Whitney Cummings admits she was high on weed when she accidentally posted topless video
Whitney Cummings owns her mistakes and the comedian did just that when she appeared on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show'. Speaking to Clarkson, Cummings revealed that she was under the influence when she accidentally took a video in which her nipple was shown.
"It wasn't that bad," she said, as reported by People. "It was actually my own fault. I was doing Instagram Stories one night and weed is now legal in California, which is not a good mix. I had done [a story] and it kind of slipped a little bit."
Even though Cummings had deleted the post soon after she realized her mistake, some people were quick to screengrab the post and later demanded money from her in exchange for the clip that was captured by them. However, Cummings wasn't going to let people walk over her and blackmail her.
"I was like, I'm not giving you my money, I've worked too hard," she said. "I paid good money [for my boobs]! I'm proud of them."
Cummings revealed that she wasn't pleased to see how the events had turned out. "I was annoyed!" she said. "There are better nude photos of me. I'm in the bathtub. I look like I'm having a home birth."
Ultimately, Cumings decided to handle the situation in her way and she did so by sharing the pictures herself. "I just took the bargaining chip off the table. It was the only thing I knew how to do," she said. "It's a boob!"
In a series of tweets, Cummings explained what had happened. "In April I accidentally posted an insta story that showed nipple. Once I realized, I deleted," the first tweet read.
"The people who took screen grabs are trying to get money from me, some said they have offers to sell them, some are asking for money to not post the photo."
She continued in the second tweet along with the picture, "They all must think I'm way more famous than I am, but they also must think I'm way more easily intimidated than I am. If anyone is gonna make money or likes off my nipple, it's gonna be me. So here it all is, you foolish dorks."
She also shared a message for all the blackmailers: "When a woman in the public eye is extorted, we have to spend time, money and energy dealing with it, hiring lawyers and security experts, and living with a pit in our stomach about when and how we will be humiliated. Y'all can have my nipple, but not my time or money anymore."
