Amber Rose

1983 - Today

By: Alex Lederman | Date Added:

On October 3, 2015, Rose led the L.A.-based SlutWalk to honor all women who have been judged and demeaned for their sexual behavior. The SlutWalk event is geared toward raising awareness about sexual injustice, victim blaming, derogatory labeling, and gender inequality. The Amber Rose SlutWalk aims to impact and uplift while shifting the paradigm of rape culture. The event provides a safe, all-inclusive space to entertain, educate and empower. "Why would Amber Rose, of all people, decide to revive the Slut Walk? Well, quite plainly, because she is one of the most visibly (and brutally) slut-shamed women in the public eye. It’s difficult to conceive of a couple more famous than Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, and West is in the habit of firing subliminal (and not-so-subliminal) shots at Amber Rose, in what can only be described as butthurt, heartbroken ex-boyfriend bullshit."
