She replied: “I have consent – it’s a live body.”
‘Shocking’
Ede told newspaper The Sun that she was ‘shocked’ by the exchange.
She added: “Vegans can engage in oral sex, it’s not non-vegan.
“If you’re going to make that argument, you need to do some research. It was kind of humorous but also kind of shocking. I considered him a close friend and trusted him.
“I had to block him after this. He had no respect for my opinion, so why should I respect his?”
