In the almost 4-minute-long video, which featured her sitting on the bathroom floor in her robe and with pet cat, she continued in tears,
How can you give someone everything and love them so unconditionally, like through stuff that you shouldn’t, … how can you give every ounce of yourself to someone and then be discarded of in a few days?I wanted to heal privately… And I didn’t even know that he was gonna post that and we broke up yesterday. So, I wasn’t ready to do anything publicly … I wanted to just handle this as a human first.
