- 1:38Speaker 5: so his are here, Gordon's here, so we're all good.
- 1:44Speaker 6: I think you should get on a little Housewives and
- 1:46Speaker 6: take Britney's place.
- 1:47Speaker 4: Ah, Claudia, Wait, well, first of all, I don't want
- 1:50Speaker 4: to take a nice spot, right, well, if it is
- 1:53Speaker 4: a vacancy that opens up, because.
- 1:56Speaker 3: I think I think you have more story to tell,
- 1:59Speaker 3: I do.
- 2:00Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 2:00Speaker 4: I appreciate that, Queen. So I mean I honestly feel like,
- 2:04Speaker 4: you know, I stormed out of that reunion because I'm done.
- 2:08Speaker 4: I was like, oh, but not enough is enough? Right, Like,
- 2:11Speaker 4: let me get back to life. I came here because
- 2:15Speaker 4: I've always been a entrepreneur, always wanted to develop my businesses.
- 2:20Speaker 5: I only agreed to do reality.
- 2:22Speaker 4: TV because I wanted the platform to use as a
- 2:24Speaker 4: marketing engine, right, And then I was like, you know,
- 2:28Speaker 4: this is kind of like interesting, so let me go
- 2:31Speaker 4: for it.
- 2:33Speaker 5: But then when I got to a point where I.
- 2:34Speaker 4: Realized that it's not really all about our businesses. Mess
- 2:41Speaker 4: how much mess can want your al tape. So I
- 2:44Speaker 4: don't want to come down here and to be a
- 2:45Speaker 4: whole bunch of mess. So y'all, they can come down
- 2:47Speaker 4: here and they can come into my businesses that I
- 2:50Speaker 4: am developing. I'm developing a new franchise comes up. So
- 2:54Speaker 4: if they want to come in here and spin around
- 2:56Speaker 4: and do what they need to do inside and let
- 2:59Speaker 4: me go home, I'm good with that.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Well let's let let's kick things off because we're gonna
- 3:04Speaker 1: have a real conversation. You know, I love you, and
- 3:09Speaker 1: I told people that listen, my opinion sometimes gets me
- 3:15Speaker 1: in trouble with the girls who I love. And I did.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Let the raid drops know that Mia Thoren sent me
- 3:22Speaker 1: a very nasty dim and I responded by saying, here's
- 3:27Speaker 1: my number. Called me, and Mia called me. We spoke
- 3:31Speaker 1: for one hour. Mia let me have it. I received it.
- 3:36Speaker 1: I gave her advice as well. So again, you could
- 3:39Speaker 1: disagree with somebody, but Mia, I'll give you all her pros.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Mia picked up the phone and called me, and not
- 3:46Speaker 1: only did she cuss me out on behalf of her,
- 3:49Speaker 1: she cussed me out on behalf of the entire cast.
- 3:51Speaker 1: So I want you to know that, Oh my god, that
- 3:55Speaker 1: right me up. True story.
- 3:58Speaker 4: I think a lot of times like you just got
- 4:00Speaker 4: to say what you got to say to get your
- 4:01Speaker 4: point across, and I go straight to the source. I
- 4:04Speaker 4: didn't want to be aniche. I didn't want you to
- 4:06Speaker 4: hear a third party. I was like, let me just
- 4:08Speaker 4: call him right now. Let you know how I feel.
- 4:13Speaker 4: Now you can do what you want to do with it.
- 4:15Speaker 5: Or not, but at least you know.
- 4:18Speaker 3: What was it about what Carlos said that made you
- 4:21Speaker 3: the matters?
- 4:22Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, Claudia, So it was, okay, do you
- 4:24Speaker 4: remember the colorism that was going on on Potomac that
- 4:29Speaker 4: allegedly it was just terrible. It's a terrible narrative. It's
- 4:33Speaker 4: not true. I hated it. I hate why it was happening.
- 4:37Speaker 4: And so I was like, and then I feel like,
- 4:42Speaker 4: if you're watching the show, I could see what people
- 4:44Speaker 4: came to that conclusion. But we have to realize that
- 4:49Speaker 4: we all know reality TV. It's an edited version of
- 4:53Speaker 4: our reality, right, So if there's bits and pieces that
- 4:57Speaker 4: are missing that are really to the bottom line, then yeah, okay,
- 5:03Speaker 4: we're gonna come to a conclusion that maybe this was
- 5:05Speaker 4: really going on.
- 5:07Speaker 5: You film all this content that you put it together,
- 5:10Speaker 5: and you tell the story the best can.
- 5:12Speaker 4: But sometimes there's some really things that get left out,
- 5:15Speaker 4: and there's a lot of times there's some things that
- 5:16Speaker 4: never get filmed that needed to get filmed to really
- 5:19Speaker 4: tell the real story. So Carlos was perpetuating and I
- 5:25Speaker 4: was like, wait, as we know in our communities, if
- 5:30Speaker 4: we continue to carry that narrative.
- 5:35Speaker 5: They run away from it, they don't want to deal
- 5:37Speaker 5: with it, they don't want to touch on it. We
- 5:39Speaker 5: don't cancel that platform. We're gonna do that.
- 5:41Speaker 4: And I said, we can't say we support black women,
- 5:44Speaker 4: but we're also going to perpetuate that we're all that
- 5:46Speaker 4: we're not supporting other black women. So and that's pretty
- 5:49Speaker 4: much the gist of the conversation.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Yeah, no, and she yeah, and she articulated herself, but
- 5:55Speaker 1: she made a point. She said, listen, you have a
- 5:56Speaker 1: huge platform. She said, to see you tear up. I
- 6:00Speaker 1: teared up. But I needed you to know that we
- 6:03Speaker 1: all feel that that's not the case. But we understand
- 6:07Speaker 1: why you would feel that way too. But I'm calling
- 6:10Speaker 1: you on behalf of a girl saying that ain't what
- 6:11Speaker 1: it is. And that's why I love Mia, And and
- 6:13Speaker 1: ever since then, I've always said to my audience, Mia
- 6:17Speaker 1: is a real one because it's what she said earlier.
- 6:20Speaker 1: She saw something and instead of instead of going online,
- 6:27Speaker 1: she she called me directly and said, let's have a
- 6:29Speaker 1: real conversation. And that's why I will always respect you
- 6:32Speaker 1: and love you for those reasons. And and even when
- 6:36Speaker 1: we saw this past season, you had your feet to
- 6:42Speaker 1: the fire when it came to the paternity of your son.
- 6:46Speaker 1: And what I said to the audience was, look, that's
- 6:49Speaker 1: her reality, regardless if it's right or wrong or indifferent.
- 6:54Speaker 1: That's that's that's that's listen, no shade. That is for
- 6:56Speaker 1: us to judge because reviewers, I said, but you leaving
- 7:02Speaker 1: the reunion and you're here to answer that, right, I said,
- 7:09Speaker 1: I felt like you had enough because your motherhood was
- 7:12Speaker 1: being in question. And I said, I don't. I'm not
- 7:15Speaker 1: a parent, but I can only imagine that a mother
- 7:20Speaker 1: having her motherhood be questioned, there's only so much she
- 7:24Speaker 1: can take. Is that the reason why you decided not
- 7:28Speaker 1: to just leave the stage, But you left the building
- 7:32Speaker 1: hopping the black car and went back to your hotel room.
- 7:35Speaker 4: I was out of there and I wasn't going back,
- 7:39Speaker 4: you know, And yes, you know, there's one thing that
- 7:42Speaker 4: I always say that I know I got I know
- 7:45Speaker 4: I'm as phenomenal mother. I have these beautiful children who
- 7:49Speaker 4: are thriving.
- 7:51Speaker 5: And that's the element that I never.
- 7:54Speaker 4: Want to ever in any any room that I walk
- 7:57Speaker 4: in or any friend circle, that every be a question.
- 8:01Speaker 4: So and I made that very clear to these ladies.
- 8:04Speaker 4: I said the topic that I'm not willing to allow
- 8:07Speaker 4: you guys to scrutinize or to attack, and they saw
- 8:13Speaker 4: it as an end right because they're like, Okay, so
- 8:16Speaker 4: that's a part of her that.
- 8:17Speaker 5: She's not willing to die deep into.
- 8:22Speaker 7: I'm not.
- 8:22Speaker 5: I'm not willing to do that. You know, going through a.
- 8:25Speaker 4: Divorce is already harder going through a divorce on Now
- 8:29Speaker 4: television forget about it, right. But then also too, Gordon
- 8:35Speaker 4: sat there and told the entire world that he has
- 8:37Speaker 4: mental health problems. So can you imagine like that, like
- 8:42Speaker 4: I'm going, I'm like, my real life is in like
- 8:44Speaker 4: every day we wake up like what's going on? And
- 8:48Speaker 4: I didn't feel like I have the support and so
- 8:51Speaker 4: I was like, you know what, it's no this no
- 8:54Speaker 4: longer serves me. And I'm grateful that I'm in a
- 8:57Speaker 4: position that I can walk away and get back to business.
- 9:02Speaker 6: Looking back, you know, hindsight is twenty twenty, and I
- 9:04Speaker 6: get in the moment because I remember the next fifteen.
- 9:06Speaker 3: I don't want to come to the United stay at home.
- 9:08Speaker 6: I was like three hours late because I had had
- 9:09Speaker 6: enough of certain things that were triggers for me, Like listen,
- 9:12Speaker 6: don't talk about sexual ASSAULI all abuse because I've been
- 9:14Speaker 6: through some shit and I already told the world this,
- 9:16Speaker 6: so don't keep digging out that one thing. So you know,
- 9:20Speaker 6: at the end, I am glad I went because I
- 9:22Speaker 6: got to like stand and speak for myself. Right, do
- 9:24Speaker 6: you regret like now that you know time has passed
- 9:27Speaker 6: and things have cooled down for you as far as
- 9:30Speaker 6: emotion wise, I'm assuming, Right, do you regret leaving? You
- 9:33Speaker 6: wish you would have stayed and got some like said
- 9:35Speaker 6: some things, or are you so happy that you left
- 9:39Speaker 6: the reunion?
- 9:40Speaker 4: Basically, you know, I was already in an expired space, right.
- 9:44Speaker 5: I knew that I.
- 9:48Speaker 4: Was like filming the season and everything that went down
- 9:51Speaker 4: in the kitchen and everything and how the narrative of
- 9:54Speaker 4: what was being followed in the story that you know,
- 9:59Speaker 4: everybody you wanted to see that wasn't the story that
- 10:03Speaker 4: I wanted The world to see. I wanted the world
- 10:05Speaker 4: to see my reality, and it wasn't real. It was
- 10:09Speaker 4: a moment where Gordon decides to flip the script on
- 10:13Speaker 4: everybody and then we have to follow the flip of
- 10:17Speaker 4: the script right, And I said, no, just be normal,
- 10:21Speaker 4: be real. And I think a lot of times people
- 10:23Speaker 4: also don't understand is that would I have ever allowed
- 10:28Speaker 4: for Gordon or Ink to be in the same room
- 10:34Speaker 4: on cameras if they weren't getting along. They have been
- 10:37Speaker 4: getting along form us a year, So I'm like, oh
- 10:40Speaker 4: my gosh, okay, I will agree with you guys to
- 10:43Speaker 4: allow my soon TBIs husband and the love of my
- 10:47Speaker 4: life to be in the same room because they get
- 10:50Speaker 4: along and we have traveled together, we've celebrated holidays together.
- 10:54Speaker 4: There hasn't been any animosity. I think that's a beautiful
- 10:57Speaker 4: thing for the world to see.
- 10:59Speaker 7: We didn't get to see that, and when we didn't
- 11:00Speaker 7: get to see none of that. So if you're saying,
- 11:02Speaker 7: if you're saying your intention for what you brought to
- 11:05Speaker 7: the show last season was completely different than what we
- 11:08Speaker 7: saw on camera as viewers, I can understand your decision
- 11:11Speaker 7: because what you're describing to us right now is the
- 11:14Speaker 7: polar opposite of what we experience watching your story play
- 11:18Speaker 7: out on camera.
- 11:19Speaker 2: That's the total opposite.
- 11:21Speaker 4: Yeah, and so for me as a mother and has
- 11:24Speaker 4: a wife, I've been a wife for twelve years. Could
- 11:28Speaker 4: you imagine being scrutinized for something that you've done so
- 11:30Speaker 4: well in you know what I mean? For a platform
- 11:34Speaker 4: to say, no, that's not interesting, but this is let's
- 11:39Speaker 4: play on this man's mental health since he wants to
- 11:41Speaker 4: flip the script and he want to be mad. Okay,
- 11:43Speaker 4: so that's it. And I'm like, but that's that's not
- 11:46Speaker 4: my reality. That's not how I live my life. That's
- 11:49Speaker 4: not how I parent my children. So while you guys
- 11:51Speaker 4: think it's amazing to have ratings, what.
- 11:55Speaker 5: About my real life?
- 11:57Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 11:58Speaker 4: So I'm here to do reality TV and I think
- 12:01Speaker 4: it's more interesting to see Gordon ink kikiing because the
- 12:05Speaker 4: two of them.
- 12:06Speaker 5: Together it is actually really funny.
- 12:09Speaker 1: So the thing is this, The thing is this if
- 12:12Speaker 1: you're if you're saying because if you're saying that, you
- 12:15Speaker 1: felt like Gordon flipped the script, right, So that's not
- 12:18Speaker 1: at the fault of the production, right, because we can
- 12:21Speaker 1: only follow what we're being shown and listen Gordon admitting
- 12:26Speaker 1: because one thing I did say was you never brought
- 12:30Speaker 1: up the praternity. Gordon did, and and and and that
- 12:33Speaker 1: was the case. So I do think in their defense though,
- 12:37Speaker 1: Gordon and listen, I don't know Gordon, and I hope
- 12:39Speaker 1: all this well. I mean, clearly he is there with you,
- 12:43Speaker 1: so it seems that you guys are in a great place.
- 12:47Speaker 1: But it was Gordon, out of his own mouth, who
- 12:50Speaker 1: questioned the praternity. Who whoo? Who said? And not last season,
- 12:55Speaker 1: but this season before that when he talked about this
- 12:58Speaker 1: ain't the state Fair or carnival if you want to
- 13:01Speaker 1: be fair or something along those lines. So do you
- 13:05Speaker 1: feel like Gordon, you know, is the reason why the
- 13:10Speaker 1: world decided to judge you as a mother and your
- 13:14Speaker 1: castmates because he is the one who brought it up.
- 13:17Speaker 4: So I'm not gonna put all the blame on him,
- 13:20Speaker 4: right because I think it's not There's like a lot
- 13:23Speaker 4: of different elements.
- 13:24Speaker 5: I think when he.
- 13:26Speaker 4: Decided to do the TMZ interview, I have to take
- 13:29Speaker 4: the blame as well. Because when they called and said, hey,
- 13:31Speaker 4: we want to pop these cameras back up, can we
- 13:34Speaker 4: come into your house? My first answer was no, But
- 13:38Speaker 4: then I have this commitment of but he really did
- 13:42Speaker 4: do the interview Mia, this is what's really going on
- 13:45Speaker 4: with him right now. So and then also too, I
- 13:49Speaker 4: know that it would if it contributes to the bottom line, right,
- 13:54Speaker 4: So I go, Okay, you guys can come back. So
- 13:57Speaker 4: I have to take fault in that as well, like
- 13:59Speaker 4: I'll take full accountability. I was, you know, we allowed
- 14:03Speaker 4: the cameras to come back to me, to our home
- 14:05Speaker 4: after we were finished wrapping. In hindsight, I wish that
- 14:08Speaker 4: was a poor decision on my part because I feel
- 14:11Speaker 4: like now I'm better equipped on how to handle him
- 14:15Speaker 4: as he's aging and going through this health crisis, you know,
- 14:19Speaker 4: like I have better I'm better equipped now, so I
- 14:23Speaker 4: would have said no, like, there's no way I would
- 14:26Speaker 4: ever allow that to happen. I'm very protective over him
- 14:29Speaker 4: right now because I understand that he and he has
- 14:33Speaker 4: also in therapy vocalized that the cameras are triggering for him.
- 14:36Speaker 4: Gordon cannot do reality television, right, so why may be
- 14:40Speaker 4: good for me, It may be good for the kids.
- 14:42Speaker 4: The kids love the cameras, they love it. It may
- 14:45Speaker 4: be good for Ink, It may be good for you know,
- 14:48Speaker 4: my businesses.
- 14:49Speaker 5: It's not good for their father.
- 14:53Speaker 4: So I like, as a family, we have to decide, Okay, well,
- 14:56Speaker 4: how do we navigate around that? So I'm not gonna
- 14:58Speaker 4: say it's his fault. We all know we're dealing.
- 15:01Speaker 2: With So that was my next question.
- 15:03Speaker 7: Then, if you are open to the reality of their experience,
- 15:07Speaker 7: excuse me of being on reality TV again in the
- 15:10Speaker 7: capacity of being a full time cast member on any show,
- 15:14Speaker 7: fuck just the Housewives.
- 15:15Speaker 2: Like, whatever show you.
- 15:15Speaker 7: Decide to do, would you include Gordon as a part
- 15:18Speaker 7: of your package that you present to the show or
- 15:21Speaker 7: would you not decide to bring him along for the
- 15:24Speaker 7: ride this time?
- 15:26Speaker 4: So, well, he's a little bit of blues cannon, y'all.
- 15:29Speaker 4: So I don't know if.
- 15:33Speaker 5: I don't want to say yes or no, because.
- 15:37Speaker 4: I wouldn't want I don't want to feel like I'm
- 15:39Speaker 4: controlling him, right, So if he says he wants to
- 15:42Speaker 4: do something, he can do it, would it be what
- 15:44Speaker 4: my preference?
- 15:45Speaker 5: Absolutely not.
- 15:46Speaker 4: I have moved on with my life. I have so
- 15:48Speaker 4: many great things going on my life aside of Gordon.
- 15:51Speaker 4: I had this amazing man. We're building out our businesses,
- 15:54Speaker 4: we're living in the sky. We see all of at like,
- 15:57Speaker 4: we have so much going on that I feel like
- 16:01Speaker 4: living in that expired space of moving on. You know,
- 16:04Speaker 4: I'm getting into you know, once I get my doors
- 16:06Speaker 4: is final. There's no reason to go back, you know.
- 16:11Speaker 4: And that's another thing. You guys never got a chance
- 16:12Speaker 4: to meet my oldest son's father. Production obviously wanted to
- 16:17Speaker 4: meet him because we have such a He's my best friend,
- 16:20Speaker 4: so we talk all the time. We have cope successfully
- 16:23Speaker 4: co parented our seventeen year old son. My son is amazing,
- 16:27Speaker 4: and production every season was like, so when are we
- 16:29Speaker 4: going to see your excessant? Were were we going to
- 16:31Speaker 4: see your ex husband? And I'm just like, you know,
- 16:33Speaker 4: he's an expired part of me. Why do y'all want
- 16:35Speaker 4: to go backwards? There's so much more to me.
- 16:38Speaker 6: But the viewers like, I get it, you have to
- 16:40Speaker 6: do it's best for you. But the night, the line
- 16:43Speaker 6: of the night from you tonight is my husband and
- 16:45Speaker 6: the love of my life.
- 16:47Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, tell.
- 16:50Speaker 6: Me more life in the same room together.
- 16:55Speaker 3: That is interesting to me.
- 16:58Speaker 5: Exactly.
- 16:59Speaker 4: So it was it's funny like I was just having
- 17:01Speaker 4: a conversation with Ink last night and we're actually, you know,
- 17:04Speaker 4: we're working on a lot of different projects. You know,
- 17:06Speaker 4: he's in radio and he has his own show here
- 17:09Speaker 4: in Atlanta. So he was like, you know what, he
- 17:12Speaker 4: was like, I think it might be time for us
- 17:14Speaker 4: to do like a.
- 17:15Speaker 5: Sit down with your ex husband.
- 17:18Speaker 7: Oh okay, thank you.
- 17:21Speaker 4: Your ex husband's meaning so my oldest son's father, because
- 17:24Speaker 4: we're all sitting in here kicking in and chatting it
- 17:27Speaker 4: up with the kids burned around the world needs to
- 17:31Speaker 4: see that at some capacity on for it to be inspirational,
- 17:35Speaker 4: aspirational for our fathers out there who may not be
- 17:39Speaker 4: getting along with the others.
- 17:42Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
- 17:43Speaker 5: I think it's a beautiful thing.
- 17:44Speaker 7: I do think it's beautiful in theory, and I think
- 17:46Speaker 7: it's congratulations to you all for having that sort of
- 17:49Speaker 7: peace and harmony in your home. But I don't think
- 17:52Speaker 7: that's your responsibility, a burden you have to shoulder. I
- 17:55Speaker 7: think that you have a great personality media. I think
- 17:57Speaker 7: you're funny as hell. I love seen you engage you
- 18:01Speaker 7: you work very well amongst an ensemble cast of very well,
- 18:06Speaker 7: very pretty, and we want to see that. We would
- 18:09Speaker 7: love to see you on your boss and media ship,
- 18:11Speaker 7: running your new businesses, your new business venture taking over Atlanta.
- 18:15Speaker 2: We like that. You don't have to teach. No, you
- 18:18Speaker 2: don't have to. You don't have to. We can just
- 18:20Speaker 2: close that chapter, you know what I mean.
- 18:23Speaker 7: We don't need to see We don't need to see
- 18:26Speaker 7: him and Gordon sit down. And although your blended family
- 18:30Speaker 7: is a great formula for you and it's working, let's
- 18:33Speaker 7: just leave it there.
- 18:34Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. We just get in your personality.
- 18:40Speaker 3: I'm intrigued.
- 18:41Speaker 6: So I admittedly I'm I haven't watched as much as
- 18:44Speaker 6: I should. But the business piece I've seen and what
- 18:46Speaker 6: you've said, like, I'm intrigued by that part selfishly though
- 18:49Speaker 6: as a viewer, selfishly, but that also has no what
- 18:52Speaker 6: it feels like.
- 18:52Speaker 3: I get it. But that's me.
- 18:55Speaker 6: That's kind of play a player Himalaya type ship though.
- 18:57Speaker 6: I'm just saying, I mean me.
- 18:59Speaker 4: And he'll be lying, okay, baby, staying on business, okay,
- 19:07Speaker 4: And that's the part of staying on business. I have
- 19:09Speaker 4: to make sure everybody, the household is together, everybody up
- 19:15Speaker 4: in here.
- 19:16Speaker 5: Okay.
- 19:17Speaker 1: So Mia, you left Potomac, you left it behind. Do
- 19:22Speaker 1: you still keep in touch with some of your former castmates, Like,
- 19:26Speaker 1: have you recently spoken to Jiselle ASHLEYO.
- 19:28Speaker 5: Wendy, Now, Curly, you know to answer to the first one.

- 20:14Speaker 4: I think she's a great addition. I hate that I'm
- 20:17Speaker 4: not there to help her out. I think, from the
- 20:19Speaker 4: looks of it, she might need a little help this season.
- 20:22Speaker 4: But I think she's gonna be okay. She's gonna be okay.
- 20:26Speaker 4: Wendy has text me, yes, because you know we got

- 20:36Speaker 4: So she's just like her text was, you know, definitely
- 20:40Speaker 4: spirit led. And I appreciate that because she knows the
- 20:43Speaker 4: season that I'm in right now. And yeah, the rest
- 20:47Speaker 4: of them, they keep entering putting me in the group.
- 20:50Speaker 5: Chat that I don't want to be a part of.
- 20:53Speaker 5: Please take me out of the group chat?
- 20:55Speaker 1: Wait are you still in the potopic group chat? No?
- 20:59Speaker 5: Anything?
- 21:00Speaker 4: Meaning part of all of their interviews and they have
- 21:04Speaker 4: not some nice things to say. And I'm like, if
- 21:07Speaker 4: you can't call me and tell me how you feel,
- 21:10Speaker 4: stop talking about me. Okay, Like y'all should have other
- 21:13Speaker 4: things going on, but I forgot, you know. That's how
- 21:16Speaker 4: it's been on me. I got going on, you know.
- 21:19Speaker 4: So I wish them the best of luck. I really do.
- 21:22Speaker 4: I really want them anything that I participated in. I
- 21:25Speaker 4: wanted to thrive. Like I was there for four years.
- 21:28Speaker 4: I came in, I spun around some rooms.
- 21:32Speaker 5: That season is done.
- 21:33Speaker 4: For, Like I sold my businesses, y'all. So it's like,
- 21:36Speaker 4: why am I There's no need for.
- 21:37Speaker 5: Me to be in the dc DMV area any longer I'm.
- 21:41Speaker 4: In atl you know, submitting these lois getting it on
- 21:47Speaker 4: a problem, That's what I'm telling.
- 21:52Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad.
- 21:53Speaker 7: I don't I think that your exit it sounds like
- 21:55Speaker 7: it came at a perfect time for you in your
- 21:57Speaker 7: personal life. It's always refreshing to make a new pivot.
- 22:00Speaker 7: And I'm not one of those people who believes that
- 22:03Speaker 7: being a part of the Real Housewives of any city
- 22:06Speaker 7: is like the b L and end off for your career.
- 22:08Speaker 2: If you have other aspirations.
- 22:09Speaker 7: You've talked about wanting to do work in radio, I
- 22:11Speaker 7: think they're talking and being a voice in the media space,
- 22:14Speaker 7: so you'll do.
- 22:15Speaker 2: Well with that. So I want to see you to
- 22:16Speaker 2: give successful.

- 22:51Speaker 4: it's important to say that. I know y'all'm talking a
- 22:53Speaker 4: lot of smack, but and continue to do your job
- 22:58Speaker 4: and continue to do it well. And I think that
- 23:00Speaker 4: we live in a world that you can't be transparent
- 23:02Speaker 4: and say how you really feel them?
- 23:03Speaker 5: What are we doing? So I respected facts?
- 23:07Speaker 1: Well, thank you Mia, And look, I will say this.
- 23:10Speaker 1: We have seen you troll around Atlanta. We saw you
- 23:13Speaker 1: hang out with Shaniya, with Kelly as well. Yes, on
- 23:20Speaker 1: some real stuff. Honestly, honestly, honestly, you are in Atlanta.
- 23:25Speaker 1: There are people who say you're more fitting for Love
- 23:28Speaker 1: and Hip Hop Atlanta. But if you did have to choose,
- 23:33Speaker 1: would you rather be on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta
- 23:35Speaker 1: with Ink or would you like to even if it's
- 23:39Speaker 1: a friend roll? Would you accept a friend roll on
- 23:44Speaker 1: the Real Housewives of Atlanta or a full time role
- 23:48Speaker 1: or Love and Hip Hop Atlanta.
- 23:52Speaker 4: So I'm gonna say this, Okay, nothing against my Love
- 23:57Speaker 4: and Hip Hop girlies.
- 23:59Speaker 5: I love what they do.
- 24:00Speaker 4: One child, I wouldn't survive a day, okay, I just
- 24:06Speaker 4: I'd be like, I know, I want to do it,
- 24:09Speaker 4: I want to do it. I don't know how to fight, y'all.
- 24:11Speaker 4: I'm big, and I think y'all think I never know
- 24:13Speaker 4: how to fight. I don't know how to fight, like
- 24:14Speaker 4: for real, Okay, so I want to you know, I'm
- 24:18Speaker 4: definitely I don't know where they got that from. I
- 24:20Speaker 4: think they obviously put me in love and hip hop
- 24:23Speaker 4: because incas in radio and he does the hip hop station.
- 24:26Speaker 5: I don't know where that came from.
- 24:28Speaker 4: You know. I'm just like, I'm just being whatever all support.
- 24:34Speaker 4: So when it comes to housewives, absolutely, you know that's
- 24:38Speaker 4: a platform that I agreed to.
- 24:41Speaker 5: A lot of people don't know that. I was approached
- 24:43Speaker 5: to do.
- 24:43Speaker 4: Reality TV a lot before agreeing to do Housewise a Potomac,
- 24:47Speaker 4: I had said no four times to other networks because
- 24:51Speaker 4: I just didn't it wasn't aligned with what I.
- 24:57Speaker 5: Meant to do.
- 24:58Speaker 4: And when the house wh What's came around, I was like,
- 25:01Speaker 4: all right, well we're gonna want to.
- 25:03Speaker 5: Let's go take it on home, right.
- 25:05Speaker 4: So if I were to have the opportunity to come
- 25:08Speaker 4: over and hang out with these girls in Atlanta, I
- 25:13Speaker 4: love them to death, y'all.
- 25:14Speaker 5: I really really do. Like they're my kind of crew.
- 25:17Speaker 5: They know how to have a good time.
- 25:18Speaker 4: They look good, you know, and it's the energy. They
- 25:23Speaker 4: have good energy, you know, and I'm an energy girl.
- 25:29Speaker 4: And to answer your question, Carlos, I would accept a
- 25:33Speaker 4: friend role because quite frankly, that might be better for
- 25:36Speaker 4: like where I am in my life.
- 25:38Speaker 5: You know what I mean. You know, I can host
- 25:40Speaker 5: a party or.
- 25:41Speaker 4: Two of my new talks, you know, and get these
- 25:45Speaker 4: girls bodies all together and pop in.
- 25:48Speaker 5: Get my Auntie. Well I can't. I'm not gonna say auntie.
- 25:51Speaker 4: But there's a few aunties on Atlanta.
- 25:55Speaker 3: Which one's the aunties? You're in media?
- 26:02Speaker 6: Now you one of us come on.
- 26:05Speaker 4: Coy ones who like to spin around and they add.
- 26:11Speaker 5: Positivity, say put they two cents.
- 26:14Speaker 4: And I have a feeling I'm probably not gonna be
- 26:17Speaker 4: able to be world peace for long because that's just
- 26:19Speaker 4: not who I am.
- 26:19Speaker 5: But I would agree to do it.
- 26:22Speaker 1: I would good to know, good to know I can
- 26:24Speaker 1: see you as a friend of and Cynthia Belly has
- 26:28Speaker 1: shown that being a friend is a great thing. So Mia, listen,
- 26:32Speaker 1: you are a brave woman. I love you. You stepped
- 26:34Speaker 1: on Monday Night Live with the Dustin Ross and be
- 26:37Speaker 1: Claudia Jordan. So I'm so happy you said yes to
- 26:41Speaker 1: this as well. Now, before I let you go, you
- 26:44Speaker 1: do have a lot of ventures. We did see something
- 26:47Speaker 1: you promoted over the weekend. You were laying down, ink
- 26:52Speaker 1: was standing up. The high proportion was fantastic. A lot
- 26:56Speaker 1: of people wonder if that was on purpose. But nevertheless,
- 27:00Speaker 1: can you please let us know the many things you
- 27:02Speaker 1: have going on because we want to support you, Mia Thornton,
- 27:06Speaker 1: thank you. Yes.
- 27:08Speaker 4: So, I actually am developing a new concept. It's a
- 27:13Speaker 4: franchise called The Talks. So we're doing lethatic drainage. I'm
- 27:17Speaker 4: gonna get everybody de talked in atl And so I'm
- 27:24Speaker 4: doing a you know, I'm going to do two studios here.
- 27:28Speaker 5: For now and then I'm going to build them out.
- 27:30Speaker 4: And then also too, So the post that you're talking
- 27:33Speaker 4: about is the house of mea more so, it's at
- 27:35Speaker 4: my influencer space that I am finally agreeing to move forward.
- 27:42Speaker 4: And it's been something that has been an offer for
- 27:44Speaker 4: such a long time. But it's not anything that I
- 27:46Speaker 4: didn't have the capacity to do. So now I have
- 27:48Speaker 4: the capacity to do it. And then if we have
- 27:51Speaker 4: a couple of projects going on together, I think that
- 27:55Speaker 4: coming off of our hop like we went into it
- 27:58Speaker 4: where I wanted you guys to get the love story,
- 28:00Speaker 4: and since Bravo had other agenda plans, We're still gonna
- 28:05Speaker 4: give you all that good old love story. So when
- 28:08Speaker 4: I'll invite y'all to the wedding, when we have a baby,

- 29:55Speaker 7: be professionals and talk to everybody that comes on here.
- 29:57Speaker 7: She was very pleasant, She had a great conversation her.
- 30:00Speaker 7: I enjoyed her. How much left her.
- 30:03Speaker 3: My husband and the love of my life.
- 30:06Speaker 6: I was like, oh, I don't Claudia.
- 30:13Speaker 1: You're like, where did I go wrong?

- 30:19Speaker 7: ghost to Tasha? Please, I just lost the love of
- 30:22Speaker 7: my life for crime.

- 31:00Speaker 1: to me, listen, I'm gonna say this and not take
- 31:02Speaker 1: it back. I think Mother Alive is the best live
- 31:06Speaker 1: show on YouTube because you never know what you're gonna get.
- 31:10Speaker 1: It's unexpected. I tell you, guys all the time. Doesn't
- 31:14Speaker 1: Claude and I do not talk before the show. I
- 31:16Speaker 1: hit start the live stream and we say hi to

- 31:37Speaker 1: you miss a lot. Now we have to get into
- 31:41Speaker 1: the most recent episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta
- 31:45Speaker 1: to all the rain drops. Who I love that dragged
- 31:48Speaker 1: me last week up until Friday five o'clock pm Eastern
- 31:53Speaker 1: Standard time, child y'all. They oh, I got dragged so
- 31:59Speaker 1: much much last week that I was trending on TikTok,
- 32:06Speaker 1: and a few close friends of mine text me. It said, Carlos,
- 32:11Speaker 1: your facial reactions is the funniest thing. So listen. It
- 32:17Speaker 1: is what it is. My rain drops know that our relationship,
- 32:20Speaker 1: Claudia Dustin is what Mia said, and what Dustin said,
- 32:24Speaker 1: my rain drops know they can keep it real with me.
- 32:28Speaker 1: And I'm never gonna take it personally. But yeah, I
- 32:30Speaker 1: got dragged. But hey, it's a new dawn. It's a
- 32:34Speaker 1: new day.
- 32:36Speaker 2: That's right. Okay, that's right.
- 32:40Speaker 1: I tell you who is feeling good that damn Synthia
- 32:43Speaker 1: Belly and hear me out. Dustin clocked it last week
- 32:48Speaker 1: and I would love to get you and Claudia's thoughts
- 32:50Speaker 1: on this. The first maybe seven minutes of this episode
- 32:56Speaker 1: of The Royal Housewives of Atlanta, I had an epiphany,
- 33:01Speaker 1: not only as a producer but also as a viewer.
- 33:05Speaker 1: And I'm going to say this, and this may be
- 33:07Speaker 1: a very controversial statement, but I mean what I say,
- 33:12Speaker 1: and I say what I mean. Cynthia Bailey's performance in
- 33:17Speaker 1: the first seven minutes plus throughout the episode, but let's
- 33:22Speaker 1: start with the first seven minutes. She has proven that
- 33:27Speaker 1: being a friend to the show should be something that
- 33:31Speaker 1: all ogs should consider. And I mean that. When I
- 33:37Speaker 1: say that, I mean this. I think if you are
- 33:40Speaker 1: an OG, I am not interested in your personal life
- 33:46Speaker 1: anymore that warrants you to be a full time cast member.
- 33:50Speaker 1: Cynthia has proven that she has like this then mother
- 33:55Speaker 1: role that is so satisfying to watch. And at the
- 33:59Speaker 1: end of the day, reality TV has changed, and I'm
- 34:02Speaker 1: not gonna spend tonight talking about that. Reality television has
- 34:05Speaker 1: changed and the ogs of Housewives or Reality TV, they're
- 34:11Speaker 1: they're no longer going to give us their reality like
- 34:14Speaker 1: they used to because the world has changed. And Cynthia
- 34:18Speaker 1: has even said it that she's never gonna give us
- 34:21Speaker 1: what she gave us with Peter Thomas. It's never gonna happen, right,
- 34:25Speaker 1: every former Housewife if you want to go back on Housewives,
- 34:30Speaker 1: Carlos King advice is this accept the friend row. Cynthia
- 34:35Speaker 1: is doing it perfectly. And I want to say this statement,
- 34:38Speaker 1: I cannot see this season or the rest of the
- 34:41Speaker 1: rest of Atlanta Housewives franchise without Cynthia be I agree.
- 34:46Speaker 7: Let me tell you why. I'm sorry. Claudia, go ahead, friend, I.
- 34:49Speaker 3: Won't be long. I won't be long.
- 34:52Speaker 6: I wanted her to check britt more last week, but
- 34:57Speaker 6: seeing it all together, the role that she's taken, I'm wrong.
- 35:02Speaker 6: I tip my hat to her. I like the way
- 35:05Speaker 6: that she is handling these girls. She's not putting too
- 35:08Speaker 6: much on it for the people that she likes more
- 35:10Speaker 6: than the others. You actually can't even tell who she
- 35:12Speaker 6: likes more than the other because she's actually being extremely fair,
- 35:16Speaker 6: extremely neutral. Even though I'm the same thing that we
- 35:19Speaker 6: all know, I'm shore in her mind, she's like now
- 35:21Speaker 6: and you know you act in a fool But she's
- 35:23Speaker 6: letting them breathe, she's letting them be grown women, putting
- 35:27Speaker 6: the two ladies in the room together so they can
- 35:29Speaker 6: work it out. And Chef's kiss to synth and Bailey
- 35:32Speaker 6: this week for doing that. And she's so needed because
- 35:36Speaker 6: there is a little bit more ratchet this year, okay,
- 35:39Speaker 6: let's call it a thing, a thing, okay, And she
- 35:42Speaker 6: balances it out. She's bringing common sense, she's bringing maturity,
- 35:46Speaker 6: she's bringing I don't know, brains, and we can't just
- 35:52Speaker 6: be on ten all the time. We've discussed this before.
- 35:54Speaker 6: It makes it boring with if it's one note. And
- 35:57Speaker 6: I really love the way she handled the girls as
- 35:59Speaker 6: we got the that was amazing.
- 36:01Speaker 2: I agree.
- 36:02Speaker 7: I think that Cynthia has redefined the role of a
- 36:05Speaker 7: friend on the show. And I'm gonna tell you the difference.
- 36:07Speaker 7: The difference is Cynthia did not She did not what's
- 36:14Speaker 7: the word that I'm looking She didn't settle for a
- 36:16Speaker 7: role as a friend that was her intended role on
- 36:19Speaker 7: the show.
- 36:20Speaker 2: She could have had a larger role on this season
- 36:22Speaker 2: of the show.
- 36:23Speaker 7: She wanted to be a friend of the show because
- 36:25Speaker 7: that was the capacity she wanted to exist in amongst
- 36:28Speaker 7: the cast. And that's how she's performing. She's performing on
- 36:31Speaker 7: the show as if she's secure, happy to be there,
- 36:35Speaker 7: fully confident in her role, and she's not doing what
- 36:38Speaker 7: friends of the show often do, which is try to
- 36:40Speaker 7: set off to all the fireworks to get promoted the
- 36:43Speaker 7: next season into a full time role.
- 36:45Speaker 2: That's why it's refreshing to see her like this. She's
- 36:47Speaker 2: coming on the show.
- 36:48Speaker 7: Not angling to be messy, not angling to be memorable
- 36:52Speaker 7: in moments of conflict.
- 36:53Speaker 2: She's literally being a friend. She has a seasoned element
- 36:58Speaker 2: to her participation this year that makes us feel safe
- 37:01Speaker 2: and comfortable watching this show full of new personalities and
- 37:04Speaker 2: new stories and it just works. I wish that people
- 37:08Speaker 2: would kind of take ownership in their their their portion
- 37:11Speaker 2: of the show and just be there in it, because
- 37:14Speaker 2: that's what Cynthia is doing and as you can see,
- 37:16Speaker 2: is making for an incredible watch. So kudos Cynthia.
- 37:22Speaker 6: The petty part of me would be, you know, but
- 37:25Speaker 6: you should be checking, you know, you should be holding
- 37:27Speaker 6: brit a little bit more accountable and Porsch a little
- 37:29Speaker 6: bit more accountable.
- 37:30Speaker 3: But that's not her role right now. Maybe later on
- 37:32Speaker 3: that change. It's not her role. Her role.
- 37:34Speaker 6: There's enough of that that's going to be going on
- 37:35Speaker 6: amongst the girls. I think where she is it's best
- 37:38Speaker 6: for her mental health and for her sanity.
- 37:41Speaker 3: You know, that's a.
- 37:42Speaker 6: Lot of work to like, that's a lot of that's
- 37:43Speaker 6: a lot of responsibility to take on your back to. Okay,
- 37:46Speaker 6: well I got to right the wrong between Kenya and britt.
- 37:49Speaker 6: Not really your job. I mean, yes, I'm sure ken
- 37:51Speaker 6: you would like to see more of that from her friend,
- 37:53Speaker 6: but it's really not a job. And then to fix
- 37:55Speaker 6: this stuff over here with Porscha and whoever else, it's
- 37:58Speaker 6: not really a job. Like but I do like saying
- 38:00Speaker 6: the other girls up to then they can have the conversations.
- 38:04Speaker 1: What do you think, Carlos, Oh, I agree with you
- 38:07Speaker 1: one hundred percent. This season is a very special season
- 38:12Speaker 1: because it's the first Real Housewives franchise to do a
- 38:19Speaker 1: soft reboot, right, bringing in four new faces and bring
- 38:23Speaker 1: it back at the time too. I like to call
- 38:27Speaker 1: them not oh Jesus, another world. I like to calle veterans,
- 38:33Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you because I'm old school,
- 38:36Speaker 1: so oh G's means season one. So I called Kenya
- 38:39Speaker 1: and Porsche of veterans right this season. And I'm telling you, guys,
- 38:47Speaker 1: I sat on the couch last night watched the episode live,
- 38:51Speaker 1: and I really am at this place in my career
- 38:54Speaker 1: where I just want to try something different because I
- 38:57Speaker 1: feel like everything is such the same oldbs. So when
- 39:00Speaker 1: I was watching one A Housewives episode and inspired me
- 39:03Speaker 1: because it showed me that when you have a cast
- 39:07Speaker 1: that is disjointed to your point, Claudia, where the norm
- 39:12Speaker 1: is what I called Daubaguardston and Sutton, and I was
- 39:16Speaker 1: right the alliance, Well, you're my friend, so be on
- 39:19Speaker 1: my side right, wrong or it's different. Every single reality
- 39:24Speaker 1: show needs a Cynthia Bailey. You need somebody who's like,
- 39:29Speaker 1: I'm not here to pick no side. I'm on the
- 39:31Speaker 1: side of making sure we can all co exist. And
- 39:35Speaker 1: I have never seen that in my history of watching
- 39:37Speaker 1: reality television. And shout out to the production team on
- 39:41Speaker 1: Atlanta for choosing Cynthia Bailey to be that. It really
- 39:47Speaker 1: dawned on me as I was looking at the future
- 39:49Speaker 1: of all reality television. But I'll settle on Atlanta. But
- 39:53Speaker 1: we're talking about that. There are conversations about Shanini come back,
- 39:57Speaker 1: should Charae come back, shad Keim, Zulzia come back. I'll
- 40:02Speaker 1: say this being somebody who work with them season one,
- 40:05Speaker 1: I would love to see all those girls back, but
- 40:07Speaker 1: I would love to see them back in this den
- 40:10Speaker 1: mother fairy godmother way. I would love to see Niini
- 40:14Speaker 1: come back and sort of be a then mother to
- 40:17Speaker 1: these girls. The only way these girls in this episode,
- 40:21Speaker 1: Claudie and Dustin would have gotten together in the same
- 40:25Speaker 1: room you needed Cynthia. If Cynthia was not there, not
- 40:30Speaker 1: one of those girls will be able to say, Okay,
- 40:34Speaker 1: let's meet up. And that's why the role of a
- 40:37Speaker 1: Cynthia Belly often underestimated.
- 40:41Speaker 7: However, should be duplicated because when they won't talk to
- 40:45Speaker 7: each other, they'll talk to her.
- 40:46Speaker 2: Yeah, so she's able to be that bridge.
- 40:48Speaker 7: And it makes for a much more easy show for
- 40:52Speaker 7: us to watch and interpret it.
- 40:53Speaker 2: So love it.
- 40:54Speaker 6: And because she's not carrying a pizza season right, she's
- 40:59Speaker 6: not seen the younger girls as a threat or competition like,
- 41:02Speaker 6: so it's like, oh, she's they may think in their
- 41:05Speaker 6: minds and this is she's just a front of the show,
- 41:07Speaker 6: but no, she's actually helping your storyline.
- 41:10Speaker 3: I got to say something.
- 41:11Speaker 6: I know a lot of people think I hate Britt
- 41:12Speaker 6: and I know I come for her because I don't
- 41:14Speaker 6: like how she's carrying her I don't like her character
- 41:16Speaker 6: on the show, but I will say she did do
- 41:18Speaker 6: something in this episode, which was not my favorite episode
- 41:20Speaker 6: of season. This is my least favorite episode of season.
- 41:22Speaker 6: I'm going to just let you know right now. It
- 41:24Speaker 6: was not my favorite season. I mean my favorite episode.
- 41:26Speaker 6: I thought it got a little too stank in a
- 41:28Speaker 6: lot of parts, even though Cynthia was doing her best
- 41:31Speaker 6: to hold together. But there was still a lot of
- 41:32Speaker 6: mean girl energy in this episode that I thought was
- 41:35Speaker 6: just over the top too much from people that I
- 41:38Speaker 6: did not expect it from but I will give britt this.
- 41:41Speaker 6: I did like and maybe she's you know, I did
- 41:43Speaker 6: like this. She did have a scene that didn't have
- 41:46Speaker 6: anything to do with Angela or Kenya, and it was
- 41:50Speaker 6: quite refreshing. When she was talking with her family, she
- 41:53Speaker 6: showed some emotion. It made her be more human. It
- 41:56Speaker 6: made us get to know her instead of just beefing
- 41:58Speaker 6: with everybody.
- 41:59Speaker 3: And that I know, I come. I'm hard at her.
- 42:02Speaker 6: Listen y'all to know meboy Now I'm aries, I'm fifty
- 42:04Speaker 6: two years old, I'm from the New Northeast. We just
- 42:07Speaker 6: say what the fuck we think. There is no filter.
- 42:09Speaker 6: It may come off rough and make them off harsh.
- 42:11Speaker 6: I don't really care if it does. It's my honesty,
- 42:13Speaker 6: it's my truth, it's my opinion, and I stand on
- 42:16Speaker 6: everything I say. But she was tolerable in those moments
- 42:20Speaker 6: and actually way more interesting than just popping off. And
- 42:24Speaker 6: that's one note that is very one dimensional. But when
- 42:27Speaker 6: you give us a little bit more, we can almost
- 42:29Speaker 6: understand why you have triggers or why you behave the
- 42:33Speaker 6: way you do, or why you pop off, because it
- 42:35Speaker 6: makes more sense. But if you just give us this
- 42:37Speaker 6: one note of always it seemed mean, like you're trying
- 42:40Speaker 6: to steal the scene by getting a read on someone
- 42:42Speaker 6: when I feel that.
- 42:44Speaker 3: But this is.
- 42:45Speaker 7: Funny that you say that, Claudia, because this is why
- 42:47Speaker 7: I love talking about this show with y'all, because you're
- 42:51Speaker 7: one hundred percent right. My takeaway was kind of like
- 42:54Speaker 7: the opposite because I saw I had a revelation when
- 42:57Speaker 7: it came to Bridge, you know, Brit on the show
- 42:59Speaker 7: this week too, but mine was the opposite. I was
- 43:02Speaker 7: much more empathetic to her the past couple of weeks,
- 43:05Speaker 7: and I kind of when she was talking about the
- 43:07Speaker 7: Kenya situation, it made me feel for her. But this week,
- 43:10Speaker 7: when I saw, like the way that she was being
- 43:13Speaker 7: combative with Angelo on the couch at Cynthia's Bailey Q
- 43:16Speaker 7: this week, when I saw a couple of other conversations
- 43:18Speaker 7: she had, I just noticed like, Okay, maybe there is
- 43:21Speaker 7: a little sharp edge here is that is persisting throughout
- 43:25Speaker 7: each scene that she's in, when she's in group scenes
- 43:27Speaker 7: or when she's talking to these ladies. I started getting
- 43:31Speaker 7: I started really picking up on the mean girl shit
- 43:33Speaker 7: this week when it comes to brit you know what
- 43:35Speaker 7: I'm saying, specifically her so we both had revelations this week.
- 43:39Speaker 7: Mine was just a little bit on the other side.
- 43:42Speaker 7: Like this week, I was kind of like, Okay, Britt
- 43:44Speaker 7: does have a penchant toward conflict with these women, and
- 43:47Speaker 7: when it goes there and when she has a disagreement,
- 43:50Speaker 7: she does kind of jump to shark a little bit.
- 43:52Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying. With her reactions to them.
- 43:53Speaker 7: I saw it this week.
- 43:56Speaker 6: Maybe I should reward it because I agree with you
- 43:58Speaker 6: on that, like make me like her. Yeah, but it
- 44:03Speaker 6: made me be like, Okay, you're giving us more than
- 44:05Speaker 6: just every single scene is just that, like you're fighting.
- 44:09Speaker 6: It does give you that she doesn't really get along
- 44:12Speaker 6: with a lot of people, including family, friends, other women.
- 44:17Speaker 6: The only person that seems like she kind of gets
- 44:18Speaker 6: along with our men her husband, and he got the breast.
- 44:22Speaker 1: See that's okay, I'm glad you said that. That's why
- 44:25Speaker 1: you're so smart, Claudia. I watched the scene with Brenn
- 44:30Speaker 1: and her family. First of all, she's beautiful with no makeup.
- 44:34Speaker 1: I loved. I loved seeing her without makeup of fresh face.
- 44:39Speaker 1: She was beautiful without the makeup. As I was watching
- 44:42Speaker 1: the scene, I thought her grandmother was hilarious. I love
- 44:45Speaker 1: her grandmother because I think all of us who have
- 44:48Speaker 1: black grandmamas. She read and she made what she said,
- 44:52Speaker 1: and they all shut up as I was watching it,
- 44:56Speaker 1: And this is me being honest. In the moment, I
- 44:59Speaker 1: was as connected to this scene, and I and I
- 45:03Speaker 1: and I and I and I sat there and I
- 45:04Speaker 1: asked myself, like, why is it hard for me to
- 45:08Speaker 1: connect to this scene because we are seeing her family members, right?
- 45:14Speaker 1: And I kept like, I really hear pause because I
- 45:18Speaker 1: wanted to sit in it and be like, why aren't
- 45:20Speaker 1: you connecting to this scene? Because I'm the king of
- 45:23Speaker 1: personal story. I love personal story. And then it hit
- 45:26Speaker 1: me today, which is why I'm glad I watched it
- 45:28Speaker 1: last night. It hit me today that the reason why
- 45:31Speaker 1: I felt disconnected with BRIT's scene is because I felt
- 45:35Speaker 1: like there's so much more that's not being said, that really,
- 45:42Speaker 1: what you said, Claudia can possibly explain some of the behavior,
- 45:48Speaker 1: because it is evident that there's a lot of strong
- 45:51Speaker 1: female energy in her family, and maybe Brit is not
- 45:55Speaker 1: the place in her journey to articulate that to us. Right,
- 46:01Speaker 1: I do feel like brit does have issues with females,
- 46:06Speaker 1: and I think a lot of that has to do
- 46:08Speaker 1: with the relationship she has with her family members. And
- 46:13Speaker 1: it hit me today that what I wanted for britt
- 46:15Speaker 1: in that scene, which it's no fault of her own
- 46:18Speaker 1: if she's not there yet, but it would have been
- 46:20Speaker 1: nice for her to articulate that this is how I
- 46:24Speaker 1: grew up, this is this is this is the dynamic
- 46:28Speaker 1: around me and other women of my family and because
- 46:31Speaker 1: of this, I don't have a lot of female friends
- 46:33Speaker 1: because I because as y'all can see, we don't hear
- 46:36Speaker 1: each other. And I felt like that was the missing element. Again,
- 46:40Speaker 1: not BRIT's fault, but that's the reason why it was
- 46:44Speaker 1: hard for me to connect to it, because I felt
- 46:46Speaker 1: like I'm seeing it, but I'm missing any emotional attachment
- 46:51Speaker 1: to it.
- 46:51Speaker 7: No, I just think that Brittany was britt Excuse me,
- 46:54Speaker 7: I said to say Brittany. I think britt was very
- 46:56Speaker 7: but her name is britt Edie, so when the iteration
- 46:59Speaker 7: of it makes you think saying Britney.
- 47:00Speaker 2: But anyway, I don't think.
- 47:02Speaker 7: I think that she was very aware that the cameras
- 47:04Speaker 7: were rolling in that scene when they were packing up
- 47:06Speaker 7: her mother's house. She seemed performative to me in a
- 47:11Speaker 7: way where she was trying to present herself as the
- 47:13Speaker 7: peacemaker amongst her crazy family, quote unquote to her wild
- 47:17Speaker 7: family that's willing to to show that on camera, and
- 47:19Speaker 7: I get it, but I think that that's something we
- 47:22Speaker 7: can attribute to this being her first season on this
- 47:24Speaker 7: show and her not being one hundred percent transparent in
- 47:27Speaker 7: front of the cameras. On a positive note, I think
- 47:30Speaker 7: that she has a family that is very willing to
- 47:33Speaker 7: be transparent on camera and show their personalities, which that's
- 47:37Speaker 7: always a valuable currency amongst the housewives world, right, And
- 47:42Speaker 7: I think that there's also a lot of layers there too,
- 47:45Speaker 7: unpacked from a production standpoint, in ways that we can
- 47:49Speaker 7: get to know her outside of her being in conflict
- 47:52Speaker 7: amongst the women on the show.
- 47:53Speaker 2: Right.
- 47:54Speaker 7: So maybe if she comes back next season, once they
- 47:57Speaker 7: start digging into that family. I think that her sisters
- 48:00Speaker 7: share and I think that her mother, and I think
- 48:03Speaker 7: her sister that also has been distant from them through
- 48:06Speaker 7: the grief. I believe her name was Tierra. Those three
- 48:08Speaker 7: women have a story to tell, and I think that
- 48:12Speaker 7: Bridge just kind of scratched the surface when she mentioned
- 48:14Speaker 7: that they were employed in her insurance agency, and once
- 48:17Speaker 7: she decided to sell it, they were no longer employed
- 48:20Speaker 7: by her and they created a rift in their relationship.
- 48:22Speaker 7: I think there's a lot more to that that they
- 48:25Speaker 7: all seemed to be willing to share on camera, So
- 48:28Speaker 7: that may be something good to see.
- 48:29Speaker 2: Coming from her. She comes back for another season.
- 48:32Speaker 7: But in that scene, I felt like, Okay, she's doing
- 48:34Speaker 7: what Shemia did in her very first scene when she
- 48:37Speaker 7: came in and greeted the family and the bags were
- 48:40Speaker 7: staged on the counter.
- 48:41Speaker 2: And all that stuff.
- 48:42Speaker 7: And she even said that they had practiced the scene
- 48:44Speaker 7: the day before that came to shoot or whatever. So
- 48:47Speaker 7: I think it was just that, yeah, she said Shemi
- 48:50Speaker 7: was honest about that. She said they have been practicing
- 48:52Speaker 7: and that when they came to shoot, her husband pulled
- 48:55Speaker 7: out the driveway.
- 48:56Speaker 2: She said that in the interview. It was actually really funny.
- 48:58Speaker 6: I think Britt maybe victim of her own perception, like
- 49:02Speaker 6: perceived so prettiness, like I'm so pretty, you know what
- 49:04Speaker 6: I mean, And she's not. She is a pretty girl, right,
- 49:07Speaker 6: but let's be rolls. She's definitely an insecure woman because
- 49:10Speaker 6: she did a lot of things to herself, a lot
- 49:12Speaker 6: of things.
- 49:12Speaker 3: She did a whole remodel. I liked my house when
- 49:15Speaker 3: I got it, but I didn't love it.
- 49:16Speaker 6: So I put in new walls and new ceilings and
- 49:18Speaker 6: new fans and new new walls and painted it and
- 49:21Speaker 6: changed things up.
- 49:22Speaker 3: It was cute, but I didn't love it.
- 49:23Speaker 6: I think she always was maybe putting a lot of
- 49:26Speaker 6: attention and a lot of energy on her cuteness, and
- 49:28Speaker 6: that ends up making you a mean girl sometimes, and
- 49:30Speaker 6: that also makes you be a type of girl that
- 49:33Speaker 6: is not not good with other women. And I think
- 49:37Speaker 6: it's very It shows a lack of depth with her.
- 49:41Speaker 6: With even you guys both saying it was very performative
- 49:43Speaker 6: with the family, I agree with that. I think she's
- 49:45Speaker 6: very surface, and I think if she would just let go,
- 49:49Speaker 6: You know, Carlos, when actresses come on the show, they
- 49:51Speaker 6: can't really let go because they try to control too much.
- 49:54Speaker 6: I don't want you to think this about me. I
- 49:56Speaker 6: don't want you to think that about me, So I'm
- 49:57Speaker 6: going to give you exactly prepackaged when I want y'all
- 50:01Speaker 6: to think and know about me. But times have change,
- 50:04Speaker 6: like now, flaws are more attractive, like we want to hear,
- 50:08Speaker 6: we want to hear like, what made you be so bitchy?
- 50:12Speaker 3: What made you be such an asshole?
- 50:14Speaker 6: Because even there is some beauty in that we can
- 50:17Speaker 6: get a story that makes sense to us, right or
- 50:20Speaker 6: that is real, that is authentic. It did seem like
- 50:22Speaker 6: the family was more willing to be forthcoming than she was.
- 50:26Speaker 3: It still feels like she was still you.
- 50:27Speaker 6: Know, like and Britain, you've got to stop putting all
- 50:32Speaker 6: the ills in your life. Everything that's gone wrong in
- 50:34Speaker 6: your life is not because of your looks sometimes and
- 50:38Speaker 6: I think people use looks, colorism, and a couple other
- 50:41Speaker 6: things to excuse maybe sometimes a shitty personality sometimes that
- 50:45Speaker 6: has nothing to do with looks or your color, your
- 50:47Speaker 6: skin tone. You're just an asshole And not just saying her,
- 50:50Speaker 6: but people in general. I think a lot of times,
- 50:52Speaker 6: well it's because i'm this. Everything in my life is
- 50:55Speaker 6: because of this. No, you can tribute. There's plenty of
- 50:58Speaker 6: beautiful women that are likable, you know what I mean?
- 51:00Speaker 6: There are And brit I think the reason why it
- 51:04Speaker 6: felt so performative with your family and we weren't, we
- 51:06Speaker 6: didn't get pulled in like we should because you waited
- 51:09Speaker 6: too long to give us this and You've been on
- 51:12Speaker 6: the show for I don't know how at this point
- 51:14Speaker 6: how many months y'all were filming, and we haven't really
- 51:16Speaker 6: seen anything of depth from you.
- 51:18Speaker 3: Just surfaced up. My looks, my looks, my looks. I'm
- 51:20Speaker 3: a baddie. I'm a video of it because I'm this,
- 51:22Speaker 3: I'm that, I'm.
- 51:22Speaker 6: Hot, my husband's rich. I'm going to the con dealership,
- 51:24Speaker 6: but I'm not buying anything, but I'm gonna floss everything's image.
- 51:28Speaker 6: So if you want to come in and episode nine
- 51:30Speaker 6: and finally give us something, it's feeling a little bit
- 51:33Speaker 6: kind of like it's falling flat because you're kind of
- 51:36Speaker 6: rusty at it, you know what I mean, You're kind
- 51:38Speaker 6: of rusty, Like we're just like, eh, a little bit
- 51:40Speaker 6: too little, too late. But I would like to see
- 51:43Speaker 6: more of that. If you want to estalvage the second.
- 51:45Speaker 1: One, I would love to see more of that and listen.
- 51:49Speaker 1: Maybe she doesn't control obviously where the scenes get placed,
- 51:53Speaker 1: but I will say this, and this is a call
- 51:56Speaker 1: to action to all new reality stars, housewives, whatever. If
- 52:01Speaker 1: you are in a relationship and you sign on to
- 52:03Speaker 1: do the show, the only way we're gonna get to
- 52:05Speaker 1: know the real you is if we're able to see
- 52:07Speaker 1: some slices of life or your relationship Shemiah, who I love,
- 52:12Speaker 1: I love Shamiah. I felt Shemiah started off strong. I
- 52:16Speaker 1: feel like Shamia is losing a lot of the audience.
- 52:19Speaker 1: We're not seeing. We're not seeing a lot of Samiyah's
- 52:23Speaker 1: personal story that may all of us instantly fall in
- 52:27Speaker 1: love with her. In the first episode, we got to
- 52:28Speaker 1: see you know, Gerald, we got to see her her
- 52:33Speaker 1: amazingly beautiful daughter, and we got a chance to see
- 52:36Speaker 1: her home life, and to us, Shemiah was presented as
- 52:41Speaker 1: like this African princess, and I don't know where that
- 52:46Speaker 1: where we're going with that. I would love to see
- 52:48Speaker 1: her and Gerald have conversations. We're not getting any of that.
- 52:53Speaker 1: We're not getting any real conversations with Britt and her husband.
- 52:57Speaker 1: I would love to see Britt tell her husband, I'm
- 52:59Speaker 1: about to go to the simp and belly thing child.
- 53:02Speaker 1: Angela Oakley, God be with me baby, the way we
- 53:06Speaker 1: saw with Angela and and you you you knew girls.
- 53:12Speaker 1: The reason why Angela is winning the game as of today,
- 53:15Speaker 1: because you're only as good as your last episode. If
- 53:20Speaker 1: you're not giving us home life we're gonna be checked out,
- 53:24Speaker 1: and and I'm concerned about the rest of these girls
- 53:27Speaker 1: because it's only so much shade and read and all
- 53:30Speaker 1: that we can get. We want to see personal story,
- 53:34Speaker 1: and Angela Oakley is giving us her husband, who's a legend,
- 53:40Speaker 1: and we get to see her husband talk about the trip.
- 53:42Speaker 1: We get to see her download her husband how she
- 53:45Speaker 1: gonna be and he's like low key telling her, like,
- 53:48Speaker 1: you're doing too much. That's why we love Angela. And
- 53:52Speaker 1: without seeing some of that. When you girls have husbands
- 53:54Speaker 1: who are on the show, y'all gotta y'all gotta dive
- 53:57Speaker 1: more into that than in the rehearse reads that your
- 54:01Speaker 1: glam squad give you on a post it note.
- 54:04Speaker 3: Uh, very disappointing.
- 54:07Speaker 6: Shemiah came out the gate super like, super hard, and
- 54:10Speaker 6: it wasn't like she was trying. She just was existing
- 54:12Speaker 6: and being dope, being fabulous and we vote and totally out.
- 54:15Speaker 3: Of the shadow of Porsche holding her own.
- 54:18Speaker 6: But I think it's easy to fall back into, you know,
- 54:22Speaker 6: comfortable roles, like you know, she's always been a support
- 54:25Speaker 6: for Porsche.
- 54:26Speaker 3: Don't know if it's the other way around.
- 54:27Speaker 6: It seems like Shamia is at her detriment being a
- 54:30Speaker 6: support for porsia. And you know, I feel like there's
- 54:33Speaker 6: a couple times in this episode that if Shemiah would
- 54:36Speaker 6: have like gone this way instead of that way, she
- 54:39Speaker 6: could have not claimed the number one spot because I
- 54:42Speaker 6: think Angel's so far ahead of the girls now, but
- 54:44Speaker 6: she could have got more in the mix by this
- 54:46Speaker 6: is what the one scene I think the one part Shamiah,
- 54:49Speaker 6: you are a happily married woman in a successful marriage.
- 54:52Speaker 6: That your marriage. We don't hear drama about your marriage.
- 54:55Speaker 6: You know your girl's wrong and somehows we have to
- 54:57Speaker 6: have these uncomfortable conversations. If you would have checked Porsche
- 55:01Speaker 6: in a loving way the way friends do and told her, look,
- 55:05Speaker 6: yeah we was drinking. Yeah you're not feeling no girl,
- 55:07Speaker 6: but I gotta put my foot down as.
- 55:09Speaker 3: A married woman.
- 55:10Speaker 6: That wasn't cool when you said about, you know, be
- 55:12Speaker 6: careful for Angela's husband. If you would have done that,
- 55:16Speaker 6: it would have been like respect and maybe it's time
- 55:21Speaker 6: for you to do it. But I feel like by
- 55:22Speaker 6: you not holding her accountable, it put you in a
- 55:24Speaker 6: secondary position and not an A level. It kind of
- 55:28Speaker 6: puts you on the B team, not the A team.
- 55:29Speaker 6: And you have everything you need to be on the
- 55:32Speaker 6: A team, shamiir you do, but you gotta not be
- 55:35Speaker 6: You gotta be fearless when it comes to telling your
- 55:36Speaker 6: friend that she was wrong and say that about another
- 55:38Speaker 6: woman's husband, whether you like the girl you don't.
- 55:42Speaker 7: Yeah, Well for me speaking for me, because I agree
- 55:45Speaker 7: with everything you all are saying.
- 55:47Speaker 2: But overall, when I zoom out.
- 55:49Speaker 7: Like big picture and look at this season, I'm having
- 55:51Speaker 7: a great time as a viewer. I still feel like
- 55:54Speaker 7: Shamiah is running the show. I feel like she's in
- 55:56Speaker 7: charge of the girls personally. Although we have I haven't
- 56:00Speaker 7: seen her husband. I think she's been very open, even
- 56:02Speaker 7: on and off camera, about his lack of motivation or
- 56:06Speaker 7: desire to participate. And I think that we got what
- 56:09Speaker 7: we're gonna get from him, you know what I'm saying.
- 56:10Speaker 7: He shows up to the big events, he says, hi, whatever,
- 56:14Speaker 7: and that's it. So I'm really not even looking for
- 56:16Speaker 7: anything else from her. And she supplements her place on
- 56:19Speaker 7: the show and her interaction and engaging with the other
- 56:22Speaker 7: ladies with this really robust personal story about her taking
- 56:26Speaker 7: care of her daughter and now meaning the new Sarah
- 56:29Speaker 7: get her anxiety about starting that journey. It's just different,
- 56:32Speaker 7: and I'm enjoying what I see from her on the
- 56:34Speaker 7: show this season. I'm actually having a great time watching
- 56:38Speaker 7: this season. I'm really really enjoying it.
- 56:40Speaker 2: Great season, I am.
- 56:41Speaker 7: I'm having a great time watching this season, and I'm
- 56:43Speaker 7: enjoying these ladies on this show. And it's been a
- 56:45Speaker 7: long time because I really hated season fifteen and season
- 56:50Speaker 7: fourteen was not my favorite either, So this for me,
- 56:53Speaker 7: season sixteen has been such a return to not even
- 56:56Speaker 7: a return it for him because it feels so new.
- 56:58Speaker 7: It doesn't feel anything like the old school housewives that
- 57:02Speaker 7: we all know and love. So I don't know. I'm
- 57:05Speaker 7: enjoying it and I'm just gonna let the rest of
- 57:06Speaker 7: the season play out. But I agree, yeah no, what
- 57:09Speaker 7: you guys said.
- 57:11Speaker 1: Yeah no, the season is great. The season is great.
- 57:13Speaker 1: The thing for me, though, is if I'm seeing more
- 57:16Speaker 1: of your husband on YouTube, then I have a problem
- 57:19Speaker 1: with that. I have a problem with that, and it
- 57:23Speaker 1: is the reason why I made the call to action
- 57:26Speaker 1: at the top of this recap in terms of how
- 57:29Speaker 1: Cynthia is killing it as a friend of because she
- 57:32Speaker 1: doesn't have the pressure to be like, let me give
- 57:33Speaker 1: you my whole life, and I'm gonna say this and
- 57:36Speaker 1: I take it back. The Real Housewives of Atlanta was
- 57:39Speaker 1: built off a personal story. There will be no season
- 57:43Speaker 1: two if it wasn't for it, Greg Leaks. May he
- 57:45Speaker 1: rest in peace? Right? Greg Leaks helped us also fall
- 57:49Speaker 1: in love with Nini. Nini was to break out star.
- 57:51Speaker 1: We loved her, but Greg Leaks also helped that situation.
- 57:55Speaker 1: He was the voice of reason. Right, you had so
- 58:00Speaker 1: Peter Thomas and Cynthia, Phaedra and Apollo, Candy Todd like,
- 58:05Speaker 1: we're no longer getting these women signing up to do
- 58:11Speaker 1: the show and listen, I don't care if I disagree
- 58:15Speaker 1: with you or not. Symp And Belly said this publicly,
- 58:19Speaker 1: and so I'm not saying anything she said privately. These
- 58:24Speaker 1: husbands don't get paid. So because of that, cimpa Belly
- 58:27Speaker 1: along with other girls, and is their story to tell.
- 58:29Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spill their own tea. Cynthia and Bailly
- 58:31Speaker 1: had to pay Peter Thomas to film because he wasn't
- 58:34Speaker 1: getting a check. But cynth and Billy also knew, this
- 58:38Speaker 1: is an investment in our future and in order for
- 58:42Speaker 1: my storyline to be great, I need my husband, and
- 58:47Speaker 1: a lot of these girls at the time also did that.
- 58:51Speaker 1: So I don't want to get into this pattern like
- 58:56Speaker 1: I saw on New York City Housewives, where you have
- 59:02Speaker 1: what's her name, Dustin No, the fashion icons. Yeah, the
- 59:13Speaker 1: fact that Jennallions Claudia Jordan, Jennifer Lyons is a lesbian,
- 59:16Speaker 1: she has a a fiance and you will never see
- 59:19Speaker 1: her on the show, but you see her mama.
- 59:25Speaker 3: And I mean, I'm not I.
- 59:26Speaker 1: Don't, I don't want, I don't want. So the show
- 59:29Speaker 1: is called the Real Housewives, it's not called single ladies.
- 59:32Speaker 1: Shout out to Beyonce, Lisa Ray McCoy, Queen Latifa, Stacey
- 59:37Speaker 1: Dash like, I don't. If you are a married woman
- 59:42Speaker 1: and you're on the Real Housewives, I need to see
- 59:44Speaker 1: your husband every other episode. I'm sorry, I do. I
- 59:48Speaker 1: don't think it should be. Well, he'll on a film, Well,
- 59:50Speaker 1: he films on you YouTube, he films on TikTok, he
- 59:54Speaker 1: films on Instagram's Instagram Live.
- 59:57Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 59:58Speaker 1: So when so when you fall in love with the
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: Angela Oapley and I'm gonna say this and I'll take
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: you back. I think a lot of the girls are
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: gagging that Angela Oapley has become, as of today, the
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: fan favorite because I'm gonna tell y'all why she's giving
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: us the entire picture, the entire picture, and you girls
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: gonna have to start doing that. So let's let's talk up.
- 1:00:24Speaker 6: I hate how the girls are all ganging up on
- 1:00:27Speaker 6: Angela except Drew.
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: Cynthy's not ganging up.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: Oh by the way, now, Claudia, I'm so sorry. And
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: Juice Juica Dora is is is doing an estellar job
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: because and listen, I don't care to hear anyone say, well,
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: my husband does not want to film. You got wrapped
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: in the basement near the mice traps, okay filming, and
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: he's doing interviews and they're at the courthouse and he
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: is giving commentary on the road and they are a strange.
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: Give Juice of Dora some props that she is even
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: giving us her estranged husband. So excuse me if you
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: have a problem with us being like you are married
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: with the ring and we don't see your husband. But
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: for Juice of Dora husband trapped in the basement, we
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: get to see him. Shout out to Juice Dora.
- 1:01:30Speaker 6: Yeah, don't show us the car dealerships the jewelry, the houses,
- 1:01:34Speaker 6: the luxury, the things, the items that you got through
- 1:01:37Speaker 6: your marriage through a wealthy man, but then not show
- 1:01:40Speaker 6: the relationship because you're doing yourself a disservice.
- 1:01:42Speaker 3: We're absolutely bored.
- 1:01:43Speaker 6: Whenever we see BRIT's husband, don'ty Know's name, because he's
- 1:01:46Speaker 6: not really that much of a presence on the show.
- 1:01:48Speaker 6: He just gives kind of like assistant, kind of sounding
- 1:01:51Speaker 6: board for her for a little while. Then he seems
- 1:01:52Speaker 6: checked out. It's like, whatever this. We don't really see
- 1:01:54Speaker 6: the chemistry. We don't really get much about their relationship.
- 1:01:57Speaker 6: I love that one time when he kind of tried
- 1:01:59Speaker 6: to hold her accountable in the parking lot with the
- 1:02:02Speaker 6: gun gate, But other than that, we haven't seen anything.
- 1:02:05Speaker 6: So it's like yan boring because you're giving us one note.
- 1:02:08Speaker 6: And the Angela Oakley and Drew to me at the
- 1:02:13Speaker 6: stars of the season. I want to see their storylines
- 1:02:16Speaker 6: because they're the only ones that have them that are
- 1:02:18Speaker 6: not dependent on arguing with somebody else, whether they are
- 1:02:22Speaker 6: arguing with the girls or not. They still have kids
- 1:02:25Speaker 6: to raise and husbands to feed or to avoid in
- 1:02:29Speaker 6: the in the in the foyer of their homes, you know,
- 1:02:33Speaker 6: like that's interesting and I don't like. Again the reason
- 1:02:37Speaker 6: why I didn't like this episode, it was very mean
- 1:02:39Speaker 6: girl ganging up on Angela.
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: It kind of felt like it kind of felt like
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: how they used to do Kenya.
- 1:02:46Speaker 6: They all be five on one to Kenya back in
- 1:02:48Speaker 6: the day before Kenya got a couple of friends on
- 1:02:50Speaker 6: the show. But it just seems like I don't see
- 1:02:53Speaker 6: why they're hating so much on Angela when I don't
- 1:02:56Speaker 6: feel like she's a troublemaker. I feel like she just
- 1:02:58Speaker 6: doesn't let them punk her and she stands on business
- 1:03:01Speaker 6: and she gives what we want to see. So I
- 1:03:02Speaker 6: don't know why they're being so mean, Like it seems
- 1:03:04Speaker 6: like every scene is you know Angela, Angela Ya, Angela
- 1:03:07Speaker 6: talking about her every single episode of you know scene
- 1:03:09Speaker 6: and it's kind of getting a little redundant it is,
- 1:03:12Speaker 6: and I feel like she's being put in a corner.
- 1:03:15Speaker 6: You have to read the girls down because they're talking
- 1:03:18Speaker 6: about her when she's not around.
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: Then they're blaming her for hearing them.
- 1:03:22Speaker 6: Talk about her, which is ridiculous. Like they are gaslighting
- 1:03:25Speaker 6: her left and right. That's what they're doing to her.
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: I agree, I love Angela.
- 1:03:30Speaker 7: I think she's taking it like a champion, showing herself
- 1:03:33Speaker 7: beyond fit to be on a show like this Ray.
- 1:03:37Speaker 7: She knows how to kind of define her space on
- 1:03:39Speaker 7: this show. She was, you know, somebody that a lot
- 1:03:42Speaker 7: of viewers did not see coming as far as like
- 1:03:45Speaker 7: moving to the forefront of the fandom right and the
- 1:03:48Speaker 7: poor people becoming a fan favorite. People didn't really see
- 1:03:51Speaker 7: that from her when we first met her, but damn it,
- 1:03:54Speaker 7: I guess she showed our ass. Because I love Angelo.
- 1:03:57Speaker 7: I have been thoroughly enjoying and Angela Oakley and her
- 1:04:01Speaker 7: clothes mouth smile that she has when she's talking shit
- 1:04:04Speaker 7: and waiting her turn to return serve. I love everything
- 1:04:08Speaker 7: about her, and I do understand what you mean, Claudia
- 1:04:11Speaker 7: when you say that there was a mean girl kind
- 1:04:12Speaker 7: of element to this show this week, because the insults
- 1:04:15Speaker 7: kind of did get a little bit over there, you
- 1:04:18Speaker 7: know what I mean. And some of the things that
- 1:04:20Speaker 7: Angela heard them saying about her were not related to
- 1:04:23Speaker 7: you know, indiscretions and things that happened between them as
- 1:04:27Speaker 7: cast members.
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: It was opinion based. I don't like how she dressed.
- 1:04:31Speaker 7: She are oh she looks oh, you know, so that
- 1:04:33Speaker 7: can feel I can get how that can feel like
- 1:04:35Speaker 7: me and girls.
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: I understand what you're saying.
- 1:04:36Speaker 6: Well, if I overhear girls talking about me and one
- 1:04:39Speaker 6: even saying they want to f my husband, and then
- 1:04:42Speaker 6: I go confront you about it as a grown woman
- 1:04:44Speaker 6: should in the moment, don't wait months or talk about
- 1:04:46Speaker 6: the girl behind the back, Go go and dress her.
- 1:04:48Speaker 6: Maybe I know what, Maybe I didn't hear you correctly.
- 1:04:52Speaker 6: There's nothing wrong with that, But to go ahead and
- 1:04:54Speaker 6: gaslight me and say, well her inspect the gadget that
- 1:04:57Speaker 6: I shouldn't have been listening and she was all being nosy, y'
- 1:05:01Speaker 6: y'all was talking about her. You got over her because
- 1:05:04Speaker 6: you were allowed and drunk, and then when she comes check,
- 1:05:07Speaker 6: you don't blame her. I hate when people do that,
- 1:05:10Speaker 6: say you know what, my babby were talking trash about you.
- 1:05:13Speaker 6: You know, No, I'm sorry you heard me because you investigated. No,
- 1:05:17Speaker 6: that's not an apology. That is not on your grown
- 1:05:20Speaker 6: women stuff like people want to pick and choose when
- 1:05:22Speaker 6: they want to be grown women. Be a grown woman
- 1:05:24Speaker 6: across the board, and you know what, you can blame
- 1:05:27Speaker 6: on the alcoholf you want, but I'm sorry saying you
- 1:05:29Speaker 6: want to screw another woman's husband, and there's other women
- 1:05:33Speaker 6: there that are married or have been cheated on and
- 1:05:35Speaker 6: they didn't check her or say anything about it or
- 1:05:37Speaker 6: stand up in that moment. You can still not like
- 1:05:39Speaker 6: Angela if you don't want you, but on girl code alone,
- 1:05:43Speaker 6: that should be a no no. You know, I have
- 1:05:45Speaker 6: friends that I have a friend that mess with a
- 1:05:47Speaker 6: married man before, and we had a very serious conversation
- 1:05:50Speaker 6: about that. I do not play that. As much as
- 1:05:52Speaker 6: people want to put that shit on my name, I've
- 1:05:53Speaker 6: never done it and never will and I have to
- 1:05:56Speaker 6: hold my friends accountable. It's a very uncomfortable conversation. But
- 1:05:59Speaker 6: what happens if if you don't speak up, people assume
- 1:06:02Speaker 6: you're all about that life And to me, all those
- 1:06:05Speaker 6: girls that's out there, and I like you Kelly, I
- 1:06:08Speaker 6: like you Kelly, and I like you Shemiah, but y'all
- 1:06:11Speaker 6: should have said something when you sobered up, because it
- 1:06:13Speaker 6: wasn't cool to say that. And a little empathy for
- 1:06:16Speaker 6: Angela being upset, because she's absolutely right to feel a
- 1:06:18Speaker 6: way about that because it was wrong.
- 1:06:20Speaker 7: But props to her right because you see Porsche has
- 1:06:23Speaker 7: taken her issue with Drew from episode one to episode nine.
- 1:06:29Speaker 7: The conversation Angela overheard was shown to us in episode eight,
- 1:06:33Speaker 7: and in episode nine, we've already seen her have two
- 1:06:35Speaker 7: conversations to resolve it. Not resolve it, but to come
- 1:06:38Speaker 7: to a common ground and be able to move forward.
- 1:06:41Speaker 7: Shout out to Angela for even being willing to do that,
- 1:06:43Speaker 7: because I think there's some other cast members who would
- 1:06:45Speaker 7: have been like, no, I'm not talking to her, and
- 1:06:47Speaker 7: it has gotten dragged all the way out into something
- 1:06:50Speaker 7: that we didn't even give a fuck about. No more So,
- 1:06:52Speaker 7: shout out to Angela. I think she's doing a great
- 1:06:55Speaker 7: job this season.
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: She is because it's what you and Claudiae are saying.
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: She clocks it in the moment and addresses it in
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: the moment, and that's all you can ask for, right,
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: So we do see Cynthia have this June this June tenth.
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: I can't teenth juneteenth. Thank you, Claudia, other journalists Dune
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: teenth event. Okay, so she had the event. I have
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: to give once again. Cynthia's billy cues are always the
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: best events because something's going to happen. Something's going to happen.
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: I will applaud Angela for coming to the lions Den.
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: I don't know I people called this, but so Angela
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: says she overheard the ladies on the Nashville trip called
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: her big Bird. Right. I don't know if Angela did
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: this on purpose, but Angela came in and yellow, and
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: when I saw that, for me, I was like, I think,
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: Angela Key is trying to clock y'all like in my
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: Big Bird. Now I have on yellow. She looked gorgeous.
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: So I don't know if people called that, but I
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: caught it instantly, like she's wearing yellow as a nod
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: of y'all call me big bur Let's talk about it,
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: because she likes to confront things head on. But the
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: conversation or shall I say, confrontation that she had with
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: britt Angela Oakley, the star that you are, I don't
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: know anybody in the moment like that, but it's what
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: Claudia always says about the best reads are the ones
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: where you take what someone is saying to you and
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: you flip it, right. Claudia always said that, like, those
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: are the best weeks. I'm gonna take what you said that,
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: I'm gonna flip it.
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: You're reacting in real time.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: Yeah, that whole comment about BRIT's saying, oh, she's using
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: her mouth now. And then you see Angela goes not
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: as much as y'r okay because you got stretch marks
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: on yr okay, Oh I do no stretch mark girl,
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: the miles on your mind. She stood there, Brit gets
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: up and I thought about you, Claudia last night. I said,
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: oh my god, Claudia is right. Whatever Britt is a confrontation,
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: she physically has to be, you know, bredocious if that's
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: the word in her presentation.
- 1:09:24Speaker 3: She's unhinge, and she's not in control of her emotions.
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: Yeah, But to see how Angela sat there and clocked
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: it and did it so smooth and suave.
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: I love the smirky read.
- 1:09:36Speaker 6: I love the smirky beacause whoever, once again, whoever is
- 1:09:40Speaker 6: in control of their emotions and an argument is the winner.
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: You lost Angela, not as much as you, not as
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: much as yours. Stretch marks, she won, hands down.
- 1:09:56Speaker 7: I agree, no notes, Angela none great episode, and.
- 1:10:01Speaker 6: Britt keeps trying, and like you gotta know, when you're
- 1:10:05Speaker 6: you're out of your league with Angela. You're never gonna
- 1:10:08Speaker 6: win an argument with Angela. We've seen episode nine now
- 1:10:11Speaker 6: You're not gonna win that argument because you're not in
- 1:10:14Speaker 6: control of your emotions. Since you get control of your emotions, Britt,
- 1:10:16Speaker 6: you're never gonna win an argument with Angela Oakley. She's
- 1:10:19Speaker 6: two seasons. She's too in control of her emotions. She's
- 1:10:23Speaker 6: probably heard it all before.
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: She's dated.
- 1:10:24Speaker 6: She's been married to an NBA player for a very
- 1:10:27Speaker 6: long time. This is not new money that she just got.
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: Two years ago. She's used to it. She's probably used
- 1:10:32Speaker 3: to the group.
- 1:10:33Speaker 6: He's coming for a man, the lies, the rumors, some
- 1:10:36Speaker 6: stuff that's probably true that she's had to deal with
- 1:10:38Speaker 6: and put her big girl's draws on. She's seasoned. So
- 1:10:42Speaker 6: all this like gat like standing up low vibration. Really, yes,
- 1:10:48Speaker 6: you you lost the fight the moment that you lost
- 1:10:51Speaker 6: control of your emotions.
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: Angela is wittier than her too. That Britt hasn't shown herself.
- 1:10:56Speaker 7: We've seen her in multiple confrontations with these women verbally,
- 1:10:59Speaker 7: and she's yet to impress me with any like witty
- 1:11:02Speaker 7: retorts or quick comebacks or memorable insults like there's been nothing.
- 1:11:07Speaker 7: So it really makes the moments of confrontation for a
- 1:11:10Speaker 7: flat for me. You know what I'm saying, that's Dustin.
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: You're right, that's you know what. I didn't even think
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: about that. And Claudia, your wordsmith and your comedian, and
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: I want to get to that before we get to
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: the Porsche and Angela one on one that Cynthia maneuvered,
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: because I want to get your thoughts on that. I
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: do think that's what it is. It's not a lot.
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: It's not a lot of wittedness coming from that direction, right.
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: Shamilla Shamiel, to her credit, is funny. I think Shmiah
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: Shamiah is witty and funny. I think Porscha's witty and funny.
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: I think Kelly has her moments of witting fund Angela
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: obviously has understood the assignment. I mean Drew asking if
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: she if Bristol the cat to her face once again,
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: and then took a sip of her dire coke. You know,
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: I do think to your point, though, if we could
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: see more of the funny wit, not more so on
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: the confessionals. I like it in the moment, and I
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: do think that I do think the episode could have
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: used a lot more of that. To your point, Claudia,
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: like really seeing more of those funny reports back and forth.
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: But Simpa Belly decided to get Porscha and Angela in
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: the same room. How do you guys feel that that
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: one on one went down?
- 1:12:26Speaker 7: I think that Porscha's been consistent with her disposition in
- 1:12:30Speaker 7: relation to what she was overheard saying, she don't give
- 1:12:33Speaker 7: a damn and she's I don't know how many different
- 1:12:36Speaker 7: ways she could say that to us, she don't give
- 1:12:37Speaker 7: a fuck. Angela heard her say that, So what you
- 1:12:40Speaker 7: know what I'm saying, like, that's that's how That's where
- 1:12:42Speaker 7: she's at with it. She's like, we was drunk talking
- 1:12:44Speaker 7: shit and I know you're mad about it.
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: I don't care. Let's move on.
- 1:12:48Speaker 7: And the problem with that is that Porscha has refused
- 1:12:51Speaker 7: to move on with not just this conflict with Drew
- 1:12:53Speaker 7: this season, but several other things over the years, and
- 1:12:56Speaker 7: so hearing her expect that in return from Angela feels
- 1:13:00Speaker 7: a little imbalanced for us to have been watching her
- 1:13:03Speaker 7: since season five on this show before she took her break. So,
- 1:13:07Speaker 7: I mean it was the same Angela. Once again, she
- 1:13:09Speaker 7: showed herself as a pro. She was open to the
- 1:13:12Speaker 7: resolution and resolved. She was talking it out as best
- 1:13:15Speaker 7: as they could, keeping it real in her confessionals, but
- 1:13:18Speaker 7: keeping it respectful in the conversation, and that's what we want.
- 1:13:22Speaker 7: Now the show can continue to move forward. We're not
- 1:13:24Speaker 7: going to be stuck in a Angela's man that porsched
- 1:13:28Speaker 7: over what she said situation for nine episodes like we
- 1:13:31Speaker 7: have been with this Porsche and drew shit. So shout
- 1:13:34Speaker 7: out to Cynthia for putting them in the what she
- 1:13:36Speaker 7: called it the profit room.
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: She put him in the profit room.
- 1:13:39Speaker 3: So yep, agreed.
- 1:13:43Speaker 6: Listen, I'm no fan of girls that are not girls
- 1:13:47Speaker 6: girls and that are okay and think it's okay to just,
- 1:13:49Speaker 6: you know, make comments like that about another woman's man
- 1:13:53Speaker 6: and throw it out there. It's not cute to me.
- 1:13:56Speaker 6: It's not cute. It's very low class. And if you
- 1:13:59Speaker 6: already have this narrative about you, you have to be
- 1:14:04Speaker 6: extra diligent about your behavior.
- 1:14:07Speaker 3: I know I have a reputation based on lies.
- 1:14:09Speaker 6: I've never been with anyone's husband, I've never stolen someone's man,
- 1:14:11Speaker 6: I've never done any of that stuff. But for some reason,
- 1:14:13Speaker 6: this reputation has decided to stick on me. Because once
- 1:14:16Speaker 6: it's repeated on a reality shop by where that four
- 1:14:18Speaker 6: million people watch, it's hard to get it off you. Right,
- 1:14:21Speaker 6: So my responsibility when I'm around other women in relationships
- 1:14:25Speaker 6: that have husbands boyfriends, I actually feel I should. It's
- 1:14:29Speaker 6: my It's on me, unfortunately, to go out of my
- 1:14:32Speaker 6: way to make the women comfortable like I in no way,
- 1:14:35Speaker 6: shape or form want your man. If I go into
- 1:14:38Speaker 6: someone's house and it's a married couple, I always address
- 1:14:40Speaker 6: the women and show the women the utmost respect before
- 1:14:43Speaker 6: greeting the man.
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: It's certain things you have to do. Now. If you
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: don't give a.
- 1:14:47Speaker 6: Damn and you don't care, and you think having a
- 1:14:49Speaker 6: fat ass, long weave and being cute is enough to
- 1:14:52Speaker 6: like you know, you should still like me just because
- 1:14:53Speaker 6: of that, then fine, continue living the way you're living.
- 1:14:56Speaker 6: But if you truly do want to turn a page
- 1:14:58Speaker 6: and want people to stop thinking way about you, or
- 1:15:00Speaker 6: maybe you want to evolve, then you have to be
- 1:15:03Speaker 6: diligent about that. You can't be so angry that someone's
- 1:15:07Speaker 6: filming with your man. Right, Oh, I'm sorry your baby
- 1:15:10Speaker 6: daddy that there was two men ago or three men ago, whatever,
- 1:15:13Speaker 6: But then make a comment like this as a throwaway
- 1:15:16Speaker 6: and expect everyone else to let it go and like, oh,
- 1:15:19Speaker 6: it was just the Hennessy.
- 1:15:20Speaker 3: No, No, because the.
- 1:15:22Speaker 6: Same and we had to listen to you complain for
- 1:15:24Speaker 6: about four or five episodes about Drew.
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: So my thing is, if you want grace, you have to.
- 1:15:30Speaker 6: Give a little bit. If you want respect, you have
- 1:15:33Speaker 6: to give a little bit. You were wrong, Porsche by
- 1:15:35Speaker 6: saying that about Angela's husband. There's no if ans a
- 1:15:38Speaker 6: bus about it. Stop trying to be cute, Stop gaslighting,
- 1:15:41Speaker 6: Stop playing in people's faces and make it seem like
- 1:15:44Speaker 6: it's Angela's fault that you said it. You have a
- 1:15:47Speaker 6: reputation as a man stealer. This is like your fourth time,
- 1:15:50Speaker 6: your fourth allegation, and you not helping it. Just apologize
- 1:15:54Speaker 6: and move on. The best apology is change behavior. I
- 1:16:00Speaker 6: don't care if y'all say I hate, I don't, but
- 1:16:02Speaker 6: I hold people accountable in my real life and when
- 1:16:05Speaker 6: I do commentary, Like I said, I had a friend
- 1:16:07Speaker 6: that mess with a married man before and we had
- 1:16:09Speaker 6: very uncomfortable conversations because I don't play that shit. I
- 1:16:13Speaker 6: don't want to be around women like that because they
- 1:16:15Speaker 6: group you all together, and that's what that team of
- 1:16:18Speaker 6: women is looking like that sat there and let those
- 1:16:20Speaker 6: comments be made without checking it.
- 1:16:23Speaker 3: That you were okay with that, it should never be okay.
- 1:16:25Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I'm gonna stand by that till the day
- 1:16:27Speaker 3: I die. It ain't cute.
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: Stop doing it, No, I mean, listen, you definitely have
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: always said that, and I think, look, what I wanted
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: was definitely an apology on both You know what I'm saying.
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: I agree that it would have been nice to see
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: something heartfelt because you could tell that Angela was her
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: by it, and I think for her. I think for
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: Angela if you go back to last week's episode when
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: she was in the lobby waiting for her car service.
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: You know, listen, it's never fun to be the odd
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: person out right. I can only imagine how she felt
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: in that moment, knowing that everybody's talking about you and
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: everyone's laughing at your expense, and then the next morning
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: you see Kelly coming to greet you, and you're still
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: upset about what happened. And I do feel like when
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: it came to Angela's feelings, it wasn't taken seriously. And
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: I think what Angela wanted honestly, because you can tell
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: Angela ain't somebody I don't know her. I'm on leave
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: based off of the show. But based on this show,
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: you can tell that Angela somebody who is so mature
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: that all she wanted was like, Yo, that was fucked up.
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: I apologize to keep it moving. I feel like that's
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: all she wanted. And I think she wanted that from everybody, right,
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: I think based on how she called them out. You know,
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: at the end of lifeast week's episode she did say
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: something about Shamiyah and was it britt being followers or something.
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: I forgot the exact quote. I think she wanted everybody
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: to say, look, we were wrong. And I do feel
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: like based on her and not getting that, I do
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: think And we'll see what happens past of the season.
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: I think Angela is probably going to have a hard
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: time really cementing a real friendship.
- 1:18:25Speaker 6: Carlos, you know portion more than us. So what would
- 1:18:28Speaker 6: you do you think she'll ever really apologize Angela? Because
- 1:18:31Speaker 6: I feel like it would make the season, It would
- 1:18:33Speaker 6: clean things up, like it would get it back, like
- 1:18:35Speaker 6: we're missing this episode to me, the fun. You're not
- 1:18:38Speaker 6: gonna get the fun one liners when people have real
- 1:18:41Speaker 6: their real feelings are really hurt, right, So why won't
- 1:18:44Speaker 6: you just like do you think that she would or
- 1:18:46Speaker 6: do you think like.
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, I do okay, this is okay again. This
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: is when I say this because people love to take
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: what I say and run with it. When I say this,
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: I'm not saying that somebody should have done this. It's
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: a reality show. The reality happens in a perfect world, right.
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: What I would have wanted to see between Angela and
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: Portia was the moment they were in the one on
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: one and I'm only saying this, and Claudia you can
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: stop me because you were there, and the Philippines when
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: I had to get Kenya Moore and favorite parts to
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: really talk and yeah, my life. You know people love
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: to say Karla loves all the drama and the.
- 1:19:30Speaker 3: Men a deal. It was a huge deal.
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: I sent both women and said, I'm over it. It's
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: stupid you two have You two have thrown shots at
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: each other, and the only way you guys are going
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: to hear each other is if there's nobody around, because
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: let's have a real conversation. When you are on a
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: reality show and there's a bunch of cameras and there's
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: in your and your castmates all around. Some not all,
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: Some people become performative because they got to show off
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: from the girl, and I was very methodical in the
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: sense of I talked to Fedra and I spoke to Kenya,
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: and I said, you two have to have this one
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: on one, and the moment they had it washed it scene.
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: It is season seven. They both cried to each other
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: because it was the first time they were able to
- 1:20:29Speaker 1: hear each other out with no distraction, no interruption, and
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: no friends around them. I would have loved if Angela
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: and Portia would have had a one on one and listen,
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: I wasn't there, right, and I'm not saying that it
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: could have had it with a dinner. I'm not there.
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: I think. I think Angela and Portia if they were
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: both able to sit and Angela said, what you said
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: to me hurt me to the core of my heart
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: as a married woman, because that is what I'm hearing
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: about you, that is what I'm feeling about you. And
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: I thought we were on a path of friendship, so
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: to hear a woman that I thought I was building
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: something would make that joke that shit hurt me. And
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: I do believe, as somebody who knows Porsche, I do
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: believe if Porsia would have heard that she would apologize.
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: I think what happens is this and before y'all reading
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: me again this week like I did last week, I
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: know it's fine, it's fine, fine. I think Porsche Porsia
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: has to apologized to Angela because the comment. Although I
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: said the last week, y'all don't listen, that comment wasn't
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: cute and there's no excuses for the comment. I think
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: people get caught up in the construct of the show
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: instead of removing the distractions and saying you to sit
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: down and talk. And I believe with every five of
- 1:22:03Speaker 1: my being that if Angela and Porsche were able to
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: really sit down and talk to each other and Porsche
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: can hear Angela, I do believe that Porscha would have
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: understood it more. I just don't think they are. I
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: don't think they were at the place where they were
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: listening to each other.
- 1:22:23Speaker 7: I don't think Porscha care is enough to keep it
- 1:22:25Speaker 7: so real with you. I think that what you're saying
- 1:22:28Speaker 7: is one hundred percent right and would have made for
- 1:22:30Speaker 7: a much more fulfilling and riched moment on the show.
- 1:22:35Speaker 7: But I just think that they're a new relationship, and
- 1:22:37Speaker 7: I don't think Porsche care feels that there's a wrong
- 1:22:41Speaker 7: she has to really right beyond the apology she gave
- 1:22:44Speaker 7: at Cynthia's house.
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: I don't think that's right.
- 1:22:46Speaker 7: But based on what I've seen on the show, I
- 1:22:49Speaker 7: don't see Porsche really motivated to like make that right.
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
- 1:22:53Speaker 7: I think that she just is kind of like, well,
- 1:22:55Speaker 7: whatever I said, it were just having fun.
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: What's the big deal?
- 1:22:58Speaker 7: Kind of But if a word to have to sit
- 1:23:01Speaker 7: down you just describe, I think she would be open
- 1:23:03Speaker 7: to understanding it from Angela's respective more, just like you said, so,
- 1:23:07Speaker 7: it would definitely be beneficial, but we ain't get that.
- 1:23:11Speaker 3: I agree with you.
- 1:23:12Speaker 6: I think Porscha doesn't care, not just about angel because
- 1:23:14Speaker 6: it's a new friendship. I just think Porscha's not a
- 1:23:16Speaker 6: girl's girl all the time. She's a girl's girl when
- 1:23:18Speaker 6: it's fun, but when it really matters, Like to me,
- 1:23:21Speaker 6: being a girl's girl's easy when it's so on you
- 1:23:23Speaker 6: care about when it's your friend, It's very easy to
- 1:23:25Speaker 6: be a girl's girl if you love someone, it's easy
- 1:23:27Speaker 6: to be a girl's girl. You're a girl's girl if
- 1:23:29Speaker 6: you can be a girl's girl and not a snake
- 1:23:31Speaker 6: to someone that does not benefit you, that is just
- 1:23:34Speaker 6: simply a fellow woman out here in these streets. And
- 1:23:37Speaker 6: she showed us time and time again. She doesn't respect marriages,
- 1:23:41Speaker 6: she doesn't respect people's relationships, and she sees a chink
- 1:23:46Speaker 6: in the armor.
- 1:23:46Speaker 3: She's going for the kill. It was gonna help.
- 1:23:48Speaker 6: Her, if it's gonna benefit her financially, She's going to
- 1:23:50Speaker 6: do it. And yes, I said it. Carloton't say it,
- 1:23:52Speaker 6: so don't put that on him.
- 1:23:54Speaker 3: I said it.
- 1:23:54Speaker 6: God, and call me a hater, but I just don't
- 1:23:56Speaker 6: think she's a girl's girl. But sadly, what I can
- 1:23:59Speaker 6: offer some insight. I know I do this every week,
- 1:24:02Speaker 6: but fuck it, it's gonna have to just keep on going.
- 1:24:05Speaker 6: When she is one on one without everybody around the cameras,
- 1:24:09Speaker 6: she is a lot nicer than what you guys see.
- 1:24:11Speaker 6: I feel like people do, like Dustin said, they do
- 1:24:14Speaker 6: it for the gram.
- 1:24:15Speaker 3: They put a little stink. Oh, I ain't going out
- 1:24:17Speaker 3: like that. I don't care.
- 1:24:18Speaker 6: Blame it on the Hennessy, but listen, it's impossible if
- 1:24:21Speaker 6: you have a heart to ignore how much you're hurting.
- 1:24:26Speaker 3: Someone when you look them in the eye and you
- 1:24:28Speaker 3: have a one.
- 1:24:29Speaker 6: On one conversation. So a lot of times these conversations
- 1:24:32Speaker 6: happened off camera. Philippines, Phaedra and Kenya. I'm glad you
- 1:24:35Speaker 6: brought that up. It was a beautiful moment. Actually, we
- 1:24:38Speaker 6: all got along on that trip. Nini wasn't there, but
- 1:24:41Speaker 6: everyone got along. We hang out, hung out. We guess
- 1:24:43Speaker 6: what went to shit when we got back in the
- 1:24:46Speaker 6: States and old the episodes out airing and you watched
- 1:24:49Speaker 6: what someone said three months prior. But when it's one
- 1:24:51Speaker 6: on one and the cameras went off, when I tell you,
- 1:24:54Speaker 6: we all I had fun with Portia, and Phaedra and
- 1:24:58Speaker 6: Demitria had fun with this, it was Kenya and it
- 1:25:01Speaker 6: was everyone got along on that trip and then it
- 1:25:04Speaker 6: all went to shit. When we are to be at
- 1:25:05Speaker 6: the reunion and talk about shit that happened in the
- 1:25:08Speaker 6: last four weeks what we saw on TV, but one
- 1:25:11Speaker 6: on one is different. Carlos is so right about that,
- 1:25:13Speaker 6: But unfortunately it got to happen on camera, right, But
- 1:25:16Speaker 6: I do I just wish Portia for her own benefit.
- 1:25:19Speaker 3: Yes, I'm gonna keep talking about it until she.
- 1:25:21Speaker 6: Changes her behavior. She's got to do better with that.
- 1:25:24Speaker 6: It's obvious she's not a girl's girl. She wasn't a
- 1:25:26Speaker 6: girl's a great friend to Shamiyah. She's she's no friend
- 1:25:29Speaker 6: to Angela and not a friend. She's not a one
- 1:25:33Speaker 6: to be trusted. If you can say that. I don't
- 1:25:35Speaker 6: fuck with girls like that.
- 1:25:36Speaker 3: I really don't.
- 1:25:36Speaker 6: I don't think that's cute. I don't, but I wish
- 1:25:39Speaker 6: she would for her own sake. Has nothing to do
- 1:25:41Speaker 6: with it. I wish she would for her own sake.
- 1:25:43Speaker 6: I hate to see a black woman go out there
- 1:25:44Speaker 6: like that, go out like that when it's it's just
- 1:25:47Speaker 6: not cute. It's not cute to do that. You know
- 1:25:49Speaker 6: what that feels like. You've been cheated on before, porschia,
- 1:25:51Speaker 6: you know what that feels like.
- 1:25:53Speaker 3: Every on, all of us do.
- 1:25:54Speaker 6: It's not cute to put that another one. It's not cute.
- 1:25:56Speaker 6: Stop doing us.
- 1:25:58Speaker 3: It's whack. Jezebel spirit exactly.
