Amber Rose has some more truth bombs to detonate. Rose, 32, is most frequently referred to as a former stripper who dated Kanye West and later married rapper Wiz Khalifa and bore his child.
Never mind the fact that she’s actually a successful model, an author, a clothing designer, and a very vocal advocate for feminism.
“No one gives a fuck that Channing Tatum was a stripper. He’s an established actor who’s at the Vanity Fair parties and the Oscars, but for me, no matter how far I go in my life, I see these stories that keep referring to me as a ‘former stripper.'” she told The Daily Beast.
“No one says ‘former stripper’ about Channing Tatum, or ‘former McDonald’s worker’ about Brad Pitt. No one does that to men.”

Indeed, Tatum has never tried to make a secret of his stripper past. It’s been celebrated and then immortalised on film — two films — and he’s lauded for being sexy and a good actor.
Rose’s stripping career took place when she was in her teens to help make ends meet for her family. She is the target of misogynistic rantings by her ex-boyfriend Kanye West. She was also described in a GQ interview as variously, “the teen stripper turned megalomaniac muse”, “the most famous girlfriend in rap history”, and “Kanye’s infamous ex, Wiz Khalifa’s baby mama”.
