Amber Rose isn’t ashamed of her stripper past, but she doesn’t understand why she’s the only one who gets criticized for it.
The 32-year-old reality TV star, who began stripping at 15, specifically called out Channing Tatum, who started taking his clothes off on stage in Tampa after dropping out of the University of South Florida.
“He even made a movie about being a stripper! And everyone bought it and they loved it and they were like, ‘Oh my God, ‘Magic Mike,’ we gotta go see it!’ But if I did that, people would tell me I was disgusting,” Rose told Cosmopolitan South Africa in its October issue, according to Us Weekly.
“I run eight business, I’m the CEO of my own company and still I’m called a stripper. It’s so ridiculous. We’ve had the same life, (Channing) and I, and I’m dumbed down for it. It’s not his fault, it’s just society.”
He’ll also bring “Magic Mike Live” at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas in March 2017.
The “21 Jump Street” actor has made a career for himself after going to Hollywood, but Rose says she’s done the same thing without the credit.
“Everything I’ve done, I’ve worked hard for,” she told the Cosmo South Africa. “Anyone can have fame, but I’ve started companies. I’ve brought my brand to the next level. Nobody did that but me. No one is going to dim my light.”
