“I walked away, fulfilled my contract and denied money that they were offering me,” she said of leaving the show after her contract ended in 2018, despite big money being offered to her. She said she didn’t want what they were offering because she saved up enough money to move on and not look back.
“Over six figures. Y’all can keep that,” she said. “I’m good. They even offered to open up my tattoo shop for me so that they could control it. I had saved every VH1 check. I had never spent not one dollar of it when I came to North Carolina. That’s how I was able to do everything I’ve been able to do ’cause I didn’t use the money. I worked. I still worked and was still on TV.”
