I want to address some issues clearly and openly.
Portable is my ex and we are not in a relationship. Any suggestion that we were dating or that I was visiting him for sex is completely false. I want nothing to do with him and move on with my life.
Spreading false and salacious stories about me is disrespectful, harmful and unacceptable. I demand that he stop immediately and that people stop entertaining or sharing these lies as we have taken legal action.
Thank you to everyone who continues to respect me and support my truth. Portable devices disappeared from my life again for a long time! ! ! “.
