"If you have no name and no picture, keep your mouth shut, keep your mouth shut because you don't have no right to come on anybody's profile, anybody's page, anybody's videos and comment when you're not even showing your name or picture."
She added: "Did your mama ever teach you if you didn't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? Because if she didn't, Aunt Tammy will. Believe me, if you were mine, you'd be snatched up, I mean you would be snatched up."
Tammy admitted she was sick of the hate and that she wouldn't wish it on her "worst enemy". She continued: "I'm trying to politely say all this because I'm aggravated, I'm tired of seeing this. Calling me a chicken, saying 'gobble gobble turkey neck', whatever. So what, so what I look like Peter Griffin, so what I've got a turkey neck, whatever.
"So what, I worked hard for it. I'm proud of this. I deserve it. I deserve this, not being called names. Nobody deserves to be called names. Not even my worst enemy or other people who want to be children and take things to the internet instead of in person.
