However in a more recent post while reacting to the backlash, Simi on her official X, admitted that she should have approached the conversation thoughtfully.
The lengthy post reads:
“In hindsight, I should have had this conversation more carefully. I didn’t because I honestly didn’t consider that it could be something that might be considered as cocky. I have never been proud of it. I do not even see how it is something to be proud about.
“It was banter. In the wrong place. This is why I know I should have been more careful. It was a 2 hour interview with drinking and cussing, so I was chatting like I would with friends. It does hurt that whoever cut that clip and wrote that headline did it with intention. It is impossible to watch the entire interview and come away with the feeling that you would have watched the clip that everyone was sharing,”
