She urged Peller to learn more about women’s bodies before making uninformed remarks, cautioning against spreading misinformation.
She underscored the importance of education, science, and respect for women’s anatomy
The Sugar Mummy as she is called at times by her fans encouraged Peller to read about women’s reproductive health and appreciate the role of science in enabling women to make informed choices about their body.
She said: “Are you educated at all? Are you in tune with science? Do you know about freezing your eggs? You sound like an illiterate and I need to educate you.
” You don’t just open your mouth and talk about women stuff like that. There’s something called time, there’s something called not just having kids when you’re not ready.
“You have to have kids when you’re ready so you can spend time with them. It’s not just money; it’s not just to get a nanny for them to be at home. They have to feel loved so when I’m ready. Don’t worry about the 40 and 45-year-old women, there’s something called science.
