I wasn’t going to ever say them because it’s none of my business. It’s not my problem. I know she thinks I have a big note-taking app on her, which she would like. She’s never been on my phone. But I think when you’re pushed to a certain point, you just start saying whatever you want. And that’s what I did.”

“I have some things in store that I’m going to show,” she revealed.
