- 0:37Speaker 2: It has been confirmed that married to medicine star Quad
- 0:42Speaker 2: and her boyfriend King are officially broken up.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Okay.
- 0:48Speaker 2: News came out yesterday because King, who I just found
- 0:53Speaker 2: out today through quat statement. His name is Kirk, not
- 0:56Speaker 2: to be confused with Rashida's man. Okay, because I'm never
- 0:59Speaker 2: leaven hurt.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Yes, I do denout appreciate it, okay whom.
- 1:13Speaker 2: King responded to a female's comment on his page that said,
- 1:23Speaker 2: you know, while you look good, Quad is a lucky woman,
- 1:29Speaker 2: and he responded her luck ran out.
- 1:33Speaker 4: Oh.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Then another person asked that they were together, and he
- 1:40Speaker 2: said that I left the situation.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:46Speaker 2: After that, today, Quad released a statement to TMZ and
- 1:52Speaker 2: I want to be able to read it ver batam,
- 1:55Speaker 2: and before I read it, I do want to say
- 1:57Speaker 2: this though, I thought quads response was very, very grown, mature,
- 2:05Speaker 2: and I didn't think it was messy and it could
- 2:07Speaker 2: have been just based on how I felt.
- 2:10Speaker 1: King broke the news to his followers yesterday.
- 2:13Speaker 2: So in a statement, Quad said, Kirk and I mutually
- 2:18Speaker 2: decided to bring our relationship to a close in twenty
- 2:22Speaker 2: twenty five.
- 2:23Speaker 1: While our time together compass.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Meaningful moments, that chapter of my life has now concluded.
- 2:30Speaker 2: I wish him well in twenty twenty six. I'm focused
- 2:34Speaker 2: on moving forward with clarity and purpose.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Thank you for your support. I thought I was mature.
- 2:43Speaker 2: And Dustin, based on you being of an avid married
- 2:49Speaker 2: to medicine watcher, are you surprised that Quad and King
- 2:54Speaker 2: did not make it?
- 2:59Speaker 5: Only because I feel like Qui really made an investment
- 3:02Speaker 5: in making sure that they made it. She waited a
- 3:06Speaker 5: year to tell people that she even had a damn man,
- 3:09Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. Then she you know, slowly
- 3:12Speaker 5: brought him into her professional world on married to medicine,
- 3:16Speaker 5: and that's how we all were introduced to.
- 3:17Speaker 6: Him, found out about him what he does.
- 3:20Speaker 5: You know, all the details and shit through that, so
- 3:23Speaker 5: only because I know it seemed that she was really
- 3:25Speaker 5: serious about making that relationship work. It didn't seem like
- 3:28Speaker 5: somebody she was casually dating, you know.
- 3:31Speaker 6: And so she seems to be a pretty driven person.
- 3:35Speaker 5: She's always been ambitious, and I know that she made
- 3:38Speaker 5: a valiant effort to make that relationship work. I would
- 3:41Speaker 5: assume that I don't know that because I don't know Quy,
- 3:43Speaker 5: but I would assume that she made a valiant effort.
- 3:45Speaker 5: So for that in that vein, I am surprised. But
- 3:48Speaker 5: the Quid statement, You're right, it was mature. It was
- 3:51Speaker 5: also succinct. Okay, Qui said everything that needed to be
- 3:56Speaker 5: said in that statement. And the fact that we found
- 3:59Speaker 5: out that anything was even going on between them, I'm
- 4:03Speaker 5: sure people was making assumptions, you know, for whatever reasons.
- 4:05Speaker 5: But he kind of introduced the fact that they broke
- 4:08Speaker 5: up to her audience, you know what I'm saying, because
- 4:11Speaker 5: we were introduced to him through her, And so the
- 4:14Speaker 5: fact that Quai never even said anything, I just don't
- 4:16Speaker 5: think there's a story there. Personally, Qua's message, herb statement
- 4:22Speaker 5: was really complete to me.
- 4:24Speaker 6: They adn't really leave room for anything else.
- 4:27Speaker 5: And I think that she's just ready to move on,
- 4:29Speaker 5: and the fact that she included dates. She said that
- 4:31Speaker 5: they ended their relationship in twenty twenty five, and she
- 4:34Speaker 5: said that this is what she wants to do moving
- 4:36Speaker 5: forward in twenty twenty six. I just don't give a
- 4:38Speaker 5: fuck personally, I'm just speaking for myself. I don't care
- 4:41Speaker 5: nothing about why they broke up or then breaking up
- 4:43Speaker 5: at all.
- 4:43Speaker 6: Anyway.
- 4:44Speaker 5: I'm still going to follow Qua's journey on married to
- 4:46Speaker 5: Medicine and see how her story ends up. And I'm
- 4:51Speaker 5: ready to move on, you know, And I think she
- 4:53Speaker 5: kind of is too, based on the nature of her statement.
- 4:56Speaker 5: So I just don't think there's no there's not like
- 4:58Speaker 5: a smoking gun that I'm just ready to move on.
- 5:00Speaker 5: I really honestly don't care. If I'm not trying to
- 5:03Speaker 5: be rude, I just don't give a fuck. So I'm
- 5:06Speaker 5: just saying, yeah, sorry, it's.
- 5:12Speaker 6: Just not get a new man, like, let's just move on,
- 5:18Speaker 6: you know.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Let me tell you something. I've been around Kawhi. We
- 5:22Speaker 4: was all in Ghana a few years ago. The QUI
- 5:26Speaker 4: will have no problems. Gorgeous, lady, cool shit, fun to
- 5:29Speaker 4: hang with. She will have no problems. The fact that
- 5:31Speaker 4: she waited to introduce the world to him, and you
- 5:34Speaker 4: know she was measured. She's she's a vet. She knows
- 5:37Speaker 4: that she can't just pop up on TV with someone
- 5:38Speaker 4: because there's in Atlanta, especially, there's a lot of people
- 5:42Speaker 4: that's gonna pretend to love you to get on television.
- 5:45Speaker 4: Not saying he was doing that, but you have to
- 5:46Speaker 4: like wait a little while before you make sure. I'm
- 5:49Speaker 4: seeing that he was in doctor Simone's comments leaving comments
- 5:53Speaker 4: like kind of being messy and stuff about that have
- 5:55Speaker 4: some class because by her response and her statement, you think, wow,
- 6:00Speaker 4: we don't really know who broke up with who. She's
- 6:02Speaker 4: not putting a blame, she's not trashing him, she's not
- 6:04Speaker 4: dragging him. She kept it very cute. Him doing this.
- 6:07Speaker 4: At first I thought maybe he broke up with her
- 6:09Speaker 4: and she's giving one of those it was mutual. But
- 6:12Speaker 4: now the fact that he's in comments is giving me
- 6:14Speaker 4: he's being very petty and thank the woman that give
- 6:19Speaker 4: you a national platform. Keep it cute, there's no need
- 6:22Speaker 4: to do. I hate when people do this after a relationship.
- 6:24Speaker 4: I really really do. I really I think it's tacky.
- 6:28Speaker 4: Likes you're going on her platform her castmates, her people
- 6:32Speaker 4: that you met through her, and like dragging someone that
- 6:34Speaker 4: brought you into that circle. I don't think that's cute
- 6:36Speaker 4: at all. Dude, a monkst your circle? Oh you don't
- 6:39Speaker 4: have a circle?
- 6:39Speaker 6: Okay, That's kind of where I'm with it.
- 6:42Speaker 5: Like, I feel like even giving it any You can
- 6:46Speaker 5: tell the intention of a statement by what it is, right,
- 6:49Speaker 5: and I feel like even feeding it in any way
- 6:52Speaker 5: is just feudile, you know what I'm saying. Like, I'm
- 6:55Speaker 5: not really interested in analyzing what he said or did
- 6:58Speaker 5: or any of that. I'm more interested in what Quid
- 7:00Speaker 5: does next personally, I guess that's around that with it,
- 7:04Speaker 5: I don't give a fuck.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Yeah, and listen, there's no secret I am friends with Quad.
- 7:09Speaker 2: I've been friends of Quad for over a decade. She
- 7:13Speaker 2: is a great woman. I thought her statement was a
- 7:16Speaker 2: class act to say the least. I think Quad is
- 7:20Speaker 2: a classy woman who definitely wanted.
- 7:24Speaker 1: To make sure that her reality was shown.
- 7:29Speaker 2: And this is one thing I will let the world
- 7:31Speaker 2: know about Quad Web that woman.
- 7:35Speaker 1: When she's in love with.
- 7:37Speaker 2: You, watch out because she will give you everything in
- 7:43Speaker 2: that relationship.
- 7:43Speaker 1: And again, I don't know much of what happened. It
- 7:45Speaker 1: is not my business.
- 7:47Speaker 2: But what I will say is, as an avid viewer
- 7:50Speaker 2: of Mariti Medicine, we have seen this woman go through
- 7:53Speaker 2: a divorce that wasn't pretty right. We have seen this
- 7:58Speaker 2: woman deal with friendships on the show that wasn't pretty right.
- 8:01Speaker 2: We have seen this woman really, you know, go on
- 8:05Speaker 2: a couple of trips on this show and do it alone.
- 8:08Speaker 1: And Claudia, you know how it is.
- 8:10Speaker 2: To be on a reality show where people be like,
- 8:11Speaker 2: where's your man at, you know, as a way of.
- 8:15Speaker 1: You know, throwing shade.
- 8:17Speaker 2: So the fact that she dated this man for a
- 8:20Speaker 2: year because she wanted to make sure that this was it.
- 8:24Speaker 2: And one thing I will give quad, which is why
- 8:26Speaker 2: she is one of the greatest reality stars who have
- 8:29Speaker 2: ever been on television, is the fact that she poured
- 8:33Speaker 2: her heart off this season with her ivy of journey
- 8:36Speaker 2: going to Ghana and you you you saw the real
- 8:40Speaker 2: conversations that they were were having as a couple.
- 8:44Speaker 1: You saw how she broke down when the eggs didn't
- 8:48Speaker 1: then take it, you know, like really a real heart
- 8:52Speaker 1: felt conversation.
- 8:54Speaker 2: My entire heart goes out to her because I know,
- 8:59Speaker 2: as a tourist woman that she is, she loves hard
- 9:04Speaker 2: and I am sad for any of my friends to
- 9:09Speaker 2: end the relationship. But what I will say is she
- 9:13Speaker 2: is a classy woman. I love the fact that me
- 9:15Speaker 2: and her, Me and Quad talk all the time, and
- 9:17Speaker 2: she didn't tell me, So I want the world to
- 9:20Speaker 2: know that wasn't like.
- 9:20Speaker 1: She called me and said, bitch, guess she didn't tell me.
- 9:24Speaker 2: And I know her and I kind of suspected something's
- 9:27Speaker 2: going on. But when you're one of my girls, I
- 9:31Speaker 2: wait for you to come to me, especially if you're
- 9:33Speaker 2: in a relationship.
- 9:34Speaker 1: So look, I met King. King.
- 9:36Speaker 2: King was very nice when I met him. I like
- 9:40Speaker 2: you too, Destiny Claudia. I was surprised that he felt
- 9:43Speaker 2: the need to respond to it because this is quat platform,
- 9:47Speaker 2: but hey, maybe he just felt the need to say something.
- 9:50Speaker 2: But nonetheless, I thought Quad statement was a class actor
- 9:53Speaker 2: and my heart goes off to her.
- 9:55Speaker 4: Hellos, the rangedrops are saying that he responded in your comments.
- 9:58Speaker 4: Maybe that's been there on the show. Maybe check that
- 10:00Speaker 4: when you get a chance.
- 10:01Speaker 6: We don't give a fuck. We don't care what he
- 10:04Speaker 6: got to say.
- 10:05Speaker 5: We don't give a damn about Quad did not respond
- 10:09Speaker 5: to the things that he said.
- 10:11Speaker 6: That is the biggest clue for us. All right, now
- 10:14Speaker 6: you can swipe you did that comment?
- 10:17Speaker 4: Yeah, because I'm saying again using her people, her friends,
- 10:22Speaker 4: the circle that she brought him into to trash, to
- 10:26Speaker 4: talk ship or whatever. I haven't seen the comment, yep,
- 10:28Speaker 4: I'm just saying that would piss me off. Like, ay, man,
- 10:30Speaker 4: don't be the only comments that my friends.
- 10:34Speaker 6: Don't breathe an ounce of life into any of that.
- 10:39Speaker 4: Twelve followers.
- 10:41Speaker 5: Let's just let's just move on. He getting way too
- 10:43Speaker 5: much attention. Let's talk about quad.
- 10:46Speaker 6: She looked good on Sherry. Did you see what she
- 10:47Speaker 6: had on on Sherry?
- 10:49Speaker 1: Yes? Her bathing suits.
- 10:55Speaker 4: Member, I'm gonna tell you right now, ladies, I'm I'm
- 10:58Speaker 4: always wary of man with these these names that are
- 11:01Speaker 4: very aspirational. It's though it's not their for what they
- 11:03Speaker 4: would name. I remember I met a guy named Adonna's
- 11:06Speaker 4: one time. He was one of the ugliest people I've
- 11:07Speaker 4: ever met in my life. I could not believe it, Like,
- 11:09Speaker 4: I'm like, your parents set you up. He had his
- 11:11Speaker 4: hair jelled forward and a Caesar cut was thin right here.
- 11:15Speaker 4: So King Adonna's all these kind of you know, bigger
- 11:21Speaker 4: than life, larger than life names, it's a lot to
- 11:22Speaker 4: live up to. I'm just saying, like, if my name
- 11:24Speaker 4: was queen, you'd be like, okay, really like you know
- 11:27Speaker 4: what I'm saying, it's a lot to live up to.
- 11:30Speaker 4: Beware you heard it here. First, don't take kings. And
- 11:42Speaker 4: he had green contact in and he was so sheet
- 11:44Speaker 4: greasy and shiny. Ough adna's your mama lied to you?

- 17:04Speaker 2: Until then, keep my name out of that dry mouth
- 17:07Speaker 2: of yours. Maybe you can get a man that actually
- 17:12Speaker 2: claims you.
- 17:13Speaker 1: PS. This is the weird shit that Drew does. Call
- 17:18Speaker 1: me next Timbo.
- 17:21Speaker 5: Drew one with all that all over the place shit.
- 17:26Speaker 5: And I like Kelly on the show. Let me be clear,
- 17:28Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. I enjoyed Kelly on the
- 17:30Speaker 5: I enjoyed her on season sixteen. I'm looking forward to
- 17:32Speaker 5: seeing her on season seventeen. But she wasn't talking about shit.
- 17:37Speaker 5: She just said a bunch of She regurgitated a bunch
- 17:40Speaker 5: of typical responses that people in the reality space used
- 17:43Speaker 5: toward each other. Oh you was boring this season. You
- 17:46Speaker 5: want to have a storyline.
- 17:48Speaker 6: I was busy. I got other stuff going on.
- 17:51Speaker 5: You ain't got no man. It was just a bunch
- 17:53Speaker 5: of the same old, same old bullshit. Drew tore her up,
- 17:57Speaker 5: drew his fresh face when she got on that camera
- 17:59Speaker 5: on live pushing her hair back and shit talking about
- 18:03Speaker 5: my kids wanted some chicken and waffles and so I
- 18:06Speaker 5: can really support my girl, And I thought that was hilarious.
- 18:10Speaker 6: Drew one case clothes aunt Kelly.
- 18:14Speaker 5: And Kelly has a tendency to do to overdo, lay
- 18:18Speaker 5: it on too thick sometimes with things okay, and this
- 18:21Speaker 5: is one of the case scenarios where she did just that.
- 18:24Speaker 5: Next time, Kelly just go straight to the bullseye with
- 18:27Speaker 5: your insults, all all that extra shit is a bunch
- 18:31Speaker 5: of nothing. And that's how Drew had a victory. Drew
- 18:34Speaker 5: took the w in this one.
- 18:38Speaker 4: Claudia Jordan, I think this is great for TV. In
- 18:43Speaker 4: real life, of course you'd be like, bitch, you really
- 18:45Speaker 4: try me like that. It wouldn't be no Instagram. Maybe
- 18:48Speaker 4: I'm coming over, We're going to see each other, we're
- 18:51Speaker 4: gonna talk. You try to climb my business. But it's
- 18:53Speaker 4: for TV. For TV. I like it for TV because
- 18:55Speaker 4: now they have something to be bitter or angry about
- 18:59Speaker 4: when there's coming see I like both these ladies. I
- 19:02Speaker 4: think that Drew. Of course, Drew started it and she
- 19:04Speaker 4: went looking for a little smoke, and she she gave
- 19:07Speaker 4: exactly she got exactly where she wanted a response. Kelly
- 19:10Speaker 4: started off very strong. If I'm going to analyze to read,
- 19:14Speaker 4: analyza read with Claudia Jordan's analyzed to read came out
- 19:17Speaker 4: the gate tens tens tens bam, bam, bam, bam bam.
- 19:20Speaker 4: But where she lost it, much like in My beefs,
- 19:23Speaker 4: is when she got too emotional. And if you whoever
- 19:26Speaker 4: stays calm and then check of the emotions wins. I
- 19:28Speaker 4: think the more the longer Kelly's response went, it showed
- 19:31Speaker 4: that she was really mad. You know, like when I
- 19:34Speaker 4: tell my friends, when you're arguing with your boyfriend and
- 19:36Speaker 4: you want to write him along paring of and another thing,
- 19:39Speaker 4: bring up everything he ain't reading. Now you're reading the
- 19:41Speaker 4: top line, in the last line, he's not going through
- 19:42Speaker 4: all that. You hit him with an opener, a middle line,
- 19:47Speaker 4: and a closer and you're done. That seems less bothered,
- 19:50Speaker 4: But I get Kelly was trying to put everything in
- 19:52Speaker 4: one email or one check. So I do think Kelly
- 19:55Speaker 4: gave a valiant effort. I think she you know, but
- 19:58Speaker 4: like you can't some'cept the more you write, the more
- 20:00Speaker 4: you give, you open yourself for critique. Like men have
- 20:04Speaker 4: claimed Drew. She's had a husband and other men come
- 20:07Speaker 4: on the show, you know, and maybe even a woman
- 20:10Speaker 4: that was willing to claim Drew. Okay, so you can't.
- 20:13Speaker 6: Say that I forgot about hell.
- 20:16Speaker 5: Speaking of basketball wise, what was that she was on basketball?
- 20:21Speaker 6: We got the same vans and jacket.
- 20:24Speaker 4: Yeah, she's made her rounds on all the Award of
- 20:27Speaker 4: the Reality.
- 20:27Speaker 6: She'd be dressing QR. I forgot the mean thing.
- 20:30Speaker 4: No, no, she does. She's listen, tis fly. I'm not
- 20:32Speaker 4: gonna take away, but she's definitely cross promoted. Okay, cross pollinated.
- 20:38Speaker 4: She says she wanted she gotta smoking me. Like, girl,
- 20:40Speaker 4: we ain't gonna fight. You just.
- 20:43Speaker 5: Want to go shopping with Ty, So I'll work all
- 20:45Speaker 5: that out. Okay, we and t gonna go shopping. I
- 20:48Speaker 5: want to shop with you, go were gonna I'm gonna
- 20:51Speaker 5: set a lot of that. I'm gonna be the bridge
- 20:52Speaker 5: for you friends.
- 20:54Speaker 4: She didn't say nothing when she saw me out. Mm hmm.
- 20:57Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, and I'm old that you could easily
- 20:59Speaker 4: take me down. Okay, let me focus. I have ADHD
- 21:05Speaker 4: y'all know that interest. Yeah, Like, I just like it
- 21:09Speaker 4: went it went long. It just went long. So yeah,
- 21:11Speaker 4: but but I like them both, and now I'm looking
- 21:13Speaker 4: forward to the season, Like what's up with Kelly and Drew?
- 21:15Speaker 4: It did exactly Listen, Kelly, don't be mad and Drew
- 21:18Speaker 4: because it kind of gave you guys a nice starting
- 21:20Speaker 4: point for the next season, like we wanted. Now we
- 21:21Speaker 4: want to know what's up?
- 21:23Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
- 21:23Speaker 2: Yeah, and listen, I shout out to Drew and Kelly.
- 21:28Speaker 1: You know, I think that was a nice Saturday pick
- 21:32Speaker 1: me up.
- 21:33Speaker 2: You all need it as we're you know, bracing the
- 21:35Speaker 2: cold weather over the weekend. And it's what you too said,
- 21:39Speaker 2: it's it makes me long for Atlanta Housewives when I
- 21:42Speaker 2: say to you, this is why Atlanta Housewives as a
- 21:45Speaker 2: brand is so funny, because it's the shade meter that
- 21:49Speaker 2: goes like this that.
- 21:50Speaker 1: Makes that show great. And I I love that Drew
- 21:54Speaker 1: started it, and.
- 21:55Speaker 2: I love that Kelly played along with it, you know,
- 21:57Speaker 2: instead of like, girl, have your moment. I like the
- 22:00Speaker 2: the fact that they both knew let's ignite this promo
- 22:05Speaker 2: for the upcoming season, while you know, Potomac is sort
- 22:09Speaker 2: of you know, sunsetting with their reunions. But I thought
- 22:12Speaker 2: it was fun shade, and listen, I want more of that.
- 22:18Speaker 2: Speaking of fun shade, we got to get into Giselle
- 22:22Speaker 2: responding to Quad checking her on Watch What Happens Live
- 22:26Speaker 2: and the rain draws we will be talking about after
- 22:28Speaker 2: this Karon Huger's won on one interview with Andy Cohen
- 22:32Speaker 2: that aired last night. First Thing First, Giselle, Kobe Bryant,
- 22:37Speaker 2: and Robin Dixon on their podcast Reasonably Shady responded to
- 22:43Speaker 2: Quad Gazelle said that during a commercial break that Quad
- 22:49Speaker 2: allegedly told Andy to ask her a barb Bravo Khan,
- 22:55Speaker 2: and Giselle said, when she saw that, and she obviously
- 23:00Speaker 2: you know it was there when Quad checked her, she
- 23:02Speaker 2: felt that Quad came everharst and she said when it happened,
- 23:08Speaker 2: she was like, I have nothing for you or for
- 23:11Speaker 2: this conversation, because.
- 23:14Speaker 1: We were really talking about Atlanta.
- 23:17Speaker 2: And then Robin interjected and said, no, no, no, no, I
- 23:20Speaker 2: was talking about both, right, I was talking about both.
- 23:24Speaker 2: They both felt though that they didn't understand the energy
- 23:27Speaker 2: that was given to them, that it was really shading
- 23:30Speaker 2: Ky Michelle and Atlanta Housewives and not necessarily Quad Dustin.
- 23:35Speaker 1: Do you buy what Gizelle and Robin areselfing?
- 23:41Speaker 6: Hell?
- 23:42Speaker 5: No. First of all, Giselle Robin did seem apologetic, you
- 23:46Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. Gazelle was still she kept talking shit,
- 23:50Speaker 5: taking digs.
- 23:50Speaker 6: We didn't even we didn't need to know.
- 23:52Speaker 5: The peace about quid as they said, teeing up the moment,
- 23:56Speaker 5: you know, telling Andy to probe her about Bravo con
- 23:59Speaker 5: We didn't know, We didn't to know about any of that.
- 24:01Speaker 5: Jazelle still talking shit because Gazelle is embarrassed. Quiet embarrassed her,
- 24:05Speaker 5: and watch What Happens Live because the whole world recognized
- 24:09Speaker 5: that as a checking okay, and so Gizelle didn't like that,
- 24:12Speaker 5: and she did what she had every right to do,
- 24:14Speaker 5: which is go on her platform and issue a response.
- 24:17Speaker 5: But we are all clear on what that response was. Robin,
- 24:20Speaker 5: I felt was a little more sincere. She even went
- 24:23Speaker 5: so far as to apologize to the castomary to Medicine,
- 24:25Speaker 5: and she showed them a lot of love and you know,
- 24:28Speaker 5: made it clear how she felt about it being with
- 24:30Speaker 5: the best show on Bravo, sharing the same sentiment that
- 24:33Speaker 5: you have, Carlos, And I thought her response was a
- 24:36Speaker 5: lot more sincere and regular. But Gazelle continued to talk
- 24:39Speaker 5: shit the entire time, even while Robin was being apologetic.
- 24:44Speaker 5: And I don't believe for one minute that she knew
- 24:47Speaker 5: what the tea up was from Quid asking, And that's tee,
- 24:51Speaker 5: not tea, what the tea up was from Quid asking her.
- 24:55Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying to asking Andy to talk
- 24:58Speaker 5: about Bravo Khan because Gazelle appeared completely.
- 25:00Speaker 6: Caught off guard. Will Quiet check their ass?
- 25:02Speaker 5: That's how we knew it was in the moment and real,
- 25:05Speaker 5: so I don't believe that for one second.
- 25:06Speaker 6: She'd did better.
- 25:07Speaker 5: Off just saying, you know what, we be on here
- 25:09Speaker 5: talking shit and maybe I just need to watch my
- 25:11Speaker 5: mouth a little bit, because I wasn't trying to offit her.
- 25:14Speaker 1: So that's what I do when I get checked.
- 25:15Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what I'm saying, I just laugh about
- 25:18Speaker 5: it and do that's my way of doing it. You
- 25:21Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. So that's how That's what I think.
- 25:23Speaker 5: Jesselle was embarrassed and Robin kept it real.
- 25:26Speaker 1: Claudia her response.
- 25:30Speaker 4: Their response should have been, the podcast is called reasonably shady,
- 25:35Speaker 4: so guess what, some nights we're going to be shady.
- 25:38Speaker 4: You don't come to the show for political correctness, you
- 25:42Speaker 4: come for the shade. That's the branding. They should have
- 25:44Speaker 4: leaned in and been like, yes, we were being shady,
- 25:47Speaker 4: but I will. I know a lot of people don't
- 25:48Speaker 4: like Robin. I'm happy to not be one of them.
- 25:51Speaker 4: I actually like her because I don't know her from
- 25:55Speaker 4: the show. I wasn't watching when she was on. I
- 25:57Speaker 4: went to lunch with dinner with her, drinks after, and
- 26:00Speaker 4: I really liked her. And what I saw in my
- 26:02Speaker 4: one on one with her was exactly how she, you know,
- 26:07Speaker 4: conjucted herself with her response stood on business. She accepted
- 26:11Speaker 4: what she said, she cleaned it up and actually showed love.
- 26:15Speaker 4: She showed it, but she wasn't. It didn't come off
- 26:17Speaker 4: to me like she was a punk, and she didn't retreat.
- 26:19Speaker 4: She said, well, you know, and she explained it. And
- 26:22Speaker 4: then Gay Props gave another show props saying they're the
- 26:25Speaker 4: best show on the network. I thought that would so fly.
- 26:28Speaker 4: The way she handled the situation, I think it showed
- 26:31Speaker 4: that she don't worry about what you think about her.
- 26:34Speaker 4: It is what it is. I'm gonna clarify. And then
- 26:37Speaker 4: I love how she gave props to Mariti Medicine because
- 26:39Speaker 4: I agree with her, and I thought that was ope
- 26:41Speaker 4: And actually it actually made Giselle look a little smaller,
- 26:45Speaker 4: and it made Robin look bigger and accountable and also
- 26:51Speaker 4: like more credible.
- 26:52Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think listen is what you
- 26:59Speaker 1: said to Dustin and Claudia saying too.
- 27:02Speaker 2: Look, I can't tell you how many times I've been
- 27:08Speaker 2: chin checked in public or receive their phone call or
- 27:12Speaker 2: a d M. I was telling Dustin behind the scenes.
- 27:14Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say it.
- 27:16Speaker 1: I can call him aout Dustin and but the thing
- 27:19Speaker 1: about is this, and look, we'll get to my call
- 27:22Speaker 1: Laudia second.
- 27:23Speaker 2: But I get about Dustin are always funny. They never
- 27:31Speaker 2: disrespect him because I will always check them if they
- 27:33Speaker 2: disrespected him, and it's never disrespecting. It always surprises me
- 27:37Speaker 2: that they are so fascinated with his POV that they
- 27:45Speaker 2: are just.
- 27:45Speaker 1: Like, well, that's not true, he got it wrong. And
- 27:47Speaker 1: I'm like, that's his opinion. But they're laughing the whole time.
- 27:52Speaker 4: No with me, they're like, fuck that bitch, Why should
- 27:54Speaker 4: you You're supposed to be my friend. No, I because
- 27:58Speaker 4: Dustin find he's man and like he's fine, So it's okay.
- 28:02Speaker 4: I just give a look to something. Look at Claudia Hayten.
- 28:05Speaker 4: She want to be back on the show. Said the
- 28:08Speaker 4: same thing they say. But I ain't as fine as
- 28:11Speaker 4: him in a way.
- 28:13Speaker 1: God damn. There may be a lot of housewife one
- 28:15Speaker 1: or two that you know. I don't know.
- 28:18Speaker 6: I don't give a fuck, Okay, friend, I really don't.
- 28:22Speaker 4: I don't know if y'all know my demon here, I'm
- 28:25Speaker 4: in my villain era. I do not.
- 28:31Speaker 7: I said that, you say, I'm start saying tiga instead of.
- 28:35Speaker 4: Oh the em word. Oh yeah, because that's for my peoples.
- 28:37Speaker 1: But the reality they get smoked happy black.
- 28:43Speaker 4: Especially during February. I'm of a frame July is on them.
- 28:50Speaker 1: So I don't know. If I told the rain drops
- 28:52Speaker 1: my Stacey Rush story.
- 28:54Speaker 4: That happened, I gotta DM her too.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Please do Okay?
- 28:58Speaker 2: So when I interview Stacey and name her the reality
- 29:01Speaker 2: start of the year in twenty twenty five, I thought
- 29:05Speaker 2: we were recording where we weren't souse, I would have
- 29:06Speaker 2: posted it because she was fine with it. Stacy watches
- 29:12Speaker 2: Monday Night Live. So hi's Stacy Rush.
- 29:15Speaker 1: And she said, in.
- 29:19Speaker 2: Her very stacy way, where's Claudia?
- 29:24Speaker 1: Where is she? Is? She not here? I said, ma'am,
- 29:29Speaker 1: dallat's be talking about she goes. I have a bone
- 29:33Speaker 1: to pick with Claudia. I said, what blaa she goes.
- 29:39Speaker 1: I just feel like she.
- 29:41Speaker 7: You know, talking about Temu and saying something about my man.
- 29:48Speaker 1: I'm heard, and I said, Claudia.
- 29:52Speaker 2: But my point is Stacey was so funny with it,
- 29:56Speaker 2: and she she literally said to me and I will
- 29:58Speaker 2: never forget this, and I I.
- 30:00Speaker 1: Want all of this from my reality stars.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Stacy Russ that I love reading me tweets about me.
- 30:07Speaker 2: I think it's funny. She said, I love watching you
- 30:09Speaker 2: DestinE to Claudia. Y'all keep it real. I may disagree
- 30:12Speaker 2: with you. I want you to face on Claudia so
- 30:14Speaker 2: we could get a kick out of it. So my
- 30:17Speaker 2: point is, look, I believe in owning it. Robin Dixon
- 30:21Speaker 2: checked me a few weeks ago. I told you guys
- 30:24Speaker 2: about that. We all get checked, but I think it's
- 30:27Speaker 2: one of those things where you own it and you
- 30:29Speaker 2: just keep it, pushit.
- 30:31Speaker 4: And Stacey, my critique was about Jermyn not you, but
- 30:35Speaker 4: I actually adore you on the show, and I know
- 30:36Speaker 4: what I love not. I kind of like being wrong
- 30:40Speaker 4: about someone in the beginning. You know, some of my
- 30:42Speaker 4: best relationships with friends were with people that I'm like, oh,
- 30:46Speaker 4: I can't stand you, right, like something about them irk you,
- 30:49Speaker 4: and when you get to know them, you end up
- 30:52Speaker 4: really liking them, Like I can't believe I don't like you,
- 30:54Speaker 4: or I felt a different way about you. And I
- 30:56Speaker 4: kind of feel like that way with Stacy. Not that
- 30:58Speaker 4: I couldn't stand her, but we definitely would Criticism for
- 31:00Speaker 4: her when she first started the season, and I like
- 31:03Speaker 4: that she changed our minds, Not that she was trying
- 31:05Speaker 4: to change our minds, but I like when you kind
- 31:07Speaker 4: of like I like people that are flexible, and I
- 31:10Speaker 4: think everyone on this panel is pretty flexible. Especially Yeah,
- 31:14Speaker 4: you know, like we I meant physically for you, mentally
- 31:18Speaker 4: for us, like you know, even glowing lately.

- 35:19Speaker 4: because they used to be popping in my account. Now
- 35:21Speaker 4: my point.
- 35:25Speaker 2: Okay, So look, I'm glad we're we're having a good time,
- 35:30Speaker 2: and I'm glad we're laughing and joking, you know, because
- 35:34Speaker 2: now was the time to get into Cameron Huger's one
- 35:38Speaker 2: on one special with Andy Cohen that was promoted as
- 35:42Speaker 2: the finale for the Real Housewives of Potomac. I have
- 35:49Speaker 2: lots of thoughts about this, but of course I'll reserve
- 35:52Speaker 2: my judgment until I hear Claudia and Dustin talk.
- 35:57Speaker 1: But to recapture you guys, as you.
- 35:59Speaker 2: Ought know, Karen Huger was sentenced to jail or a dui,
- 36:06Speaker 2: and she got off for good behavior, and the cameras
- 36:14Speaker 2: literally followed Karen leaving the president entering the black car
- 36:21Speaker 2: and going home.
- 36:23Speaker 1: And then a week later she said down with Andy Cohen.
- 36:26Speaker 2: So in this moment, you know, she gets out, she
- 36:30Speaker 2: makes sure that the driver slows down because she wanted
- 36:32Speaker 2: to roll down the window to wave about her fans.
- 36:35Speaker 2: She did that, and then she decided to go home
- 36:40Speaker 2: to see Raven, her sister in addition to her husband Ray.
- 36:48Speaker 1: They talk about her jail house braids.
- 36:52Speaker 2: It was a very listen it was let me just
- 36:56Speaker 2: let me just say what I have to say that
- 36:58Speaker 2: I'm out. Y'all know, I'm obsessed with this genre of
- 37:04Speaker 2: reality television. I was talking to have them last week
- 37:08Speaker 2: and before we did our Ameritive Medicine recap, she said,
- 37:11Speaker 2: you love this shit, don't you? And I was like,
- 37:12Speaker 2: you have no idea, you know, like you know how
- 37:15Speaker 2: like some people love sports and they're like sportsman or whatever.
- 37:18Speaker 2: I am the biggest fan of reality television, right.
- 37:24Speaker 1: I will say this.
- 37:26Speaker 2: It was the first time for me I felt very
- 37:30Speaker 2: uncomfortable watching something. And although although truth moment, I would
- 37:38Speaker 2: have as a producer done the same thing, get the
- 37:41Speaker 2: cameras and follow I would have done the exact same thing. Yeah,
- 37:46Speaker 2: watching her and I'll get to the one. I'll get
- 37:48Speaker 2: to the one on one interview later. I'll state my
- 37:52Speaker 2: opinion now about her going home. I I did not
- 38:00Speaker 2: need to see that. I felt it was something that
- 38:05Speaker 2: she should have had privately.
- 38:08Speaker 1: To absorb with her family, to go through.
- 38:13Speaker 2: Something so horrific and to get out of it, and
- 38:17Speaker 2: there's cameras in your face, and they're in the car,
- 38:20Speaker 2: and you go home and the first time you're seeing
- 38:24Speaker 2: your husband, your daughter, and your sister, there's cameras in
- 38:27Speaker 2: your face it and again there's certain people like Teresa
- 38:31Speaker 2: Judies when she did it, it was something felt different
- 38:34Speaker 2: about that. It was something different about Karen and I
- 38:36Speaker 2: don't and I have my thoughts about that, but I'll
- 38:41Speaker 2: just say I did not need to see it, and
- 38:46Speaker 2: it made me feel very sad for her that she
- 38:49Speaker 2: had to share that moment with us.
- 38:54Speaker 4: It seemed to me like she had no choice, like
- 38:59Speaker 4: this is maybe one of the conditions of her coming
- 39:01Speaker 4: back that she had to give this interview, you know.
- 39:03Speaker 4: And I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. I'm just going
- 39:05Speaker 4: by my gut like watching it, because clearly she's made progress,
- 39:10Speaker 4: but not all the way right. It seemed like she
- 39:12Speaker 4: has a tough time admitting to the alcoholism, but a
- 39:18Speaker 4: less tough time admitting to the addiction to prescription drugs
- 39:23Speaker 4: because someone else prescribed them. So it's like not really
- 39:26Speaker 4: my fault as much, you know what I mean. And
- 39:28Speaker 4: that was kind of sad to see, Like it seemed
- 39:30Speaker 4: like it really bothered her to really own the alcohol
- 39:32Speaker 4: alcoholism part of the illness that she has. And you know,
- 39:38Speaker 4: when they played the clips back of her just their
- 39:41Speaker 4: arrest and the wig back, it was like a cringe. Cringe.
- 39:45Speaker 4: But I do also want to stay as part of
- 39:47Speaker 4: being in the reality game, I guess, But she wasn't
- 39:50Speaker 4: protected at all for sure. They weren't trying to protect her.
- 39:53Speaker 4: They were trying to have a show that I get
- 39:54Speaker 4: good ratings. And I guess on the business side, I
- 39:56Speaker 4: see it. But if she was one of my friends,
- 39:58Speaker 4: I'd be like, damn, girl, ion't do that, because like
- 40:02Speaker 4: it did feel uncomfortable, like her talking on her husband,
- 40:05Speaker 4: all of it. But it's kind of like Gladiator, Are
- 40:09Speaker 4: you not entertained? People say they want to see elevated
- 40:12Speaker 4: things and they don't want to see the fighting and
- 40:14Speaker 4: the negative that the names eat it up. But it
- 40:18Speaker 4: did feel a little bit like blink twice girl, if
- 40:21Speaker 4: you don't really want to do this interview, and then
- 40:23Speaker 4: making you do it as part of the conditions for
- 40:25Speaker 4: coming back, right.
- 40:27Speaker 2: And I'll say this, obviously she got Listen, she's a
- 40:33Speaker 2: reality star. She got paid to do it, and she
- 40:35Speaker 2: wasn't working for close to a year. And listen, I
- 40:40Speaker 2: understand her decision for saying yes to it because she
- 40:42Speaker 2: got paid.
- 40:43Speaker 1: She got paid to show her reality.
- 40:46Speaker 2: And I'm not mad at it that it was at
- 40:48Speaker 2: the end of the day, it was her choice. Again,
- 40:52Speaker 2: me watching it, I just didn't feel like the person
- 40:55Speaker 2: I saw was ready to show the world who she was.
- 41:01Speaker 2: And I'm only sticking to the moment she saw her husband, sister,
- 41:07Speaker 2: and daughter. But Dustain, what were your thoughts on Karen
- 41:11Speaker 2: released from prison?
- 41:13Speaker 5: You know, I actually disagree with you Carlos and you
- 41:15Speaker 5: Claudia on this one. I thought that that was the
- 41:18Speaker 5: reallyt shit we ever seen from Karen.
- 41:20Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.
- 41:21Speaker 5: Karen is a person who runs away from transparency in
- 41:25Speaker 5: some setting. Sometimes she's too real and too raw and
- 41:27Speaker 5: that's why we love her. And other times she's evasive
- 41:30Speaker 5: about certain shit and vague about certain shit. This seeing
- 41:34Speaker 5: her exit, her paying her debt to society, which she did,
- 41:38Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, her watching her make that exit,
- 41:42Speaker 5: seeing her go home and be reintroduced to her family again,
- 41:46Speaker 5: who we know how strong, how strongly she loves them.
- 41:49Speaker 5: Seeing her sister there. I'm a person that's very close
- 41:52Speaker 5: with my brother and my sister. Y'all know that, and
- 41:54Speaker 5: so seeing her sister there that I could tell that
- 41:57Speaker 5: was real as hell, the way her sister was convicted
- 42:00Speaker 5: and sitting there with a silent strength to her, a
- 42:03Speaker 5: quiet strength to her. And we were introduced to her
- 42:06Speaker 5: sister Bridget through Karen's project about the family house in
- 42:10Speaker 5: Suri that they had the three episodes spent on for
- 42:12Speaker 5: we remember these characters. I thought it was special that
- 42:16Speaker 5: we got a change to hear what her son Brandon
- 42:19Speaker 5: had to say. He typically does not it's not involved.
- 42:22Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say whether he wants to or not,
- 42:23Speaker 5: because I don't know, but he's typically not involved in filming.
- 42:26Speaker 5: I thought it was it was great to get his
- 42:29Speaker 5: perspective on his mom's time, his experience related to that.
- 42:35Speaker 5: I thought that it was great. I think that the
- 42:38Speaker 5: element here that makes it uncomfortable for you, Carlos, youu
- 42:42Speaker 5: Claudia ain't even meet to a degree, is the fact
- 42:44Speaker 5: that Karen is a woman of a certain age, and
- 42:46Speaker 5: if you raise right, it's just certain shit you don't
- 42:49Speaker 5: like seeing older people doing it, and certain vulnerabilities you
- 42:53Speaker 5: don't like seeing them have. And that's what that was.
- 42:57Speaker 5: Karen wringing her hands in the car and all of that.
- 42:59Speaker 5: We wanted to support her, We wanted to soothe her,
- 43:02Speaker 5: We wanted to shield her. That's why y'all use the
- 43:05Speaker 5: word protected, even though what did she need to be
- 43:08Speaker 5: protected from? Right Like, she was going to the safest
- 43:11Speaker 5: of places for her home with her family, So it
- 43:14Speaker 5: wasn't that she we needed to protect her from anything.
- 43:17Speaker 5: But we just feel that because we're good people and
- 43:20Speaker 5: we don't like seeing older black people, older people in general,
- 43:24Speaker 5: in vulnerable situations like that where they're not safe and comforted.
- 43:29Speaker 6: So I think that was the thing for us.
- 43:30Speaker 5: But as far as the scene itself, I'm really grateful
- 43:34Speaker 5: that Karen was like even willing to show it. I
- 43:36Speaker 5: know she got a heavy bag to do that, Okay,
- 43:40Speaker 5: I ain't no question about it. She made a bag
- 43:43Speaker 5: to do that, and I don't think she was forced
- 43:45Speaker 5: to do nothing she didn't want to do. She seemed
- 43:47Speaker 5: really present. She seemed forthcoming as much as Karen Kugar
- 43:52Speaker 5: would be. So I thought she was cool and I
- 43:55Speaker 5: was happy to see her go home. I didn't want
- 43:57Speaker 5: to know her. I didn't want to know that she
- 44:00Speaker 5: was in a facility like that anymore. I was happy
- 44:02Speaker 5: to see her enter her home. So that's how I felt.
- 44:06Speaker 4: It was definitely good TV. But I was just thinking about, like,
- 44:09Speaker 4: she's not ready to accept that alcoholism part of her,
- 44:13Speaker 4: and that's the part that was the part that cringe.
- 44:15Speaker 1: Yeah, and let's get into that.
- 44:17Speaker 2: So they shot her immediately getting out of prison.
- 44:22Speaker 1: She went home.
- 44:24Speaker 2: They saw her embrace her family at one point, Karen,
- 44:28Speaker 2: which was the moment that I was like, yeah, girl,
- 44:31Speaker 2: I get you.
- 44:32Speaker 1: She was like, what I want it, y'all done?
- 44:35Speaker 2: I gotta shower the jail off of me. I gotta
- 44:38Speaker 2: shower the jail off of me. And she went upstairs.
- 44:42Speaker 2: And I love the fact that production said, Okay, bye,
- 44:45Speaker 2: do your thing. I also love the fact that it
- 44:47Speaker 2: gave her a week. I want to tell a production,
- 44:50Speaker 2: we're giving her a week to do the one on
- 44:52Speaker 2: one interview.
- 44:52Speaker 1: I'll show my thoughts about her there later.
- 44:56Speaker 2: But in the one on one interview a week at
- 45:00Speaker 2: after her release, they.
- 45:03Speaker 1: Get right into it and they start.
- 45:04Speaker 9: Immediately talking about the footage of Karen's arrest and if
- 45:12Speaker 9: she saw it, and Karen admitted that she did not
- 45:16Speaker 9: want to see it, and her lawyers did advise her
- 45:19Speaker 9: to take the plea deal because they saw the footage
- 45:21Speaker 9: and they pretty much said to her, in paraphrasing, this.
- 45:24Speaker 2: Is damning evidence. This is damning evidence, and you should
- 45:28Speaker 2: take the plea deal. She did not want to do it.
- 45:31Speaker 2: She said she saw it for the first time in
- 45:33Speaker 2: court and for her, she knew, like I'm in deep
- 45:37Speaker 2: trouble the sort of denial that she was in. Claudia,
- 45:44Speaker 2: what what did you make of the fact that she
- 45:49Speaker 2: admitted to being in such denial that she didn't want
- 45:52Speaker 2: to see the footage, and so much so that she.
- 45:58Speaker 1: Talked about how she was.
- 46:00Speaker 2: Not just under the influence of alcohol, she was under
- 46:04Speaker 2: the influence of prescription drugs.
- 46:08Speaker 1: Do you think she was trying to.
- 46:10Speaker 2: Not accept the fact that the alcoholism is the main
- 46:15Speaker 2: factor inarrent situation.
- 46:17Speaker 4: I do, because I feel like alcoholism is not something
- 46:20Speaker 4: you could put on a doctor alcoholism is something that
- 46:24Speaker 4: is a you thing. You decide to get the bottle,
- 46:27Speaker 4: you decide to drink, you decide to get behind the
- 46:29Speaker 4: wheel of a car. That's all you. Now. When you
- 46:32Speaker 4: say it's a prescription drug problem, you could also say, listen,
- 46:36Speaker 4: I was injured, I got prescribed these things. The doctor's
- 46:40Speaker 4: kind of their fault. They did this to me, like
- 46:42Speaker 4: they a little bit. You're not owning all of it, right,
- 46:45Speaker 4: because you can't just get a prescription drug on your
- 46:47Speaker 4: own prescription. You have to have a doctor do it
- 46:50Speaker 4: with you for you. So I think in her mind
- 46:53Speaker 4: is probably a little bit more shame associated with being
- 46:57Speaker 4: an alcoholic as then there is to be addicted to
- 47:00Speaker 4: prescription drugs.
- 47:01Speaker 1: You know.
- 47:01Speaker 4: I think that's more of like a high society kind
- 47:06Speaker 4: of diagnosis. It's less, you know what I mean, It's
- 47:09Speaker 4: more like you know, the that's like a rich person saying,
- 47:12Speaker 4: like prescription drugs. So, no, I had a back injury
- 47:15Speaker 4: and I got addicted to OPIOI it's because of my
- 47:19Speaker 4: back as opposed to, hey, I was going through it.
- 47:22Speaker 4: So I just got a bottle of you know, Mad
- 47:24Speaker 4: Dog twenty twenty, and I just couldn't stop it's two
- 47:27Speaker 4: different things, I think in her mind, but really it's
- 47:29Speaker 4: the same. Addiction is addiction and self medicatd she admitted
- 47:32Speaker 4: to self medicating, and then she alluded to, you know,
- 47:36Speaker 4: sexual abuse in the past, and I get that a
- 47:38Speaker 4: lot of us can understand that and relate to that.
- 47:41Speaker 4: But Karen and I just want you to know, like
- 47:43Speaker 4: it's we're not gonna well, I'm I don't think anyone
- 47:46Speaker 4: here is gonna judge you any less for having an addiction.
- 47:49Speaker 4: Addiction is addiction, whether you're self medicating through prescription drugs
- 47:53Speaker 4: or alcohol. It's too dull, some kind of pain like
- 47:55Speaker 4: that is the problem that needs to be addressed, right
- 47:57Speaker 4: because it's gonna always be, you know, a substance. But
- 48:02Speaker 4: I think she thinks it's a little classy or maybe
- 48:04Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not in her mind, but as an
- 48:06Speaker 4: outsider looking in, I think that's maybe she thinks it's
- 48:09Speaker 4: like a less like I don't know, derogatory diagnosis, a
- 48:14Speaker 4: less negative thing to be prescription drugs instead of alcohol.
- 48:18Speaker 2: Dustin, do you think Karen was trying to downplay her
- 48:23Speaker 2: alcoholism by mentioning prescription drugs and even saying that she
- 48:29Speaker 2: prefers narcotics anonymous versus alcohol anonymous.
- 48:35Speaker 6: Yeah, I do.
- 48:37Speaker 5: I think that from her years on the show, we
- 48:40Speaker 5: know that people calling her a drunk is a trigger
- 48:42Speaker 5: for her, you know what I'm saying. That's why they
- 48:44Speaker 5: will always weaponize it and use it. We remember people
- 48:47Speaker 5: to Giselle in season six when they were at Wendy's
- 48:51Speaker 5: nude interlude and she was telling Karen, I'm just going
- 48:53Speaker 5: to tell your truth. I'm gonna tell your drunk truth.
- 48:55Speaker 5: I'm gonna tell you. They've always weaponized that towards her.
- 48:58Speaker 5: You were sitting at a bar with blue eyes at.
- 49:01Speaker 6: A bar, You're drunk. They've always said that.
- 49:04Speaker 5: So yes, I think that she was trying to run
- 49:06Speaker 5: away from being as attached. I think she was trying
- 49:12Speaker 5: to run away from alcoholism. Being at the center of
- 49:15Speaker 5: this story, if that makes any sense.
- 49:17Speaker 6: She was willing to.
- 49:18Speaker 5: Acknowledge it, but really stepping in and standing in and saying, y'all,
- 49:22Speaker 5: I have a drinking problem, and that and I was
- 49:24Speaker 5: drunk that night, off my ass, and you know, she
- 49:26Speaker 5: added in a lot of other elements and layers which
- 49:29Speaker 5: may be relevant. I don't know, you know what I'm saying,
- 49:32Speaker 5: but We know she has an issue with alcohol. We
- 49:35Speaker 5: saw that video, we saw the car, we saw Ray
- 49:38Speaker 5: trying his best.
- 49:38Speaker 6: To go through that pocketbook.
- 49:40Speaker 5: We know that Karen has an issue with alcohol, and
- 49:43Speaker 5: so I just hope that she she is able to
- 49:47Speaker 5: be in lifelong treatment like she suggested she was going
- 49:50Speaker 5: to be in and work towards, you know, healing with that.
- 49:54Speaker 5: Because yeah, I'll just say that, and she did.
- 49:58Speaker 4: She did eventually admit to being having a is she
- 50:00Speaker 4: with alcohol. So I don't want people to think that
- 50:02Speaker 4: we're saying she didn't admit it, and she didn't say
- 50:04Speaker 4: it the way we wanted her to say it when
- 50:05Speaker 4: I say that, but it was like she wanted to
- 50:08Speaker 4: go to the NA member. She had a choice between
- 50:11Speaker 4: narcotics anonymous and alcoholic anonymous. She says she preferred that.
- 50:14Speaker 4: I think she I'm We're, hey, y'all, we're just giving
- 50:17Speaker 4: our opinions. We don't know her like that. We're just
- 50:19Speaker 4: giving our opinions outsiders looking in what it appeared like
- 50:23Speaker 4: she did. To her credit, she definitely did. When pressed,
- 50:25Speaker 4: she did say she did have a problem with drinking,
- 50:27Speaker 4: and she did own it. But I feel like her
- 50:30Speaker 4: first mind was to go towards the prescription drugs before
- 50:33Speaker 4: the alcohol. That's all we're saying, y'all, we're not dragging Karen.
- 50:37Speaker 4: We are definitely giving her props. And it couldn't have
- 50:39Speaker 4: been easy to have to sit there across from Andy
- 50:42Speaker 4: one week out when you probably just don't want to
- 50:44Speaker 4: talk about it anymore. She probably had to talk about
- 50:45Speaker 4: it so much in jail.
- 50:47Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was my thing and the second part
- 50:50Speaker 1: of my own feelings.
- 50:53Speaker 2: And again I'm really speaking as a producer too, And
- 50:56Speaker 2: like I said, I would have done the exact same
- 50:58Speaker 2: thing producers have done.
- 51:00Speaker 1: So I'm really watching this to his viewer.
- 51:03Speaker 2: I just don't think Karen was ready to have a conversation,
- 51:06Speaker 2: and I don't think anybody let's have a real conversation.
- 51:10Speaker 1: I don't think.
- 51:10Speaker 2: Anybody is ready a week after being in jail for
- 51:15Speaker 2: ten months talking about something so difficult some may think embarrassing.
- 51:22Speaker 2: My heart bled for Karen throughout that entire forty.
- 51:26Speaker 1: Two minute episode.
- 51:28Speaker 2: That and it does it's onto something because again I
- 51:33Speaker 2: was I was watching Teresa lead prison to see her children.
- 51:39Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you all the difference. Teresa was
- 51:42Speaker 1: in prison because of something her.
- 51:44Speaker 2: Husband did, and they had nothing to do with any
- 51:48Speaker 2: self inflicted.
- 51:51Speaker 1: Reasons that she was there. She unfortunately signed some paperwork.
- 51:55Speaker 2: That was presented to her and she got locked up, right,
- 51:58Speaker 2: So seeing that that was much more of a warm
- 52:01Speaker 2: welcome dust Inpy. Maybe it is sort of like seeing
- 52:05Speaker 2: like your your big auntie, your grown untie, your whatever.
- 52:09Speaker 6: Your mama. You know what I'm saying, Like, yeah, it just.
- 52:14Speaker 1: In that fragile state.
- 52:16Speaker 2: I I had a I had.
- 52:19Speaker 1: An you nosy.
- 52:21Speaker 2: I had an extremely hard time finishing it because I
- 52:26Speaker 2: wanted to reach through the television until Karen hold her
- 52:32Speaker 2: hands saying everything's gonna be okay, and and you don't
- 52:36Speaker 2: owe me nothing, and I'm gonna say this and I'm
- 52:40Speaker 2: not gonna take it back.
- 52:41Speaker 1: Hey, Heavenly.
- 52:43Speaker 2: The reason I can say I think Karen should have
- 52:49Speaker 2: waited maybe three months to do the interview is because
- 52:55Speaker 2: there's so much to process being in prison for that
- 52:58Speaker 2: long period of time. And just last week I dropped
- 53:03Speaker 2: an interview that I did with British Williams otherwise who
- 53:08Speaker 2: was in prison, dusn't and Claudia for nineteen months. She
- 53:13Speaker 2: was in prison for nineteen months and the beauty of
- 53:17Speaker 2: my conversation with British doesn't Claudia. I had her exclusive
- 53:22Speaker 2: interview before she went to jail, and thank you British
- 53:26Speaker 2: and her team for giving me the exclusive post prison
- 53:29Speaker 2: and Claudia Dustin and arranged y'all watched it. What I
- 53:32Speaker 2: will say to you is she it was two different
- 53:37Speaker 2: people who British was about to turn herself in. When
- 53:41Speaker 2: she interviewed me, she made excuses. She was out accountable.
- 53:46Speaker 2: She said, we all did it. Why did I get
- 53:47Speaker 2: called boomah blah boom And I remember being looking at
- 53:50Speaker 2: her like baby, I just want you to heal.
- 53:54Speaker 1: When British got out exclusive for you guys her credit.
- 54:01Speaker 2: She waited two months maybe three months before she spoke
- 54:05Speaker 2: to me because she had to get back to life.
- 54:09Speaker 1: She has a daughter, she had to get acclimated to life.
- 54:13Speaker 2: In my interview, she said, Carlos, I took for granted
- 54:17Speaker 2: smelling fresh air.
- 54:19Speaker 1: I am not gonna cry.
- 54:20Speaker 2: She said she took for granted smelling fresh air because
- 54:24Speaker 2: she was able to allow herself to process it. And
- 54:27Speaker 2: the thing with Karen that made me so sad for her.
- 54:31Speaker 2: I I just don't think she should have done it.
- 54:36Speaker 2: I would have wanted her to wait three months to
- 54:38Speaker 2: process something she went through as a.
- 54:41Speaker 1: Older woman on television doesn't is right.
- 54:46Speaker 2: Unfortunately, you know, she was weaponized as the old lady
- 54:50Speaker 2: drunk or the drunk who would pass out at bars.
- 54:53Speaker 2: And I just don't think Karen was ready to have
- 54:57Speaker 2: a conversation.
- 54:58Speaker 1: And that's fine. I don't I think anybody.
- 55:01Speaker 2: Is fucking ready to have a conversation a week after
- 55:06Speaker 2: after going home for prison. Let me let me sit still.
- 55:11Speaker 2: And my concern for her is the fact that all
- 55:15Speaker 2: of the attention, I just don't want these I don't
- 55:19Speaker 2: want the attention that she's getting now to do anything
- 55:24Speaker 2: to her spirit that allows her to return to something
- 55:28Speaker 2: she's trying to break away from.
- 55:30Speaker 4: I think some people and folks might get mad about this,
- 55:34Speaker 4: are having an issue with like like I'm seeing people
- 55:37Speaker 4: saying they don't feel bad because although she did not
- 55:40Speaker 4: harm anyone in this last incident, it could have gone
- 55:44Speaker 4: really bad. It didn't. But it is something that we
- 55:47Speaker 4: got to start taking seriously. And anyone, my heart goes
- 55:49Speaker 4: out to anyone who has lost anyone in a drunk
- 55:51Speaker 4: driving accident where they was mine of their business and
- 55:54Speaker 4: they were round, they were they hit head on and
- 55:56Speaker 4: they survived the accident because they're loose, and the the
- 56:01Speaker 4: victim dies, you know what I'm saying. So I just
- 56:04Speaker 4: I feel like I don't want people to think we're
- 56:05Speaker 4: bathing her because we love her. It is a serious issue,
- 56:10Speaker 4: and that's why I think I know me personally, that's
- 56:12Speaker 4: why I'm staying on the I don't think she's like
- 56:15Speaker 4: wanting to embrace the alcoholic part. It is very serious
- 56:20Speaker 4: and that's why she was made to sit down for
- 56:22Speaker 4: a little while. And yes, I do agree with you, Carls.
- 56:26Speaker 4: I do think a week was too soon, like because
- 56:28Speaker 4: you go through your prison. I mean I've never been,
- 56:30Speaker 4: of course, to jail at prison, but you go through it,
- 56:31Speaker 4: I would imagine there's gotta be some decompressing and maybe
- 56:35Speaker 4: you're not processing everything in jail. Maybe when you get
- 56:37Speaker 4: out is when you do and you realize damn, like
- 56:40Speaker 4: I haven't been able to Maybe it hits you later,
- 56:42Speaker 4: but maybe more time could have been taken. It did
- 56:45Speaker 4: seem like it was a little soon in the game.
- 56:47Speaker 4: And I bet you if they interviewed her, or if
- 56:48Speaker 4: you interviewed her and like maybe two three months, it
- 56:51Speaker 4: may come across even better. For her because she's had
- 56:54Speaker 4: time to really process everything.
- 56:56Speaker 5: Motherfuckers can miss me with the selective outrage when it
- 56:59Speaker 5: comes to Karen Huger. Not in the world where you
- 57:02Speaker 5: got Kim Barell literally doing interviews on the Red Carpet
- 57:05Speaker 5: saying as a mother and as a Christian, she loves r.
- 57:08Speaker 6: Kelly as a person and she supports his music. Nobody
- 57:12Speaker 6: gave a damn about that.
- 57:13Speaker 5: And he is in jail right now for doing crimes
- 57:16Speaker 5: against children, right. Yeah, she said that recently on the
- 57:20Speaker 5: Red Carpet because she had covered his shrap in the closet.
- 57:23Speaker 6: Beat miss me with it.
- 57:25Speaker 5: Karen went to motherfucking jail for her fourth DUI, which
- 57:30Speaker 5: is egregious as fun, unsafe as fuck, very dangerous, and
- 57:34Speaker 5: could have resulted in some very dire consequences.
- 57:38Speaker 6: But jail.
- 57:39Speaker 5: Going to jail itself is of dire consequence. Okay, So
- 57:43Speaker 5: she paid her debt to society. This moral grandstanding that
- 57:47Speaker 5: people are doing when we living in today's world where
- 57:51Speaker 5: y'all don't make an issue out of nothing the fuck else.
- 57:53Speaker 5: But y'all want to throw the book at Karen Huger
- 57:56Speaker 5: because she was it was her fourth DUI. That's a
- 57:59Speaker 5: little unfair to me, So people can miss me with that.
- 58:02Speaker 5: We're talking about an older black woman who went to jail,
- 58:06Speaker 5: paid her.
- 58:06Speaker 6: Debt to society and it's out.
- 58:08Speaker 5: Now what else we supposed to do to her, y'all?
- 58:11Speaker 5: What else were supposed to do? Every time we talk
- 58:13Speaker 5: about her, we got to say, well, she could have
- 58:14Speaker 5: killed somebody, not you, not even you I'm talking about.
- 58:21Speaker 6: I just said it was, and we know it is.
- 58:23Speaker 5: But that don't mean that we have to lambast her,
- 58:26Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, when we are letting so
- 58:28Speaker 5: much other shit slide that is morally decomposed. Okay, stop
- 58:35Speaker 5: trying to hold her to a higher standard and act
- 58:37Speaker 5: like but she was wrong, So we got to make
- 58:38Speaker 5: sure we mention it every time when they don't say
- 58:41Speaker 5: shit else about a whole lot of other shit dolling
- 58:44Speaker 5: people's songs. That's why I said, not audience, y'all still
- 58:50Speaker 5: listening to songs, y'all. Still it's still patronizing certain things.
- 58:55Speaker 5: Y'all are still doing all that. So I understand that
- 58:58Speaker 5: Karen committed a very serious crime, but miss me with
- 59:02Speaker 5: all of that, because it ain't just her that's fucking up.
- 59:06Speaker 5: And I don't understand why after she did a whole
- 59:08Speaker 5: bit people still want motherfuckers to just I don't know
- 59:12Speaker 5: what they want, but I don't like that. I don't
- 59:15Speaker 5: like that misalignment. That's not fair, Claudia.
- 59:21Speaker 2: Do you think that when it comes to Karen that
- 59:26Speaker 2: people are justified for and listen, we're humans and you
- 59:30Speaker 2: can do what you want to do a child. Do
- 59:32Speaker 2: you think, though, Claudia, that people are justified who believe that,
- 59:36Speaker 2: you know, whatever, Karen, you could have killed somebody, and
- 59:39Speaker 2: I'm going to constantly remind you of your behavior every
- 59:44Speaker 2: chance I get.
- 59:45Speaker 1: Do you think that's fair to her? Do you understand it?
- 59:47Speaker 2: Or do you think people should allow some grace to
- 59:51Speaker 2: happen and just see what happens, because one thing they
- 59:54Speaker 2: do tell you in AA is to take it one
- 59:57Speaker 2: day at a time.
- 59:59Speaker 4: Do I think it's fair that people keep reminding her
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: that you said, you meet you.
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: You know some people they're like, like you were saying earlier,
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: there are people who are saying, like.
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: I don't feel sorry for her, like she could have
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: killed somebody.
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: Do you think that people should Do you think do
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: you think it's right that people feel the need to
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: obviously mention that as she did her bid.
- 1:00:22Speaker 4: I think the only reason that people are doing not
- 1:00:25Speaker 4: the one of the reasons people are doing that is
- 1:00:27Speaker 4: because they felt in that interview she still wasn't embracing it.
- 1:00:31Speaker 4: And that's why I'm a little bit like, oh, perfect opportunity.
- 1:00:34Speaker 4: Just embrace it, address it, and you can move on
- 1:00:38Speaker 4: and then no one could fall to for it. That's
- 1:00:39Speaker 4: all I'm saying, you know what I'm saying. Like, it's like,
- 1:00:42Speaker 4: if she would have just handled it that in that moment,
- 1:00:44Speaker 4: no everyone could shut the hell up about it. Because
- 1:00:46Speaker 4: she did kind of denying it is what's making people say, yeah,
- 1:00:51Speaker 4: but you could have you know what I'm saying. So
- 1:00:52Speaker 4: I think she missed an opportunity to just like shut
- 1:00:55Speaker 4: it down right, then of course you're gonna have people.
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: I also think this too. I'm trying to cut you
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: all clos because I love that we're having this debate.
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: That's the reason why I keep saying like, and again,
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: I'm not trying to suff promote because you could. I
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: do encourage anybody to if you have two hours to spare,
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: watch British before she went to prison, and watched British
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: talking to me three months after prison is a different person,
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: because I do think there is something about allowing yourself
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: to heal without Let's have a rough conversation.
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: Can you to imagine going.
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: Through something that you felt was embarrassing And I'm like, hey, Dustin,
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: you want to have a mother not live, I'm gonna
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: pay you X amount of dollars.
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: You're like, well, shit, I need the money. I was
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: out of work for a year, you know. And again
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: you don't.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: You don't, And I do want people to get for
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: for the second this conversation, let's not think of the addiction.
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: What I'm thinking of.
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: Imagine an embarrassing moment for you and you talk about
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: it a week later, and maybe at that time you
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: don't know how to process it. When people are saying
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: Karen did not take anyccomfortability, I would encourage you all
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: to give her some grace in terms of it was
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: a week after she got out, and sure and ten months, yes,
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: of course she could have. But it took me to
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: talk to British for British to say to me, Carlos,
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: I did not get it until months end, and she
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: was there for nineteen months, and she admitted it took
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: her months to accept her fate and to stop blaming God.
- 1:02:40Speaker 4: So I think that's something we could all agree on.
- 1:02:42Speaker 4: Then it was too soon. It was too soon. The
- 1:02:46Speaker 4: lessons got to stick. When the lesson's gonna stick, she's
- 1:02:48Speaker 4: not gonna get it on our timeline. It's going to
- 1:02:51Speaker 4: be on hers. And maybe the thing that's that fault
- 1:02:55Speaker 4: here is the timing that it was a little soon.
- 1:02:58Speaker 4: I bet you month from now she'll have an even
- 1:03:01Speaker 4: deeper perspective of it. All that will be that no
- 1:03:04Speaker 4: one could really criticize as much. I think it was. Yeah,
- 1:03:06Speaker 4: it was. That's why I was like, blink twice. If
- 1:03:08Speaker 4: you're being forced to do this interview, I mean so soon.
- 1:03:11Speaker 4: Of course you want to have this interview, But I
- 1:03:13Speaker 4: actually think, like you just getting home, you're feeling me like, yeah,
- 1:03:16Speaker 4: it's great TV for us, But personally for her, that
- 1:03:20Speaker 4: probably wasn't the best thing for her. For her about her,
- 1:03:25Speaker 4: I was eating that shit up. I was like, oh
- 1:03:26Speaker 4: my god, this is this is so she's being raw,
- 1:03:29Speaker 4: but for her, that wasn't probably the best thing for her.
- 1:03:32Speaker 5: My thing is the piece I was speaking to about
- 1:03:36Speaker 5: people holding her to a higher moral standard than they're
- 1:03:38Speaker 5: holding any fucking body else. That conversation got started the
- 1:03:43Speaker 5: day that we found out she was released from from
- 1:03:46Speaker 5: the facility she was in. That's when the conversation started.
- 1:03:49Speaker 5: Karen shouldn't have got out of jail. She don't deserve
- 1:03:52Speaker 5: to come back to this show, you know, x y Z.
- 1:03:56Speaker 5: All of that chatter started right then. So the interview
- 1:04:01Speaker 5: didn't make it any better because she wasn't And Carlos,
- 1:04:04Speaker 5: she brought up such a great example referencing the British
- 1:04:08Speaker 5: Williams exit interview because I watched you know, of course
- 1:04:11Speaker 5: I don't watching anything you put out, nigga, So I
- 1:04:13Speaker 5: watched the first interview, and of course I just watched
- 1:04:16Speaker 5: the most recent interview, and her perspective.
- 1:04:20Speaker 6: On the shift or pivot mentally she had to make.
- 1:04:25Speaker 5: Was so different, and so it was such a stark
- 1:04:28Speaker 5: contrast from karen sentiments about something that was both two
- 1:04:32Speaker 5: totally different crimes, but it was a different reflection post release.
- 1:04:36Speaker 5: So I get exactly what you're saying. The only thing
- 1:04:40Speaker 5: I'm saying is get up off of her. If y'all
- 1:04:43Speaker 5: not gonna pold every motherfucking body to that same standard,
- 1:04:46Speaker 5: because it seems unfair to me.
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: Yeah, like Orage.
- 1:04:50Speaker 4: I think we'll get a better understanding of where she
- 1:04:52Speaker 4: is at the reunion because that's way But then also
- 1:04:56Speaker 4: that's also gonna be made potentially a hostile situation. Who
- 1:04:59Speaker 4: knows on my throat stuff on her face? But we'll
- 1:05:02Speaker 4: get to see there's any growth there.
- 1:05:04Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: Probably Our last one is I want to get into
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: Karen has smoke for Wendy and as look, I have
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: watched every single frame, every single scene of Potomac.
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: Dustin.
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: I know you have to Claudia, she's just getting warmed
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: up to the show and she loves it too. But
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: unless I miss something and Dustin, I feel like Dustin
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: knows way more, does it remembers way more than.
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: I can about these shows.
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: I'm not sure what the hell Wendy did to Karen
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: for Wendy to deserve this level of smoke. She said,
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: Dustin and Claudia that look when Andy showed her how
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: the girls were talking about her at the reunion. This
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: is me being a view were I'm gonna get to
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: that brown exsign. Look Ashley saying that, yeah, she was
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: in legal seafood, you know, drinking and pretty much falling
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: off a chairs. Then the girl's talking about that, and
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: Wendy said their quiet and said, well, you were pressing me.
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: That's what I wanted to know, Ashley said at first,
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: because in Wendy's defense, Wendy wasn't gonna say anything. It
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: took Ashley to say it. And Wendy said, what Ashley
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: said is what I was going to say when y'all
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: were pressuring me. So for Karen to say I did
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: not mention her on purpose, and she knows why I
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: did not mention her. And I'm just like, I don't
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: remember any scene where Wendy deserved the smoke that Karen's
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: giving her justin did I miss something?
- 1:06:47Speaker 5: No, you didn't, My brother, that rift originated on screen
- 1:06:52Speaker 5: for us at the reunion with the omission of Wendy
- 1:06:55Speaker 5: from Karen's video of thank yous and reflections, and we
- 1:06:58Speaker 5: were all sitting there just is confused, and apparently it's
- 1:07:02Speaker 5: still up, you know what I'm saying. Karen said, it's
- 1:07:05Speaker 5: still up. It's still beat. What's up?
- 1:07:07Speaker 6: And so I think that we all have a couple
- 1:07:09Speaker 6: of question marks there, and.
- 1:07:12Speaker 5: I just hope it's not another situation where like you
- 1:07:15Speaker 5: wish death on my husband. You know what I'm saying,
- 1:07:17Speaker 5: where like, Karen, this is a made up grievance, Like,
- 1:07:19Speaker 5: what are you talking about? I hope it's not another
- 1:07:21Speaker 5: situation like that, and knowing Karen, it could be, so
- 1:07:24Speaker 5: we'll see. But I know she was playing ping pong
- 1:07:27Speaker 5: with Wendy at that reunion when she taught her I
- 1:07:30Speaker 5: know what I'm talking about because I've been through follow
- 1:07:33Speaker 5: me with Professor, shut the fuck up. When she said
- 1:07:36Speaker 5: that on that reunion trailer, I was like, yeah, okay,
- 1:07:39Speaker 5: so she came out swinging, so it'll be good. But no,
- 1:07:42Speaker 5: I don't know what the hell she mad at Wendy for.
- 1:07:44Speaker 5: She's just mad at her.
- 1:07:45Speaker 4: Did Wendy speak on Karen's imprisonment in her case, didn't
- 1:07:49Speaker 4: I hear something?
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: Is that you?
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: No?
- 1:07:51Speaker 6: She didn't.
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: And and Claudia, to Duss's point, last season, it wasn't
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: after reunion because she was serving time. So she did
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: a video that you saw Claudia where she pretty much
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: she thank everybody, plus Andy the production child. She thanked
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: Craft Services, baby, the doorman, the security guard.
- 1:08:10Speaker 4: The grips, everybody, even the grips.
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: Behind the boy baby, and she elected to say Wendy's name.
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: So we're just confused what Wendy did, and she was crypted.
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: She said she knows what she did.
- 1:08:23Speaker 4: And I'm like, well, can you tell us, babe, because
- 1:08:25Speaker 4: we don't, so maybe we'll maybe we'll find out the reunion.
- 1:08:29Speaker 4: Seeing Karen there at the reunion, like the clips I've
- 1:08:32Speaker 4: seen so far, like I thought the season was very entertainment,
- 1:08:35Speaker 4: very entertaining. I said at the beginning, damn Potomac girl.
- 1:08:38Speaker 4: They work hard for their checks and see there's no dead,
- 1:08:43Speaker 4: dull scenes. But then seeing Karen with the girls, I'm like,
- 1:08:47Speaker 4: it's like if you weren't judging the Olympics and you
- 1:08:51Speaker 4: judge gymnastics and you gave like a ten to performance
- 1:08:53Speaker 4: and you're like ten, and then the very next act
- 1:08:57Speaker 4: comes out to that and you're like, god, damn it,
- 1:09:00Speaker 4: I can't give a score a high and in ten,
- 1:09:01Speaker 4: that's what it looks like when Karen's added now, because
- 1:09:04Speaker 4: now I'm like, I can't wait for now her back,
- 1:09:07Speaker 4: like if I liked it, because you know, I haven't
- 1:09:09Speaker 4: really been I haven't been an avid watching from the beginning.
- 1:09:11Speaker 4: I've just poked around here and there and I'm in
- 1:09:13Speaker 4: the salon. But this past year with you guys, I've
- 1:09:15Speaker 4: been watching it full on every single week, but I'm
- 1:09:18Speaker 4: just like, I'm like, wow, I've been missing out all
- 1:09:20Speaker 4: these years, Like I'm looking forward to it.
- 1:09:23Speaker 6: Yeah, it looked good. I miss Karen. Okay, then they
- 1:09:27Speaker 6: make you miss Karen Claudia.
- 1:09:29Speaker 5: Like just seeing her in that little corner of the
- 1:09:31Speaker 5: reunion trailer, I was like.
- 1:09:32Speaker 6: Damn, and she looked good.
- 1:09:34Speaker 4: That dress, the hair batter and like she looked she
- 1:09:36Speaker 4: was doing it. What did he say? That's food or
- 1:09:39Speaker 4: is it a boob coming up?
- 1:09:40Speaker 6: He said his dog. He had to let his dog out.
- 1:09:43Speaker 4: Oh, they beget some people like when we talk about
- 1:09:45Speaker 4: our personal lives, but sometimes they get mad. Oh y'all
- 1:09:47Speaker 4: to wait too much talk about sexy with I'm like,
- 1:09:50Speaker 4: can we we don't. We haven't been able to hang
- 1:09:52Speaker 4: out in person. Can we just key key for a
- 1:09:54Speaker 4: little bit? We gotta, y'all mad? We talk about other people,
- 1:09:57Speaker 4: then you Maden, we talk about each other. You mad,
- 1:09:59Speaker 4: We talk abo ourselves.
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: It's all great the show so Plentia doesn't Brianna Aaron
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: said it must be serious though, because Ashley said on
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: Washing what happens a lot? I'm sorry on the after
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: show that whatever Karen is mad at Wendy.
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: About is justified.
- 1:10:17Speaker 6: Wen See.
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: Okay, last thing, what did y'all think when this this
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: touched me? What did y'all think when Karen said that
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: she and Ray are a work in progress and he
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: offered her to leave him once she took the monkey
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: off her back?
- 1:10:37Speaker 6: It's honest.
- 1:10:41Speaker 4: If you love something, let it go and if it
- 1:10:43Speaker 4: comes back it's meant to be, and then let it
- 1:10:46Speaker 4: go again, just to make sure, not let it go twice.
- 1:10:50Speaker 5: But the thing about it, I feel like if Karen
- 1:10:52Speaker 5: lens Ray go, she's gonna hold his arm and walk
- 1:10:54Speaker 5: him out of the house down the driveway. Right, She's
- 1:10:57Speaker 5: never really gonna let go of Right, you know what
- 1:10:59Speaker 5: I'm saying. I don't think they're ever gonna break up.
- 1:11:02Speaker 5: I actually am exhausted with them. You know we're going through, Karen,
- 1:11:06Speaker 5: You've been talking at Yang for what tense fucking seasons
- 1:11:08Speaker 5: about you and Ray?
- 1:11:09Speaker 6: Who first your marriage is an institution, Then you know
- 1:11:12Speaker 6: we go through. I'm tired of it. Ain't nothing wrong
- 1:11:15Speaker 6: with you and Ray.
- 1:11:16Speaker 5: That man is sitting there, just happy to have on
- 1:11:18Speaker 5: his sweater and his sandsor belts and his shoes and
- 1:11:22Speaker 5: just Ray is just happy to be you know, have
- 1:11:25Speaker 5: his clothes on, eat a meal during the day. He
- 1:11:28Speaker 5: is not causing no problems, okay, And so I am
- 1:11:31Speaker 5: having trouble believing that. I'll just be honest about that.
- 1:11:35Speaker 5: I don't think there's nothing wrong.
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: I actually agree.
- 1:11:39Speaker 5: I don't think there's nothing wrong with her and Ray,
- 1:11:42Speaker 5: and I'm sick of it.
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: I think Ray is somebody who's like, I live a
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: great life. I mean a lot of money made, money lost, money,
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: may may lost again, like everybody does in life. And
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: I think Ray is at the point of his life
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: where he's like, I'm just I'm just happy to be
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: around and seeing my kids grow up.
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: I think when it comes to Karen, I think Karen,
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: and we're gonna say this, I'm gonna move on from.
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: It because it's true. I think Karen. Listen, Karen's gorgeous.
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: She looks much younger than her age. And I think
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: Ray understands that his wife is very young and happening
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: and may get attention.
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: And I think he's like, if that's what you want,
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: I'm not gonna stop you. I really do think he's like, dude.
- 1:12:30Speaker 4: Raise eighty two, right, He's eighty two years old. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:12:37Speaker 4: Ray's like, I'm not starting over again, and Karen's like, dah,
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: I got a new lease on life. I just got
- 1:12:44Speaker 4: out of Slammer. I ain't done it in six months.
- 1:12:48Speaker 4: I don't know what Ray's going through, but I'm still
- 1:12:50Speaker 4: kind of popping on. I look good, hands together, face snatched.
- 1:12:54Speaker 4: I worked out in the gym, posting us up, raise down.
- 1:12:59Speaker 4: I think Karen, she says, you want to have fun,
- 1:13:01Speaker 4: but you want to leave your old faithful like that
- 1:13:02Speaker 4: is definitely your security. But I feel, you know, he's
- 1:13:07Speaker 4: eighty two, though he is eighty two, Just stay put.
