Apple Watts Reveals Shocking Truth About Her 2022 Vehicle Incident
On Thursday, January 23, the YouTube channel Soft White Underbelly shared an in-depth 40-minute interview featuring the reality star. In various clips obtained by The Shade Room, Watts disclosed that she would be revealing a critical detail about her accident, something she had never shared publicly until now.
She recounted that in March 2022, during her visit to Los Angeles, California, she ?ended up getting drunk,? which ultimately led to the unfortunate events that followed.
?I kept this secret because I knew people would judge me,? she expressed, visibly emotional.
Furthermore, she shared that prior to the accident, she had dropped off a passenger and continued driving. Watts claimed that ?everyone knew? she was intoxicated, yet her passengers and others chose not to intervene due to their reluctance to confront her.
??Cause one thing about me, if I?m buzzed and I feel you coming at me funny, I?m gonna go ham on you,? Watts remarked, reflecting on her confrontational nature.
Despite her acknowledgment of her behavior, she expressed disappointment that no one took action to stop her from driving under the influence.
