“I don’t think I’d be a party girl [even if I were] in college. When I was in high school, I remember seeing girls crying in the bathroom every Monday about what they did at a party that weekend. I never wanted to be that girl crying in the bathroom.”

“I only did the show to defuse the rumors,” she told Life & Style at the Nylon and Nike sportswear event on Tuesday. “And then they wanted us to do these crazy things, like my son cheating on his girlfriend, me faking a pregnancy.
