And I would have continued. I was going to change it every single time when I sent it. And I thought, &#8216;Okay, it&#8217;s spousal support, but he&#8217;s a f&#8211;king leech.&#8217; And so I was like, &#8216;Temporary leech money.&#8217; And I sent it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She claimed her ex wanted the public to turn on her after the memo surfaced, but said the reaction went another way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;He wanted so badly for people, he thought people would hate me for it, would turn on me,&#8221; the reality star explained. &#8220;And he also asked the court to sanction me $5,000 for that.
