The reality star is locked in a legal battle with her ex
Lochan hit back in a video stating his after the couple split is behind Whitney’s bombshell racism claims.
After mud-slinging from both sides on social media, Whitney has now spoken out again in the first episode of her new podcast Dare to Talk with her sister Lizzie, and she took the opportunity to address some things.
The sisters began their episode by saying “we can’t be silenced” before going on to address social media criticism she’s received.
The reality star, , expressed: “Do you know what I’ve been seeing on social media recently, I’ve been seeing like, ‘Oh, Whitney’s this, Whitney’s that’.
“But I feel like this podcast is going to be a good opportunity to see what I’m really like, because I didn’t like the perception I was being portrayed as.
“We’ll get into it in future episodes, people were obviously defending my right, to what case it is I don’t know because I get cussed every week.”
Whitney went on to add that she no longer cares what people think of her because they don’t know her.
She continued: “The people that came forward, it took me aback, I thought is this what I’m putting out into the world?
“Is this what people think of me and sometimes even though you can say, ‘But you don’t know me, you don’t know me’, but sometimes there comes a point where you’re like, ‘okay but why was you able to develop this opinion of me?
“Like what have I done that has made you think that way of me?
“I feel like I’ve not really given the real me yet, it’s always been conservative and shadowed by ‘what if this person thinks that and I’ve just lost the will to care.”
Whitney and Lochan, both 27, .
Their recent feud hit fever pitch earlier last month when she posted an explosive watched by millions.
In it she explained the racial slur and said: “Lochan, are we doing this? Are we really going to go for the nice boy, puppy dog eye, look? Really?
“Back to the situation of how it happened. We were walking back from lunch, going back to his place, and I was like, ‘babe, look how my skin glistens in the sun’.
“And he looked at me and he was like, ‘ugh, it’s dirty’. And then only when I lashed out, he was like, it was a joke, it was a joke. He was crying.
“He called all my family members, saying it was a joke, it was a joke. And because Lochan gives off this golden retriever energy no one would ever believe that he would ever say it maliciously.
“But you guys know I have dark humor, so I know when something’s a joke and when something’s being said seriously.”
She then claimed that Lochan’s mum had too made a racial slur towards her.
