Amber Rose Says She’s Done With Feminism After Experiencing Its ‘Dark Side’

Rose, who previously held a SlutWalk, accused some feminists of extortion and false pregnancies.

Amber Rose claims that there was a "dark side" to feminism that she no longer wanted to be involved with.

The model and television personality, who organized several SlutWalk events in the 2010s, was a guest on the new episode of podcast Club Shay Shay, which was posted to YouTube on Thursday (March 6). While it was active, SlutWalk brought out other famous names like Blac Chyna and Rose's ex-boyfriend, 21 Savage.

Around the 1:45:00 mark of the video above, Rose and host Shannon Sharpe discussed co-parenting, and shared that she never took the fathers of her two sons, Wiz Khalifa and AE to court.

When asked if women tried to get pregnant to financially exploit men, Rose confirmed that she's personally seen it happen. "I've had girlfriends lie about abortions to get money, to act like they're pregnant. Yes, it's disgusting," Rose told Sharpe.

"This is why I stopped my SlutWalk, by the way. This is why I'm no longer a feminist because I saw the dark side of what women can do," she continued. "I'm sitting here feeling slighted by men, and then I'm fighting for equality, and I'm like, 'The only equality is that you bitches ain't shit, either.'"

Rose then accused some feminists of "extorting men" and "lying about pregnancies" and lying about their use of birth control to "trap" men.

"Not to sound vulgar, but if a man c*ms inside of you and you say that you're on birth control, he trusts you," Rose added. "It's fucked up that you would trap him like that. You don't do that to people."

Although Rose nearly relaunched SlutWalk in 2022, she cancelled the annual event in 2019 around the time of her second pregnancy. In her Instagram announcement about SlutWalk being over, the 41-year-old shared that "toxic" relationships caused her to pull the plug.

"Fuck fake friends and their weirdo shit," she wrote in the since-deleted Instagram post. "I'd rather just have my family and my team. P.S This is also why I'm not having my SlutWalk this year.... Sorry I just have to protect my energy and peace."

Elsewhere in Amber Rose's Club Shay Shay interview, she opened up about the support—or lack thereof—that her ex, Ye (formerly known as Kanye West), has around him, saying she believes the absence of a strong group could explain his recent online outbursts. She also said he is responsible for his wife's Bianca Censori’s recent provocative looks.
