“Of course I did that before the controversy that he had, but somebody was talking to me the other day, ‘How could you do this with Kid?'” she said. “I said, ‘Hey, just because I love you don’t mean I don’t love Kid Rock. Just because I love Kid Rock don’t mean I don’t love you.’ I don’t condemn or criticize. I just accept and love.

You deserve to be innocent until you’re proven guilty. Even when you’re proven guilty, if God can forgive you, so can I. If God can forgive you, we all should forgive one another.
The interview also contains less incendiary back-and-forths about why she has turned down Super Bowl halftime shows, how she got the surviving Beatles together on a song on the album, and her plans to bring her life story to Broadway next year.
