Your support makes all the difference.Amber Rose has accused Kanye West of âbullyingâ her since they broke up 10 years ago.
The model, who dated West for two years, discussed the aftermath of their relationship during an appearance on the No Jumper podcast, where she was asked if she âsoaked upâ any of the rapperâs energy.
âI didnât soak up anything from him. Me and him are two very different people,â Rose said. âIâm a compassionate person. I have empathy. I'm a good person. That's why people love me. That's why anybody I've ever dated always loved me.â
Adding that she is ânot like him at all,â Rose continued: âI didnât get anything from him.â
According to the 37-year-old, since ending their relationship in 2010, West has âbulliedâ her and âslut-shamedâ her.
âHe has picked on me for 10 years. He has bullied me for 10 years,â she said.
During the interview, host Adam âAdam22â Grandmaison referenced one instance when West said he had to take â30 showersâ after dating Rose during an interview with The Breakfast Club in 2015.
âThatâs what narcissists do,â Rose said. âYou share two years with someone, you take them around the world, you buy them all the jewellery, you shout out to the world how much you love them and how much fun you have with this person, and then the person decides that this isnât what they want their life to be⊠I opted out.
âI donât want my life to be like that. Iâm not that type of person.â
Rose also suggested that the I Love It rapper âsays things to make his wife more comfortable,â referring to Westâs wife Kim Kardashian.
âBut to slut-shame me and say that you needed 30 showers. Itâs like, bro. You took me around the world. Like, since when did you need 30 showers?â the Dancing With The Stars alum continued.
Rose referenced a more recent example of the 43-year-old speaking negatively about her as well, when West reportedly compared her to a prostitute during a speech at one of his presidential campaign rallies.
âHe just called me a prostitute at his rally, and like, itâs 10 years later, just leave me alone. I donât bother you, I donât talk about you,â she said.
During the interview, Rose, who reportedly recently married music executive Alexander Edwards, was also asked about Westâs recent behaviour, including his run for president, as well as his support for President Trump.
Explaining that she is âindifferent,â Rose said: âI donât really care, I donât really think about him like that. For me, itâs just some guy I dated 10 years ago.â
She did, however, say that she can see why the rapper âlovesâ the president, telling Grandmaison: âTheyâre twinsies. Theyâre literally the same person.
âTheyâre just the same person. Thereâs things that Trump says and Iâm like: âOh my god, thatâs Kanye. That is him.â He probably sees himself in Trump and thatâs why he supports him, Iâm assuming."
Rose and West began dating in 2008 before separating in 2010.
