“My boobs were trending on Twitter! At number one! What is that?! Every outlet wrote about my boobs!” she told the magazine. “I was born with fucking boobs, bro. I was born with DNA that was gonna give me big-ass boobs.”
“Someone with smaller boobs could wear a tank top, and I could put on that exact tank top and get slut-shamed because my boobs are big. That is stupid.”
