While most praised her profession, others said she should start an OnlyFans page, but after putting those requests to rest, some thought she was shading sex workers, according to Cluth Points.
Josephine then posted a video on YouTube clearing up the situation, revealing that she has no problem with sex workers, it is simply just not a profession for her.
“For one, I am a Christian woman and I choose to work a nine-to-five,” she explained in the clip.
“I have no problem with women who do sex work…I never want another woman to feel like I am belittling them…I just personally chose not to do it.”
