‘It hurt me and I discussed it with my family, and I cried to my husband [Nick Jonas]and my team, and I felt really bad about the fact that I’m not the sample size, and that’s a problem, apparently, and most of us aren’t,” according to People.

Roach told the publication: “It was a bit painful that it ended up in the press because that wasn’t the real conversation.” I’ve never had that conversation with her, ever.
‘So again, they’re your keepers, how they presented what I told you to make you feel that way. And if that made her feel bad, it didn’t, she was taken out of context.
But I’m sure they took it out of context for her to say, “Oh, okay, I won’t be working with him anymore. He’s insensitive to my body.” Which I’m like, how is that possible? I’ve been dressing you for literally before the pandemic, and it’s been nothing but great stuff.

‘If this business was just for clothes, I would do it for the rest of my life, but unfortunately it’s not!’ she added.
‘Politics, lies and false narratives finally got me! You win… I’m out.
