She continued: “I’m not a hysterical/mendacity/lazy lunatic. I can pull up performances from 2014 of unreleased singles too. That is past fucked up. I’m so annoyed & over it.
“Being ‘tough’ or ‘excessive strung’ doesn’t give folks the proper to break & stall my profession,” she wrote. “I’m in a tough state of affairs & I’ve to be ‘tough’ to get by it. I’ve to guard my work & myself someway?
“Loads of it isn’t being allowed to say or do something I need/want with out it being dismissed. I can’t consider a time within the final 7 years the place I’ve been capable of simply concentrate on what I’m imagined to do, regardless of having to mainly sacrifice each side of my life to ensure it occurs.
“It’s not okay. If I’m not allowed to say one thing with out consequence & the people who find themselves imagined to do their job refuse to look out for me… How am I not going to be ‘tough’?!?”
