Several of her fans expressed their surprise over Cole’s mother’s response, and she thanked them for their support, saying that she didn’t understand and “couldn’t imagine” the mindset that would bring her mother to an answer like that.
“And I was crying when I said it. I get to think she feels no pain,” Cole said, later adding, “Can’t imagine a mother sayin that to her child. Idk. Maybe I fully don’t understand her addiction. That sh** hurt tho.”
