Speaker 1: Real Housewives Franchise to The Bachelor or Selling Sunset, in
0:27
Speaker 1: addition to celebrity guests, whether in the unscripted space or
0:31
Speaker 1: scripted as well. One thing about Courtney Parker and I
0:40
Speaker 1: as co hosts of Reality Crime Stories is the fact
0:45
Speaker 1: that things happen every single day and as two journalists, Hey, Portsiche,
0:54
Speaker 1: We're like, we have to talk about the goings and
0:58
Speaker 1: the comings everything that has been occurring. So Courtney Parker,
1:04
Speaker 1: are you ready to talk about the madness that seems
1:08
Speaker 1: to be never ending with a mystical body eye.
1:11
Speaker 2: Listen, It's going to end with reconciliation. This is my prediction.
1:17
Speaker 1: Think So okay, you go, girl, you go.
1:21
Speaker 3: Okay, reconciliation.
1:23
Speaker 2: They are just gearing up for you to produce their

1:44
Speaker 2: thought it was over with Simon and Portia, Simon says
1:48
Speaker 2: he's about to sue so And for a five hundred
1:54
Speaker 2: k for comments that. Yeah, he's my prediction, rain Drops,
2:02
Speaker 2: support me, help me out. I think this is the
2:07
Speaker 2: a deal storyline for a reconciliation relationship.
2:12
Speaker 3: I could be delusional, but I don't think so. It's
2:15
Speaker 3: too calculated.
2:18
Speaker 1: I think you are being the Lulu like Drew so
2:21
Speaker 1: Dura's song or her album I Did It to Me. Okay, So,
2:26
Speaker 1: rain Drops. This is the first live episode of Reality
2:34
Speaker 1: Crime Stories. As you know, for the past couple of weeks,
2:39
Speaker 1: we are tapping into the true crime space as it
2:43
Speaker 1: relates to reality stars. I got my guest co host.
2:46
Speaker 1: When I guess to the co host, excuse me. I
2:48
Speaker 1: got my co host, Courtney Parker, who is not only
2:53
Speaker 1: an executive producer, she and I work together on The
2:55
Speaker 1: Hollywood Divas the next fifteen. She also is a true
3:00
Speaker 1: crime expert because her tutelage includes working on Law and Order.
3:05
Speaker 1: And you know one thing about black folks, we love
3:07
Speaker 1: Law and Order. We watch it every day, especially on
3:11
Speaker 1: the weekends. She has worked under Dick Wolf the Legend.
3:15
Speaker 1: She also worked on Fatal Traction, which is my favorite
3:19
Speaker 1: TV one series as well including Oxygen Snap. So Courtney
3:23
Speaker 1: Parker is the perfect co host for this show because
3:28
Speaker 1: she knows not only the ins and outs of being
3:32
Speaker 1: a reality executive producer, she also knows the ins and
3:36
Speaker 1: outs of true crime and the legal jargon that really
3:41
Speaker 1: has us understanding the legal language in this space. So
3:46
Speaker 1: with that being said, we got Ty Campbell. Okay, so
3:50
Speaker 1: Ty Campbell is asking who is suing who, So let's
3:55
Speaker 1: get right into it. Simon is apparently suing Portie for defamation.
4:01
Speaker 1: So rain drops, this news just occurred late last night
4:07
Speaker 1: where Porsche's X Now it's official her ex husband, Simon
4:13
Speaker 1: Gubadia is demanding five hundred thousand dollars judgment over erectile
4:20
Speaker 1: dysfunction posts. So rain Drops, this is what's going on.
4:25
Speaker 1: Last year, Okay, because you know, we'd like to do
4:28
Speaker 1: our research. Last year, Porsche made a post where it
4:35
Speaker 1: was a black screen and it had ed. Okay, and
4:38
Speaker 1: I'm being very honest and Courtney, we're gonna go line
4:43
Speaker 1: by line when it comes to what happened in the
4:45
Speaker 1: series of evanced chronologically. Okay, So let's do that late?
4:53
Speaker 1: I mean sometime last year, Porsche posted ed okay, just Ed,
5:00
Speaker 1: so rain drops, I've been honest here, Ed is Ed?
5:06
Speaker 1: So I thought to myself, is she calling somebody mister Ed?
5:11
Speaker 1: Is she saying somebody looks like a horse? Is she
5:14
Speaker 1: saying she's a stallion? Like Meghan? Like, are we riding donkeys?
5:19
Speaker 1: Mechanical bulls?
5:21
Speaker 2: Like?
5:21
Speaker 1: What's going on? True story? That was my first reaction.
5:24
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't get it. Who is Ed? Is it?
5:27
Speaker 1: Ed McMahon, like, what's going on? Right? So then Courtney,
5:32
Speaker 1: I'm at luck with my homegirls. And my homegirls were like,
5:36
Speaker 1: you saw a Porsche posted and I said, yeah, Like
5:39
Speaker 1: who's mister d Right? Look, lady Roe is saying Carlos, Carlos, Carlos.
5:46
Speaker 1: I beg honest, right, Nah, I beg honest. I'm like,
5:51
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means? Right? Yes, rest in peace?
5:54
Speaker 1: Ad mcmad. Okay, So my homegirl said, I think Carlo
6:00
Speaker 1: is a rectile dysfunction. I said, you think so? Like
6:04
Speaker 1: if the words a portion? Who said who said that?
6:07
Speaker 1: Who said that? I ain't say that? So then Courtney,
6:12
Speaker 1: after that occurred because I can't wait to Courtney's reaction
6:15
Speaker 1: to this. Simon posted afterwards, the next narrative has arrived
6:24
Speaker 1: erectile dysfunction in parenthesis ed hashtag white for the streets.
6:31
Speaker 1: So I said, huh, he's saying erectile dysfunction. She did
6:37
Speaker 1: not say that. He also said Courtney. The narrative changed
6:42
Speaker 1: from imminent deportation and clean the country to Dubai to
6:48
Speaker 1: broke and selling luxury cars. Waiting for next narrative hashtag
6:56
Speaker 1: story keeps changing Courtney one more and I want to
6:58
Speaker 1: get your thoughts on it. Porsche then and her stories
7:04
Speaker 1: posted hashtag men's health awareness. Things you can do to
7:11
Speaker 1: help with erectile dysfunction Number one. Lose weight if you're overweight,
7:18
Speaker 1: Number two, stop smoking number three, eat a healthy diet
7:25
Speaker 1: number four, exercise daily. Number five. Try to reduce stress
7:31
Speaker 1: and anxiety. Try to reduce stress and anxiety. And Porsche,
7:36
Speaker 1: who's a journalist, citing her sources with ww dot NHS
7:43
Speaker 1: dot UK, which are the conditions of erectile dysfunction impotence.
7:50
Speaker 1: Last thing that was posted was Simon saying, if I
7:53
Speaker 1: didn't allow witches in my life, my angel would not
7:57
Speaker 1: have to work so hard. So Courtney, I want you
8:02
Speaker 1: to tell me your thoughts when you saw that ed
8:08
Speaker 1: where you like me it was sticking horses or did
8:11
Speaker 1: you immediately know what it was about?
8:13
Speaker 3: Immediately? I knew what she was talking about.
8:17
Speaker 2: And listen to take us. Everybody knows the sub a
8:24
Speaker 2: good sub when you see one, and this was no different.
8:29
Speaker 2: That's why I'm like ED is erectile dysfunction. And it's
8:34
Speaker 2: at a time where they were throwing shots at each other.
8:37
Speaker 2: So they were back and forth and back and forth
8:39
Speaker 2: and back and forth. So for her to just put
8:42
Speaker 2: simple ed, he knew what was coming, and she knew
8:48
Speaker 2: what she was doing.
8:49
Speaker 3: She knew what she was doing. Drink beat I'm.
8:52
Speaker 1: Sorry, Wait a second, Wait a second, wait a second.
8:57
Speaker 1: If the mark of carlos keg, let's have a real conference.
9:00
Speaker 1: So d Leanly McDonald said, drink beat juice. Now, I
9:06
Speaker 1: are you? Are you saying the lean lean if? I
9:09
Speaker 1: got your name right, child, that drinking beat juice helps
9:14
Speaker 1: with erectile dysfunction. Cordy, I don't know eithing about that hoodey,
9:19
Speaker 1: I'm I'm good underneath my hood? So is that?
9:24
Speaker 3: Yes?
9:24
Speaker 2: No, there are holistic approaches that men can take, which
9:28
Speaker 2: is exactly whise like your rain drops already know Carlos
9:35
Speaker 2: your rain drops though, so I'm so confused as to
9:38
Speaker 2: how you did not know and portion knew exactly what
9:42
Speaker 2: she was doing by simply black screen ed.
9:46
Speaker 3: He knew.
9:47
Speaker 2: That's why he was like, Okay, here's the narrative we're
9:49
Speaker 2: on then for her to post mental health awareness, going
9:55
Speaker 2: into a webed WebMD page breaking down specifically what.
10:03
Speaker 3: Beaten mark. I love your rain drops, like.
10:07
Speaker 1: The rain are the best in the business. This is
10:10
Speaker 1: no cap no shay, I love everybody, nobody, nobody to
10:14
Speaker 1: be It's more in tune, funnier, educated, well versed gangs.
10:21
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Cortney, go ahead, baby.
10:24
Speaker 3: But yeah, like we we knew what she was doing. Uh,
10:29
Speaker 3: he knew. The sad reality is how he knew. Why
10:36
Speaker 3: he knew.
10:38
Speaker 2: It could be alleged that they had actual experience and
10:41
Speaker 2: this was a private moment that she is now making public.
10:45
Speaker 2: But for her to say it, yes, Portia was throwing subliminals,
10:49
Speaker 2: I agree, Lady Roe. I agree like it was she
10:54
Speaker 2: was throwing subliminals. She was throwing shots, and to do
10:58
Speaker 2: that during the very contentious breakup, that's what she was doing.
11:07
Speaker 1: This is reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King.
11:10
Speaker 1: Let's get back into the show. Okay, So this is
11:14
Speaker 1: the thing Porsche first wrote ed mm hm. Then Simon
11:22
Speaker 1: himself elected to be the first person to add a
11:28
Speaker 1: name on it and say, fully erect how dysfunction? So
11:32
Speaker 1: my question for you is this, he is suing Porsche
11:36
Speaker 1: for five hundred thousand dollars for defamation Courtney. So there's
11:43
Speaker 1: so much to read that let's just get right into it, okay.
11:49
Speaker 1: Simon's lawyer alleged that these posts were intentionally crafted to
11:55
Speaker 1: imply that he suffers from this condition, casting him in
11:59
Speaker 1: a negative and humiliating light. The nature, timing, and contexts
12:07
Speaker 1: of these posts admissed the couple's public separation, led reasonable
12:13
Speaker 1: viewers to infer that her statements were referring to Simon
12:18
Speaker 1: because they were.
12:20
Speaker 3: They were, they were.
12:23
Speaker 2: Now you said something interesting when before like hit dogs
12:29
Speaker 2: holler yeah, and and and again. That can be true. Uh,
12:37
Speaker 2: but she knew exactly what she was doing.
12:40
Speaker 3: Of course, she just said ed.
12:42
Speaker 2: Uh. Simon raised his hands. Yes, but again she was
12:48
Speaker 2: throwing shot. It wasn't like they weren't having exchanges. So
12:53
Speaker 2: we have to look at the intent and the premeditated intent.
12:58
Speaker 2: We're looking at it from a scope of true crime law,
13:03
Speaker 2: legal standing parameters.
13:06
Speaker 3: She did it while exchanging.
13:10
Speaker 2: Remarks about one another, so how would he not assume
13:15
Speaker 2: that ed?
13:16
Speaker 3: And then to go on to say, how do you
13:20
Speaker 3: men deal.
13:20
Speaker 2: With arectile dysfunction? How do they feel when they're experiencing
13:27
Speaker 2: a rectile dysfunction? She didn't list anybody else. She never
13:32
Speaker 2: came out and said, hey, I'm not talking about you.
13:36
Speaker 2: She know exactly what she was doing, and he took
13:39
Speaker 2: the bait explicitly.
13:42
Speaker 1: But I with Mackenzie, I would to say ED stands
13:45
Speaker 1: for anthing divorce. Now look now, look I look, yes,
13:49
Speaker 1: that's what Mackenzie flobbers to use sis. So look, I
13:55
Speaker 1: with Mackenzie, if I write ED did not put a
13:58
Speaker 1: name on it, you all to put a name on it. Now.
14:02
Speaker 1: Portia did add some hot sauce to or some lower
14:04
Speaker 1: seasoning saw by describing erechtob dysfunction, but she still never
14:09
Speaker 1: put a name on it. So, Courtney, in terms of
14:13
Speaker 1: your expertise and all things true crime, is this a
14:21
Speaker 1: crime considering she never said his name first? He did, Yes,
14:28
Speaker 1: they were going through a cycle. But in the sheer
14:31
Speaker 1: definition of the legal case. Does Simon have a case
14:36
Speaker 1: based on this alone?
14:38
Speaker 3: Absolutely? This is defamation.
14:41
Speaker 2: This is defamation, And I was asked about this when
14:46
Speaker 2: we decided to talk about this. I'm gonna use an
14:48
Speaker 2: example of like Mike Tyson, the average person who was
14:53
Speaker 2: not a public figure can't yield words and posts to
14:58
Speaker 2: weaponize against somebody else that is not a public figure.
15:03
Speaker 2: So if I'm just talking to my homegirl nay name,
15:07
Speaker 2: and I'm saying, hey, my soon to be ex husband,
15:11
Speaker 2: because they were still married legally made their divorce was
15:14
Speaker 2: just finally, So when you're making posts and allegations while
15:20
Speaker 2: separating or going through what we now know was a
15:24
Speaker 2: contentious divorce, throwing accusations at that while you're legally married,
15:31
Speaker 2: It's not like they weren't married.
15:33
Speaker 3: They were both public figures.
15:36
Speaker 2: She has and is on a huge platform where her
15:41
Speaker 2: words are scrutinized, her words are taken seriously. Any accusations
15:47
Speaker 2: you make in that public forum against somebody else who
15:51
Speaker 2: is a public figure, that is defamation. One one, If
15:57
Speaker 2: I'm Mike Tyson and I get into a bar brawl
16:00
Speaker 2: with someone, my fists are legal weapons.
16:07
Speaker 3: It has There are not so many people out.
16:10
Speaker 2: Uh there, I'm considered my hands are considered lethal and weapons,
16:17
Speaker 2: and so I can't go into a bar fight as
16:22
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson and do the kind of damage that legally
16:27
Speaker 2: my hands are considered weapons and not be charged with
16:32
Speaker 2: assault with a deadly weapon because he is a professional
16:38
Speaker 2: boxer that has knocked people out, caused severe damage because
16:43
Speaker 2: his his profession allows him to be to use his
16:49
Speaker 2: fist or now weapons. She is weaponizing her words while
16:54
Speaker 2: going through a separation and a divorce. If you're throwing
16:59
Speaker 2: these kind of allegations because you're going through a divorce
17:02
Speaker 2: and a split about even if she didn't say it,
17:06
Speaker 2: it's implied the implications of it being the man she's
17:12
Speaker 2: talking about. The reason she's talking about rectile dysfunction is
17:17
Speaker 2: because of.
17:18
Speaker 3: Her husband or her soon to be ex husband. That's
17:22
Speaker 3: why this has some grounds. That's why this has some standing.
17:26
Speaker 2: I doubt very seriously that this won't be taken seriously.
17:31
Speaker 1: So okay, So in the court documents, I want to
17:41
Speaker 1: say this because again I like to make sure I
17:43
Speaker 1: give all sides to the story and the court document.
17:48
Speaker 1: Simon argued that Portia's posts were presented in a factual
17:52
Speaker 1: manner that implied he had ED and were clearly intended
17:56
Speaker 1: to cast him in a negative and human alligating lights.
18:01
Speaker 1: For the record, For the record, the lawyer did right
18:05
Speaker 1: that Simon, In case you all care, the lawyer did
18:09
Speaker 1: say that Simon does not have ED and has never
18:13
Speaker 1: suffered from or been diagnosed with this condition. They are
18:20
Speaker 1: claiming that Simon suffered emotional distress and personal anguish due
18:26
Speaker 1: to the Instagram post made by his ex wife in
18:30
Speaker 1: the suit, guys, he added by making these claims in
18:35
Speaker 1: a public form Portia ensured their immediate and widespread dissemination,
18:43
Speaker 1: applifying the harm to Simon's credibility and social esteem. So
18:51
Speaker 1: Simon is a legend coortny that these allegations caused him
18:56
Speaker 1: emotional distress and did harm to him personally. Now, with
19:03
Speaker 1: that being said, does that indicate that he feels this
19:07
Speaker 1: is a situation in which it could have prevented him
19:11
Speaker 1: from like dating or because this isn't a business. I mean,
19:18
Speaker 1: let me ask you, is this something that could affect
19:19
Speaker 1: his business? That's what I'm trying to get at.
19:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, because if.
19:26
Speaker 2: His integrity is being attached, here's the thing. Lies are
19:30
Speaker 2: loud and it doesn't matter if it's not the truth,
19:36
Speaker 2: and he can prove through medical documents that he has
19:41
Speaker 2: never suffered. Like. It's getting into his personal business. And
19:44
Speaker 2: when you get into people's personal business, yes, it can
19:48
Speaker 2: affect his professional business as well, because when people should
19:53
Speaker 2: be talking about the merit of who this man is
19:57
Speaker 2: as a businessman, they're now caught up in the fluff
20:01
Speaker 2: of what this rumor is about him. And she did
20:07
Speaker 2: it in such a public way, on a public platform.
20:12
Speaker 2: I could say that it causes him and Simon grief
20:17
Speaker 2: simply of the strength of he doesn't want people talking
20:21
Speaker 2: about something that is not true that attacks his character,
20:25
Speaker 2: his manhood. It's not just about him going after new
20:30
Speaker 2: women or you know, new potential girlfriends or webers. It's
20:35
Speaker 2: about the fact that people are now talking about this
20:38
Speaker 2: him in a derogative way, a derogatory way, and that
20:44
Speaker 2: can interfere with some of his professional relationships and businesses.
20:52
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely.
20:55
Speaker 1: So.
20:55
Speaker 2: The thing is that the pic that follow you, Carlos, think
20:58
Speaker 2: about the rumors that allow you like those grade school rumors. Yeah,
21:03
Speaker 2: if you have that, the locker Top, they're one of
21:08
Speaker 2: my favorite movie, I mean series right now is forever
21:13
Speaker 2: Marl b RockA Kills Forever she did that It was all.
21:18
Speaker 3: Based off of a rumor.
21:20
Speaker 2: When you watch that show, that little girl was assumed.
21:24
Speaker 3: To have sets. That was video we found out and
21:28
Speaker 3: discovered later.
21:29
Speaker 2: Spoiler alert for anybody who hasn't seen the series. It
21:36
Speaker 2: wasn't the extent that we thought it was, but it
21:40
Speaker 2: caused such emotional distress that the little girl had to
21:43
Speaker 2: leave school.
21:45
Speaker 3: All of these things.
21:46
Speaker 2: So imagine if you are a businessman as prominent.
21:51
Speaker 3: As Simon may think he is or portray himself to be.
21:57
Speaker 3: And this is a conversation we don't know. We don't know.
22:02
Speaker 3: I personally have my own.
22:04
Speaker 2: Thoughts because I think all of this is gonna lead
22:06
Speaker 2: them back down the aisle.
22:07
Speaker 3: I said that from the beginning.
22:09
Speaker 1: There is no way of God's green Earth that they
22:13
Speaker 1: are getting lift it. I have a better chance of
22:17
Speaker 1: marrying portion of my crush than that I'm getting back together.
22:20
Speaker 1: I don't see a ray drop. Let me know the chat.
22:25
Speaker 1: There is no way in the world I see this.
22:28
Speaker 1: But tell me why, Courtney Parker, you feel so strongly
22:32
Speaker 1: that well, they will get back together.
22:35
Speaker 2: I feel strongly because I am a story driven person,
22:41
Speaker 2: like true crime is finessed in a way.
22:45
Speaker 3: Crime stories are finessed.
22:47
Speaker 2: In a way that you have a hero, you have
22:49
Speaker 2: a villain, you have a victim, And there the way
22:53
Speaker 2: that this thing is panning out couldn't be. This is
22:58
Speaker 2: when reality TV is not scripted. But you're like, I
23:02
Speaker 2: couldn't have written this any better myself. Like they just
23:06
Speaker 2: got a divorce, she was just awarded a settlement. Like
23:10
Speaker 2: I've never seen two people who claim to not care
23:13
Speaker 2: about each other anymore go at it so passionately over
23:19
Speaker 2: every little thing, because it's easier for Simon to just
23:22
Speaker 2: go away. You're deported, you claim on your Instagram or
23:28
Speaker 2: on your social media that you're living your best life.
23:31
Speaker 3: Why bring this back into the fold.
23:33
Speaker 2: Why she just did her waiting to excel moment in
23:37
Speaker 2: People magazine, Like I've never seen two people who are
23:40
Speaker 2: dying to get away from each other work so hard
23:44
Speaker 2: to maintain a story of them together.
23:48
Speaker 3: Like what are you doing?
23:51
Speaker 2: Just go into your own private corners and lick your
23:54
Speaker 2: bones if you actually have them.
23:57
Speaker 3: I think they have them. I think they're gonna get
23:59
Speaker 3: back together.
24:00
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe, okay, listen, I vehemently disagree with that, but
24:07
Speaker 1: I want to I want to ask you this, Courtney,
24:09
Speaker 1: because again I want to talk about the specifics of
24:14
Speaker 1: what he is saying. Simon's lawyer argued that these posts
24:20
Speaker 1: simply provided information regarding a common condition, and alleged that
24:26
Speaker 1: with portrait using hashtag men's health awareness to draw awareness
24:30
Speaker 1: to the information that may help some of defendants social
24:34
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I want to make
24:37
Speaker 1: I want to retract that and really talk about what
24:40
Speaker 1: this was. Okay, this is how Porsche just lawyer responded,
24:46
Speaker 1: So rain Drops, I'm going to repeat this again. What
24:48
Speaker 1: I'm now about to read to you all is lawyer's
24:53
Speaker 1: response to it. They are demanding that this be thrown
24:58
Speaker 1: out of court. A okay, Porsche's lawyers wrote this in response, Raindrops.
25:05
Speaker 1: None of P's posts referred to any particular individual, let
25:11
Speaker 1: alone Simons. Specifically, Porsche cannot and should not be held
25:17
Speaker 1: liable for sharing information regarding a comic condition that likely
25:23
Speaker 1: plagues many of Porsche's social media followers. For this reason
25:30
Speaker 1: and the reasons detail here in this court should dismiss
25:35
Speaker 1: Simon's complaint in its entirety. Porsia's lawyer argued these posts
25:40
Speaker 1: simply provide information regarding a comic condition. And Porsche even
25:47
Speaker 1: uses Min's help awareness as a hashtag because she wanted
25:51
Speaker 1: to draw awareness to the information that may help some
25:56
Speaker 1: of her social media followers.
26:01
Speaker 3: So here's what she's gonna have to prove. She's gonna
26:04
Speaker 3: have to prove.
26:05
Speaker 2: I mean, if you if you listen to that, just
26:09
Speaker 2: in its entirety, in all sincerity. Why, of course, she
26:15
Speaker 2: is not a doctor, she's not a nurse practitioner. She
26:18
Speaker 2: is nothing in the medical field. She is not an
26:21
Speaker 2: advocate for a rectile dysfunction. She has not expressed within
26:27
Speaker 2: her storyline that her father, her any mail in her
26:33
Speaker 2: life was suffering from this.
26:34
Speaker 3: It's not been a part.
26:35
Speaker 2: So it comes out of the blue while you're separating
26:39
Speaker 2: from your then husband. So, I mean, this sounds really good.
26:44
Speaker 2: All the legal jargon sounds.
26:47
Speaker 3: Amazing, but the reality is this is a shot and
26:52
Speaker 3: it's stuck.
26:53
Speaker 2: It's stuck, like you're you're saying, so produce the receipts,
26:58
Speaker 2: which they all have. Right of somebody coming to you
27:02
Speaker 2: coming to Portia to say, hey, what's your advice on
27:07
Speaker 2: erectile dysfunction?
27:09
Speaker 3: She didn't have ev with pare hands. She knew what
27:13
Speaker 3: she was doing.
27:14
Speaker 2: And so what they'll have to do is prove that
27:18
Speaker 2: her intent for these posts were not malicious, and what
27:23
Speaker 2: he has to do is proved that they were. And
27:27
Speaker 2: I think in this particular case, Simon can prove from
27:32
Speaker 2: the theory the posts that preceded it and the series
27:38
Speaker 2: of posts that came after it, that she was talking
27:41
Speaker 2: and directing these posts towards him. That's going to be
27:47
Speaker 2: the easier thing to do if we're just talking legally.
27:51
Speaker 3: The parameters of this case. It's not.
27:55
Speaker 2: They're going to have to prove intent, and they're going
27:58
Speaker 2: to have to prove Simon's is gonna have to prove harm.
28:02
Speaker 2: So she's saying, I bet you think the song was
28:05
Speaker 2: about you, Joni Mitchell, and it wasn't. She's going to
28:09
Speaker 2: now have to say, well, who was this about? And
28:13
Speaker 2: do you have a history of giving medical advice or
28:16
Speaker 2: support to people who suffer from a reptile dysfunction? Again
28:22
Speaker 2: all providing contexts for Simon's real claim she was talking
28:28
Speaker 2: about me.
28:29
Speaker 3: She was dead wrong. I need five hundred K.
28:33
Speaker 1: So this is the thing, though, a lot of the
28:35
Speaker 1: rain drops in the chat are fired up, and they
28:39
Speaker 1: have tons of commentary rain drops, I see you Happy Friday.
28:46
Speaker 1: He's imagining five hundred thousand dollars, and a lot of
28:49
Speaker 1: the rain Drops who also went to the Law and
28:51
Speaker 1: Order University school as well, they all feel like sign
29:00
Speaker 1: I meant allegedly asking for a five hundred thousand dollars
29:03
Speaker 1: it's because allegedly that's the money he has to pay
29:06
Speaker 1: hard so baby, based on the judgment of their divorce
29:11
Speaker 1: being finalized, do you think that the five hundred thousand
29:14
Speaker 1: dollars is a way of breaking even for the money
29:19
Speaker 1: that he allegedly or once she wants to accumulate the
29:23
Speaker 1: you have to pay her.
29:26
Speaker 2: Maybe again, if he's nothing else, Simon is savvy, like
29:32
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. They I finally talked the one, Hey Carl,
29:37
Speaker 2: let's check, hey Alabama. But even if that is true, again,
29:45
Speaker 2: what what assuming they're paying in legal fees?
29:49
Speaker 3: Is this is really not about the money. This is
29:52
Speaker 3: about to keep the conversation going.
29:54
Speaker 2: Like Portia's got it, Simon's got it.
29:59
Speaker 3: This is not.
30:00
Speaker 2: But in layman terms, five hundred thousand dollars is a lot.
30:05
Speaker 2: Forty K a month is a lot. She makes more
30:07
Speaker 2: than that with Row Housewives. He is a successful businessman,
30:13
Speaker 2: So to me, this is not necessarily about the money.
30:17
Speaker 3: It's about the vindication and it's about the victory. They
30:20
Speaker 3: want to.
30:20
Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on,
30:22
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on. Let's have a conversation, and this is
30:24
Speaker 1: us to us to squirrel friends talking right. Do you
30:31
Speaker 1: honestly think Simon creating this lawsuit of defamation has to
30:40
Speaker 1: do with what he put in the legal document when
30:46
Speaker 1: he filed it to clear his name, or do you
30:50
Speaker 1: think this is another attempt of him trying to get
30:55
Speaker 1: at Poorsha.
30:57
Speaker 2: I think it's personally amongst us friends. I think it's
31:01
Speaker 2: a little bit of both, Like it's almost like a
31:06
Speaker 2: one up of each other. Nobody can deny her people
31:10
Speaker 2: spread was iconic, her recreating waiting to excel behind with
31:18
Speaker 2: the rollers, behind the black car, I mean behind with
31:21
Speaker 2: the planes and all of that was that was Portia's
31:25
Speaker 2: last word. So we could have debt this, debted, this
31:30
Speaker 2: entire conversation of the Porte and Simus.
31:33
Speaker 3: Saga with that moment her crying in.
31:37
Speaker 2: The interview or being tear tearful in the interview, saying
31:41
Speaker 2: I'm just off love for a second, and I don't
31:45
Speaker 2: know how to date and all the things that she
31:47
Speaker 2: alleged was her Mahogany moment for me, and Simon is like,
31:53
Speaker 2: not that, not too fast, because again you've already got
31:57
Speaker 2: me deported.
31:59
Speaker 1: It's a leg allegedly because Porsia for the record, for
32:05
Speaker 1: the record, Porsia has denied any involvement calling eyes.
32:10
Speaker 2: She has so part one of Reality Crime Stories with
32:16
Speaker 2: Carlos King and Courtney we got all into that. So
32:20
Speaker 2: if we believe the alleged and assumptions that she didn't,
32:25
Speaker 2: no matter what he got deported, he got deported. It
32:29
Speaker 2: doesn't hit the same when you're uh sending pictures from Dubai,
32:34
Speaker 2: when you're sending pictures from Africa, it's not the same.
32:39
Speaker 2: So if you're craving the celebrity and you want to
32:43
Speaker 2: literally have the last word, this is his attempt to
32:47
Speaker 2: keep his name in all of our mouths, which he
32:50
Speaker 2: is successfully doing right now.
32:55
Speaker 1: To some things up, rain Drops. What's happening now? Is
32:59
Speaker 1: this okay? Simon is seeking five hundred thousand dollars for
33:06
Speaker 1: this is what Simon's alleging in the court document. So
33:09
Speaker 1: Courtney Parker and rain DOFs listen up. Simon told the
33:15
Speaker 1: court he will be seeking five hundred thousand dollars for
33:21
Speaker 1: lost business opportunities and sponsorships in addition. In addition, he
33:30
Speaker 1: will also be seeking unspecified general damages for harm to
33:36
Speaker 1: his reputation, emotional distress, and humiliation. Now, how this is
33:46
Speaker 1: my I have a question, yep. I'm trying to find
33:54
Speaker 1: the through line and the the the attachment to the
34:04
Speaker 1: allegation of a legend ed and how that can affect
34:08
Speaker 1: your business.
34:11
Speaker 3: Again, it's defamation.
34:13
Speaker 1: What I know, I know, but but but but again
34:18
Speaker 1: again the correlation between a legend ed affecting you at
34:28
Speaker 1: work as you're doing business as sponsorships. Are you able
34:32
Speaker 1: to explain to me how those two can relate to
34:35
Speaker 1: each other?
34:36
Speaker 2: Again, it's it's it's any conversation, it's it's the word
34:41
Speaker 2: defamation in its entirety.
34:45
Speaker 3: Like if I create a narrative.
34:48
Speaker 2: And say Carlos King is impossible to work with, that
34:55
Speaker 2: can be further from the truth, because all of my
34:58
Speaker 2: experiences have been wonderful with you.
35:02
Speaker 3: But if one somebody says.
35:06
Speaker 2: Carlow's King is a tyrant when you're going into other
35:14
Speaker 2: business dealings instead of talking about the merit of who
35:19
Speaker 2: Carlos King is and the plethora of opportunities that you've
35:25
Speaker 2: created for me, myself.
35:28
Speaker 3: Other black people.
35:30
Speaker 2: They're now talking about this one rumored of you being
35:34
Speaker 2: a tyrant or you being difficult. It's it doesn't matter
35:38
Speaker 2: what the term was, it's the intention to drive a narrative,
35:43
Speaker 2: a false one.
35:44
Speaker 3: According to Simon, that is an extraction.
35:48
Speaker 2: So Edie is now on the mouths of everyone, including us.
35:55
Speaker 2: We're talking about Edie erectile dysfunction, and we're assuming and
36:01
Speaker 2: associating ed now with Simon.
36:04
Speaker 1: But if I'm in a business meeting Courtney Courney, if
36:07
Speaker 1: I'm in a business meeting and someone put this on
36:11
Speaker 1: Twitter that the person I'm meeting with has ed this
36:15
Speaker 1: is my opinion, as Carlos King the businessman, whether your
36:20
Speaker 1: performance in the bid room doesn't indicate your performance in
36:24
Speaker 1: the boardroom. And that's the thing that I'm trying to
36:28
Speaker 1: find a correlation, because I understand that if somebody says
36:32
Speaker 1: like you're impossible to work with, your tyrant, your things,
36:35
Speaker 1: you're that. I get all that. I find it I personally,
36:39
Speaker 1: this is my opinion. I'm not a lawyer. I find
36:42
Speaker 1: it hard to correlate the assumption that your performance are lacked.
36:47
Speaker 1: Their up in the bid room has anything to do
36:50
Speaker 1: with your performance in the boardroom.
36:52
Speaker 2: It doesn't, but it's your view now as a distraction
36:56
Speaker 2: because of this divorce takes away some of your professional
37:02
Speaker 2: appeal because I don't want to be in I don't
37:05
Speaker 2: want to do business with someone.
37:07
Speaker 3: That's involved in so much mess. Do you see what
37:10
Speaker 3: I'm saying.
37:11
Speaker 1: So it's about it.
37:13
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter about his performance in the bedroom or his
37:18
Speaker 2: performance on the on the boardroom. She has created a
37:23
Speaker 2: conversation and a narrative that have people talking.
37:26
Speaker 3: So if I go into my.
37:29
Speaker 2: Venture capitalist meeting and I'm looking for an investor and
37:33
Speaker 2: an investor has to even ask me, hey, man, I
37:36
Speaker 2: write about the headline over your defamation case, it's now
37:41
Speaker 2: created a cloud of what people think about me. And
37:47
Speaker 2: he didn't necessarily do it to himself. You gotta think professionally.
37:52
Speaker 3: I don't anybody.
37:53
Speaker 2: It's embarrassing, particularly for a man, when you attack his
37:57
Speaker 2: man hood. So if some who knows nothing about Simon
38:04
Speaker 2: and they're looking at I'm getting ready to get into
38:07
Speaker 2: business with this man, and I google him or I
38:10
Speaker 2: do research on him, this is the thing that's gonna
38:13
Speaker 2: come up A rectile dysfunction, and now I have to
38:17
Speaker 2: sue to prove that my wife at the time, my
38:22
Speaker 2: ex wife now was a reality star, creating a reality
38:27
Speaker 2: TV narrative to keep first storyline, her popularity thriving. She
38:34
Speaker 2: used her public forum to diminish my name in any sense.
38:41
Speaker 3: Whether it's true or not.
38:42
Speaker 2: People are now gonna if someone comes in and says, hey,
38:46
Speaker 2: are you okay? Hey, if they make a joke about
38:50
Speaker 2: him locker room talk, if they make a joke.
38:52
Speaker 3: About him, say uh whatever, whatever, whatever.
38:56
Speaker 2: If he does get into a business agreement and dealings
39:01
Speaker 2: with other women.
39:02
Speaker 3: We don't watch the show, We're.
39:05
Speaker 1: Right putting there saying hm, And that.
39:11
Speaker 2: Could be just enough to make him feel insecure about
39:14
Speaker 2: something that he alleges. It's just not true. So it
39:17
Speaker 2: becomes a distraction, which people in business can say, legally,
39:24
Speaker 2: you you seem like a nice person, but what comes
39:28
Speaker 2: with you these rumors, these antics, this deportation, all of
39:35
Speaker 2: the things that surrounded him while he was married to
39:39
Speaker 2: this very public figure and reality star is now interfering
39:45
Speaker 2: with his business.
39:48
Speaker 1: Hi, Felma, thank you, Thelma.
39:53
Speaker 3: I'm saying all done, go.
40:01
Speaker 1: What you think about my rating jobs? This is why
40:03
Speaker 1: I love somebody?
40:04
Speaker 3: All right?
40:05
Speaker 1: They I think I have the only supporters who read me. John,
40:08
Speaker 1: I'll just be like, okay, no, hey, demogrant Democrat said Carlos,
40:13
Speaker 1: I love you, but open your eyes and a whole
40:15
Speaker 1: Portia constable for something, you know, all the bad things
40:18
Speaker 1: she does, I with courty one hundred percent. Listen. I
40:22
Speaker 1: always hold Portia accountable for things. I'm the one who
40:27
Speaker 1: said she was wrong for me with Ralph. I'm the
40:29
Speaker 1: one who said, you know, when she was with Shamia
40:34
Speaker 1: and with the force and knives. I'm like, that was
40:36
Speaker 1: dismiss Porsche. So I do I do in this particular case, Thelmagrat,
40:40
Speaker 1: Hey baby, how are you happy Friday? Uh? Demo Grat.
40:44
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find the correlation in terms of listen, listen,
40:48
Speaker 1: listen my charlottat Ebony K. Williams. I also attended the
40:54
Speaker 1: Ebony K. Williams School of Law. So, Thelma Grant, all
40:59
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do is fine the correlation between the
41:05
Speaker 1: ed defamation and loss of business. That's it. That's it.
41:09
Speaker 1: And I was honest by saying when I saw the
41:12
Speaker 1: post in the initially I thought mister ed and I
41:16
Speaker 1: thought we were riding horses, stallions and mechanical bulls. But
41:19
Speaker 1: that's just me now, Courtney, this is what another rain
41:25
Speaker 1: Drop said. She did a super CHATV said another Porsche hater.
41:31
Speaker 1: This dude stayed on social media talking about her. So
41:34
Speaker 1: the believes Cordy, you are Porsche hater. There's people in
41:38
Speaker 1: the chat Cordy who believe you are hating on Porsche.
41:41
Speaker 1: And are you on Simon's payroll?
41:43
Speaker 2: I am not, And if I were on Simon's payroll,
41:48
Speaker 2: I would confirm and not deny.
41:50
Speaker 3: If the EV was was real. But I'm not when
41:54
Speaker 3: we're looking at it.
41:55
Speaker 2: That's why I use the analogy of is this case sufficient?
42:00
Speaker 3: Can it be thrown out?
42:01
Speaker 2: And I'm like, people have to understand and they're using
42:05
Speaker 2: their very public forums create an atmosphere to where there
42:12
Speaker 2: are consequences for one's actions. And in this case, I'm
42:17
Speaker 2: ready for the saga of Portia and Simon to end.
42:21
Speaker 2: I personally think she should have had her moment. Not
42:24
Speaker 2: a Portia hater. She should have had her moment and
42:27
Speaker 2: rolled off into the sunset to Brandy or Mary J.
42:31
Speaker 2: Blige music from the original or of Waiting to Excel.
42:36
Speaker 2: That was the knell in the coffin for me. She
42:38
Speaker 2: looked great. It was awesome. But he is not wanting
42:43
Speaker 2: her to win or have the last word, and rightly so,
42:48
Speaker 2: because this stuff really.
42:50
Speaker 3: Did happen to him.
42:52
Speaker 2: Now whether personally believe that this is stuff he should
43:00
Speaker 2: even be talking about. Like I said, this is part
43:02
Speaker 2: four for Carlos and I on the Simon and Portsha saga.
43:06
Speaker 2: This is a story that will never end and I'm
43:08
Speaker 2: here for it. However, does he have a legal case
43:14
Speaker 2: of defamation?
43:16
Speaker 3: He absolutely does.
43:18
Speaker 2: Does she have to be more careful with how she
43:21
Speaker 2: uses her words her platform to throw shade at situations
43:29
Speaker 2: that are real, especially dealing with someone as astute as Simon.
43:36
Speaker 3: Who is just like he's ready. Yeah, she has to
43:40
Speaker 3: just be careful. But legally he has a case.
43:43
Speaker 2: I'll be very surprised if this gets thrown out because
43:47
Speaker 2: he doesn't have to prove how this affected his business.
43:51
Speaker 2: All he has to say is, she said she threw
43:54
Speaker 2: a post. She made a post about me. I feel
43:59
Speaker 2: like it was aimed at me. It was during a
44:03
Speaker 2: time where we were separated. If we're just looking at
44:06
Speaker 2: legal facts, it was at a time when we were separating,
44:10
Speaker 2: and she had been there's proof that they had been
44:13
Speaker 2: going at each other, and now he's like, I don't
44:19
Speaker 2: whether he wants to pay the forty K. And that's
44:22
Speaker 2: the exact amount the five hundred thousand dollars sumbs up to.
44:27
Speaker 2: When it's all said and done, he has a case
44:32
Speaker 2: and she did it, and so she's gonna have to
44:35
Speaker 2: prove the intent behind why she made it.
44:38
Speaker 3: She's gonna have to prove it.
44:39
Speaker 2: Her lawyers made a statement, but now she's gonna have
44:42
Speaker 2: to prove it if this case moves forward, or.
44:46
Speaker 3: She can settle it and just be done.
44:50
Speaker 2: Is only for five hundred k, which is Tiffany, You're
44:53
Speaker 2: absolutely right?
44:54
Speaker 1: Which is what is forty k? Over fifteen months? It's
45:00
Speaker 1: only five k? So listen, Yeah, so rain drops. We
45:05
Speaker 1: will be diving more into this as more materializes, but
45:10
Speaker 1: we have to do this emergency Reality Crime Stories episode.
45:14
