After the suspension became public, Kenya wrote on social media: “Don’t believe anything you hear and half of what you see. The truth always comes out.”

She added: “I would never engage in revenge porn, I have never distributed anyone’s private pictures or footage, nor have I requested pictures from others to threaten or blackmail. I have always been vindicated. I can’t talk about STORY even when people are spreading fake news #sweet16.”

Brittany wrote, “It’s never a nice feeling to be attacked or bullied by someone I thought would welcome me into a new circle but who I’ve never met.”

“Just to clarify,” she continued, “I have never owned a weapon or threatened anyone. I have never been to jail, fought, or even received a speeding ticket. That is not my character. I am hurt by the portrayal that is being presented here. Wrong is wrong.”
