"I'm going to put my hand up because I like gossip and a little bit of drama just as much as the next person," she said. "But I prefer to probably just view other people's drama than actually have it in my life because it interferes with my productivity and it interferes with where I need to go. I just don't have the time for it.

"So first of all, you might be enjoying the attention. When you have all this drama, then you're getting more attention," she said. "It's almost like when that little kid throws a fit for their parents because they want the attention and the attention that they get. And also it's a way of controlling your environment too. So that attention will come and you thrive on it."
