Talking about the trolls who fat-shamed her on social media, she told Detroit Free Press, "After going through such a traumatic experience and I almost died, this is what people have to say. I just think these people have no conscience anymore. People have no idea that I used to be 400 pounds and now I am the way I am. I have a lot of people that have my back but I also wanted to go and speak for myself too. Shame on people like that. I am glad I am alive and share my story. This isn’t going to stop me from doing what I love. So the Haters are going to hate and it isn’t going to get me because of my story someone will not make that mistake."
