Amber Rose

This is a photo of Amber Rose hosting in Vegas on Memorial Day weekend. She covered her eyebrows in white powder, and people thought she looked so different.

Amber is promoting her new tongue-in-cheek guide to life, How to Be a Bad Bitch. The cover looks very Harlequin-y and NSFW, but you can see it here. Amber had a chat with Cosmo about her burgeoning bitchdom. She talks about a turning point when she stopped caring so much what people thought. I suspect Amber’s talking about when she started calling out Tyga for dating underage Kylie Jenner. Amber spoke from experience after being exploited at Kylie’s age. She was also taking a stand against her ex, Kanye West, who completely approves of the Tyga-Kylie coupling. Kanye retaliated by saying he needed several showers after dating Amber, who won the argument with class because Kanye slut-shamed her out of bitterness.

Amber and Kanye avoided each other last weekend at a pool party. Now Amber is talking to Cosmo about how she’s stronger these days. She’s no longer subservient to a certain someone. Amber’s also discovered her feminist edge:

Her popularity after the Kanye feud: “I went from 1.2 million [Instagram followers] to 5.5 million in a couple months. I think the turning point was when I just stopped giving a f*** about what people say. One day, I just woke up and I was like, ‘You know what? I can’t sit around and stress anymore about the Internet and what people say about me. I just gotta do me.’”

She understands feminism now: “I was always about girl power, but I didn’t quite get it because I did always feel like I had to be completely submissive to a man. I was always very unhappy doing that. I think I needed time to grow up. You get to a certain point in your life where you really find out who you are, and sometimes that happens when you’re 25, but for me, it was 31. I didn’t quite know that before. I guess social media did help create the feminist monster that I’ve become.”

She started stripping at 15: “I was very, very young. I did it and I was like, ‘Oh, hell no, I cannot do this.’ I was a kid. I think I was still a virgin at the time. Being onstage with my boobs out, it was like, ‘Oh my god, this is not for me.’” By 18, though, she had gotten more comfortable with herself and stripped until she was 25. “That was the best time of my life! Oh my god, I had so much fun. I really did. All the girls were really cool. I was young, beautiful, I was onstage, I wasn’t really ashamed of my body. I made lifelong friends.”

She gets up at 6:30 am & spends all her time with Bash: “I don’t even want to have sex. I really don’t! I’m just so focused on my son and my work and everything that I’m trying to do. I just don’t even wanna be bothered.”

Amber also talks about sort of dating Machine Gun Kelly, but she hopes to get back with Wiz Khalifa before their divorce is final. That part of the discussion is sketchy, but I like what she says about feminism. So many women honestly don’t know what the word means. I’m glad Amber educated herself and can now speak up. Yes, she was totally talking about Kanye when she talked about having to be subservient.
