  1. This is when you need to delete your social media and stop worry about it. OR…OR! Do not star in an adult film because you WILL get feedback.

  2. Such a cutie too, what a waste. This poor girl clearly made a mistake and was remorseful but tried to put a smile on her face when she was hurting inside. For people to attack this girl was wring and need to be punished to the full extent of the law.
