Speaking on her own podcast Broad Ideas later that same month, the star shared: "I lost a job this week because of things that were said and then spun in the press and clickbait headlines and whatnot." Gilbert Flores / Getty Images "I basically got a job that I already had pulled from me because I was speaking openly about sex," Rachel said, going on to add that she was "baffled" by the company's decision to cut ties. "A single mom, a woman, lost a job because they were being candid and honest and the subject was sex," she reiterated. "I said it in a joking manner in the interview, like: 'Yeah, I wanna get fucking manhandled.' Basically, it's like, OK, give control or take control in the bedroom, whatever." "Because that specific line was pulled and it made it sound a certain way, I didn't even have a chance to defend myself. I didn't have a chance to speak on it," Rachel went on. "I'm a single mom, like, I need these jobs."Rachel shares a now-10-year-old daughter with her ex, Hayden Christensen. "Everything was set in motion, and I lost the job. It sucks," she concluded, before standing her ground and saying that she maintains that she didn't do anything wrong. "I haven't said anything inappropriate. Choice of language... If I could go back, now knowing I lost a job, maybe I would say it differently. But I still wouldn't not say it."

Michael Bezjian / Getty Images Discussing the incident on the Why Won't You Date Me? podcast, Rachel said: "I definitely felt myself filtering a little after that. Like: 'Oh my god, if I say this, am I gonna lose this job? Am I gonna be judged? Shamed?'" Why Won't You Date Me? / Via youtube.com "Did I want to fight it? Absolutely," she went on. "Look, I can see both sides. When you take something out of context and you read something as a standalone comment, it can come off a certain way, sure. You're talking basically with girlfriends, and you're joking around, and I said something like: 'I like to be manhandled.'" Why Won't You Date Me? / Via youtube.com "Olivia [Allen], who cohosts Bright Ideas with me, her mom's like 83. She was like: 'I like to be manhandled!' You know? Like everyone could relate," Rachel joked. "But because I used that word in whatever context, they just took that out of the conversation. It didn't sound great." Stefanie Keenan / Getty Images "But I think it was a very conservative company, so they weren't comfortable talking about sex at all, in general," Rachel admitted before reiterating: "We were joking around!"
