Bailey stated becoming part of a mainly Black cast was an emphasize of the job. “I think it’s always so great to have proper representation of what our friends and our peer groups look like,” she gushed, “that also has a positive message that you can relate to as you watch it.”
And while Sam is on the getting end of some shade from the conservative church crowd, Bailey exposed she can relate having actually dealt with criticism over her sultry social networks posts and hot video.
“Because I love god so much, I always talk about him in interviews and some of the feedback I’ll get is, ‘How can you talk about god and be this risqué?'” she discussed. “What people don’t realize is god has made us perfectly in his image and who are we as human beings to judge one another? I know God loves me exactly as I am. And clothes are materialistic, we can’t take clothes or even this human body to heaven with us.”
