Amber Rose Talks Motherhood, Fashion, and Female Empowerment

I'm Oliver Trevena here on the Young Hollywood sofa with the beautiful, lovely Amber Rose.

Hello.

How are you?

I'm good. How are you?

Looking stylish as ever.

Thank you.

I knew I was gonna have to step up my game today, but I feel like I've still failed. Just it's all black but it it just works. It works. It works.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Yeah, is it are these your glasses? Is this your eyewear?

You know what, I'm so pissed because everyone's been asking me that today, and I do have my own sunglasses line.

I know you do, yeah.

And I feel, can I curse on here?

Yes.

Okay, great. I feel pretty because I didn't like wear my own sunglasses, but that's because I gave them all away to people.

Okay.

So I don't even have my own pair of my own sunglasses.

Yeah. Always keep one pair.

I know. Always keep one pair.

Especially when you're on TV and stuff.

I know. It helps, it helps.

But anyway, well, we're we'll check them out. We can't check them out right now. It helps. It helps.

No. Amber Rose Eyewear. com.

There you go. That's a subtle plug. We just did that. We just did that. Something else that we have to talk to talk about, very important. Um, the SlutWalk. Yes. Yes. Tell us about this. It started in Toronto in 2011, correct?

Yes, I did not start the SlutWalk. I just uh embraced the movement and start wanted to have my own SlutWalk. So it started in 2011 when uh in Toronto when a woman was sexually assaulted on a college campus. And uh afterwards, a police officer then went to the college and said, "Listen, girls, you know, you can't be dressing like sluts and expect guys not to touch you." So obviously it was a uproar and these two women started a SlutWalk.

Right. Right. Yes. Nice, nice work, Mr. Policeman.

Yeah. Yeah. There you go. So yeah, so now I have my own SlutWalk. Um, we have 15,000 feminists coming.

And you released a book a book this year as well, which tell us about the premise of the book. It's kind of, you know, about female power and stuff like that.

Um, it is, but it's um in a really cool way. It's uh about my childhood. Um, when I was a dancer and um it's a lot of the mistakes that I've made um throughout my life and and uh what I've learned from those mistakes. So I'm helping women not make the same mistakes. Basically.

Right. Um, it's financial and relationships are in there as well, right?

Yes, I talk about finances, relationships, friends. Um, there's a lot of different aspects in in people's lives that they really don't have it all together. For the longest time, I I always used to bring like really negative people in my life because I have such a compassionate heart that I've always seen the good in people, rather than the bad. Right. And that was kind of like not good for me. So I learned from that and um now I only have extremely positive people in my life.

There you go. It's called How To Be A Bad. I just finished the audio. Which I love the title.

Thank you. Yeah. Um, I just finished the audio book.

Okay. So if you love my speaking voice,

Right, go get the audio book. Okay. Yeah, it's I will never do it again. But um, it's gonna be really cool. Really.

So it went well, you enjoyed it?

It's just really hard to read a full book out loud and not miss a word or It's really hard to just read a full book.

It is. Let alone out loud.

Yeah, I can stick to Where's Waldo.

Yeah. Where's Waldo.

That's my book. Where's Waldo? Yeah, it's perfect, it's perfect for me. Yeah. It's just there. It's just easy.

Obviously, very fashionable. You mentioned the eye eyeliner that you've got and and what else is going on in the fashion world?

Um, in the fashion world, not too much. I kind of just have like my own little swag. It's not um a passion of mine to make clothes. Um, not right now.

Just wear them very well.

Yeah, I kind of just I enjoy that more than actually really getting in there and and making them.

Okay. That's good. You you do enough and you're a mom as well, so you need to take some time off.

I am a mom and I don't get any time off ever.

Right. Take a little bit. Take a little bit.

Well, he just went with his dad this morning. Okay. So I can go take a nap after this.

That's good. That's good. Yeah. And he's in his terrible twos as well. We were talking about that. He is. So that

Nobody told me last night. What? So, obviously my son loves me because I'm his mother.

Oh, obviously. Obviously.

But um, he sleeps in the bed with me because he's a spoiled rotten because he's mommy's little baby. I was like, "Baby, I love you, I love you, goodnight." He said, "Mommy, I don't like you." Oh. And I said, "Where did you hear that at?" And he said, "I don't know. I just don't." And I said, "What?" What? His mind was crushed. Yeah. But then like this morning, he's like, "Mommy, don't go. I love you, I love you, mommy. Don't go, don't leave me." So I don't know. I guess he's smart. He's gonna be a killer in the dating world. That's what he meant to do. Right. Push him away, pull him back. He's read the game, he's read that book. It's like he's just it's just like, I don't know. It's just it's the terrible twos. It's just what kids do. And I told some of my other friends, "I'm like, this is this normal?" And they're like, "Girl, my kid told me he hated me so many times." I'm like, I guess it's normal, they'll just grow out of it.

You're guest starring on Black-ish. Is this is this correct as well? I read that. You are.

Yes. Yes. Amazing. a full episode, I'm in a full episode. Yeah. Um, it was amazing. I love comedy. I love comedy and uh hopefully I can get on Black-ish again. Right. Um, or maybe have my own show. That would be really cool.

I can see it happening with your following. I mean, you're gonna get a lot of viewing figures. It's great. For sure. If you could guest star on any other show right now, what would it be?

New Girl.

New Girl? Why? Oh, look at that. I like New Girl. Look at that. I can see you knocking on that door.

Yeah. Me too. Hey, let's make it happen. Make it happen. Yeah. Young Hollywood, come on.

This might happen. This might happen. We need to do it. It needs to do it. And the Amber Rose Foundation as well, they can find out more about everything that you do there.

Yes, it's everything's under the Amber Rose Foundation. Um, I think a misconception is people think I actually make money from this. Right. And I don't. It's a nonprofit. Everything is donated. Um, even from my Rosebuds, my fans, $5 here, $10 here, $20 here. You guys really, really made it happen and uh thanks to all my friends and everyone who donated because it's a big deal. It's a really big deal. Biggest thing I've ever done.

Biggest thing. It won't be the biggest thing. I've got a feeling.

I don't know. We'll see. Let's shut down the whole city next time. We might shut down the whole We might shut down the whole city. Should we do it? Should we do it? We'll team up. We're gonna shut down all of LA next year, but for this year, just out. It's gonna be like Coachella. Just in the middle of LA. Let's do it. Let's do it. I'm down. I'm down. We should start planning that.

Cool. Amber Rose.
