Pearl took to her Instagram story where she reacted to the backlash that she received after posting her twerking challenge video dance.

“I am busy travelling the world because I deserve that. I am not even gonna go on Twitter because I know I am trending. I wonder when people are going to realise that like for as long as you guys try and police me or my body and me being a mother, for as long as that is happening, I will do what I am doing,” said Pearl. 

“I love my body… I am going to enjoy it and I am going to show it off because wow, I have worked so hard. God did the damn things. I am gorgeous, I really am and I know it. I want to turn 50 and look back at these videos and say [I was hot]. Until then, I hope everybody can find peace, enjoy their day, and be happy so that you can stop worrying about me and my bum,” she added.
