"But all of these women are in my DMs," Bunnie Xo continued, alluding to some miscommunication of what she meant.
"And if they did message J, they copy and paste or screenshot the message that they sent him. And I'm just like, 'No, all of you girls are just so f--king sweet. Like, thank you so much. I love you guys.' But they're just like pouring into me and they're like just everybody's just like, 'Dude, I don't want to be in his DMs. I want to be in yours.'"
