That's okay.
I experienced a lot of sexual abuse.
That really chipped away at my soul.
But getting into dance really opened my eyes.
There's a whole world out there that could possibly have me.
When I got the call for the Pussycat Dolls, I had to sort of choose.
You can either go on a Britney Spears tour or you do Pussycat Dolls.
And when they gave me that mohawk and biker boots, it was another level of what it meant to own my space.
I just didn't want that dream to go drifting.
But it came close.
I look back and get how misguided these headlines were.
Trying to pick women against women and call us strippers and all of it was telling me that I was replaceable and worthless.
Did you make money out of the Pussycat Dolls?
The levels in which I didn't see that amount of money is definitely present.
Can you just talk me through how that happened?
I'd grown from such a low and got to such a place where I'd overcome so much to then end up in a low again.
When it all came to an end and my mental and physical health wasn't going to sustain what was being asked of me, I had to put my ego aside, the identity of being known.
But I think it's important to come back together and make this all happen again.
Are you ready?
I've got goosebumps again.
