  Tony Award nominations came out last
• 0:06

• 0:07
  and was not on it. Come on in. Let's

  Show hosted by Deia Avery where some of
• 0:18
  your favorite entertainers, celebs, and
• 0:20
  entrepreneurs come to highlight all of
• 0:23

• 0:30
  Hello, hello, hello everyone. This is
• 0:32
  Demia Avery of the Demia Avery Show.
• 0:35
  Thank you once again for joining me on
• 0:36
  today's entertainment report. We got
• 0:39
  just a little bit to report today, but
• 0:41
  it should be very interesting and make
• 0:43
  sure you guys hit that subscribe button,
• 0:45
  hit that like and share, and we're going
• 0:47
  to get right into it. So yesterday, as
• 0:52
  you know, if you may or may not know,
• 0:54
  they announced the nominations for the
• 0:56
  Tony Awards. And y'all, I am so
• 0:59
  disappointed. I am so disappointed that
• 1:03
  Fellow was not on that list. I could not
• 1:09
  believe I could not believe it. So, I'm
• 1:12
  just going to read you
• 1:14
  um some of what I uh researched about
• 1:19
  it. It says here that um like I reported
• 1:23
  before that the adaptation of
• 1:25
  Shakespearean tragedy sold over 2.8
• 1:28
  million t tickets during its first full
• 1:31
  week and has become the
• 1:33
  highest grossing Broadway play ever. How
• 1:38
  do you do that and still not at least
• 1:41
  get the nomination? I mean, I can see if
• 1:43
  you don't win for whatever the reasons
• 1:45
  are. Maybe another play was just better.
• 1:47
  I don't know. But to not get nominated,
• 1:51
  I don't I guess I don't understand. But
• 1:54
  okay, so um Candy had said, well, y'all
• 2:00
  guess this must have been on her social
• 2:02
  media. She said, Athell didn't get any
• 2:04
  uh didn't get the Tony. Well, I can't
• 2:07
  talk. the Tony nomination. She says of
• 2:10
  course she's disappointed, but she's
• 2:12
  still proud to be a part of the
• 2:14
  phenomenal production. She said every
• 2:16
  time she watches the cast, she's blown
• 2:18
  away and she's inspired. You know what,
• 2:22
  Candy? Thank you for keeping it classy
• 2:24
  cuz you could have been you could have
• 2:27
  went took this a whole different
• 2:28
  direction and made it about something
• 2:31
  else. And I'm glad that she didn't and
• 2:33
  I'm glad that she just, you know, took
• 2:35
  it on the chin and just said, "We did an
• 2:38
  awesome job." So, shout out to Candy and
• 2:42
  her husband, of course, that uh was uh
• 2:46
  the help with the production team. Well,
• 2:48
  was the production team and uh some
• 2:51
  others. And also to all the people that
• 2:54
  were involved. Uh, of course, uh,
• 2:58
  Denzel was the lead on that and Jake
• 3:01
  Goten Hall. So, so sorry about that,
• 3:05
  man. And it it just doesn't make sense
• 3:08
  to me. So, tell me what you guys think
• 3:11
  about it. What's your opinion on the
• 3:13
  whole thing? So, let's get into the
• 3:16
  second story. So, Lizo, so Lizo took to
• 3:20
  her uh Instagram page yesterday, and as
• 3:24
  you guys may know that he launched a
• 3:28
  swimsuit
• 3:30
  uh brand clothing line, and it's called
• 3:33
  I'm going to make sure I say it right,
• 3:34
  Yiddi. Y I
• 3:36
  ty. And she uh did a
• 3:40
  video. Like it. I like it. I love the
• 3:44
  the uh pieces that she has. And speaking
• 3:47
  from a plus-sized woman
• 3:49
  myself, thought it looked good. I
• 3:52
  thought it looked good. I haven't yet
• 3:53
  been bold enough to get into a two-piece
• 3:55
  yet, but she makes me like, "Okay, well,
• 3:58
  she can do that. I can do that." You
• 4:01
  know, but I think she looks good. I
• 4:03
  think she looks good. But as far as the,
• 4:06
  you know, how she looks, I think she
• 4:08
  looks good. But I actually like like the
• 4:11
  pieces that she has on.
• 4:13
  Um, I'mma show some uh pieces
• 4:17
  here so you guys can take a
• 4:22
  look. What do y'all think? I think it
• 4:25
  looks good on her, but you know, it
• 4:27
  comes not without criticism. So, of
• 4:29
  course, I saw some people um I went
• 4:32
  around and looked at different places on
• 4:34
  on the internet, and of course, there
• 4:37
  going to be some people that have some
• 4:38
  some different
• 4:40
  opinions. Um, and not all opinions have
• 4:44
  to be negative. They're just their
• 4:45
  opinions. So, either their opinions, but
• 4:47
  of course, then you have some people
• 4:49
  that are negative. So, you have some
• 4:52
  people saying
• 4:54
  um that she's a hypocrite because, you
• 4:56
  know, when Lizelle first came out, she
• 4:58
  was all about the the big woman, the big
• 5:01
  beautiful woman.
• 5:03
  Um, you know, and we should love
• 5:06
  ourselves.
• 5:07
  think losing
• 5:11
  weight is not loving yourself anymore. I
• 5:14
  mean, it should should cancel out her
• 5:18
  movement because first of all, she's
• 5:20
  still a plus-sized woman, number one.
• 5:22
  And even if she lost weight, I don't
• 5:24
  think the message should be lost. I
• 5:27
  think it's still the same message
• 5:29
  because, you know, especially when you
• 5:31
  get older, your your weight goes up and
• 5:33
  down, up and down, up and down. So just
• 5:37
  trying to love yourself and love
• 5:40
  everything about yourself in those es
• 5:42
  and flows, you know, is hard enough.
• 5:45
  It's hard enough. So, you know, I don't
• 5:48
  know the reason why she lost weight. And
• 5:51
  there's people that say different
• 5:53
  things, but if it was for health
• 5:55
  reasons, I'm I'm not going to tell her
• 5:58
  that she needs to remain bigger bigger
• 6:03
  because I want to feel better about
• 6:05
  myself. That should be my choice, you
• 6:08
  know? So, if it's for health reasons,
• 6:11
  she's still a plus-sized woman. She
• 6:13
  still looks beautiful. And then there's
• 6:14
  people that saw her in the um Sorry,
• 6:17
  guys, I was eating peanut.
• 6:21
  Um, I saw u a couple comments where
• 6:25
  people were
• 6:26
  saying, you know, she shouldn't be
• 6:28
  wearing that swimsuit because she still
• 6:32
  is not super fit. She's flabby and she
• 6:36
  has all those rolls and stuff like that.
• 6:38
  I'm like, miss me with all
• 6:40
  that. If she's confident in what she's
• 6:43
  wearing, and I think she still looks
• 6:45
  good. And honestly with in the this age
• 6:48
  of social media when things are filtered
• 6:52
  and
• 6:53
  um touched up and everything else, you
• 6:56
  can't and you can't believe half the
• 6:59
  stuff that you see on these cameras cuz
• 7:02
  I'm not above filters either. Look, it
• 7:04
  is what it is. If I want to cover and
• 7:06
  I've said this before, if I want to
• 7:07
  cover a wrinkle or something like that,
• 7:09
  I don't mind, you know, take that
• 7:11
  wrinkle off right there.
• 7:13
  So, I just feel like if she's
• 7:16
  comfortable in her own skin and she's
• 7:19
  probably proud of the things that she
• 7:22
  has accomplished in her body, with her
• 7:24
  body, then hey, show it off. If if
• 7:27
  that's what she wants to do, why make
• 7:30
  her feel shame about it, you know? So,
• 7:34
  I'm all for it,
• 7:35
  Lizo. So, whatever. If people want to
• 7:39
  shame you for it, let them do that
• 7:40
  because that's just the insecurities in
• 7:43
  them. So if they want to feel better
• 7:46
  about themselves a different type of
• 7:48
  way, then you know, let them go do that.
• 7:50
  But you guys be a little kinder to
• 7:52
  people. Be a little kinder to people.
• 7:54
  You don't know what struggle she has to
• 7:56
  go through. You don't, you know, she's
• 7:58
  out there in the public eye and we're in
• 8:01
  the public every day and have to deal
• 8:04
  with people nitpicking at us every day.
• 8:07
  Can you imagine what she's like, you
• 8:11
  know, under the uh public scrutiny? And
• 8:14
  yes, she she chose that life, but it's
• 8:18
  still not easy. So, you know, whatever.
• 8:21
  I'm with you, Lizo. I I love the line so
• 8:24
  far as, you know, what I've seen. so
• 8:26
  far. So, congratulations to her and all
• 8:30
  the women that uh that wear the clothing
• 8:34
  and wear uh what they want in
• 8:37
  confidence. So, I'm here for it. All
• 8:39
  right. So,
• 8:42
  lastly, I have a question for you guys
• 8:44
  after I report this. So, you guys know
• 8:46
  the Diddy trial is coming up next week
• 8:49
  as everybody's reporting. Um, I checked
• 8:52
  out CNN and um, CNN, well, let me read
• 8:56
  you guys this. So, of course, the trial
• 8:59
  is going forward. They're doing all the
• 9:02
  selections for the jurors uh, coming up
• 9:05
  on is it Monday, Tuesday, or early part
• 9:08
  of next week. It says, "Diddy's formal
• 9:11
  smeual partners, you know what smeual
• 9:13
  means. A business associate and a male
• 9:16
  smeck worker are amongst the witnesses
• 9:19
  expected to testify at his criminal
• 9:21
  trial." Multiple sources tell CNN. At
• 9:25
  least four witnesses who are expected to
• 9:27
  testify against Combmes at his federal
• 9:29
  criminal trial starting next week are
• 9:32
  accusers who may have already filed
• 9:34
  civil suits against the embattled music
• 9:36
  mogul. The witness list has not been
• 9:39
  made public, but three individuals
• 9:41
  familiar with the case spoke to CNN in
• 9:43
  private. Um, it goes on to say, "The
• 9:46
  central witness, of course, is uh Cassie
• 9:49
  Ventur, and u the singer and
• 9:51
  ex-girlfriend of Combmes, who's chosen
• 9:53
  to testify under her real name, which is
• 9:56
  Cassandra Ventur. the judge has allowed
• 9:59
  the other alleged victims um to use
• 10:03
  secret identities. So, they're just
• 10:05
  going to be named victim one, victim
• 10:06
  two, victim three, victim four. Um a
• 10:09
  number of supporting witness witnesses
• 10:11
  will also testify as government
• 10:13
  witnesses to corroborate the accounts of
• 10:15
  the key witnesses or to provide other
• 10:18
  relevant information at trial. Sources
• 10:20
  say among those supporting witnesses
• 10:23
  expected to testify is a male SMEX
• 10:25
  worker who is seen in explicit videos of
• 10:28
  Combmes so-called freakoffs. According
• 10:31
  to one source who said additional SMMEX
• 10:34
  workers may testify in the trial. That's
• 10:36
  going to be a trip. Friend of Ventures
• 10:39
  will also take the stand according to
• 10:41
  another source and and testify about
• 10:44
  some of their own claims of violence by
• 10:46
  Combmes.
• 10:48
  So, this this ought to be something
• 10:51
  crazy. This is going to be crazy. But my
• 10:53
  question to you is do you think this
• 10:56
  should be
• 10:57
  televised? I don't know if they're going
• 10:59
  to if the judge is going to allow
• 11:01
  cameras in there. Um, some people say
• 11:04
  they think it should be televised. Um,
• 11:07
  some people say it shouldn't. I don't
• 11:10
  know. I mean, I would love it to for it
• 11:13
  to be because I would want to be able to
• 11:15
  report it to you guys.
• 11:17
  maybe be just a little bit
• 11:19
  nosy, but
• 11:23
  um I don't know if it would be televised
• 11:27
  because of the nature of all of the the
• 11:32
  videos and things like that. And it's
• 11:35
  really freaky, y'all. And then the fact
• 11:38
  that there is going to be, I'm assuming,
• 11:41
  other high-profile people involved in
• 11:44
  this case.
• 11:46
  So that's going to put them
• 11:48
  directly in the public eye. I mean, not
• 11:51
  like we're not going to hear about it
• 11:52
  later, but I would imagine that's it's
• 11:56
  going to put them out front and street
• 11:57
  really, really fast. So, well, they
• 12:00
  better be ready. Whoever is on these
• 12:03
  tapes, whoever's names come out,
• 12:06
  um, you better be ready because we gonna
• 12:09
  find out it one way or another. But I
• 12:11
  would personally, I would like to see
• 12:12
  it.
• 12:14
  um you know in real time. I really
• 12:17
  would. Um you remember like the OJ if
• 12:21
  you're old enough to remember the OJ
• 12:22
  Simpson thing when everybody was kind of
• 12:24
  glued to not kind of but they were glued
• 12:26
  to the TV. I think this will be one of
• 12:28
  those situations as well. And I don't
• 12:31
  know if it would be because they want to
• 12:34
  see him see if he's going to get off or,
• 12:37
  you know, if he going to be freed or if
• 12:40
  they want him
• 12:41
  to spend many, many, many years in jail.
• 12:45
  So, we'll see. Neither one for me. I
• 12:50
  Well, I have my own personal opinions. I
• 12:52
  just kind of keep that to myself. Um,
• 12:55
  but I really would like to for it to be
• 12:59
  seen so I can make sure that I can give
• 13:01
  you guys an accurate
• 13:04
  uh depiction of what's going on if
• 13:07
  you're not watching it yourselves. And
• 13:08
  then it'll gives us an opportunity to
• 13:11
  kind of go back and forth with what we
• 13:14
  see and what we think about uh what's
• 13:17
  happening in the courtroom. So, we will
• 13:20
  see. And then he's not taking a a plea
• 13:22
  deal. And that kind of concerns me
• 13:26
  because and when I say concerns me,
• 13:30
  it's it's weird because, you know, if he
• 13:35
  doesn't take that plea deal, then it's
• 13:37
  possible that he's going to get many
• 13:38
  many many more years than what they
• 13:41
  could be, you know, could be offering
• 13:43
  him. So, it makes me like, why is he so
• 13:47
  confident and like, you know, I'm just
• 13:50
  going to keep fighting? So I guess I
• 13:52
  guess if if it foot the shoe was on the
• 13:54
  other foot, if you are
• 13:58
  absolutely not guilty, you're going to
• 14:01
  fight. So I I heard someone say that
• 14:04
  there are some charges that's on there
• 14:07
  that he claims that he is absolutely not
• 14:10
  guilty of. And by saying
• 14:13
  that taking a plea may may seem as
• 14:17
  though he's guilty of all these crimes.
• 14:20
  So, I don't know. We'll see. But my
• 14:22
  question again is, would you like to see
• 14:25
  it televised? I I read somebody's
• 14:27
  comment. What? And they said, um, well,
• 14:30
  he's in everybody else's videos, so why
• 14:32
  can't
• 14:33
  we why can't we see his video? I said,
• 14:37
  y'all internet is undefeated. But
• 14:40
  anyway, that's all we got for today. I
• 14:43
  talk to you guys later. Byebye.
