“Here’s what I have always said to young girls and I maintain it. Never ever give your body to a man for money. You’re worth more than that…
“I’ve always said sex should only happen when you find yourself in relationship with someone you love and who loves you back.
“I was 100% celibate until I was ready to share life with someone and I met the man of my dreams,” she wrote.
She also wrote that she preached celibacy a lot of times but never told young girls not to have sex before marriage.
