- 2:19Speaker 2: Diddy being in court for his appeal, a lot of
- 2:23Speaker 2: the Gucci Man conversation. Outside of what we've done, we
- 2:26Speaker 2: did on the Breakfast Club, I didn't do any of that,
- 2:29Speaker 2: And my point of doing it was I wanted to experience,
- 2:32Speaker 2: like really just disconnecting so I could come back fresh,
- 2:34Speaker 2: no burnout, and just kind of go from there. And
- 2:39Speaker 2: so my productive feeling is like a I feel like
- 2:42Speaker 2: people say that they feel productive because they've been able
- 2:44Speaker 2: to mark some goals off, but like, I truly feel
- 2:47Speaker 2: productive today and you know yesterday kicking off this week,
- 2:51Speaker 2: Like I.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Feel refresh and energized.
- 2:54Speaker 2: And actually able to like execute fully through which is
- 2:57Speaker 2: sometimes is a problem. Like I think I'm like a
- 3:00Speaker 2: big start and stop person. So I make a lot
- 3:02Speaker 2: of to do lists. I have to always I carry
- 3:05Speaker 2: notebooks around with me. I make a lot of to
- 3:07Speaker 2: do list because my mind is just all over the
- 3:11Speaker 2: place sometimes, so I'll start something, something else will happen,
- 3:15Speaker 2: I have to go back to it, and then I
- 3:17Speaker 2: don't finish things, and then the ugh I'm behind on
- 3:19Speaker 2: the execute well sets in. So you know that's normally
- 3:23Speaker 2: how I operate. But because I think I've been able
- 3:25Speaker 2: to kind of take that break, get that reset, my.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Palette is clear. Okay, my palette.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Is still living off of the Italian vibes. So I'm
- 3:35Speaker 2: feeling really productive as we get back into the work way.
- 3:38Speaker 2: So look, we got a lot to talk about, y'all.
- 3:40Speaker 2: I told you I took a little break. Right now
- 3:42Speaker 2: we're back.
- 3:42Speaker 1: With the jump off. We got a lot to talk about.
- 3:45Speaker 2: So let's get on into the latest because there is
- 3:47Speaker 2: a new major celebrity being.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Accused of sexual assault.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Now, this story a lot of twists and turns here.
- 3:56Speaker 2: It kind of came out of left field. So Coachella
- 3:58Speaker 2: went down last weekend. A big conversation out of Coachella
- 4:02Speaker 2: was Justin Bieber because Justin Bieber was performing literally to
- 4:07Speaker 2: some of his old YouTube videos from before he went viral.
- 4:10Speaker 2: Now for some fans, you know, I saw Lizzo and
- 4:12Speaker 2: a lot of other people talk about how nostalgic it was,
- 4:15Speaker 2: and you know how exciting and just kind of like
- 4:18Speaker 2: that that almost like refreshed feeling or connection to your
- 4:24Speaker 2: past feeling that you got when you watch Justin Bieber
- 4:27Speaker 2: perform in person at Coachella, but other people are like, look,
- 4:31Speaker 2: there are reports that Justin bieber got ten million dollars
- 4:35Speaker 2: to perform at Coachella, that he negotiated it himself, and
- 4:38Speaker 2: y'all know that there have been previous reports about him
- 4:40Speaker 2: having money issues, him having himsell his catalog because of that,
- 4:44Speaker 2: him distancing himself from like his team and you know,
- 4:47Speaker 2: a lot of the like O.
- 4:48Speaker 1: G people around him, so he's been.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Doing a lot on his own those I have not
- 4:53Speaker 2: confirmed the reports to the amount of money or anything
- 4:55Speaker 2: like that, but people are pissed. They're like, for the
- 4:58Speaker 2: amount of money that people are just been to go
- 4:59Speaker 2: to Coachella, the amount of money that he was paid
- 5:02Speaker 2: there should have been more. On the other side, the
- 5:04Speaker 2: fans loved it. One of the people who were there
- 5:06Speaker 2: that was seeing having an amazing time. She was also
- 5:08Speaker 2: caught out with her boo Justin Trudeau. Former Prime Minister
- 5:12Speaker 2: of Canada was Katy Perry. So there's a video Katy
- 5:16Speaker 2: Perry watching Justin Biebersett and she comments on the fact
- 5:19Speaker 2: that he's using YouTube videos.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Let's take a little y'all to see you lou and
- 5:26Speaker 1: in San sorrow over the world tonight. Yeah, that's solo
- 5:30Speaker 1: of the world tonight.
- 5:33Speaker 2: That needs I gotta see you blue and assal over
- 5:39Speaker 2: the world tonight, toast.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Over the world tonight. Hey to Mama, you're stuff.
- 5:49Speaker 2: I don't know what about this video triggered Ruby Rose. Okay,
- 5:55Speaker 2: Ruby Rose, former Batgirl, she played Batgirl, she was in
- 5:58Speaker 2: Orange is the New Black?
- 5:59Speaker 1: You guys know, Ruby Rose.
- 6:01Speaker 2: She got on threads and went off in reaction to
- 6:05Speaker 2: this video. She commented to know someone who had posted
- 6:09Speaker 2: this video and said Katie Perry sexually assaulted me at
- 6:12Speaker 2: Spice Market nightclub in Melbourne.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Who gives a shit what she thinks?
- 6:15Speaker 2: Because fans then began to ask for more details, right, so,
- 6:18Speaker 2: she didn't began to say she didn't kiss me. She
- 6:21Speaker 2: saw me resting on my best friend's lap to avoid
- 6:23Speaker 2: her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side
- 6:26Speaker 2: and rubbed her dusting vagina of dusting, I said dusting.
- 6:31Speaker 1: I wanna say, how the heck does a vagina.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Dust I ain't got no brothers over here, y'all disgusting
- 6:37Speaker 2: vagina rubbed her disgusting vagina on my face. Not to
- 6:41Speaker 2: laugh at the allegations, but the fact that I said
- 6:43Speaker 2: dustin was a little funny discussing vagina on my face
- 6:46Speaker 2: until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her.
- 6:50Speaker 2: After I threw up on her, I told the story publicly,
- 6:53Speaker 2: but changed it to be funny, a little funny, drunk story,
- 6:56Speaker 2: because I didn't know how else to handle it. Rose
- 6:58Speaker 2: responded to another fan later on as they were asking
- 7:01Speaker 2: for more questions and said, later she agreed to help
- 7:05Speaker 2: me get my US visa, so I kept it a secret,
- 7:07Speaker 2: but I did tell you guys that she was not
- 7:09Speaker 2: a good person. Ruby Rose goes on and says, I
- 7:12Speaker 2: was only in my early twenties. I'm now forty years old.
- 7:15Speaker 2: It has taken me two decades to say this publicly,
- 7:17Speaker 2: though I am very grateful to have made it long
- 7:20Speaker 2: enough to find my voice. It just shows how much
- 7:23Speaker 2: of an impact trauma and sexual short and sexual assault takes.
- 7:26Speaker 1: Thank you for seeing me now.
- 7:28Speaker 2: She also noted that the Ruby Rose noted there was
- 7:31Speaker 2: no police report filed when it's happened, and that she
- 7:33Speaker 2: wasn't interested in foulding police report about the incident, because
- 7:36Speaker 2: she says, you don't need people to believe you, You
- 7:38Speaker 2: just need to get it out of your poor body
- 7:40Speaker 2: before it gives you cancer. Yeah, Katie Perri's reps have
- 7:46Speaker 2: responded to this and they're denying all the allegations.
- 7:50Speaker 1: So they gave a statement that says.
- 7:52Speaker 2: The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose
- 7:55Speaker 2: about Katy Perry are not only categorically false, but they
- 7:59Speaker 2: are dangerous, reckless lies. Ms Rose has a well documented
- 8:02Speaker 2: history of making serious public allegations on social media against
- 8:05Speaker 2: various individuals, claims that have repeatedly been denied by these names.
- 8:11Speaker 1: So that is where we're left off.
- 8:14Speaker 2: You got people arguing about Justin Bieber, the money he got,
- 8:17Speaker 2: why he performed those songs, and whether that has something
- 8:20Speaker 2: to do with the you know, ownership and lack thereof
- 8:22Speaker 2: of his catalog, and now we're having a conversation about
- 8:25Speaker 2: vagina environment. The craziest thing about all of this is
- 8:29Speaker 2: the fact that I didn't even know Coachella was happening
- 8:32Speaker 2: this year, y'all. Like I thought about that when I
- 8:34Speaker 2: when I saw this headline and I'm like, there's all
- 8:37Speaker 2: this news coming out of Coachella, I didn't even know
- 8:40Speaker 2: that it was. I mean not that I didn't know
- 8:41Speaker 2: what was happening this year. I didn't know it was
- 8:42Speaker 2: coming up. It like randomly just like popped up this year.
- 8:46Speaker 2: I feel like normally, and I don't know if this
- 8:47Speaker 2: is because I was living in LA for so long,
- 8:49Speaker 2: but I feel like I always used to like know
- 8:51Speaker 2: when Coachella was coming up, and like, you know who
- 8:54Speaker 2: the festival headliners were, the performers. This year just like
- 8:58Speaker 2: popped up and I tuned in because I started to
- 9:00Speaker 2: see it on my timeline. Like you know, I randomly
- 9:03Speaker 2: saw the video of Katie Perry and it was like boom, okay,
- 9:05Speaker 2: Justin Bieber's performing, Like all of this stuff so randomly happened.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Now there's these random allegations. I'm gonna do some more
- 9:12Speaker 2: digging because I want to try and find when Ruby
- 9:15Speaker 2: Rose says that she's talked about this before, to see
- 9:17Speaker 2: how she talked about it before, just because it mentions there,
- 9:21Speaker 2: and also look into the other claims that you know,
- 9:24Speaker 2: Katie Perry's team is claiming Ruby Rose made. I haven't
- 9:28Speaker 2: personally reached out to any reps here in this situation,
- 9:30Speaker 2: but plan to so ill keep you guys posted if
- 9:32Speaker 2: anything else comes up. But man, this is only week
- 9:35Speaker 2: in one of Coachella. We are in store for.
- 9:37Speaker 1: A lot more.
- 9:39Speaker 2: Speaking of week in one week and two shifting gears
- 9:42Speaker 2: a bit. I know I talked to you guys yesterday
- 9:45Speaker 2: about the fact that I went to go see You
- 9:46Speaker 2: Meet and Tuscany on their opening weekend after my first
- 9:50Speaker 2: trip to Italy. And the film is set in Italy.
- 9:52Speaker 2: It's a black lead rom com. Shout out to Hayley
- 9:55Speaker 2: Bailey and reggae Jean Page and we'll pack her and
- 9:59Speaker 2: all team over there for producing it. So some updates
- 10:03Speaker 2: because the film did well for its first weekend. So
- 10:06Speaker 2: on its opening weekend, which was considered to be April
- 10:09Speaker 2: tien through the twelfth, across a little over three thousand theaters,
- 10:13Speaker 2: the film came in fourth place, So it opened number
- 10:16Speaker 2: four at the box office. Now let me tell you guys, right,
- 10:19Speaker 2: this film was up against a lot of other major
- 10:22Speaker 2: movies in the box office literally, so you're like, okay,
- 10:26Speaker 2: they came in fourth.
- 10:27Speaker 1: Who was number one?

- 10:47Speaker 2: Of the weekend, they grossed sixty eight point nine million
- 10:51Speaker 2: dollars domestically just within that weekend. And this was a
- 10:54Speaker 2: forty eight percent drop from last weekend's numbers. Okay, and
