'And I will be the first one to tell you that standing on that stage, in that costume was one of the most degrading things I felt like I could ever do.'
'I was a bear in Miley Cyrus’ VMA performance and it was my first time doing anything like that…anything where I was being used because of my height, not because of my talent,' wrote the 24-year-old actress/dancer.
Jane stated that she was asked to join the soon-to-be-announced Bangerz world tour, but declined.
'I wondered if it was worth feeling less than human again. And frankly, it wasn't,' she explained.
