Open Letter

Everyone in my team has been telling me “keep the press happy” but I’m tired of all the countless lies in the press right now. Saying I’m going to rehab and how my family is disappointed in me. My family is beyond proud, and nothing’s been said by them. My grandparents wouldn’t know how to reach to press even if they did want to so that was a lie and rehab c’mon. If anyone believes I need rehab that’s their own stupidity lol

I’m not some 19 year-old with 5 number one albums, who has seen the whole world, and accomplished more than I could’ve dreamed of.

I’m much older and far less accomplished and it must be scary to some people to think that this is just the beginning.

I know my talent level and I know I got my head on straight. I know who I am and I know who I’m not. My message is to believe. My albums could be about anything but my messages have been to never not ever say never ‘that word’ and believe, not to believe in me but to believe in yourself … I believe in ‘yourself’, and look where that’s gotten me so far …

I’m writing this with a smile on my face, love in my heart, and a burrito in my stomach. Letting you know firsthand how I feel rather than have these stories linger.

I’m a good person with a big heart and average sized feet. And I don’t think I deserve all of this negative press. I’ve worked my ass off to get where I am and my hard work doesn’t stop here. I’m growing up [and] finding myself while having people watch me and criticise me every day. I think I’m doing pretty damn good.

And to those comparing me to Lindsay Lohan look at her 2012 tax statements.
