Speaking to Variety, Jamie expressed that despite being a public figure, she doesn’t feel the need to be cautious, stating, “If I was careful, I wouldn’t have told you any of what I just told you.”<\/p>\n
She went on to say, “I would have just said, ‘Hi, welcome. I baked you banana bread.<\/p>\n
“Here’s my dog. Here’s my house, blah, blah, blah. What do you want to know?’ I can’t not be who I am in the moment I am.”<\/p>\n
Jamie Lee’s recent interview with Variety came shortly after she spoke about Charlie’s death during her appearance on the WTF podcast in September.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
