• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I know where I was when JR. Got shot on Dallas.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I know where I was when Beyonce dropped her surprise album.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I know where I was when Kimberle kardash shams on
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the cover of another magazine breaking the Internet bench.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I know where I was with Dave Quinn Creative directed
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: the digital cover that is leaving all of us gagging
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: of Porsche Williams formerly Porsche Garbadia serving Angela Baca Tee
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: waiting to excel character Honey with the cover of People
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Magazine cop this.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Now People Magazine cover.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Star Porsche Williams is ready to exhale. We have to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: talk to the journalist. Hey, Porsche pun attended Dave Quinn Concait, Honey, Carlos,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: So thrilled that this is out and that you love
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: it so much. Thank you so much for your kindness
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: and for having me here. As always my favorite person
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: to talk to.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: You not only have been my favorite person for so
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: many years. What you have done CRUs while you are
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: a pop culture not only enthusia, is but an icon
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: in the journalist world. It we Okay, before we get
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: into the details of the article where Porsche is set free.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: She's finally divorced. There's so much to.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Break down with that, but Honey, bunty pudding Pie, we
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: have to break down and listen. I am somebody who
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: used to work at Kentucky for our chicken, making five
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: dollars and fifty cents an hour, and when my paycheck
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: came every two weeks, Honey, I would save money to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: buy People magazine. So I am somebody that I want
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: this cover in my home day who came up with
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: this idea of having Porsche be Angela Bass's character and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: waiting to ex Hell.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Listen, I say this humbly. This was all my idea.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: But listen, and here's why. Because we're talking to Porsha Williams.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: The concept of the story comes around She's gone through
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: this really difficult divorce. It's her first time that she's
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: going to be able to freely kind of speak about it.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: What do we do visually to capture that? And you know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: decades before Porsche was making names on the Internet, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: decades before it became one of the most infamous memes
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: on the Internet itself, of this iconic meme of female empowerment,
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: waiting to exhale was a cultural reset. You know. The
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: nineteen ninety five film, adapted from Terry McMillan's best selling novel,
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: really gave voice to grief, resilience, self renewal, of black
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: women navigating love and loss on their own terms. It
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: offered this vision of healing, of heartbreak, of self discovery,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: of someone stepping into their own power. And I just
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: thought it was so important that if we were going
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: to look at Porsche as an example of what I
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: consider to be black excellence in reality TV, why not
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: carry her with something else that I really believe in
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: the culture is the ultimate example of black excellence, of empowerment,
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: of strength. So I wanted to frame her in these
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: photos as not someone who was a victim, not someone
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: who was centering herself in the image of a man.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: That was really important to me that she's her own
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: woman and that we're really celebrating where she is at
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: this place in her life, which is she's gone squarest man.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: She has stepped through that fire and she is really
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: now rebirthing herself as a stronger, more powerful woman than
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: ever before.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, the character that Angela Basta play, which is
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Bernadine Harris, is somebody that is infamously known with the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: car blow up scene, with being in the core. So
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: talk to us about the images, because not only did
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you guys recreate the iconic scene where Bernardine Harris, played
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: by Angela Bassett, blew up the from her ex husband,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you guys also did a lot of iconic moments from
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the movie itself. So can you talk us through some
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: of those creative concepts as well.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was funny. We were really thinking full scale here, right.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Originally I was just like, we got to have her
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: with the car scene, mimicking that incredible meme that we
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: all know and love so well, and from there that
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: sort of became the blueprint to what else can we do?
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: To make it make sense and to sort of fill
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: it all out. So we did that scene where Brendadette's
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: in the mirror, she's sort of brushing her hair and
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: her husband comes in to tell her that he's leaving her,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: and that sort of she has that moment of realization
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: that it's all over. We did that scene. We did
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: the scene in the courtroom where she sort of has
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: her victory and has her justice, and it was great.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, we built all of this in a beautiful
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: house in Atlanta, all of these incredible sets. The courtroom
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: was built in like the corner of someone's living room essentially,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: and with porschaucked in and saw it, she said, I
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: need a core room in my house. Like it was hilarious.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: And we also wanted to color that with other scenes
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: that we believe were sort of mimicking the experience that
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Porch has been going through in her own life. So
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: we built a scene that was really about her, you know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: her empowerment in business, her owning Go Naked Hair, shout
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: out Go Naked Hair, her pampered by Porsche, her pursuit
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: of Porsche book, and sort of how she's focused on
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: business and that's really done that and also how she's
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: juggling all this as a mom. We got Polar on
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: set and really did a great shot with Poar and
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: I have to tell you, Carlos, of all the divas
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: in the room that day, myself included, Polar was the one.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Oh really, what was the giving she came with?
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: She came with a writer. She said, I want donuts
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: when I'm done, and there were donuts available for her
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: when she was nothing. She knew what she wanted and
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: she was such a joy. It was really fun to
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: see Portrait in that motherhood moment and she's the sweetest girl.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: She's so so so. Yeah, we got to kind of
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: do it all, but it was really fun, and afterwards
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Portrait said something. We sat down for our interview afterwards
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: and talked for an hour, and she said, y'all really
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: took me through it, like you took me through mimicking
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: all of these setups for waiting to exhale really allowed
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: her to process what she's been going through for the
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: past year in the span of a day.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Child, We are just getting started. This is reality with
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the King, and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: So let's get into that.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Because for a housewive to get the cover story of
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the prestigious people Mad magazine. Like I said, I grew
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: up on this magazine. Everybody from Jennifer Aniston to Halle
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Berry to Beyonce has graced the cover of this magazine.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: So to have Portia Williams do that, I know the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: article itself must be juicy. So what sort of tidbits
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: did she give you day that we are looking forward
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to reading in this issue.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Well, what I was really excited about when we built
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: this digital cover is it gives a lot of freedom.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: You know, print covers are sort of sometimes limited by space,
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: but we had so much room here to sort of
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: grow and tell a full story. And we really talked
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: about how she feels about this divorce, what got her
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: to the point where she felt she needed to say goodbye.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: And it was interesting because a lot of what she
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: said she couldn't say on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: She talked about the fact that filming this season because
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: they were still going through proceedings, because she wasn't filming
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: in her home because he was slapping her with defamation suits,
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: and you know, they were in the midst of this
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: really contentious divorce, there was a lot that she couldn't
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: talk about, and now she really spills, She really lets
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: it out. What was it that made her want to
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: get out of this marriage? That from? I mean you
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: and I I remember where we were. Also, when Portia
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: announced that she was getting divorced, it was a shock
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: to all of us because this looked like the happiest
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: marriage of all time. So yeah, it really allowed her
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: the space to talk.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Did she talk to you?
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Because I do remember where we were when the divorce
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: was announced And obviously Dave Kremp broke that exclusive too,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, dam.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: It was going on here girl, Like what's happening?
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: But what did Portia tell you about what led up
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to the moment of her deciding to file? Because it
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: was something she thought about for months or weeks or
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: was it for days before she filed.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: It really feels like this was something that she had
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: seen signs of and decided I have to go. She
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: knew when it was time to pull the trigger. She
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: talks about Valentine's Day then having an argument and seeing
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: a look on his face where she just knew it
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: was done. You know, I asked her, how do you
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: see the red flags? And she laughed, She's like, you're
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: asking me, like, I don't see the red flags. I
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: see you know, I always joke red flags in the
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: shape of hearts, right, and she but she's learned through
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: the experience she had with Cordel, through other experiences, that
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: she needed to sort of take control. She talks about
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: how she was blindsided by the Cordel divorce, but in
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: this case, she was not going to be blindsided. She
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: was going to step into her power and make those
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: decisions for herself, and she really protected herself along the
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: way to do those things.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I do want to get No, no, no, it's.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: It's a very different Porsche than we've seen before, is
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: what I was gonna say.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: No, And I was gonna say that as well.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: In the sense of what we saw what she went
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: through during season six, and I was the showrunner for
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: that season, we saw the steps in terms of what
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: she did not do when she decided to marry Cordell.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: She did sign a prenup.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: She pretty much, for all autism purposes, had no rights
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: essentially during that marriage. This is her second one, and
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: what we have learned is she did have a prenup
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: that sort of worked in her favor. Can you talk
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to us about the new Porsche that was getting married
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: for the second time and some of the smart things
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: she decided to do this go around.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that prenup is the smartest thing she decided to
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: do this go around, made sure that she was legally
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: where she needed to be, and that preenop is ultimately
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: what got en forced. You know, the ruling that was
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: decided on by the judge just on June eleventh, so
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: very recently sided in her favor. And it's because of
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: that that she gets to keep the house. It's because
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: of that that she gets to sort of be in
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: a place of peace with a lot of the contentious
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: things that Simon's been going after her over. I also
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: think that the thing that she did differently this time
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: around is she's still grieving right now. She's very upset,
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: but she seems to have found a way to separate
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: her mind from her emotion. She made choices that were
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: not driven by emotion, but by driven by protecting herself
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: and being very clear headed about that. And it's only
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: now talking to her that she's really grieving a lot
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: of the things that are, you know, are the natural
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: feelings that one gets at the loss of a relationship,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: you know. She says to me that she's really not
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: ready yet to date other men, that people try to
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: set her up and she just doesn't feel like she's there.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: She doesn't feel like she can trust men again right now.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: She says that she's really focusing on giving all that
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: love that she gives to men that she loves giving
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: in a relationship. She loves being the protector, the provider,
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: the one who's going to cook your favorite meal, who's
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: going to address you right, who's going to take care
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: of you. She loves doing that, and she's now focusing
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: that on herself, which I've been candid with you. It's
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: been two years since I've been single and I'm still
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: learning to do that. So to hear her talk about
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: it was really inspiring to me to remind myself that
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: we all need to be doing that for ourselves. But Carlos, ultimately,
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: I think the thing that you find about Portia is
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: that she recognizes that this season on Housewives, she wasn't herself.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: She was like, I went through that was the biggest
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: shell for me. But she went through this season as
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: a shell of a person. She says, She's like, I
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: would go to work and just I don't even know
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: who that person is. She watches the show and she
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: has no concept for sort of how she was acting
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: or what she was feeling. And it gives a lot
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: of context in my perspective to the ongoing conflict she's
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: having with Shemiah, because I feel as though Shmiah is
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: a person who was very present and Porsha just was not.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: We all interpreted. I think a lot of the fans
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: have interpreted as jealousy or as you know, feeling a
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: certain way about holding the center peach and things like that,
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: and how the season was going. I think that Porsha
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: was just lost. I think she was just from what
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: she says in the midst of hell and was clocking
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: into work, going through the motions.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Which is so interesting to me because what we're seeing
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: this season on the show is a woman who decided
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to return back to the show after three year hiatus,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and she said yes to returning while she was married
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and supposedly, just based on what we have seen, was
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: in a good place at her marriage. Again, on all
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the details, did she explained to you if she had
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: any regrets coming back to the show, because when she
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: came back, she thought she would be coming back as
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: a married woman.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, we talked, Actually, we honestly talked a
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: little bit candidly behind the scenes about it. Wasn't necessarily
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: part of my focus for the interview because I was
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: much more interested in her reclaiming herself as as a
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: woman after this sort of emotional loss than it was
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: about her return to the show. But she very candidly said, remember,
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: I was coming back to the show as Portia Gubadia.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Porsha Williams wasn't coming back. It was Porsia Gubadia. That's
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: how she announced it, and then it wasn't. I think
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: that she's in a place now from our conversations where
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: she's really excited to go back to filming and do
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: it again because she's sort of gotten now the the
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: ability to take a deep breath. I didn't realize until
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: she really explained it to me how difficult it was
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: to film an entire season not being in your house.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: And we've seen other housewives do this before, you know,
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: we've seen plenty of housewives not film at their home.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: But the fact that she wasn't allowed to. She didn't
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: really have that center thing holding her to the ground,
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: so she felt like she wasn't able to really show
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: who she was.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Which makes a lot of sense because everybody's home is
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: their sanctuary, it's your safe space. So the fact that
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't think about that as well, where
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: you're not even able to be in your safe haven
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: doing the job that you love, but also a job
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: that is intense because you have to talk about uncomfortable things.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize that until you said today. That is
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: another sort of like mind fuck when you're shooting a
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: reality show and the reality is I cannot film in
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: my house. So one thing we do know is she
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: her divorce is final. She did get award a lot
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: of things in her prenuptial agreement. She said to you,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: she's not yet there in terms of dating. She's figured
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: things out. You have covered Porsia since the inception of
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: her on the show season five. What was your takeaway
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: based on this interview and you being around her. Do
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: you feel like Porscha is the black j Lo, the
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: black list Taylor to where she's not ready today but
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: she's a hopeless romantic or do you think Porsche is
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: somebody who is relearning who she is, and there's a
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: more stronger version of Porsche in the sense of dealing
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: with the aftermath of this divorce that we will see
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: next season on Housewives.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Honestly, Carlos, I think both. I'm not going to put
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: that label on her, I'll tell I'll say that I
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: think that she's the Jennifer Lopeze Bravo because she does
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: sort of have like that fullhearted, like hopeless, romantic, wants
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: to be in love thing, and that's still inside of her.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: I did ask her if she's getting married again, and
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: she's like, yeah, I would do it. You know, she's
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: not closed that she wants to be a wife again.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: So that's very much still a part of who Portia is,
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: and that, in that sense, lies I think with j Loo.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, the thing I love the most about her
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: is that she loves so deeply and so hardly. You know,
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: she goes all in on her things. But I do
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: think there's a lot of strength and wisdom that she's
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: going beamed. Just like you said, she's elevating herself in
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: a way, she's really learning from it because she could
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: have been sitting there saying, f this, dude, I'm out
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: of here, you know what I mean, Like I deserve better,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: I'm dating this guy. I'm dating that guy. But that's
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: not what she was saying. I mean, she was really saying,
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I took stock. What did I do to cause this?
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: What role did I play in the end of this?
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: How do I make better choices going forward? How can
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: I learn to love myself right now so I can
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: give to somebody and not give all of myself and
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: giving different ways. I mean, this was stuff that was
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: very different than I think we've seen before from her.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: And even at the end of the chat was she
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: tried a lot. I messed those make I folded her
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: a canvas stiller, bass at, crying goal, patitant, but made
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: sure that she got what she needed. But no, I mean,
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: she really opened up a lot, and she said after
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: the end that she was glad that the interview wasn't
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: about saying mean things about another person, that it was
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: about really owning who she is. And in that moment,
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: I was really proud of that myself. I just think
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: you know this from working with her. Portia is somebody
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: who has this amazing charisma and she has the ability.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: When she is in a good mood, everybody is in
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: a good mood. She is so kind and loving and
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: warm and fun and funny. But when she's hurting, you
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: all feel that too. She can really dictate the temperature
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: of her room, and it was great to have her
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: in a place where I think she felt safe and
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: comfortable to both be open and emotional and still have
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: fun with it. She brought champagne for the entire crew.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: I've never seen anybody in my years and years and years.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: In the business, I've never seen a single celebrity end
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: the day by celebrating everyone there with a toast.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: That says a lot for who she is. Yeah, it
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: really does. And listen, it says a lot for who
• 20:45
