"After it, I threw up on her. I told the story publicly, but changed it to be a 'funny drunk story' because I didn't know how else to handle it, she added. "Later, she agreed to help me get my US visa. So I kept it a secret."
"But I did tell ya'll she wasn't a good person," Rose went on to say about PerryInstead, I got attacked by everyone."
