Lilly is from an Indian household, it's no different tbh. But she's been famous for a long time, and the independence that comes with that probably helped her.

[@bluecapeprincestudios3446]

Well actually... Arabs used to have LGBT culture as part of their society, but then generational attitudes changed with the law when Abrahamic religion colonised that part of the world, then every other part of the world... but yea

Oh my what?! SHE. DOES. 😅

[@maxwellbarrays7281]

OMG Totally true

[@keziahjose5906]

I also lived in a closet as well. We didn’t have enough rooms in our house. Me and my sister shared a room until I was 10 because by then my sister was already in 10th grade. My older sister got to keep that room and I was kicked out, she didn’t want to share the room with me because we had too much of an age gap, but I understood where she was coming from, so I didn’t complain. The only “room” that was left was the closet in the master bedroom, my parents bought a mattress (without the actual bed) and put it on the floor and I slept in there for 7 years until my sister got married and moved out, now I’m sleeping in my own room, I finally got a real room at the age of 17 lol.

[@elevenjane6094]

Lol I legit thought that my video settings were in 2* speed when Madeline started talking

It's bad that she's asking Mena about his living situation and asking Madeline about her jobs cause Mena was taking about not having auditioned. It feels like it's made to make Mena feel small.
