Amber Rose Says She and Kim Kardashian Are Slut Shamed While Beyoncé Gets a Pass
In a recent interview with the Daily Beast, Amber Rose claimed that she and Kim Kardashian are slut shamed for being half naked (or just plain naked) because they are looked at as former "sex workers" while someone like Beyoncé gets a pass because she "has talent".
"It’s bullshit, and this is the thing: They come at me and Kim so hard because I was a stripper and she had a sex tape,” says Rose, who used to strip in her teen years to help provide for her family. “So if we could sing, it would be OK if we were on stage half-naked. We all love Beyoncé, but she’s on stage half-naked and twerking all the time, yet people say, oh, she has talent so she’s able to do that."
Amber believes that that all women she be viewed equally. Basically don't call out some and give others a pass.
"At the end of the day we’re just women—we’re all women—and we should all embrace each other. No one is greater. We’re all the same. So, to criticize us as incapable of being smart businesswomen because Kim has a reality show and I’m a socialite and we don’t sing is stupid. We’ve both been in movies, and we take our acting, business ventures, and everything else very seriously.”
What Thewritefashion Thinks. I think that Amber Rose made a poor comparison in using Beyoncé, I think she was far reaching in trying to find a major female figure, In doing so, she weakened her point because it's clear that Beyoncé wears her "revealing"outfits when performing, as they are costumes. In her everyday pictures and videos that she posts on social media she is dressed in simple outfits that aren't as revealing. She also doesn't put herself out there as much as Kim Kardashian and Amber, she leads more of a quiet life, outside of the superstar we all know and love.
