The actress insisted that she would not accept declarations of love unless they were backed by financial gifts, describing money as a true measure of commitment.

“You have to give me money. Money is hard to come by,” she wrote, adding that receiving money from a love interest is a stronger expression of affection than words alone.

Some critics argued that equating love with money was unrealistic, while others defended her right to express personal expectations in relationships.
