“Oh no, I’ve been—yeah, I used to love a good strip club back in the day. Actually no, I… I haven’t been to a strip club in a minute, but like when I was a drinker, oh you couldn’t get me out of those places.” (quotes courtesy Ringside News)

In her interview, she emphasized that while those days are behind her, the experiences continue to resonate with others who may be facing similar battles.
