- 5:09Speaker 1: ain't gonna his podcast.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Yes, because I think listen, everyone knows that you and

- 5:20Speaker 1: I want you to know, Yes, I want this interview
- 5:24Speaker 1: on some real ship. Yeah, okay, I want this to
- 5:26Speaker 1: be you mean.
- 5:27Speaker 4: This conversation exactly. Let's just be real. We're just gonna
- 5:31Speaker 4: have a.
- 5:31Speaker 5: Conversation, like we got to catch up, you know what
- 5:34Speaker 5: I'm saying. And to be honest with you, I know
- 5:36Speaker 5: people are saying, like, oh, she probably don't want to
- 5:38Speaker 5: do the interview. No, Like I don't necessarily like interviews,
- 5:43Speaker 5: you know what I mean. Like you already know I'm
- 5:45Speaker 5: misunderstood a lot of times, So I do interviews when
- 5:48Speaker 5: I have to do interviews, and you know, sit downs
- 5:51Speaker 5: like this can be a lot.
- 5:53Speaker 4: But I'm like, you know what, I trust you and
- 5:55Speaker 4: I want to have more of a conversation.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Good.
- 5:58Speaker 4: Yeah, So that's that's what this is.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Well, that's what this is. Because the thing is this,
- 6:02Speaker 1: I've known you for over ten years.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Did you ever think in a million years that the
- 6:09Speaker 2: girl who started season five would become the face of
- 6:16Speaker 2: season seventeen? And you are literally and this is not
- 6:19Speaker 2: me blowing smoke up your ass, and I hope you
- 6:22Speaker 2: receive it if you if you haven't, you have become
- 6:26Speaker 2: the face of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. And what
- 6:30Speaker 2: was so interesting about that is when we were together,
- 6:34Speaker 2: I will always say to you, I believe in you.
- 6:36Speaker 1: I think you're everything. You are the little engine that could.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Did you see yourself being this woman who would be
- 6:44Speaker 2: front facing season seventeen twelve years later?
- 6:48Speaker 4: One second, I gotta move this knee. I'm over forty,
- 6:51Speaker 4: you know, I'm trying. I'm trying to what it by
- 6:54Speaker 4: this year and I got the wrong meeting.
- 6:56Speaker 5: Okay, If I wait the whole interview to been as straight,
- 7:00Speaker 5: we're gonna have a problem.
- 7:01Speaker 4: So let me just strain it out right now.
- 7:04Speaker 5: Ye let me do what I gotta do for me, Okay,
- 7:06Speaker 5: because we could be premento pause and these joints are
- 7:08Speaker 5: scream me okay, reset, okay here and there's my corn
- 7:13Speaker 5: showing God down. It's a lot to worry about at
- 7:15Speaker 5: this age. But okay, back to what you're saying. Did
- 7:21Speaker 5: I know back then that I would be in this place.
- 7:26Speaker 5: I knew that I would be. I knew that I
- 7:29Speaker 5: was bigger than my circumstance. I knew that back then.
- 7:33Speaker 5: As hard as it was being on the show, being
- 7:35Speaker 5: a loaner on the show, I don't think people really
- 7:37Speaker 5: understand I was a loaner for the majority of time.
- 7:40Speaker 5: Like I didn't take part or nobody asked me to
- 7:42Speaker 5: be a part of any type of alliance or any
- 7:45Speaker 5: of that. So I called myself kind of a floater.
- 7:48Speaker 5: I was kind of friends with everyone or or none,
- 7:51Speaker 5: you know what I mean. And you know, I went
- 7:54Speaker 5: through my life and I opened up for the cameras
- 7:57Speaker 5: just naturally, you know what I mean, just because at
- 8:00Speaker 5: some point you realize this is meant for me, this
- 8:02Speaker 5: is what I'm gonna do. So I didn't know exactly
- 8:05Speaker 5: where it would take me. And now, yes, I appreciate
- 8:08Speaker 5: the accolades. Yes I appreciate being you know, one of
- 8:12Speaker 5: the more known people on the show. I don't know
- 8:15Speaker 5: if I knew that that's really wasn't what I was
- 8:18Speaker 5: ever seeking. I just knew I would be successful.
- 8:20Speaker 4: I think that's it.
- 8:22Speaker 5: Because I never would have foreseen Nan not being here.
- 8:26Speaker 5: I never would have foreseen kingynot being here, Candy, I
- 8:31Speaker 5: never would have foreseen it because we were such a sisterhood,
- 8:34Speaker 5: such a family, and outside of a family, we were
- 8:37Speaker 5: the business of Bravo, and I just knew that we
- 8:40Speaker 5: would always be doing this together. And you don't really
- 8:42Speaker 5: see it into it, you know what I mean. If
- 8:44Speaker 5: we owned it, it was our house. So I would
- 8:48Speaker 5: just hope, like now, I'm a good keeper of the
- 8:50Speaker 5: house that one day they may come back to and
- 8:54Speaker 5: even if they don't, I'm a good keeper of it.
- 8:56Speaker 4: I'm gonna hold it down like you. I'm a part
- 8:58Speaker 4: of the fucking foundation.
- 9:00Speaker 1: No, you are a little fight that. Let me ask
- 9:02Speaker 1: you this.
- 9:03Speaker 2: When season sixteen started, Yeah, you and Kenya were the
- 9:08Speaker 2: vets that came back to sort of resurrect this soft reboots. Yeah,
- 9:13Speaker 2: when Kenya got suspended from the show, Yeah, didn't make
- 9:18Speaker 2: you nervous in terms.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Of I have to carry this now on my own.
- 9:26Speaker 5: No, it didn't, and not because Kenya didn't have impact.
- 9:30Speaker 5: Because when I came back to the show after taking
- 9:33Speaker 5: off for three years, I was excited to be in
- 9:37Speaker 5: the same space.
- 9:38Speaker 4: As Kenya again, you know what I mean. And I
- 9:39Speaker 4: don't know what the hell that was gonna look like.
- 9:41Speaker 5: I didn't know if she was gonna be riding me
- 9:43Speaker 5: about my marriage or whatever, or and or my divorce.
- 9:47Speaker 5: And I didn't know if we were going to be
- 9:48Speaker 5: making up and be grown women and try to.
- 9:50Speaker 4: Build a friendship.
- 9:52Speaker 5: But I knew that she was going to hold a
- 9:54Speaker 5: great space for me as in another leader in the pack.
- 9:58Speaker 4: And you know, even though this is is an ensemble
- 10:01Speaker 4: cast and people now think, oh, I like being.
- 10:03Speaker 5: The you know, the head person in charge. No, I
- 10:06Speaker 5: love a strong cast. I cannot say that enough, you do.
- 10:09Speaker 5: I do love a strong cast. I don't need to
- 10:11Speaker 5: be the queen of nothing. We all queens as far
- 10:14Speaker 5: as I'm concerned, because that means I can work a
- 10:16Speaker 5: little less.
- 10:18Speaker 4: I can work a little less, you know what I'm saying.
- 10:21Speaker 5: But when it comes to Kenya having to leave, it
- 10:24Speaker 5: did hurt me. It did because I felt like we
- 10:27Speaker 5: were able to just meet.
- 10:28Speaker 4: Each other in a different space.
- 10:30Speaker 5: I feel like the space that she and I have built,
- 10:33Speaker 5: And yes, I'm gonna add myself in. Whether the bitch
- 10:35Speaker 5: bullied me for years or not, I'm gonna add myself
- 10:37Speaker 5: in because everybody plays a part in a relationship. But
- 10:40Speaker 5: I feel like the space we had grown up on
- 10:43Speaker 5: the show in was very toxic, and I feel like
- 10:45Speaker 5: my time away and her time away when we came
- 10:49Speaker 5: back this time, we wanted to get to know each
- 10:52Speaker 5: other on a different space. It was more like I
- 10:54Speaker 5: respect you, respect me. Damn, bitch, I missed you, you
- 10:57Speaker 5: miss me. Forget the drama. Let's see if we can
- 10:59Speaker 5: get to know each other because we're the last one standing.
- 11:01Speaker 5: And so when she left, it wasn't so much as dang, how.
- 11:06Speaker 4: Am I gonna hold it down? It was you got
- 11:08Speaker 4: to step up to the plan to do what you
- 11:09Speaker 4: gotta do, you know now.
- 11:11Speaker 5: Unfortunately when she left, I was divorcing, so I wasn't
- 11:16Speaker 5: really in the space to step up. Like that year
- 11:19Speaker 5: that she left was probably was probably one of my
- 11:22Speaker 5: toughest years coming back. I was started the season going
- 11:26Speaker 5: through divorce, drawing I were going through it. I just
- 11:28Speaker 5: wasn't open emotionally to anybody on the cast except for Cynthia,
- 11:32Speaker 5: and so although I knew that there needed to be
- 11:36Speaker 5: an anchor, at some point, I wasn't ready to do that.
- 11:39Speaker 4: I wasn't even ready to open up to the show
- 11:42Speaker 4: in that way.
- 11:43Speaker 5: Besides, okay, if I need to handle something in a moment, handling,
- 11:46Speaker 5: and when I left, I left, and that's really not
- 11:49Speaker 5: the best way to step into that anchor position. I
- 11:53Speaker 5: feel like this season, I'm more present, I'm healing, I'm
- 11:59Speaker 5: at a better place expires where I'm healing. And not
- 12:03Speaker 5: to say that I'm the anchor or not. I think
- 12:05Speaker 5: it's pretty obviously that me Phedra and sent the other anchors.
- 12:08Speaker 2: Yeah, when I look at you, Portia, Diane Williams, Yes, Okay,
- 12:14Speaker 2: come on, government, I'm like, you.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Made it known that you can't count a bitch out.
- 12:27Speaker 5: No, well, you can't count me out because God has
- 12:30Speaker 5: counted me in. So there's not a person on this
- 12:32Speaker 5: earth who can count me out. My destiny is already said.
- 12:36Speaker 5: It is what it's gonna be. It's a matter of
- 12:38Speaker 5: whether I'm gonna step into that place and own it
- 12:40Speaker 5: or not. And I think at this point in my life,
- 12:43Speaker 5: I am totally owning everything that is there for me,
- 12:45Speaker 5: I'm owning my success, I'm owning my mistakes, I'm owning everything.
- 12:49Speaker 5: So it was never anybody who could give it to
- 12:52Speaker 5: me or take it away from me. It's whether I
- 12:54Speaker 5: woke the fuck up and said, you know what, I'm
- 12:57Speaker 5: that bitch, you know, and I'm that girl. Whether I'm divorced,
- 13:01Speaker 5: I'm that girl. Whether I'm single, I'm that girl. Whether
- 13:03Speaker 5: I'm kicked out of my house, I'm that girl. Whether
- 13:05Speaker 5: Housewives wanting back or not, I'm that girl regardless. And
- 13:10Speaker 5: I started when I started to really accept that and
- 13:13Speaker 5: celebrate myself and envision my future without anything else besides
- 13:18Speaker 5: me being empowered, then you know, nothing could touch that.
- 13:22Speaker 4: Nothing.
- 13:23Speaker 1: And it's funny because I look back at you season six.
- 13:28Speaker 4: Yeah, and what was going on season six?
- 13:30Speaker 1: I'm about to tell you.
- 13:31Speaker 2: Okay what episode one, season six second scene the episode
- 13:38Speaker 2: premiere started Albernini and Greg opening up their wedding gifts.
- 13:42Speaker 2: They just got remarried, and then it cut to you,
- 13:45Speaker 2: and it cuts to you. You were talking to Randy Kessler.
- 13:49Speaker 2: Oh yes, and I remember praising you to the network
- 13:56Speaker 2: that season because you were you were positioned as like
- 14:02Speaker 2: this steper wife. Yeah, for sure, do you know what
- 14:04Speaker 2: I mean? Season five? And it was sort of like, well,
- 14:06Speaker 2: who is she now? Who is Poorsia of season six?
- 14:10Speaker 2: And what I do want the world to know is this,
- 14:11Speaker 2: and I mean this with every five of my being.
- 14:13Speaker 2: And I never said this publicly. No one produced you
- 14:17Speaker 2: season six.
- 14:20Speaker 1: No one gave you ideas, suggestions.
- 14:22Speaker 2: You were so real and raw, and I remember marveling
- 14:26Speaker 2: at your strength because when you were talking to Randy Kessler,
- 14:31Speaker 2: and that's when you all found out that this man
- 14:34Speaker 2: who you devoted your life to.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Divorced you on Twitter first, which is.
- 14:41Speaker 2: How you found out. And not only did you have
- 14:44Speaker 2: to find out he divorced you via Twitter, you were
- 14:48Speaker 2: removed from the home. He kicked you out right, and
- 14:52Speaker 2: then you had to live it your mother. And then
- 14:55Speaker 2: I remember Miss Diane passionately declaring to the world that
- 15:02Speaker 2: you were driving around your Mercedes Benz and you had
- 15:05Speaker 2: to ask your mother for five hundred dollars.
- 15:08Speaker 1: And my thought process at that time was who you
- 15:14Speaker 1: are today?
- 15:16Speaker 2: Do you feel like subconsciously when it comes to the
- 15:19Speaker 2: decisions you make in relationships or your career, is it
- 15:23Speaker 2: because you never want to be put in a situation
- 15:27Speaker 2: where a man can kick you out.
- 15:30Speaker 1: You have to borrow five hundred.
- 15:31Speaker 2: Dollars from your mother, you have to move back in
- 15:34Speaker 2: with her, and you have to start from scratch.
- 15:38Speaker 5: So for me, season six and having to re enter
- 15:43Speaker 5: the show completely opposite to what I thought I was
- 15:47Speaker 5: gonna give to the camera. So, you know, I think
- 15:49Speaker 5: that a lot of people, you know now nowadays housewives
- 15:53Speaker 5: come onto the show. They audition or not, and they
- 15:55Speaker 5: get put on the show and then they become whatever
- 15:58Speaker 5: character they possibly think they need to be right and
- 16:01Speaker 5: I hey, good, better and different. Maybe that's how people
- 16:03Speaker 5: make reality TV now.
- 16:05Speaker 4: But some girls they do that.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
- 16:07Speaker 5: However, my mind frame and how I joined the show
- 16:10Speaker 5: in the beginning was I'm a wife, you know, I'm I.
- 16:14Speaker 5: I have a a husband who was famous. You know,
- 16:17Speaker 5: I c I have a certain pedigree from which I
- 16:20Speaker 5: come from, and I wanted to unveil what a beautiful
- 16:23Speaker 5: black family look like. And that's what I thought I
- 16:26Speaker 5: was coming to do. So it was no negative in
- 16:28Speaker 5: my mind. And then season two reality kicked in and said,
- 16:32Speaker 5: oh no, this is your real life and the dotted
- 16:34Speaker 5: line you signed on, they still got to see the
- 16:37Speaker 5: ugly and I think that is where I bought into
- 16:42Speaker 5: my staying power on reality TV, and where I paid
- 16:46Speaker 5: the price to be to have supporters be on this
- 16:50Speaker 5: journey with me when they realized that although I thought
- 16:53Speaker 5: my life was perfect and I wanted to cook his meals,
- 16:56Speaker 5: that at this point, my mama gotta cook my meals,
- 16:58Speaker 5: you still don't care. My mama gotta bring me breakfast,
- 17:00Speaker 5: my mama got a house, me clothed me, etc. I
- 17:03Speaker 5: think when I was able to let the camera see
- 17:05Speaker 5: that a woman can be can see herself through a
- 17:10Speaker 5: man's eyes only, and then forget who she is and
- 17:12Speaker 5: then rebuild that that was important the show is when
- 17:15Speaker 5: I clocked in.
- 17:16Speaker 4: I think that is at that point is when I
- 17:19Speaker 4: knew after that.
- 17:19Speaker 5: Season longevity would be there, because after that season of
- 17:22Speaker 5: showing how broken I was, Candy was there for me
- 17:26Speaker 5: during that I think that's when she and I really
- 17:27Speaker 5: got close, after being that vulnerable in front of cameras,
- 17:32Speaker 5: knowing that was the opposite of what I thought I
- 17:34Speaker 5: was going to show, and I would meet people in
- 17:37Speaker 5: the street and they would say, Porsche, it was because
- 17:39Speaker 5: you showed what you went through, Porsche, It's because you
- 17:42Speaker 5: decided to go through this and open up your family life,
- 17:47Speaker 5: you know, open up and show that all what glitzen
- 17:50Speaker 5: glows is not perfect.
- 17:52Speaker 4: When you did that, you helped me. You helped me
- 17:54Speaker 4: walk away from a relationship that might have been abusive.
- 17:56Speaker 5: You helped me, you know, find strength in myself or
- 17:59Speaker 5: rebuild or just reimagine what your damn life would be like.
- 18:02Speaker 5: When I did that, that's when I said, Okay, I'm
- 18:05Speaker 5: now married to this world and I decided that I'm
- 18:09Speaker 5: gonna stick to it, you know what I mean. Like,
- 18:11Speaker 5: not only yes, there's a realistic part of the check
- 18:14Speaker 5: being there and that was great, but there was also
- 18:17Speaker 5: a part of me to decide it this is who
- 18:19Speaker 5: I'm supposed to be at this moment. This is a
- 18:21Speaker 5: part of my life is supposed to show, whether I
- 18:23Speaker 5: become a TV host or not, where our own multimillion
- 18:25Speaker 5: dollar companies or not.
- 18:27Speaker 4: I'm also supposed to show the other.
- 18:29Speaker 5: Side of being a woman and what we go through
- 18:32Speaker 5: that may be embarrassing, would be hurtful, where a moment
- 18:35Speaker 5: would have to be vulnerable.
- 18:37Speaker 4: At that moment, I knew.
- 18:38Speaker 5: This is a part of me, and it was on
- 18:41Speaker 5: through the seasons. I want to say maybe around season
- 18:43Speaker 5: eight is when I realized that it was don't.
- 18:47Speaker 4: Take this too deep. I know how people roll with
- 18:49Speaker 4: my words.
- 18:49Speaker 5: It was somewhat of a ministry to be able to
- 18:52Speaker 5: basically show my testimony like everything that I was going through,
- 18:56Speaker 5: I was going through it and giving that. I'm a
- 18:58Speaker 5: tribe person. If you meet me and I don't care
- 19:00Speaker 5: what you got going on. Now, it's a part of
- 19:02Speaker 5: my add for me to want to relate to you.
- 19:04Speaker 5: Why you're telling me a story, like you could be
- 19:06Speaker 5: telling me a story and my mind is running to
- 19:08Speaker 5: find something similar to relate to you.
- 19:10Speaker 4: Right, But it's also a part of me because it's
- 19:14Speaker 4: a part of my calling to also.
- 19:15Speaker 5: If I'm talking to someone, be like, dang, I went
- 19:17Speaker 5: through the same thing and this is how I was
- 19:20Speaker 5: encouraged or this is how I made it through and
- 19:23Speaker 5: TV reality TV became that vehicle for.
- 19:26Speaker 4: Me to do that.
- 19:27Speaker 5: Now, I'm not saying that I knew I was this
- 19:31Speaker 5: powerful of a person to help change people lives. I
- 19:34Speaker 5: just knew that if I was real, if I ignored
- 19:37Speaker 5: the cameras, if I just lived my life authentically, that
- 19:40Speaker 5: it would help somebody. That's what I knew in the end,
- 19:44Speaker 5: and that's pretty much. What kept me doing this all
- 19:46Speaker 5: the time.
- 19:47Speaker 2: Well, no, listen, and I don't think there's anything to
- 19:50Speaker 2: be bashful about when it comes to your testimony.
- 19:53Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, listen.
- 19:55Speaker 2: You and I are very spiritual and in my faith,
- 19:58Speaker 2: God makes no mistakes. Everything happens for a reason, and
- 20:01Speaker 2: you have to sit there and understand the role you
- 20:03Speaker 2: played in the situation. But also how can I remove
- 20:07Speaker 2: myself from the situation and grow from it? And I
- 20:10Speaker 2: think in your marriage to Cordell, a lot of that
- 20:12Speaker 2: to me was that was her first marriage, and you
- 20:15Speaker 2: married a Heisman Trophy winner. And I would never forget
- 20:18Speaker 2: him being on the radio and he said he was
- 20:21Speaker 2: used to being heralded as Cordell Stewart, the Heisman Trophy winner,
- 20:28Speaker 2: and he was now reduced to meeting people as portious husband.
- 20:33Speaker 1: You remember that, right, I do?
- 20:34Speaker 4: And I was forewarned by Nini. I never forget. We
- 20:37Speaker 4: were on the first trip that I took, the trip
- 20:40Speaker 4: that I took where Katy was.
- 20:42Speaker 5: Spinning around and Nini was doing all she was doing.
- 20:45Speaker 5: That's the first troop with Nini looked at me and
- 20:46Speaker 5: she said, you realize what you've signed up for? Yeah,
- 20:49Speaker 5: she said, first of all, your husband's pussy.
- 20:51Speaker 4: Game is going to go through the roof. And you know,
- 20:53Speaker 4: my innocent self at that time, I'm only thirty, I'm like,
- 20:55Speaker 4: who game?
- 20:57Speaker 1: You know? And what roof?
- 20:58Speaker 4: And where howd you go get in contact?
- 20:59Speaker 5: She was like, no, no, no, you do put him
- 21:01Speaker 5: on his TV. You you put him out there, and
- 21:03Speaker 5: I was like, okay, wow. The second thing she told
- 21:05Speaker 5: me was it can only be one star in that house.
- 21:10Speaker 5: And what was so crazy about her telling me that
- 21:12Speaker 5: was I can remember one time we had a disagreement
- 21:16Speaker 5: and he said those exact words.
- 21:17Speaker 4: He said, there can only be one star in this house.
- 21:21Speaker 5: Yeah and so, and listen, that's not taking anything away
- 21:26Speaker 5: from him or taking away from anything away from me,
- 21:29Speaker 5: but he was the celebrity in our relationship. And you know,
- 21:33Speaker 5: at that point, the Real Housewives fans are bigger than NFL, NBA, WNBA.
- 21:39Speaker 5: They are huge, and they're very, very passionate, So no
- 21:42Speaker 5: matter where you're going, they're gonna feel overwhelming in it.
- 21:45Speaker 5: At that moment, I think it felt like my stardom
- 21:47Speaker 5: had risen beyond you know, but you know, she did
- 21:52Speaker 5: forewarm me, and I just think in that marriage, it
- 21:54Speaker 5: wasn't really a fault of his, and it really wasn't
- 21:58Speaker 5: a fault of mine.
- 21:59Speaker 4: Sometimes when two.
- 22:00Speaker 5: People get married, they can have an intention to have
- 22:02Speaker 5: a particular life.
- 22:04Speaker 4: But your upbringing also plays a part.
- 22:07Speaker 5: So although I was born to be a wife, I
- 22:10Speaker 5: feel and I was raised to be a wife, and
- 22:13Speaker 5: a part of my mind have grown up so religious
- 22:16Speaker 5: was being a wife was a pinnacle. My mom had
- 22:19Speaker 5: also empowered me. So see I think I forgot about
- 22:22Speaker 5: that part. When I met Cordell. I had my own
- 22:25Speaker 5: child care centered centaurs, I had two and I was
- 22:29Speaker 5: very successful.
- 22:30Speaker 4: I lived in a penthouse.
- 22:31Speaker 5: He lived in a penthouse across the street from me,
- 22:33Speaker 5: and so I was very successful when he met me.
- 22:35Speaker 5: But when he met me again, the pinnacle and the identity.
- 22:37Speaker 4: To me was to be a wife.
- 22:40Speaker 5: But while you are agreeing to be the wife, which
- 22:43Speaker 5: I became the housewife. I let go all my businesses,
- 22:46Speaker 5: I let my my penthouse go. What was deep in
- 22:50Speaker 5: me that my mother had put was being an entrepreneur,
- 22:54Speaker 5: being a woman who can empower herself, being a woman
- 22:56Speaker 5: who can constantly grow, Being a woman who can identify
- 22:59Speaker 5: and say who who she is when she gets to
- 23:01Speaker 5: that place. And I forgot about that part, and so
- 23:04Speaker 5: within that marriage, although had agreed to be this cute
- 23:06Speaker 5: little housewife that burning desire to have something for myself,
- 23:12Speaker 5: it had to come out.
- 23:13Speaker 4: And I just was growing.
- 23:15Speaker 5: I mean I was thirty and I started to grow,
- 23:17Speaker 5: and that just wasn't the marriage to grow in. It's
- 23:20Speaker 5: not his fault, it really wasn't mine. Sometimes a marriage
- 23:23Speaker 5: is not yours to grow in with that person, and
- 23:25Speaker 5: that one just wasn't growable, so we both had to
- 23:27Speaker 5: leave it.
- 23:28Speaker 4: That's really what that was.
- 23:29Speaker 2: When you say you were you were raised to be
- 23:31Speaker 2: a wife. Were you raised to be a rich man's wife?
- 23:37Speaker 4: Well, you know, in the South, you want to marry up.
- 23:39Speaker 4: I mean that's just simple.
- 23:40Speaker 5: I mean you don't imagine yourself marrying someone where you struggling,
- 23:45Speaker 5: And you know, I hate that me now being on TV.
- 23:48Speaker 5: That kind of gets flipped because at the same time,
- 23:50Speaker 5: I was never struggling as an adult. I always again
- 23:53Speaker 5: had my own very successful et cetera. But when you
- 23:57Speaker 5: say it, so many people don't understand that mentality because
- 24:00Speaker 5: it's so old school. But yes, when you marry it's like, yeah,
- 24:04Speaker 5: you want americonone who can take care you in the
- 24:06Speaker 5: most traditional way, and in tradition it is the husband
- 24:10Speaker 5: who's the head of the household. He's the provider, he's everything.
- 24:13Speaker 5: So not necessarily he has to be a millionaire, but
- 24:15Speaker 5: he does. His money is more important than yours. Hence
- 24:18Speaker 5: why when I got married, I closed my I sold
- 24:21Speaker 5: my businesses and just depended on his. You know, So, yes,
- 24:25Speaker 5: it's a part of it is definitely, you know, honoring
- 24:28Speaker 5: your husband, putting him at the head of everything. But
- 24:31Speaker 5: as I have grown, yes, if I ever get married again,
- 24:34Speaker 5: I will still honor my spouse. But I know that
- 24:37Speaker 5: I have a place in that marriage too. I know
- 24:39Speaker 5: that it's a partnership. I know that we should be
- 24:40Speaker 5: standing side by side. I know that what means something
- 24:43Speaker 5: to me should mean something to them. So it's a
- 24:46Speaker 5: little bit different now. But being thirty years old, you know,
- 24:49Speaker 5: coming out of the gay first marriage, I was set
- 24:51Speaker 5: that way that being a wife was.
- 24:54Speaker 4: The like the pinnacle.
- 24:56Speaker 1: What is so fascinating to me is this. I never
- 24:58Speaker 1: even heard you say this.
- 25:00Speaker 2: So when you was married to Perdale, You're like, I'm
- 25:03Speaker 2: going to be a wife and I'm gonna like forget
- 25:05Speaker 2: about my businesses, remove myself from it and be a wife.
- 25:09Speaker 2: So when you married Simon, you quit this nation, you
- 25:12Speaker 2: quit Housewives.
- 25:14Speaker 1: It is no go ahead.
- 25:15Speaker 5: So when I married Simon, this is this is what happened,
- 25:18Speaker 5: and I guess it's a for the record type of conversation.
- 25:21Speaker 5: For the record, Okay, the record, Okay, So for the record,
- 25:25Speaker 5: I left Housewives for that break when I turned forty.
- 25:28Speaker 5: That was around forty, and I had planned for that
- 25:31Speaker 5: financially mentally everything.
- 25:34Speaker 4: I knew that I had had my daughter, Palar.
- 25:36Speaker 5: I knew that I wanted to experience real life and
- 25:38Speaker 5: real time outside of the cameras, and I knew I
- 25:41Speaker 5: was going to give myself that time to step away.
- 25:43Speaker 4: So I had financially planned for that.
- 25:45Speaker 5: You know, these checks are large doing housewives, so that
- 25:48Speaker 5: means I have been very responsible with my income to
- 25:50Speaker 5: know I could walk away from that check, and I
- 25:52Speaker 5: did so. Then I met Simon, and at that point
- 25:55Speaker 5: I was working at this Nation and you know, you
- 25:58Speaker 5: have I'm traveling with him and all that, and it's like, oh, well, baby,
- 26:01Speaker 5: I don't really want you with me, and he decided
- 26:04Speaker 5: to supplement that income.
- 26:05Speaker 4: Well, thank you very much, you know, So that's how
- 26:08Speaker 4: that happened.
- 26:09Speaker 5: I didn't not think Housewives because he I got married
- 26:12Speaker 5: and I just walked through from house hove.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Planned because you know, the rumor is you left Housewives
- 26:19Speaker 2: when you married Simon because you didn't want to deal
- 26:21Speaker 2: with answering questions about that relationship.
- 26:23Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't understand that. I mean, I've dealt with
- 26:25Speaker 5: worse questions on Housewives. Yeah, and I even came back
- 26:29Speaker 5: after the turmoil, so that would even be worse. Right, No,
- 26:33Speaker 5: it's it's listen. I've had my feet to the fire.
- 26:36Speaker 5: I've been burned, I've been everything on this show. There's
- 26:38Speaker 5: nothing that I'm afraid of. I had already genuinely let
- 26:42Speaker 5: Housewives know prior to that reunion I wasn't going back.
- 26:44Speaker 4: They knew that already. Andy knew that.
- 26:46Speaker 5: Everyone knew that already, and that's before I even got
- 26:49Speaker 5: with Simon. So you know, I understand how it looks.
- 26:52Speaker 5: And I'm the type of celebrity to where I don't
- 26:55Speaker 5: chase after all the narratives that are out there. Do
- 26:58Speaker 5: I think that some of them I probably should have addressed. Maybe,
- 27:02Speaker 5: but I just don't do that because at the end
- 27:04Speaker 5: of the day, I am a public figure and my
- 27:07Speaker 5: life is out there and people are gonna come up
- 27:08Speaker 5: with timelines and this and that, and you just can't
- 27:11Speaker 5: chase that. I gotta be too busy living my life,
- 27:13Speaker 5: you know what I mean. And by the time I
- 27:15Speaker 5: came back to Housewives, I was in survival mode. So
- 27:18Speaker 5: I'm not in a place where I'm worried about what
- 27:19Speaker 5: people are saying or I'm not trying to clear things
- 27:22Speaker 5: up for anybody, because I'm too busy really living my life.
- 27:25Speaker 2: So I remember and speaking of clearing things up, because
- 27:28Speaker 2: you know, I love that I'm talking to they heal
- 27:30Speaker 2: the Porsche because well healing healing, all right, because it's
- 27:35Speaker 2: a progress progress.
- 27:38Speaker 4: It's so body that takes me back.
- 27:40Speaker 2: We're gonna have.
- 27:43Speaker 1: The princess up out lining the.
- 27:47Speaker 4: Hated Yes.
- 27:49Speaker 2: So I remember talking to you because I only contact
- 27:53Speaker 2: you if I felt like my girl needs me. And
- 27:55Speaker 2: it was a time that you broke the Internet with
- 27:59Speaker 2: the of you, Dennis and Simon, and we were like WTF, right, And.
- 28:04Speaker 4: I was like WTF. The next day, I was like,
- 28:08Speaker 4: what did we do? What is happening?
- 28:11Speaker 2: It was? It broke the internet, and I remember you
- 28:15Speaker 2: trended number one on Twitter and celebrities were even commenting
- 28:21Speaker 2: on it, and I remember there was one thing that
- 28:24Speaker 2: hurt your feelings that you said to me, And they
- 28:28Speaker 2: had this Portia soundtrack on Twitter, and the soundtrack was
- 28:36Speaker 2: see the Girls, I'll take your man or Alicia Keys
- 28:40Speaker 2: unbreak up, you know, like all of these and that.
- 28:43Speaker 4: She's somewhere living her life and on vacation.
- 28:46Speaker 2: Yeah, and I remember you being offended by it at
- 28:49Speaker 2: that time. I'm going to go back at that time
- 28:52Speaker 2: and the reason why I wanted to bring this up
- 28:54Speaker 2: is because I know you personally and and you weren't
- 28:59Speaker 2: marveling at this You really had a very hard time
- 29:07Speaker 2: dealing with the things people were saying because you knew
- 29:10Speaker 2: some show was gonna come.
- 29:11Speaker 1: And you were prepared.
- 29:11Speaker 2: You were prepared for that, but you weren't prepared for
- 29:15Speaker 2: people really referring to you as horseshot at that time,
- 29:21Speaker 2: and then to see people try to weaponize you even
- 29:25Speaker 2: on the show this season when it comes to that,
- 29:27Speaker 2: can you talk to us about how you really listened
- 29:33Speaker 2: in your defense?
- 29:34Speaker 1: And I said this on my show.
- 29:36Speaker 2: When we cast new Housewives or friend of we assign
- 29:42Speaker 2: a housewife to them. I just did sympth and Billy's
- 29:45Speaker 2: podcast and I said to her, the network said, you're
- 29:48Speaker 2: going to meet Niini and hopefully Nini likes you, but
- 29:52Speaker 2: Nini's going to be your friend, and that's you gonna
- 29:54Speaker 2: come in with.
- 29:56Speaker 1: Yes.
- 29:56Speaker 2: So I remember with Fallon it was the same thing
- 29:59Speaker 2: with you, and I remember saying to the world like.
- 30:01Speaker 1: I'm not poortial apologist.
- 30:03Speaker 2: But what I need you guys to understand as a
- 30:05Speaker 2: producer is there.
- 30:08Speaker 1: Wasn't a friendship there.
- 30:09Speaker 2: And I think when it came to you, did you
- 30:12Speaker 2: not think at the time that, oh shit, they're gonna
- 30:17Speaker 2: think I took this woman's husband.
- 30:20Speaker 4: You know, here's the thing.
- 30:22Speaker 5: I take full accountability for my part in the optics, okay,
- 30:27Speaker 5: and I take full accountability for not speaking to the
- 30:30Speaker 5: narrative once again, at that time, I just didn't feel
- 30:33Speaker 5: like it was my place. You know, the things that
- 30:36Speaker 5: I knew about her and his relationship, it did not
- 30:41Speaker 5: feel like it was my place.
- 30:43Speaker 2: You know.
- 30:43Speaker 5: I had heard her doing an interview and she was like, well,
- 30:45Speaker 5: if I'm pregnant, I'll say so me. I'm a woman.
- 30:49Speaker 4: I'm gonna respect that. If she wants to tell that
- 30:52Speaker 4: about herself while she's that's on her.
- 30:54Speaker 1: Because you knew she was pregnant at the time, and
- 30:56Speaker 1: you were protecting the story and it was not my place.
- 31:00Speaker 4: Yeah, it just wasn't my place to speak on and
- 31:03Speaker 4: I knew it very early on.
- 31:05Speaker 5: You know, it was one of the reasons that you know,
- 31:08Speaker 5: they were where they were in their relationship.
- 31:10Speaker 4: It just wasn't my place. And even though if I
- 31:13Speaker 4: would have taken that information and.
- 31:15Speaker 5: Put it out, would it have freed me from the
- 31:18Speaker 5: shackles of ther of the scarlet letter. Sure would have.
- 31:21Speaker 5: But that's the price that I paid at that time
- 31:23Speaker 5: for to just stay out of it, you know what
- 31:26Speaker 5: I mean. And for me when it goes back to
- 31:29Speaker 5: whether she was my friend or not, No, she wasn't.
- 31:32Speaker 5: I also had text messages that showed the day I
- 31:35Speaker 5: was gonna film, the producer send me her numbers, said, Hey,
- 31:38Speaker 5: this is her number, so you can meet her.
- 31:41Speaker 4: I did not know her. I did not know anything.
- 31:44Speaker 5: And of course I filmed with her, and you know,
- 31:46Speaker 5: fist pump Simon did not even recognize him or anything.
- 31:49Speaker 5: I had known him like eight years ago, didn't even
- 31:52Speaker 5: recognize him. Had met her that day for the first time.
- 31:55Speaker 5: But you know what, at the end of the day,
- 31:57Speaker 5: it is what it is. I know that people at
- 31:59Speaker 5: this point are gonna believe what they want to believe anyway.
- 32:02Speaker 5: There's some people who hear my side and they're hearing
- 32:05Speaker 5: it to understand, and then there's some people who are
- 32:08Speaker 5: hearing me to figure out a way to trip it
- 32:10Speaker 5: up and switch it up all over again. So I'm
- 32:13Speaker 5: still responsible for me. I'm not gonna speak to how
- 32:16Speaker 5: his part. I'm not gonna speak to her part. I
- 32:18Speaker 5: wish her well, I wish him well. At the end
- 32:20Speaker 5: of the day, that was years ago. I married him
- 32:23Speaker 5: and were now divorced, and pretty much that's that. But
- 32:28Speaker 5: you know, when I think about it, yes, if I
- 32:29Speaker 5: were to speak on some of the information that I
- 32:31Speaker 5: had at the time, would it have made it better?
- 32:34Speaker 5: Maybe maybe, because as a public figure and as someone
- 32:38Speaker 5: who's been in reality TV, I could sit here and
- 32:41Speaker 5: be telling you the absolute truth, and there may be
- 32:44Speaker 5: sixty percent of people who just are.
- 32:45Speaker 4: Determined to say, Nope, you stole him. He was legally married.
- 32:48Speaker 4: That's what you did, and that's what it is, And
- 32:50Speaker 4: so I just paid that cost like it is what
- 32:53Speaker 4: it is. I just have to continue on living my life.
- 32:55Speaker 5: That's one of the burdens of being a reality star,
- 32:59Speaker 5: and people don't really want to hear all the truth.
- 33:02Speaker 5: They really want to hear what's sensationalized. They really want
- 33:04Speaker 5: to hear that. It's people who walk around all day,
- 33:07Speaker 5: it's women on our show Housewives of Atlanta who were
- 33:11Speaker 5: going through divorce and who are still dating. It's men
- 33:13Speaker 5: who are going through divorce that are celebrities and they're
- 33:15Speaker 5: still dating.
- 33:16Speaker 4: But you know, I get crucified. So it is what
- 33:19Speaker 4: it is.
- 33:19Speaker 5: I own it and I've moved on. So you don't
- 33:22Speaker 5: have to be mad at me about it. You don't gotta,
- 33:25Speaker 5: you know, try to put me on a cross about it.
- 33:27Speaker 5: It's done and it's over with for me.
- 33:29Speaker 2: Do you feel like there's an apology to give a
- 33:31Speaker 2: fallon or you think at the end of the.
- 33:33Speaker 1: Day, it is what it is.
- 33:35Speaker 5: I think that an apology will be something that is
- 33:39Speaker 5: close to taking accountability. I take my accountability for you know,
- 33:44Speaker 5: me not speaking to the situation. I think as far
- 33:47Speaker 5: as her, I wish her well. And however she was
- 33:50Speaker 5: dealing with her husband or had moved on from him,
- 33:52Speaker 5: or he had moved on for her, that's something for
- 33:54Speaker 5: them to figure out. That's something for them to make
- 33:56Speaker 5: amends with. It really doesn't have anything to do with me.
- 33:59Speaker 5: But yes, I knew that by fault of the show,
- 34:02Speaker 5: that's how it's gonna look. You know, you have to
- 34:05Speaker 5: do the show and everybody has to look like friends.
- 34:08Speaker 5: You have to make it look a certain way. No
- 34:10Speaker 5: one's really thinking about the fact that this is a
- 34:12Speaker 5: set and this is someone who's trying out, someone who's auditioning,
- 34:16Speaker 5: and they're here and they're gone. You know, people don't
- 34:19Speaker 5: think about that, and it's at the end of the day,
- 34:21Speaker 5: it's not my job to really enlighten you.
- 34:23Speaker 4: It's fine. Say what you want to say, comment and
- 34:25Speaker 4: I'm moving on.
- 34:26Speaker 2: And when people say to you when you and Simon
- 34:29Speaker 2: were divorced, seeing that this was your karma, because I'm
- 34:31Speaker 2: sure you saw that, Yeah, did that hurt you or
- 34:34Speaker 2: did you also do you believe that was your karma?
- 34:38Speaker 4: Well, if it was my karma, it's a good karma,
- 34:41Speaker 4: it's good karma.
- 34:43Speaker 1: Tell me how.
- 34:44Speaker 4: I'm in a great place.
- 34:45Speaker 1: You know.
- 34:46Speaker 5: Although I loved him and I would have loved for
- 34:49Speaker 5: our relationship to work out, what's best is where.
- 34:52Speaker 4: I am now.
- 34:53Speaker 5: You know, we sometimes when you marry someone no matter
- 34:56Speaker 5: what your intentions are, how hard you work it trying
- 34:58Speaker 5: to make it, you know, be with it used to be.
- 35:00Speaker 5: And they may be thinking they're working and making a
- 35:04Speaker 5: relationship work.
- 35:04Speaker 4: It just doesn't work out, you know.
- 35:06Speaker 5: And so I feel like where I am now and
- 35:09Speaker 5: the way I know portion now, I think I'm in
- 35:12Speaker 5: a better place. So if it was karma, it's good karma,
- 35:15Speaker 5: you know, because there are some parts of that relationship.
- 35:20Speaker 5: I have to admit that I was falling back into
- 35:22Speaker 5: old patterns way back with my first marriage, you know,
- 35:25Speaker 5: giving up who I was to a certain extent.
- 35:28Speaker 4: I love this nation.
- 35:30Speaker 5: I loved doing that job, and you know, when you
- 35:33Speaker 5: think about it, it's like, oh, well, why did I
- 35:35Speaker 5: just poof give it up? I know why I give
- 35:38Speaker 5: up Housewives at the moment, because I wanted to. But
- 35:40Speaker 5: what was that decision making that made you say, oh,
- 35:43Speaker 5: you've been doing this nation for eight years, You're just
- 35:45Speaker 5: gonna leave it.
- 35:46Speaker 4: You know.
- 35:46Speaker 5: So when you start, as you're growing and you're learning
- 35:49Speaker 5: who you are me now being in my forties, you
- 35:51Speaker 5: start to recognize when old patterns are coming back. And
- 35:54Speaker 5: sometimes when you are practicing old patterns, you end up
- 35:57Speaker 5: with the same people who used to hurt you, and
- 36:00Speaker 5: so for me, I started to look and realize, oh, wow,
- 36:04Speaker 5: I'm with the same type of person that is hurtful
- 36:07Speaker 5: to me. Not that he tried to hurt me, but
- 36:10Speaker 5: the box that I was being put in.
- 36:12Speaker 4: It just wasn't best for me. And where I am now,
- 36:15Speaker 4: I'm so open and free with who I am, Like
- 36:19Speaker 4: I literally take snapshots on a daily basis of my life.
- 36:24Speaker 5: Like if it's something bad, I take a snapshot and
- 36:27Speaker 5: think about how I got through it that day. If
- 36:29Speaker 5: I'm spending time with my daughter, I take a snapshot,
- 36:31Speaker 5: like I'm so blessed to have my daughter with my partner,
- 36:34Speaker 5: I'm taking a snapshot.
- 36:35Speaker 4: Wow, I owned who I am and I get to
- 36:37Speaker 4: have this type of happiness.
- 36:39Speaker 5: And even in business, I'm making choices and decisions that
- 36:43Speaker 5: I feel confident about.
- 36:44Speaker 4: It's not like I'm being led anywhere.
- 36:46Speaker 5: I own every part of who I am right now,
- 36:49Speaker 5: and I just don't know if I would have been
- 36:52Speaker 5: there only seeing myself through a man's eyes. And now
- 36:55Speaker 5: I have true vision of who Porsche is and I
- 36:57Speaker 5: love it good, bad or in different. I fucking love
- 37:00Speaker 5: me right now?
- 37:01Speaker 1: Did he like your limelight, your your star power.
- 37:04Speaker 4: He did, Yeah, he did. I mean, who wouldn't It's
- 37:07Speaker 4: pretty glamorous to be a housewife.
- 37:10Speaker 1: Well, what's not to you?
- 37:11Speaker 5: Friends will call you who you haven't talked too in years,
- 37:13Speaker 5: family members coldly, you don't want to know the tea
- 37:15Speaker 5: from the show like, it's a very glamorous lifestyle for
- 37:19Speaker 5: someone to.
- 37:19Speaker 4: Enter into as my partner.
- 37:21Speaker 1: And did he liked it too much?
- 37:23Speaker 4: That would only be for him to say, can I say?
- 37:26Speaker 4: You can say what you want.
- 37:28Speaker 1: I was surprised, Yeah, I was listen in his defense,
- 37:33Speaker 1: I met him once, Yeah, and he was lovely.
- 37:36Speaker 2: I was surprised at the route he's going now with
- 37:39Speaker 2: interviews and the you know, the face two photos and
- 37:43Speaker 2: the appati, Well I did that, Okay.
- 37:47Speaker 6: I enjoy a Facebook. I enjoyed Face two and two
- 37:54Speaker 6: or three. You want to be next to me in
- 37:56Speaker 6: the picture, I'm gonna touch you too. And once I
- 37:58Speaker 6: touched him once, it's like hit me and yeah, that
- 38:01Speaker 6: that's who you are.
- 38:02Speaker 1: Only hen.
- 38:08Speaker 4: Got that phone? That app out my phone?
- 38:10Speaker 2: Do you know that people were making best at your
- 38:14Speaker 2: wedding whether or not I was going to last?
- 38:16Speaker 5: I think that Unfortunately for there's a part of this
- 38:21Speaker 5: world for me that is unfortunate. There are some people
- 38:24Speaker 5: that truly do root for me, and then there are
- 38:27Speaker 5: some people that feel like this young black girl shouldn't
- 38:29Speaker 5: have all that, This black girl doesn't deserve the princess treatment,
- 38:33Speaker 5: This black girl doesn't deserve somebody who you know, sees
- 38:37Speaker 5: her worth and wants to treat it like a princess
- 38:39Speaker 5: and wants to make her feel like she didn't have
- 38:42Speaker 5: to work and do what she wants to do and have.
- 38:44Speaker 4: It all, have her daughter and be her daughter.
- 38:46Speaker 5: Some people root for women to have that, and when
- 38:50Speaker 5: they get it, they want to destroy it. And then
- 38:53Speaker 5: there are some people who root for you to have
- 38:54Speaker 5: it and they're happy for you. So am I surprised
- 38:57Speaker 5: that those very people who were at pos at my
- 39:00Speaker 5: wedding or online talking about betson, etc. No, I'm not surprised,
- 39:05Speaker 5: because everybody's not happy for you. And at the end
- 39:07Speaker 5: of the day, if you live your life for people's cheers,
- 39:09Speaker 5: it's gonna be silent at night. You cannot be listening
- 39:12Speaker 5: to people cheers. You cannot give a damn. You gotta
- 39:14Speaker 5: live your life and make your mistakes and get your
- 39:17Speaker 5: wins for yourself.
- 39:19Speaker 4: That's how you have to do it.
- 39:21Speaker 1: I am so proud of you.
- 39:22Speaker 2: Thank you, no, because seriously, the thing with you that
- 39:25Speaker 2: I love is the fact that you have allowed yourself
- 39:29Speaker 2: to be a woman who has Listen, you went through
- 39:33Speaker 2: some shit.
- 39:34Speaker 1: Yeah, do you know what I'm saying?
- 39:35Speaker 2: And now was I had a front seat watching down
- 39:37Speaker 2: on the Foe as producer and to see how you're
- 39:41Speaker 2: able to take all of that pain and turn it
- 39:47Speaker 2: into purpose. I mean, you have this empire that you
- 39:51Speaker 2: built for yourself. And what was interesting is when I
- 39:53Speaker 2: was in the Breakfast Club.
- 39:56Speaker 5: I was and again thank you for that interview, the
- 39:58Speaker 5: interview that you did on the Breakfast Club, and you
- 40:02Speaker 5: dubbed me the black Kardashian. Where the people to say,
- 40:05Speaker 5: why she gotta be the Black Kardashian. No, no, no,
- 40:07Speaker 5: We're talking about impact. We're talking about influence. We're talking
- 40:10Speaker 5: about a vision for someone and what they can give
- 40:13Speaker 5: to the world. For you to compare me to her
- 40:16Speaker 5: or just that level of impact, I truly appreciate it.
- 40:18Speaker 4: You didn't have to do that, you know what I mean.
- 40:20Speaker 4: You didn't have to give me a flower.
- 40:22Speaker 5: You could say, oh, Porscha, you know, she played dumb,
- 40:24Speaker 5: but she really smart and leave it there. You took
- 40:27Speaker 5: it a step further and you spoke to my character
- 40:30Speaker 5: and you spoke for the gift that you had seen
- 40:32Speaker 5: long time ago, and you were celebrating where it is now.
- 40:36Speaker 5: And I just want to tell you, humbly, I really
- 40:39Speaker 5: do appreciate you saying that, because not many people speak
- 40:43Speaker 5: about me in that manner publicly.
- 40:46Speaker 2: No, And I say that, well, you're welcome, Porsicha, and
- 40:49Speaker 2: I meant every word, because you have built a multi
- 40:54Speaker 2: million dollar empire.
- 40:56Speaker 1: Go Naked Hair.
- 40:58Speaker 2: We're talking about the sheets, bitch, We're talking about a
- 41:00Speaker 2: beauty campaign that you have with Cindy Crawford.
- 41:03Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? As a black girl
- 41:05Speaker 1: from Georgia like you really did do that.
- 41:09Speaker 2: When it comes to the multiple businesses that you have
- 41:13Speaker 2: and the reason why I said no, I think you guys,
- 41:16Speaker 2: this is what I feel sad about when it comes
- 41:20Speaker 2: to the perception of people half of you.
- 41:22Speaker 1: You're not dumb.
- 41:24Speaker 2: You're no one's bimbo. You are a very smart business woman.
- 41:28Speaker 2: You have passive income. I don't think people understand that
- 41:32Speaker 2: your sheets brings in millions of dollars.
- 41:36Speaker 1: Yeah, you have so many things going on for yourself.
- 41:42Speaker 2: So for the world who may not know this because
- 41:45Speaker 2: again I say, oh she does housewives and whatever, talk
- 41:47Speaker 2: to us about the many business endeavors that you do have.
- 41:51Speaker 5: Well, Go Naked just reached over ten million dollars in sales.
- 41:56Speaker 5: And I've had Go Naked here ten plus years, and
- 41:59Speaker 5: that's the hugecomplishment for me and my business and my partners.
- 42:02Speaker 5: And I will not partners because I don't have any partners,
- 42:04Speaker 5: but you own it one one hundred percent on Go
- 42:08Speaker 5: Naked Hair and we just reached over ten million dollars.
- 42:12Speaker 5: Pamper by Porsche I've had over seven years and we
- 42:15Speaker 5: have also reached over millions. What I have to say
- 42:19Speaker 5: for people who say Porsche is dumb or bimbo.
- 42:23Speaker 4: It's just words. Continue to do so. I mean, I
- 42:26Speaker 4: post enough on my page.
- 42:28Speaker 5: Sometimes people when they come to my Instagram and they
- 42:30Speaker 5: see someone post, They're.
- 42:31Speaker 4: Like, hell, I ain't know it's on postal page.
- 42:33Speaker 1: Because I will.
- 42:33Speaker 5: Repost two sixty five I will miss saying two sixty
- 42:37Speaker 5: five days a year, I will repost underground Railroad. I
- 42:40Speaker 5: will post it all because at the end of the day,
- 42:42Speaker 5: who don't say crazy shit? Sometimes who the hell is
- 42:45Speaker 5: sitting at home with their family and they hear be like,
- 42:47Speaker 5: oh you the bembo with a family.
- 42:49Speaker 4: Like it happens, people say crazy things. It is what
- 42:52Speaker 4: it is.
- 42:53Speaker 5: But when it comes to doing business and having a
- 42:56Speaker 5: mindset to build a very successful brand, I also have
- 43:00Speaker 5: that women are multifaceted. I am goofy is hell, Okay,
- 43:05Speaker 5: I'm silly. I know how to how to have a
- 43:07Speaker 5: good time, but I also know how to compartmentalize things
- 43:12Speaker 5: in my life and make family and business a priority.
- 43:16Speaker 5: I also know that I come from legacy and I
- 43:18Speaker 5: want to leave a legacy for my daughter.
- 43:21Speaker 4: And I've practiced these things.
- 43:22Speaker 5: In my life a long time ago, and I do
- 43:25Speaker 5: recognize that on TV people love like, honestly, it's so funny.
- 43:29Speaker 5: If people are watching me on TV and I don't
- 43:31Speaker 5: say something funny for a couple of episodes.
- 43:33Speaker 4: They're like, ooh shit, too serious.
- 43:36Speaker 5: They need me to call Japan, you know, to Japan,
- 43:39Speaker 5: China or whatever the hell.
- 43:41Speaker 4: They need all of that from me. And I'm okay
- 43:43Speaker 4: with that. Like, have a laugh, because I'm gonna.
- 43:46Speaker 5: Have a laugh too, but just no on my laugh.
- 43:48Speaker 5: I'm laughing to the day A bank. You know what
- 43:49Speaker 5: I'm saying, I'm handling business at the end of the day.
- 43:53Speaker 4: And you know, for me and my real.
- 43:55Speaker 5: Life, and I'm not saying household, this is not my
- 43:57Speaker 5: real life. But with my meaningful friends, I talk to
- 44:01Speaker 5: them about having a trust. I talk to them about,
- 44:04Speaker 5: you know, doing their having a trust, putting everything into
- 44:10Speaker 5: that trust, making sure that they protect themselves, making sure
- 44:12Speaker 5: they have great life insurance, making sure that their wills
- 44:15Speaker 5: are in place, making sure I mean, these are things
- 44:18Speaker 5: that I'm talking about.
- 44:19Speaker 4: It took me two years to do. I just not
- 44:22Speaker 4: finished one not long ago.
- 44:24Speaker 5: These are things that I've done that people in my
- 44:26Speaker 5: position don't normally think about. People don't normally think about
- 44:30Speaker 5: when you make money, Okay, you know, paying your taxes
- 44:33Speaker 5: on time and different things like that. I pay attention
- 44:36Speaker 5: to those things and anything that I don't know, I
- 44:38Speaker 5: hire someone who's a specialist in that. And I have
- 44:40Speaker 5: done very well at doing my due diligence with my finances.
- 44:44Speaker 5: And it's okay to people don't know that because a
- 44:46Speaker 5: lot of times you don't need to know that.
- 44:48Speaker 1: You know, I think they having a good time.
- 44:52Speaker 4: That's cool too, you know what I mean.
- 44:53Speaker 2: I think you could do ball, especially for you because
- 44:57Speaker 2: you you are listen and when I say again, I'm
- 45:00Speaker 2: not blowing smoke.
- 45:01Speaker 1: Up your ass.
- 45:02Speaker 2: When it comes to a current black woman on reality
- 45:05Speaker 2: television who is currently on their show right filming. Currently
- 45:09Speaker 2: you are the number one black female reality star, thank you?
- 45:13Speaker 4: Are you?
- 45:14Speaker 1: Are it?
- 45:15Speaker 4: Thank you?
- 45:16Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean?
- 45:16Speaker 2: So when I say you're a black Kim Kardashian, I
- 45:19Speaker 2: wasn't trying to compare you to a white woman. What
- 45:22Speaker 2: I was trying to do was say something that could
- 45:24Speaker 2: make people be like, what does he mean by that?
- 45:26Speaker 1: And do their research right, Because.
- 45:28Speaker 2: It's okay for Kim to say, I got scams, I
- 45:30Speaker 2: got all these things. You have Pampa Bay, Porsche, you
- 45:33Speaker 2: have go naked hair, you have all of these things,
- 45:35Speaker 2: and you get to que check my housewise child, Yes
- 45:37Speaker 2: how much?
- 45:38Speaker 5: And I have a all around deal with NBC Universal,
- 45:42Speaker 5: I have a production company. I'm a successful actress as well.
- 45:45Speaker 5: Like I have a lot of things going. I think
- 45:49Speaker 5: maybe some points I have done myself an injustice and
- 45:52Speaker 5: not popping my shit, you know, like my manager tells
- 45:55Speaker 5: me sometimes she's like Porsche, it's okay to say these
- 45:58Speaker 5: things it's okay to say, just speak more about the
- 46:01Speaker 5: business side of things that you do.
- 46:02Speaker 4: I think sometimes I shy away from it because maybe.
- 46:05Speaker 5: I lean in a little more on the housewife side
- 46:08Speaker 5: when I'm doing housewife interviews. But you know, I just
- 46:10Speaker 5: did an interview for Forbes and had a very thank
- 46:13Speaker 5: you and had a very important, insightful interview about my
- 46:17Speaker 5: mind as an entrepreneur.
- 46:19Speaker 4: My mother was an entrepreneur, very successful.
- 46:22Speaker 5: She opened the first twenty four hour childcare center in Georgia,
- 46:25Speaker 5: probably all over back then nineteen eighty two. My father
- 46:30Speaker 5: was an entrepreneur. He also was an attorney. That whole
- 46:33Speaker 5: side of the family are attorneys. He owned a chemical company.
- 46:36Speaker 5: My grandfather, Refin Jose William's own the same chemical company,
- 46:41Speaker 5: Terry Enterprise. So I have grown up with the entrepreneurial spirit.
- 46:46Speaker 5: I've been working in business ever since I was seventeen
- 46:49Speaker 5: years old. But I'm also you know, fluffy with the hair,
- 46:53Speaker 5: also loved to hear makeup. I also, you know, have
- 46:57Speaker 5: this big charisma type of person and that's what won
- 47:02Speaker 5: me over on TV. But now where I am now,
- 47:05Speaker 5: twenty twenty six, Porsche, I would love to show all
- 47:10Speaker 5: aspects of who I am, and I think that's why
- 47:12Speaker 5: this season, particular season seventeen of Housewives, I show up differently,
- 47:17Speaker 5: and I think it's a little difficult for the girls
- 47:19Speaker 5: to take and I think it's going to run the
- 47:20Speaker 5: girls crazy and it's probably gonna end up making them
- 47:24Speaker 5: look like the bembo because I'm actually showing up as
- 47:28Speaker 5: the other side of Porsche.
- 47:29Speaker 4: I don't know if you remember, Paris.
- 47:31Speaker 5: Hilton did an interview and she spoke about having adhd
- 47:35Speaker 5: or I'm sorry adadd I'm not sure which one, but
- 47:38Speaker 5: one of the two.
- 47:40Speaker 4: And in that same interview, she was speaking in.
- 47:43Speaker 5: Her regular voice and she spoke about how she built
- 47:46Speaker 5: her own business outside of her family's business, and people
- 47:49Speaker 5: were like shock, Like wow, that's another side of her.
- 47:52Speaker 5: We thought she was just like it's hot, no, no, bitch.
- 47:56Speaker 5: She also told you was hot, but she was making it.
- 47:58Speaker 4: Hot at the bank.
- 47:59Speaker 5: She was handling business, and it had nothing to do
- 48:01Speaker 5: with her family, nothing to do with her billion dollar husband.
- 48:04Speaker 4: It was who she was. She just played off the
- 48:07Speaker 4: other side.
- 48:08Speaker 5: And I think I've leaned into that enough enough, and
- 48:12Speaker 5: I think again, and I know I take it back.
- 48:15Speaker 5: I think I know this season I showed up as
- 48:18Speaker 5: who I am now Porsche Williams, who's turning forty five
- 48:22Speaker 5: this year. And you know when I want When my
- 48:24Speaker 5: daughter watches the show, people always ask me. They're like, oh,
- 48:27Speaker 5: what do you What do you think pol Larn's gonna
- 48:29Speaker 5: think what she watched the show?
- 48:30Speaker 4: What do you want her to think? Oh? I would
- 48:31Speaker 4: like to see her see me evolve. I want her
- 48:35Speaker 4: to see me and know that as a woman you
- 48:37Speaker 4: can reinvent yourself.
- 48:39Speaker 5: How dare I come back this season and not show
- 48:42Speaker 5: how present I am and who I am and yeah,
- 48:45Speaker 5: if something is happening to me, I ain't got to
- 48:48Speaker 5: show the back of my goddamn people like you know,
- 48:53Speaker 5: I can sit up and have a real conversation with
- 48:55Speaker 5: you and be like, no, I absolutely didn't mean to
- 48:57Speaker 5: offend you by saying pregnancy.
- 48:58Speaker 4: No I I And if you took it that way,
- 49:00Speaker 4: I take accountability. I want to see her. I want

- 51:13Speaker 2: No, I think that you are the richest black female
- 51:17Speaker 2: reality star that's currently on television.
- 51:20Speaker 4: Listen.
- 51:21Speaker 5: I have earned my place and I have been very
- 51:25Speaker 5: responsible of finances. My businesses are successful because I have
- 51:30Speaker 5: always been the type of public figure.
- 51:32Speaker 4: I just can't put my name on anything.
- 51:34Speaker 1: I can't.
- 51:34Speaker 4: I have all kind of stuff come to me.
- 51:37Speaker 5: But when I tell you my pamper By porsa sheet
- 51:39Speaker 5: company that derived from the love from my mom napping
- 51:42Speaker 5: in her bed while she was at work.
- 51:44Speaker 4: Go Naked hair came from me going through divorcement cordional.
- 51:47Speaker 5: And I'm like, I know, I had to find an
- 51:50Speaker 5: identity and I found it through hair like fun hair
- 51:54Speaker 5: like I wore my hair like this today because I'm like,
- 51:56Speaker 5: I feel fucking free. You know, I wore red because
- 52:00Speaker 5: I'm boss dish. You know, hair is a way for
- 52:02Speaker 5: us to express ourselves. I wore a bob on Housewives.
- 52:05Speaker 5: When I need to handle business, I only partner and
- 52:09Speaker 5: do businesses that I am very passionate about, so I
- 52:13Speaker 5: know I'm always going to be successful when it comes
- 52:15Speaker 5: to business.
- 52:15Speaker 4: I wrote a book by the Way Gone Hand Drop
- 52:17Speaker 4: that show my well. I wrote a.
- 52:22Speaker 5: Book because at this point in my life, I have
- 52:25Speaker 5: been asked many years to write a book, many years, and.
- 52:29Speaker 4: I just feel like I was ready. I was like, well,
- 52:30Speaker 4: we write a book. My life is still gone.
- 52:32Speaker 5: I still have so many things, But at this point
- 52:35Speaker 5: in my life, I said, you know what this embodies
- 52:37Speaker 5: where I'm at, the pursuit of Porsche, the pursuit of
- 52:40Speaker 5: who I am authentically is a big deal, and it's
- 52:44Speaker 5: a big deal to me relatively to my life and
- 52:47Speaker 5: being a reality start right, because as a reality start,
- 52:50Speaker 5: everybody tells you who they are. Oh, you you, you this,
- 52:52Speaker 5: you that they judging you. You can, you know, shape
- 52:55Speaker 5: yourself by what people are saying to you. So for
- 52:57Speaker 5: me to be in pursuit of Porsche and really anunderstand
- 53:00Speaker 5: who I am, find my power, find my purpose, it's
- 53:03Speaker 5: something that's relative to me in the reality world, but
- 53:05Speaker 5: it's also something every woman and every man has to do.
- 53:10Speaker 4: At some point.
- 53:11Speaker 5: You have to let the shackles go of what society
- 53:14Speaker 5: is telling you. Oh, you got to have kids by
- 53:16Speaker 5: a certain age. Oh you can't day a woman.
- 53:18Speaker 4: Oh you can't.
- 53:19Speaker 5: You know, you don't need to be in that business. Hell,
- 53:22Speaker 5: your damn mind may be working against you. Your mind
- 53:24Speaker 5: may be telling you that you're a fucking imposter. You
- 53:27Speaker 5: have to let go of all of that and say, no,
- 53:29Speaker 5: I'm gonna be in pursuit of what's in my heart.
- 53:31Speaker 5: Because at the end of the day, what ended up
- 53:34Speaker 5: being in my heart is what God gave me. And
- 53:36Speaker 5: I used to say that all the time before. I
- 53:38Speaker 5: used to say, you know what, we have God's gift
- 53:40Speaker 5: in us. We just have to tap into it.
- 53:43Speaker 4: And so this book was the very moment where I said,
- 53:45Speaker 4: you know what.
- 53:46Speaker 5: I'm want to let the world end on the Porsche
- 53:48Speaker 5: outside of the show, the Porsche, outside of the giggles,
- 53:52Speaker 5: outside of the controversy, who I really am and how
- 53:55Speaker 5: I got to where I am. And so I just
- 53:57Speaker 5: feel like, at this point in my life, I'm very old,
- 54:00Speaker 5: I'm very honest. But you're not gonna get me to
- 54:03Speaker 5: tell you how much I'm working.
- 54:04Speaker 2: Noel I got when I see it in Forbes, he jabari, Okay, job,
- 54:13Speaker 2: when I see in the Forbes, just no, you heard
- 54:15Speaker 2: it her first?
- 54:15Speaker 1: Okay, first, she's number one. I want to get to
- 54:19Speaker 1: season seventeen. I love this season. I actually and I
- 54:22Speaker 1: told you this. I love last season too.
- 54:25Speaker 4: Yes, I love so even though I felt like I
- 54:27Speaker 4: was going through was like, I love it.
- 54:29Speaker 1: I love that bitch. This is crazy, I said, I
- 54:33Speaker 1: love it. But I'm gonna tell you what I did
- 54:36Speaker 1: not love.
- 54:38Speaker 5: Tell me Carlos, because you know you are the producer
- 54:41Speaker 5: of the producers when it comes to Housewives, Baby, I
- 54:44Speaker 5: could tell you one thing.
- 54:45Speaker 4: I wish she was on that season. I mean, I
- 54:47Speaker 4: I do give respect to the producer we had, but Baby,
- 54:52Speaker 4: if you was.
- 54:53Speaker 1: On some of these these recent seas, thank you you're
- 54:55Speaker 1: so sweet.
- 54:56Speaker 2: No, I don't love what happened and what happened return
- 55:02Speaker 2: you and Shamiyah okay, because I was there with you
- 55:05Speaker 2: from the beginning, right, and I know how much love
- 55:08Speaker 2: it was there. And I remember last season when it
- 55:16Speaker 2: felt like there was this air that Porsche did not
- 55:21Speaker 2: want to share the spotlight with her friend. It was
- 55:26Speaker 2: the air of listen, we're gonna speak candidly Shemia. Then
- 55:30Speaker 2: an interview with Candy and intimated that you did not
- 55:34Speaker 2: call her when she got the peach right, and you
- 55:39Speaker 2: eventually sent the text of something. Then you cleared it
- 55:41Speaker 2: up and said I called you. Then the answer I
- 55:43Speaker 2: text you. But besides all of that, one thing I
- 55:46Speaker 2: said on my Monday night live show, I said I
- 55:50Speaker 2: need to know this, and I said, I gotta ask
- 55:52Speaker 2: Porsia this whenever I said with her, did Shemia ever
- 55:56Speaker 2: once come to you and say, hey, friend, I want
- 56:00Speaker 2: to be a housewipe of Atlanta.
- 56:02Speaker 1: Put your girl on.
- 56:06Speaker 5: First of all, I say this, I shy away from
- 56:10Speaker 5: talking about Shemiah in recent interviews just because in season
- 56:15Speaker 5: seventeen she did something so low down, so disrespectful, so hurtful,
- 56:23Speaker 5: and so unwarranted that I just I do shy away
- 56:28Speaker 5: from speaking about her because what ended up happening.
- 56:33Speaker 4: Out of nowhere.
- 56:35Speaker 5: It was something that just taught me, Okay, you really
- 56:39Speaker 5: probably shouldn't speak at the speak about this person too much.
- 56:43Speaker 4: You should probably just you know, step back and let
- 56:50Speaker 4: her have it, you know what I mean. It really
- 56:53Speaker 4: got to that place.
- 56:54Speaker 5: And because at the end of the day, this show,
- 56:58Speaker 5: yes it's a show, you know, but our friendship was
- 57:02Speaker 5: real and.
- 57:05Speaker 4: Her still being on the show, I had to.
- 57:08Speaker 5: Come into this season knowing, Okay, you know what, we're
- 57:12Speaker 5: no longer friends, we no longer have a relationship at all.
- 57:15Speaker 5: But you know what, she's got her position and she
- 57:18Speaker 5: should shine period, like she's gonna shine. I always knew it.
- 57:23Speaker 5: I always rooted for it. It's all I wanted in
- 57:26Speaker 5: the beginning for her.
- 57:28Speaker 4: It's all I would root for it behind the scenes
- 57:30Speaker 4: for her.
- 57:31Speaker 5: And just because she and I are not close or
- 57:35Speaker 5: have any relationship doesn't mean we can't be on the
- 57:39Speaker 5: show and just coexist. And so I tried to do
- 57:41Speaker 5: that the best of my best of my ability, but
- 57:46Speaker 5: it did get very bad in the end of the show,
- 57:49Speaker 5: like she ended up bringing something and I was like,
- 57:51Speaker 5: this is out of the blue, like I had we
- 57:53Speaker 5: had actually started Kiki and and stuff, and it just
- 57:57Speaker 5: so I do shy away from speaking about her, just
- 58:00Speaker 5: because I just don't understand what's there. It seems to
- 58:03Speaker 5: be something that I I'd rather not engage with.
- 58:07Speaker 4: I've just moved on. It's a lot of women on
- 58:10Speaker 4: this season. It's almost nine.
- 58:12Speaker 1: Eight housewives, eight housewives. Cynthia makes a friend of nine nine.
- 58:16Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's a lot of people to engage with.
- 58:21Speaker 5: So it really doesn't take that much away from the show,
- 58:24Speaker 5: you know what I mean. It's not like because she
- 58:27Speaker 5: and I aren't close that it's taken away. It's not
- 58:30Speaker 5: I found my people. She's got her people, and that's
- 58:33Speaker 5: pretty much how we work it.
- 58:35Speaker 1: I'm gonna move on from her and stick to see
- 58:37Speaker 1: seen the.
- 58:37Speaker 5: Seventeen Hold like you got something on your eylash right,
- 58:40Speaker 5: or do you wanna blow it with my hannasy breath?
- 58:50Speaker 4: Talk about a good blow?
- 58:58Speaker 2: Young's sorry.
- 59:01Speaker 1: What I will say is this. What I will say
- 59:03Speaker 1: is this.
- 59:04Speaker 5: All I can do is focus on where the love
- 59:06Speaker 5: is for me, where the friends are for me, where
- 59:08Speaker 5: the people who want to understand me. I can say
- 59:12Speaker 5: that this season, there are some people who feel like
- 59:15Speaker 5: they are set on not understanding me because of certain alliances.
- 59:19Speaker 5: I do feel like there are people who might have
- 59:23Speaker 5: been colored against wanting to truly get to know me.
- 59:26Speaker 5: And I can tell that because if I'm coming open armed,
- 59:30Speaker 5: and you know, authentic and apologetic or honest or loving,
- 59:36Speaker 5: how could you not want to understand that? How could
- 59:39Speaker 5: you not accept that? But for a couple of people,
- 59:43Speaker 5: it's not being accepted, and that's cool.
- 59:45Speaker 4: It is what it is.
- 59:47Speaker 2: One of the things that happened in a recent episode
- 59:49Speaker 2: that I would like to get you to clear the
- 59:51Speaker 2: air on was the conversation about that Chemist show had
- 59:56Speaker 2: the miscarriage comment. I'm sure you say all the comments.
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: It seemed to be pretty split whether or not you
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: intentionally meant it to harm her or it was just
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: something that you know, you said off the top of
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: your dome. You are somebody who is an ambassador for
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: the March of Dimes. You are somebody again going back
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: to season six where you talked about having a miscarriage
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: right and you cried about the fact that you were
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: there per week and Cordell didn't only show them one time,
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: like this is something that you have you dealt with.
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: What would you like to say?
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: Because cay Michelle did do tweets even after the episode
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: air where we saw the episode in and it seemed
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: like y'all, huggod all, everything is good, but then the
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: tweets started to happen afterwards where she sort of is
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: doubling down on she doesn't trust you.
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: What do you have to say about that?
- 1:00:51Speaker 5: I think that's another situation where someone has decided that
- 1:00:55Speaker 5: this is the route they need to take. I don't
- 1:00:59Speaker 5: think this is a route that ky Michelle needs to
- 1:01:01Speaker 5: take or has to take. I think it's the wrong road.
- 1:01:05Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, if you have
- 1:01:07Speaker 5: been watching the show and then you were finally on
- 1:01:11Speaker 5: the show, you decide this is how you're gonna enter,
- 1:01:14Speaker 5: this is how I'll make my mark, then it is
- 1:01:16Speaker 5: what it is.
- 1:01:16Speaker 4: This is the game she decides to play.
- 1:01:18Speaker 5: And I only say that because whether or not, and
- 1:01:22Speaker 5: I will say when I said it to her, I
- 1:01:25Speaker 5: had first asked her, was it okay?
- 1:01:28Speaker 4: Did she want to openly speak about her situation? Number two?
- 1:01:33Speaker 5: The reason why I asked her did she want to
- 1:01:34Speaker 5: speak about it? On camera is because I didn't know
- 1:01:38Speaker 5: specifically what it was.
- 1:01:40Speaker 4: No one told us.
- 1:01:40Speaker 5: Even when I text Ky Michelle prior to that scene
- 1:01:44Speaker 5: at the nail shop, I was like, hey, you in
- 1:01:45Speaker 5: the hospital, you know, are you okay? She said, oh, yeah,
- 1:01:48Speaker 5: you know, I had to have a procedure or whatever.
- 1:01:51Speaker 5: She never told me what it was for, so I
- 1:01:54Speaker 5: had no idea which part of her was, you know,
- 1:01:58Speaker 5: a problem.
- 1:01:59Speaker 4: I had no idea. So of course, as a woman,
- 1:02:03Speaker 4: I know we making TV.
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: It is what it is.
- 1:02:05Speaker 5: I'm not gonna just sit here and start asking her
- 1:02:07Speaker 5: about what she was in the hospital for, what procedure
- 1:02:10Speaker 5: if she's not ready, So I wanted to first say, hey,
- 1:02:13Speaker 5: are you good talking about it? Because at the end
- 1:02:15Speaker 5: of the day, I don't care if this is our
- 1:02:17Speaker 5: job to speak about personal stuff or not. I don't
- 1:02:20Speaker 5: care if she talked about it in a scene with
- 1:02:22Speaker 5: her doctor on camera or not. If I then need
- 1:02:25Speaker 5: to pivot the conversation away from specifics, I'm gonna do that.
- 1:02:29Speaker 4: But she said yeah, I'm okay, yeah, and she proceeded
- 1:02:31Speaker 4: to tell us what was going on.
- 1:02:33Speaker 5: Unfortunately, she was burying the lead. I mean, she went
- 1:02:35Speaker 5: on to the store for a while before she.
- 1:02:38Speaker 4: Even mentioned it was her bottom during that time.
- 1:02:42Speaker 5: You know, we're standing there and I'm like, oh, when
- 1:02:45Speaker 5: she was describing sounded mirrored what I had been through.
- 1:02:48Speaker 4: You're sitting there in a pool of fluid. Same thing.
- 1:02:51Speaker 5: It happened to me prior to having Polla's my rainbow baby,
- 1:02:55Speaker 5: but I had a miscarriage at home by myself. Woke up,
- 1:02:57Speaker 5: same thing. So I was like, oh, so it came
- 1:03:00Speaker 5: to my was it a miscarriage? Right after that, Shen said, girl,
- 1:03:04Speaker 5: I thought the same thing. We moved on with the conversation.
- 1:03:07Speaker 5: She continued to describe more fluid that did not have blood.
- 1:03:11Speaker 5: Cynthia then said, like your water broke. We're women, all
- 1:03:15Speaker 5: of us are in a trusted space. We all have uteruses,
- 1:03:19Speaker 5: but we're talking about things that we all had been through.
- 1:03:22Speaker 5: We're all trying to relate to her, for her to
- 1:03:26Speaker 5: open up and you know, talk about what she's got
- 1:03:28Speaker 5: going on. So in that moment, I didn't feel anything.
- 1:03:31Speaker 5: I didn't, you know, think that anything had offended her.
- 1:03:34Speaker 5: It wasn't until I met with her at the lunch
- 1:03:37Speaker 5: table and she was like, oh, what's when you said miscarriage?
- 1:03:40Speaker 4: I was taken back, you know.
- 1:03:42Speaker 5: Like, oh my god, how could you think that I would,
- 1:03:45Speaker 5: you know, try to offend you or you know, call
- 1:03:48Speaker 5: you out, or even oh, my god, make fun of
- 1:03:50Speaker 5: you about a miscarriage.
- 1:03:51Speaker 4: And I could have gone all like, how could you think?
- 1:03:54Speaker 5: But I said, you know what, respect how she feels,
- 1:03:57Speaker 5: whether she thinks I meant it, whether I did not
- 1:04:00Speaker 5: mean it, whatever my intentions were, this is how she feels.
- 1:04:03Speaker 5: So in that moment, I said to her, I apologize
- 1:04:06Speaker 5: forget my excuse of oh I have been through before,
- 1:04:09Speaker 5: because none of that fucking matters if you genuinely feel
- 1:04:12Speaker 5: like what I said offendsh you?
- 1:04:13Speaker 4: Okay, I hear you, and I'll never do that again.
- 1:04:16Speaker 5: I'll be careful and make sure that I temper or
- 1:04:18Speaker 5: wait till you go ahead and say what was going on.
- 1:04:21Speaker 5: So in that moment, I felt like we care We
- 1:04:23Speaker 5: handled that conversation very adult, very mature, And I remember
- 1:04:27Speaker 5: telling her at that lunch table, I said to her,
- 1:04:30Speaker 5: I said what I want to do with you.
- 1:04:31Speaker 4: I want to show you how I friend.
- 1:04:34Speaker 5: And I'm not saying that my friend better than her,
- 1:04:36Speaker 5: but I wanted to give her a different experience in
- 1:04:38Speaker 5: Atlanta because she had cried to me about being in
- 1:04:41Speaker 5: Atlanta and having a friendship group which was from Love
- 1:04:44Speaker 5: and hip Hop, and they treated her wrong and they
- 1:04:46Speaker 5: ran out of here and they were so unfair to her.
- 1:04:48Speaker 4: And I told her that day.
- 1:04:50Speaker 5: That day, she told me that story, and I told
- 1:04:52Speaker 5: her that day at that lunch table, I said, I
- 1:04:54Speaker 5: know what you've been through, and I know.
- 1:04:55Speaker 4: What triggers you have. I know you could be sensitive.
- 1:04:58Speaker 5: I said, I want you to know I'm not there, girl,
- 1:05:01Speaker 5: and the people who I have around you, Cynthia and Phaedria,
- 1:05:03Speaker 5: were not those girls. I am the type of person
- 1:05:06Speaker 5: I want to protect my friend.
- 1:05:07Speaker 4: I want to be there for you, and I'm genuine.
- 1:05:10Speaker 5: So I told her, I'm gonna show you how I
- 1:05:11Speaker 5: friend and the way we're having this conversation right now,
- 1:05:15Speaker 5: I appreciate you coming to me.
- 1:05:16Speaker 4: Let's talk about it. I also want to talk to
- 1:05:18Speaker 4: you now.
- 1:05:18Speaker 5: At the time, I had no idea she had done
- 1:05:21Speaker 5: a whole scene with Pinky and a scene with Cynthia
- 1:05:25Speaker 5: calling me dumb and this and then that.
- 1:05:27Speaker 4: I was like, oh goodness, well.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: You watched up for the first time. Did that? How
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: did it make you feel?
- 1:05:32Speaker 5: So when I watched, when I watched, came Michelle go.
- 1:05:36Speaker 5: When I watched Michelle make me. When I watched Michelle,
- 1:05:40Speaker 5: her punishment was too hard for what she called the crime.
- 1:05:43Speaker 5: I said, okay, I picked them up on a text
- 1:05:45Speaker 5: her because that's how I am as Candy. Anybody as
- 1:05:50Speaker 5: your raye if you do, you know, I'm a text
- 1:05:52Speaker 5: right away as I'm watching the show, and I said, Hey,
- 1:05:55Speaker 5: I just want you to know I'm watching the show
- 1:05:57Speaker 5: and I see that you still didn't feel or you
- 1:06:00Speaker 5: were still upset with you know, me speaking to you
- 1:06:03Speaker 5: about the situation. I said, I want you to know
- 1:06:05Speaker 5: I am sincere and that I never would have wanted
- 1:06:08Speaker 5: to offend you about that. When I spoke with Shmia,
- 1:06:11Speaker 5: she never told me any detail. You never told me
- 1:06:14Speaker 5: anything of a detail of your bottom.
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: You know it.
- 1:06:16Speaker 5: I never would have done that, And I just want
- 1:06:18Speaker 5: you to know from my heart, even though I saw
- 1:06:20Speaker 5: her call me all them names, I was like, fuck
- 1:06:22Speaker 5: all that. Let me make her as a woman. Understand
- 1:06:25Speaker 5: that at the root of it, I never would have
- 1:06:27Speaker 5: made fun of you. She said, Okay, I truly appreciate that, etc.
- 1:06:31Speaker 5: And you know, I appreciate you reenterating that you didn't
- 1:06:34Speaker 5: know were blah blah.
- 1:06:35Speaker 4: So I said, Okay, cool, put the phone down. We
- 1:06:37Speaker 4: were done. Oh my god.
- 1:06:38Speaker 5: The next day she's tweeting saying, oh, well, you know
- 1:06:43Speaker 5: what if you was to die and what'd you doubling down?
- 1:06:45Speaker 5: I was like, Okay, I see what I'm dealing with.
- 1:06:47Speaker 5: I said, I'm dealing with and I listen. I don't
- 1:06:50Speaker 5: want to go too hard on Ca Michelle. I just
- 1:06:52Speaker 5: say this in general, as a person in any space.
- 1:06:56Speaker 5: You could be at work, they could be a family member.
- 1:06:59Speaker 5: It could be if you are in any group and
- 1:07:02Speaker 5: you are talking to somebody and they don't have a
- 1:07:04Speaker 5: heart to understand you. They don't want to understand you.
- 1:07:07Speaker 5: It could be for whatever reason ratings or want to
- 1:07:10Speaker 5: be want to be right, or just want to see
- 1:07:13Speaker 5: you it's wrong. They're never gonna understand. They're never gonna
- 1:07:16Speaker 5: actually say out loud, oh I understand, because they're too
- 1:07:19Speaker 5: busy trying to do something else, whatever that else may be.
- 1:07:22Speaker 4: So I said, okay, cool.
- 1:07:23Speaker 5: So at this point, you know, I know what else
- 1:07:26Speaker 5: happens in the season, And although she's funny and she's adorable,
- 1:07:32Speaker 5: I don't know how it's gonna go over. I don't
- 1:07:35Speaker 5: think that what was happening with her and Drew is
- 1:07:37Speaker 5: gonna go over as well as maybe she thinks it will.
- 1:07:40Speaker 5: I don't, And I think, if I'm being honest, I
- 1:07:44Speaker 5: think that when she looks back at this first season,
- 1:07:48Speaker 5: she'll probably be like, Oh, I probably chose the wrong
- 1:07:50Speaker 5: team and I probably should have gone about things in
- 1:07:52Speaker 5: a more authentic way.
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: You think that's the team she told me that should
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: be a pinky.
- 1:07:58Speaker 5: I don't know, because I wasn't. I wasn't privy to
- 1:08:00Speaker 5: those conversations. I wasn't you know, I'm not a part
- 1:08:02Speaker 5: of it, you know what I mean?
- 1:08:03Speaker 4: But I think that she is a cool girl.
- 1:08:07Speaker 5: But Housewives isn't that Housewives at the root of what
- 1:08:11Speaker 5: our fans want to see. Back in the day, when
- 1:08:14Speaker 5: you were producing this show, it's about what's honest and
- 1:08:18Speaker 5: if you're talking to someone, girl, we wish somebody would
- 1:08:21Speaker 5: apologize to us.
- 1:08:22Speaker 4: Back in the day, we used to be like, dam
- 1:08:24Speaker 4: can you just apologize? Can you just understand you hurt
- 1:08:27Speaker 4: by feelings? And you still would get an apology, you know,
- 1:08:30Speaker 4: you know, or whatever it was.
- 1:08:32Speaker 5: And if you had an issue with somebody, it was
- 1:08:34Speaker 5: a real damn issue, like and you felt it, you
- 1:08:37Speaker 5: really felt it, and so that's what this is. It's
- 1:08:40Speaker 5: not like little nick Knack paddywag let me just drag
- 1:08:43Speaker 5: this bitch for a bone.
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: No, we used to have you know what I'm saying.
- 1:08:47Speaker 4: We used to have real stuff going on.
- 1:08:49Speaker 5: So when it comes to like the audience looking at
- 1:08:51Speaker 5: the show and they're like, she says she was sorry,
- 1:08:54Speaker 5: even if she meant even if she did do it,
- 1:08:57Speaker 5: she apologized, and you're still riding it. Ah, this looks
- 1:08:59Speaker 5: like you're trying to drag it. You know, this looks
- 1:09:01Speaker 5: like you're doing the most and so but you know,
- 1:09:04Speaker 5: it's her first season. She was already an established star.
- 1:09:08Speaker 5: She will be a star far beyond this show. She
- 1:09:11Speaker 5: will have a great career on this show.
- 1:09:14Speaker 4: I just think that this season will probably be a
- 1:09:15Speaker 4: learning lesson for Gave Michelle.
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, well before I let you go, I need
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: you didn't know you broke my heart? Why?
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: Because I'm gay and you're gay, So of course my surprise,
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: I'm like, we're both a part of the community. Okay,
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: so I'm the g Okay, what are you pan sexual?
- 1:09:44Speaker 4: Port what's your sexual?
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: Bit?
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: Bitch? Watching the show? I watched so of this episode.
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: Mike came back I said, way, bitch, Mike started a
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: bit of a sway.
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: Mike came back, first.
- 1:09:58Speaker 5: Of all, in that it's the Bachelorette on Housewives. It's
- 1:10:02Speaker 5: the Bachelorette on Housewives. Put both shows together.
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: Would you do the Bachelorette?
- 1:10:08Speaker 4: No, I'm very much in love. I'm very much happy
- 1:10:10Speaker 4: where I'm at. No, I'm in a relationship with is official?
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: Yes? No meaning, are y'all dating in a relationship?

- 1:10:32Speaker 1: Were gonna play.
- 1:10:33Speaker 4: We canna bump titty, you know what I mean?
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: Well, congratulations, So when did you know you was into women?
- 1:10:41Speaker 4: I always knew.
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: I knew that I was into boys.
- 1:10:44Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure around that time. Yeah, I was.
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: Ever.
- 1:10:47Speaker 5: I'm gonna hunt you everybody. You didn't met a girl? Boy,
- 1:10:50Speaker 5: we've just come over. How can we put these two
- 1:10:51Speaker 5: things together. Let's bump belly buttons, and I ain't care
- 1:10:55Speaker 5: what was below the belly button.
- 1:10:56Speaker 4: So at that point I said, yeah maybe, so, yeah,
- 1:10:59Speaker 4: you think it's it didn't matter. It didn't. I had
- 1:11:04Speaker 4: middle girlfriend in elementary school and everything.
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: You did not have a girl elementary school.
- 1:11:09Speaker 4: She had blonde hair. We used to go to the
- 1:11:11Speaker 4: tire backship. Yes, oh my god.
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: Okay, my first boyfriend as something was Ax was a
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: white boy. Really, I was so bad. I'm gonna say Minnesota,
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: I was.
- 1:11:29Speaker 5: I was definitely in a private school, and we definitely
- 1:11:31Speaker 5: had our favorite time. We go over there and do
- 1:11:33Speaker 5: a little smooth Yeah, just little and just cute and whatever.
- 1:11:38Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean I but as an adult, when
- 1:11:41Speaker 5: you're really thinking about your sexuality, I knew that I
- 1:11:46Speaker 5: was attracted to women.
- 1:11:48Speaker 4: I just did never envisioned it being like a true lifestyle.
- 1:11:53Speaker 4: And I think that.
- 1:11:56Speaker 5: With what came with my last divorce came me honestly
- 1:12:01Speaker 5: saying what do I want for my life?
- 1:12:04Speaker 4: Where could my heart lead me?
- 1:12:06Speaker 5: If I were to ever be in a re another relationship,
- 1:12:09Speaker 5: How can I do that as authentic as I can?
- 1:12:11Speaker 4: What what does that look like?
- 1:12:13Speaker 5: And so as I dated Mike and as I dated Patrice,
- 1:12:17Speaker 5: I said, you know what, I'm gonna go with the
- 1:12:20Speaker 5: energy that feels the best to me, I'm gonna go
- 1:12:23Speaker 5: where the energy and the.
- 1:12:23Speaker 4: Love feels like home.
- 1:12:25Speaker 5: And I found that with her. I j I just
- 1:12:28Speaker 5: found it with her, and I said, you know what,
- 1:12:32Speaker 5: I'm a dude, just like I do any other relationship.
- 1:12:34Speaker 5: I'm'a walk bold in this and it ended up being
- 1:12:39Speaker 5: like the biggest coming out story ever. But to me
- 1:12:42Speaker 5: it felt natural because I was doing something that was
- 1:12:46Speaker 5: true to me.
- 1:12:46Speaker 4: It didn't.
- 1:12:47Speaker 5: It didn't feel like, oh my god, you know, now
- 1:12:49Speaker 5: Porsche's dating a woman. Everybody else probably reacted to a
- 1:12:52Speaker 5: way more than I was in the moment. I was
- 1:12:54Speaker 5: just enjoying her and you know me, I'm a hopeless romantic.
- 1:12:57Speaker 5: I just want to scream from the rooftop. You know
- 1:12:59Speaker 5: what I'm saying, Like.
- 1:12:59Speaker 4: Everybody needs to know.
- 1:13:01Speaker 5: You know, I am with her and I am happy
- 1:13:04Speaker 5: and it's the best thing ever like I and so
- 1:13:06Speaker 5: I think that's how I presented it.
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: And you're in love.
- 1:13:09Speaker 4: I'm in love.
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: Congratulations and listen. My advice to you is this, enjoy
- 1:13:14Speaker 2: the moment, do you know what I mean? Like there's
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: nothing to rush into in terms of like marriage and
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: all that stuff. Like when I look at you now
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: I'm known you for over ten years. And I will
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: say this, and I mean this. This is the first
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: time where I feel like you're lighter and freer. You
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: feel like you feel more freer than you've ever been
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: in your life. And I think a lot of it
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: have to do with and I resonate with this, and
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: I do understand what you mean when you say sometimes
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: karma is a blessing. Yeah, And it determines how you
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: look at it. And I think everything you have gone
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: through Portie led you to this woman today. You are
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: operating your purpose, You're operating your pursuit of happiness. I
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: see that just based on everything you're doing, you have
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: matured in ways that makes me proud to call you
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: a friend, makes me proud to call you a star.
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: You are all of those things to me, and I
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: want you to know that me and the rest of
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: the fans, you know, the poorchefs, you know, you know,
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: we're very we're very proud of you, and and I
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: really want you to know that.
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: So what can we expect for you next though, Because.
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: There's gonna be wedding veils in the future, or an
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: another baby you want.
- 1:14:28Speaker 4: You know, a baby. The baby subject is difficult.
- 1:14:32Speaker 5: It is that just so happened to go to the
- 1:14:34Speaker 5: doctor today and found out that my firebroys have returned.
- 1:14:40Speaker 5: So when it comes to the fertility journey, it's it's
- 1:14:43Speaker 5: it's one that just doesn't stop, you know what I mean.
- 1:14:45Speaker 5: And fireboards are, unfortunately, the gift that keeps on giving.
- 1:14:48Speaker 5: And so I don't think that me being able to
- 1:14:51Speaker 5: carry a child is in my future.
- 1:14:55Speaker 4: So that was difficult. That literally just happened today. I'm sorry, No,
- 1:14:57Speaker 4: it's okay.
- 1:15:00Speaker 5: So I don't I don't know what that looks like.
- 1:15:02Speaker 5: I I definitely always wanted another child.
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: You know.
- 1:15:06Speaker 5: Pel polaris my world. She's everything, and I knew she
- 1:15:11Speaker 5: was gonna be my world. I knew she was gonna
- 1:15:12Speaker 5: be my life saver. I knew she was gonna get
- 1:15:14Speaker 5: me purpose and drive and everything. I just did wanna
- 1:15:18Speaker 5: add I did wanna have another child. And so I
- 1:15:22Speaker 5: don't know, I don't know what that looks like. I'm
- 1:15:24Speaker 5: not rushing it, you know. Look, us as women were
- 1:15:27Speaker 5: always on the time clock, you know, especially at my age.
- 1:15:30Speaker 5: I actually think I'm probably pre menopausal. I'll talk about
- 1:15:32Speaker 5: it all the time with the girls on the show.
- 1:15:34Speaker 5: I talked about it. It was a great conversation I
- 1:15:36Speaker 5: had with the girls on the Ultimate Girls Trip. Because
- 1:15:38Speaker 5: there are women of certain age, we just go through
- 1:15:42Speaker 5: a lot, and you know, when it comes to thinking
- 1:15:45Speaker 5: about having another child, I'll just have to see how
- 1:15:48Speaker 5: that works out.
- 1:15:49Speaker 1: You know.
- 1:15:50Speaker 4: Fortunately I'm with a woman who's younger.
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: You never know, but I was she carry like the
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: brad Dead for Judy.
- 1:15:57Speaker 4: Yeah, I I don't know, I don't know. Those are
- 1:15:59Speaker 4: conversations to be had later on.
- 1:16:01Speaker 5: I just wanted to see what my body was doing,
- 1:16:04Speaker 5: and unfortunately I am you know, that's not in you know, physically,
- 1:16:09Speaker 5: I'm not able to do it. But you know, as
- 1:16:12Speaker 5: far as envisioning marriage and all those things, of course
- 1:16:16Speaker 5: I would love that.
- 1:16:17Speaker 4: But I definitely am enjoying where I am.
- 1:16:20Speaker 5: I'm thoroughly enjoying Porsche, and I thoroughly enjoy how I'm
- 1:16:23Speaker 5: showing up in this relationship, and it's just so good.
- 1:16:26Speaker 4: Like where we are.
- 1:16:28Speaker 5: These we're taking steps. You know, in the past, I've
- 1:16:30Speaker 5: skipped the damn steps.
- 1:16:31Speaker 4: Honey.
- 1:16:32Speaker 5: I'm like, okay, what three months in we looking at rings,
- 1:16:34Speaker 5: what we're doing, Let's get married, big wedding, let's plan
- 1:16:37Speaker 5: you know. But I'm enjoying these steps with her. And yes,
- 1:16:41Speaker 5: she knows how fast I have moved in my passing
- 1:16:44Speaker 5: relationships and she can respect that. Now I'm slowing it
- 1:16:48Speaker 5: down with her. She's slower paced herself. You know, she's
- 1:16:51Speaker 5: forty one years old. So we both know that this
- 1:16:55Speaker 5: next relationship for us is one we are truly invested
- 1:16:58Speaker 5: in when we want to be a forever relationship. I
- 1:17:01Speaker 5: would love for her to be my forever partner, but
- 1:17:04Speaker 5: I'm willing to do the work. And that's what we're
- 1:17:06Speaker 5: doing right now. We're doing the work and we're just
- 1:17:09Speaker 5: fucking enjoying each other. I mean, you can see my Instagram.

- 1:19:23Speaker 5: you and to supporters, thank you for being on this
- 1:19:26Speaker 5: journey with me. Honestly, I truly love you all.
- 1:19:30Speaker 4: I know that over the years you all have had
- 1:19:33Speaker 4: to give me tough love.
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: I know that.
- 1:19:37Speaker 5: A lot of people when it comes to my type
- 1:19:39Speaker 5: of celebrity, because you know, on my shows, some people
- 1:19:41Speaker 5: are gonna do stuff nobody give them about, right, they're
- 1:19:43Speaker 5: a cook cate list. But me, they really care about
- 1:19:46Speaker 5: everything I do. And I don't say that like, oh
- 1:19:48Speaker 5: you care what I do? No, I say because they
- 1:19:50Speaker 5: actually care. They've been on this journey with me. They
- 1:19:53Speaker 5: have you know, hopes and dreams, they have things they
- 1:19:56Speaker 5: want me to do with and like, oh, we don't
- 1:19:58Speaker 5: do that. But I appreciate all of a good, better
- 1:20:00Speaker 5: and different. You know, it comes with it when we're family.
- 1:20:03Speaker 5: And I really do feel like a lot of the
- 1:20:05Speaker 5: housewife fans feel like my family, A.
- 1:20:08Speaker 4: Lot of them coming to me in person and chastise me. Honey.
- 1:20:10Speaker 4: They be like, girl, you need to and I'm like, okay,
- 1:20:14Speaker 4: I'll tell I tell you.
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 1:20:15Speaker 5: So I just wanted to say that from the bottom
- 1:20:17Speaker 5: of my heart, you know, while you're here in my
- 1:20:19Speaker 5: home and my heart and my space, that I love you,
- 1:20:22Speaker 5: and I love everybody who has supported me and you know,
- 1:20:25Speaker 5: just been with me and continue to rock with me,
- 1:20:27Speaker 5: because it's a lot to come.
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: What do you think your father and your grandfather is
- 1:20:31Speaker 2: saying about you in heaven when they look at when they.
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: Look at you, Wow.
- 1:20:37Speaker 5: I would say that my father in particular is proud
- 1:20:41Speaker 5: of the woman who I am. I know that he
- 1:20:44Speaker 5: in particular would have wanted to be here, to be
- 1:20:46Speaker 5: protecting me in a lot of different ways, and I didn't.
- 1:20:51Speaker 4: Have that protection. But I had to build it. I
- 1:20:53Speaker 4: had to, you know, ask God to step in his place.
- 1:20:57Speaker 5: And I think that he would be glad that I
- 1:20:59Speaker 5: made to the space. He'll be glad that I didn't
- 1:21:01Speaker 5: give up and I survived. You know, because when you're
- 1:21:05Speaker 5: growing up and you have parents, you don't think about
- 1:21:07Speaker 5: them dealing with depression. You don't think about them trying
- 1:21:09Speaker 5: to rebuild or reinvent themselves.
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: You're just like Daddy.
- 1:21:12Speaker 4: Do I have this? Mammy?
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: Do I have that?
- 1:21:14Speaker 5: And I think now as an adult, him seeing me
- 1:21:17Speaker 5: and my siblings, he would be glad that we fall
- 1:21:19Speaker 5: through and that we've become the.
- 1:21:22Speaker 4: People we are. And as far as my granddaddy, he
- 1:21:25Speaker 4: would love that I'm badass. He would because he was.
- 1:21:29Speaker 5: He was the most bad ass civil rights activist you
- 1:21:33Speaker 5: have ever seen. He was the one who was the
- 1:21:36Speaker 5: bull in the China cabinet. He was the one who
- 1:21:38Speaker 5: would rally everybody together. He's the one when he spoke,
- 1:21:41Speaker 5: you heard passion and purpose. And I think when I
- 1:21:46Speaker 5: have a lot of moments and I get to speak
- 1:21:48Speaker 5: and I have passion and purpose, I think that's him
- 1:21:50Speaker 5: speaking through me. I think that's him empowering me as
- 1:21:52Speaker 5: well to know that I can do anything, I can
- 1:21:54Speaker 5: speak life into anything.
- 1:21:56Speaker 4: So along with my along with my mother, I know
- 1:22:00Speaker 4: that they are the forces that.
- 1:22:01Speaker 5: Are behind me and just taking care of me out
- 1:22:04Speaker 5: here in this world. You know what I'm saying, and
- 1:22:05Speaker 5: I truly appreciate it. I appreciate you asking me that
- 1:22:08Speaker 5: I don't need to think about them often in these spaces,
- 1:22:11Speaker 5: so I appreciate that.
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: I know, of course, of course they're here, so you know,
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, I love you. I love you too,
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 1:22:20Speaker 5: You.
