Amber Rose Accused Female Vibe Interviewer of Hitting on Her


After Amber Rose went berserk on Vibe Magazine for what she felt was a disrespectful interview [click here if you missed that], Vibe posted a statement  online standing by the interview and also released some excerpts painting Amber as difficult and revealing she'd accused her female interviewer of hitting on her...

In a message addressed to Vibe readers, Vibe editor in chief Jermaine Hall wrote,
"As we're sure you've heard, Amber Rose has expressed some displeasure with VIBE's June/July cover story. VIBE stands by the accuracy and reporting of the narrative. We invite you to form your own opinion, however. The Sexy Issue hits stands nationwide June 7."
Jermaine and Vibe also posted a few excerpts from the interview and one section details how Amber Rose switched interviewers because she felt the first one, a bi-sexual female, was hitting on her.
The conversation turns, however, after the reporter mentions that like Amber Rose, she too is a proud bisexual. They talk about their shared crush on Disney’s Princess Jasmine, but then Rose’s manager chimes in: “I don’t want any girlfriend talk. She’s in a relationship with a man right now, so can we talk about that?”

“We can talk about it,” Rose says. “It just has to be written very tastefully because when people think of bisexuals they think of nasty, freaky girls that have threesomes all day.”

Time is up. When Rose departs for her meeting, her manager asks if she could borrow VIBE’s Town Car.

A call to arrange another interview with Rose, results in her manager quickly hanging up.

Later that afternoon, a VIBE editor contacts Rose’s manager. The manager is concerned about some of the people contacted for secondary interviews. She also suspects that the reporter is trying to have sex with her client. Rose, her manager says, isn’t comfortable talking to the reporter again, so VIBE agrees to let another contributor conduct the follow-up interview with Rose.
