The actress said, "These girls just started taking me on. What they started saying instead of 'b*tch stay away from my man', they started using racial slurs. Like, 'I smell curry', 'Ooh, I smell curry walking down the hallway', and 'I don't think she had the time to shower'. Nasty, racial things. Then it became just bullying, pushing against lockers, and writing something nasty in the bathroom stalls. Things like mean girl stuff that high school is made of,"
