- 2:21Speaker 1: really thought I was twenty three. No long ways away. Yes,
- 2:25Speaker 1: I've been great. I am at Sony now. So I'm
- 2:28Speaker 1: the executive producer of Entertainment Podcasts at Sony, and it's
- 2:33Speaker 1: been a really cool journey. I miss you obviously, like yeah,
- 2:37Speaker 1: but we still talk. Though we still talk, but I
- 2:39Speaker 1: miss just kind of like being with you in terms
- 2:42Speaker 1: of like working with you on the show and helping
- 2:44Speaker 1: you out in all of that. So it's so good
- 2:46Speaker 1: to just be back with you in this form outside
- 2:48Speaker 1: of me just like calling you, like Hey, you got
- 2:50Speaker 1: five minutes and then thirty minutes later were still on
- 2:53Speaker 1: the phone.
- 2:54Speaker 2: So it's good to be here.
- 2:56Speaker 3: So look, we have to do a deep dive into
- 2:59Speaker 3: Platon and what went wrong this season to the point
- 3:03Speaker 3: where a lot of people are turned off by it.
- 3:06Speaker 3: I wanted to talk to you because you're not only
- 3:08Speaker 3: my friend, you're not only a fan favorite.
- 3:11Speaker 4: You're also a fan of Potomac.
- 3:14Speaker 3: You're a black woman as well, and all of those
- 3:16Speaker 3: things to me is a condition in terms of.
- 3:19Speaker 4: Who I wanted to talk to about this topic.
- 3:22Speaker 3: I did not want to do this alone because I
- 3:25Speaker 3: wanted somebody who, again unlike me, who's not in the
- 3:28Speaker 3: reality business, who doesn't have a sort of deep relationship.
- 3:33Speaker 4: With the cast.
- 3:34Speaker 3: So I wanted to talk to you about it because
- 3:36Speaker 3: we follow each other on Twitter and honey ms Jasmine said,
- 3:40Speaker 3: I don't want to put words in your mouth, but
- 3:43Speaker 3: you stopped watching Potomac this past season.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Yes, I did.
- 3:47Speaker 1: I think the last thing I remember was them they
- 3:50Speaker 1: went somewhere and they were at they were on a bus.
- 3:53Speaker 2: I think Wendy put something together.
- 3:55Speaker 1: It might have been in episode two or three, and
- 3:58Speaker 1: it was when Yeah, Wendy hath them burn the paper,
- 4:03Speaker 1: and I remember, is that that happened earlier this season, right.
- 4:06Speaker 4: Jasmine, that's like episode thought, Yeah.
- 4:09Speaker 1: That's that's the last episode. I remember watching the way
- 4:12Speaker 1: they tried to do Candace or the way that they
- 4:14Speaker 1: were setting it up they were going to try to
- 4:16Speaker 1: do Candace and Chris. I don't fuck with that at all.
- 4:18Speaker 1: That felt so dark to me and just nasty. And
- 4:23Speaker 1: I'm biased because I really enjoy Candace, Like I think
- 4:26Speaker 1: Candace is a star to me, right, So I'm biased absolutely,
- 4:31Speaker 1: but I just felt like watching anybody the way we
- 4:34Speaker 1: had watched Candace and Chris and for that to kind
- 4:36Speaker 1: of be the storyline they were going with.
- 4:38Speaker 2: I don't know if they continued.
- 4:39Speaker 1: With that for the entire season, but I saw that
- 4:42Speaker 1: and immediately I was like, no, this is very very dark.
- 4:45Speaker 1: The Housewives just has gotten into a place, all of them, right,
- 4:48Speaker 1: every city, they've gotten to a place where like they're
- 4:50Speaker 1: trying to ruin families, like it's not fun Shade anymore,
- 4:54Speaker 1: Like y'all are trying to ruin people.
- 4:56Speaker 2: And they just really turned me off.
- 4:57Speaker 1: And it just felt like this is a group of
- 4:59Speaker 1: women and these are not friends in any sense of
- 5:02Speaker 1: the imagination. When filming starts, they come, they clock in,
- 5:06Speaker 1: they you know, discuss their little story lines or whatever.
- 5:09Speaker 1: They film the show, and they don't talk to each
- 5:11Speaker 1: other once that's done. Obviously, Giselle and Robin do because
- 5:14Speaker 1: they have a podcast together, but it doesn't feel like
- 5:16Speaker 1: any of them are actually friends. And it just wasn't
- 5:19Speaker 1: a good watch to me. I didn't get good vibes
- 5:21Speaker 1: from it, so I stopped whatever that episode was where
- 5:22Speaker 1: they were burning a paper child at and they weren't
- 5:26Speaker 1: really trying to hear Wendy out with hers and yeah,
- 5:29Speaker 1: Ashley turned on candidate.
- 5:30Speaker 2: It's real quick. I was like, yes, these these witches
- 5:34Speaker 2: are getting dark.
- 5:35Speaker 1: And I say bitch as a term of endearment, like
- 5:37Speaker 1: love them down, respect to all women, but you know
- 5:41Speaker 1: it's a term of endearment.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Yes, And listen, now that we don't work with each
- 5:45Speaker 3: other tomore, we can't reveal that we call each other
- 5:48Speaker 3: bitches all the time. Time.
- 5:51Speaker 1: I have to check for myself because I know everybody
- 5:53Speaker 1: isn't a fan of that word, and I do, you know,
- 5:55Speaker 1: genuinely apologize if you're offended by that.
- 5:56Speaker 2: But that's how me and mine, that's how we communicate.
- 5:59Speaker 3: No, that's you and I communicate, And I had no
- 6:02Speaker 3: idea that you stopped watching it that early. Like I said,
- 6:05Speaker 3: I did not notice this until last week on Twitter
- 6:08Speaker 3: when you revealed that you stopped watching this season at all.
- 6:12Speaker 3: One of the things that you and I both used
- 6:14Speaker 3: to enjoy about Potomac was it was fun. It was
- 6:18Speaker 3: fun shade, It was light shade. And although we knew
- 6:22Speaker 3: that Giselle was a producer and wore her producer had,
- 6:25Speaker 3: we both never felt that it was so obvious in
- 6:28Speaker 3: terms of making things happen out of nowhere and pulling
- 6:32Speaker 3: things out of thin air. And the problem with this
- 6:35Speaker 3: season was the fact that it's truly everything you said.
- 6:38Speaker 3: It was very dark. And the reason why I'm happy
- 6:41Speaker 3: we're talking about this is because a physical fight does
- 6:46Speaker 3: not always mean that's the only way things are dark
- 6:49Speaker 3: on reality TV. At the time of my interview with Giselle,
- 6:53Speaker 3: Jasmine was still on board as the EP of the show,
- 6:56Speaker 3: and I don't want to put words of.
- 6:57Speaker 4: Your mouth, but we all felt like, Okayjisell was a
- 7:00Speaker 4: cool woman.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Absolutely, And what I always tell people is outside of
- 7:05Speaker 3: the show, the Gizelle that I know personally is a
- 7:09Speaker 3: breath of fresh air.
- 7:10Speaker 4: She's so fun.
- 7:11Speaker 3: However, when she's on the show, I feel like Giselle
- 7:15Speaker 3: holds the weight of the show on her shoulders and
- 7:19Speaker 3: she feels the need to behave in a way that
- 7:22Speaker 3: is really going to turn people on her.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Yeah, because the way that I've been seeing people carry
- 7:28Speaker 1: on about Gazelle is completely different than I think the
- 7:31Speaker 1: Gizelle that I was able to meet when she came
- 7:34Speaker 1: on your show. I will say, obviously I only had
- 7:37Speaker 1: that experience with her, and I recognize she was coming
- 7:40Speaker 1: on your show. I'm an executive producer of your show.
- 7:43Speaker 1: There's a level of the quorum that you know, we
- 7:45Speaker 1: had with each other. So I think there is a
- 7:47Speaker 1: politeness and a kindness there. But I also think that
- 7:50Speaker 1: I'm a very good judge of character, and Giselle just
- 7:52Speaker 1: didn't come off like a nasty person like. She came
- 7:56Speaker 1: off like a very cool, like down to earth woman.
- 7:59Speaker 1: And so so you know, hearing what I'm hearing about her,
- 8:02Speaker 1: that she's colorless, that she's evil in all of this,
- 8:07Speaker 1: it feels like it's a different character. Like it feels
- 8:11Speaker 1: like it's a character that she's portraying on television. But again,
- 8:16Speaker 1: I can't really say for sure. I only met her
- 8:18Speaker 1: for what like an hour and a half, so I
- 8:19Speaker 1: don't know if that's how she carries on in her
- 8:21Speaker 1: real life outside of situations like this. I think the
- 8:25Speaker 1: Chris thing. I do think there are worlds where, like
- 8:28Speaker 1: your perception of what's happening is could be uncomfortable. Like
- 8:31Speaker 1: whatever did happen with her and Chris? If he made
- 8:35Speaker 1: her uncomfortable, that's Giselle's story to tell, right, like none
- 8:37Speaker 1: of us can tell her he didn't do it. I
- 8:40Speaker 1: think the way that it was blown up was very unfair,
- 8:42Speaker 1: and we all know that a lot of people can't
- 8:45Speaker 1: you know, think or have discussions with nuance. So it's like,
- 8:48Speaker 1: once you say a man tried to be in my
- 8:51Speaker 1: room with us alone and made me feel uncomfortable, people
- 8:54Speaker 1: are going to automatically assume the worst.
- 8:55Speaker 2: And that's what I didn't like about it.
- 8:57Speaker 1: It is like, I don't I think there was a
- 8:58Speaker 1: point where she did try to Like, I wasn't saying
- 9:01Speaker 1: he did anything, It's just how I felt, and I
- 9:04Speaker 1: do think that's the right stance to take. But I
- 9:06Speaker 1: just think the way it was presented, you can't unring
- 9:08Speaker 1: that bell once. Once it's wrung, Once you say what
- 9:11Speaker 1: you say, you can't go back and like dial it back.
- 9:13Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't really like that. You should have presented
- 9:16Speaker 2: it that way.
- 9:17Speaker 1: Initially, I'm confused, and I think that's why I don't
- 9:19Speaker 1: like the show anymore, because I'm like, who are these
- 9:21Speaker 1: women really?
- 9:22Speaker 2: And truly?
- 9:23Speaker 4: Now, listen, you're confused, I'm confused. Think about it. I
- 9:27Speaker 4: praised the show.
- 9:28Speaker 3: I told my millions of listeners how much I love
- 9:31Speaker 3: the show. I gave Gazelle the coveted position and being
- 9:35Speaker 3: in the top ten greatest Housewives of all time. So
- 9:39Speaker 3: you're not alone, Jasmine in your confusion. As I was
- 9:42Speaker 3: watching this season, because I did watch more episodes than you.
- 9:47Speaker 2: I'm so happy for you.
- 9:51Speaker 3: I always said, Jasmine, something's off about this season. So
- 9:56Speaker 3: when it was revealed that not only are we confused
- 10:01Speaker 3: about this Chris Bassett story, because listen, in Giselle's defense,
- 10:04Speaker 3: I have spoken to people who are friends with Giselle,
- 10:07Speaker 3: and they also told me that Gazelle told them days
- 10:11Speaker 3: after it happened that she did feel uncomfortable. So I
- 10:13Speaker 3: want to make people understand that Giselle, in real life,
- 10:17Speaker 3: we have mutual friends.
- 10:18Speaker 4: Our mutual friends have told me personally.
- 10:21Speaker 3: To Gazelle's credit, she did tell us that she felt
- 10:25Speaker 3: uncomfortable with Chris.
- 10:27Speaker 4: That is a truth.
- 10:28Speaker 3: I think the part that gets confusing is she waited
- 10:32Speaker 3: over a year to.
- 10:33Speaker 4: Talk about it on the show.
- 10:37Speaker 3: And although, as a producer myself, yes, we want you
- 10:41Speaker 3: to bring things to life to the show, but I
- 10:44Speaker 3: think that year and a half gap of not talking
- 10:47Speaker 3: about it and Giselle saying, well, I brought it up
- 10:50Speaker 3: because Ashley was talking about these dms. It's sort of like, Okay,
- 10:54Speaker 3: Ashley had an instant story. She posted a video in
- 10:58Speaker 3: her stories responded to Ashley's story and said, why didn't
- 11:04Speaker 3: y'all come to the job he works at the w
- 11:07Speaker 3: Hotel and party and Ashley allegedly took that to the
- 11:12Speaker 3: alleged meeting that the housewives have before filming, and that's
- 11:16Speaker 3: how they made this part of the storyline allegedly.
- 11:19Speaker 4: Not pre production, Yes, this.
- 11:21Speaker 3: Is pre production, and that's what made Giselle allegedly bring
- 11:26Speaker 3: up the Chris Bassett thing and they started to put
- 11:29Speaker 3: this issue together. So that's why it's confusing Jasmine too,
- 11:34Speaker 3: because it did happen over a year ago. To Gizelle's credit,
- 11:38Speaker 3: he told people immediately, but she did not tell To
- 11:42Speaker 3: your point again, Jazz, if Candace is your friend, why
- 11:46Speaker 3: are you telling every Tom, Dick and Harry about this?
- 11:50Speaker 3: But you don't tell the woman you claim to be
- 11:52Speaker 3: friends with who you're on the show.
- 11:55Speaker 1: And if your intentions weren't to make Chris seem like
- 11:59Speaker 1: a bad person, why not tell Candace in private without
- 12:03Speaker 1: cameras there right, Like, you know, Jiselle's a brilliant woman.
- 12:07Speaker 1: She knows what the implications are of telling Candace that
- 12:10Speaker 1: about her husband on national television. You know what that
- 12:14Speaker 1: was gonna do. So if you really did care for Candace,
- 12:17Speaker 1: or if you weren't trying to make it what it became,
- 12:20Speaker 1: why not call her right after it happened, like, hey, girl,
- 12:23Speaker 1: this just happened. I know Chris is this type of guy,
- 12:26Speaker 1: but this did make me feel this way. And as
- 12:28Speaker 1: a woman, I'm sure you can understand that because what
- 12:30Speaker 1: I also have come to know I think we've all
- 12:32Speaker 1: come to know about Candace. She's rational until you activate her,
- 12:36Speaker 1: but she's a rational person. So I think Candace would
- 12:39Speaker 1: have understood if Giselle called her and said that and
- 12:41Speaker 1: even if Candace didn't, y'all can do that over the phone.
- 12:44Speaker 1: You don't have to wait until the cameras are rolling
- 12:46Speaker 1: to then tell her that, because one you know, is
- 12:48Speaker 1: gonna activate her and piss her off. And then you
- 12:51Speaker 1: know what that looks like to the rest of us
- 12:52Speaker 1: watching like it just it feels dark.
- 12:54Speaker 3: No, it does, And what also felt dark was and
- 12:57Speaker 3: I'm sure you saw the clips online about.
- 12:59Speaker 4: This jazz Mea throwing a drink on Wendy.
- 13:02Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I always forget that Mia exists, but yet.
- 13:10Speaker 4: Damn jazz.
- 13:11Speaker 1: Mia did give us a she gave but no, okay,
- 13:15Speaker 1: I'll give me a this does a frog have a
- 13:17Speaker 1: watertight asshole? I text you that you did so, yes,
- 13:23Speaker 1: that thank you for your contribution.
- 13:26Speaker 4: And that's it.
- 13:29Speaker 1: It feels like she's always trying too hard. And we
- 13:33Speaker 1: talked about this when we were having the discussion about
- 13:36Speaker 1: Real Housewives Orange County and Noela right, like, they have
- 13:40Speaker 1: the makings of really good housewives, but they are trying
- 13:43Speaker 1: too hard and it's just coming off very inauthentic and
- 13:46Speaker 1: just hard to follow, hard to relate to, hard to like,
- 13:50Speaker 1: hard to like, hard to like on the show.
- 13:52Speaker 3: For me, when you saw her throw a drink on
- 13:55Speaker 3: Wendy and you saw the aftermath, because again, I'm pretty
- 13:58Speaker 3: sure you saw the clips of it, or.
- 14:00Speaker 4: Did you not.
- 14:00Speaker 1: I want to say I have seen the clip of
- 14:03Speaker 1: that happen because she threw it kind of like backhandidly,
- 14:05Speaker 1: like she was sitting next to Wendy.
- 14:07Speaker 2: Yes, okay, I've seen that clip.
- 14:09Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, she threw it to her faith and she
- 14:11Speaker 3: did it, and then she tried to hit.
- 14:13Speaker 4: Her with her purse. She tried to like, no, I know.
- 14:16Speaker 3: This is the reason why I got upset about that.
- 14:19Speaker 3: And me and dj Ritchie Sky did a recap about
- 14:23Speaker 3: that episode, and he felt so strongly too, how disgusting
- 14:26Speaker 3: and dark it was. We all agreed to that Mia
- 14:30Speaker 3: took her purse and was trying to hit Wendy with
- 14:34Speaker 3: her purse.
- 14:34Speaker 2: That's guttersnipe behavior.
- 14:37Speaker 4: Not guttersnipe Jasmine.
- 14:39Speaker 3: It got so bad that Wendy's employer, John Hopkins University
- 14:44Speaker 3: child They put a black car up and said this
- 14:47Speaker 3: university has no connection to the real housewats of Potomac.
- 14:50Speaker 2: Wait where did they put that?
- 14:52Speaker 4: They put that? You know how you put the black
- 14:53Speaker 4: car up at the end.
- 14:55Speaker 2: Oh, I'm the TV I think.
- 14:58Speaker 4: On the TV screen.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Oh my god, yes, but you don't. I don't want
- 15:02Speaker 1: to harp on the past. What was the reaction to
- 15:05Speaker 1: their coworkers after this happened, Because I really want to
- 15:08Speaker 1: draw a line.
- 15:10Speaker 4: Okay, so I'm gonna tell you something, Jasmine. Let me
- 15:13Speaker 4: tell you what happened first.
- 15:14Speaker 3: So, after Mia through a drink on Wendy, Robin took
- 15:18Speaker 3: her phone out and started recording it, and there were
- 15:21Speaker 3: numerous shots of Robin laughing at what was going on
- 15:26Speaker 3: in front of her. Then Giselle was eating her dinner
- 15:31Speaker 3: and telling what Wendy was. Of course, you know, listen,
- 15:35Speaker 3: a black girl got a drink thrown, so of course
- 15:38Speaker 3: you're reacting like black folks do.
- 15:41Speaker 4: Like I'm gonna beat her. You know, I'm gonna do this.
- 15:42Speaker 4: I'm gonna do that.
- 15:43Speaker 3: That was Wendy's natural reaction, right so as any black
- 15:48Speaker 3: woman in that situation done the same thing.
- 15:50Speaker 4: I'm about to whoop her boom boom.
- 15:52Speaker 3: Even Phaedra, who has esquad after her last name, tried
- 15:56Speaker 3: to be like an esther and get her purse and
- 15:58Speaker 3: hit Kenya with it. Because when a black girl is
- 16:02Speaker 3: and that things happen, so Gizelle should know that she
- 16:05Speaker 3: went to an HBCU.
- 16:06Speaker 1: When a person physically a tax you, that should be
- 16:09Speaker 1: your next go to to defend yourself.
- 16:12Speaker 4: Is I know a child.
- 16:13Speaker 3: Some of these Bisley Hills housewives don't, so any who,
- 16:16Speaker 3: Wendy was saying that and Gizelle was like, she might
- 16:19Speaker 3: hit you back.
- 16:20Speaker 4: You know you need to sit down paraphrasing.
- 16:22Speaker 3: A few days later after that aired, I saw Giselle
- 16:26Speaker 3: at Portia's wedding. Me and Giselle said next to each
- 16:30Speaker 3: other at Porsia's Nigerian wedding.
- 16:32Speaker 4: Because me and Giselle are friends.
- 16:34Speaker 3: I will never disclose a private conversation to the public,
- 16:37Speaker 3: but what I will share with you, Jasmine and the
- 16:40Speaker 3: listeners is the fact that I really took that moment
- 16:44Speaker 3: and told Giselle how I felt, and I was very
- 16:49Speaker 3: sincere with.
- 16:50Speaker 4: Giselle, who I love.
- 16:52Speaker 3: I really had a real deep conversation with Giselle. And
- 16:56Speaker 3: the only thing I will say is at the very end,
- 16:59Speaker 3: jose Yelle had her rebuttal to me, right, because.
- 17:03Speaker 4: That's what friends do.
- 17:04Speaker 3: Me and Jasmine always have rebuttals because I feel like
- 17:06Speaker 3: when you're passionate about something you just It's not always
- 17:09Speaker 3: like yes, ma'am, yes, sorry, no, you have a rebuttal
- 17:12Speaker 3: to Jaselle's credit. At the very end of our conversation,
- 17:16Speaker 3: Giselle said, I see your point.
- 17:19Speaker 4: I got you, and I.
- 17:21Speaker 3: Wanted to share that because I know Gizelle gets a
- 17:24Speaker 3: lot of flack and I have had numerous moments of
- 17:27Speaker 3: being disappointed with Giselle numerous If a friend can't be
- 17:31Speaker 3: real with you, you don't want to grow. And my concern
- 17:36Speaker 3: for Gizelle is she doesn't have many or any people
- 17:42Speaker 3: around her Jasmin who can tell her like.
- 17:45Speaker 4: You need to stop.
- 17:47Speaker 3: And when I say that, I mean it's the circle
- 17:49Speaker 3: of friends you're around. Robin, if that's your best friend,
- 17:53Speaker 3: both of y'all should be holding each other account of Bell.
- 17:55Speaker 3: It shouldn't be Carlos King, and it should also be
- 17:58Speaker 3: the production.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Can Robin hold her accountable?
- 18:01Speaker 1: Robin feels the same way and holds the same views,
- 18:03Speaker 1: It's impossible. My expectation isn't for Robin to hold Jozel
- 18:07Speaker 1: accountable for anything. Like I said, it's a character that
- 18:11Speaker 1: she's playing. That's why it's like really hard to just
- 18:13Speaker 1: get with. You know, at this point, we know reality TV.
- 18:17Speaker 1: That's a loose term, right, yes, But her saying I
- 18:21Speaker 1: see your point at the end of your talk at
- 18:22Speaker 1: Portia's wedding speaks to the person that I met when
- 18:25Speaker 1: she came to do your show. She seems reasonable, right,
- 18:28Speaker 1: she seems nice, kind, Right, That's not the person that
- 18:32Speaker 1: people are experiencing on Potomac. And again I say, which
- 18:37Speaker 1: one is the real? Will the real Zelle Bryant please
- 18:40Speaker 1: stand up.
- 18:42Speaker 2: For real?
- 18:43Speaker 1: That's how I feel about it, like show yourself, because
- 18:46Speaker 1: she seems like such a likable person when she's not
- 18:49Speaker 1: playing the Giselle on potomach I think her even just
- 18:52Speaker 1: kind of encouraging. Wendy and MIA's kind of feud is
- 18:56Speaker 1: also very contradictory because with my Nique in Candace Spot
- 19:01Speaker 1: it was, y'all, are you know representing black women wrong?
- 19:05Speaker 1: And I forgot all the ship she pulled bringing security
- 19:08Speaker 1: around her. Did she bring security with her the next
- 19:11Speaker 1: time she was around Mia? I'm gonna assume.
- 19:13Speaker 4: No, no.
- 19:14Speaker 3: And then Mia was allowed to stay in the house
- 19:17Speaker 3: after the fight and Wendy had to go into a
- 19:19Speaker 3: hotel room.
- 19:20Speaker 1: So, Yumana, tell me you had a dangerous violence, aggressive
- 19:25Speaker 1: tall woman with huge feet according to the Candace, you
- 19:28Speaker 1: let that person come in the house and stay with you.
- 19:30Speaker 1: But Monique and Candace are making black women look bad.
- 19:34Speaker 1: What is Mia doing?
- 19:36Speaker 2: What is MEA doing?
- 19:37Speaker 1: Because it's the same situation, same setting. She's aggressive because
- 19:41Speaker 1: according to you know what I've been seeing on Twitter,
- 19:43Speaker 1: she also is very shady for pay. She chased her
- 19:45Speaker 1: best friends and her people. That's aggressive. Hashtag aggressive Mia.
- 19:52Speaker 1: She's taken that from Ashley from around marriag JC. It's
- 19:55Speaker 1: aggressive Mia.
- 19:57Speaker 3: Exactly instead of aggressive Ashley A love it bat DC
- 20:01Speaker 3: jas was calling her aggressive via Heypotomac. No, Jasmine, you
- 20:06Speaker 3: just said something and the light bulb in my head
- 20:09Speaker 3: went off when you said that, it's shade for pay.
- 20:14Speaker 4: And I'm going to tell you this.
- 20:16Speaker 3: You have perfectly coined a term that fits how these
- 20:23Speaker 3: new reality stars are so desperate for a moment that
- 20:28Speaker 3: they no longer want to showcase what's really happening in
- 20:32Speaker 3: their lives because they feel like, if I'm on TV,
- 20:35Speaker 3: it is shade for pay. And I can be hard
- 20:38Speaker 3: on the on the reality stars. As a producer, I
- 20:41Speaker 3: also have to be hard on the producers. And the
- 20:45Speaker 3: only thing I want for Giselle is to get on
- 20:48Speaker 3: camera and have a moment of humility to say I
- 20:54Speaker 3: was wrong, Wendy, I was wrong.
- 20:57Speaker 4: I was wrong. I was being duplicitous. You're right. I
- 21:01Speaker 4: should have kept that same energy. I'm not perfect. I'm wrong.
- 21:04Speaker 3: Giselle, if you're listening, and the producers too. This is
- 21:07Speaker 3: a two person job. Jasmine was my EP on Reality
- 21:12Speaker 3: with the King for almost a year, and she would
- 21:16Speaker 3: even say to me, I don't like that.
- 21:18Speaker 4: You said that.
- 21:19Speaker 3: I don't like that, or hey, you said something, but
- 21:23Speaker 3: I'm not sure if you knew how people are gonna
- 21:25Speaker 3: take it. I said to her, Oh my gosh, yes,
- 21:28Speaker 3: oh that wasn't my intention, though she said, oh, I didn't.
- 21:30Speaker 4: Think it was. But I'm just I'm helping you.
- 21:33Speaker 3: But this intelligent black woman who I love and trust,
- 21:37Speaker 3: checked me, and I allowed myself to be censored.
- 21:42Speaker 4: I allowed myself to be checked.
- 21:44Speaker 3: And if you want to row with the big dogs,
- 21:46Speaker 3: you're gonna have to allow people to check you.
- 21:50Speaker 2: Who.
- 21:50Speaker 4: I hate to interrupt, but stay tuned for more.
- 21:53Speaker 3: We'll be right back after these quick asss. This is
- 22:04Speaker 3: Reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King. Let's get
- 22:07Speaker 3: back into the show. Allegedly, some of the Potomac Girls
- 22:12Speaker 3: are mad because of my recent comments about colorism, and
- 22:18Speaker 3: how I was so disappointed that they spoke about this
- 22:22Speaker 3: important topic for two minutes on the show. And let's
- 22:25Speaker 3: be clear, the reason why I wanted more of a
- 22:28Speaker 3: discourse about this is because the colorism accusations have been
- 22:31Speaker 3: happening for three years. It's not like you just came
- 22:35Speaker 3: up last week. It's been happening for three years. So
- 22:40Speaker 3: to address it only for two minutes is why I
- 22:43Speaker 3: was disturbed, and I wanted to see some humility from Giselle,
- 22:48Speaker 3: Karen Robin, and Mia to say, it's our job as
- 22:54Speaker 3: life skinned women to listen to really see your point
- 22:58Speaker 3: of view, so that we can see that maybe subconsciously
- 23:03Speaker 3: we are doing something that we didn't know we were doing.
- 23:05Speaker 3: We're not colorists, but maybe our behavior is aligning with that,
- 23:11Speaker 3: and for that we apologize.
- 23:12Speaker 4: But none of that happened, Jasmine, because I.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Think the idea of colorism, and be clear, I'm very
- 23:19Speaker 1: very cautious about assigning anyism to people because I understand
- 23:25Speaker 1: when you're on a reality TV show, we're only getting
- 23:30Speaker 1: little bits and pieces of what has actually occurred, and
- 23:34Speaker 1: I'm not saying that the producers have done this, but
- 23:38Speaker 1: they can edit anyway they want. Now, what they can't
- 23:41Speaker 1: edit is what you are actually doing and actually saying.
- 23:44Speaker 1: But they can splice shit together to make it look
- 23:47Speaker 1: like something like we've seen it over the years.
- 23:49Speaker 2: Right.
- 23:50Speaker 1: And so while they might not come out and say
- 23:53Speaker 1: I am colorists, I think what they could have done
- 23:56Speaker 1: will say I understand how I could be perpetuating colorism.
- 24:00Speaker 2: I recognized that.
- 24:01Speaker 1: My treatment of Wendy when aggressive Mia attacked her was
- 24:08Speaker 1: very different than when I saw Monique and Candice have
- 24:10Speaker 1: a fight. I recognized that I had a different reaction,
- 24:13Speaker 1: and I can understand how that may be perceived as colorism.
- 24:17Speaker 1: I am not a colorist person, but I can understand
- 24:20Speaker 1: one how I benefited from colorism into how I can
- 24:23Speaker 1: perpetuate it.
- 24:24Speaker 2: And had they just said that, I.
- 24:27Speaker 3: Think they need to hire Jasmin Hilly Brown to be
- 24:29Speaker 3: producer and potoma now and listen, I'm not saying that's
- 24:31Speaker 3: a two throw shade. Yeah, and again listen the moment
- 24:35Speaker 3: I saw this podcast, thanks to Jasmine, she and I
- 24:38Speaker 3: had a conversation. I said, as long as I'm honest,
- 24:41Speaker 3: I don't care about what people are going to say
- 24:43Speaker 3: about me, I have to stay within my honesty and
- 24:46Speaker 3: me being genuine. The reason why I said that, Jasmine
- 24:49Speaker 3: about you may be needing to join the production. They're
- 24:53Speaker 3: going to need someone that is able to keep it
- 24:57Speaker 3: real with them, the way you kept it real to
- 24:59Speaker 3: me in our personal relationship, the way you were so
- 25:02Speaker 3: able to like beautifully articulate the messaging of what I
- 25:08Speaker 3: was trying to say. But again, I'm not a dark
- 25:11Speaker 3: skinned black woman, and I have a knowledge that I'm
- 25:15Speaker 3: still learning about my privilege being a light skinned man
- 25:19Speaker 3: and what that brought me in my life.
- 25:22Speaker 4: But I at least will always say I don't know.
- 25:25Speaker 3: I'm here to do better, and it's not my intention
- 25:28Speaker 3: but my behavior, I could do better. And I think
- 25:31Speaker 3: to your point, so wonderfully, that's all we wanted, And
- 25:35Speaker 3: I wish that they had somebody who looks like you,
- 25:38Speaker 3: who has your experience of diversity in life, to be
- 25:42Speaker 3: able to say to them, Hey, I'm going to say
- 25:45Speaker 3: something to y'all that y'all may not like, but this
- 25:47Speaker 3: is going to help you in the long run.
- 25:49Speaker 4: It's one or two things happening. Either no one is
- 25:51Speaker 4: there telling them this, or you.
- 25:53Speaker 3: Girls some of y'all are so egotistical that you don't
- 25:59Speaker 3: want to change. And if you don't change, my fear
- 26:02Speaker 3: is that you guys are in your Real Housewives of
- 26:06Speaker 3: Atlanta era, meaning the latter seasons and what I mean
- 26:08Speaker 3: by that, and this is my opinion.
- 26:10Speaker 4: The show's in trouble. Jasmin was a fan of the
- 26:12Speaker 4: show and said she stopped watching it entirely, and.
- 26:15Speaker 1: I have no plans to go back to watch it. Yeah,
- 26:18Speaker 1: I do want to follow up on a couple of
- 26:20Speaker 1: things you said. One, I did not know that you
- 26:22Speaker 1: consider yourself light skin.
- 26:24Speaker 4: Oh well, let's talk about it.
- 26:26Speaker 2: I was like, okay, I'm rocking, I'm rolling.
- 26:29Speaker 4: No, this was crazy. I as Carlos King, the human being.
- 26:33Speaker 4: I don't.
- 26:34Speaker 2: Okay.
- 26:35Speaker 3: However, some people in the world do. And I had
- 26:40Speaker 3: to learn the true story my.
- 26:42Speaker 4: Man, because I'd be like, yeah, you know, it's a
- 26:44Speaker 4: brown skin.
- 26:45Speaker 3: He said you think you brown? I said I am brown.
- 26:47Speaker 3: He said your light skin. And then I get that
- 26:49Speaker 3: a lot. So to your to your credit, I don't.
- 26:54Speaker 3: The world does. And it's sort of like how Halle
- 26:57Speaker 3: Berry's mother told her, yes, you're by racial, how you're
- 27:00Speaker 3: a black woman, because that's how the world will perceive you.
- 27:03Speaker 3: So that's why I had to all of a sudden
- 27:05Speaker 3: because again I'm listening. I was always told that because
- 27:09Speaker 3: you're not dark skin or dark brown, the world will
- 27:14Speaker 3: look at your skin and say you're light just by
- 27:17Speaker 3: courtesy of you not being a dark skinned man.
- 27:19Speaker 1: I always find conversations around colorism so interesting because I
- 27:24Speaker 1: didn't grow up thinking that being dark was like a
- 27:27Speaker 1: bad thing. I have cousins who are very, very light,
- 27:30Speaker 1: and they always like made fun of each other for
- 27:32Speaker 1: being like really really light. I won't repeat the names
- 27:34Speaker 1: that they've called each other because they're very problematic, but
- 27:38Speaker 1: they always I grew up watching them like torment each
- 27:41Speaker 1: other about being light. And then my mother when I
- 27:44Speaker 1: was growing up, every time I would ask her, like
- 27:46Speaker 1: what her favorite color was, she would be like chocolate brown,
- 27:48Speaker 1: like you right, So like I always grew up with
- 27:51Speaker 1: my skin color being affirm like feeling like I was
- 27:55Speaker 1: so beautiful and so cute, even when I know I
- 27:57Speaker 1: looked awkward because I look back at photos.
- 27:59Speaker 2: I'm like, Mom, I look funny.
- 28:02Speaker 1: She's like, no, you beautiful, Like you always are beautiful, right,
- 28:05Speaker 1: So I've always grown up having kind of my skin
- 28:09Speaker 1: color or whatever affirmed, and so I really didn't understand
- 28:12Speaker 1: that colorism was like a real thing until I want
- 28:14Speaker 1: to say, my teen year. So I do think I
- 28:17Speaker 1: have an advantage in a way of like looking at it,
- 28:19Speaker 1: and I think to some people it is a little naive, because,
- 28:21Speaker 1: like I said, I wouldn't go off the rip and
- 28:23Speaker 1: just accuse all the light skinned women on Potomac of
- 28:26Speaker 1: being colorists. I think that they have displayed colorist views
- 28:31Speaker 1: and they perpetuated colorism, yes, but I think my view
- 28:34Speaker 1: on it is a little different, And it's not to
- 28:36Speaker 1: take away from the experiences, because I know it's not
- 28:38Speaker 1: common right that, like when you're dark skinned to grow
- 28:42Speaker 1: up to be made to feel like you are the
- 28:43Speaker 1: most beautiful person to ever walk the planet.
- 28:45Speaker 2: But my parents made me feel like that.
- 28:48Speaker 1: When I am articulating a message that Giselle and Robin
- 28:51Speaker 1: and Mia and Karen, what they could have said is
- 28:54Speaker 1: coming from a place of like I'm looking at this
- 28:56Speaker 1: with the bird's eye view, and like just say that
- 28:59Speaker 1: you were aware, or you didn't look at it that way,
- 29:03Speaker 1: or you weren't trying.
- 29:04Speaker 2: To be colorist. That's a better way to say it.
- 29:06Speaker 1: Like we all are gonna make mistakes, and we all
- 29:09Speaker 1: perpetuate privileges that we hold also people that don't hold
- 29:14Speaker 1: those those same privileges, And so all you have to
- 29:17Speaker 1: do is just acknowledge that I was perpetuating that, and
- 29:19Speaker 1: I know what it looked like, but that wasn't my attention.
- 29:22Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, And let Wendy throw a drink back
- 29:25Speaker 1: on me, get your on my up.
- 29:27Speaker 2: I can look back, because.
- 29:34Speaker 4: That's how it really is.
- 29:37Speaker 3: So but you said something, and we're gonna wrap things
- 29:39Speaker 3: up though you said that you have no plans on
- 29:43Speaker 3: going back to watch the next season of Potomac, and
- 29:46Speaker 3: I would love to know why.
- 29:48Speaker 2: I am not interested.
- 29:50Speaker 1: None of the kind of discourse on social media has
- 29:53Speaker 1: gotten me interested. It just it feels like there's a
- 29:56Speaker 1: formula right now with specifically with the Real Housewives. There's
- 30:00Speaker 1: a formula, and I don't like what that formula is.
- 30:03Speaker 1: It's like, let's pick and this is if you watch
- 30:07Speaker 1: every city, this is happening across cities. Let's pick one
- 30:10Speaker 1: person this season and try to ruin their fucking lives. Like,
- 30:14Speaker 1: let's pick one person and let's make them regret the day.
- 30:18Speaker 2: They were born.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Type of thing like it might not be that dramatic,
- 30:21Speaker 1: but as a viewer, I'm watching this and I'm just
- 30:24Speaker 1: like every city, there's one person that is like just
- 30:27Speaker 1: having the worst time of it, and it's like it
- 30:29Speaker 1: doesn't feel fun. Like I said, it feels like they're
- 30:32Speaker 1: out to just ruin each other's lives for the sake
- 30:34Speaker 1: of what like being the favorites on a Reddit thread
- 30:37Speaker 1: or being the favorites on social media.
- 30:39Speaker 2: Like it's not that deep.
- 30:40Speaker 1: Just go back to like talking about each other's hair
- 30:43Speaker 1: and like the freaking welcome mats in front of your
- 30:46Speaker 1: doors and pressure washing your houses. Like go back to
- 30:49Speaker 1: that kind of thing, because that is a show that
- 30:52Speaker 1: I will watch.
- 30:53Speaker 3: Married to Media Marriati, Battistan is really the best show
- 30:57Speaker 3: on Bravo.
- 30:57Speaker 4: But I cannot agree with you more.
- 30:59Speaker 3: And that's why, again I have to speak on the
- 31:02Speaker 3: basis of being a producer. That's why I'm very picky
- 31:06Speaker 3: about producers are hire because a lot of the new
- 31:08Speaker 3: producers are fans of the show. And that's fine to
- 31:11Speaker 3: be a fan of of these of these reality shows,
- 31:14Speaker 3: but they want the low hanging fruit. They want the altercation,
- 31:17Speaker 3: they want the constant arguments, and I feel like we
- 31:21Speaker 3: need to get back to what old Atlanta used to be.
- 31:24Speaker 4: When you know you saw Nini talk to her son.
- 31:28Speaker 3: About not living up to you know, being an adult
- 31:32Speaker 3: in the house, you know where you saw even look
- 31:36Speaker 3: no Shay, you saw Kenya have a really special moment
- 31:41Speaker 3: of trying to find her mom in Detroit and knocking
- 31:44Speaker 3: on the doors. That shade for pay is dope in
- 31:47Speaker 3: terms of how you coined it, because I've always said
- 31:51Speaker 3: it's not a shade contest. It's now how can I
- 31:55Speaker 3: eviscerate you verbally? How can I have these one liners?
- 32:00Speaker 3: I can to make a k O T shirt and
- 32:02Speaker 3: sell my merch and it's no longer about relationships. I
- 32:06Speaker 3: don't think you guys understand it's a big deal for
- 32:09Speaker 3: Jasmine to say that she has no interest in watching
- 32:12Speaker 3: Potomac because she and I met on the basis of
- 32:15Speaker 3: like loving that show together.
- 32:17Speaker 4: Yes, and it saddens me to hear that.
- 32:20Speaker 3: But my hope is that the casts who are listening,
- 32:24Speaker 3: I really want y'all to talk about this episode and
- 32:27Speaker 3: to really listen to Jasmine's point of view, because true
- 32:30Speaker 3: t I had no idea what Jasmine was going to say.
- 32:33Speaker 3: I text her yesterday I said his last minute, can
- 32:36Speaker 3: you join me? I don't want to do this by myself.
- 32:38Speaker 3: I would love to do it with you. I am
- 32:41Speaker 3: getting this in real time, what Jasmine is saying. So
- 32:44Speaker 3: this was not like prepped, and unlike y'all, we didn't
- 32:48Speaker 3: have a script. So I really hope, Shade, I really
- 32:51Speaker 3: hope that they listened to you. So what would it
- 32:54Speaker 3: take for you to watch Potomac again?
- 32:58Speaker 2: Unpopular opinion?
- 33:01Speaker 1: Get rid of everyone except Candice?
- 33:07Speaker 4: Not explain?
- 33:10Speaker 1: So Giselle and Robin have the same formula, and they're
- 33:14Speaker 1: not going to give us more than what they've given
- 33:17Speaker 1: us already. I think the last season when we saw
- 33:20Speaker 1: like Gazelle dating, I think his name was Sherman, and
- 33:24Speaker 1: someone brought Sherman's ex and I think that embarrassed Gazelle
- 33:28Speaker 1: so badly. I don't think we're ever getting real storylines
- 33:31Speaker 1: about her love life, which is what people want to see,
- 33:34Speaker 1: because that's that's where you know, the most drama lies
- 33:37Speaker 1: for her. That's the thing when people want to come
- 33:39Speaker 1: for Gazelle, that's what you don't have a man. You
- 33:41Speaker 1: can't keep a man, right. We want to see her date,
- 33:44Speaker 1: and you know, we want to see the ups and
- 33:46Speaker 1: downs of that. But she's not going to give us that,
- 33:48Speaker 1: so she's gone because of that. While I do as
- 33:51Speaker 1: a reality TV personality, Gizelle is good. If she was
- 33:55Speaker 1: willing to like not be such a this one note character,
- 33:59Speaker 1: she was going to give us real shit, Giselle could say.
- 34:02Speaker 2: But she's not, so she can go.
- 34:03Speaker 4: Robin.
- 34:04Speaker 1: I used to call Robin Robin paint dry Dixon because
- 34:09Speaker 1: I just wasn't entertained. Now what I've heard though, is
- 34:12Speaker 1: that this year she has been bringing it. But for me,
- 34:16Speaker 1: it's too little, too late. Now I know all the
- 34:18Speaker 1: things are happening. I know I'm never I'm never gonna
- 34:21Speaker 1: work in this town again.
- 34:25Speaker 4: No, that's the gag.
- 34:26Speaker 3: Because of that, you are going to mark if that's
- 34:30Speaker 3: the gag.
- 34:32Speaker 1: I think for Robin, she has these things going on
- 34:35Speaker 1: with Want's case and like him cheating and.
- 34:38Speaker 2: All of that.
- 34:38Speaker 1: I feel like this is not the stuff that's going
- 34:40Speaker 1: on with Want's case, but the cheating in the marriage.
- 34:42Speaker 1: I feel like that's kind of a last ditch effort.
- 34:46Speaker 1: But I just I don't believe it. I don't feel it.
- 34:48Speaker 1: I just don't really see it. For Robin, I never
- 34:50Speaker 1: have to be honest, that's my bias showing. Like she said,
- 34:53Speaker 1: she she doesn't like Wendy. That's why she wasn't defending
- 34:55Speaker 1: why I don't enjoy Robin as a character on the show.
- 34:58Speaker 1: So she can go for me, she could to have
- 35:01Speaker 1: gone a long time ago. Mia can go. I don't
- 35:06Speaker 1: need to say too much more about that, but Mia, bye, sweetie.
- 35:12Speaker 1: I genuinely think that Wendy is an amazing person, and
- 35:16Speaker 1: I think she's so smart, she is beautiful. I just
- 35:18Speaker 1: think reality TV is gonna push Wendy to a place
- 35:21Speaker 1: that she's not gonna be able to recover from in
- 35:23Speaker 1: terms of like who she really wants to be in
- 35:26Speaker 1: this world. And so for that reason, I think she
- 35:28Speaker 1: could go. It's not that I don't enjoy her, but
- 35:30Speaker 1: I think she wants to be perceived as something that
- 35:34Speaker 1: reality TV is not going to allow her to be. Karen, listen,
- 35:40Speaker 1: I love the Grandame, but she can go for me.
- 35:43Speaker 2: She can go.
- 35:44Speaker 1: She's en daring, but it's not giving iconic and legendary
- 35:48Speaker 1: like it was the first couple of seasons. Karen has
- 35:50Speaker 1: done what she needed to do for this franchise, and
- 35:52Speaker 1: she can bow out gracefully. That's where I'm going with
- 35:55Speaker 1: Karen and who is left Ashley forgot about her too,
- 36:00Speaker 1: you know what, I take that back, actually, because we
- 36:03Speaker 1: love a good train wreck Candace and Ashley can say
- 36:07Speaker 1: because Ashley, I need to. I think there's a lot
- 36:11Speaker 1: more there with Ashley's story, and I think Ashley is
- 36:15Speaker 1: also very inauthentic in the way she shows up on
- 36:18Speaker 1: the show as well. But I do think that there
- 36:21Speaker 1: is a lot more to go with her story and
- 36:24Speaker 1: her children and stuff like that. So I think keep Candace,
- 36:26Speaker 1: keep Ashley, get some more like older women, because I
- 36:29Speaker 1: realized Candace Ashley are very young and like housewives speak,
- 36:33Speaker 1: So maybe we get some other older women to and
- 36:37Speaker 1: build a cast around that. But you're the executive producer,
- 36:40Speaker 1: what do you think of my analysis?
- 36:47Speaker 3: I really need to think about this because I will
- 36:49Speaker 3: say this prior to you saying that this is why
- 36:52Speaker 3: I love you, because you and I always think of
- 36:55Speaker 3: like I did say, Giselle is never ever, ever, ever
- 37:00Speaker 3: bringing on a man she loves on the show anymore
- 37:04Speaker 3: after Sherman, I said, after Sherman that was heartbreaking for
- 37:08Speaker 3: her because I was told behind the scenes Giselle was
- 37:12Speaker 3: really in love with Sherman like really in love with him,
- 37:16Speaker 3: and he left allegedly because he said, oh I'm a baby,
- 37:23Speaker 3: I ain't doing this, it ain't worth it, so he left.
- 37:25Speaker 3: So I agree with you there. I've always said I
- 37:27Speaker 3: think it's Ashley's time to go. I really want to
- 37:30Speaker 3: think about the rest up until you said that, I
- 37:33Speaker 3: only said let Ashley go, and I said, I only
- 37:36Speaker 3: think Robin should stay on the show, only ever getting
- 37:39Speaker 3: every single thing.
- 37:40Speaker 4: Between her and Wan.
- 37:42Speaker 3: Wan must film, He must come to the reunion like
- 37:46Speaker 3: he must give us all day.
- 37:47Speaker 4: If he's not, Robie can go.
- 37:49Speaker 3: And the thing with Giselle, who I love, Giselle's gonna
- 37:52Speaker 3: have to change. Gazelle's going to have to take off
- 37:55Speaker 3: her producer hat and give us some ulnerable moments. Do
- 37:59Speaker 3: I think Gisel is in love? That went the house guy?
- 38:02Speaker 4: No?
- 38:02Speaker 1: When I saw that, I said, stop playing in my face,
- 38:06Speaker 1: Please stop playing with me. And what reality we talked
- 38:09Speaker 1: about this before when it was Heather and Gina hanging out,
- 38:13Speaker 1: And what reality does that matchup actually happen and actually work?
- 38:17Speaker 1: And what reality does Gisel Bryant, Giselle Kobe Bryant work
- 38:25Speaker 1: hang out with this man and be.
- 38:28Speaker 2: In a serious relationship and love him.
- 38:30Speaker 1: When Giselle told us a couple of seasons ago what
- 38:32Speaker 1: she likes, I think she said, a dark skinned man,
- 38:35Speaker 1: hung like a horse, lots of money.
- 38:39Speaker 2: That man is not chocolate.
- 38:42Speaker 1: I don't know what his Genna Telia looks like, but
- 38:44Speaker 1: what I can tell you from the looks of it,
- 38:47Speaker 1: it doesn't look like he has the coin for Giselle.
- 38:49Speaker 2: And that's no shade to him. He's a young man,
- 38:51Speaker 2: though he's a you.
- 38:53Speaker 1: His money isn't long enough for what I think Giselle
- 38:55Speaker 1: is kind of requiring. Now, Giselle has just gotten to
- 38:58Speaker 1: the point in her life where she's like, look, I'm
- 39:00Speaker 1: trying to have some fun. I'm trying to wear my
- 39:02Speaker 1: whistle from time to time. Okay, that's believable to me,
- 39:06Speaker 1: but not as a serious contender, like stop playing me
- 39:09Speaker 1: with that.
- 39:09Speaker 4: No, that was the thing.
- 39:10Speaker 3: It was like, stop again. Gizelle likes a dark skinned man,
- 39:14Speaker 3: she said out her own mouth. And the other thing
- 39:16Speaker 3: Jasmine said, So that's why Potomac, to me, is in trouble,
- 39:20Speaker 3: because they're going to have to have truly a real
- 39:24Speaker 3: sit down about what they're willing to give. And based
- 39:27Speaker 3: upon that Jasmine is when I would say, as a producer,
- 39:30Speaker 3: you can stay, you.
- 39:31Speaker 4: Can go, you can go.
- 39:33Speaker 3: I think whose job are safe is Candace and Wendy
- 39:36Speaker 3: because I think Candice and Wendy are willing to give
- 39:39Speaker 3: everything to the show, and I feel like they want to,
- 39:42Speaker 3: but they're working with women who want to just have
- 39:46Speaker 3: one storyline of how can we embarrass you the most?
- 39:52Speaker 3: And people are over it. So you heard it here
- 39:54Speaker 3: from Jasmine and Carlos. In order to make Potomac great again,
- 39:58Speaker 3: Let's just say a lot of changes are going to have.
- 40:02Speaker 1: To be made in order to make Potomac great again.
- 40:05Speaker 1: You got to make Potomac real again.
- 40:07Speaker 4: And there you have it.
