“No , not at all . I feel like a lot of her fans will flip sides once they see how she treated me on the show . I had no beef with draya prior to filming. I actually tried to be cool with her.”
What do you hope fans will learn about you this season?
“I hope the fans will learn that I’ve grown from a bad girl in to a grown woman . A big misconception that people have of me is that I’m mean or a bully. I’m not that at all I’m actually really sweet until provoked.”
