      She has had “scandals” but it’s mainly people coming up with random stuff to hate her for; being hyper sexual, “having a sugar daddy” and lying about it, her fast fashion collab with meshki. People are just bored and jealous I guess.

      Like people say "if you tell the truth then you don't have to think up story's " I love how 100% authentic she is, also she should definitely play a characters voice in a cartoon or something!! 😆

    • @CelineStudywithme

      She had a scandal because she collaborated with Shein (Fast Fashion Brand). Many people complained that she just cared about the money and not the environment. She is honest, yes, because it is all about money for her, and it always has been, and she is honest about that. This is not me hating on Amber, I mean, who would not take a lucrative deal like this, but yeah, she is not scandal-free.

    The thing that I admire the most in Amber is the way she made her dream life into a reality. She seems genuinely happy. She teaches us to run towards our dreams like the floor is on fire. She stays humble and is always real in her videos. That's what's attracting people to her. She teaches us to go for our dreams doesn't matter how crazy it may sound. Her success story gives us hope.

    Amber is the definition of true feminism and the power of women without ever sliding down the toxicity side or degrading the opposite sex. She is showing the weapons of a woman without manipulating men or people, she is touching the deepest parts of human soul and inspiring people to give a chance to their passion.

    I'm 66 and have been watching Amber since her first video was suggested many years ago. She reminds me of myself at her age and it thrills me to see a young woman grow and change into the wonderful woman she has become. In reading the comments others leave for her, anyone can see she is inspiring to so many. She has her head together and I wish for her the best. Thank you for interviewing her and showing Forbes support for women. Well done.

    Acting and music and the arts in general were not taken seriously at first and still aren't in some countries. So of course UA-cam would not be taken seriously right away.

    What I love about Amber is like she said, she's genuine & authentic. She was determined to make it, and look here she is getting interviewed for Forbes. Amber is a shinning example of feminine power at its most potent.
    You gotta be at least a little delusional, no plan b's if you truly believe in yourself and your vision. Her story resonates so deep within myself because I'm on a similar path myself, with similar ideology. Being on Forbes richest self made woman cover is an absolute *dream* of mine, & to see her put this on her dream board and it become reality is the pinochle of success, doing what you love no matter how many people tell you you're crazy. *just do it.* failing is only a small critical part of success, cause if you fail you get back up and try again. Blessings to all the young ladies (& gents) out here in the comments pursuing their dreams, may the universe conspire in your favor ✨
