If you are a “hater” of Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham, she does not care, as her recent social media post that channels socialite Paris Hilton shows.
Cunningham posted a video on TikTok that uses Hilton's iconic Tomorrowland Festival rant. As she lip-synchs into a juice box, Cunningham moves to different spots around her kitchen.
“This is dedicated to the haters in the front holding signs up saying I”m not playing live, 'cause honey, yes I f*****g am,” Cunningham mouthed. “Sorry I'm a girl, I'm hot, I'm blonde, we can do everything, so put your f*****g sign down, and hate on someone else.”
