  Speaker 4: out big mistake, right, like pretty woman, it really is.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: And I'm just myself and you either love me or
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: you hate me, and it is what it is. But
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: give me a shot. And I think you know, you
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: get to see a lot of different sides of Gurtie.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: No, we love you.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: So I want to get back to just your background
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: because you are from Haiti.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, you're a Haitian American. Talk to me just.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: About that background and what it means to be a
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: powerful black woman in Florida but also worldwide in terms
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: of your business and really seeing that you are a
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: force to be reckoned with.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I was born in Haiti and at
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: the age of one, my family and I'm one of
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: seven kids, so I'm number six of seven. And of
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: the whole seven children, there's five girls and two so
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: kudos to my father for that, right, So I'm number
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: six and at that time there's only six of us.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: My sister was born nine years after me, so I
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: was the youngest one when I was in Haiti, literally
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: the last picture of us is me in my mom's arm.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: And then you know, my father decided because of the
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: political turmoil there that we were going to move to France.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: So I was only one going to France. So Haiti
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: has a very special place in my heart because it's
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: I am Haitian and it's in my blood. But unfortunately
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I never get the chance to live and feel the
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: soil and feel that culture beat, and so away from
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Haiti is where I get the sense of being Haitian.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: But I always feel like that's a miss in my
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: life and avoid that I hope comes full circle and
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I end up back in my country some way, somehow.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: So I, you know, raised in France for eight years.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: At the age of nine, my father says, okay, America
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: is the place to be. Everyone's going to America, all
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: of our friends, et cetera. And we migrate to America.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Now that's a whole other story. But I came to
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: this country and not speaking of word of English. I
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: spoke French and a little bit of Creole, and you know,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: trying to get acclimated. And the thing with with with
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Miami is that you know, there's a lot of cultures already,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: so Now it's this girl who says she's Haitian, but
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: she kind of speaks Haitian but she has an accent,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: so she's friends, Oh, you think it better than me.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: So I had to struggle to just fit in. And
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: that's been my whole whole life, always trying to like
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: fit in somewhere somehow, the whole thing, you know. And
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: then come to Miami and this is actually what I
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: consider my home because here is where you have that
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: culture cultural mix, and everybody just kind of, you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: appreciates each other, each other culture, and I just love
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: to be here because this is really a special sauce,
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: is what I like to call it. And I'm just
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: very proud to be in Miami and you know, representing
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Haiti friends and America here here in the three or five.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: No, honey, you are the secret sauce. When it comes
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: to how you were planted here. Yeah, what was your
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: teenage years like being somebody who came here not speaking
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: a leak of English? Was it difficult for you to
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: make friends?
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Very difficult? And what happens is I see my story
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: is told in my photos. I go through my albums
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh, that's the face when I try
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: to fit into this crowd. That's the face when I
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: try to fit into this other crowd. And you imagine
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: I will never not have an accent, you know, I'm
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: never gonna be normal in a sense. And I've learned
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: to accept me because I'm a lot, i know. And
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: when I walk in the room, I'm like, hey, guys,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: how are you? And people not everyone's able to receive it,
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: like you like we we're here, we're like firecrackers because
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: we're so full of life and we appreciate life, so
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: we live out loud and everyone's like, oh my god,
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: you're too much. And so I lived my life literally
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: feeling confident when I came to America, and then it's like,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: oh no, they don't like me over here. Oh no,
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: they don't like me over there. And it's tiring. It's
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: tiring to try to fit in. So now I realized,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: just do me, and those who are going to be
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: my tribe will be my vibe, and that's it. That's
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: what I can offer, and it's worked out for me
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: ever since. But I had to put myself in the
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: leadership position because there's so many people like me that
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: won't speak up for that. And in high school, elementary school,
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: I'm going to say elementary school is the worst. And
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: then junior high was acclamation, and then high school was
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: the takeover and the queen took her crown. Literally, I
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: was promp queen and everything. By the end. Yeah, and
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: I got my king over there, and twenty eight years later,
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: I'm living my best life. And it is it is
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: what it is.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Why was elementary school hard for you?
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Why? Because I was the tallest girl. I was literally
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: pretty much this height with my father was a pastor,
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: so you got the freaking braids, with the ribbon, with
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: the you know, all of that I was. I was
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: here at the age of fourth grade, third grade, going
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: into fourth grade, and so all the kids were making
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: fun of me. I had to go to a special
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: class called ESOL, which is special education for like English learners.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: It was really bad. I was wearing like you know,
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: church outfits and like you know, raise my hair, and
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: all the girls have perms, and I was tall and
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: they used to call me giraffe. And I didn't speak English,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: and so it was hard. It was really hard. And
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, I'm like, wait, I am
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: the tallest, so actually I'm towering over them, so like
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: a giraffe andey, I look down on you people. That's
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: how I had to set myself out to be like
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: I'm a bad ditch, and little by little, little by little,
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: I just started gaining that confidence back to what I
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: used to have in France, because in France, you didn't
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: mess with me. Somebody was getting beat up or I'm
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: gonna call Gerdy. And by the way, exclusive my name
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: was not Gerdy in France, Okay. I had what they
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: called me in friends is Elicieba. So my full name
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: is Gerdy Elisheba Regui. That's my full name.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I know, Okay, I want to pronounce it.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: It's Gerdid Elicia Ba Alicia BONI like it's rejoiced, but
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: like it's with REGI.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: So that that was my name, So imagine that's friendship.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know whatever my mom was thinking of, Honey,
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: that woman was very creative and so this kid the
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: reason why we switched my switch my name. You're getting
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: so many details here that no one even knows. So
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: when I came to America, I was like, oh, my
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: name is Elicia Belt and they were like, what Alicia
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: bum bum bum bum bum. They were making fun of
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: my name, and then I'm like, okay, how am I
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: going to do this? Girdy Gerty, Gerty Gerty, Oh Gerty, okay, girl,
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: g you name. I'm like, okay, okay, let's do this.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: So it switched to Gerty. But I came to this
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: country with a completely different name, which was my middle name,
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: and then I ended up leading with my first name.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: So now is gerdy.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Y fascinating? Fascinating?
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: How did you get into.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Wedding planning, design and just the beauty aspect of your career?
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: So, like I told you, by the end of high school,
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: going into college, I was a full boss. I owned myself,
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: I owned my truth, and I owned my identity. And
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: so I went to Saint Thomas University, which is the
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: same college that my husband went to, and I stayed behind.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Actually another exclusive, I wanted to pursue ballroom dancing. That
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: was that, yes, I know. That was after high school.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: I fell in love with watching Dance with Me with
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Vanessa Williams. I said, this is me, I am her,
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: she is me. I'm going to New York and I'm
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: learning the chatcha honey, Okay. And then he had me
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: at hell and I said, I'm this is this is it.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: He is my future. And I stayed here and I
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: don't regret a thing because obviously, look at this beautiful life.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Two kids later, the whole thing. And so that's why
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: now in exercising, I'm like, okay, I'm walking, I'm doing elliptical.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Now I'm getting back into my groove of dancing again.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: So I feel so happy. And everyone's like, oh my god,
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: you should be on dancing with the stores, and I'm like,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: I could only wish and dream to represent. Can you imagine?
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: So it's a whole of the village, honey, she knows
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: a little self, little something something. Yes, indeed, what was
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: your question again? So how did I become due to
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: event planning? Right? Yes? So then I decided to go
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: into communication arts because in my mind, I'm like, I'm
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: gonna be a news anchor if I'm not gonna go
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: ballroom dancing, So I'm going to stay here and do
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: communication arts. And then I'm like, you know, I have
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: an accent, and I feel like this, I'm better in
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: the back of the house producing my shows than being
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: in the front. As a quote unquote reporter, So then
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden, I was VP and then president
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: of the TV station at my college, and then all
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: of a sudden, I ended up getting a job at
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: the alumni office doing event planning for them and throwing
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: all these gallas to raise money. And they wanted me
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: to go around and meet with all these alumni and
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: ask for money, and I'm like, I don't like asking
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: for money, but I like putting on the parties. So
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: that's how I started saying, okay, zone in girls, zone
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: in parties, party planning, how do I get into this?
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: So through catering, you know your stuff from the back
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: of the house, then you are able to lead in
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: the front of the house. And that's how I ended
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: up doing event planning. And I never looked back because
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: I am very bossy. I am a multitasker, and I
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: think way bigger than anybody can even presume. Just like you,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: you think big, and then you need the right team
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: to make sure. Like I want to do is make
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: it happen. And then you get the right team and
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: then it just makes you look good. So I just
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: ended up doing this for twenty two years, and at
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: the highest level. If you know, a place called Fisher
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Island is where the one percent live. You can't even
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: drive there, my friend, you got to take a ferry
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: to get on. You're not getting cleared. You get it
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: on by boat. You get it on by helicopter, private helicopter,
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: or by the ferry. And that's how exclusive it is.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: So I've seen Beyonce, Usher, Oprah, you know, Rose O'donald.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Trust me, I've seen it all. I've done it all
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: for all of them, with non disclosure agreements of course.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: But you know, that's where you get your grind. You
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: know you're able to that's where you get your grind.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: You're able to really know and learn from the good,
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: the bad, the ugly through those you know, those different experiences,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: and it brought me to where I am today. So
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: I'm very fearless because of the fact that I've worked.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: I worked with fear for a very long time.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: No, that's amazing because obviously, here you are, You're this
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: beautiful powerhouse. You're running a multimillion dollar business in a
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: billion dollar industry, and you are a black woman dominating
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: that space in one of the richest states in the.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: World, Florida.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: And I don't think people really understand the gravity of
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: what that means.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: So you're as good as your last event. That's what
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: I like to say, yes when I tell you you
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: have to stay humbled in life because the moment that
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: you're like, oh I'm this, I'm this, I'm that, oh,
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: you will get knocked down in three seconds. And obviously
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: we'll talk about it later. But cancer was that moment
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: for me of like, oh, humble, yes, humble, but yeah,
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: you have to stay literally focused, keep your head down,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: do the work, because you're as good as your last
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: event or good as your last performance, whatever you're doing life,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: learn that real quick. Humble yourself always.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah no, and listen so to be able to
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: have all of this going on for yourself, beautiful family,
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: You have this amazing career, this lucrative career.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: Perfect life.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: When you received the call for Miami Housewives, though, okay,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: what happened? Like, how did you get the call? How
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: did you end up on the show, what were your
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: thoughts on it? Did you even know about this show
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: prior to get.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: I am a Bravo a holic for sure. I will
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: always love Bravo. I mean, my god, the best. To me,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: it was the best messy shows ever, it's like, you know,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: it's escapism, right. So, like I come from home from
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: a long event and I'm like, okay, what is this
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: housewife show about? Oh no, she didn't. You know. You
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: react to these situations that you've been put in and
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: so forth, and I think that I seem to look
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: like the perfect housewife, the husband, the house of this.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: I got it all, you know, in the sense of
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: the checklist. But I knew some of the girls beforehand.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: And it's all about connectivity with these shows. If it
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: ain't real, it ain't happening, because it can't be reality
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: TV without the real inn it, right. So for me,
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: it's like Nicole and I are so funny because she's
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: literally my best friend and we were around the same circles.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: I have a photo of her as in a background
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: in an event that I was being honored on because
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: it was a magazine that I was being featured on,
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: and she was at that event and we didn't know
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: each other, but we were always in the same circle.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Same with Alexia. So through all these connections, all of
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: a sudden we meet and then the show calls and
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: it's like, oh my god, this is like all meant
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: to be everything in life is meant to be everything.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: There's no mistakes in this life. And so once you were,
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: once you acknowledge it, when the call came, it was
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: kind of like, Okay, this is it, this is it.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: And you know, I look at Russell of course, because
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: his approval this includes him too, and he knew, he
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: knew that it was like it was inevitable, it's what
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: I want to say, and he felt comfortable. And I
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: like the fact that he didn't threaten my livelihood, which
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: is my business. It wasn't so like here Gerty Jeff
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Lewis style, you know what I mean, because there was
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: a few opportunities prior with that whole concept. But I
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: said to myself, this is perfect because it shows my
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: balanced life in a sense. So this was great. Yeah,
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: I don't regret it. I love it.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: What was the audition process like for you?
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: It was at so much audition. It was all about
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: again that all these girls knew each other and from
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: one and then you know, obviously I think the root
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: came from the pre cast, those who came from season
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: one two and how did they evolve ten years later?
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: So then the involvement included some of us newbies, and
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: that's how we came to be. So it was actually
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: the perfect the perfect timing, the perfect people around everything,
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: the surrounding was proper for everybody, and I think it
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: just worked out. So it was meant to be.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: No, it really was, because I've said this on my
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: podcast and the world is saying this too. Real Housewives
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: in Miami is truly truly one of the best housewives
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: out like you are doing together.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Recognition for you yet, but they've come around soon.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: No, Listen, when I watched the reboot, if you will,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: that first season of the reboot, which is season three.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Technically, we were all like, no, this is it.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: My African I we were living in Miami at the time,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: and we were like yes.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: We were like, no, this is it.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Because one thing about Miami that we're all obsessed with
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: is you get amazing personal stories.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, everybody clocks in to work.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: Everybody, honey, friends of our friends, friends, friends like that. Honey,
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: come on now, we're all tune in. We're all leveled,
• 18:18

• 18:21
  Speaker 4: anybody period. Okay, I right, hard for my friends of
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: and those are that should be you know, there is
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: we're equal partners who I hate.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Just around, but stay tuned for more. Ooh, brain drops.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I have so much fun this weekend. I was hanging
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: out with my friends, luxuriating a boy the pool, playing
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: basketball cause you know I'm athletic.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: But baby, I have so much to do this week.

  Speaker 3: reality with the King and I'm Carlos King. Let's get
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: back into the show. One of the things that I'm
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: so interested in when it comes to the dynamic of Miami,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: do all of you ladies have a conversation like we're
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: gonna bring it because one thing Alexia said on Watch
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: What Happens Live, she does feel like Miami Housewives is
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: like the step children of the franchise. She mentioned that before,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: so I was always curious, like my marriage to medicine girls,
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: they're like, listen, we're going to be ourselves, that we're
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: going to make the best show.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: It's that a conversation, it's that a reaction to something.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: It's just I think literally the melting pot that we are,
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: like we can't help it. Like I'm telling you right now,
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: Miami is in the sauce. I always like to say
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: that we have our seasoning that no one could replicate.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: It's like turn the cameras off for real, for real,
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: we're still going at it or we're still talking like
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: oh my god. But it's this thing. It's a cadence
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: that no one could get and it's just the thing
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: that we have together. So it's like you put a
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: camera on or off, it doesn't matter because we are
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: going to be that one personality as we are. Because
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: that's why I think we were the chosen ones, because
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: we literally just gel in a way that's like not explicable.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: It's just weird and it's just organic and it's real.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: It's not made up, it's not put on. So when
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: people some people are like, oh, Gertie, she's so extra. No, no, no,
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: you don't know what this guy has to go through.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Russell's like dealing with cuckoo crazy in the best way. Like,
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: you know, we live we live out loud. Here, we
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: live out loud. It's too damn hot, honey to get out,
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: like we gotta let it all out, get it all out.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: No, and you let it all out too.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: And I remember last season one of the things that
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: your cast makes we're saying about you, was like you're
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: doing too much Gerty, Remember, so.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: They weren't doing enough, keep going, keep going. Yeah, when
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: people say you do too much, what does that mean?
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: Because you ain't doing enough. That has nothing to do
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: with me. I'll take care of my lane. You take
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: care of your lane. Let's keep talking. Yeah, you're right.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: It was kind of like we're taking a back and
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: mind you, all of them in their own way are
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: very much too much in their own right right. So
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: it's kind of like you dictate what I can bring
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: to the table and how much of it, Like you
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: don't do this, you United scientist, So do not bring
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: my water level down to bring yours up, Like that's
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: not gonna happen.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Well, I concur because last season when I was watching
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: it and you guys were in the sprinter traveling and
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: you and Alexia got into it because she just felt
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: like you were doing the most and when I say, baby,
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: you checked her so good, it was like, I don't go.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: There because you know what, Alexi and I are so
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: good right now. And went to the reunion, honey, the
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: team up is real, okay, And you're not ready because
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: it's when I tell you the reunion, it's going to
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: spin heads, like, wait a minute, what's going on here?
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: You're not ready. You're not ready because there's a lot
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: of secrets revealed about some people, and the truth comes
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: out in the best way, in the truthful way, and
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: finally it comes out in the sense of like, okay,
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: let's lay things on the line of what it is
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: and what it ain't. So that we can move forward
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: or not type of things. So, yeah, you guys got
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: to tune in for the reunion.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: So you and a Lexi are teaming up against the
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: other team.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Teaming up strategically. It's just that I ended up looking
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: over to her like, Okay, now you're on the bus,
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: let's go girls. No, it's good, so trust me back
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: then if we'll go back there. Briefly, what happened was
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: is just kind of like I just felt that I
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: wasn't being or able to be my full self, and
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: because of the fact that everyone felt like, you know, oh,
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: we were here first. It really was kind of like
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: OG's versus newbies that is no longer happening. And I
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: love that because now people are really seeing people for
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: who they are and not because of like I know
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: you longer and this and that. So we're we're scratching
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: the prerequisites. I didn't feel like I was on the
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: same level before. I felt like it was kind of like,
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: get up and it's like, oh, you don't know anything
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: about that, You don't you want friends with her for
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: twenty years. I don't care because we're not twenty years back.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: We're twenty twenty three. Twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: So let's go forward, soldiers, is what I'd like to say.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: So yeah, so I think that now everyone's got the message,
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: and it's.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: It's looking good, it's looking at the future is looking bright.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: Definitely cloud the skies, a little sprinkle of rain.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Rain.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I love a good weather report.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: How do you feel We're crazy? You know this right? No?
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: You know you're my type? How do you feel when
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: people say? This got to Alexia's head? She felt that
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: she was a fan favorite and that she's the queen
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: of the show. And I even think she intimated the
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: same as well.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Well, I can't discredit her for she holds the show
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: down in a way that is stable, especially through the
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: story with Frankie, and because that story is constant, it
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: is a present, it is a pass, it is the future.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: She's with him, he's thank God, of course. And so
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: you know, Alexia has a really good heart. But I
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: think that obviously through pain and heart from what happened
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: with her her life she lived. Her life is a telenovela.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: It's literally not even normal. So she has I think
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: aggression sometimes where she takes it out in different ways.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: We all do. By the way how we show it
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: is different, and that's what it is, you know. So
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: I can't fault her for whatever she is. It's just
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: about like just be respectful to others, you know. And
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: so I think that she may have been in a place,
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: you know, last season, but I think she's you know,
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: she's she's realized it. And you see this season her
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: putting her best best foot forward at the New Horizon
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: episode that happened, you know, the first of the first episode,
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: like she tries to say, hey, I saw my bad.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to do good moving forward, And that's what
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: it is. It's growth, right, trying to do better the
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: people who don't understand how to grow. That's called a clown. Okay.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Do you sometimes feel like you're at a circus act?
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: Sometimes I do, But it ain't a funny one. It isn't.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: So what do you want me to do? So it's
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: kind of like it's a scary, you know how people
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: are scared of clowns. Now, I understand.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Why is it like the IT movies?
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I don't see it?
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: Is it a horror knows? I don't do horrors or
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: come to my house or locking my door with the mask.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Don't do it because we're ready to We're ready to respond.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: Trust be that. Okay, we don't play games in my house.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: We're very secure.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: So by you, by you being this world renown even planners,
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: you obviously have created parties, created spaces for people to
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: hang out, and been to tons of events. Yes, Lisa's
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: obviously is going through this divorce. What has been said
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: on the show is how her and Lenny had these,
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: you know, luxurious parties.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I've been to two of them actually.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And and how there will always be like these
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: scantily clad females around these parties who sometimes.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Didn't fit the bill if you will, Well maybe they.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Were maybe maybe they were chump change that weren't bills.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: So that's the that's the first thing. Rule number one
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: to go to Lisa party is don't bring your men around.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: So this first of all, Russell is not a social
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: person at all. Clearly everybody sees that. But rule number
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: one is going to be a Halloween party and it's
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: gonna be g strings and booty. Okay, no, no, Russell's
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: gonna have enough booty at home not to be going
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: to no party to look at no booty elsewhere? How
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: about that? So we're we don't the husband there, and
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: then when you go there, you don't take you don't
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: stay there for long. You give you your hellos to Lisa,
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: and that's who we're here for. And then we just
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: kind of like, get a couple of drinks, take a
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: couple of selfies with on your outfits or thet you know,
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: what is it called costumes, and then you go about
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: your Mary way. No one lingers at those parties, if
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: you know what it is, unless you want to, and
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: clearly that's not mean. So Lisa's come to a realization
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: with Lenny, and we're glad that we see her now
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: finally you know, clap on, clap off, and she finally
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: gets it. Okay, the lights are on. That's good, But
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: that's good. That's great because now she sees what she,
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: you know, has been going through and what everyone else
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: has been seeing. So she's she's moving forward and it's
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: great to see her moving on and realizing her past.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: And you know, you saw the finale where her auntie
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: and her mom were talking to her about how he
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: treated them, and it's kind of like, what was that about?
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: And you know, so I'm glad that she's realized that
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: and hopefully, you know, she knows how to handle things
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: moving forward.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah future, you know.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Well, we're happy she got that clap instead of the
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: other clap.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, we don't want that clap, no, ma'am. So
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Russell is not allowed to go to those parties.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: It's not a he doesn't even want to go there.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: But when I go there and like, literally know what
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna get, like proposition to have three four six sms.
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: I'm too tired. I got things to do. Leasyusie and
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: I think that we're clearly sat ohaking his head. This
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: is what he loves it. He loves it. And this
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: is why I think that we are very good, not
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: because you know, we keep each other leveled in many ways.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: We're good here, we're good here. No one is craving nothing.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: We're good.
• 29:44

  Speaker 3: Now that although you're a one woman show, I will
• 30:01

• 30:38
  Speaker 4: Saying this is nothing me.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Why am I in geology class when I have a job,
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: thank you as a production assistant.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, I dropped at honey, for you, I'm good.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Who needs Ivy League colleges anywhere at this point, to
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: be honest, my son is not going to one, and
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: I'm not trying to pay sixty thousand dollars for one.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Like the education is very similar whether you go across
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: the street to Miami Day College or there you go
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: to you know who knows where. So yeah, things are
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: changing in this world and I love it.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: No experience First, I have no regress and I paid
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: off my student loan last year.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Thank you sir, Thank you God. But no, you are
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: a one woman show.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: However, the fans and I, we.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Love the duo of you and Kiki. Oh, yes, you
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: and Kiki, and listen, I love.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: Don't you guys want to see more of us together?
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: I'm just about to say that because I listen, I
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: love the relationship between Alexia and Marisol, like you want
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: to see more the baby. Why are we seeing this
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: dynamic more of us?
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: So I mean, all I can say is look forward
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: to the future hopefully, because I think that it's it's
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: now people are seeing this connection. Listen, KICKI and I
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: we're sisters and there's nothing that anyone can say or
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: do to write to to separate us in that. In
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: that sense, we are eyelands. We're from the same struggle.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: We have the resilience that no one could ever take
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: away from us, and so those who try will fail
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: badly because it's not gonna work. We will always see
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: each other first as like what we are, before we
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: try to get into the mess of like he says,
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: she said, whatever, we will always be like a girl,
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: the girl. Yeah, let's go get up. Wait till you see,
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: Wait till you see the reunion. We share the same
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: dressing room. I'm gonna start with that. I'm gonna start
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: with that. We share the same dressing room and the
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: queens are queening, and I'm gonna say something in Creole
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: that my people will know it p that's it, okay,
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: And I'm gonna say that because we're coming. It's it's
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be good. And by the way, my best
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: friend is still Nicole is still in the mixed baby okay,
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: don't get don't get it twisted. Nichole is my BFF
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: and Kiki is my sister.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Period. Would you like to see Kiki as a full
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: time house.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, She's got a story to tell. And it's funny
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: because the two of us are Haitian by birth. She
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: was in Haiti till she was a teenager. I was
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: in Hatity till I was one. So the way that
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: we connect is so different because it's not like, oh yeah,
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: remember this little store next door. No, I don't know Haiti.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: So I get to learn from her, her from me,
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: and it's gonna be a beautiful thing, hopefully in the
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: future for you to see how we connect in a
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: different level of like my stile of the experience versus
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: her side, because Haiti to me is a beautiful place,
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: but it also is a very hurtful place because I
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: lost family there during the earthquake in twenty ten. So
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: we bond in a very deep level. And that's the
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: reason why it's like no one could ever check us
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: for nothing that we are or not, because it's just
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: not even it's not even normal, do.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: You because it's funny because when I watched the show,
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: I do feel like they're trying to pit you two
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: against each other.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: No, and I'm obviously not.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: It's just like I think, editing wise, there's just so
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: much else going on there. It's not like when you're
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: heard like are on the show. We don't have combative
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: in anything, so it's kind of like, wait, there's something
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: going on over there. There's a lot of look over
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: here type of moment. Is that doesn't allow us to
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: kind of like show the bond. But I think that
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: everyone has realized the magic that it is, especially starting
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: like the reunion. It's just this little brewing. It's gonna
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: just brew itself into a beautiful cup of cappuccino, so
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: just wait, wait for it, wait for it. It's happening. Period.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Well that that just made my day because I've been
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: advocating for that on Twitter, like I just love his
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: duo and even when on this season when listen.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: I do love all the girls.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I was very disappointed in Lisa though, when
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: you guys were on a trip and you know, listen,
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Kiki's funny and she's cool. But when Lisa was, you know,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: saying the microaggressions of like wait till the reunion.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: But even you being.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: There, like did you I feel like Kiky instantly knew,
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: like you're trying to say, I'm being a attacking you
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: till the reunion.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: Wait till the reunion because it's like even Andy gets involved. Okay,
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: even Andy gets involved. So you'll see at the reunion
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: how it's just kind of like because again, like Kiky's
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: experience in growing up is very very fragile, right, So
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: she grew she saw pictures about like her house like
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: it was it wasn't even a house, poor thing, you know,
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: it was literally she struggled in a way. I was
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: one of six six children at that time when I
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: had moved to France. We were in a two bedroom apartment.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: I struggled in a completely different way, but I was
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: in a safe space, which is Paris, and you know,
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: like so you get, you get, you know, the help
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: from the government. It's just different from Kiki's. So Kiki
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: saw that dog throwing food thing as like, wait, what
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: are you trying to say, like just because they lived
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: there doesn't mean they're not happy or then I fed right,
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: And I didn't see it that way, because again, we
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: come so our perspectives are different, and that's why some
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: people are like, well, we don't need to Haitians. And
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: one thing I'm gonna say right now and listen very clearly,
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: this is for everyone. Why is it that when there's
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: two beautiful black women on a show or in a
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: room or whatever, and they're the only two amongst other
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: people of different races, why do we need to choose
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: and say, oh, her or her versus her and her.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: This is something in the beginning, the very beginning of
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: the first season three where I started seeing comments like oh,
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: they need to make KICKI this or or Gerdy this,
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: and and you know, KICKI out at Gerty out. Why
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: because now what you're gonna see is the most beautiful
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: thing of sisterhood. And some other shows are not learning
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: that properly yet. But you're stronger together. Obama said it,
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: and I will repeat it, Stronger Together, and and Kiki
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: and gig Baby, it's coming. It's gonna be amazing.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: That's a spin off.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: We needn't know about all that. I would love it.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, from your mouth to God's ears, you never know,
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: but I mean I would love to see.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: I would love to see because.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: You do events and you you do everything in the
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: beauty space. Yes, Kiki obviously is this international supermodel right,
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: and there's something in that mix. I mean, I'm a producer.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying I see it and I will be
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: here for it.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: Listen, I'm a Bravo baby. I want to say, at first,
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: make sure I check on my want. We want to listen, honey,
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: listen to me very closely. I mean, I think that
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: anything is great as long as you show unity. You know,
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: people love the mess message great. How about watching something
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: when you come home from from from work or school
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: and you've already been through the mess at work or
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: school and you come home and say, wow, maybe I
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: should do something different to create this kind of environment.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: What about that? What about aspirational? Inspirational That's what I'm about.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: And listen, if y'all get tired of that, trust me.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: My life is great. It is great as it is now,
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: It'll be great as it is then. But the thing
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: is that I'm all about love until you try to
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: mess with me and then we got problems and you know,
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: you got to push my button a couple of times
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: and then it's like lego, you know, And that's what
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: you saw with me, you know, you know last season
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: it was kind of like, I'm trying to be nice
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: to you girl. You don't want me to gratify your ass?
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Now, no we don't.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: But no, yeah, I appreciate the closeness between you and Kiki,
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: and like you said, the fact that you two are
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: Haitian Americans being able to like coexist and there shouldn't
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: be a choice before before we move on to the
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: rest of the season, Speaking of that, what are your
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: thoughts on this whole Windy Necker thing on Potomac So.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: Sad, so sad, And I'm gonna say it exactly like
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: I saw it. There's nothing else to it. Wendy was
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: minding her business. Sorry, and Mekka, I sawry brother Khan
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: looks amazing, beautiful. But I felt like maybe there was
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: just a lot of people in the ear to be like,
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: get it. That's how you're gonna get your moment, moment moment,
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: And unfortunately she felt for it because it would have
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: it would have been even more more beautiful to say, listen,
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of brewing going on over here. But
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: guess what, I'm gonna give you that benefit of the
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: doubt and let's talk, sister. That was a missed opportunity
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: for me. And now how do you make it right
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: that people are on Wendy like just apologize or forgive her.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: You talk about my mama, We're gonna have problems for
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: a long time, right talking about my husband, my children.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna forgive you whenever people say to forgive you.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: So for me, it's kind of like, let time do
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: the healing and it will heal. Wendy's a very she's
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: a doctor, she's smart, she knows what she's doing. It
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: will happen. It will happen. They're gonna let the guards down.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: But you know what, there's gotta be an apology directly
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: to the mama.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Sorry, no, I agree, I agree, and look I'm on
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Wendy side on this one, okay.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: And not to belabor the point, but what's funny is
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: but not.
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: As an amazing woman like you know. It's It's just it
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: was a bad, bad decision. That's what it is. Good
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: people make bad decision. That's it. That's it.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: And we love, we love. They're both queens. We love
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: that guy exclusive for you. Because I never told anybody
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: nor my brain drops this.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: I am a Raene drop too, but tell me, yes,
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: Ray drop me and I'm Gerty five. Okay, boom, there
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: we go, There we go.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: I developed a show a couple of years ago based
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: on first generation Africans in Los Angeles. Mecca was a
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: part of my cast, and Mecca.
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: And she migrated her way to Patromac and this right.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: So when I saw this, I'm gonna tell me. One
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: of my producers said, God, do you remember Ncca. She
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: was a part of the cast for this show we
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: were developing for v H one about again first generation
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Africans in America, and Mecca was a part of it.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: So the Necca that I saw on the casting tape
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: and the Sizarel. She's funny and she's fabulous, So I
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: was looking forward to seeing her on this and I'm
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: so proud of her.
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: And that's the problem. The thing is that she has
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: a missed opportunity because then it derailed her focus on
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: herself and her character and building herself up as one
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: of the members of this group in Potomac and geared
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: it towards the HETERATIONI nation towards Wendy, and now it's
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: a disconnect. But they're going to get it back together.
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: I know this. They're smart, they're beautiful. They will get
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: it together. Promise. I see it in the future. Hopefully
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: you do. I think so.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: I don't see it happen.
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: That turns through, but I'll say this, yikes, it needs
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: to happen to happen. And that's what Miami does really good.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: Say it to the people of the.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: The reason why Miami Housewise is one of the best
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: Housewives franchises is because you girls fight hard and love
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: heart and you don't belabor the issue carrying into the
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: next season.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Y'all did it at the reunion.
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: Try not to. There's going to be lingering, little you know,
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: and bruises right, and you know, giving it the example
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: with Laursa, people are like, leave her alone, she doesn't
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: want to be your friend. Don't be her friend, and
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: it's kind of like, no, we bonded before, Like you
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: don't understand how human relationships is like that. When you
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: find a connection with someone, you're like, oh, I see
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: you in this way, and then something happens and then
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: you get hurt because you actually care some way, somehow
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: about this person. That's the reason why you react, right,
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: because you're hurt in some way when the person doesn't
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: see it for what it is and that I just
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: need you to boom boom boom for us to move forward.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: That's where then the issues begin. So you know, that's
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: the relationship with me and Larsa. And at the reunion
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: you'll see how we hash it out or not, we'll see,
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: but that's what it is, and that's what these bombs
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: go on and on forever because you try to find
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: the benefit of the doubt and say to yourself, could
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: she have meant it? Did she really do it on purpose?
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: Maybe not? What you try your best and whatever happens
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: after that is whatever happens after that.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, And I'll say this again. I love Larsa.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: I'm a fan of the show. She's great for the show.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: I was extremely disappointed and Larsa for sharing your diagnosis
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: with the girls prior to you having the opportunity to
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: do it herself. So that was one thing for me,
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: and then it just kept multiplying with and that was.
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: The core of it. Is about the fact that I'm like,
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna give you you probably mete it, you're bad, okay,
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: And then it was the again, again, again again again,
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: the perpetrating like perpetuating the whole situation. So anyway, you know,
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: it's tiring, guys, Okay, it's tiring, But this is what
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: life is all about. It's about these ups and downs.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: It's literally wavelengths, and you gotta take them as a come.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: But when you saw that episode, the one.
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: Where she told, oh, like she give with everybody literally,
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: I'm like, were you hurt? So hurt because as you see,
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking people are saying, oh my god, no she
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: met well, oh my gosh. You know that. The reason
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: why we didn't say anything is because what hurt most
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: was the fact that she asked them to keep the
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: secret of her not keepping my secret. How are we
• 44:01

• 45:06
  Speaker 3: he was out of top for a couple of days.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: My love, okay, but disappearing a business trip.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: So they so he was founded after being on the
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: milk cart.
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: No, it was a.
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: Business, it was a business. I wasn't there. I was
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: in inviting, so I don't know the details. But he
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: was on the business trip. He came back and he
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: was like, hooray, can I get something? Yeah? No, but
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: I mean I went you to say for Russell probably
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: if he was gone, because we're never a part like
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: it's true, so good. I'm I love a party. So parties, Yeah,
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: I love it. You like it, I love it. We're
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: not gonna stay on herb for too long. We'll move on.
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: But what are your thoughts on.
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: Larcess relationship with Marcus, because you obviously get to see
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: way more than we as the fans.
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: I don't. I don't not invited to the parties, so
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: I don't know anything. I just know that they're you know,
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: they're they're together now. They were separated in the super
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: Bowl there was a thing, and then they're they're back together.
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: I think, But I don't know. So I just don't know.
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: But I think that if they're together, I'm sure they're happy.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: If they're not, I hope they wish them well. I don't.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: Allegedly they yes, they're back together after having a Super
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: Bowl momenta to.
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: You, I mean you know, I mean.
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: Because instead of watching Usher, we were tweeting another Haitian as.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: Well, not Haitian. He is sure he is not Haitian.
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: He's American. His father, Jason Drulo, is Haitian's father is
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: what is his name, Edmond? I know the last thing, sitation,
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: but I was told I was corrected back in high
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: school that he was not Haitian. Sure his name of
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: his father, he's a fourth. It's Usher, by the fourth, Edmond,
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: your lives when I was okay, So when I was
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: growing up in high school or in junior high, it
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: was like a bad word to be Haitian, and people
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: used to get beat up for being Haitian. The same
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: with Jamaicans went through this. Haitian went through this Miami
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: in the eighties was like oh my god. But anyway,
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: the fact is that so maybe at that time people
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: were like, no, he in Haitian. He so for me,
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: I thought he was in Haitian. But anyway, Haitian. IM
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: proud of it here. Good for you are sure, good
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: for you? Love it? No, we love it, we love it,
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: we love it. So he needs to claim that a
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: little bit more. Let's hear something mixed with you know,
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: booty music that would do I mean, you know see
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: I mean then the super Bowl performance was like thirty
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: nine songs in like two seconds. Yeah. I was like,
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: you know, this is my confession. Every three seconds it
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: was like a new song. I was like, that's a lot.
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: We're doing a lot of Medali this yere. Hey, you
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: guys are multi talented. He bought the whole Atlanta on
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: stage that I really liked. He didn't forget his path.
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: He bought Little Wayne, no, not the way little John,
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: Little John and Lula Chris and then Alicia that first key,
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: not the first key. But she's queen, she is. And
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: we all make mistakes, remember that, so don't judge. There
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: we go.
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: So, was it a mistake that Michael Jordan doesn't want
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: to meet his son's girlfriend, Larsa.
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: Say allegedly because I don't know anything about that.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Well, he's on the video, and he's it's been said
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: on the show.
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: And and she was on a podcast recently and and.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: It was it was she said it. She's never met him,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: but his mother likes her.
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: But she never met him. After her divorce with Pippin
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: good things clear, No, like she met him obviously because
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: they were in the same team, right they wants championships
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: and rings that were amazing the bulls? What is going on,
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: mister King? Okay, technically you're right.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: Last did me Michael Jordan when her then husband Scottie Pippen, Yes,
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: was playing.
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: So you mean while she was with Marcus she was.
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: She hasn't met him as the girlfriend title.
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: She hasn't been reintroduced to Michael Jordan as his son's girlfriend. Okay,
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: but she was introduced to him as his teammate's wife.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: Gotcha, What is the question? What is the question?
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: Because you clarified ification, is that a red flag in
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: a relationship? If you if you wol and Rousse up
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: been and gat for twenty eight years, would it have
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: been a red flag if you never met his father?
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: Listen, If I was with Russell for twenty eight years
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: and I haven't met his parents, then we're good. So
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: my point is is that you see what I'm saying.
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: It's kind of like we're doing good over here, you're
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: doing good over there. So and they're grown, I mean
• 49:47

• 49:50
  Speaker 4: Marsha's a grown ass woman in her fifties early fifties,
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: and so that she doesn't need to meet anybody. She's
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: making a decision for herself in her life. He's making
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: this decision. He's over thirty, he's thirty two, and she's fifty.

• 51:36
  Speaker 3: to show up for your wife like we have seen.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: How nervous are you right now, Russell?
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just not a common thing for me.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: So when Gerdi came home and said, baby, I mean, Gerdy,
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: heyby guess what the Bravo second has.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: Caught me and they wanted me to be of Miami.
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: He was kind of like the call but it was
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: it was, like I said, it was inevitable. I'm not
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: going to tell you how it happened.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: But it was very kind of like it was meant
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: It was meant to be, kind of like it's it's time,
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: it's time.
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: But what did you think, Russell, Because you are a
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: very private guy. You're Scorpio, and one thing I know
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: about scorpio men who decide to be with somebody that
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: is a star. They loved the background and they loved
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: you know, supporting their partner but not being in the limelight.
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: So was it challenging for you to know.
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: That when you appear on a real Housewise franchise your
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: life changes forever.
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: Obviously it was a big decision, but it's you know,
• 52:47
  Speaker 6: we've we've been together for so long that when she
• 52:52
  Speaker 6: was approached, I think she mentioned it before. Years prior,
• 52:57
  Speaker 6: she had been approached for, you know, insitively for different things,
• 53:01
  Speaker 6: and we were like, no to it. I didn't want
• 53:04
  Speaker 6: to do it. I don't want to have anything to
• 53:05
  Speaker 6: do with that. But you know, I can't hold I
• 53:10
  Speaker 6: couldn't hold her back anymore.
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then those other projects were more about like
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: that Jeff Flui is set up of like you're going
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: to be the planner and we want to see everything behind.
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: It was kind of like I have to be responsible
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: for six employees being on camera. It was just too
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: much at stake. The Housewife, you know, platform is just
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: a balance of all of that, you know what I mean.
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: So you get a sprinkle to this, and don't sprinkle
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: to that, and sprinkle this anything. Ensemble cast so it
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: was more I think comfortable for me to start out
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: on national TV being kind of like in this kind
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: of format. And I had watched it before I knew
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: the risk. But I'm like, we don't really have anything
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: to hide, Like, so you don't you when you get
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: on the show, you better not have skeleton in your
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: closet and a lot of people do. And I'm kind
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: of like, why are you signing the paperwork? But you know,
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: we're we're We're up front and it is what it is.
• 53:58
  Speaker 6: I figured, you know, I'm just gonna be a minor role,
• 54:02
  Speaker 6: which I am.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: You know, I just stay in the background.
• 54:04
  Speaker 6: I'll be good with that, right And and that's that
• 54:08
  Speaker 6: was my mentality going in.
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: And then you got the finale, right, which we'll get
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: to a second two. But prior to that, you guys
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: met in high school. So who approached who?
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: Do you want me to say it?
• 54:23
  Speaker 6: Well, okay, we met in high school, but we met
• 54:27
  Speaker 6: we actually met in tenth grade.

• 55:49
  Speaker 6: with you know, played with each other.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: But that was it.
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: What does that mean?
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Played with each other? Get it straight.
• 55:54

  Speaker 2: Now, I see there's there's a there's an opportunity here.
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: So the next day in my mind, I'm like, okay,
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna show her.
• 57:52
  Speaker 6: The next day, walking down the hallway, before she even
• 57:55
  Speaker 6: sees me, I go up to her.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: And I give her a big hug and I say,
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: how you know that I died?
• 58:00
  Speaker 6: And then from that point it literally we're together every days.
• 58:05
  Speaker 6: So good, yes, sir, I was like, there was some
• 58:09
  Speaker 6: you know, we still had to figure things out.
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: Did you ever tell the star basketball player in college?
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: Like, yo, man, you.
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: Wait, the sister week is me and now he's co
• 58:20
  Speaker 4: playing what is it called teammate with my ex boyfriend.
• 58:25
  Speaker 4: His sister, his younger sister is best friends with that guys,
• 58:30
  Speaker 4: the sisters and sister, and he's over here playing with
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: the ex boyfriend.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. My sister's like, what's going on?
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: Right, Susan's telling me this and I'm like, yeah, it's
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: over and I'm with Brussel now boom like that. So
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: it was it was a whole thing.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: So it was very weird. Yeah, she had because his.
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: Sister would come over and you'll be like, how's rough,
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: okaymazy okay, right, but he was so ob obviously.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 58:54
  Speaker 6: So so you know, there there was a moment in
• 58:58
  Speaker 6: time there where it was kind of awkward because I
• 59:00
  Speaker 6: knew I was going to run into him, you know
• 59:03
  Speaker 6: at some point, which I did.
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: And then you know, at that time, he was over.
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: Three other babies, so mama's or whatever he relays in basketball.
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you guys have been together for twenty eight years,
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: so what is the secret to this long lasting relationship
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: because you two still I don't know if the audience
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: saw this, you too still flirt with each other and
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: are so attracted to each other.
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: Twenty eight years later, every day, like when he walked in,
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: I was like, yes.
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no, honey, be so Russell.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: You may not know this.
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: So before you walked in, she's giddy. She's Carlos So
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: Russell's coming.
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: He's so hot.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: I know he's fine. Anyway, what's my baby? What's my baby?
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: Baby? Are you here?
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: And I and I sat back for a second.
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: I'm like, wow, sorry, but I was so amazed by
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: Like you still get butterflies yes, for your husband twenty
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: eight years later?
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: Like what seriously? I think couples at home want to know.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: The cost seminar tourists coming. Forget Sierra's prayer.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: What is the girdy prayer for you to have this
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: man who's super attractive, he loves you so much, and
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: you still get butterflies in your.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: Stomach when you even like misching his name for us?
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 4: I think is no ego When we argue with I
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 4: think the egos come in right like it's like, oh
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: you better, no, we have the dumbest argument over his
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: water bottle placement in the car. No like that was.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: I was like, stop, drop the ego. So he has
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: this water bottle jug so ugly, and he puts it
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: right there next to where he drives. I have my
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: juice that he made for me, my co press juice,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: and also another drink that can't fit anywhere else except
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 4: for those two compartments. And he I throw his drug
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: in the back. No, no, no, he wants his drug
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 4: right there next to him, and I'm like, but you're
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: not drinking it. So we get into this argument. I'm like,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: drop the ego, but it's ego the moment someone's like
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: I'm the man, I'm supposed to do this, and people
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 4: start role playing and thinking that you can't do this
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: or you shouldn't do that because I'm the man or
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: you're the woman. It's not gonna work. Drop the gender
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 4: roles and drop the egos. You will see how much
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 4: smoother life works. If I'm not home and something's gotta
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: get cleaned or cooked, He'll be it's not even like
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 4: can you please it? It's done. Those are his children,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 4: like drop the gender roles, as if like you're too
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 4: good to do this or you're too good to say sorry.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 4: That is I think the biggest issue in relationships. And
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of people who are divorced are
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 4: probably like, damn, I could have worked that out, couldn't I?
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 4: And then you know it's too late so for us.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 4: And another thing is that we don't use the D
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 4: word ever. Is we never say I'm going to divorce
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 4: you if you don't do this. You never threaten people
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 4: like that, especially if you love them, go ahead.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we I mean from the beginning, we kind of
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 6: knew that, hey, we wanted to be together, and you know,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 6: we she wanted to do one thing. We wound up
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 6: staying home together and let's see how this this plays out.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 6: And when we decided, yeah, we're gonna.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: Make this official, get married, start a.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 6: Life together, we already knew. We already knew all these things.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 6: So it's never like we argue with each other and
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 6: we're like, oh, I'm gonna leave you. That's never never
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 6: even comes into the picture.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: It was always like, we're together forever, So now now
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 4: what how do we navigate?
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: So, like she said, egos are a big thing.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 6: Obviously everyone has disagreements, but you have to put your
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 6: ego aside and you have to come to a compromise.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 6: I mean at the beginning of our marriage, you know,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 6: we start living together all the time, Oh you need to.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: Clean this, or you should clean that, or you need.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: To do this, or you need you're not doing enough
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: of this or whatever.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 6: Like at some point someone's got to say, you know what, hey, okay, yeah,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 6: I'll do.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: This and want to do that. And that's actually what
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: is sexier than ever. It's it's kind of like, damn,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: he's a take control type of man. I come home, like,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 4: you don't understand how much I was traveling for work.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: I was in Portugal one minute, then I'm in the
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: cop or the next minute, like I can't keep the
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: do this for the kids, and do you know do
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: that for the kids. And so I'll come home and
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: he's like, that's taking care of I got I got this,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: I got you, I got this. And that became such
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: a thing of like, damn, he's really invested in us,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 4: in me, in himself. It's self proud at the end
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: of the day to know that your family is good
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: like that, you know. So, I think when people reshift
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: their train of thought and how they see themselves. It's
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: a it's amazing with the growth that they can do
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: within themselves as well, because I look at him now
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, it's weird, but it's like it gets better.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: I'm like, damn, Like he's such a growing to this
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 4: man that I never even imagine I needed.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 6: And that that's all the that's all the you know,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 6: secondary stuff. Of course, you got to like this person.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 6: You gotta be friends with this person. You have to
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 6: love this person. I mean, you have to be attracted
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 6: to this person, and then all that other stuff you
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 6: figure out. You have to be willing to figure out.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you go ahead, I'm sorry, Yeah no.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: But the one thing that I do love about you
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: is the fact that, as we talk about general roles,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: obviously there isn't unfortunately a lot of husbands who who
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: are like I don't mind taking care of the kids, cooking, sometimes,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: cleaning some times, pick them up from school. You are
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: a very active father, like extremely active, and your active husband.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: Do you believe that.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: In some marriages, like Gertie is saying, is that is
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: a toxic masculinity, this sort of machoism are some of
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: the reasons why you know, these relationships don't work because
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: did you ever fall into that mindset of like.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, why am I doing this?
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: Or did you were you always like I love her
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: and this is what's best for the family.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: Like I said, you figure things out.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 6: Yes, Like I can't say specifically what was what, but yes,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 6: at some points I did have that mentality like why
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 6: do you want me to do this?
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: You know it's not my job, but as.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 6: You know, I don't want this stupid little thing to
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 6: cause us to fracture in a way that we're not
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 6: going to be together because I want to be with her,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 6: you know, So you have to make that decision. Is
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 6: this stupid little thing, you know, worth it to fight
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 6: with this person all the time.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 4: And we're lucky that we have parents that are still married.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: His fat father and mother I have been married now
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: fifty years. We just celebrated them this week. My parents
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 4: are over fifty, you know, so we have good role models.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: And his father is in the kitchen cooking, his mom
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: will be cleaning, and they you know, vice versa my parents.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: My father does a cooking and the cleaning. My mother
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: is not that type. Very fashionable though, but you know,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: everyone finds their niche in the household. You know, It's
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 4: so funny because look, when I was traveling and doing
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 4: all these events, he was holding it down. Now I'm
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 4: home a lot more because I've chosen to be more
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 4: present from my family and so forth. So now I'm like,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 4: what do you want for dinner? But do you want
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: to It's I'm back to where, you know, the housewife role.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: So it all works out. But once you drop the
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 4: ego and just are a team player, because you know,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 4: you want to sleep good at night, wake up in
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 4: the morning good, you know, like happy wife, happy life,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: for real, for real. You know, we are the matriarch,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: and we are you know, the stability of a household
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: in many ways. And and for us to get that
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 4: right hand, that says I got you. What do you need?
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: The whole thing? It just helps support that system and
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: it creates a better, stronger together.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: So no, and we saw that because obviously, I mean,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: listen for you to showcase of the world your breast
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: cancer diagnosis and to to see the the fear that
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: you had on your face in the earlier part of
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: the season when.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: You got the news.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: Right, yes, talk to me about the moment that you
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: heard the news and the thought process and having to
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: tell your husband.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: He was there with me for the whole part. I
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 4: wouldn't even have a phone call without him. So when
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: my doctor called me, my college just called me. I
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: was in Sant Bart's and that was when he was
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 4: about to tell me that I had the first There
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 4: were two types of cancers that I had, by the way,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: so there was the first one. I'm like, stop, I
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: need to merge Rustle. Nothing happens before you got the news.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: You want to wow. Of course she was absolutely.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 6: She went in for her mammogram and then you know,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 6: which she does regularly, but this time they asked her
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 6: to come back. So I remember during that phase, I
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 6: was bringing her and in my mind, I'm like, this
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 6: is weird.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: You know, we're going back multiple times.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 4: He never thinks.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 6: But then I'm like, you know, everything fine, There's going
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 6: to be nothing, just like it always is.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: So then she was out of town.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 6: And she calls me and I could hear it in
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 6: her voice something was wrong, and she's like, oh uh,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 6: you know here doctors such and such as on the
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 6: line emerging, And so I knew right away what it was.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 4: But we didn't know how about you know, like you
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: just got worse and worse and worse and worse and worse.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 4: But he was there every step of the way. It's
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 4: like he didn't go to work for a month, like
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: literally like every over a month. It was just unbelievable.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So, I mean many people go.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 4: And he hates to take the credit, he says, which
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 4: is true. Like you say, everyone goes through it and
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 4: all over the world.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: You know that's true. So you just you got to
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: keep moving forward.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 4: Like he doesn't like this title of like he's the
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: best husband in the world because everybody's doing it. If
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 4: my mother I'm not even going to say the words,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 4: but like my father would step in his We see
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 4: this every day. So he hates the fact that it's
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 4: kind of like this.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: But I disagree with that, and I'm going to say
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: this and this is no disrespect. We unfortunately don't see
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: it every day, and we unfortunately, you know, don't see
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: a lot of husbands, yes, drop what they're doing and
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: to be there for their wife. So listen, I I
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: love that you feel like I'm a husband and this
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 3: is what I'm supposed to do. Unfortunately, there are tons
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: of wives who have husbands that don't do the necessary parts.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: And the reason why we appreciate you and all the
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: husbands in the world who have who have done what
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: you're doing is because we even don't even see this
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: a lot on reality television. On my show Love and
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: Matter tians Bill Kimmy.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: Oh Kimmy, Yes, honestly, she was first. I gotta tell you,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 4: I got to the pops. I have to because I
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 4: remember I think I may have called you in the room.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 4: I watched it and I was like, who could I
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 4: ever do that? Like, and then look what happened to me?
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 4: And I was like, she can do it. I can
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 4: do it. And I'm telling you right now it was
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 4: because I kiddy, I'm getting oh my god, I even
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 4: reached out to you or her and even her I
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 4: can't remember how it was like wow, PTSD like right
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 4: now because I hate going back there, right, but I
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 4: remember seeing the scene. You were the first one to
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 4: do it, and then I was like could I ever even? Wow?
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 4: How did she do?
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 5: How could she?
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden it was my turn,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, we're doing this damn thing. We're gonna
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 4: freaking do it, and production. Thank you to people like
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 4: you that stayed in the back. You gave the respect
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 4: you weren't in It was kind of like, just let
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 4: it play and act as if you were not in
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: the room. And that was the courage that I got
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 4: to be able to just continue with that scene. I
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 4: was breaking. I was like I wanted to move, and
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: then I look back, I'm looking at the hair and
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, just stick it out. Stick it out.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: This feels safe. All we need is a safe, safe space.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 4: All we need is to save space and people some
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 4: people don't understand that. So when we talk about sharing
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 4: it with the world, and because you don't see it enough,
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 4: it is happening. But the problem is that some people
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 4: make it seem like it's the play that we have
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 4: and shame people that have cancer and you look weird.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 4: Why did you shake your head? Oh why don't you
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: put a wig on? Because I have hot flashes every
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: twenty seconds. That's why I have a sorry, that's why
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 4: I have a fan on me. But people don't see
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 4: the little things. Oh why don't you cover your scar? No, honey,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 4: this is a battle scar. That's my pride. People ask
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 4: this dumb questions without thinking like this maybe a reason
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 4: let me let her give her a safe space. And
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 4: that's really big, and that's the reason why you don't
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 4: see it often.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: No, it is big, and and thank you for sharing
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: that too, because it just it takes you to a
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: place that you, just like you said, you don't think
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: is going to happen to you. And not only do
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: you not think it's going to happen to you, not
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: while I'm filming a reality shop.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 4: We found out a week before. So the first episode
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 4: you see new Horizontals party and people are coming up
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 4: to me with some bs about you did this to
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 4: me and you call me fake. It's kind of like, girl,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go get a drink over there because I
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 4: can't deal with this minute detail when I'm dealing with
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 4: a monster here, you know. But when you're not ready
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 4: to share, no one could tell you what to do,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 4: when to do it, where to do it. It's just
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 4: a thing that's just kind of like it feels good
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: now now it doesn't. So you know when people say
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 4: stage the dropping the news to cancel, do Larensa? Of
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 4: course I didn't. Of course, it's just emotional reaction of
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 4: like this is what I'm going through. You know, so
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 4: you'll see, you know, the reunion. We talk about all
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 4: those those kinks, you know, and how you know, we
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 4: try to we try to figure things out, you know,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 4: but it's it's it's a lot, it's a lot. The
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 4: reunion is gonna be a lot for people to watch.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: And yeah, yeah, well, speaking of things being hard to watch, obviously, Russell,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: we saw the finale. It was hard for you to
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: watch your wife have a petty argument and again, we
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: love Larsa. We'll see what happened to bring I was
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: so shocked at the level of insensitivity that she displayed
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 3: during that conversation, knowing that you are going through this
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: battle the camera campaigning to Russell watching you, protecting you
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: from a distance, and then finally saying enough is enough.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: So Russell talk to us about being in that moment
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 3: and what you were seeing that led you to be like,
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: this ship has to stop.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 6: I didn't know what they were talking about, so I
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 6: was I was a distance away talking to someone else,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 6: having a conversation, and then I heard things piping up,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 6: getting louder, getting louder. So that's when I, you know,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 6: started focusing in see what was going on, and you know,
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 6: the women, they get into arguments often.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 6: When I saw her, you know, take her hat off,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 6: and then I heard a couple of things that I.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: Thought were, you know, over the top.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 6: So I went over there with the My only intention
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 6: of going over there was to get Gerty away.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 4: Once we've come off, he's like, well, what's going on
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 4: over I.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: Didn't say anything to anyone else. I was talking to Gerty.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 6: I said, what are you doing, Let's get get out
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 6: of here, and she got up, We're going away, And
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 6: then a certain individual kept pursuing. That's the only reason
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 6: why I said what I said to that individual, and
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't have said anything else to her, but she
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 6: kept talking to Gerty and she even was talking to me.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: So I tried to, you know, keep my composure and
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: just get Gerty out of there. And that was it.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: That's all that happened.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're not those people. We don't like mess. We
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 4: don't like mess, you know. But you know, obviously remove
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 4: yourself in the situation if you have to. What the
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 4: first That's all that was my especially considering I was
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 4: having literally the next.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 6: Day, like this is not important, this energy is not good.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah for you, right, now.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 4: But you know, it's so funny because as much as
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 4: people say that to me, and it's true, you're right
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 4: because you want to try to keep yourself in a
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 4: zen place because you know, stress does not cause cancer
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 4: rule number one, but it can it can contribute to
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 4: your environment of health around a healing with cancer. So
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: for me, what I've learned now is that I will
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 4: release what no longer serves me, period and a story
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 4: I don't like something. Hey, I don't like that. Period.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 4: My housekeeper just recently let her go why took a
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 4: bag of cookies? It wasn't about the cookie. It was
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 4: about the fact that, honey, you signed an NDA. You
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: know I have seventeen cameras in my house. You know
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 4: damn well that we saw what you did last summer. Okay,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 4: and we asked you, I'm asking you do to your face, Well,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 4: nobody is this cookie because I know it's not cookie.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 4: Only nobody else eats it. And she says, oh, I
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 4: don't know. It was just there. And I say, you sure,
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: because if you will like the cookie, I'll get more
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 4: cookies for us. And it's okay, No, it wasn't me,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: rewind yep, she and here's the chewing, so liars don't
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 4: release what no longer serves me ain't happening. And that's
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 4: my new way of life. So get ready for Season
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: what seven because yeah, I'm not I'm not. I give grace,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 4: but I'm not giving all of my grace any longer.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 4: Cut it, cut it, cut the cancer out, symbolically, cut
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 4: it out.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: Are you too able to forgive Larsa for her behavior?
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: You'll see at the reunion how things evolve. He's not
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 4: even he's not even part of it. Like you know,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 4: he said what he said, which was literally, don't be disrespectful.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 4: Be respectful. That's it. There's no there's no you know,
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: discussion between her and my husband. Okay, so it's between
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: her and I women to women, and at the reunion
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 4: we definitely have it out. So you will see that
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 4: discussion and how it plays out.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: Do you think people and again I again I'm on
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 3: Twitter sometimes I'm not basically you protecting your your wife?
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: Are are are there people or even Larsa? Are they
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: trying to say like, oh my god, you spoke to
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 3: a woman this way.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 4: And the first thing that I ever saw, we multiple
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 4: things I've seen, is like you know, I'm usually people say,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 4: I usually don't like men in you know, business, And
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 4: the way that Russell handled it was not. He wasn't
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 4: like back and forth trying to elevate. He literally removed me,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 4: and he says, just be respectful, like just consider the
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 4: situation timing like queuing captain, and that was it. Everyone's
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 4: praising him for the way he handled it is what
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 4: I've seen.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: I didn't feel good, you know, doing that. I didn't
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: feel good afterwards doing that. Yeah, oh you didn't because
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: I don't. I shouldn't have to. You shouldn't talk to anyone,
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: you know, a woman that way. You know.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 6: I don't know how I was put in that situation
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 6: like that person should have seen it.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: I was already taking.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 4: Gerty away, yeah, and it was over usually that That's.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: How I felt. It was like why yeah, So that's
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: why I kept it as it was.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 6: I wasn't gonna do anything or you know, say anything derogatory.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 6: That's not no, no, I just wanted to get Girty away,
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 6: yeah yeah.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: And I even even even with that, you know, that's
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: all I did.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 4: I still, you know, because he's not that guy. He's
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 4: literally you know, this is not where this is not
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 4: not who we are. So I just I was glad
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 4: that he was just what he was and that's it.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 4: And but people have praised the way he tried to
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 4: obviously just you know, protect me. So yeah, protect that's it,
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 4: you know, and yeah, that's it.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no iron people who felt that like and again
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 3: I worked on shelves where sometimes the men insert themselves unprovoked.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: And I felt like you were defending your wife.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 3: And I was happy, even docorn Cole saying, that's my
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: best friend, Gerdi. These five minutes leave her alone.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 4: So I do appreciate that around me.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 3: And look, the most beautiful moment of this whole season
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 3: was the shaving of the head and seeing Russell how
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 3: you were there for her even in that sense, and
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 3: that's listen. I know you don't like compliments, and I
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 3: respect it, but again, yeah, it's it goes to show
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 3: you the the love that you have for your best
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: friend who also is your wife and the mother of
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: your children. And to see the moment of you cutting
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: the braids and then shaving it off, were you were
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 3: you nervous like going into into that moment knowing that
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: this was going to be captured because it's.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: Such listen all the respect.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 3: You didn't have to show that to us because it's
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: such an intimate moment.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 6: I know, was I nervous. I wasn't nervous. I just wanted,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 6: you know, throughout everything. I just wanted to make things
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 6: for her easier, you know, and make her, you know,
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 6: as comfortable as possible throughout everything.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: So if she, you know, she won.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 6: She made the decision, you know, with with my advice
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 6: and with others advice, that she should cut her hair
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 6: before starting the chemo, because.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 4: That was actually I really wanted to do that. That
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 4: was very wary for me to have control.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, she didn't want to have to see her hair
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 6: falling out a way and go through that process.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: Just let's just shave it and then you don't have
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: to deal with that.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 4: Eighty percent of people shave their head before chemo actually,
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 4: so for those reasons, right, of course, it's about control,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 4: like and me being a control freak. I'm a party
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 4: planner and I'm the top party planner of the world,
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 4: and I'm sitting here like, damn, I'm being told when
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 4: to go to this, when to do this blood work.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 4: All I just go in and out of consciousness is
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 4: what I like to call it in doctor's deportments and
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 4: lay down and do this and you know, take this pill.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, I can't. I'm in a box. They
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 4: put me in a box. And this whole I thought
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 4: for myself to be out of the box when I
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 4: came to this country, and now I'm being put back
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 4: into a box. I'm like, no, I'm gonna me, pick me,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: pick me, pick me. I'm gonna cut my hair. I'll
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 4: do that one. So it was about controlling something in
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 4: this whole narrative. Look at you now, look at me now,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 4: cancer free, cancer free. I just did my sixth month.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 4: I did my six month memmo grandma to sound and
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 4: that was also a lump in my throat. So every
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 4: sixth month. But people again don't understand, is that it's
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 4: not like, oh, life is amazing. Life is amazing, and
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 4: you won't leave it out loud. But every sixth month
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 4: is a test of time that says knock knock, okay,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 4: nobody's there. Cancer is not there. So it's every six
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 4: month that I have to hold my breath. You know,
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 4: I'm on hormone therapy. I get shots every month, I
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 4: take pills every day having a hysterectomy in a couple
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 4: of days, in two days, you know, so it's not
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 4: never over. I have my scars to prove everything that
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 4: I do. It's like, oh, yeah, I have cancer. Yeah
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 4: I forgot about that.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 4: It's always a reminder. So it's never over. But I
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 4: don't victimize myself in that way at all, because I
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 4: feel like it's like I'm standing here and I'm rocking
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 4: this ball head and people are asking me, am I
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 4: keeping it or not? At the reunion, I answered that question.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, that'd be one of my questions.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 4: So the reunion, I answered that question, and yeah, it's
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 4: it's a girty two point zero and it's amazing. It's
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 4: really amazing. I never thought it would be who I
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 4: am today, what I am today, and it's just an evolution.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 4: It's no.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 3: I have to say this about you at the end
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: of the day, as a huge fan of yours, when
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 3: I watched your first season and you were this spit
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: fire firecracker who just like who owned the room and
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 3: has so much confidence, it makes me so damn happy
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 3: to see your confidence. Did o waiver you came into
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 3: this room being girty?
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 4: Oh no, no, one puts in the corner.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 3: Hoey because answer and again this is basically you know,
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 3: you know my mom had breast cancer, she passed away
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 3: because she decided to do her situation differently, and then
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 3: seeing Kimmy have cancer, so I know that it can
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 3: make you tire and exhausted and all those things. But
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 3: I have to say to you, miss Thing, you did
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 3: not skip a beat. You are so damn beautiful. You
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 3: are rocking the shaved head. I listen me personally, keep
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 3: it that way. You look so good. And you did
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 3: not allow this to taint your personality. And one thing
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 3: I know for sure being this health not that I am.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 3: Your happiness is also a healing factor.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 4: In all of this release, but no longer in every
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 4: way one hundred percent is true. Yeah, and surround yourself.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 4: You know your vibe. This is a tribe. Tribe is
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 4: your vibe? Baby, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And I'm doing your
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 4: day by day. I'm trying to be selfish. I mean
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 4: that's the rule. First thing that Martina who had cancer twice,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 4: Julia's wife on the show, she said, you gotta be
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 4: selfish when you want to be alone, just say so,
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 4: I want to be alone, like don't don't just stop
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 4: wasting time being graceful and do just cut it, you know.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 4: So that's why that's and I am that person. It's
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 4: just that I with my job, I'm a nurturer. So
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 4: it's a balance of like bitch, gurty nice curty bitch.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 4: So you're gonna so I snap sometimes and then I'll
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 4: be like graceful and then you know, So it's interesting.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 4: So you never know what you're gonna get. Well, what
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 4: are we going to get next from the two of you?
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 3: Is any anything that you guys have going on businesses
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 3: anything else?
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, so you are featuring. This is definitely my new
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 4: amazing project. And this is like a life change because
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 4: with cancer and it's some mutation. So my type of
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 4: cancer is not genetic, it's a mutation. So I'm like,
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 4: I'm looking at my sisters. They're all healthy, they're all natural.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 4: And I was like perming my hair and doing all
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 4: this stuff, and then look what happened to me. So
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 4: I'm looking at the preventive ways in which I want
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 4: to live my life moving forward. And so I said,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 4: it's gotta be from the inside out. So the first
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 4: thing I said myself is what am I doing to
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 4: my hair, So you know, I started evaluating that. And
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 4: also then I said, what am I drinking? What is
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 4: it that I can do? That's something that is a
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 4: huge impact. And we're made up of water pretty much.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 4: And I started looking into the water, and if I
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 4: tell you the findings I found. So I started digging,
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 4: digging deeper, and we partnered up with a company and
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 4: we have a sharehold with a company called Miami Alkaline Water.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 4: And this is the water. Not only do we have
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 4: alkaline water, we got CBD water, and we have hydrogen
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 4: alkaline water, which is the top of the world level
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 4: of water. So we are not playing games and it
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 4: is a game changer. The first thing that happened to
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 4: me when I had chemo was that we're like, you
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 4: need to drink alkaline water. I started researching that and
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 4: then when I found hydrogen acaline water, I was like,
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 4: we're taking it to the next level. So literally your
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 4: house system, the water system in your house, fully making
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 4: that what I like to call kosher, which we are also,
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 4: by the way, the water's culturecause you got to put
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 4: the minimals back in the in the at the anti occidents,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 4: so we are literally in the purest water environment ever,
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 4: and that starts with inside and to me, people ask
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 4: how I'm lowing, people asking why I'm so healthy and
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 4: bubbling because it's in the water. No, do your research.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 4: Do your research.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 3: So not to cut you off, I'm vegan. I've been
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 3: vegan for seven years.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 4: So no, listen, I would be shipping a list. Shoot
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 4: me a box please, types of water, honey.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 3: No, so I've been vegan for seven years. Yes, because
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 3: I take my health very seriously. And again, I could
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: do a whole episode about that because the whole like
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 3: meat and water is definitely a big component fill to
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 3: the water. But people don't know about alkaline water, natural
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 3: spring water and alto the importance of hydrogen hydrogen. And
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 3: so I started Russell for I think the past four
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 3: months yep, only drinking hydrogen water. And I have a
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 3: hydrogen water bottle that infuses is hydrogen inside of my
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: alkaline water because I only drink alkaline water.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: I'm drinking that for seven years.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 4: And so it's in the skin, honey, look well, thank you,
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 4: thank you, thank you amazing skin.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: So I'm telling you, and one thing about me, I don't.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 3: Like to perpetuate my my health right on others because
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 3: you know, but so the only thing I will say
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 3: to you.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 4: For sure you are correct. Everything we eat, everything we
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 4: cook with. There's water everywhere. And what do one in
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 4: three people have cancer? One in three? If I show
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 4: you this website and you put your zip code in
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 4: and you'll see how many arsenic contaminants. I mean, our
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 4: neighborhood alone has seventy seven. And I was like, thank you, no,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 4: thank you. Why do we have cancer? I think I
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 4: think it could potentially have possibly allegedly be in the
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 4: water too. And I'm going to be drinking the purest
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 4: water out there, and God please hopefully that's the answer
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 4: to many of thing that will you know, be on
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 4: a healthier path.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm so damn proud of you too. No, seriously, no, seriously,
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 3: And I do mean this again. I lost a mother
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 3: do the breast cancer. And if I can just tell people,
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 3: especially in our community, in the black community, one, I.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 4: Mean extra you know, deaths in the black community than
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 4: it is in the white community. Lack of education, lack
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 4: of information, lack of resources, It's on and on and
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 4: on and on and on. So we need to literally
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 4: be preventive health insurance. Please, before you buy anything else
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 4: that you don't need, get the health insurance please, and
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 4: make sure it comes with the breast cancer mammograms ultrasound
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 4: because your kids need you.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: We need you, Yes, you need you, and y'all need this.
