No chance she was a “Detective” for 10 years. She has indicated in numerous interviews that she worked for 10 years before leaving to become a DJ. No one immediately makes Detective and it generally takes many years before an officer makes Detective. In another interview, she said she worked in a corporate job for 10 years before becoming a DJ, never mentioning law enforcement. I’m sure she is a talented DJ but seems she is bullshitting her prior work information, even in her recent commercial.
Just be honest and stop making shit up! Seems she really isn’t very proud of her life prior to being a lesbian DJ.
I have to agree with you about her job as a “detective.” I had to do a Google search after seeing the beer commercial numerous times and this is the only story that mentions being a detective. Other publications that interviewed her said she left a corporate job in lab work. Someone seems to be dishonest.
Yea it would be nice to have some clarification on that. Either way, it’s pretty dope that she became a DJ later on and is following her passion.
