She said, “The only thing I feel is that I feel for Naomi. I feel like I wish I could give her a hug because I know what it’s like.” She added, “Not everyone is the same. I’m thick. Other people are thin. Everyone is different, and everyone handles things differently. You just have to let her handle it the way she wants to and the best way she thinks she can. That’s the only thing I can say. I think she is doing the best she can.”
