Speaker 1: this is my list based on my professional experience and
3:17
Speaker 1: expertise as a reality TV producer and executive who has
3:24
Speaker 1: produced over a thousand episodes of reality television. My opinion
3:30
Speaker 1: is not based on who I know and love personally
3:34
Speaker 1: or who I may not know or like personally. Because
3:38
Speaker 1: there are some on this list that I don't like,
3:42
Speaker 1: let's be clear, But I've got to give them their
3:46
Speaker 1: proper props on what they bring to their franchise. So
3:50
Speaker 1: remember keep that in mind as we conclude the Greatest
3:55
Speaker 1: Housewives of All Time list numbers five through one. Coming
4:05
Speaker 1: in at number five Vicky Gobblesen of the Real Housewives
4:10
Speaker 1: of Orange County.
4:12
Speaker 2: You got to give Vicky her props.
4:14
Speaker 1: There wouldn't be a Real Housewives franchise if it wasn't
4:17
Speaker 1: for the Real Housewives of Orange County, and it wouldn't
4:20
Speaker 1: be what fifteen sixteen seasons of the Real Housewives of
4:24
Speaker 1: Orange County if it wasn't for Vicky Goebleson She's the
4:27
Speaker 1: og of the OC and you must give Vicky her props.
4:32
Speaker 1: To be a great housewife, you have to have this
4:36
Speaker 1: delusion of grant. You have to have a level of
4:41
Speaker 1: pomps and circumstance and really thinking like I'm that girl.
4:45
Speaker 1: VICKI has high confidence because she felt like this is
4:48
Speaker 1: my show. I'm confused why you guys aren't saying it
4:51
Speaker 1: is because I started it. And not only that, she
4:54
Speaker 1: gave you so many great moments. I mean, I think
4:58
Speaker 1: this was season one or two when she surprised her
5:01
Speaker 1: son in college and storm in his dorm room.
5:05
Speaker 2: I mean, what mother does that?
5:08
Speaker 1: As to be able to capture that on camera, and
5:11
Speaker 1: for her to do that again without a blueprint, it's
5:14
Speaker 1: legendary in itself. In addition to that, she truly set
5:19
Speaker 1: the gold standard of what a housewife is. She's funny,
5:23
Speaker 1: she's rich, and she can go toe to toe with
5:26
Speaker 1: the girls right like. She doesn't mind getting her her
5:31
Speaker 1: hands messy in the pot of drama that brews when
5:35
Speaker 1: you're shooting.
5:35
Speaker 2: A housewife show.
5:37
Speaker 1: Vickie Goldson never shied away from talking about the Brooks
5:41
Speaker 1: cancer Sada.
5:44
Speaker 2: Let me tell y'all.
5:44
Speaker 1: Something I have worked with many reality stars. I don't
5:48
Speaker 1: think any other reality star will continue filming when they
5:54
Speaker 1: are exposed for allegedly conspiring with this story of Brooks
6:01
Speaker 1: having cancer. And although Vicky said she was innocent, she
6:06
Speaker 1: still allowed herself to film. She still allowed Brooks and
6:11
Speaker 1: her the film together. She allowed herself to talk about it.
6:15
Speaker 1: Amongst these other women on the show, I know plenty
6:19
Speaker 1: of reality stars being one of them where they refused
6:24
Speaker 1: to talk about certain stuff were in their eyes, certain
6:28
Speaker 1: things are off limits and listen, who am.
6:30
Speaker 2: I to judge you? I get it, I understand it.
6:33
Speaker 2: No t noshade, However, dot org.
6:36
Speaker 1: Vicky Govison allowed all of that to be shown and
6:40
Speaker 1: showed up to the reunion to talk about it, and
6:43
Speaker 1: a lot of people said she was living the real
6:45
Speaker 1: life Dirty John story.
6:47
Speaker 2: That's iconic.
6:48
Speaker 1: Vicky Govizon doesn't have to go on another Mexico trip,
6:52
Speaker 1: take a shot, break her ankle like.
6:56
Speaker 2: She is a legend.
6:59
Speaker 1: Because she started reality TV at a time where the
7:04
Speaker 1: assignment was to be real.
7:06
Speaker 2: And the reason why Vicky.
7:09
Speaker 1: Is the og of the OC is because she was
7:12
Speaker 1: able to do all of that without watching anyone else
7:16
Speaker 1: do it. She did it at a time reality TV
7:20
Speaker 1: was all about authenticity. Looking at the Real Housewives of
7:24
Speaker 1: Orange County. Now, the show just isn't the same without her,
7:29
Speaker 1: and you gotta admit that, love her or hate her,
7:33
Speaker 1: annoying or not, Vicky Goebbelson is the face of that
7:39
Speaker 1: franchise and she is somebody who is definitely a missing
7:43
Speaker 1: element in that show of what it is today. Coming
7:47
Speaker 1: in hot at number four on my list of the
7:50
Speaker 1: greatest Housewives of all time is Kenya Moore. Ooh, I'm
7:54
Speaker 1: gonna get so much shade for saying this, but your
7:56
Speaker 1: boy out to be honest, Kenya Moore single handedly changed
8:01
Speaker 1: the Real Houseworks of Atlanta.
8:03
Speaker 2: Prior to the show even airing.
8:05
Speaker 1: I've heard nothing but good things about Kenya Moore about
8:09
Speaker 1: how this Detroit legend was serving the girls and twirling
8:13
Speaker 1: all around them.
8:13
Speaker 2: On season five of the Real Hospitals of Atlanta.
8:16
Speaker 1: She came into the scene and showed everybody what a
8:22
Speaker 1: whimsicle housewife looks like, because prior to that, you were
8:27
Speaker 1: seamlessly like married and you know professional, you can read
8:33
Speaker 1: a girl, but you have this elegance about you, or
8:36
Speaker 1: you tried to like you did you know what I'm saying,
8:38
Speaker 1: But King came in, it was like guns blazing, And
8:43
Speaker 1: that's what I mean when I said she changed the
8:45
Speaker 1: direction of the show. It's because she was just a
8:49
Speaker 1: force to be reckoned with. And Portia came into and
8:52
Speaker 1: Porscha was fantastic as well, but obviously Kenya was the
8:56
Speaker 1: standout because she is a word.
9:00
Speaker 2: Kenya can read a bit like no other.
9:04
Speaker 1: Regardless if the other cast members on Atlanta like Kenya
9:08
Speaker 1: or not, Kenya keeps the story driving forward.
9:13
Speaker 2: She is the reason for the season.
9:16
Speaker 1: She's able to make sure scenes happen.
9:20
Speaker 2: She is a producer in that sense. I mean the
9:23
Speaker 2: girl produced a lot of stuff.
9:24
Speaker 1: Pride to being a reality TV honey, Yes, actress producer.
9:29
Speaker 1: Kenya Moore is theater ray reality TV. She had a
9:33
Speaker 1: career before Atlanta, housewife child. She was the ray of Hollywood.
9:37
Speaker 2: Uddy. Anyways, y'all gonna read you for that. I love it.
9:41
Speaker 2: She just gets it.
9:43
Speaker 1: She understands her role on the show. She is the
9:49
Speaker 1: villain of villains. She's polarizing. She is funny, and that's
9:56
Speaker 1: the thing about Kenya. She's funny. And going back to
9:59
Speaker 1: Ultimate Girls Trip, it was nice to see Kenya in
10:04
Speaker 1: that light because she was so funny and likable. And
10:09
Speaker 1: that's the Kenya Moore that I know. On a personal level.
10:12
Speaker 1: I love Kenya Moore. She is a great housewife. She's
10:18
Speaker 1: a great human being. The one thing I wish people
10:21
Speaker 1: knew about Kenya was in real life, she is a sweetheart.
10:25
Speaker 1: She is the only housewife that has never.
10:30
Speaker 2: Yelled at me.
10:34
Speaker 1: I'm a cussed up by the best of the best
10:36
Speaker 1: Kenya Moore. Even when Kenya is mad at me, But
10:40
Speaker 1: one thing she'll say to me is okay, Boss, okay,
10:46
Speaker 1: And I'll be like, oh my god, king is mad
10:49
Speaker 1: at me. Lord Like I don't like him when they're
10:51
Speaker 1: mad at me because I'm like their big brother and
10:53
Speaker 1: I love them so much. But she's a joy to
10:57
Speaker 1: work with. Production. You know, we love working with Kenya
11:01
Speaker 1: because Kenya. Kenya keeps things alive and seeing Kenya keeps
11:05
Speaker 1: the party going. And I'll know you guys may be
11:07
Speaker 1: thinking like, well, is she being real or is she
11:10
Speaker 1: like some producing herself And it's not even that. I
11:13
Speaker 1: think what you guys have to understand is if your
11:16
Speaker 1: cast to be on reality TV, you're there for a reason,
11:20
Speaker 1: and you're there to be your authentic self. And Kenya
11:22
Speaker 1: authentically is funny, and she's authentically shady, and she's authentically
11:26
Speaker 1: a reader like she reads, so that is who she is,
11:30
Speaker 1: and she has great comebacks. She has great reads for
11:34
Speaker 1: the girls. She stands up for herself. I don't know
11:39
Speaker 1: a better woman that can stand up for herself at
11:43
Speaker 1: all these reunions, and I really do feel like people
11:46
Speaker 1: don't have her back. And I'll go a record saying
11:48
Speaker 1: that Kenya fights her own battles. She doesn't rely on anybody.
11:53
Speaker 1: Even if these girls say behind the scenes like you're Kenya,
11:55
Speaker 1: you low key was right, and she'd be.
11:57
Speaker 2: Like, well, bitch, why are you didn't have my back
11:59
Speaker 2: in scene.
12:01
Speaker 1: A lot of these girls, and I will say it,
12:03
Speaker 1: a lot of these girls feel like, well, if I
12:05
Speaker 1: started with.
12:05
Speaker 2: Kenya social media, people gonna be.
12:07
Speaker 1: Mad at me, like it's crazy. And that's the reason
12:12
Speaker 1: why I enjoyed Kenya on Ultimate Girls Group because she
12:16
Speaker 1: was able to really be who she was without other girls.
12:19
Speaker 1: Kinna like, well, if I hang out with Kinga too much,
12:23
Speaker 1: you know, will people read me on Twitter. I can't
12:27
Speaker 1: defend Kinga too much because.
12:28
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's tricky.
12:31
Speaker 1: No one had that on Ultimate Girl's Trip and she
12:36
Speaker 1: was vulnerable about what's going on with her and Mark.
12:40
Speaker 1: You know her now ex husband, How she was leaving
12:45
Speaker 1: her daughter Brooklyn at home to go on a girl's trip.
12:49
Speaker 2: You saw how her Melissa had a girl of poor You.
12:52
Speaker 1: Saw how Teresa saying like, thank you for defending me.
12:56
Speaker 2: No one defends me on my show.
12:58
Speaker 1: And that's how I feel about Kenya Moore. I feel
13:01
Speaker 1: like all the years Kenya has been on the show, no.
13:05
Speaker 2: One has defended her. And she is a boss because.
13:10
Speaker 1: She still reports to work, does her job and makes
13:13
Speaker 1: us laugh and twirl all the way home and an
13:16
Speaker 1: applause of thank you, thank you, thank you. Kenya legend
13:23
Speaker 1: more number four on my list of the top ten
13:27
Speaker 1: greatest Housewives of all time. Okay, now you know I'm
13:31
Speaker 1: not done yet, but we have to take a break
13:33
Speaker 1: for some ads. Stay tuned from my number three top housewife.
13:39
Speaker 1: Can you guess who it is?
13:41
Speaker 2: I'll give you a hint.
13:43
Speaker 1: She's Cooper Coco pot This is reality with the King.
13:55
Speaker 1: I'm Carlo King. Let's get back to my greatest Housewives.
13:59
Speaker 2: Of all time?
13:59
Speaker 1: Left coming get a Number three is Bethany Frankel of
14:06
Speaker 1: the Real Housewives of New York City and the words
14:10
Speaker 1: of Beyonce, you know you are that bitch when you
14:14
Speaker 1: call all this conversation, and that is Bethany Frankel.
14:19
Speaker 2: Let's cut to the Chase Y'all.
14:20
Speaker 1: Real Housewives of New York City will never be the
14:23
Speaker 1: same without Bethany Frankel. Without Bethany Frankel, the show isn't watchable.
14:29
Speaker 2: It is what it is. And that's why.
14:32
Speaker 1: She's number three on the list because when Bethany Frankel
14:35
Speaker 1: is on the Real Housepose of New York City, she
14:39
Speaker 1: brings something so unique to that particular franchise. Every housewife
14:46
Speaker 1: show and every reality show needs a Queen Bee. And
14:49
Speaker 1: when I say at queen Bee, what I mean by
14:52
Speaker 1: that is is the person that is able to poke
14:58
Speaker 1: around everybody in the show, who's able to get along
15:02
Speaker 1: with all the cast members in a very unique way,
15:05
Speaker 1: and their energy forces them to be the leader.
15:10
Speaker 2: Bethany leads the conversation.
15:13
Speaker 1: Bethany leads into the movement of what we're going to
15:17
Speaker 1: talk about. Bethany leads everything that happens with that show.
15:23
Speaker 1: Those women do not know what to do without having
15:26
Speaker 1: a leader, and Bethany is the leader of the Real
15:30
Speaker 1: Housewives of New York City and that's why Eva ree
15:34
Speaker 1: single Lafe time she left, the show hasn't been great.
15:39
Speaker 1: And as much as Ramona is great, Ramona needs Bethany.
15:47
Speaker 1: Is sort of like Karen on Potomac and I love Karen,
15:50
Speaker 1: and I stand Karen, and me and Karen are Twitter
15:53
Speaker 1: and social media friends because I love her.
15:55
Speaker 2: She's the Granddamin, She's everything.
15:57
Speaker 1: Karen will also agree with me that she needs Giselle.
16:01
Speaker 1: Giselle will also agree with me that she needs Karen.
16:04
Speaker 1: And what I want to do is y'all gonna stop
16:07
Speaker 1: thinking that as an insult. It's sort of like being
16:10
Speaker 1: on a basketball team. You need your starting five in
16:14
Speaker 1: order to win the game. Ramona needs Bethany in order
16:18
Speaker 1: for Romona to be great, and she knows that, and
16:22
Speaker 1: it pains her to know that. Every time Bethany leaves,
16:25
Speaker 1: the rating decrease because no woman should have that much power,
16:29
Speaker 1: and I get that. Unfortunately Bethany does. She is funny,
16:35
Speaker 1: she can dress her asshole. Noma played the game better
16:40
Speaker 1: than Bethany Frankel in terms of using the platform of
16:43
Speaker 1: reality television to your benefit.
16:46
Speaker 2: She did it in a.
16:47
Speaker 1: Way where she was able to make multimillions off of
16:50
Speaker 1: that show. Let's go back to a few scenes when
16:55
Speaker 1: Bethany was meeting with leu Anne. Bethany pulled up to
16:59
Speaker 1: meet with Lui in a vehic call that had the
17:05
Speaker 1: Skinny Girl branding all over it, and even Leulanne en
17:09
Speaker 1: scene said oh wow, I mean talked about promotion, and
17:15
Speaker 1: Bethany said, I mean you promote Gucci, you promote you know,
17:18
Speaker 1: Mercedes bands. I can't promote my own brand. And it
17:22
Speaker 1: was in that very moment guys I.
17:24
Speaker 2: Said, Oh, She's on another level.
17:27
Speaker 1: She used reality television the best way possible. She used
17:34
Speaker 1: it in a way that made sense in terms of like,
17:36
Speaker 1: if I got all these eyeballs on me, I better
17:39
Speaker 1: do something with it.
17:40
Speaker 2: Bethany became a multi.
17:41
Speaker 1: Millionaire cover Forbes, a Shark Tank correspondent, or guest co
17:46
Speaker 1: host because of how she used the platform of that franchise.
17:51
Speaker 2: Because of Bethany, they have a.
17:53
Speaker 1: Thing in this business called a Bethany Cause now you
17:56
Speaker 1: know you are that bitch when you have a.
17:58
Speaker 2: Clause named after you work.
18:01
Speaker 1: A Bethany clause is when the networks get a piece
18:06
Speaker 1: of your profit study when you're using the shelf out
18:09
Speaker 1: to make a coin, so that's legendary in itself. She
18:14
Speaker 1: is the Queen Bee, She's the comedian. She can be
18:18
Speaker 1: the villain and the peacemaker all that once. Bethany Frankel
18:23
Speaker 1: is truly the greatest housewife New York City has ever seen.
18:29
Speaker 1: In my most humble opinion, I think Bethany Frankel is
18:34
Speaker 1: the only person who can save that show.
18:39
Speaker 2: Number two, Come and get strong.
18:42
Speaker 1: Of the greatest housewife all time is none other than
18:46
Speaker 1: Teresa Judais. Teresa Judas is someone I've had the esteemed
18:51
Speaker 1: pleasure of working with the first two seasons of the
18:55
Speaker 1: Real Housewives of New Jersey.
18:57
Speaker 2: Teresa she was the under dog.
19:00
Speaker 1: We were so focused on Danielle and Dina and Caroline
19:05
Speaker 1: and Jacqueline, like we were focused on like that Manzull
19:08
Speaker 1: family drama, and obviously Danielle being like the villain of
19:11
Speaker 1: all villains on the show that we really saw Teresa's like, oh,
19:15
Speaker 1: she's cute, But we never paid attention to Teresa until
19:20
Speaker 1: the season finale at the dinner at that Italian restaurant
19:25
Speaker 1: and when Teresa Judais questioned Danielle's style and said something
19:32
Speaker 1: about her being unclear or I'm trying to understand, and.
19:38
Speaker 2: Ay Yale sold Teresa to.
19:42
Speaker 1: Be I was engaged up name change.
19:47
Speaker 2: Pay attention please?
19:49
Speaker 1: You want to talk about Ramona's crazy eyes. Teresa eyes
19:54
Speaker 1: when very Ramona crazy. When she was told to pay
19:57
Speaker 1: attention please. You know how said to you in the
20:01
Speaker 1: last episode, Tamrone gag and Scharay said, gonn check me booth.
20:05
Speaker 1: Teresa eyeballs gagged when she was told pay attention please,
20:10
Speaker 1: and she told Danielle, I am paying attention.
20:14
Speaker 2: I am paying attention.
20:16
Speaker 1: You said you weren't gaged nineteen fucking tomes, you.
20:20
Speaker 2: Stupid fucking bitch. Flip the table. Let me tell you something.
20:25
Speaker 1: Your boy, Carlos King was there when Teresa flipped that table.
20:29
Speaker 1: Not only did the cast run Child, some of the
20:33
Speaker 1: producers ranto, you guys gotta understand.
20:38
Speaker 2: This happened back in two thousand and eight.
20:40
Speaker 1: I worked on Atlanta Housewife Child, right, I haven't seen
20:44
Speaker 1: a table flip, so.
20:46
Speaker 2: To see this table flip happen, and.
20:48
Speaker 1: That Teresa was doing, We're like Teresa, not sweet Teresa.
20:55
Speaker 1: That moment solidified Teresa as an icon. And I remember
21:01
Speaker 1: after the scene she called me and she said, so,
21:05
Speaker 1: what do you think.
21:06
Speaker 2: And I said, oh, let me tell you something, baby,
21:09
Speaker 2: you will go down in history as an icon because
21:13
Speaker 2: that table flip would be the most iconic moment in
21:17
Speaker 2: reality TV history. And Teresa gushin you thinks so you
21:21
Speaker 2: think so? I mean really, I said, bitch, absolutely, it
21:25
Speaker 2: will be. And I remember saying as to Teresa back
21:29
Speaker 2: in two thousand and eight after she put the table
21:31
Speaker 2: I said, buckle up, you're about to be a star.
21:35
Speaker 2: You know you are that girl when they stopped production
21:39
Speaker 2: because you're asking to jail. They said, look, y'all, we
21:42
Speaker 2: know we can't film with just Melissa Jack and like
21:44
Speaker 2: I forgot, he's on the show. Like they were, like, girl,
21:45
Speaker 2: we clearly can't film with the other girls without you.
21:48
Speaker 2: We get it.
21:49
Speaker 1: We're gonna put a pause on Jersey Child until Teresa
21:52
Speaker 1: was out of jail, honey, because we need her. And
21:55
Speaker 1: that's what happened.
21:56
Speaker 2: That's what happened.
21:57
Speaker 1: Even today, Teresa is still very entertaining to watch. And
22:02
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this, and I know a lot.
22:04
Speaker 2: Of people are gonna be mad at me, but.
22:07
Speaker 1: I gotta keep it real with y'all. Teresa is the
22:10
Speaker 1: only housewife in my opinion that deserves a spin off.
22:13
Speaker 1: This is the crazy thing about Teresa. She has so
22:17
Speaker 1: much more to give. In my opinion, I think Teresa
22:22
Speaker 1: will go down as the most entertaining interesting housewife in
22:27
Speaker 1: terms of having a long position on that franchise. And
22:32
Speaker 1: I just think the sky is the limit for Teresa.
22:35
Speaker 1: She is the best of the best. And the fact
22:40
Speaker 1: that no matter how many people come for her, Teresa
22:45
Speaker 1: is never scared to stand up for herself.
22:48
Speaker 2: She battled so many people at reunions.
22:52
Speaker 1: I know it must hurt their soul that no one
22:55
Speaker 1: can take down Teresa as.
22:57
Speaker 2: Hard as they try, and boy do that she survives.
23:02
Speaker 2: Teresa is a survivor.
23:05
Speaker 1: That's why she is number two on my list of
23:09
Speaker 1: the greatest housewives of all time. The conclusion of my list,
23:16
Speaker 1: it brings me so much excitement to say, who I
23:21
Speaker 1: consider number one on my list of the greatest housewife
23:27
Speaker 1: of all time? This should not come as a surprise.
23:32
Speaker 1: It is the one and only Niani Leaks. This is
23:36
Speaker 1: no surprise and if you are surprised, then you are
23:39
Speaker 1: not a real housewife. Fan Niini Leaks is the greatest
23:43
Speaker 1: housewife of all time, period, point blank. Niani Leaks is
23:52
Speaker 1: the face of Real Housewives. To me and to others,
23:58
Speaker 1: Nimi Leaks is so fun to work with, and I mean,
24:02
Speaker 1: this woman is responsible for so many iconic moments in
24:06
Speaker 1: the history of the franchise. Like I said, from ice
24:09
Speaker 1: popping lips bus in season one to your gates don't
24:13
Speaker 1: work as you raise then you know house going toe
24:18
Speaker 1: to toe with Kim Zosiacs and Gobs nasher wig off
24:22
Speaker 1: your head, close your legs and married men with like
24:27
Speaker 1: she just has so many equips about her. She is
24:32
Speaker 1: a meme queen. I mean, you can literally have a
24:37
Speaker 1: text conversation with your friend and use Nini's gifts and
24:41
Speaker 1: people will understand what you mean. She as a black woman,
24:46
Speaker 1: transcended not only from that show, but to do other
24:50
Speaker 1: things from hosting on the Red Carpet to doing scripted
24:54
Speaker 1: shows with Ryan Murphy. I mean, she is the only
25:00
Speaker 1: the reality star that is at the African American Museum
25:04
Speaker 1: of Television right next to a picture of Claire Huxtable.
25:09
Speaker 2: Bitch, you better work.
25:11
Speaker 1: She's a legend, She's an icon, and she will always
25:14
Speaker 1: be the moment. Nimi Leaks does not have to do
25:17
Speaker 1: anything for the rest of her life, and she would
25:19
Speaker 1: still be that girl, because what she brought to the
25:24
Speaker 1: franchise is fun, over the top personality. So many people
25:31
Speaker 1: are trying to copy her and they all have failed miserably.
25:34
Speaker 1: She is the DNA of Atlanta. She is the DNA
25:39
Speaker 1: of the franchise. She is so beloved in all communities,
25:44
Speaker 1: from black, white, gay communities.
25:46
Speaker 2: We love her.
25:49
Speaker 1: She her legacy will always be a woman, no matter
25:55
Speaker 1: if she meant to that's a joke or not.
25:57
Speaker 2: You laugh at everything she said. I said what I said.
26:00
Speaker 2: Now what she want to do? Okay, because it ain't
26:01
Speaker 2: changing over here, period. Okay. Next, like, she's single.
26:06
Speaker 1: Handily changed the culture of housewives, and she changed the
26:11
Speaker 1: game for black women in.
26:12
Speaker 2: Reality TV period.
26:15
Speaker 1: I cannot tell you because me and Neini are very close,
26:19
Speaker 1: and I remember when all the other reality shows starting
26:23
Speaker 1: Black Women ensemblest were happening because of the huge success
26:27
Speaker 1: of Atlanta Housewives. Some of youall favorite black FEMA reality
26:31
Speaker 1: stars will call Nini and ask for advice. She was
26:35
Speaker 1: say to me like, oh my gosh, Carlos, I meet
26:38
Speaker 1: all these black female reality stars and they stare at
26:41
Speaker 1: me and.
26:41
Speaker 2: They ask me all these questions.
26:43
Speaker 1: And I remember saying to her Niini is because you
26:47
Speaker 1: are doing something with your platform that they have never
26:50
Speaker 1: seen before, you know, as a black woman. For you
26:53
Speaker 1: to be able to have all of these endorsement deals
26:56
Speaker 1: and all this this love from other networks and scripted
27:02
Speaker 1: rose and America loves you, you know what I mean, Like,
27:06
Speaker 1: that's a big deal for a black woman to have
27:08
Speaker 1: reality television. So of course they went to her advice, like child,
27:11
Speaker 1: you that girl, you know what I'm saying, Like, of
27:14
Speaker 1: course they do. But she's a legend. The moment I
27:18
Speaker 1: knew that Nini Leaks was going to be a star,
27:22
Speaker 1: I would never forget this moment ever, ever, ever, ever,
27:25
Speaker 1: so again, I'm always gonna talk about this moment because
27:28
Speaker 1: this is when reality TV was like truly truly, truly
27:31
Speaker 1: truly truly, truly, truly real, and.
27:33
Speaker 2: There was no blueprint.
27:35
Speaker 1: It's when she was not allowed at Charret's house and
27:38
Speaker 1: she cussed out the gate, the security guards, the caterer, everybody,
27:43
Speaker 1: and she did it in a way where as mad
27:45
Speaker 1: as she was, I laughed the whole time because I
27:48
Speaker 1: just saw it to be funny.
27:50
Speaker 2: I thought she was hilarious without even trying to be.
27:52
Speaker 1: And I called my friend and I said, this is
27:56
Speaker 1: about to be the greatest reality showing history. We're only
27:59
Speaker 1: been shooting for five and the shit that I've been
28:02
Speaker 1: seeing so far is hilarious.
28:04
Speaker 2: And she is high hilarious.
28:08
Speaker 1: And I remember saying to her season one when we rapped,
28:15
Speaker 1: similar to Teresa, right, But I worked with Atlanta three
28:20
Speaker 1: months before Jersey. So I said to Sanini first, I said,
28:26
Speaker 1: when this airs, you're going to be the biggest reality
28:31
Speaker 1: start in the world, like number one. And she said,
28:34
Speaker 1: shut up, bitch, No, I'm not you think So I said, girl,
28:37
Speaker 1: I'm telling you you are. And I haven't been wrong.
28:42
Speaker 1: I haven't been and she always will be. We're talking
28:47
Speaker 1: about the greatest season of Atlanta ever, which is season six.
28:50
Speaker 2: And Pillow talk fight.
28:52
Speaker 1: Right, how she prays up and down that hotel suiteet
28:58
Speaker 1: and her pink frock and she slammed the door of Kenya.
29:04
Speaker 1: It said, now can it goes? You look fabulous? Needing
29:09
Speaker 1: you don't, Oh honey, I'll look fabulous. You think you
29:12
Speaker 1: look fabulous, but you really don't. Okay, Like that alone
29:16
Speaker 1: is hilarious, And how she's able to make any intense
29:22
Speaker 1: situation funny like that, to me is the equivalent of
29:28
Speaker 1: an icon, and that's who.
29:30
Speaker 2: Media leaks is.
29:33
Speaker 1: So that my love is my list of the greatest
