Now it is a little bit less difficult for other folks to come out and share their tales.”

Very last month, Madison solely informed Us Weekly that Crystal’s feelings about a rivalry amongst the women though they filmed Women Next Doorway was “absolutely genuine.” (Crystal wrote in her memoir that a rivalry was created amongst her and Madison for the truth series.)
