Amber Rose: Treat me the same as Beyonce
Model and social media personality Amber Rose is tired of the double standard she believes exists from people who criticize her and Kim Kardashian while giving Beyonce a pass.
"They come at me and Kim so hard because I was a stripper and she had a sex tape," Rose said in an interview with The Daily Beast. "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.'"
"We don't have the talent that Beyoncé has, so we get criticized as former sex workers," Rose said. "But 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."
The alignment Rose with Kardashian -- after she stood up for the reality TV star following other celebrities criticizing Kardashian's nude selfie -- could prove to be a breaking of new ground between the personalities, if not a step toward actual friendship.
"The thing is, me and Kim will probably -- I won't say we'll never be friends, but we accept each other for who we are, and that's the most important thing as women," Rose said. "I don't get along with her husband -- I don't think we'll ever be the best of friends -- but it's good that we understand who we both are, got all that s**t out on the table and can just move on with our lives knowing that the Internet is mostly what gave us the beef we had. We didn't naturally have any beef with each other, the Internet just naturally instigated everything. So we got it all out and it's all good now."
