Featured Video

Amber Rose struck back against critics who attacked her ‘racy’ photos on Saturday. The artist, who is neither shy about her body nor her body, posted a photo of herself in lingerie in response to the haters. The caption read, “U Guys Love Slut Shaming Huh? Good. I feed off that shit. #HowtobeAbadBitch”.

The artist came under fire for posting revealing photos of herself, which caused critics to question her parenting capabilities. Critics who conveniently took shelter behind their computer screens called her out on being a bad mother to 2-year-old Taylor Thomaz...as if her dress had anything to do with her child rearing skills.

Women have notoriously been slut shamed based on what they wear, but why should women be penalized for feeling sexy and confident? Amber’s colleague and frenemy, Kim Kardashian, has also been criticized for wearing revealing clothing around her daughter North West––and Amber and Kim are just two of the countless women who are judged relentlessly everyday.

You call pushing a stroller in stilettos being a slut, I call it being a badass. I applaud Amber for standing up to the haters. Slut shaming is so 1800s.
