“Did people at that time reach out to you in your DMs?” host pressed Hudson further.
“Oh yeah,” Hudson said casually. “Look, it’s a great way to meet people, and a great thing to make your ego feel wonderful. Like, ‘Oh, that one snuck in.’ But I had a ton [of DMs] … I like to flirt, which is why I had to go through a year without flirting. Yeah, now it’s done.”
