It's 24/7 paparazzi outside,» she continued. "[And] the whole social media aspect of it puts a whole different [light] on it.«The proud mom praised her famous fashion model daughters for how they've managed to handle themselves, and explained that she's done what she can to instill important values about respect and consideration.»They are great at what they are doing.

I've always taught them to be the hardest working person they can, and to be the first to show, the last one [to leave]. Be good to everybody on set.

Not just the people that can, you know, make you bigger in the business, but to everybody," she shared. «Be kind, because people don't remember what you look like but they will remember how you make them feel.»Yolanda explained that, even for her daughters, they are doing their best to just live life happily, and that.
