“I honestly always loved New York,” she explained at the time. “I want to change. I want to meet new people, I want to explore new restaurants. I needed a shakeup. I felt like being born and raised in Beverly Hills, as much as I built this perfect life for myself, it just kind of got too perfect for me.”

“I think I’m less superficial than I was when I was young,” she added. “It’s not so much about Birkins and cars and this and that there. It’s more about our relationships and wanting to be a good friend to people and just developing real relationships.”
