And you feel like, ‘Oh wow, should I not express myself anymore or should I not have this fight that I want to have anymore? … Should I just say, ‘OK’ and let it be? It kind of f—s you up a little bit. »Representatives for Grande and Peterson did not return Fox News Digital’s immediate request for comment.
