"He has sent me multiple nude photos of other celebs, he won't stop with me or them he will just keep going."

"For too long I let a man take advantage of me over and over and I'm f***ing sick of it.

"I am putting this out because it's MY DECISION NOW, YOU DON'T GET TO TAKE YET ANOTHER THING FROM ME.

"I can sleep tonight better [sic] knowing I took my power back. You can't control my life, you never will.

"Here's the photos he's been threatening me with, in other words, here's my boobies.

"So here, f*** you, and the last 24 hours I have been crying instead of celebrating my book while doing my book press."

"Oh yeah, the FBI will be at your house shortly so watch your motherf***ing back."

She captioned the three images: "F*** you and the power you think you have over me. I'm going to write about this in my next book."
