“Best f–king time of my life,” Amber said in her GQ interview. “I’m not going to say young girls should go be dancers. But that was my journey, and I don’t regret it.” Go Amber! The “How to Be a Bad B—h” author was shocked that the Kardashians continued to diss her about being a stripper when she was 18-year-old Kylie Jenner‘s age, especially when Kim Kardashian infamously shot a sex tape when she was very young. Amber isn’t the only woman in their world with a scandalous past — and she doesn’t see anything wrong with hers.
“I said [to Khloe Kardashian], ‘Your sister has a career because your other sister made a sex tape and put the whole family on,” Amber explained. “I think it’s f–king awesome that she did a sex tape and made millions of dollars for her family. But let’s not forget where we came from. Because I didn’t.”
She…has a really good point there! Amber has endured a lot of criticism and slut-shaming for her stripper past, due to her high-profile relationships with Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa, with whom she shares her son, Sebastian. Both men have jumped on the criticism train in the past; Kanye famously said he had to take “30 showers” when he started dating Kim because of “dirty” Amber. Wiz rapped something truly awful about her: “I fell in love with a stripper/Funny thing is, I fell back out of love quicker.” Funny; Amber was a stripper long before she met Wiz.
Amber is incredibly strong, and deals with this slut-shaming so admirably. What a brave move to call out her detractors, and express herself so candidly. HollywoodLifers, are you surprised by Amber’s comments? Tell us in the comments and take our poll!
