She detailed how she tries to maintain her own identity, outside of her husband’s name saying, “It’s important to me to maintain my own identity and sometimes that can be hard when someone else’s identity is so strong and so strong.”

The model went on to describe how she had been treated by people; and the attitude she had perceived over the years.

In her words, “I’m not going to change my identity. It was this attitude I was feeling towards me of ‘there’s no reason you should be speaking up or talking about things you care about because you’re only here because of him’. and I remember thinking that’s your prerogative, I’m still going to say and talk and be whoever I wanna be.”
