ABBEY LEE / ON THE RECORD

“Terry doesn’t force girls to do anything they don’t want to.
He puts you in a G-string in a pile of mud because you want to do it.
You touch yourself because you want to. For me, that shoot was
the truth about how things were between us both, and I felt good
doing it. I’m not ashamed of it — why should I be?”
