  Speaker 1: Reality with the King is hosted by me, Carlos King.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I'm an executive producer who have produced some of your
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: favorite shows from the Real Housewives of Atlanta, New Jersey,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and my own creation, the Love and Marriage franchise and
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Bell Collective. Every episode, we recap reality television from the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Real Housewives franchise to The Bachelor or Selling Sunset. in
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: addition to celebrity guests, whether in the unscripted space or
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: scripted as well.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Friend to the show, T.S.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Madison was on her podcast Outlaws with T.S.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Madison.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: She had Candace Diller Bassett, friend to the show from
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Potomac Housewives.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: And a lot of people took T.S.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Madison's commentary and y'all ran with it. So I want
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: to be very clear to what she said and what
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: she didn't say. So long story short, T.S. Madison, they
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: were talking about Housewives and T.S. Madison said she thinks
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: what Real Housewives of Atlanta is missing is her.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: She thinks what.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: The Real Housewives of Atlanta is missing is her.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: She did not make this, because a lot of y'all said, oh,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: is she saying that what's missing is a transgender woman?
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: She said what's missing is T.S. Madison missing. her, right?
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Law Roach, stylist to the stars.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: He also mentioned that he wants to be on Atlanta
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Housewives 2 Child. His dream is to have a peach too, honey.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: So I wanted to have a conversation about this. Starting
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: with you, Dustin. Atlanta Housewives is back. I'm loving this
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: new cast. I think they're great.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: T.S.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Madison's a friend to my. Happy Libra birthday, T.S.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Madison.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: But Dustin, Do you think what's missing from the Real
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Housewives of Atlanta is T.S.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Madison and Law Roach?
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Here's what I think. I think that when it comes
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: to entertainment value, having a personality that is interesting, being
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: able to be comedic off the dome, you know, these
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: are things that contribute to entertainment value, which is why T.S.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Madison has already executive produced her own reality series on
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: WeTV called executive produced her own talk show on Fox Soul,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: and she'll continue to do many, many more things. So
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: if the question is, would T.S. Madison add to the
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: already existing entertainment value of the Real Housewives of Atlanta?
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Of course she would. She would add value to anything
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: that she participates in or contributes to because she's a
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: great fucking television personality. She's a talented host. She's a
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: great writer.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: She's funny.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: So she adds value to anything that she participates in.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: What I'm not going to do is get into a
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: debate with these people who are low vibrational and only
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: want to focus on her being a transgender woman and
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: really want to have that conversation of whether or not
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: a transgender woman would fit into an ensemble cast like
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: the Real Housewives of Atlanta, because that's a different conversation
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: that I'm not a part of. But do I think
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: that T.S. Madison would add value to anything that she
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: contributes to?
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: And I love T.S.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Madison.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: So that's that. Law Roach has a polarizing personality. So
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I love seeing him infiltrate many different spaces. He's an
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: incredible style architect, according to his own words. He's been
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: a hell of a judge. He's got people watching Project
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Runway that never watched it before. So he's incredible over there.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: And he's another polarizing television personality. Don't necessarily think the
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Real Housewives of Atlanta is the right place for him.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: But hey, putting him on television and letting people see him,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I think is a great idea. So those are my thoughts.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Shout out to TS motherfucking Madison.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Blue to Luzma.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: I think it's very odd and hypocritical that people who
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: watch a show called Real Housewives of Atlanta are going
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: to say things like, well, she's not a biological woman.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: And so she.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: Can't be a housewife. A lot of y'all faves are
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: not housewives either. If we can have a show called
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: Real Housewives of Atlanta with only two housewives, why can't
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: we have a trans woman? I'm going to say it.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: I don't mind.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: What is more Atlanta than having the Liga Biga Tiga
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: community represented? Have y'all been to Atlanta? Can we be honest?
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: T.S.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: Madison, I think, would be an exceptional addition as a housewife.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: And honestly, and Carlos, this is something I mentioned to
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: you a couple years ago. I do believe there was
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: a time in Atlanta's history, the Real Housewives franchise, where queer...
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: people were used as accessories, what better way to come
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: full circle than to center one? Y'all didn't mind the
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: Miss J's or whatever, like, you didn't mind having a
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: queer person as a sidekick, but now that a queer
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: person wants to be centered, right, and I'm using queer
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: as in the margins, right, not mainstream, now somebody under
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: the rainbow wants to be centered and it's a problem,
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: but when they want to hold somebody's purse or style them,
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: you think that's cute.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: No, I think because of the.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: Long history Atlanta's had with the queer community, centering someone
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: from that same community particularly someone who is so beloved
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: in that area makes perfect sense. I don't need to
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: mince my words. I think she's as good as a
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: housewife as any. And also can we be very, very honest?
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: I think there's a healing opportunity to have her on
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: because she's not apologetic about the space that she takes up.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: Not all gay people are created the same. Not all
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: black people are created the same. I think as far
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: as trans representation is, I think she's so comfortable in
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: her skin and she's so successful. There's a way that
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: she could do it where she, I think, has the
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: right thick skin for it. Because there's nothing worse than
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: having someone come on and having a big personality and
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: they shrink, right? We spent half the season, well, 17
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: out of 19 episodes talking about how K. Michelle disappointed
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: us because she wasn't big.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: T.S.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: Madison would be the perfect response to all of that.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: So I'm here for it, trans or otherwise. She didn't
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: say trans, I'm saying trans.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: I'm here for it.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Claudia? So they had, again.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: T.S. Madison did not say because she's trans, was not
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: leading with that. And I appreciate that for her to
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: just say it's based on my personality. I don't need
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: to mention that. And I love that. I don't think
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: we should be leading with that. I think we should
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: lead with who we are as people, as talents. I
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: think people got to stop thinking I should get that
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: job because I'm trans or I should get this job
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: because I'm gay or I should get that job because
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: I'm straight. You should get the job because you're good
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: at it and you're good for it. And that's that.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: I disagree about her being on the show only because
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: of this. Would she be an asset anyway? She goes,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: hell yeah. Highly entertaining. Doesn't need an ensemble cast. Tia
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Madison needs her own show because she's that big of
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: a personality and everybody around her in her world. I
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: think that's a better fit for Tia Madison. And this
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: is another reason. As someone that used to talk to
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Tia Madison an awful lot, Tia Madison is very private
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: with her personal life now. We never hear about anyone
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: she's dating. And I think that show would be terrible
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: for her in that regard. because that show was all
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: about exposing and all that kind of stuff. And I
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: would not want to see that for T.S. Madison, unless
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: she wanted that, unless she wanted that. Cause when you
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: go on there, here goes everybody hiring private, they'd be
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: hiring private investigators and try to get a little drop
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: the mic moment on you. And I would hate to
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: see that get ugly. But as far as T.S. Madison,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: there is no doubt in my mind that any show
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: that T.S. Madison is on is going to bring it
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: and going to bring numbers because the fan base is there.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: But yeah.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Um, I mean, I know I'm a fan of Tia's Mask.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: I think Tia's Mask is highly entertaining.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, she is. And Blue brought up a good point.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: So I started my career in reality television, as you
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: all know, doing Atlanta Housewives in 2008. And I was
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: living in New York City at the time, specifically Brownsville,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Sutter at Rutland Road train station stop. Okay.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Okay. Okay.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: You've come a long way, baby.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I've come a long way. God is good, baby. All
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: my blessings come from the Lord. He saved me.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I broke the lease because a few West Indian men
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: was throwing glass bottles in my direction and I didn't
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: understand what that meant.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: But hey, that's my... It's okay. They're watching me on TV.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I ain't tripping. But my boy... Amen.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Today you got that arm. These days you got that
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: arm on you so you throw that motherfucking bag and connect.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, no. I'm new to New York City. I'm walking
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: down the street.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: And listen, I appreciate them throwing the glass bottle over
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: my head versus on top of it.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: So they have a good aim. So, you know, we, I, hey,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I'm grateful for the small blessings. Okay.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Anywho, so I leave New York City to go to Atlanta.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I've never been to Atlanta. This is 2008. And funny story,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the first person I met was obviously Nene, as I
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: was her producer. And that week, guys, Sharae had her
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: birthday party. And we had to film Sharae getting ready
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: for it. And I met Miss Lawrence. Mind you, in
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: New York City in 2008, Miss Lawrence was not in
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: New York City at all.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: At all.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: So my first introduction, and I remember thinking to myself,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: as a gay man, like.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Like I was, I was so, I, I, I've never
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: met anyone like him. And that was my first introduction
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: in terms of like, Oh, okay. This is somebody that
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: is comfortable in his own skin. By the way, his
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: pronouns is he, him from my understanding, because he was
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: my podcast. But anyways, my point is, um, I was
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: introduced to that world courtesy of being in Atlanta and,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: So when it comes to Atlanta, Blue makes a good
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: point in the sense of Atlanta is one of the,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: if not the first city that represented the education lgbtqia
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: plus community in terms of of that era and then
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: when i moved to atlanta oh honey Alana back in
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the day, baby was, was lit nowadays.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, the gay scene, the gay scene, the gay
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: scene anyways.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: So the idea of, I never thought about it until
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: blue said this every, and this is me only as
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: a producer. When we would cast for Alana, New Jersey,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: et cetera, you wanted somebody to represent that city, right?
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: That was the only thing Bravo cared about. Like, do
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: this person represent the city first? And secondly, are they
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: organically connected to somebody? And I never thought about it
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: until now because I was reading some comments and there
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: are black women. I know some black women don't like
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: being called this. I'm only saying this for the wide
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: audience we have. But cisgendered black women, there were some
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: in the comments who did say that Look, this show
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: is about us. This is about women. And as a producer,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I said, okay, I understand because I'm not here to tell.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: A black woman how she should feel. I understood that. Tonight,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Blue sang....
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: T.S.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Madison represents Atlanta.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: And I I'm now looking at that, too, like, wow,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: that that that's a great angle of introducing somebody to Atlanta.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: My personal opinion when it comes to T.S.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Madison, who's my was one of my good friends, is
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: what all of you guys are saying. You can't deny
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: that woman's good television. And I'm like, I'm like all
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you guys, if that what T.S. wants to do, T.S.,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I know the people over there call me. I will
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: hook you up with the producers if that's what she
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: wants to do. But I like Claudia said she mentioned
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: this is what she wanted and I think she'll be
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: great at it. When it comes to Law Roach, the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: thing with Law Roach to me, because I watch him,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I never know if he's joking or being serious. That's
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: part of it. That's a part of his charm. I
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: don't know. The whole Zendaya, is she married, is she not?
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I still don't know if he was
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: being serious or joking. When it comes to Law Roach.
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: He's not wearing a wig. What lace?
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Baby, Law Roach on Project Runway, chef's kiss. Fantastic.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: So I like him on Project Romantic Child. But again,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it was being serious or joking.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: I also feel like, I think Kalani had made a
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: great point.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: T.S.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Madison and LaRouche are both standout solo superstar personalities, right?
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: That may be too large for an ensemble cast. And
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: If that's the case and there's other opportunities for them,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: I also think that the Real Housewives of Atlanta cast
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: is in a great place right now. And I don't
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: think they really need to do anything, which is why
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: everybody came back for this new season. So, you know,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: I think that shows.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: What's their idea, Dustin?
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I'm curious.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: What's their idea?
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: T.S.
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: Brought this up, so she might be thinking, I don't
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: mind y'all seeing my fine-ass man that I've been hiding
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: all this time.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: I'm ready.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: It was her idea, and so it being her idea
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: makes me think, maybe she is evolving on her views
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: about being on an ensemble.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Hey, and if so, do it.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Do it.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Let us know in the comments what you guys think.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: You guys are all Atlanta Housewives fans. Let us know
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: if you would like to see T.S. Madison and or
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Law Roach as part of the cast. Dustin dropped some
