Amber Rose Shuts Down Tyrese, Rev Run When They Say Her Image May Be Why She Gets ‘Sexually Assaulted Constantly’
“It doesn’t matter how far I take it or what I have on, when I say no, it means no.”
quickly shut show hosts Tyrese Gibson and Rev Run on an upcoming episode of It’s Not You, It’s Men, set to air on Saturday, February 20. During her appearance, Rose revealed that she gets “sexually assaulted constantly,” and proceeded to go toe-to-toe with the male hosts. They then suggested that perhaps fans’ willingness to act in such ways is due to the way she presents herself.
The famous celeb began by explaining,
“When I walk down the street, people think because I’m famous, or I’m cool and I’m taking pictures, that they can just grab my ass or put their hand under my skirt or, ‘Oh Amber, can I come grab your boobs?’ Girls do that to me all the time, and it does get like, I love you girls so much, but it does get like, stop grabbing on my boobs constantly and my butt. And guys, too. This is my privacy.”
Rev Run, 51, gently offered that perhaps Rose’s fans felt like they could do these things because her public image is so open.
“Maybe it’s because of a representation of what you’re wearing and stuff and seems like, in their mind, what you’re representing.”
Tyrese, 37, agreed with his co-host, trying to make his point as carefully as possible.
“I’m just saying, the comfort-ability some people find in wanting to touch or grope you … it’s an energy that is sent out there that creates that type of response.”
immediately slammed both men’s suggestions.
“No, it doesn’t, and I’m gonna tell you why,” the outspoken model said. “If I’m laying down with a man butt-naked and his condom is on, and I say, ‘You know what? No. I don’t wanna do this. I changed my mind.’ That means no. That means f—k no. It doesn’t matter how far I take it or what I have on, when I say no, it means no.”
Rev Run responds, “I’ve just heard a quote that was like, ‘Dress how you wanna be addressed…'”
“Oh, boo,” Rose retorts. “No. That’s not realistic. Stop it.”
Realizing how fired up she is, Rose clarifies that her frustration isn’t personally directed at Tyrese or Rev Run.
“I’m not mad at y’all,” she tells them. “That’s how society raised all of us.”
