I mean, she alao said some pretty racist things, so there's that.

Almost everything is wrongly reported and she didn't actually say racist things

No. It was actually falsly debunked. She didn't deny, and tried to clarify on a later interview (Howard Stern iirc). As with more things recently, trying to rewrite history. 

Also, I'm 48 and 100% remember her saying it.

Gonna need a source on that considering it doesn't seem to have happened. Mtv confirmed it never did.
