Amber Rose never wanted to be known for her sexuality — but ex Kanye West had different plans.
During Thursday’s episode of “Just B with Bethenny Frankel,” the model claimed the “Heartless” rapper pushed her to dress sexier after their tumultuous relationship began in 2008.
“I am conservative actually,” the 40-year-old said. “I have always been conservative since I was young.”
However, Rose said she was turned into “this sexpot type of girl” once she rose to fame while dating West, 46.
“That was my first relationship with a celebrity ever but also in the public eye,” she explained. “And he knows a lot about fashion and he always wanted me to dress very sexy.”
The model explained that she was “young” and impressionable and went along with it despite knowing it wasn’t a reflection of her true self.
Even after she and the controversial rapper split in 2010, Rose said she couldn’t shake her “sexy” image and felt “pigeonholed” into one category.
“So when I was out on my own — without my first relationship that kind of brought me to the light — that’s what they wanted from me.”
And when Rose tried “to go against the grain,” she detailed that she was often met with backlash.
“I would have producers saying, ‘We want to do this video for MTV and we want you at the pool, with a bikini on, martini in your hand.’ And I’m like, ‘Ugh, I’m so not her.’ Like I’m so not her and I get what I come off as but I am so not her.’”
“And they’re like, ‘Well I guess you don’t want to do it then.’”
