“You know what, two reasons I said that,” she explained. “A, for shock value. B, because I’m at a place in my life where, I don’t know. I have zero judgment. Do you think I would ever get a tattoo before? So I was like, ‘Who am I to say? I don’t know!’ I’m not judging anything. Like, who knows? Whatever!”
The reality star shared her plans to wipe “everything clean” and start from “scratch of my own beliefs.”
“And I’m just a lot more open-minded about a lot of things across the board,” she added.

On herAmazon Livesession on Tuesday, Kyle admitted she’s felt guilty about the attention she’s thrust onto the country singer.
“She’s an artist, you know? She just wants to make music and all of a sudden she was thrust into this like, world of gossip and tabloids and traveling and having paparazzi take pictures of her,” she explained. “She just doesn’t like any of that."

According to Kyle, the “Fall In Love With Me” singer hasn’t liked being the subject of “attention” or “talked about” in tabloids,
“She just wants to make music and all of a sudden I had a lot of guilt, you know, that I put her in this position,” she continued, sharing how the sudden public interest has triggered her anxiety.
Though Morgan assures the reality star the attention is “not your fault,” Kyle confessed she still feels “bad” for the part she’s played.
“Of course I feel bad because it gave her anxiety, you know? Seeing these headlines, and like I said, just thrust into the spotlight brought her anxiety,” she added. “Like myself, she suffers from anxiety, so I felt terrible to have put her in that position.”
