It might be a while before Amber Rose can set foot into her hometown again. The popular model/TV host is being dragged on social media for basically calling the women she grew up with in South Philly ugly.

Let Rose tell it, she’s the only pretty girl from South Philly. Rose appeared on N.O.R.E’s Drink Champs radio show earlier this month and actually fixed her mouth to say it was hard for her growing up in Philly because she was pretty while everybody else were not “traditionally attractive.”
“I grew up in a very poor neighborhood, and I don’t know how I can say this without sounding f**ked up, but a lot of the people where I’m from aren’t traditionally attractive people. And for me, being blessed with beauty, as beautiful women know, is a blessing and a curse.”
“And to grow up in such an area, to be blessed with beauty, it was very difficult for me, and a lot of people used to be like ‘you ain’t from South Philly; you’re from California or somewhere.’ And I’d be on the bus and people would be lie, ‘Where you from?’”
Social media quickly called out Rose (who is currently all about being a feminist and empowering women) for tearing down other women. Using old school photos of Rose, she was mocked and dragged online for her comments.

After being dragged, Rose apologized for her comments and said that she “finds beauty in everyone.”
“I know that people really want me to be a superficial bitch but I’m just not that person. I find beauty in everyone. Unfortunately, it’s not easy doing interviews and always saying things the way you really want to articulate. I wasn’t saying that’s how I felt, I was saying that’s how people treated me.”
