0:03
Speaker 1: Reality with the King is hosted by me, Carlos King.
0:07
Speaker 1: I'm an executive producer who have produced some of your
0:10
Speaker 1: favorite shows from the Real Housewives of Atlanta, New Jersey,
0:13
Speaker 1: and my own creation, the Love and Marriage franchise and
0:17
Speaker 1: Bell Collective. Every episode, we recap reality television from the
0:23
Speaker 1: Real Housewives franchise to The Bachelor or Selling Sunset. in
0:27
Speaker 1: addition to celebrity guests, whether in the unscripted space or
0:31
Speaker 1: scripted as well. All right, raindrops, the time has come.
0:39
Speaker 1: Now look, I am known for loving all the girls,
0:43
Speaker 1: but guess what? I'm actually talking.
0:46
Speaker 2: To the girls.
0:48
Speaker 1: Yes, the hit series on Hulu, a Khloe Kardashian project.
0:52
Speaker 1: And today I'm here with the beautiful Khadijah and Iris.
0:58
Speaker 3: Thank you for having us.
1:00
Speaker 4: Love you. Love you.
1:02
Speaker 2: We got the girls.
1:04
Speaker 3: This is our first interview after the show's aired.
1:08
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
1:10
Speaker 2: Well, I love an exclusive.
1:11
Speaker 3: So we need your POV.
1:13
Speaker 2: Yes. What did you think?
1:14
Speaker 1: How about we do something I've never done on my
1:18
Speaker 1: podcast that I have for four years.
1:19
Speaker 3: Okay.
1:21
Speaker 2: You ladies ask me the question.
1:25
Speaker 3: What did you think?
1:26
Speaker 1: Oh, I love the show. I texted Dane Joseph, who
1:30
Speaker 1: is the Hulu executive.
1:32
Speaker 2: I mentioned it two.
1:34
Speaker 1: Days and I literally said to Dane, first of all,
1:37
Speaker 1: great job.
1:38
Speaker 2: I love the show, blah, blah, blah. And I said,
1:39
Speaker 2: but honey, where's the rest of it?
1:42
Speaker 4: I had FOMO. That's a really good sign.
1:50
Speaker 3: That's a good sign.
1:51
Speaker 4: And I feel like you're biased because this is your space.
1:53
Speaker 4: You produce, you create TV shows.
1:56
Speaker 1: That's a compliment.
1:57
Speaker 2: Well, here's the deal.
1:58
Speaker 1: This is my wheelhouse when it comes to unscripted shows. Obviously,
2:01
Speaker 1: my success doing Atlanta Housewives, Jersey, my own shows, Love
2:05
Speaker 1: and Marriage, and own Bell Collective. I understand reality television.
2:11
Speaker 1: I've been doing this for 18 years, you know, stating
2:14
Speaker 1: back from my days at Bravo. So when it comes
2:17
Speaker 1: to female ensembles, I see things with my producer eye
2:21
Speaker 1: that I think a lot of the audience are unable
2:24
Speaker 1: to see. And that's the reason why when it comes
2:26
Speaker 1: to the two of you, my girlfriend Malika isn't here
2:29
Speaker 1: today because I texted her. But I wanted to talk
2:32
Speaker 1: to the two of you for sure, because I felt
2:36
Speaker 1: like there's context that needed to be explored because there's
2:42
Speaker 1: no freaking professionals.
2:44
Speaker 4: And I'm like.
2:45
Speaker 3: We felt the same way, by the way.
2:47
Speaker 4: Yes. It was a shock to everybody. It was. But
2:52
Speaker 4: I think that it played out the best it could, right?
2:55
Speaker 4: I feel like— I think what they wanted to do was
2:58
Speaker 4: do something different in the reality space. And the fact
3:02
Speaker 4: that the girls got to be that first experience— I
3:05
Speaker 4: feel like it's been received pretty well. But, you know,
3:09
Speaker 4: anytime you bring the new to the forefront, you never
3:11
Speaker 4: know how you're going to be received.
3:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, but let me ask you this, Iris. How challenging
3:17
Speaker 1: was it for you? Because one thing we know is
3:20
Speaker 1: the fact that you ladies did tape confessionals. You know,
3:24
Speaker 1: one thing that I did enjoy was at the end
3:27
Speaker 1: of every episode, they kind of gave us a taste
3:29
Speaker 1: of it, of the confessionals.
3:31
Speaker 3: I was kind of happy that they added the little
3:33
Speaker 3: blue thing.
3:33
Speaker 4: Yeah. It was cute.
3:35
Speaker 1: But Iris, starting with you, was it hard for you
3:39
Speaker 1: to watch the season knowing that, and again, this is
3:43
Speaker 1: my producer eye as well. I know for my talent,
3:47
Speaker 1: having the confessionals allows them to give a context to
3:51
Speaker 1: scenes that aren't edited down. Like the example would be
3:55
Speaker 1: you girls in Las Vegas, right?
3:57
Speaker 3: Yeah.
3:59
Speaker 1: I've been to Vegas. You know, like, that's hours and
4:01
Speaker 1: hours and hours of footage. That's condensed to five minutes.
4:04
Speaker 4: Yeah.
4:05
Speaker 1: The confessionals allow some context to be proven and shown.
4:10
Speaker 2: Was that hard for you to not have that?
4:12
Speaker 3: It was. I understood what they were doing with the
4:15
Speaker 3: trying to make it different, but it was really hard
4:19
Speaker 3: for me personally because I'm the only girl that's never
4:22
Speaker 3: been on reality TV. So I think You get to
4:25
Speaker 3: see more of the other girls from previous shows or
4:28
Speaker 3: you have more an idea of who they are because
4:30
Speaker 3: you've seen them before on TV. This was my first time.
4:33
Speaker 3: So for me, I was like, people aren't going to
4:35
Speaker 3: understand if I'm sarcastic, if I'm funny, if like the
4:38
Speaker 3: context was really missing for me. And it was really hard.
4:42
Speaker 3: It was when they told us that the confessionals were
4:46
Speaker 3: going to be taken out. We had already filmed like
4:48
Speaker 3: four episodes of confessionals. So there was only two.
4:52
Speaker 4: We were done.
4:53
Speaker 3: So I was like, yeah. wait, like even in the
4:56
Speaker 3: scene where me and my fiance and I'm like, he's
4:58
Speaker 3: talking to me about the wedding and I'm like laughing.
5:00
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my God, people are going to think
5:02
Speaker 3: I'm just a B-A-T-C-H to him. But like, I have
5:05
Speaker 3: a nervous laugh, you know? So I'm glad they added
5:07
Speaker 3: that blooper like in there. But if you didn't have that,
5:10
Speaker 3: they'd be like, why is she laughing at him? That's
5:12
Speaker 3: so disrespectful. But you know, and then I'm a little
5:14
Speaker 3: sarcastic sometimes, but people don't know my, they don't know
5:16
Speaker 3: my tone. So it comes off as like, Is she blunt?
5:20
Speaker 3: Is she this? You know? So I feel like for
5:22
Speaker 3: me personally, if you had already seen me on another show,
5:25
Speaker 3: you'd be like, oh, no, that's how she is. But
5:27
Speaker 3: because this is their first impression, I was like, ooh,
5:30
Speaker 3: that's not going to be great for me.
5:32
Speaker 1: Well, Khadijah, for you, obviously you're no stranger to being
5:36
Speaker 1: on television. You and your sister Malika have been in movies, ATL.
5:41
Speaker 2: You've been in the entertainment business for a long time.
5:44
Speaker 1: Yeah.
5:45
Speaker 2: How did it come.
5:46
Speaker 1: To you that this show was something that they wanted
5:51
Speaker 1: to explore?
5:52
Speaker 2: Were you like, yes, immediately?
5:56
Speaker 1: Because your sister Malika, the reason why I know her,
5:58
Speaker 1: we did Hollywood Divas together.
5:59
Speaker 2: You came to the reunion. I did.
6:02
Speaker 1: She has an infamous moment where she's cussing somebody out
6:04
Speaker 1: in defense of her sister.
6:06
Speaker 4: Always.
6:06
Speaker 2: You know, like that's Malika for sure.
6:09
Speaker 4: Yeah.
6:09
Speaker 1: But for you, were you reluctant to join reality television
6:14
Speaker 1: just based on, I mean, you did the dolls on E!
6:17
Speaker 2: And all that other stuff.
6:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, we did Dash Dolls.
6:19
Speaker 2: Dash Dolls. So like, was this, did you have any apprehension?
6:22
Speaker 4: Well, I think the reason why maybe the last time
6:25
Speaker 4: I've done a reality show was 12 years ago and
6:29
Speaker 4: that was Dash Dolls is because you get presented with
6:31
Speaker 4: the opportunities, but every opportunity is not your opportunity, right? Right.
6:35
Speaker 4: every reality show isn't something that you want to be
6:37
Speaker 4: a part of. I think when this idea came to us,
6:40
Speaker 4: we were actually all together at Chloe's house. It was
6:43
Speaker 4: Tatum's birthday party. And I want to say it was Natalie.
6:47
Speaker 4: And she was kindly just like, you know, we all
6:49
Speaker 4: get introduced. We've all gotten introduced to ideas about new
6:52
Speaker 4: reality shows. Iris has been offered other reality show opportunities
6:57
Speaker 4: as well, but we just didn't We could all kind
6:59
Speaker 4: of sit there and go like, yeah, I've been offered
7:01
Speaker 4: to them, but I wouldn't do it. So it's like, well,
7:03
Speaker 4: if these are people that you know, that you genuinely
7:06
Speaker 4: call your friends and Chloe's going to spearhead and be
7:09
Speaker 4: your EP, it felt like the safest bet. And, you know,
7:14
Speaker 4: I think for a lot of us, we're all businesswomen
7:17
Speaker 4: and putting on our entrepreneurial heads. There are things that
7:20
Speaker 4: we want to do. Why not do a show together
7:22
Speaker 4: and kind of show all of those things?
7:26
Speaker 1: Iris, you are probably the one, like you said, that
7:30
Speaker 1: the audience is now getting to know. So do me
7:33
Speaker 1: a favor and explain your backstory because you are a.
7:37
Speaker 2: Bossy, empire.
7:40
Speaker 1: chick that is doing amazing things. You know, the girls
7:43
Speaker 1: concept is obviously a lot of you girls are either
7:47
Speaker 1: friends with Kim, Khloe, and I think in your case
7:50
Speaker 1: it's Kylie. So explain to us your backstory and how
7:54
Speaker 1: you and Kylie became really close.
7:57
Speaker 3: So I started my lash business, which was my first business.
8:01
Speaker 3: And that's how I got introduced to the circle. I
8:03
Speaker 3: was doing everybody's lashes and that was my first business.
8:07
Speaker 3: I then invested in other business, one being a medical
8:10
Speaker 3: spa called SevLaser. We have over like 70 locations.
8:13
Speaker 2: Wait, seven zero?
8:14
Speaker 4: Seven zero.
8:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, 70 locations.
8:17
Speaker 2: Nationwide.
8:19
Speaker 3: And then I just started investing in a lot of
8:21
Speaker 3: women-owned businesses. I come from immigrant parents. And I just
8:25
Speaker 3: like the theme of my life has really been against
8:28
Speaker 3: all odds. And I have just like figured it out. Um,
8:31
Speaker 3: I was raised as you see in the, in the
8:33
Speaker 3: little bit that you see in El Salvador, like by
8:36
Speaker 3: a really strong woman. And I feel like my culture
8:40
Speaker 3: is a big part of like who I am, but
8:42
Speaker 3: I am really resilient. And this was my year of like, yes.
8:48
Speaker 3: And being uncomfortable. And I do a vision board every year.
8:50
Speaker 3: It's so crazy. I actually do it with Kylie every
8:53
Speaker 3: December we do it. And this last December I had
8:55
Speaker 3: put on my vision board, like God make me uncomfortable
8:58
Speaker 3: because we had sold a, a, percentage of our business
9:02
Speaker 3: of Sev Lazer. And, you know, you get comfortable. And
9:06
Speaker 3: I was saying no to a lot of projects. And actually,
9:08
Speaker 3: I was going to do another show with Chloe. And
9:13
Speaker 3: Natalie and Olivia were like, oh, we want to do
9:16
Speaker 3: a show. And I was like, wait, why don't you
9:17
Speaker 3: guys get on this show? And then we were like, wait, no,
9:20
Speaker 3: we should just.
9:21
Speaker 4: Do our own show.
9:22
Speaker 2: What show was that going to be with Chloe?
9:23
Speaker 3: It was Behind the Gates, the Calabasas show. So I
9:27
Speaker 3: was going to be I was going to be a
9:28
Speaker 3: part of that. And then then Natalie brought it to
9:31
Speaker 3: Chloe and she was like, yeah, let's just I feel
9:35
Speaker 3: better you doing the show with all of our friends
9:37
Speaker 3: that know each other than I was going to do
9:39
Speaker 3: the other show with some random other cast, you know. Um,
9:43
Speaker 3: but I just think it's so funny how I put
9:45
Speaker 3: it on my vision board. Like God make me uncomfortable.
9:47
Speaker 3: And I was like, this is the year I'm going
9:48
Speaker 3: to say, I said yes to having my own podcast. Yes.
9:51
Speaker 3: To reality TV.
9:53
Speaker 1: Yes.
9:53
Speaker 3: To a movie. Eva Longoria put me in a movie
9:55
Speaker 3: that comes out next year. So this was my working
9:58
Speaker 3: uncomfortable year.
9:59
Speaker 4: And.
10:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a little uncomfortable. I'm not going to lie.
10:02
Speaker 3: You know, like it's, it's, It's good. It grows you,
10:05
Speaker 3: you know?
10:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I will say this.
10:07
Speaker 1: And when I say this, my audience knows I don't lie.
10:12
Speaker 2: Like, you're meant to be on reality television.
10:15
Speaker 1: 100%.
10:15
Speaker 3: You think so?
10:16
Speaker 1: Yes.
10:17
Speaker 4: I've been saying that to her through and through. She
10:20
Speaker 4: was probably very sick of my mouth because my mom
10:22
Speaker 4: never stopped.
10:23
Speaker 3: Her and Malika.
10:24
Speaker 4: Yes, we double teamed her. But I would always say
10:27
Speaker 4: to her, like, listen, you're a superstar. And just not
10:30
Speaker 4: in your own right, with your backstory, where you come from,
10:34
Speaker 4: what you've been able to do, your successes. Even, like,
10:37
Speaker 4: I look at her and I admire her so much. Like,
10:39
Speaker 4: she's already been through a divorce. She's been through things
10:42
Speaker 4: I'm going through now. And she takes everything. on the
10:45
Speaker 4: chin and she's still successful and she's still loving and
10:48
Speaker 4: she still has a great personality. So I'm just like,
10:51
Speaker 4: that's something, that is television, babe. But when not, when
10:54
Speaker 4: you're not in that seat and you've never experienced it,
10:56
Speaker 4: sometimes you just, it's, You're timid. You don't know, you know?
11:00
Speaker 3: Yeah.
11:00
Speaker 1: And listen, I do want to talk to you about this.
11:04
Speaker 1: This has been the first time experience for you doing
11:09
Speaker 1: reality television as a producer.
11:12
Speaker 4: Yes.
11:12
Speaker 1: When I watch you and you and my girlfriend Malika,
11:16
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with Olivia Knapp from their previous show.
11:19
Speaker 4: Yes.
11:20
Speaker 1: And I'm familiar with Nicole based on watching Wax Miami.
11:23
Speaker 1: But when it came to you, what I appreciate about
11:28
Speaker 1: you was the authenticity.
11:30
Speaker 2: And I never felt you were playing up for the camera.
11:33
Speaker 1: So I always felt like this is who she is.
11:35
Speaker 1: Some people obviously see things differently because you are so
11:39
Speaker 1: upfront and you are so blunt. When it comes to
11:43
Speaker 1: some of the feedback that you have received, people thinking
11:47
Speaker 1: you're mean, you're a bully, whatever.
11:49
Speaker 2: You are too harsh on Natalie. Calm down, girl. You're
11:53
Speaker 2: doing too much.
11:55
Speaker 1: Has that affected your confidence based on the reception the
12:00
Speaker 1: audience has?
12:01
Speaker 3: No, because I think, honestly, the next day, and like me, Malika,
12:06
Speaker 3: and Khadijah are like in a group chat, and I'm
12:09
Speaker 3: a little sarcastic, so I was going to respond and
12:11
Speaker 3: be funny, but I was like, oh, they don't really
12:13
Speaker 3: know my personality. It's going to just go even left.
12:15
Speaker 3: So I was like, let me just, tone it back
12:18
Speaker 3: and not say nothing but for me if you've ever
12:21
Speaker 3: met me if you've ever had a conversation with me
12:23
Speaker 3: if you've ever like had an interaction in person not
12:27
Speaker 3: just what you see what you see that's been edited
12:29
Speaker 3: down you'll know the type of person I am so
12:32
Speaker 3: for me I was like if it was people that
12:34
Speaker 3: knew me Saying stuff about me. It would bother me.
12:37
Speaker 3: Like the people that I love. Oh for sure. But everybody.
12:39
Speaker 3: Even from production. Production was in the comments. And I
12:42
Speaker 3: was like. I was laughing. And some of my friends.
12:45
Speaker 4: And I was like.
12:45
Speaker 3: You guys. Let it go.
12:46
Speaker 4: It's okay. And they love you.
12:48
Speaker 3: And they love me. And I'm professional. And I like.
12:50
Speaker 3: I have a good heart. And I'm not going to
12:52
Speaker 3: defend myself. With people that don't know me. They're going
12:54
Speaker 3: to have their opinion. And I knew that this was.
12:56
Speaker 3: Part of like. Going on TV. And having thick skin.
12:59
Speaker 3: And like. I knew that. I actually thought they were
13:01
Speaker 3: going to go. More in on like. my relationship or something.
13:04
Speaker 3: I told them, I'm like, oh my God, everyone's going
13:06
Speaker 3: to think she doesn't want to marry him. And I'm like,
13:08
Speaker 3: it's just, it's okay for me to take my time. Like,
13:11
Speaker 3: why do I have to, you know, just go off
13:14
Speaker 3: of what everybody else thinks? Like they don't live my
13:16
Speaker 3: life at the end of the day. And I have
13:18
Speaker 3: to live in my truth and my purpose. And what
13:20
Speaker 3: matters to me is the people that do know me
13:22
Speaker 3: that have had the interactions with me. You know, like
13:24
Speaker 3: I'm the type of person that talks, I talk to everybody.
13:26
Speaker 3: I'll be in the elevator. I'll talk to the most
13:28
Speaker 3: random person. Like I'm a people person. I love people.
13:30
Speaker 3: Like that is my thing.
13:33
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I was watching as well. So I, listen,
13:38
Speaker 1: I knew that by you being so vocal that, listen,
13:41
Speaker 1: this is my wheelhouse. So I knew that the audience
13:43
Speaker 1: would be split in terms of the reception. But I
13:46
Speaker 1: just wanted you to hear from me that I saw
13:48
Speaker 1: you being authentic. And even when you and Nat had
13:53
Speaker 1: the back and forth, prior to the show, you even
13:58
Speaker 1: said like, and I want you two to explain this.
14:02
Speaker 2: And Tim, if I got this.
14:03
Speaker 1: Wrong, I always felt that it's Chloe has her set
14:09
Speaker 1: of friends. Kylie has her set. Kim has her set.
14:13
Speaker 1: And that, yes, if you girls all together, then we're
14:16
Speaker 1: all together. But I just felt that when it came
14:20
Speaker 1: to Nat and Liv and Khadija chiming in too, that.
14:25
Speaker 2: You guys.
14:25
Speaker 1: Aren't as close with each other because of the different
14:31
Speaker 1: sisters who sort of are part of the friend group.
14:34
Speaker 4: Yeah.
14:34
Speaker 1: So do you feel like when it came to you
14:37
Speaker 1: and Nat specifically, and obviously you as well, were you surprised?
14:43
Speaker 2: Because I was.
14:44
Speaker 1: I was shocked how sensitive Natalie was.
14:50
Speaker 2: It threw me.
14:53
Speaker 1: Um, based on what I saw you being sarcastic, like, oh,
14:58
Speaker 1: you're an Aquarius.
14:59
Speaker 3: What bitch?
14:59
Speaker 2: I don't like Aquarius. I'm like, like we talk.
15:01
Speaker 3: And that got taken so out of context. Like one
15:03
Speaker 3: of my best friends is an Aquarius. So like that
15:05
Speaker 3: got taken so out of context, but. Yes, I was surprised.
15:09
Speaker 3: And me and Natalie have never had problems prior to this.
15:12
Speaker 3: And even while we were filming, it's natural conflict. Like,
15:15
Speaker 3: it's when you travel with somebody. By the way, Vegas
15:18
Speaker 3: was the first time we've all traveled together, okay? Also,
15:21
Speaker 3: working with people, like, you just see people in a
15:23
Speaker 3: different light, and that's okay. Like, everybody is different. She
15:27
Speaker 3: is more sensitive. I am more tough.
15:30
Speaker 4: Mind you, can I interject for a second?
15:32
Speaker 1: Yes, please.
15:33
Speaker 4: She didn't know how sensitive she was. So imagine we're
15:37
Speaker 4: all in this new scenario within our friend group, but
15:41
Speaker 4: now we're shooting a show together. Now you're noticing that like, oh,
15:45
Speaker 4: if I say, oh, bitch, please, like that hurt your feeling. Like,
15:47
Speaker 4: you know, like I didn't know that before. It never
15:50
Speaker 4: would have hurt your feeling. You're crying. I've actually never
15:52
Speaker 4: seen you cry. You're crying again. So it wasn't that
15:54
Speaker 4: she would speak like, oh, you're crying again. She's just like,
15:57
Speaker 4: what is hurting your feelings so bad that's driving all
16:00
Speaker 4: this emotion? So there was a lot of new on
16:02
Speaker 4: both sides. And me, they call me Switzerland, but I'm
16:07
Speaker 4: in it. I'm in it, but I'm not in it, right?
16:09
Speaker 4: I'm outside looking in, but I'm very much in it.
16:12
Speaker 4: And I'm looking at both sides and I get both sides.
16:14
Speaker 4: But for me, it was like, wow, we are learning
16:16
Speaker 4: the lessons and we are learning them in front of
16:19
Speaker 4: these cameras. They are going to love this. Or they're not, right?
16:22
Speaker 4: That's the way it goes. Like, you're going to win some,
16:25
Speaker 4: you're going to lose some. Everyone is not going to
16:27
Speaker 4: love you. And I don't really even think that's our objective.
16:30
Speaker 4: We really... are, like, people pleasers, but to the people
16:34
Speaker 4: that we love and trust. Like, you know what I mean? Like,
16:37
Speaker 4: we want those people to love us. We want our
16:38
Speaker 4: viewers to love us, of course. But, like, you can't
16:41
Speaker 4: win them all. And you're not supposed to fake who
16:43
Speaker 4: you are in order to, you know?
16:45
Speaker 3: I think that's the thing with me. It's like, I
16:47
Speaker 3: can't fake the funk.
16:48
Speaker 1: No.
16:48
Speaker 3: Like, I just, you'll see it all over my face. Like,
16:50
Speaker 3: I cannot fake the funk.
16:51
Speaker 2: Not a requirement.
16:52
Speaker 3: Also, I just feel like I'm not for everybody, and
16:54
Speaker 3: I know that. Or, like, even my relationship, like, the
16:57
Speaker 3: Vegas thing, I'm like, I do have boundaries in my relationship.
17:01
Speaker 3: Like it works for us. You know what I mean?
17:03
Speaker 3: Like it's, it's, there's a difference between having guys in
17:08
Speaker 3: your table and on your table.
17:09
Speaker 4: Like there's just, or literally standing on the booth, like
17:13
Speaker 4: on your table.
17:14
Speaker 3: But like also too, like if I'm taking time to
17:17
Speaker 3: go bond with my friends, like I don't want to
17:19
Speaker 3: go hang with 10 other guys like that's not fun
17:21
Speaker 3: to me that's disrespectful to my man and that's okay
17:24
Speaker 3: you know like that also the rules we were being
17:27
Speaker 3: funny about the rules at the table and then no
17:31
Speaker 3: one told me that they invited the guys to the
17:33
Speaker 3: section after so I was a little confused but you
17:35
Speaker 3: don't even see that like all the context you don't
17:38
Speaker 3: see that But there's just so much you don't see
17:40
Speaker 3: because it is edited down to four minutes or five minutes,
17:44
Speaker 3: you know?
17:44
Speaker 4: And that's because, you know, it's got to show a middle,
17:47
Speaker 4: a beginning, and an end, right? We're storytelling at the
17:50
Speaker 4: end of the day. Everything is not going to make it. Again,
17:53
Speaker 4: I think that's a part of her learning lesson. I
17:56
Speaker 4: think that's a consideration for people that are just watching. Like, fair,
18:02
Speaker 4: have your opinions. But, like, there's always so much more
18:05
Speaker 4: to the story, right? So it's like, enjoy the story
18:07
Speaker 4: for what it is and kind of, Try to have
18:09
Speaker 4: a little grace for us along the way because we're
18:13
Speaker 4: doing it and we want to love doing it. We
18:15
Speaker 4: want to have people love us, but we also understand
18:18
Speaker 4: you can't win them all.
18:19
Speaker 1: When it comes to that, you know, when I watched
18:21
Speaker 1: the show, there were conversations about there was this group
18:24
Speaker 1: chat that all of you girls were in. Now that
18:26
Speaker 1: the show has aired, is that group chat with the
18:30
Speaker 1: six of you girls activated?
18:32
Speaker 3: It is dry.
18:33
Speaker 1: It's dry.
18:33
Speaker 4: It's dry.
18:35
Speaker 3: It's dry.
18:36
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, it's dry, but I also feel like time heals.
18:39
Speaker 4: That's one of my mottos. It heals and it reveals
18:45
Speaker 4: and we'll just see where we end up. I think
18:48
Speaker 4: we put something great together. So I'm patient. I'm leaning
18:51
Speaker 4: on the positive that we'll jump right back where we
18:55
Speaker 4: left off.
18:56
Speaker 3: Our kids go to the same school, though. I did
18:58
Speaker 3: see Natalie this morning. It was the first day of school,
19:00
Speaker 3: you know?
19:00
Speaker 4: So our lives are really intertwined.
19:03
Speaker 2: Did y'all hug?
19:04
Speaker 4: Yeah.
19:04
Speaker 2: Okay.
19:06
Speaker 3: It's not war.
19:07
Speaker 4: It's not war.
19:07
Speaker 2: It's not war.
19:08
Speaker 4: I can say that.
19:10
Speaker 3: You know, our Nobu premiere... We had the best night ever.
19:14
Speaker 4: We had the best party.
19:14
Speaker 3: I wish that was filmed.
19:16
Speaker 4: All of us had the best time.
19:17
Speaker 1: Because.
19:18
Speaker 2: Together.
19:18
Speaker 3: I was seven martinis. And when I say we had
19:21
Speaker 3: the best night.
19:21
Speaker 2: Man had a blast.
19:22
Speaker 3: We had the best night that me and Troy was like,
19:25
Speaker 3: are you ready to go? I'm like, no, I'm having
19:26
Speaker 3: the best night ever. Didn't you leave and come back?
19:29
Speaker 4: We left and came back.
19:30
Speaker 3: We left and came back.
19:31
Speaker 4: And came back.
19:32
Speaker 3: I was like, this bitch is having the time of
19:33
Speaker 3: her life. We have to come back. And like we had,
19:36
Speaker 3: when I tell you the funnest night, the funnest night,
19:39
Speaker 3: all of us together. All of us together.
19:40
Speaker 2: Together.
19:41
Speaker 4: It was a real celebration for what we've done together.
19:44
Speaker 4: And I think that at the end of the day,
19:47
Speaker 4: that's the thing that matters the most. And that's where
19:49
Speaker 4: you stay. us come together because it is our lives.
19:52
Speaker 3: And we wanted a good show. And I think people
19:55
Speaker 3: are talking about it. People were entertained. The amount of
19:57
Speaker 3: people and industry people that have messaged me like, this
20:00
Speaker 3: is good. It was juicy. It was entertaining. And I'm like, great. Like,
20:03
Speaker 3: Thank you. That's what we got hired to do is
20:05
Speaker 3: to give you an entertaining show. So the fact that you,
20:07
Speaker 3: from a producer point POV, from like, you know, a talent, like,
20:11
Speaker 3: you're like, I was entertained. I'm like, that makes me
20:14
Speaker 3: feel good.
20:15
Speaker 1: I was happy.
20:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, she FaceTimed me.
20:16
Speaker 3: I know you would be honest.
20:17
Speaker 2: Okay, girl, what's tea?
20:18
Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, I'm here for it. And listen,
20:22
Speaker 1: Based on what's happening now, I think.
20:24
Speaker 2: Hi, Hulu.
20:26
Speaker 1: This is the reason why we need a second season.
20:28
Speaker 1: Because as a viewer, we want to see the girls
20:32
Speaker 1: come back together and try to figure stuff out.
20:34
Speaker 2: Because, look, it's sort of like the Kardashians.
20:37
Speaker 1: When you see Kourtney and Kim... physically get into it
20:42
Speaker 1: yeah and you know this having a sister you want
20:45
Speaker 1: to see the resolve like it was nice to see
20:47
Speaker 1: the resolve with the sisters and listen this is what
20:51
Speaker 1: you guys said this is the reality and what i
20:53
Speaker 1: want the world to know is that look reality sometimes
20:56
Speaker 1: is not pretty you know this going into it because
21:00
Speaker 1: listen you and malika obviously are twins and you guys
21:04
Speaker 1: are best friends Seeing you on this show, be so
21:09
Speaker 1: honest about, unfortunately, your 13-year marriage ending.
21:13
Speaker 2: And going through this divorce.
21:15
Speaker 4: Yeah.
21:16
Speaker 1: And having those conversations with your sister. Talk to me
21:22
Speaker 1: about that moment you and Malika are in the living room.
21:25
Speaker 3: And let.
21:27
Speaker 2: Me tell y'all something. In real life, Malika... Don't play
21:31
Speaker 2: no motherfucking games.
21:32
Speaker 4: No, ever.
21:33
Speaker 2: So as her friend, I'm watching this. I'm like, that's Malika.
21:36
Speaker 3: Yeah.
21:37
Speaker 1: You know, giving you tough love, but it comes from
21:39
Speaker 1: a place of like wanting you to be the best
21:42
Speaker 1: version of yourself.
21:43
Speaker 2: Yeah.
21:43
Speaker 1: But talk to me about that moment where you left
21:48
Speaker 1: the house, you're crying, and Khloe has to call you like.
21:53
Speaker 2: I spoke to your sister. Yeah. You know, but talk
21:56
Speaker 2: to me about that.
21:57
Speaker 4: This is what happens. I mean... I think that's another
22:00
Speaker 4: thing that was revealed were things kind of coming to
22:03
Speaker 4: a head. Naturally, I've been in a rebuilding season. And
22:08
Speaker 4: from the day I left my marital home with my children,
22:13
Speaker 4: my sister was there that day. She has been there
22:16
Speaker 4: every day since for myself and for all three of
22:19
Speaker 4: my kids. And she doesn't get a break. She doesn't
22:22
Speaker 4: choose to have a break. So I feel like we
22:26
Speaker 4: all got to watch Malika implode a little bit. We
22:29
Speaker 4: got to watch her kind of hit her peak of
22:33
Speaker 4: having to watch her sister go through something that has
22:37
Speaker 4: obviously been very hard for me and my family, but,
22:40
Speaker 4: you know, especially hard for her because we're twins and
22:43
Speaker 4: we're very close. And what happens to her happens to
22:46
Speaker 4: me and vice versa, you know? So I feel like
22:50
Speaker 4: I was able to put myself in a seat where
22:53
Speaker 4: it was like, this is going to be vulnerable, and
22:56
Speaker 4: I'm going to have to share one of the greatest
22:59
Speaker 4: fights of my life in front of the world, and
23:02
Speaker 4: I wouldn't choose a better suitor than my sister to
23:05
Speaker 4: be next to me because her armor is heavy. But
23:07
Speaker 4: she also knows when to go, enough is enough, and
23:11
Speaker 4: that's maybe not my strong suit, you know? And she is,
23:14
Speaker 4: because she is my protector, and you know that, she's
23:17
Speaker 4: going to be the first one to go, enough, not mine.
23:21
Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
23:22
Speaker 4: And now she's like, and not my babies. So I
23:25
Speaker 4: appreciate that while it's tough conversation. And Chloe says the
23:30
Speaker 4: same thing. You know, we love Malika because we know
23:33
Speaker 4: that that's what we're going to get from her. We
23:34
Speaker 4: know that no one can treat us or do anything
23:37
Speaker 4: to us without her going, excuse me, I love you
23:40
Speaker 4: and you don't deserve that. And let's, let's, she's a
23:43
Speaker 4: problem solver. That's the other thing. She's not a person
23:46
Speaker 4: that's just very opinionated about your life that you choose
23:50
Speaker 4: to share because She's a solution-based person. She's going to
23:54
Speaker 4: go in the trenches with you, does she not? And
23:56
Speaker 4: be like, this is what we're doing. And I mean
23:59
Speaker 4: we're because I'm with you and I'm with you. So
24:02
Speaker 4: I think while that was a harsh reality for me,
24:06
Speaker 4: it was one of the greatest blessings that comes from
24:10
Speaker 4: our relationship because my sister puts a battery in my
24:13
Speaker 4: back to be there for myself and to stand on
24:16
Speaker 4: my own two feet and to also continue to do
24:18
Speaker 4: that every day for my children.
24:22
Speaker 1: You were married for 13 years. Most women would stay
24:28
Speaker 1: in a marriage for that long when they have young children.
24:31
Speaker 4: Yeah.
24:32
Speaker 2: What made you want to file for divorce and leave
24:37
Speaker 2: that situation?
24:37
Speaker 4: In a nutshell, I believe that you can outgrow your relationship, marriage, friendships,
24:47
Speaker 4: anything of that sort. And I think when you just
24:50
Speaker 4: ultimately don't align... on what you want for yourself or
24:54
Speaker 4: what you want for your children. I think it's your
24:57
Speaker 4: right to make that decision. And I am a mommy first.
25:01
Speaker 4: So I think my decision was to choose the best
25:06
Speaker 4: life I believe I could give my children while I
25:10
Speaker 4: have struggled to do so. That is my reality. But
25:14
Speaker 4: I also come from a place, the grand scope for
25:17
Speaker 4: me is, I was a full-time wife and a full-time mother.
25:20
Speaker 4: Everybody saw Malika still chasing a career. I was at
25:23
Speaker 4: home making babies. In the course of 10 years, I
25:26
Speaker 4: had three. I don't regret it. That was my choice.
25:29
Speaker 4: But that became my full-time job.
25:32
Speaker 2: You gave up your career for your marriage.
25:34
Speaker 4: In a nutshell. I mean, the acting space can be fickle, right?
25:38
Speaker 4: You're employed one time, and then, you know, it could
25:42
Speaker 4: have a dry spell and you're not. But I chose
25:45
Speaker 4: to change. give my career a backseat. I wanted to
25:48
Speaker 4: be a wife. I wanted to be a mother. And
25:51
Speaker 4: I've done just that. And I'm so thankful. I love
25:54
Speaker 4: my babies. They are the most important thing to me.
25:57
Speaker 4: And that is the greatest thing I take from my marriage.
26:00
Speaker 4: And I think now the greatest fight is to provide
26:03
Speaker 4: the best life for them. And that requires them to
26:07
Speaker 4: have both parents play ball. That's it. That's the only
26:11
Speaker 4: thing I want for them is because They've had a
26:14
Speaker 4: certain type of life their whole lives, right? Like, we
26:17
Speaker 4: love our children. We try to give them the best educations.
26:20
Speaker 4: They've had a private school education that I've been able
26:22
Speaker 4: to afford for them because somebody else was taking care
26:24
Speaker 4: of everything else. Like, I believe still that their lives
26:28
Speaker 4: have changed. They shouldn't have to change too much, right?
26:31
Speaker 4: Everybody should still support them. Listen, you divorce or you
26:35
Speaker 4: break up with spouses. You don't divorce your responsibility to
26:38
Speaker 4: your children.
26:39
Speaker 2: And that's my fight.
26:42
Speaker 1: This is Reality with the King. And I'm Carlos King.
26:45
Speaker 1: Let's get back into the show. Okay, so let's talk
26:49
Speaker 1: about that really fast. And I would love to get
26:51
Speaker 1: you to chime in, too, because you obviously went through
26:53
Speaker 1: a divorce. We saw it on the show. But the
26:56
Speaker 1: blessing that we're seeing is the fact that you and
26:58
Speaker 1: your ex are friends.
27:00
Speaker 3: Yes.
27:01
Speaker 1: And you still are co-parenting along with your new relationship.
27:07
Speaker 1: When it comes to you, obviously, unfortunately, you're... Court documents
27:12
Speaker 1: have been revealed all over the blogs in terms of
27:15
Speaker 1: your financial status. Look, you read the comments. People think Khadijah,
27:23
Speaker 1: you know, look. What was happening? You're Khloe Kardashian's best friend.
27:31
Speaker 1: You are Malika Hawke's sister. Why do you need this
27:34
Speaker 1: man to provide for anything? Can't Khloe give you money?
27:37
Speaker 1: You're making money.
27:38
Speaker 2: Off the show.
27:38
Speaker 3: The comments.
27:41
Speaker 2: Right? We see that you're.
27:43
Speaker 1: Soon-to-be ex-husband is countering the spousal support that you are requesting.
27:49
Speaker 1: What do you say to people who feel like, listen,
27:52
Speaker 1: is this a gold digger situation? Is this a woman
27:55
Speaker 1: who is trying to get the pockets of her, you know, ex-husband?
28:02
Speaker 1: What do you say to people who really do believe
28:04
Speaker 1: that why are you fighting for something when you're the
28:07
Speaker 1: one who filed?
28:08
Speaker 4: Well, I didn't file for divorce. He did. for the record. Yes,
28:13
Speaker 4: I separated, but he filed for divorce. So I have
28:17
Speaker 4: a firm stance in finish what you started. At the
28:21
Speaker 4: end of the day, it doesn't matter whether him and
28:23
Speaker 4: I are together or what we agree on. He has
28:26
Speaker 4: his side of the story. I have mine. And the
28:29
Speaker 4: truth lies in children have to eat. Children have, you know,
28:34
Speaker 4: their responsibilities, needs, necessities, and their own little wants that
28:39
Speaker 4: I believe they should never go without. So it's meant
28:43
Speaker 4: me sacrificing and struggling along the way. And this is, granted,
28:49
Speaker 4: what everybody's getting is like what's happened over the course
28:51
Speaker 4: of three years, right? I'm not where I once was.
28:54
Speaker 4: I'm blessed to have this show as an opportunity. But
28:57
Speaker 4: that doesn't change that I'm going to do my part
29:01
Speaker 4: as a parent and that someone else has to also
29:03
Speaker 4: carry theirs. So A part of what you see in
29:05
Speaker 4: the show is just kind of the driving force to go, well,
29:09
Speaker 4: if we can't figure out just us amicably, we've tried
29:13
Speaker 4: that for too long. That is putting a strain on
29:15
Speaker 4: me when I am solely responsible for the children. So
29:19
Speaker 4: now we have to let somebody get involved. That's really
29:21
Speaker 4: where I am with it.
29:23
Speaker 1: Does it bother you when people look at you and
29:29
Speaker 1: they just assume like, you're Chloe's best friend.
29:34
Speaker 2: You should be rich. I think it's weird. Khloe gives you...
29:38
Speaker 2: I think that's weird.
29:39
Speaker 3: I should not count your home as pocket.
29:42
Speaker 4: Somebody else's money.
29:43
Speaker 2: But I'm sure you've seen this. People really do think, like,
29:46
Speaker 2: doesn't Khloe give you an allowance?
29:48
Speaker 4: That's weird.
29:49
Speaker 3: That is.
29:50
Speaker 4: And then to your point, that... then I look at
29:54
Speaker 4: the blessing that is like, and then my best friend
29:56
Speaker 4: was also able to create a show where I can
29:59
Speaker 4: make a payday that most people don't make in a year. Like,
30:03
Speaker 4: you know, like, so it's like, so what.
30:05
Speaker 3: Side of it are you on? In five weeks.
30:06
Speaker 2: Right.
30:07
Speaker 4: It's weird. And I've also continued to get up and
30:10
Speaker 4: have odd jobs that people don't know about. I am
30:12
Speaker 4: a hustler. I come from a mother that raised five
30:15
Speaker 4: kids by herself. I know the cloth and what it takes,
30:18
Speaker 4: but I also know that I didn't get here by myself, right?
30:23
Speaker 4: So if it's just a moment in time, then everybody
30:26
Speaker 4: is seeing what the moment in time has been like
30:28
Speaker 4: for me. None other business, but I also know, I
30:30
Speaker 4: was advised legally, it becomes a public document, right? I
30:35
Speaker 4: don't have anything to hide. This has been my truth.
30:38
Speaker 4: And at the end of the day, yeah, maybe I
30:40
Speaker 4: don't want my kids to have to see it play
30:42
Speaker 4: out like this, but I'm a little hogtied. My back's
30:46
Speaker 4: up against the wall and it has been for a
30:48
Speaker 4: while now. And so I want to finish it. I
30:50
Speaker 4: want to finish it. I want to move on with
30:52
Speaker 4: my life like everybody else does. I want my children
30:54
Speaker 4: to be happy. I want them to feel like they
30:56
Speaker 4: have everything they need from everybody that should provide it.
31:00
Speaker 3: And that's it.
31:01
Speaker 1: No, I think it's disgusting when the world judges women
31:04
Speaker 1: for choosing themselves. And I think it's disgusting that we
31:07
Speaker 1: live in a world where Women who desire to be
31:12
Speaker 1: a mother, that's a full-time job.
31:14
Speaker 3: Yeah.
31:15
Speaker 1: And when you are the wife of an athlete, that's
31:17
Speaker 1: another full-time job with the preparation for what that means.
31:22
Speaker 1: And the fact that you're only divorcing the man, you're
31:25
Speaker 1: not divorcing the responsibilities.
31:27
Speaker 4: Right.
31:28
Speaker 1: And I wish people can separate the two. And understand that, look,
31:32
Speaker 1: and I was chiming on this one because what advice
31:36
Speaker 1: do you two give women when you are going through
31:40
Speaker 1: a situation like this and you want to be able
31:45
Speaker 1: to be a full-time mom, but you also have to
31:48
Speaker 1: make money for your children so that you're not in
31:53
Speaker 1: a situation where.
31:55
Speaker 1: You have to go to court for the man to
31:58
Speaker 1: do his responsibility.
32:00
Speaker 4: Yeah.
32:01
Speaker 1: Like, I watch the show and I read the comments
32:04
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what Khadijah is slowly doing is saying,
32:08
Speaker 1: we both have these kids.
32:10
Speaker 2: They, I don't want their life to change so much.
32:14
Speaker 1: Yeah.
32:14
Speaker 2: Based on their parents not being together.
32:17
Speaker 1: Yeah. And you made the choice to... put your career
32:21
Speaker 1: on the back burner to be a mom. And as
32:24
Speaker 1: a boy who was raised with a mother that was
32:26
Speaker 1: a housewife, you know, I have nine siblings.
32:29
Speaker 2: There are 10 of us. I am who I am.
32:32
Speaker 4: Yeah.
32:33
Speaker 2: Because my mother made.
32:34
Speaker 1: The sole sacrifice to choose her children versus her career.
32:39
Speaker 1: And that's why all 10 of us have careers of
32:41
Speaker 1: our own because our mother made that sacrifice. And it
32:45
Speaker 1: bothers me that people don't see that. So Iris, even
32:48
Speaker 1: for you, like, Does your strength and your ability to really,
32:54
Speaker 1: like you say, like you are this like boss woman
32:57
Speaker 1: of the empire.
32:57
Speaker 2: Did a lot of that have to do with the.
32:59
Speaker 1: Fact that, you know, we saw you coming from immigrant parents. Yeah.
33:04
Speaker 2: I love the moments of you and El Salvador with
33:06
Speaker 2: your parents.
33:06
Speaker 3: Yeah.
33:07
Speaker 1: Did a lot of that come to the fact that
33:09
Speaker 1: post-divorce that you were like?
33:11
Speaker 3: No. So I was like, I always loved to work.
33:16
Speaker 3: The minute I was 15, I had a little job.
33:19
Speaker 3: I've done everything. Pinkberry, Crocs. I used to work. I
33:24
Speaker 3: couldn't wait to work. Like, I was in high school
33:26
Speaker 3: and I used to tell my dad, like, I can't
33:27
Speaker 3: wait to work. Like, it's just, it's in my blood.
33:30
Speaker 4: It's the hustle.
33:31
Speaker 3: I used to have him take me to go buy
33:32
Speaker 3: hot Cheetos at Smart and Fine and I would sell
33:34
Speaker 3: them for a dollar. Like, it's always been in me.
33:36
Speaker 3: And I never wanted to stop that. Even when I
33:41
Speaker 3: got married, like, and every partner that I've had has
33:44
Speaker 3: known that, like, she's not going to stop. And I
33:47
Speaker 3: wanted to be that person where I'm like... I can
33:49
Speaker 3: be the mom. I can be a boss. I can
33:51
Speaker 3: help my family because for me, it's like, that's, that's
33:54
Speaker 3: what I'm carrying. I'm like, I need to help my family,
33:57
Speaker 3: like my brother, my sister, like everybody, you know? So
34:00
Speaker 3: I'm the one in my family that's like beating the odds.
34:04
Speaker 3: So for me, I feel like it's a personal thing,
34:06
Speaker 3: but every woman is different. Like, I love the women
34:09
Speaker 3: that are like, I don't want to work. I just
34:10
Speaker 3: want to be at home with my kids, you know? Great.
34:12
Speaker 3: For me, I have a balance. Like I don't, it
34:15
Speaker 3: was so important for me to be an entrepreneur because
34:17
Speaker 3: I didn't want to miss my kids' school events. I
34:20
Speaker 3: wanted to be a super present mom, but I also
34:22
Speaker 3: still wanted to chase the bag and have money coming in,
34:25
Speaker 3: you know? And so like, I'm the person that encourages, like,
34:28
Speaker 3: even when I got with Troy and like, you know, I,
34:31
Speaker 3: I got around all the basketball wives and I, I'm
34:34
Speaker 3: friends with a lot of them. I'm the one in
34:36
Speaker 3: their ears, like, okay, let's invest something for you too,
34:38
Speaker 3: just in case. Like, I'm always that person because I
34:41
Speaker 3: really pushed that because you just never know. Um, what
34:45
Speaker 3: can happen, you know, like nothing is for sure. And
34:50
Speaker 3: I really push that like women should also have something
34:52
Speaker 3: for them. And I want to say something about Khadijah
34:54
Speaker 3: because the whole gold digging narrative, like let's kill that.
34:58
Speaker 3: She works multiple jobs, you know, like that's the craziest
35:03
Speaker 3: statement that people have made about her because they, they,
35:06
Speaker 3: her and Malik are truly very much hustlers. Like they
35:10
Speaker 3: are about their babies and their business and, You know,
35:14
Speaker 3: it's grind time. Thank you. And we're really on the grind,
35:16
Speaker 3: like all of us.
35:18
Speaker 4: And I think a lot of that, and it's not
35:19
Speaker 4: to defend anybody because people will always have chatter. I
35:22
Speaker 4: think it just also comes from just the lack of
35:27
Speaker 4: empathy for like other people and their lives and the
35:30
Speaker 4: stuff you don't know, right? We put ourselves in front
35:33
Speaker 4: of these cameras and I've been doing that my whole
35:35
Speaker 4: entire life. So I get it. You have the public
35:39
Speaker 4: piece and people think that they know I'm not so
35:43
Speaker 4: much worried about that. I tell you this all the time.
35:45
Speaker 4: I don't do comments. Because it's not people that know me.
35:48
Speaker 4: They don't know my true heart. They don't know my space.
35:51
Speaker 4: They don't know my peace. I am blessed to be
35:54
Speaker 4: where I am. I'm thankful for that. And that has
35:58
Speaker 4: to be my focus because I still have to get
36:00
Speaker 4: up and have the right mind and a functioning mind
36:03
Speaker 4: and a healthy one to do what I have to do,
36:06
Speaker 4: which is carrying three children on my back. up a hill.
36:11
Speaker 4: That's been really, really hard for me, but I can
36:14
Speaker 4: do it and I'm capable of that. And so it's
36:16
Speaker 4: like the chatter along the way is just something that
36:18
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, okay.
36:19
Speaker 3: And I think that's the thing too. I think people
36:21
Speaker 3: don't think that we're actually busy. Like we shot this
36:24
Speaker 3: show in five weeks. We only had one or two
36:26
Speaker 3: days off. We were shooting eight, nine hour days. Personally
36:30
Speaker 3: for me on my two days off, I was shooting
36:31
Speaker 3: the podcast. I was launching a brand. Like it was
36:35
Speaker 3: It was so chaotic.
36:36
Speaker 4: It was crazy.
36:36
Speaker 3: Like, so chaotic.
36:37
Speaker 4: We would look at each other sometimes in between scenes
36:39
Speaker 4: and go, I'm so tired.
36:40
Speaker 3: But people are like, they're not that busy. I'm like,
36:42
Speaker 3: are you guys okay? Like, we just shot a whole
36:44
Speaker 3: show in five weeks, okay?
36:46
Speaker 4: No, I remember seeing her one scene we pull up
36:48
Speaker 4: together and— And she looked at me and she was like, bro,
36:51
Speaker 4: I'm so tired.
36:53
Speaker 3: I've been up since 5.30. She was like, I had.
36:54
Speaker 4: No idea filming a show was like this. And I said, well,
36:58
Speaker 4: I think because people just get to see the finished product.
37:02
Speaker 4: They don't get to see the, you know, so it's
37:03
Speaker 4: like you kind of want to be, you give grace
37:05
Speaker 4: to what people don't understand. It's just when they try
37:08
Speaker 4: to go at you so hard in the personal space
37:10
Speaker 4: and it's like, well, don't do too much in that
37:13
Speaker 4: area because that's the piece you don't know too, you know?
37:17
Speaker 4: It comes with the territory.
37:18
Speaker 1: And I also, listen, I don't think the audience also
37:21
Speaker 1: understands the mental work it does to film.
37:26
Speaker 2: Like physically, yes, you got to be either exhausted, but
37:30
Speaker 2: The audience.
37:31
Speaker 1: Will never understand mentally having to be present, have conversations,
37:37
Speaker 1: be in these moments.
37:38
Speaker 2: And there's cameras in front of you.
37:40
Speaker 1: And yes, you're ignoring the cameras, but it's still in
37:44
Speaker 1: your peripheral.
37:44
Speaker 4: There's a demand.
37:45
Speaker 1: You know, and the mental gymnastics you have to do.
37:49
Speaker 1: That's why even in the finale, when you and Nat
37:52
Speaker 1: were trying to, you know, like, just have a resolve.
37:57
Speaker 2: And it just wasn't getting to that point. And you
38:01
Speaker 2: were like, fuck this.
38:03
Speaker 1: Like, I'm not trying to, like, have this be something
38:06
Speaker 1: where I'm the bitch.
38:06
Speaker 2: Like, I'm not doing that.
38:08
Speaker 3: Well, because with Natalie, and I will say, I really
38:09
Speaker 3: wanted to have a conversation off camera because I didn't
38:12
Speaker 3: want it to be weird on camera. So I had
38:15
Speaker 3: sent her that text, which she says in episode, I
38:18
Speaker 3: think it's five. But we never got a chance to
38:21
Speaker 3: speak off a camera. So that's why when we were speaking,
38:24
Speaker 3: I think it was, it was rough. It was a buildup,
38:27
Speaker 3: you know? But yeah, like you're, the cameras are on
38:31
Speaker 3: all the time and some people are more aware because
38:34
Speaker 3: they've done it before. Some of us You think the
38:37
Speaker 3: camera's not on you?
38:38
Speaker 4: And we're having side conversations. You're still mic'd.
38:43
Speaker 3: Your mic is on. And then they use that.
38:45
Speaker 2: You know, it's a lot, though.
38:47
Speaker 4: It's the game, you know?
38:48
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, listen, I'm fully aware of it. So I
38:51
Speaker 1: want to get to you and Troy. First of all,
38:54
Speaker 1: the ring.
38:54
Speaker 4: The rock.
38:55
Speaker 3: I need to clean it, but he did a good job.
38:58
Speaker 2: Okay, so....
39:01
Speaker 1: What's the status of you and Troy?
39:03
Speaker 2: Because you know what he's doing.
39:04
Speaker 3: Do I say it now or do we wait for
39:06
Speaker 3: season two? Do we think there's a season two? I
39:08
Speaker 3: don't know. I love it. Give it to me.
39:12
Speaker 2: Gotta give it to me. Are you engaged to be married?
39:15
Speaker 3: A hundred percent. Those are always my intentions. And I
39:19
Speaker 3: love my man. And he is such a team player.
39:22
Speaker 2: And he's fine.
39:23
Speaker 3: And he's fine. And he's such a good dad. He's
39:27
Speaker 3: such a good present dad to all of his kids.
39:30
Speaker 3: And we're in it for the long run. And we
39:34
Speaker 3: have a plan. And we're not going to rush our
39:36
Speaker 3: plan for nobody.
39:38
Speaker 1: When the audience saw you set up live with your ex-husband,
39:46
Speaker 1: you know, some people thought it was weird. I thought like, okay, like, listen,
39:51
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, it shows that she's like, we're
39:54
Speaker 1: all family.
39:55
Speaker 3: Like, listen, the thing is, I don't think people understand either.
39:59
Speaker 3: Like we're really good friends. Like, Troy and Steph text
40:03
Speaker 3: each other all the time. We were just all together
40:05
Speaker 3: this morning. Like, we do holidays together. We've done New
40:08
Speaker 3: Year's together, Halloween. Like, we've done trips together. Like, we're
40:11
Speaker 3: really good friends. So, and yes, Steph has dated other people,
40:16
Speaker 3: but it hasn't been serious enough for him to introduce
40:18
Speaker 3: Ayla to. Because that's important. And Olivia being one of
40:21
Speaker 3: our friends who also, like, She thought by this time
40:25
Speaker 3: she'd be married and have kids and she's going to
40:27
Speaker 3: be a great mom. Like I literally said this to her.
40:29
Speaker 4: I thought it was a genius idea.
40:32
Speaker 2: So I loved it.
40:33
Speaker 4: I was like, why?
40:34
Speaker 3: The older we get.
40:35
Speaker 4: This is genius.
40:36
Speaker 3: And they kissed.
40:37
Speaker 4: Yeah.
40:38
Speaker 3: They were vibing.
40:39
Speaker 4: Yeah.
40:40
Speaker 3: By the way.
40:40
Speaker 4: I think they probably always had an eye.
40:43
Speaker 3: By the way.
40:44
Speaker 4: And she picked up on it.
40:45
Speaker 3: Period.
40:45
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this.
40:48
Speaker 1: To Khadija's point, did you pick up on some subtle
40:52
Speaker 1: vibe that made you say, try this out?
40:54
Speaker 3: No, I didn't. I just think Olivia's stunning. I think
40:57
Speaker 3: she's going to be the best mom. And also... We
41:01
Speaker 3: set them up on one date. The dates after that
41:03
Speaker 3: was on them. So they were clearly vibing. You know
41:06
Speaker 3: what I mean? Like the kiss. Nobody told you to kiss.
41:07
Speaker 4: But didn't, but Steph said it though. Like she asked
41:10
Speaker 4: at the dinner.
41:11
Speaker 3: They are each other's date. Like didn't you guys, like did.
41:13
Speaker 4: You ever think of me like that? And he was
41:15
Speaker 4: kind of like, yeah.
41:17
Speaker 3: She's a beautiful, she's stunning.
41:18
Speaker 4: She's gorgeous and she's sweet and she's funny.
41:21
Speaker 3: And she's like whoever gets her.
41:24
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, he won the jackpot. So that's why
41:27
Speaker 4: I was like, great. Why not staff? It keeps it
41:30
Speaker 4: right here.
41:30
Speaker 2: With our family. And you get an A-line?
41:32
Speaker 3: When we get older, the dating pool gets smaller. You know,
41:35
Speaker 3: like all my single friends are like, I don't know
41:37
Speaker 3: where I'm going to meet a man. I don't know
41:38
Speaker 3: where I'm going to meet a man.
41:38
Speaker 4: Our dating pool is smaller.
41:39
Speaker 3: So I was like, hello, there's two single people here.
41:42
Speaker 3: Let's just give it a try. And then we're all
41:44
Speaker 3: one big happy blended family. That was my thought. I
41:47
Speaker 3: didn't think it was weird at all. But everybody has
41:49
Speaker 3: their own opinions.
41:50
Speaker 1: Are they still like seeing each other or?
41:55
Speaker 4: No, I think they just, they kept it friends, right? Yeah. Yeah.
41:58
Speaker 4: I think they just decided. I think Olivia like genuine.
42:02
Speaker 3: For Ayla's stepmom.
42:03
Speaker 4: Yes. Maybe that's the next show.
42:06
Speaker 2: Right. That's a spinoff of the spinoff. But no, I
42:10
Speaker 2: thought that was so interesting.
42:12
Speaker 1: Just seeing that you were so cool to do that.
42:16
Speaker 2: But that's why I got your humor.
42:17
Speaker 1: Like, I looked at you and I was like.
42:20
Speaker 3: She's interesting.
42:21
Speaker 2: I'm so chill, by the way.
42:22
Speaker 3: I'm, like, very sarcastic, too. So it's like.
42:25
Speaker 4: But it's funny, though.
42:26
Speaker 3: But it's funny. But, like, people that don't know me,
42:29
Speaker 3: you wouldn't get it. You know? So, like, you have
42:31
Speaker 3: to get to know me. You don't know me. And
42:33
Speaker 3: one season wasn't enough.
42:34
Speaker 1: Yeah.
42:35
Speaker 2: Well, that's probably on the second season.
42:36
Speaker 1: Speaking of people not getting to know you, I did
42:38
Speaker 1: ask your sister Malika this on my podcast years ago,
42:41
Speaker 1: and I wanted to ask you this. You know, there
42:43
Speaker 1: is this perception that the Black community have of you
42:46
Speaker 1: and Malika.
42:47
Speaker 2: Not all, but some.
42:48
Speaker 3: Okay.
42:49
Speaker 1: In terms of the Valley Girl Boys, you know, are
42:52
Speaker 1: they whitewashed? You know, are they, you know, are they
42:58
Speaker 1: in the Black community in a way that they understand
43:02
Speaker 1: their community better? And I wanted to ask you that because, listen,
43:06
Speaker 1: what we know about you is your soon-to-be ex-husband is.
43:09
Speaker 2: A black man.
43:10
Speaker 4: Mm-hmm. I got me some black babies.
43:13
Speaker 2: You know, you got some black, okay. You know what
43:16
Speaker 2: I mean?
43:16
Speaker 1: But I'm sure you've heard the conversation surrounding that.
43:21
Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's been trickled a little bit
43:25
Speaker 4: over the years, but I also think that people think
43:27
Speaker 4: me and Malika are from Atlanta. Like, I don't think
43:30
Speaker 4: that people really pay attention to like, no, that was acting.
43:33
Speaker 4: I had to practice that accent. This is how, we
43:37
Speaker 4: were born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, right?
43:40
Speaker 4: So I think that ignorance goes, you talk like a
43:43
Speaker 4: white girl and your best friend happens to be one.
43:46
Speaker 4: I think it's like you just kind of circulate and
43:48
Speaker 4: like make this weird. It just, it doesn't stick. I
43:51
Speaker 4: come from a black mother that is proud, that has
43:54
Speaker 4: always taught me history and heritage. And I'm doing the
43:57
Speaker 4: exact same thing for my children. But we go, I
44:01
Speaker 4: put them in schools that look like United Nations. I
44:04
Speaker 4: want them around everything, right? I want them to love everything,
44:07
Speaker 4: and that's exactly how I am. So it's like I
44:10
Speaker 4: wasn't born in the South.
44:12
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
44:13
Speaker 4: And I have a little bit of everything. My family
44:15
Speaker 4: is black. That's it. But also my family is white, purple, pink, green, gray, salvy. Like,
44:22
Speaker 4: you know, it's everything for me. Me and Malik have
44:25
Speaker 4: never been a set of twins you could put in
44:28
Speaker 4: a box. Maybe that's because they can't understand it entirely,
44:32
Speaker 4: but there's no— whitewash. I think that's so ignorant. But
44:36
Speaker 4: that's just my perception.
44:37
Speaker 2: No, it is.
44:38
Speaker 3: No, it is.
44:38
Speaker 4: I would never say that about anybody. What is it?
44:40
Speaker 4: You sound educated. Well, my mother was a school teacher.
44:43
Speaker 4: We weren't allowed to use slang. It was E-R. And
44:47
Speaker 4: you're like, I got corrected if I said something wrong. Like,
44:50
Speaker 4: you know, so I think it's a makeup and we
44:52
Speaker 4: come from a world or a reality even more so now.
44:56
Speaker 4: Our best friend being Khloe Kardashian. But this is how
45:00
Speaker 4: I was when I first met her when I was
45:02
Speaker 4: 16 years old. You know what I mean? So it's
45:04
Speaker 4: It's not to answer or to even try to defend that,
45:08
Speaker 4: but I think hopefully that helps the narrative.
45:11
Speaker 2: A little bit.
45:11
Speaker 4: I don't know.
45:12
Speaker 2: Listen, I think it's crazy because.
45:17
Speaker 1: One thing that I know about you girls is the
45:20
Speaker 1: fact that you guys are so real. And that's why
45:22
Speaker 1: I was so happy when I learned that you guys
45:25
Speaker 1: were doing the show, because I do think there is
45:28
Speaker 1: such this gross... misconception about you two that I'm like,
45:33
Speaker 1: I know them in real life and you guys just
45:35
Speaker 1: have it, you have it all wrong.
45:37
Speaker 2: But at the same time, like, look on one end,
45:40
Speaker 2: I get it.
45:41
Speaker 1: If I can, if I only pay attention to what
45:44
Speaker 1: I'm watching or being shown, but you got to dig
45:47
Speaker 1: deeper in terms of like really getting to know somebody
45:50
Speaker 1: before you make ignorant comments.
45:52
Speaker 4: And that's just what it is. It's what you don't know.
45:55
Speaker 4: But I, you know, again, mommy first. I am teaching
45:59
Speaker 4: my kids not to put people in a box and
46:01
Speaker 4: to view one person one way and to assume anything
46:05
Speaker 4: or to stand on judgment because of that. But that's
46:07
Speaker 4: also the way of the world. So I can't tackle that.
46:11
Speaker 4: I won't even attempt to.
46:13
Speaker 2: Are you in the.
46:17
Speaker 1: World of possibilities trying to like date?
46:23
Speaker 4: Not yet. Not yet. I feel like I'm a person
46:26
Speaker 4: that wants to cross the T's and dot the I's.
46:30
Speaker 4: And I also don't know.
46:32
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know.
46:33
Speaker 4: Do guys date people that are still married?
46:35
Speaker 2: Yes.
46:36
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe just on paper, but, you know.
46:38
Speaker 2: Yes, they do. And they do. Okay.
46:40
Speaker 4: But I also just feel like this new phase of
46:45
Speaker 4: my life, I call this my new world, like, it's
46:47
Speaker 4: going to be interesting for me because I don't see
46:50
Speaker 4: myself easily introducing my children. Like, they're amazing. You got
46:54
Speaker 4: to earn that. And I don't even know what that
46:56
Speaker 4: would look like for me, right? Like you go into
46:58
Speaker 4: marriage and creating a family and having a life and
47:01
Speaker 4: looking at that being the end all to be all.
47:03
Speaker 4: So now that I'm sitting in my new space, rebuilding
47:07
Speaker 4: myself and rebuilding a life for me and my children,
47:09
Speaker 4: I don't know what that's going to look like. He'd
47:12
Speaker 4: have to be really amazing, though.
47:14
Speaker 2: I think this. I think this. And please chime in, Iris,
47:17
Speaker 2: because you know what it's like to go through divorce.
47:20
Speaker 2: My advice to you is this. I think... Have fun.
47:24
Speaker 2: I don't think trying to look for anything serious.
47:28
Speaker 1: No. I think going through something for 13 years, just
47:31
Speaker 1: a marriage partner, even dating prior to that. I want
47:35
Speaker 1: women who are going through a divorce who have children.
47:40
Speaker 1: My biggest advice, and yes, I'm a gay man saying this,
47:43
Speaker 1: but I have a lot of female friends, right?
47:46
Speaker 2: I want more women to choose them. Yeah. You know
47:50
Speaker 2: what I mean?
47:50
Speaker 3: God, I love you. I literally say that all the
47:53
Speaker 3: time because men do it all the time. So why
47:57
Speaker 3: does it feel wrong when we choose us too? And
48:01
Speaker 3: I think like, there's a weird stigma.
48:03
Speaker 2: There's, there's, we're.
48:04
Speaker 3: So judgmental on women about everything. And like, It's hard
48:09
Speaker 3: for women like we have to do. We wear multiple
48:11
Speaker 3: hats all the time, you know. But I think like
48:13
Speaker 3: when you're freshly divorced, too, it's when you're not looking
48:17
Speaker 3: when it happens. You know, like my biggest focus was
48:20
Speaker 3: my daughter, my work, me making like self-care.
48:23
Speaker 4: I'm a tourist.
48:24
Speaker 3: So like self-care is like big. I'm at the spa
48:26
Speaker 3: once a week. I'm doing everything. Like, that is a priority.
48:30
Speaker 3: Because if I don't feel good, if I don't look good,
48:32
Speaker 3: if I can't function, I can't be the best version
48:35
Speaker 3: of me. So, like, Troy knows, like, it's really important
48:38
Speaker 3: for me to have my support into me.
48:41
Speaker 2: You know?
48:42
Speaker 3: And I know I'm important to you, too, baby. Go golf.
48:45
Speaker 3: Go do the thing.
48:46
Speaker 4: You have to.
48:46
Speaker 3: You have to feel good and do things.
48:49
Speaker 2: And you know how they say happy wife, happy life?
48:52
Speaker 1: One thing I will say, don't underestimate the intelligence of
48:56
Speaker 1: your children.
48:56
Speaker 3: Yeah.
48:57
Speaker 1: Because I know when I look back on my childhood,
49:02
Speaker 1: my fondest memories is when my mother was in her
49:05
Speaker 1: happiest state.
49:06
Speaker 4: Yes. And I remember that as well. Like I said,
49:09
Speaker 4: my mother raised five kids by herself. Our parents divorced
49:13
Speaker 4: when we were really young. And I watched all of
49:16
Speaker 4: the phases. I didn't even realize. And I think that's
49:20
Speaker 4: so much why I broke down crying even on the
49:23
Speaker 4: show with my mother. Like I thought generationally I was
49:26
Speaker 4: doing something different. I didn't want my kids to have
49:29
Speaker 4: to live in a broken home or visit dad and
49:32
Speaker 4: then visit mom. Like I didn't want that to be
49:34
Speaker 4: their reality. But I think That's just it. We don't
49:38
Speaker 4: always get to choose. I believe God has something else
49:40
Speaker 4: in store for me and my children. And as long
49:43
Speaker 4: as I'm being the best version of myself and I
49:46
Speaker 4: had the blueprint of that, then I think we're going
49:50
Speaker 4: to be just fine.
49:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Iris, does Troy have any single friends that
49:55
Speaker 1: you can.
49:56
Speaker 2: You're a great matchmaker, babe.
49:57
Speaker 3: We've explored... Most of his guys are married.
50:01
Speaker 2: Okay, well, good for them. Yeah, well, good for them.
50:05
Speaker 1: Okay, they're off the table, off the market. We gotta
50:08
Speaker 1: find somebody. Are there any, like, good black men in
50:11
Speaker 1: Calabasas in the San Fernando Valley area that I can
50:14
Speaker 1: hook my girl up with?
50:15
Speaker 4: I don't know.
50:16
Speaker 3: I don't know.
50:18
Speaker 2: We got to figure this out, Iris.
50:19
Speaker 3: Get in the comments, please.
50:21
Speaker 2: Carlos King. We got to figure this out. You're a
50:24
Speaker 2: good matchmaker.
50:25
Speaker 1: If there's any single black man who are gay that's
50:29
Speaker 1: open that you know for me.
50:31
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm just going to start.
50:33
Speaker 3: I'm going to create an app and it's just going
50:35
Speaker 3: to be like a legit matchmaking thing.
50:38
Speaker 4: The good picks only.
50:40
Speaker 2: Make some good picks. No, listen. You're good at this.
50:42
Speaker 2: You're good at this. Now, look.
50:44
Speaker 4: It's another business for you.
50:46
Speaker 2: Listen. I love it. I love it. I love it.
50:49
Speaker 3: Matchmaking.
50:49
Speaker 1: I know you're worth millions, babe, but we don't mind
50:53
Speaker 1: another set of millions for a new business.
50:56
Speaker 4: She's not stopping.
50:57
Speaker 3: 3 a.m. I text them ideas all the time. My
51:01
Speaker 3: mind just, it doesn't shut down. Like, Troy, something's like, babe, like,
51:05
Speaker 3: come on.
51:05
Speaker 1: Unplug.
51:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm like, I don't know how to unplug.
51:09
Speaker 3: It's okay.
51:10
Speaker 2: Don't do it. Don't do it.
51:12
Speaker 4: Keep going.
51:12
Speaker 2: Keep going. That's what you do.
51:13
Speaker 4: You keep going.
51:14
Speaker 3: It like fuels me. You know, like my kids make
51:17
Speaker 3: me happy. We were fishing two days ago because before
51:21
Speaker 3: my kids went back to school, I was like, let's
51:22
Speaker 3: go fishing. So we were fishing randomly.
51:24
Speaker 4: I love that.
51:26
Speaker 3: And I took a call and the girl wanted to
51:29
Speaker 3: see my face. It was a business call. And I
51:31
Speaker 3: was like, sorry, I'm fishing with my kids. She's like,
51:33
Speaker 3: I love this. I was like, this is my office today.
51:35
Speaker 3: But like, I love that. Like that makes me happy,
51:38
Speaker 3: you know?
51:39
Speaker 2: No, we want to see that.
51:40
Speaker 3: And my kids know that. My kids, I'm like, mommy's
51:42
Speaker 3: going to take the Zoom.
51:43
Speaker 4: Working.
51:43
Speaker 3: You know, they know that.
51:45
Speaker 2: So look, before I let you girls go, we have
51:47
Speaker 2: to do this. Okay? Oh, no.
51:51
Speaker 1: In the event, there's a season two because I'm going
51:55
Speaker 1: to start a petition.
51:57
Speaker 4: Okay.
51:59
Speaker 2: So Hulu, Khloe... Check your email.
52:04
Speaker 1: So, Carlos King's petition is this. I want a second
52:10
Speaker 1: season shot immediately. School has started. I need to see them,
52:14
Speaker 1: you know, picking up the kids at the school and
52:17
Speaker 1: having a conversation.
52:18
Speaker 2: I need to.
52:19
Speaker 1: See Khadija being set up on dates.
52:23
Speaker 2: Oh, goodness.
52:23
Speaker 1: I'm going to get Malika and Justin Sylvester to do that, too.
52:27
Speaker 1: And then I need to be able to have the
52:30
Speaker 1: girls have confession notes because I need to see what
52:32
Speaker 1: they're thinking, you know, in these moments.
52:34
Speaker 2: So we can help with some context. Putting it out there. Okay.
52:38
Speaker 2: So with that being said, starting with you, Khadijah.
52:41
Speaker 3: Yes.
52:41
Speaker 1: If we are blessed with a second season, what would
52:46
Speaker 1: you like for the world to see from you?
52:50
Speaker 4: I guess it would be, listen, I came to the
52:52
Speaker 4: table first season given exactly where I am. And I'll
52:56
Speaker 4: give the exact same thing. Like I'm hustling. If I'm
52:59
Speaker 4: not flying all the way to Dubai to try to
53:02
Speaker 4: learn the real estate there, like I'm going to keep
53:05
Speaker 4: throwing darts at the wall. And every penny eventually reaches
53:09
Speaker 4: a dollar. And my kids cost a lot. So I'm
53:12
Speaker 4: going to keep going. That's it.
53:14
Speaker 3: Yes.
53:15
Speaker 4: Okay. Iris.
53:17
Speaker 3: I think I want people to see more of like
53:19
Speaker 3: the business side of me. I just launched Seba and
53:22
Speaker 3: like my kids, I think like you don't really see,
53:25
Speaker 3: you didn't really see our kids that much season one,
53:27
Speaker 3: but like there's so much with our kids, you know,
53:30
Speaker 3: and all of our kids have big personalities.
53:32
Speaker 4: So they love each other so much.
53:34
Speaker 3: The business. And there's also like conflict within businesses and,
53:38
Speaker 3: you know, other drama, not just within the girls.
53:41
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think that was the highlight and that's why
53:44
Speaker 4: it was so jarring for us. But like, there's so
53:47
Speaker 4: much more.
53:48
Speaker 3: To see.
53:48
Speaker 4: So I think it would be a blessing to get
53:50
Speaker 4: a second season to kind of show, you know, context.
53:54
Speaker 3: There's more than the five minutes everybody's seeing. You know,
53:58
Speaker 3: there's a lot that wasn't shown. And unfortunately, when you
54:00
Speaker 3: have six cast members, you're not going to be able
54:03
Speaker 3: to highlight on everything that you would like to highlight.
54:06
Speaker 3: We're also not the editors.
54:08
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah.
54:10
Speaker 2: Well, look, I will say this as the king of
54:12
Speaker 2: reality television. Come on, King. You know, listen, honey.
54:16
Speaker 3: Come on, King.
54:16
Speaker 2: You know, I'm just saying.
54:18
Speaker 1: I want to thank you two in addition to the
54:22
Speaker 1: other girls as well, because in this day and age,
54:25
Speaker 1: in the age of social media, it is a very
54:27
Speaker 1: scary time to be on reality television where you are
54:31
Speaker 1: giving so much of your life. to the show and
54:35
Speaker 1: to have to be subjected to a lot of commentary
54:39
Speaker 1: where people, look, they're going to say things that aren't
54:42
Speaker 1: the nicest, but I would encourage all of you guys, right,
54:47
Speaker 1: but I'm talking.
54:47
Speaker 2: To the two of you, To continue to just be yourself. Yeah.
54:53
Speaker 1: And I promise you, and I know you hear this
54:55
Speaker 1: all the time, but I've been doing this for almost
54:57
Speaker 1: 20 years. I work with Nene Leagues, Teresa Giudice, like
55:01
Speaker 1: the best of the best in the business. And the
55:03
Speaker 1: one thing I can say to the two of you
55:05
Speaker 1: so clearly is authenticity will always win. If you go
55:10
Speaker 1: into a situation worried about this person going to think that,
55:14
Speaker 1: I don't want people to think that, you're going to
55:15
Speaker 1: lose immediately.
55:16
Speaker 4: It gets very convoluted.
55:18
Speaker 1: Yes. But if you go in saying, I can stand
55:21
Speaker 1: on that in this very moment, I felt this way.
55:24
Speaker 3: Yeah.
55:25
Speaker 1: And I can watch it and say, uh-huh, I saw
55:28
Speaker 1: myself that way. And now I'm like, okay, not my
55:32
Speaker 1: best moment. But I'm here to say in that particular moment,
55:38
Speaker 1: that's how I felt. Not making excuses, but that's how
55:42
Speaker 1: I felt. And I would love you guys to have
55:44
Speaker 1: the reunion. And I would like to host the girls' reunion.
55:47
Speaker 4: Oh!
55:47
Speaker 2: So I'm just saying that, you know, put myself out there.
55:50
Speaker 2: Drop that bomb. Drop that bomb. But no.
55:53
Speaker 4: That would be actually great.
55:55
Speaker 1: I think we'll have some fun just saying. But listen,
55:59
Speaker 1: I love the show. I love you too. And I
56:04
Speaker 1: want you girls to win. Okay. So Raindrops, catch the
56:09
