WARNING: Graphic language
AMBER
Rose was a bundle of emotions when she was joined by hundreds of
scantily-clad backers as she led a protest against sexual violence and
‘slut-shaming’.The curvaceous 31-year-old actor and model was all smiles as she led the SlutWalk march in Los Angeles with the support of her mother, waving a sign that read ‘Strippers Have Feelings Too’.
But when she opened up onstage about being slut-shamed as a mere 14-year-old and raised her nasty high-profile breakups in front of the crowd of people at the weekend event, she broke down in tears.
Proud protester
In a clip posted on YouTube, Rose spoke of her emotional pain in the wake of slanderous comments made be her rapper ex-lovers, Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa.
Most famously, Kanye said in a radio interview he had to take 30 showers after breaking up with Rose before Kim Kardashian would have considered hooking up with him.
Meanwhile, she was labelled a ‘stripper’ and a ‘ho’ in song For Everybody by Wiz, with whom she has two-year-old son Sebastian.
Brimming brigade
“All I did was ever love him. I just loved him so much and gave him a beautiful son, and to be told that I was nothing but a stripper, it hurt,” Rose confessed between sobs.

“I suggest you guys to the same and I’ll tell you why: because ... people are ignorant and you have to be the bigger person and be the positive person to forgive and move on and help other people move on around you.”
Her supercool mum was apparently less forgiving, pictured on Instagram brandishing a sign with the words ‘F--- YO 30 showers!’ in an epic slap-down directed at Kanye.
Motherly love
SlutWalks are part of an international movement, including in Australia, which fights sexist double standards placed on women and the insidious culture of blaming rape victims for their fashion choices.
Rose is increasingly active in the women’s rights movement, having set up a non-profit organisation named the Amber Rose Foundation and a GoFundMe page supporting the cause.
She vows that her Los Angeles SlutWalk event will be the first of many.
