They’re only being surfaced based at a dinner table ‘creating drama.’ I’m the one that’s actually struggling because I’m open to the f—ing world. If anyone has the right to get paid the most, it’s me, and I’ve never asked for that, ever.”

Demi concedes, “Where I went wrong was being willing to knock her off, but that came from a place of us being in a bad place.”
