I could never thank her enough. "I have been called ‘a decadent actress‚ a gold digger‚ a psychopathic b**ch‚ a spoilt brat‚’ but then I remember who I really am‚ the sacrifices that have been made for me to pursue my calling.”She went on to add that despite the criticism she has held her head high.“Yes‚ one gets weary and yes‚ you start to believe that you're a psychotic gold digging bitch at times but then God sends His angels to remind you‚ in the midst of the noise‚ that you are a good person.”..
