The actress wrote:

“Y’all ever been so at peace in life you don’t care about nothing? What people say about you, who’s mad at you, who don’t like you, who’s hating on you, who’s not talking to you. That’s pretty much where I’m at right now.

“I love it here.

“Do whatever makes you happy.”

Bimbo’s message has since generated further reactions from her fans and followers on social media.
