1:35
Speaker 2: has been balance of life. My mom called me today
1:39
Speaker 2: and she was like, hey, what you doing for She
1:41
Speaker 2: called me twice and I was on a zoom call
1:44
Speaker 2: with my assistant and I answered and I'm like, hey, mam,
1:46
Speaker 2: you alright And she was like, yeah, I'm fine, what
1:48
Speaker 2: you're doing. You don't call me no more? And I'm like,
1:51
Speaker 2: that's the third time. She told me that this week
1:53
Speaker 2: and the way I'm set up with my mom and
1:55
Speaker 2: my grandmam, I talk to them every single day. If
1:57
Speaker 2: they don't hear from me, they're like, what the hell
2:00
Speaker 2: is going on? Sometimes my grandmother will be like, oh,
2:02
Speaker 2: she's busy, So she'll call my mom and be like, oh,
2:04
Speaker 2: did you talk to Lolo? That's my family nickname, So
2:05
Speaker 2: y'all family now, because y'all don't y'all know my nickname.
2:09
Speaker 2: She'd be like, hey, have you talked the Lolo? And
2:10
Speaker 2: my mom will tell her like, oh, yeah, I talk
2:12
Speaker 2: to her. She was doing such and such and such
2:14
Speaker 2: and such. So my grandma would just let it rock
2:16
Speaker 2: because she's like, yo, you're running around, you doing so much.
2:18
Speaker 2: My mom ain't letting nothing rock at all. She want
2:22
Speaker 2: all the smoke. She wants to talk to me every day.
2:23
Speaker 2: She wants to know why she's not talking to me
2:25
Speaker 2: every day. She wants to know, you know, if I'm
2:27
Speaker 2: doing all this work, am I being paid with the coin?
2:30
Speaker 2: Looking like baby Lois? That's my mom's name. She don't
2:34
Speaker 2: play no games at all. But I think, you know,
2:37
Speaker 2: I've been thinking a lot about today, just feeling kind
2:39
Speaker 2: of guilty for that, and guilty for the fact that
2:43
Speaker 2: just within his last two weeks, my time, this last
2:45
Speaker 2: couple of months, my time has changed because I'm getting
2:48
Speaker 2: busier and things are moving, and I just wanted to
2:51
Speaker 2: be moved slow about it and take on one project
2:54
Speaker 2: at a time and then bring other things in. And
2:56
Speaker 2: then now everything kind of hit at once. Everything I
2:58
Speaker 2: was slowly taking on that one time. It's like it's
3:00
Speaker 2: all it's all on the table, and we ain't even
3:02
Speaker 2: nothing on the table. We ain't living, no money on
3:04
Speaker 2: the table. So you know, I'm here and I'm doing it.
3:07
Speaker 2: But I'm not able to go home to Delaware and
3:10
Speaker 2: just sit and play cards and eat crabs with my
3:13
Speaker 2: grandmom as much as I was before. I can't sit
3:15
Speaker 2: on the phone on the phone all day with my
3:17
Speaker 2: mom as much as I was doing before. And I
3:19
Speaker 2: know that they have such a dependency on me, especially
3:22
Speaker 2: because I'm my mom and my grandmother's caretaker. So even
3:25
Speaker 2: though I don't live in Delaware, me my brother, we
3:28
Speaker 2: make sure that they're straight, they're older, they've both gone
3:30
Speaker 2: through health stuff, so there is a really strong dependency there,
3:34
Speaker 2: especially because of their age, but especially because you know,
3:37
Speaker 2: like medically. They've just been through things where it's helping
3:41
Speaker 2: that we me and my brother know more than they
3:43
Speaker 2: do right now. So you know, I'm making sure you know,
3:48
Speaker 2: they're eating how they're supposed to eat. They got help
3:50
Speaker 2: in the home. The homes are being cleaned and all
3:54
Speaker 2: that good stuff, even when I can't be there. So
3:56
Speaker 2: that's that's what I've been figuring out so much of.
3:58
Speaker 2: But you know, just feeling guilty and I can't show
4:00
Speaker 2: up and do those things myself anymore. As much as
4:02
Speaker 2: I used to cooking the dinner, hanging out, just playing cards,
4:05
Speaker 2: just chilling. I'd rather be there and get yelled at
4:08
Speaker 2: about not spend enough time than being asked when are
4:10
Speaker 2: you coming back, and it's like, oh my god, and yeah.
4:14
Speaker 2: So when my mom called me and said that today,
4:15
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I was feeling good because today
4:18
Speaker 2: was my first day. We're all like up. It energized
4:20
Speaker 2: and I slept early last night. And then she called
4:22
Speaker 2: me and I'm like, but it's still not enough. I
4:24
Speaker 2: gotta figure out the balance of life now and work.
4:29
Speaker 2: So personally, that's some of the things that I, you know, today,
4:32
Speaker 2: have been dealing with. But I am more refreshed, so
4:34
Speaker 2: at least I have the clear space of mine to
4:35
Speaker 2: do so, so I thank God for that. But we
4:38
Speaker 2: gonna get on into some stories. It's Laura l Rosa.
4:41
Speaker 2: This is the latest with Laura l Rosa. And you
4:44
Speaker 2: guys know, despite whatever is happening in my life, whether
4:47
Speaker 2: I'm figuring out family, work, whatever, I'm always gonna be
4:51
Speaker 2: the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and
4:53
Speaker 2: everybody and what I don't know, baby, I will pick
4:55
Speaker 2: up the phone, reach out and figure it out. Okay,
4:57
Speaker 2: so let's get on into some things up. First, I
5:01
Speaker 2: wanted to talk about Real Housewives of Atlanta, and I
5:04
Speaker 2: just fresh off of watching the new episode of Real
5:07
Speaker 2: Housewives of Atlanta. The episode is called is titled about
5:11
Speaker 2: last Night. Now, for those of you guys who are
5:14
Speaker 2: Real Housewives fans, you'll know that we were waiting, all
5:17
Speaker 2: of the Real Housewives of Atlanta fans were waiting for this
5:20
Speaker 2: episode because this is the episode that is Kenya Moore's
5:25
Speaker 2: last episode for season sixteen, unless well for season sixteen
5:29
Speaker 2: for sure and potentially in the franchise, unless she decides
5:33
Speaker 2: to come back or they allow her back, like we
5:34
Speaker 2: still don't know the answer to that. So on about
5:37
Speaker 2: last night this episode. The main focus of this episode
5:41
Speaker 2: news wise has been the fact that this was Kenya
5:43
Speaker 2: Moore's last episode for the season. The reason why this
5:46
Speaker 2: was our last episode is because Kenyamore opened the Kenyamore Hairspot.
5:51
Speaker 2: She owned Kenya Moore hair care product line and decided
5:54
Speaker 2: to put it in the actual hairspot in Atlanta where
5:57
Speaker 2: you could come get your hair done. You know, all
5:59
Speaker 2: the all the spa things, but it's all based around
6:02
Speaker 2: her product. So during this episode and at the opening
6:06
Speaker 2: of that spa, her and another girl from the show,
6:09
Speaker 2: a girl named Brittany who is a newcomer to the show.
6:12
Speaker 2: Y'all know, Kenya Moore is a OG. She's been there
6:14
Speaker 2: since the original Real Housewives of Atlanta days, back when
6:17
Speaker 2: Nini was there and all that good of stuff. So
6:19
Speaker 2: of course, when you are the OG on a you know,
6:21
Speaker 2: a show, a reality show like Real Housewives, the new
6:23
Speaker 2: girls gotta come for you. It's kind of like a
6:25
Speaker 2: rite of passage. It shows how they can hang or
6:27
Speaker 2: if they can't, you know what I'm saying, And it
6:29
Speaker 2: also can elevate their peach or lack thereof. So they're
6:34
Speaker 2: at the hairspot opening, and Kenya and this girl, Brittany
6:37
Speaker 2: have actually had a very weird exchange the episode prior
6:42
Speaker 2: the episode prior that at this like special dinner thing,
6:45
Speaker 2: and you know, they kind of get into it over
6:47
Speaker 2: a question that was asked her on like a round
6:49
Speaker 2: table type game, and you know, Brittany begins to talk
6:53
Speaker 2: about when they're leaving out after they've gotten into a
6:55
Speaker 2: Brittany mentions like a pistol and some whips that she
6:57
Speaker 2: owned that she you know, she still be packing and
7:00
Speaker 2: ken you like in her head like, well, who were
7:02
Speaker 2: you talking to? Cause if me and you just got
7:04
Speaker 2: into it and now you're talking about a little pistol
7:06
Speaker 2: one plus one equals too. So what we're saying right now,
7:09
Speaker 2: how a were giving it up? And of course now
7:12
Speaker 2: these you know, the Real Housewives of Atlanta, the real Housewics
7:14
Speaker 2: of anywhere. These girls gonna get on into it. But
7:16
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, these are girls with brands, businesses, kids,
7:20
Speaker 2: coin They not trying to get into all of that.
7:23
Speaker 2: When you get to that point where you talk about
7:24
Speaker 2: pulling out a pistol and all that, people are worried
7:27
Speaker 2: about their actual safety. They gonna do what they need
7:30
Speaker 2: to do to protect that. So when I saw the
7:32
Speaker 2: the episode prior to this and I saw Kenye's reaction,
7:35
Speaker 2: I'm like, I wonder why Kenya didn't, like, I don't know,
7:38
Speaker 2: anything like legal protection, like involving a lawyer or something,
7:42
Speaker 2: because that's a very like Housewives boss move bringing attorneys
7:46
Speaker 2: and figure out like something like a ceasing desister to
7:49
Speaker 2: try to get her to not film because she felt
7:51
Speaker 2: threatened something like that. Mind you, if that had happened,
7:54
Speaker 2: we'd have been known by now, because all of this
7:56
Speaker 2: stuff was filmed last summer. So keep that little nugget
7:59
Speaker 2: in your back pocket. Backpocket's back here, Keep that little
8:01
Speaker 2: nugget in your back pocket. So then in this new episode,
8:06
Speaker 2: to me, I feel like you get a better understanding
8:11
Speaker 2: of Brittany. And not to say that what Brittany said
8:13
Speaker 2: to Kenya about you know, having a pistore or packing
8:16
Speaker 2: a pistol or whatever, you know what I mean, whatever
8:18
Speaker 2: the situation was going to be about that. But what
8:20
Speaker 2: I'm saying is that you kind of see her be like, Okay,
8:23
Speaker 2: look I got a lot going on in life right now.
8:26
Speaker 2: She mentioned she just lost her aunt to a stroke,
8:30
Speaker 2: and the show happened out of nowhere, and then all
8:32
Speaker 2: of a sudden, her aunt was on like life support,
8:34
Speaker 2: and then you know her aunt had passed away, and
8:37
Speaker 2: you know, she's just like, y'all, I was wrong. I
8:39
Speaker 2: was wrong. I want to apologize, Like, I get it.
8:43
Speaker 2: I understand why she would be upset. I understand why
8:45
Speaker 2: she would feel threatened, even if I didn't mean it
8:47
Speaker 2: like I'm about to pull my pistol out. I get it.
8:49
Speaker 2: I understand. I'm a woman, blah blah blah like all
8:51
Speaker 2: that stuff. So that's happening on one side of the
8:55
Speaker 2: of the production site, right, But then on the other side,
8:58
Speaker 2: Kenya is like, no oh, I felt through her and
9:01
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to hear that. And maybe that's why
9:05
Speaker 2: Kenya reacted the way she did in this episode, because
9:08
Speaker 2: what she ended up doing because the network, you know,
9:11
Speaker 2: honestly got to a point where the network did retaliate
9:14
Speaker 2: after these last two not retaliate, the network did react
9:18
Speaker 2: after these last two episodes, but instead of Brittany, who
9:21
Speaker 2: mentioned having the pistol or whatever, doing anything, I mean
9:25
Speaker 2: anything happening with her, they decided to let Kenya go.
9:28
Speaker 2: They let Kenya go because Kenya during these spots, Salon
9:32
Speaker 2: opening after Brittany walks out because she's annoyed that Brittany
9:36
Speaker 2: even comes there. So Brittany walks out and Kenya starts
9:39
Speaker 2: showing these like poster presentations. The first there's three of them.
9:46
Speaker 2: The first one she shows, it's like every single time
9:48
Speaker 2: she brings out one of it gets worse and worse.
9:49
Speaker 2: First one she shows it is her talking about, you know,
9:53
Speaker 2: who was this girl? Who was Brittany because you know
9:56
Speaker 2: she's I guess had a lot of plastic surgery to
9:58
Speaker 2: her face allegedly, and you know those type of things.
10:00
Speaker 2: So there's all of the photos of the before and
10:03
Speaker 2: after type of vibe. Then the second one it's like,
10:06
Speaker 2: you know, I'm there must be a photos of Brittany
10:10
Speaker 2: in like these alleged music videos, and Kenya's like, oh,
10:13
Speaker 2: she was a video ho see, I was a video girl.
10:15
Speaker 2: This is Kenya. I was a video girl. I got
10:17
Speaker 2: paid for the videos. I was a video vix and
10:19
Speaker 2: we know, like we've seen Kenya and like jay Z's
10:22
Speaker 2: videos and stuff like that, but she basically was seeing
10:24
Speaker 2: like girl, you was low budget, Like you can't sit
10:26
Speaker 2: with me. I'm the queen. Period. Then the third poster,
10:30
Speaker 2: baby Kenya brings out this poster with this girl and
10:33
Speaker 2: these photos of this girl on there. Y'all know that
10:35
Speaker 2: this girl is on there. She was putting a man's
10:38
Speaker 2: private partner, her Monde. And again, all of this we
10:41
Speaker 2: knew about because it was such a big deal because
10:43
Speaker 2: basically the network looked at this as Kenya releasing revenge porn,
10:48
Speaker 2: which is a crime, and they had to fire, and
10:50
Speaker 2: not fire, they had to suspend Kenya for the rest
10:52
Speaker 2: of the season. So after this episode she no longer
10:54
Speaker 2: filmed whatsoever. Now after so, I've been reporting on this
11:00
Speaker 2: a ton, a whole ton, And when it first came out,
11:04
Speaker 2: Kenya like really played as if she I don't know,
11:08
Speaker 2: like it was weird. It was almost like as if
11:10
Speaker 2: she was saying she didn't do or didn't like she
11:12
Speaker 2: was posting things like believe half of what you see
11:15
Speaker 2: and none of what you hear something like that, like
11:17
Speaker 2: kind of giving it up, like like maybe the story
11:19
Speaker 2: might have been spun not to her benefit in the
11:22
Speaker 2: wrong way that made her look, you know, crazier, and
11:24
Speaker 2: made the situation look crazier than it was. After watching this,
11:27
Speaker 2: there's nowhey around what she chose to do. Like even
11:30
Speaker 2: in the episode Porsche walks out, a lot of the
11:31
Speaker 2: girls walk out because they're like, yo, bro, you took
11:34
Speaker 2: it too far. And she's doing it at the spot opening.
11:36
Speaker 2: It's like you in here talking about you both this
11:38
Speaker 2: for your daughter, this is something for you to pass
11:40
Speaker 2: down to your daughter, and blah blah blah, and then
11:42
Speaker 2: you do this here and she's saying that, like, you know,
11:44
Speaker 2: she felt right, and she felt like somebody was coming
11:46
Speaker 2: for her, trying to take food out of her daughter's mouth.
11:48
Speaker 2: It was a bit much for me. I'm not even
11:50
Speaker 2: gonna lie to y'all, it was a bit much for me.
11:52
Speaker 2: Andy Cohen has come out and reacted to it, and
11:54
Speaker 2: Kenya was not happy about that. Kenya had a very
11:58
Speaker 2: lengthy message from Andy Cohen in response to what he
12:02
Speaker 2: had to say and the fact that there is a hole.
12:04
Speaker 2: There's a whole Justice for Kenya movement happening right now
12:07
Speaker 2: from the Real Housewives of Atlanta fans. They feel like
12:09
Speaker 2: Kenya was unjustly suspended, and there's other people who feel like,
12:13
Speaker 2: you know, even if she was gonna be suspended, there
12:15
Speaker 2: should have been more action taken against Brittany because this
12:18
Speaker 2: was a reaction to something. But we're gonna talk about
12:21
Speaker 2: that nugget. We're gonna talk about Indy Cowen's response to
12:23
Speaker 2: whether that was right or wrong on the Breakfast Club.
12:25
Speaker 2: But back to what we're talking about here, I think
12:27
Speaker 2: it was too much. I do. I get it. I
12:29
Speaker 2: get the antics of the show. I understand, you know
12:32
Speaker 2: how the antics rub up your character, rub up your
12:35
Speaker 2: you know, your positioning on the show, and you know,
12:37
Speaker 2: you got the peach and you're the O G girl,
12:39
Speaker 2: whether you don't have the peach or not, or like
12:41
Speaker 2: you know, I understand all of that stuff. But I
12:43
Speaker 2: just think at this point, Kenya has been doing this
12:46
Speaker 2: for a really long time. I think that one of
12:49
Speaker 2: the things that Kenya should know boy now is that
12:52
Speaker 2: you gotta protect the brand by any means. And I
12:56
Speaker 2: think she thought she was protecting the brand by being
12:58
Speaker 2: the person that like came on on top and like
13:00
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, like I'm gonna go low
13:02
Speaker 2: because you went low, I'm gonna go lower. But it
13:04
Speaker 2: didn't make her look good. Like I was watching it,
13:06
Speaker 2: and I'm like, it's not even given, like clap back,
13:10
Speaker 2: Oh you did that, Kenya, it's given, girl, you look
13:12
Speaker 2: dumb as hell. Kenya let that girl trick her out
13:15
Speaker 2: her spot. Hate that for Kenya, but what's done is done.
13:19
Speaker 2: I do think that there should have been something and
13:21
Speaker 2: I don't know if there was a conversations behind the
13:23
Speaker 2: scenes or what, but like, I do think it's weird
13:24
Speaker 2: that somebody can mention they got a pistol after you
13:26
Speaker 2: just got done arguing with them and like just carry
13:28
Speaker 2: on about their business. That is kind of crazy. One
13:30
Speaker 2: hundred percent. That is crazy, y'all. Let me know how
13:33
Speaker 2: y'all feel. If y'all have been following this situation with
13:36
Speaker 2: Kenya Moore and Brittany from the Real Housewives of Atlanta,
13:39
Speaker 2: do you feel like Kenya should have been suspended and
13:41
Speaker 2: definitely for the rest of the season. They haven't said
13:45
Speaker 2: that she can't come back, but there has been no
13:47
Speaker 2: announcement about her coming back, y'all. I mean, I know
13:50
Speaker 2: I want her back, but do y'all think she's gonna
13:53
Speaker 2: actually want to come back? Because there's also the conversation
13:56
Speaker 2: now spiraling that you know that Candy has started and
13:59
Speaker 2: about the network just not protecting their stars Normally, my
14:03
Speaker 2: girl can tour on tour on Twirl and you know
14:05
Speaker 2: what I mean, Clocket, But that was a really big
14:08
Speaker 2: misstep on her part. It just doesn't look good. It
14:10
Speaker 2: doesn't re well off of the show. I wonder how
14:13
Speaker 2: it has affected her off of the show with like
14:15
Speaker 2: brand deals and endorsements and things of that nature. Yeah,
14:18
Speaker 2: so y'all let me know what y'all think. All right,
14:24
Speaker 2: So second story, we now are gonna go to Lizzo.
14:28
Speaker 2: So Lizzo has been, you know, moving around. She's been
14:31
Speaker 2: sitting down with different people having conversations about her recent
14:35
Speaker 2: weight loss. She lost a ton of weight. If y'all
14:37
Speaker 2: have not seen Lizzo in recent I would say like
14:41
Speaker 2: recent weeks. It's been like a couple months now, but
14:43
Speaker 2: in recent weeks, please go take a look at Lizzo.
14:46
Speaker 2: She looks amazing. But one of the biggest things that
14:48
Speaker 2: she's been having conversations about, uh, you know, when it
14:52
Speaker 2: comes to like change and things and how they've affected
14:54
Speaker 2: her life differently, the changes is her mental and how
14:59
Speaker 2: she dealt with her mental health after wanting to commit
15:01
Speaker 2: suicide and things just being in a very dark place
15:03
Speaker 2: for her. So she was on the J. S. Shetty podcast.
15:07
Speaker 2: I love this podcast, by the way, I feel like
15:08
Speaker 2: they sit and they have really in depth conversations. And
15:11
Speaker 2: I watched the conversation in Fuol. I do think that
15:13
Speaker 2: there are parts of it where I was like, okay,
15:16
Speaker 2: little girl. And earlier when I watched it and I
15:19
Speaker 2: used the word insufferable, I was like a little bit
15:21
Speaker 2: of this was like all right, girl. But I think
15:24
Speaker 2: it's because maybe I'm hearing her tell the same stories
15:27
Speaker 2: multiple times over and over and over. I don't know,
15:29
Speaker 2: but what I could appreciate, let's talk about that. What
15:31
Speaker 2: I could appreciate from this conversation was the honesty, and
15:35
Speaker 2: she got really honest about Okay. So she retold the
15:37
Speaker 2: story about when she was out in La at the concert.
15:40
Speaker 2: And this was right after all that lawsuit stuff had
15:43
Speaker 2: draws when you know, her employees claimed that she was
15:45
Speaker 2: like a horrible boss and that she'd allegedly been calling
15:48
Speaker 2: people fat and just been really evil and nasty toward
15:51
Speaker 2: the people that were working with her. And I remember
15:54
Speaker 2: when that lawsuit dropped, she had spoke. I think she
15:57
Speaker 2: released like one statement, but she didn't really say much
16:00
Speaker 2: and you didn't really see her like nothing like at all.
16:04
Speaker 2: And Lizo was so hot, like Lizo was everywhere with
16:07
Speaker 2: that damn flute in neswork everywhere, big brands all over her,
16:12
Speaker 2: like you know what I mean, performing all the time,
16:15
Speaker 2: and it was like everything kind of just like simmered
16:17
Speaker 2: down and she kind of went away. And then it
16:19
Speaker 2: got to a point where she started posting things that
16:21
Speaker 2: were very dark on Instagram, like and it happened a
16:24
Speaker 2: couple of times where she would post things and it
16:25
Speaker 2: would make people be like yo, she alright, like she
16:28
Speaker 2: talking about she wontn't be here no more type vibes,
16:30
Speaker 2: like what's going on? And you just knew she wasn't okay.
16:34
Speaker 2: She talked about during that time, just she had already scheduled,
16:38
Speaker 2: because that's just how business works. When you're in music.
16:42
Speaker 2: There's a time when you're really really really really on
16:44
Speaker 2: and you're going, you're going, you're performing, the music is
16:47
Speaker 2: out your press, you're pressed, and then there's a time
16:48
Speaker 2: where you got to make the music to then make
16:51
Speaker 2: the money to go go go to perform, to do
16:53
Speaker 2: the press to you know what I mean. So she
16:55
Speaker 2: was in her phase of like I'm taking a step back,
16:58
Speaker 2: I'm going I'm secluding myself. We're making the music, and
17:01
Speaker 2: then all of the lawsuit, allegation things dropped, so she
17:05
Speaker 2: had already decided to kind of go, you know, out
17:07
Speaker 2: of the country a little mia all those things. But
17:11
Speaker 2: I think that it made it look crazier. Even though,
17:14
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, if I'm being real honest,
17:16
Speaker 2: and I've been doing this for a while, when allegations
17:19
Speaker 2: and stuff come out against people you kind of know,
17:21
Speaker 2: and you get the sense when people are like not
17:24
Speaker 2: going to be able to recover from it. Fully, I
17:26
Speaker 2: didn't think that Lizzo was completely done. I did think
17:29
Speaker 2: that it was going to be difficult for her to
17:31
Speaker 2: come back out of it because she was going to
17:34
Speaker 2: have to address it. And again, Lizzo was the fun, bubbly,
17:38
Speaker 2: flute twerking front. I never realized that. At no point
17:44
Speaker 2: in Lizzo's career am I ever seeing her sit down
17:46
Speaker 2: and do hard interviews, not in like a controversial the
17:50
Speaker 2: world doesn't like you, so now you guys some of
17:52
Speaker 2: this podcast and bury your soul, you know what I mean,
17:55
Speaker 2: and feed the media different things so that you can
17:57
Speaker 2: rebut headlines. Never that. I just didn't know how she
18:00
Speaker 2: would come up on the other side of that because
18:02
Speaker 2: of the way that her brand had been set up,
18:04
Speaker 2: and when she was on Jay Shutty, she said the
18:07
Speaker 2: reason why she had gotten in such that dark space
18:10
Speaker 2: was because the brand that I'm telling you all about
18:13
Speaker 2: the way that I just explained how I looked at her,
18:15
Speaker 2: where everything was basically so curated, so perfect, so jolly,
18:18
Speaker 2: so fun, so music. It was a caricature. And when
18:23
Speaker 2: that lawsuit happened and she didn't have the friends that
18:27
Speaker 2: she thought she had around her, and a lot of
18:29
Speaker 2: people she loved around her were not good people and
18:32
Speaker 2: things were happening, she couldn't live in that character anymore
18:35
Speaker 2: because now it doesn't work because now you have all
18:37
Speaker 2: these claims true or not, their allegations, but now they're
18:40
Speaker 2: out there and people want answers. People want to know, like, yo,
18:43
Speaker 2: what's going on? It this really happened. Please go listen
18:46
Speaker 2: to Lizzle on J Shetty podcast. It was a really
18:47
Speaker 2: good conversation. She says she didn't know what to do
18:49
Speaker 2: at that point because she could not be the character anymore.
18:52
Speaker 2: So it forced her to really take the time to
18:55
Speaker 2: go away and to figure out who the hell she was,
18:59
Speaker 2: and that is my prayer every single day. I did
19:01
Speaker 2: an interview with Carlos King. Make sure you guys gonna
19:04
Speaker 2: check out that interview with me and Carlos King. It
19:06
Speaker 2: is now live on his YouTube channel. But I said
19:09
Speaker 2: that in my interview, and that's I felt litzough when
19:12
Speaker 2: she said this, Like I would. I every day I
19:14
Speaker 2: pray to God, like, yo, just keep me doing the work,
19:16
Speaker 2: like I don't wanna get caught up in the the
19:19
Speaker 2: it to Lauren la Rosa, like it's it's cause it's
19:22
Speaker 2: not that for me. For me, it's like, Yo, this
19:23
Speaker 2: is work. I take it serious. This is how I
19:25
Speaker 2: feed myself, this is how I'm able to help my family.
19:28
Speaker 2: It's cool. I love storytelling. It's a passion, you know
19:31
Speaker 2: what I mean, It's a God given gift and a
19:33
Speaker 2: passion to be able to do what I'm doing and
19:35
Speaker 2: tell stories. But I don't ever want to do it
19:39
Speaker 2: through a character like I wanna just really be out here,
19:42
Speaker 2: I mean a little guarded a bit like I'm learning
19:44
Speaker 2: how to you know what I mean, Like keep a
19:46
Speaker 2: couple of things to myself, but give y'all me for real,
19:49
Speaker 2: and and and intertwine to work and still be able
19:52
Speaker 2: to like keep going off of that, because when you
19:54
Speaker 2: lose the character, like you lose everything. I don't want that,
19:57
Speaker 2: and that's what happened with Lizzo, And Lizzo says that
20:01
Speaker 2: like during that time, because it was so dark for her,
20:03
Speaker 2: she was dark and other people saw that. There's no
20:08
Speaker 2: way that other people didn't see that. She talked about
20:10
Speaker 2: social media and how social media like, really, you know
20:13
Speaker 2: what I mean, you start to have these thoughts of
20:15
Speaker 2: yourself based on what other people are saying that social media,
20:18
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. The stuff is that's a
20:20
Speaker 2: whole different beasts of its own. And like she says,
20:22
Speaker 2: there were days where she was like, girl, just kill yourself.
20:25
Speaker 2: Won't nobody care? They hate you right now anyway, So
20:28
Speaker 2: she had to really build herself back up away from
20:32
Speaker 2: Lizzo with the flute in the music. It's a really
20:34
Speaker 2: great conversation. Please go take a watch. It's on the
20:37
Speaker 2: j Shaddy podcast. Yeah, let me know what resonates with
