When a woman has boundaries, I think people freak out. Men can do violent criminal things and people applaud them, but when a woman says, \u2018Stop following me,\u2019 it\u2019s controversial? It\u2019s like: you guys just hate women, actually.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I kind of thrive on attention in all forms,\u201d she added. \u201cWhen I was younger, I was like: \u2018Oh, I can\u2019t wait till I have paparazzi outside my house.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zara said that she relates with Addison Rae because they both have turned attention into an art.
