She told Cosmopolitan last year that her seven-year stint as an exotic dancer, starting when she was 18, 'was the best time of my life.
'Oh my god, I had so much fun. I really did,' the short-haired stunner told the magazine. 'All the girls were really cool.
'The guys weren't allowed to touch you. I was never sexually assaulted ... I was young, beautiful, I was onstage, I wasn't really ashamed of my body,' said The How To Be A Bad B**** author.

Rose isn't the first - or event second - former stripper to join the prime-time ABC show in the quest for the mirrorball trophy: Jersey Shore's Michael 'The Situation' Sorrentino competed for the crown in the show's 11th season during the fall of 2010; and former Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes gave it a whirl in the spring of 2014 during the show's 18th season.
Bachelorette star JoJo Fletcher is also rumoured to be joining the cast, as well as Jake T. Austin, 21, from Wizards of Waverly Place and The Fosters.
Simone Biles, the 19-year-old gymnastics gold medalist, told E! that while she had the chance to participate - following in the footsteps of past Olympians such as Lolo Jones, Meryl Davis and Aly Raisman, her schedule is too packed right now.

'I would love to do Dancing with the Stars, but so far we have a three-month tour after [the] Olympics, [but] I'm not sure if I'll have time,' she told the outlet, leaving the door open for a potential future stint on the show.
'I would really love to do it in the spring if that's possible.'
In related news, ABC on Tuesday announced the eight professional dancers who will partner up with the cebebrities for the grueling gauntlet of tangos, sambas and foxtrots. They are: Lindsay Arnold, Sharna Burgess, Artem Chigvintsev, Val Chmerkovskiy, Witney Carson, Allison Holker, Sasha Farber and Gleb Savchenko.
Chmerkovskiy said audiences can expect an 'amazing' season on the strength of 'an incredible cast.'
'It’s a new show,' he said. 'It’s constantly evolving, and we have a nice mix and balance of young kids that are inspired and very motivated to bring out the essence of this generation, but also we have some more classic, conservative dancers from the past as well, so I’m excited.'
The official line-up will be announced live on Good Morning America on August 30, while Dancing With the Stars 23rd season begins September 12 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
