Amber Rose took to the stage in a very slight black leather dress on Saturday in L.A.’s Pershing Square at the Amber Rose Slut Walk and tore into Kanye West. After Frenchie Davis sang and feminist speakers spoke Rose said, “I decided to have the Slut Walk for women who’ve been through shit like me.”
She then got very emotional as she began to speak about her experience with slut shaming with the biggest star in hip hop Kanye West. She described how they
travelled the world together, went to fashion shows, had a beautiful baby, and then when it was over he called her a slut and nothing but a stripper.
She pointed out that after they broke up Kanye wrote the song, “I fell in love with a stripper but fell out of love quicker.” Years ago she said she would never forgive the hip hop star. (She has forgiven Kim Kardashian for sleeping with him.)
After tears, and her mother stepping up to wipe her eyes, she said of Kanye, “I have forgiven him. I suggest you guys do the same and I’ll tell you why. People are ignorant at times and you have to be the bigger person to move on and help other people.”
“It still hurts. It still fucking hurts. But you gotta let go of that negativity.”
In the crowd, people help up signs that said, “Fuck Yo 30 Showers Yo.” A reference to Kanye’s interviews where he said he had to take 30 showers after dating Amber. She also took time at Slut Walk to forgive Wiz Khalifa, who also shamed her after they broke up.
The moment underlined why Amber Rose chose to support Slut Walk, because she has been the victim of incredibly public “slut shaming” herself. Her 20 million plus social media followers seem to be in tune with her.
