0:04
Speaker 1: and everybody.
0:06
Speaker 2: You don't know if you don't lie about that, right Lauren, Hey, y'all,
0:09
Speaker 2: what's up.
0:10
Speaker 1: It's Laura de Rosa and this is the latest with
0:13
Speaker 1: Lauren de Rosa. Now, this is your Deli dig on
0:15
Speaker 1: all things pop culture, entertainment, news, and all of the
0:19
Speaker 1: conversations that shake the room. Baby. Now today we are
0:23
Speaker 1: getting on into some things. We're gonna get right on
0:27
Speaker 1: into the latest because we got a lot to talk about.
0:31
Speaker 1: We have some updates. So Tiffany Hattish and Jason Lee,
0:36
Speaker 1: Hollywood Unlocked founder, are not having a baby. I rushed
0:40
Speaker 1: to get that out into say that because I've been
0:43
Speaker 1: trying to figure this out for It's been weeks. So
0:48
Speaker 1: let me just back on up right. August fourth, Tiffany
0:53
Speaker 1: Hattish and Jason Lee posted these photos to their Instagram.
0:57
Speaker 1: It was a photo of Tiffany and Jason and a
1:00
Speaker 1: baby in Tiffany Hattish's hand, and of course all of
1:06
Speaker 1: us and Jason's there, They're smiling, Jason's holding a baby shouler.
1:11
Speaker 1: So we're all looking like, what is this giving right now?
1:15
Speaker 1: Like what is happening? Like did y'all go adopt a
1:19
Speaker 1: kid or have a Sarahgate have a kid. Not the
1:21
Speaker 1: only reason to be fair because Jason Lee is a
1:25
Speaker 1: very openly gay man, so for those who don't know
1:28
Speaker 1: him to be fair. The only reason why we even
1:31
Speaker 1: assume this is because a little minute ago, Jason Lee
1:35
Speaker 1: and Tiffany Hattish were having a conversation and they were
1:39
Speaker 1: talking about Tiffany Hattish wanting to have a baby and
1:41
Speaker 1: having the baby with Jason Lee. Let's take a listen
1:45
Speaker 1: to that.
1:46
Speaker 3: You said you would give me a kid. Are you
1:48
Speaker 3: serious about that?
1:50
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk to you about the cost of
1:52
Speaker 2: because I said I wanted to do it the old
1:54
Speaker 2: fashion where you said no, So I want to talk
1:57
Speaker 2: to you about.
1:57
Speaker 3: The cost so long, now we gotta do wait, I
2:03
Speaker 3: don't like that word.
2:04
Speaker 2: Okay, we gotta, we gotta, we gotta do the pound.
2:07
Speaker 3: Okay, wait, So here's the deals. And I had an
2:10
Speaker 3: agreement like back when I was nineteen, that we were
2:12
Speaker 3: vacating that world, and since then we've like, it's sort
2:16
Speaker 3: of like my my mother, we just packed up and left.
2:18
Speaker 3: It never came back, right, So that wasn't funny, right
2:22
Speaker 3: it is? So, hey, mom, but no, seriously, Yeah, after
2:27
Speaker 3: I walked away from Vagina, I just like it was
2:30
Speaker 3: like that STD's pain, sorrows, shooting, violent drugs, Like I
2:35
Speaker 3: don't want to be around none of that anymore. Yeah,
2:37
Speaker 3: but I still want a kid now.
2:38
Speaker 1: Ya could tell he's openly gave men, right, very openly
2:43
Speaker 1: gave men. Okay, a nothing swinging back over this way
2:46
Speaker 1: at all about Jason Lee. So when people when when
2:49
Speaker 1: the picture was posted, naturally people thought like, Okay, they
2:52
Speaker 1: did it. They either got a surrogate, they either adopted,
2:59
Speaker 1: because it's no way and I mean not a way
3:03
Speaker 1: in the devil's hell that Jason Lee put anything of
3:07
Speaker 1: his inside of her to make a baby. Also, too,
3:11
Speaker 1: we've been seeing Tiffany Hattish and she hasn't been pregnant,
3:14
Speaker 1: so that also was a thing. But yes, so this
3:18
Speaker 1: photo had everybody going. When I tell y'all, I literally
3:22
Speaker 1: had people texting me like Laura, what's up? And I'm like,
3:27
Speaker 1: what do you mean? Like everything cool? What do you
3:31
Speaker 1: mean it's Jason Lee pregnant? And I'm like, it's Jason
3:35
Speaker 1: Lee pregnant? You mean it's Tiffany Hattish? Did Tiffany Hattish
3:40
Speaker 1: have a baby? By Jason Lee. Yeah, what's going on?
3:43
Speaker 1: And then also too, we never talked about it, so
3:46
Speaker 1: I didn't talk about it here on the Latest with
3:48
Speaker 1: Lona Rosa. We didn't talk about it on the breakfast
3:50
Speaker 1: club we were going to one day, but I think
3:52
Speaker 1: we just didn't get to it. I text Jason when
3:55
Speaker 1: the photo dropped and I'm like, Yo, what's up, what's
3:59
Speaker 1: going on here? And I sent the photo. All he
4:03
Speaker 1: did was send me back a bottle and I'm like,
4:08
Speaker 1: what does that mean? He didn't say anything else. And
4:12
Speaker 1: then I was leaving Atlanta. I went and spoke at
4:15
Speaker 1: the Podcast Summer in Atlanta. Shout out to the Podcast
4:18
Speaker 1: Summer in Dshans for bringing me down. I had an
4:20
Speaker 1: amazing time. It was so up put together, but I
4:23
Speaker 1: was there. Jason Lee also spoke there as well too.
4:27
Speaker 1: And when we were leaving flying back to New York,
4:29
Speaker 1: Jason Lee was on my flight. We actually were like
4:31
Speaker 1: in the same row, so we just sat next to
4:34
Speaker 1: each other and I was asking him then, I'm like,
4:37
Speaker 1: what's going on. You're gonna tell me what's up or not?
4:40
Speaker 1: And He's like, I don't talk about kids. I don't
4:43
Speaker 1: discuss kids. Child Jason Lee and Tiffany Hattters was on
4:47
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel. They talked about kids and they are not
4:50
Speaker 1: having one, nor do they have one right now that
4:52
Speaker 1: we know of. Let's take a listen.
4:55
Speaker 2: What did you think of this whole baby Fiasca.
4:58
Speaker 1: I don't know.
4:58
Speaker 3: The whole world has lost their mind on this beautiful baby.
5:01
Speaker 2: We just took a picture with a baby and then
5:05
Speaker 2: and then that went crazy. So now we got a
5:07
Speaker 2: god baby, we do. Yeah, I went ahead and made
5:10
Speaker 2: it our god baby.
5:11
Speaker 3: Okay, great? You and daddy, oh thank you. This is
5:15
Speaker 3: the first time both of us being foster former foster
5:18
Speaker 3: kids that were actually selecting to choose a baby that
5:21
Speaker 3: wasn't ours. But that's why adoption is important.
5:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, adoption is important. It was very important, Jason. The
5:30
Speaker 2: offer still is on the table if you want to
5:32
Speaker 2: make a real baby together. Okay, we'll have a meet
5:36
Speaker 2: our baby. Yeah. You know, I'm traditional.
5:40
Speaker 3: And I'm still gay.
5:45
Speaker 1: Y'all not me in the whole word world thought they
5:49
Speaker 1: might have adopted a kid and it had us going, too, right,
5:53
Speaker 1: They really had us going. I do like the plug
5:56
Speaker 1: of you know, the whole like adoption thing, and you know,
5:58
Speaker 1: plugging adopting kids. My mom was a foster mom for
6:01
Speaker 1: about like ten or eleven years out of my life.
6:04
Speaker 1: So my God, I don't call them my foster brothers
6:06
Speaker 1: and sisters. I call them my god brothers and my
6:08
Speaker 1: god sisters, or just my sisters and my brothers. Depends
6:11
Speaker 1: on who I'm talking to. But some of them are
6:13
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast, hey, y'all. But a lot of
6:16
Speaker 1: them spent anywhere from like shoot three to four to
6:20
Speaker 1: maybe ten years with us, with me and my brother
6:23
Speaker 1: growing up in the same household as us, so and
6:26
Speaker 1: my mom always did everything she could to try and
6:29
Speaker 1: keep families together. So like if a foster kid came
6:32
Speaker 1: to our house and she found out that you had
6:33
Speaker 1: like a brother and a sister somewhere, she would request
6:36
Speaker 1: from the social workers that we find you know your
6:38
Speaker 1: other siblings and they get brought to our house. Things
6:40
Speaker 1: like that. Just because my mom used to always talk
6:43
Speaker 1: to me about just everything that children in the system
6:47
Speaker 1: were going through. And Jason Lee and Tiphany Hattish were
6:50
Speaker 1: both adopted, they talked a bit about that here and yeah,
6:55
Speaker 1: so just you know, them being able to use the moment,
6:58
Speaker 1: you know, in the attention to talk about the importance
7:01
Speaker 1: of adopting kids, and you know, raising foster children, and
7:05
Speaker 1: you know all those things. Don't little spent on that.
7:09
Speaker 1: But Jason Lee, Tiffany Hattish, y'all have me going, Okay,
7:13
Speaker 1: I really thought I was sitting next to a faba.
7:16
Speaker 1: We'll be sitting on that plane now. In other news,
7:21
Speaker 1: up next on the latest TS Madison. So, TS Madison
7:25
Speaker 1: sat down on her podcast, Outlaws with TS Madison with
7:28
Speaker 1: Monique and Monique and TS Madison talked about a lot men.
7:33
Speaker 1: They talked about a lot. I enjoyed the conversation from
7:35
Speaker 1: start to finish. It was about an hour long conversation.
7:38
Speaker 1: They got into the Monique and Tyler Perry things and
7:41
Speaker 1: we talked about that a bit on the Breakfast Club
7:43
Speaker 1: this morning, but they also got into Monique and everything
7:48
Speaker 1: that was happening with Monique's son and an update there
7:52
Speaker 1: where they are. Now, let's take a lesson to Monique.
7:54
Speaker 4: Well, people shout as loud when they find out we're healing.
7:59
Speaker 4: No people do the shows about Monique and her son
8:02
Speaker 4: when they found out we've been talking, Will people now
8:05
Speaker 4: shout and say, oh my god? Because we thrive on
8:08
Speaker 4: what we believe to be negative. When it comes to
8:11
Speaker 4: my son, that's mine. Yep, that is mine all day long.
8:16
Speaker 4: That is my child. So whatever we go through, that's mine,
8:21
Speaker 4: that's mine. What I will say is I let my
8:23
Speaker 4: ego get in the way. I will say that publicly.
8:27
Speaker 4: And I had to take that down because I had
8:30
Speaker 4: to say, Monique, that is yours baby. He's thirty four
8:34
Speaker 4: years old, you're fifty seven. You know, better take it down.
8:40
Speaker 4: So for all the ones asking you about me and
8:42
Speaker 4: my son, we're healing and I'm grateful and I prayed
8:47
Speaker 4: for that healing. Please bring them back to me.
8:50
Speaker 1: Oh now, this was big for me to hear because
8:55
Speaker 1: Monique is not a person to I wouldn't say Monique
8:59
Speaker 1: is not a person to a man when she's wrong,
9:00
Speaker 1: I would not say that. But to hear her say
9:06
Speaker 1: it was my ego. I think it's hard for anybody,
9:10
Speaker 1: whether you're Monique or not, to admit when you may
9:14
Speaker 1: have added to the problem or you were a part
9:16
Speaker 1: of the problem. But to hear her say what she said,
9:19
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, because a lot of people try and
9:22
Speaker 1: make it seem like Monique is this person who just
9:26
Speaker 1: loves a problem and loves the drama. Because when she
9:29
Speaker 1: does speak about things she's been through, whether it's been
9:32
Speaker 1: with Oprah, and she talked about that, Let's take a listen, Oprah.
9:35
Speaker 4: I'm not going anywhere until y'all take accountability and fix it.
9:40
Speaker 4: Y'all messed with my livelihood, which messes with my family.
9:44
Speaker 4: Never would I do that to anyone.
9:46
Speaker 1: Or the Tyler Perry incident. She talked about that, Let's
9:50
Speaker 1: take a listen.
9:51
Speaker 4: One of the biggest entertainers in the world is Tyler Perry,
9:54
Speaker 4: and Tyler Perry told a lie on me, and that
9:57
Speaker 4: lie costs me twelve years of my career twelve And
10:02
Speaker 4: I know that you work for that man. But as
10:04
Speaker 4: I told you before, and I'm gonna say it again,
10:06
Speaker 4: until he fixes it, I will not stop because that's
10:10
Speaker 4: how the monster is created. We're too afraid, what too scared,
10:14
Speaker 4: We're too fearful that you're gonna take something from me.
10:17
Speaker 4: So I'm just not gonna say anything. Harvey Weinstein is
10:19
Speaker 4: where he's in jail now. That's been going on for decades,
10:23
Speaker 4: but everybody said let it go, don't say nothing, which
10:27
Speaker 4: allowed that man to do more damage to women over
10:30
Speaker 4: the decades. I as long as I can help it.
10:33
Speaker 4: I'm saying, Tyler, her, you will not do this to
10:35
Speaker 4: another as long as I can help it, because you
10:38
Speaker 4: told a lie and you feel like you have the
10:41
Speaker 4: God complex. So I ain't gotta fix it. Either you'll
10:44
Speaker 4: fix it in life or you'll be dealt with in death.
10:48
Speaker 4: It's totally up to you. But I'm not going nowhere.
10:51
Speaker 1: Or anything dealer with her. Me and her me and
10:54
Speaker 1: her me and her man. Do not play with her daddy. Okay,
10:57
Speaker 1: her daddy that I'm referring to is her who she's
11:01
Speaker 1: been married to for years and years and years at
11:03
Speaker 1: this point. But I found out on this podcast that
11:06
Speaker 1: Monique and her husband were actually friends. There were roommates. First,
11:11
Speaker 1: crazy story, let's take a listen to that.
11:13
Speaker 4: If you knock on my door, I'm gonna let you in.
11:18
Speaker 4: She knocked on my door because she did an interview,
11:21
Speaker 4: and we're talking about our sister Tiffany had it. She
11:23
Speaker 4: did an interview with GQ magazine, and some kind of way,
11:26
Speaker 4: the conversation got to Monique and she said, I don't
11:30
Speaker 4: have that husband.
11:30
Speaker 1: Of hers like she got.
11:32
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, sister, you rung the bell, you said
11:36
Speaker 4: ding dong, And I say, come on, in and get
11:38
Speaker 4: this pound. Okay, let's talk about it. Come on here
11:40
Speaker 4: and get a slice of it. And I didn't say
11:42
Speaker 4: it to be cruel. I said it to be factual.
11:45
Speaker 4: When you have somebody loving you, you're not gonna get
11:48
Speaker 4: DUIs because that man is loving you. I was gonna say, hey,
11:51
Speaker 4: you've had too much. You're not driving. That man is
11:54
Speaker 4: loving you. Was going to say, who whoa whoa wa,
11:56
Speaker 4: what kind of videos are you making that looks like
11:58
Speaker 4: you could appear to be grooming the child. It is
12:01
Speaker 4: things that when you are being loved, you get pulled
12:04
Speaker 4: back from all of the foolishness, You get pulled back
12:06
Speaker 4: from all of the the superstarter I'm gonna start. You
12:10
Speaker 4: get pulled back from that because you're enjoying being loved.
12:14
Speaker 4: So whyever would you put yourself in a position to
12:16
Speaker 4: sacrifice your life.
12:18
Speaker 1: So whenever moniquets talking about these things, people love to
12:20
Speaker 1: make it seem like she's this like negative Nancy, this
12:25
Speaker 1: drama queen, this oh my god. But to hear her
12:29
Speaker 1: take accountability in that moment, it's I mean, it's her son, right.
12:32
Speaker 1: So I think that's a different level of conversation when
12:36
Speaker 1: you're talking about your own child. But what was going
12:39
Speaker 1: down with Monique and her son did play out publicly.
12:42
Speaker 1: So to hear her take that accountability publicly, I thought
12:46
Speaker 1: was a really big deal. But I mean, that's all
12:48
Speaker 1: she's been asking for, you know, after legend and things
12:51
Speaker 1: that she alleged about all the people we just mentioned,
12:53
Speaker 1: like an Oprah or Tyler Perry from the beginning. So
12:56
Speaker 1: to see her do it, I was like, I like that.
13:00
Speaker 1: I like this Monique, like you know, when she was
13:02
Speaker 1: talking about her son, Like this Monique right here, that
13:04
Speaker 1: is the mom that is protective, that is about her
13:07
Speaker 1: family and her bit and her sweet babies and all
13:09
Speaker 1: her sweet babies. This is what I like right here,
13:12
Speaker 1: because typically I think the conversation with her is always
13:16
Speaker 1: about what's done to her and not that. I mean,
13:21
Speaker 1: I don't know all of the ins and outs of
13:23
Speaker 1: the situation with her son, so I don't know what
13:26
Speaker 1: was done to who in that situation. But you know,
13:28
Speaker 1: just to hear somebody take accountability, it's just it's a
13:32
Speaker 1: good thing to hear witness. And I think that the
13:34
Speaker 1: reason why I say that is because it represents a
13:36
Speaker 1: really good a really good place of like peace or
13:41
Speaker 1: healing like when you are good in a situation, you're
13:43
Speaker 1: able to look back and say, Okay, here's how I
13:46
Speaker 1: might have contributed to that situation. Let's not gonna send
13:56
Speaker 1: a Monique's issue with her son Shaloon, because back in
13:59
Speaker 1: February twenty twenty four, Monique sat down with Shanna Sharp
14:02
Speaker 1: on Club Chase Shay and talked about their relationship and
14:06
Speaker 1: that was the down spiral of the things.
14:08
Speaker 5: Let's take a listen my oldest son, Shelan, and this
14:14
Speaker 5: is what I want to say to this. There's some
14:17
Speaker 5: people that are saying, oh, you should be ashamed of
14:19
Speaker 5: your mothering skills, you should be ashamed of yourself. This
14:23
Speaker 5: is what I'll say. Let's let it play out because
14:27
Speaker 5: the same ones that said to me, I was crazy,
14:30
Speaker 5: I was deranged, we watched it play out. So just
14:34
Speaker 5: like with my son, we'll watch this play out. And
14:39
Speaker 5: I do want to address this though. Shealan, When you
14:43
Speaker 5: say her daddy, her daddy, then that's what mommy gonna say,
14:46
Speaker 5: stop playing, because you know this has been Uncle said
14:49
Speaker 5: your whole life. Uncle said knew you before you knew you.
14:53
Speaker 5: So for you to say her three sons, yes, you're
14:56
Speaker 5: absolutely right. He has three sons. He can't claim you
15:00
Speaker 5: as his son because he's always been uncle Sid and
15:03
Speaker 5: he knows.
15:03
Speaker 6: Your daddy very well and loved that brother. And the
15:09
Speaker 6: irony of all of this is you're not expressing the
15:13
Speaker 6: relationship that you have with your father where you spoke
15:19
Speaker 6: ill to him, not to mention spoke ill to your mother.
15:23
Speaker 6: But somehow your mother and father and I all have
15:28
Speaker 6: a loving relationship and communicate back and forth because of
15:32
Speaker 6: the love that we.
15:33
Speaker 7: Have for you.
15:35
Speaker 1: Now, after this, her son got online and responded, and
15:38
Speaker 1: his take on the situation was completely different.
15:41
Speaker 7: To address the clips to Shit interview that she did,
15:44
Speaker 7: where she states and she prays to the universe in
15:46
Speaker 7: regards to reconciling our relationship, as I stated, is odd.
15:52
Speaker 7: My mother and I both know that that is a
15:54
Speaker 7: very false narrative, and I would like to free her
15:57
Speaker 7: of having to continue telling that lie. Faith without work
16:01
Speaker 7: is dead, and neither one of us cares to put
16:03
Speaker 7: forth any effort to reconcile with the other. We are separate,
16:07
Speaker 7: as she put it, because she doesn't care to be
16:10
Speaker 7: my mother any more than I care to be her son.
16:13
Speaker 7: Neither one of us has had the desire to reach
16:16
Speaker 7: out to the other in a very long time, and
16:19
Speaker 7: I don't think that either of us anticipates that feeling. Ever.
16:21
Speaker 7: Returning speaking with my mother directly, in my experience, will
16:25
Speaker 7: either lead to some odd newfound moment of clarity in
16:29
Speaker 7: regards to how she was as my mother, or she
16:32
Speaker 7: retreats back to Daddy to move forward with a conversation.
16:35
Speaker 7: And I'm tired of hearing my mother's truths. Newsflash. I'm
16:40
Speaker 7: not sure if people know, but standing in your truth
16:43
Speaker 7: doesn't make you noble. I'm not sure if people are
16:47
Speaker 7: aware of that. But responding this way, I feel as
16:51
Speaker 7: though it allows me to say my peace uninterrupted.
16:55
Speaker 1: Now, following all of this, there was a photo that
16:58
Speaker 1: was posted to with Monique and her son and it
17:01
Speaker 1: talked about them reconciling finally and being able to begin
17:05
Speaker 1: conversations with healing and figuring it out. And again, I
17:09
Speaker 1: think seeing that photo, knowing this background and hear Monique
17:14
Speaker 1: tell ts Madison her ego was in the way she
17:18
Speaker 1: can be accountable for that, she had to think, Okay,
17:20
Speaker 1: this is my child, I am the adult here, and
17:23
Speaker 1: she pulled herself up by the bootstrap and figured it
17:26
Speaker 1: out in a way where they will where they're now
17:28
Speaker 1: able to be at a peaceful place. It's just a
17:32
Speaker 1: good thing to see. I think, you know, it's always
17:36
Speaker 1: tough with women and family, and I kind of wish
17:40
Speaker 1: that ts Madison had dived more into this when Monique
17:44
Speaker 1: was talking about her son, because I've heard Monique talk
17:47
Speaker 1: about the situation a lot of Monique, we would love
17:48
Speaker 1: to hear have you here on the Bronco Grinding production
17:51
Speaker 1: of The Latest with Lauren de Rosa if you ever
17:54
Speaker 1: listen to the podcast. If you listen, let me know
17:57
Speaker 1: we would love to have you here because what I
17:59
Speaker 1: would love to talk to you about. We don't got
18:00
Speaker 1: to get into Tyler Perry again. We don't gotta talk
18:03
Speaker 1: about Oprah again. I would love to talk to you
18:05
Speaker 1: about when you were figuring out that balance. And I
18:09
Speaker 1: know you talked a bit about this on Club Chase Shape,
18:10
Speaker 1: but I think the conversation would be different with the woman,
18:13
Speaker 1: and I think I'll be interested in having the conversation
18:15
Speaker 1: because as a woman that is trying to figure out
18:18
Speaker 1: when do I have kids, When I have them, how
18:21
Speaker 1: do I balance career? My career requires me. I feel
18:25
Speaker 1: absent as a daughter and a green daughter right now,
18:28
Speaker 1: and I'm like laughing about it, but like I literally
18:31
Speaker 1: it has caused me, in some instances so much anxiety
18:35
Speaker 1: and so much stress is trying to figure everything out
18:38
Speaker 1: as things are moving and grooving and you know, now
18:41
Speaker 1: I'm in the flow of things, like we got the podcast,
18:43
Speaker 1: we got the studio, we know the daily time, I
18:46
Speaker 1: know the time for breakfast club, like all of this stuff.
18:48
Speaker 1: Though it's like everything is moving, not even was. It's
18:52
Speaker 1: moving so fast and things are so new that I'm
18:55
Speaker 1: used to being able to dedicate a certain amount of
18:57
Speaker 1: time to family, being able to pick up the phone
18:59
Speaker 1: a certain amount of times, and I can't do that
19:01
Speaker 1: all the time. And the other day my mom literally
19:04
Speaker 1: asks me. And it's probably even worse when it's your child,
19:08
Speaker 1: but my mom asked me the other day, you don't
19:10
Speaker 1: love me no more? And she was so serious. She
19:12
Speaker 1: was like, you don't love me no more? And I'm like,
19:13
Speaker 1: what do you mean? She was like, we are best
19:15
Speaker 1: friends and you don't even call me sometimes, just say
19:18
Speaker 1: good morning the same way that you were doing prior
19:21
Speaker 1: to all this you know stuff, And I'm like, dang,
19:24
Speaker 1: I had to think about it. Like it's because like
19:27
Speaker 1: once I'm up. I'm going, I get up. We at
19:29
Speaker 1: the breakfast club. We leave the breakfast club, I head
19:32
Speaker 1: her to the podcast. I get home from the podcast,
19:35
Speaker 1: I might take an hour to myself just to not talk,
19:37
Speaker 1: and then I'll call my mom and just kind of
19:38
Speaker 1: download her day. But you know, hearing from me in
19:41
Speaker 1: the morning starts her day, and we're really close. Same
19:44
Speaker 1: thing with my grandmother, and she's been complaining about that too.
19:47
Speaker 1: So when I'm listening to you know, Monique talk about
19:51
Speaker 1: being accountable for things and ego being in the way
19:54
Speaker 1: and finding a pa a place of peace and healing.
19:57
Speaker 1: All these years later, my first it was I would
20:01
Speaker 1: love to hear, just even mentally, what you're dealing with
20:05
Speaker 1: as a mom who is building career. Career is moving
20:09
Speaker 1: so fast, Monique, Because come on, y'all, y'all can play
20:11
Speaker 1: with Monique all y'all want and disagree with her when
20:14
Speaker 1: it comes to, you know, what she's going through with
20:17
Speaker 1: other people in the industry currently. Like you know, I
20:19
Speaker 1: don't agree with everything she says. I don't agree with
20:21
Speaker 1: everything she does. But one of the things that I've
20:24
Speaker 1: always said is that Monique is an icon. Monique is
20:27
Speaker 1: a legend. Her career is and was super big, right,
20:33
Speaker 1: and think about at the height of it having a
20:36
Speaker 1: child and trying to figure out the balance of the things.
20:39
Speaker 1: And you know her her career is also very physical
20:42
Speaker 1: where she has to show up. She's an actress. You know,
20:46
Speaker 1: she was hosting a TV show, y'all. Remember the y'all
20:48
Speaker 1: Remember the Monique show. She was hosting a TV show.
20:50
Speaker 1: I believe that was on Bet. She's on the road
20:53
Speaker 1: touring as a comedian. All three of these things happen
20:57
Speaker 1: and y'all, and they're all at a height, and it's
21:00
Speaker 1: I think, now we have so many more resources, like
21:03
Speaker 1: we got the nannies and the nanny services and just
21:07
Speaker 1: so many different things, even like people talking about mental
21:10
Speaker 1: health now, I think puts you in a different space
21:13
Speaker 1: as a parent who's trying to juggle things and knowing
21:16
Speaker 1: like I need to take time for myself, or I
21:18
Speaker 1: need to devote more time for my family, or I
21:21
Speaker 1: need to find a better balance because you know, mentally,
21:23
Speaker 1: this might be putting my child in a certain space
21:26
Speaker 1: as well. Things are just different now. Would love to
21:29
Speaker 1: talk to her just about what that journey was like,
21:31
Speaker 1: because she was in a very different time, things are
21:35
Speaker 1: moving very fast for her, and they were up. It
21:39
Speaker 1: was the peak of everything, while also dealing with her
21:42
Speaker 1: own battles and struggles. You know, she talked about being
21:45
Speaker 1: overweight on the podcast on with T. S. Madison and
21:49
Speaker 1: how it affected her, and you know how she almost
21:53
Speaker 1: she didn't even know at some points, you know, what
21:56
Speaker 1: her weight was doing to her, and she said this herself,
21:59
Speaker 1: just how things were perceived. She talked about watching the
22:04
Speaker 1: Parkers and being like, oh wow, no one told me.
22:08
Speaker 1: She talked about meeting an agent and the agent saying
22:11
Speaker 1: to her, because of your size, you can't be sexy
22:14
Speaker 1: and fun, You'll always be the fun, fat friend who
22:19
Speaker 1: plays second fiddle to someone. So you're dealing with all
22:22
Speaker 1: this new you know, you have, you have a child,
22:25
Speaker 1: you're raising, just all the things trying to figure out,
22:28
Speaker 1: like trying to figure would love to have that conversation there.
22:31
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever heard her in depth talk
22:34
Speaker 1: about that. I know she did get into it a
22:36
Speaker 1: bit on Club Sha Shay, and she's touched on it
22:38
Speaker 1: a bit, but I mean in depth in a way
22:40
Speaker 1: where we could really understand and honestly learn from that
22:45
Speaker 1: part of her journey now, at the end of the day,
22:48
Speaker 1: there's always a lot to talk about, and every single
22:50
Speaker 1: time you guys join me right here to talk about it,
22:52
Speaker 1: I am so appreciative. Ah, we're on the road to
22:57
Speaker 1: a hundred episodes, y'all. I'm like, let's send twenty four
23:00
