The 28-year-old said: “He says all these things on me on social media about how I’m a coward, and I’m a dumba*s, and this and that, and that and this. I’ve never been so harassed in my life. … So you can say what you want, but when it comes down to it, this guy was ready to go. All them words, that’s f*ckin’ cheap, man.
