hit series Euphoria has revealed the nasty abuse she faced online for her enlarged lips.Chloe Cherry was a successful adult performer before she found mainstream success with Euphoria, a fictional US series that follows teenagers as they party and explore their sexuality on the way to adulthood.Chloe features as prostitute Faye in the second series of the programme and soon drew attention for her prominent red lips.And, speaking on the BFFs podcast, the adult performer opened up about her lip filler experiences, admitting that they had attracted criticism from social media trolls.Chloe was asked about previous comments that her lips had been inspired by Bratz dolls, and responded that this was “not necessarily” entirely true.“The reason I got my lips done is that I would just look at myself every day and go, ‘God I look so good with some big lips’,” she explained.“I’ve literally had my lips done like 15 times… Technically I should only have a maximum of having them done like 12 times, but I’ve had them done way more than that.”Chloe explained that the reason for the large number of injections she had received is because the procedure isn’t permanent.“Technically if I stopped getting my lips done from now on, they would eventually just go away and eventually they would be completely natural,” she said.“So that’s why when people were freaking out and were like, ‘oh my God her lips look so bad’, I was like, ‘whatever it’s not a permanent thing."Although benefitting from her transition from porn into the mainstream spotlight when she was signed for season two of Euphoria, Chloe admitted that she had struggled with the intense attention on her appearance.“When the show first came out I cried so much because of the s*** that

This one is so magical and powerful. Proud mama over here."In a statement, Scout described the song as "a love letter to sacred feminine rage".She explained: "This song is an ode to feminine creativity, sexuality and freedom, to the idea that I can be all of it without hiding or withholding any piece of myself."I wrote this song with a near prescient clarity, precisely describing the arc of a relationship I wouldn't enter till months after it was written."Scout also wanted the song to be "big and proud and unapologetic".In the past, the singer Scout revealed that she has shied away from sharing her work but now she is brave enough to do so.She said: "Somewhere between fear and misperception I had this idea that I shouldn't and couldn't pursue music full time."Later though, I realized this was just a very clever way to hide from the deep, unconscious fear I had around sharing myself and my art with the world."This comes after Scout's filmstar father Bruce Willis went public with his aphasia diagnosis.The Die Hard actor is retiring from acting after being diagnosed with a degenerative condition that affects communication and comprehension.She wrote on Instagram: "Papa [heart emoji] Yesterday was so surreal, sharing something so personal.

ex-Stoke City and Millwall star Peter Sweeney.The former midfielder enjoyed an impressive career, making over 346 appearances and being a part of the Millwall side that reached the 2004 FA Cup Final and lost to Manchester United. However, Sweeney’s discipline and commitment to the footballing lifestyle, particularly when he fractured his back while playing for the Potters, was about as steady as a high-octane ride on a banana boat.And the former Scottish international was hilariously caught on a Magaluf banana boat by his own Stoke supporters, when he was supposed to be recovering from a nasty back injury, he suffered on pre-season.“I fractured my back playing in a friendly Stoke did every season against Newcastle Town,” Sweeney said to the Under the Cosh podcast.

Arsenal legend Keown hit the headlines earlier this week after claiming he wouldn't have any Tottenham players in his combined XI, a comment which came back to bite him after the 3-0 victory for Antonio Conte's side on Thursday (May 12).The former defender was asked by talkSPORT host Jim White if he regretted it, to which he replied: "That was me standing up for an Arsenal team going into full cry, into battle at White Hart Lane. Let’s get it on and I’m backing my players."I think everyone knows the quality of Son [Heung-min] and [Harry] Kane and [Dejan] Kulusevski. I wouldn’t have all three of them.
