Amber Rose is facing heavy backlash over comments she made about Philly women not being “traditionally attractive.”
Amber, a south Philly native, appeared on the Drink Champs podcast where she opened up about the “gift and curse” of beauty.
“I grew up in a very poor neighborhood. I don’t know how to say this without sounding fucked up. A lot of the people where I’m from aren’t traditionally attractive people. For me being blessed with beauty a beautiful know, it’s a blessing and a curse. To grow up in such an area and to be blessed with beauty it was very difficult to me. A lot of people used to be like you’re not from South Philly, you’re from California.”
