I grew up in a small town, I was the only redhead besides my brother,” she said to Cosmo. She added: “…I was just the strangest kid in this small town, so I got made fun of for that. My brother was throwing stones at me! Now I take it very seriously and want people to know that I am a natural redhead and I am proud of it.
Mad is such a natural beauty, in addition to her hair, her lips, eyelashes, and ass are all real.

“In January of season one, he wrote me a message on Facebook congratulating me on the show. He had auditioned for Jughead. I think we just happened to have mutual friends, so we added each other,” the redhead told Cosmo.
She went on;
“We very rarely kept in touch from January to February, not even that much, and the day I came back from the first season in February, I was bored in LA, believe it or not. I asked myself, “What am I going to do? I got my hair cut, and he texted me, ‘Let’s go to the movies! We hung out and spent every single day I’ve been in L.A. since February”.
But that was not the only thing Petsch told Cosmo about her boyfriend. She also revealed her favorite tattoo of him, namely his beard Simpson on his leg.
“He has a spider behind his ear that I always track with my finger. He has a Medusa on his neck, which is cool. But my favorite is his Bart Simpson on his leg.”
