Amber Rose Speaks Out For The First Time About Alleged Use Of Her Image To Lure Women In Sex Scam

Model and actress Amber Rose says she was “extremely outraged” and “in shock” when she learned last week that a company reportedly used her name and image to try and lure aspiring models into prostitution. "I’m all for women empowerment and to see something like that, it made me really sad because I always wanted to be a model when I was young, and I was young and easily manipulated, just like these girls. Thank God I didn’t fall into anything like that,” she tells The Doctors in an exclusive interview.

According to reports, a woman said a company was trying to entice her into prostitution after she responded to an Instagram post soliciting models “for a paid celebrity photoshoot and clothing line.” Those who responded to the post reportedly were told Amber Rose was helping select the models and were set up on a fake FaceTime call with her. Then, the company tried to set the models up on dates with “rich” men and sent text messages telling the women if they agreed to be intimate, it would help them land better opportunities. TMZ has reported that the Los Angeles Police Department is investigating to determine whether a crime was committed.

In the video above, Amber explains how she first learned of the scam, and offers words of advice for aspiring models and actresses. “If you are getting hit up by a [social media] account that is not verified, or you are not actually meeting that person, you have to know that this is a scam,” she warns.
