• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I always say like this week is like a work week,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: but I feel like every week is a work week.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: But I say that when I mean that, like, there's
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: not like a lot of traveling. There's not like a
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: lot of out of studio. We just podcasts breakfast like

• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of my time out saw the Breakfast Club, outside of
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: recording a podcast for you guys, just working on stories.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: And being really in the body of things.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: That's been, you know, a challenge for me to find
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and carve out and do it with discipline that time
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: where I'm still like throwing myself fully into the story,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: into the details and all of the things, are also
• 1:22

• 1:24
  Speaker 1: is one of those weeks. And yeah, so hopefully this
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: week I'll bring you guys a lot more exclusives. I
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: felt like last week the news was so slow when
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: there wasn't much going on, and when that happens, I'm like,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: all right, we need to make some news, we need
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to make some conversation. So this week I think you
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: guys will see a lot more of that, especially here
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: on the podcast The Latest with one of the Roads
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: of because we'll have the time to be digging all
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: into the people's business.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Other than that, though, yeah, we were good.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: We typing on it into the Latest, so let's get
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: into it. So this week, actually, speaking of this week,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: as we go into the Latest, everything that's happening right now,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: we are days away from the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Now I Real Housewives of Atlanta, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: but I actually haven't really tuned into Beverly Hills as
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: much as I was before I told myself that I
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: was gonna get all caught up before Bozma Saint John
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Bow's loved Bows before her wedding because I wanted to, like,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you know, she's been covering her wedding on the show
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and preparing for it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Amongst other things.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: But with Real Housewives of Atlanta, they're like my like
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: my favorite fan chise like they are number one for me.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I've been hanging onto every episode the season. Sometimes I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: haven't watched two or three a day because I haven't
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: been caught up. I just finished the season finale episode
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: prior to preparing myself for the the reunion this weekend.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And there was reporting this week, like literally kicking off
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: this week that the girls have received their contracts.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: And that's always a.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Thing, like the day that the women of Royal housewivest
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: of Atlanta Cash received their contracts, as always a day
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: that like makes news because then people start having conversations
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: about who received the contract, what role are they coming
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: back in. For those of you guys who do not
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: watch Housewives, when I say a roll are they coming
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: back in? You have like main characters and non main characters.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: They call them peachholders. And friends of the show, right
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: or a friend of a peach holder. So, for instance,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Porscha Williams peachholder this season, that just means that a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: lot of the show revolved around her. Shemiah actually you know,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: got her peach this season, and it was a very
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: emotionally rough season for Shamia, especially being as though we
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: knew her as Porscha's friend on the show and now
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: we got to get more into her life and see
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: that relationship fall apart to I don't think they'll ever
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: get back to where they were, even once they ever
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: get back to being cordial.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: It came a selle.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Those three women this season were the bigger, biggest storylines
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of the show for various different reasons. So you know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: people are gonna want to see how that works out
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: going into this next season, like will all those women
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: still be main cast? Will they still be main peach Holders,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: because then you can kind of predict what next season
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: will look like and who we will focus on the most. Now,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I told you guys that that reporting was out earlier
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: this week. However, Andy Cohen has come out and said
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that is not true that none of the girls have
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: received contract offer yet there were also rumors that Shemiah
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: was not going to be coming back to the show again.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Shemiah was like best friends with Porsche when we first
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: came to meet and know her, and it's now taken
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: on her own life on the show. So there were
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: rumors that she may, you know, potentially not be returning
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: back to the show.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: And I'm not gonna lie. Like, whenever you hear these rumors.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: From the fan pages, it's like you can't ignore it
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: because a lot of the news will leak to the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: fan pages, through the girls teams, through production because Real
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Housewives fans are very intertwined with the fan pages and
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the fan cultures around the show. But it's like you
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: have to you got to pay attention to it, but
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you gotta wait.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: To get the real information.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: This is a big example that because those stories leaked
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and then Andy Cohen came out and said, and I
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: have reached out to a source coaster production myself and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: was like, hey, I mean, Shamia had a rough season
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: this season, so I could kind of see why she
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: wouldn't come back, you know, when she want to protect
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: their peace. But the more emotional and emotional roller coaster
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the season edge for you that means you got a
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: storyline that's working, baby, and that means you right there,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: stay right in that pocket. That's what builds you know,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the best housewives and reality stars in this type of lane.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: But here's what Andy Cohen had to say on the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: fact that Shemiah and there's no there's no truth to
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Shemia not returning as of now.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: There was also, of course that any Leaks maybe returning.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Let's say, a lot of casting rumors online which came
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: out over the weekend, and I'm going to tell you
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: that they're not true. And I am going.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: To tell you that if you want a preview of
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: next season of Atlanta, look at this cast.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: This is the group guys. I mean, uh, spoiler alert.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: We're very happy now.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I will say that is important to hear because there
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: was a time where a lot of like, you know,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: people were not happy about the cast, like they felt
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: like after Nini Leaks left, you know, and then you
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: had the drama with Kenya Moore where she you know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: allegedly exposed some revenge porn it was, you know, suspended
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: from the show and then didn't come back on the show.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Like all of that stuff, people thought that they were
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: losing our main girls, like they were losing their girls
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that were going to actually.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Make the show good. Then Portia came back in a
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: major way on the show.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: We were excited about that because it felt like, you know,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: we had some of her og girls back. Cynthia Bailey,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you know, famous housewife, Elena Boro, house husband, Atlanta.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Housewife, but also model.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: She came back onto the show this season as a
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: friend of the show, so she is there, she is present,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: but it allows her to not.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Fully be in all of the mess of the drama.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: But she's been even doing like some side commentating as
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: well too, And I think it also just gives her
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: time to figure things out as well. Like outside of
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the show, I think Cynthia has always been one of
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: those people on the show who had a lot happening,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Like she was trying to figure out, you know, her
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: wine situation, and then she had the Cynthia but a
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Bailey agency, Like she's done very successful businesses. But I
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: think at this point in her career, I could see
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: her wanting to be able to have a little bit
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: more time to build out those things, build out her
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: personal life while also understanding what the platform does for her.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: So she you know, one foot in, one foot a
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: little bit out, which is great. Now, there was also
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: rumors about Kelly on the show. Kelly is one of
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the newer housewives that you know, her drew prior to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Pinky Cole of Sludy Vegan coming on. People were trying
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: to figure out if they even, you know, really cared
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: for Kelly on the show. And I feel like this
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: season has really developed for her with her storyline, even
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: though she was not able to fill with her children
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: this season. There was a lot happening because of her
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: recent separation from her estranged husband. But I think again,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I think it gives her a storylines, It gives her
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: something to talk about.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: But people thought that she wasn't gonna come back either.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: When those rumors broke a contracts being sent out, people
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: thought that, you know, there was also gonna you know,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: be a goodbye sent to Kelly, non contract sent to Kelly.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: And that is not the case according to you know
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: what Bravo sources are putting out there now.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Cohen is speaking on.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to this reunion, baby, And let
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: me tell you guys something, this group of girls, it's
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: all about the reading. Okay, I don't know if y'all
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: are into the reality TV. I wouldn't even say it's
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: my guilty pleasure. I don't even feel guilty about loving
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the Housewives and w did they read down?
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: And when I say read, it's like the comebacks they quick,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: they sharp. So the season finale ended with them celebrating
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Kate Michelle, who just released her first ever country album.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: She has been in the country music space for some time.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Was told a long time ago she couldn't do a
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: country music album because she's a black woman, and there's
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: just been so much that it's opened up in country music,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: you know, for people like Kay Michelle because of the
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: work that she's put in. Beyonce Mickey gotting mad people
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: right in that space. So she got to do that
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: on this platform, which is benefit of the platform. It
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: elevates everything else that you're doing. But it closes out
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: with a party that she has and at the end
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: of the party, they're reading each other down.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's take a listen. They're lyon. But I'm not lying.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: No one's gonna hold her accountable to her life. We
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: don't survive with Allen. I'm gonna survive and you're going
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: to jail, you said the girls. Listen.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I know that the reunion is going to be insane.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: We already know. Pinky Cole of Slaty vegan, who was
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: recently made headlines for bankruptcy with her businesses and a
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: lot of money things are the businesses. Her and her
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: husband are expecting a new baby, and this is after
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: she revealed on the show that they were having some
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: issues because she's just been so focused on her business
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and trying to figure out what was going on with
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the business when they came to bankruptcy.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Let's take a listen. Hi, Pinky, you look amazing. Thank you.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: I know that you are vegan, but you had quite
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: the meaty season.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: How are you feeling about your first season? It felt good.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: I don't even want to ever hit a B word again.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: The only BEE word that I want to talk about
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: is the fact that I'm having a baby.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: How does your mom feel about it? She was mad? Hey, listen,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: she said she want to have another one.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I said, no, do in December.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Wow, and I just might name him or her Bravo.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Congratulations.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to see this reunion. I don't think we're
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: going to get receipts from certain things. I know that
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: there was like a big blow up between Porsche Williams
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: and ky Michelle. I don't think we're going to ever
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: get the receipts of you know, there was like a
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: whole oystergate, I will call it a whole plot and
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a plan in ky Michelle's voice that she said that
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: was put out and trying to be you know, or
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: allegedly being executed by Porsche to produce the show or
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: produce the storyline around ky Michelle in a certain way,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: which is a reality TV show thing. You know, you
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: will have the lead of your show or certain people
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: on the show who can work with the story producers
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the build out narrative in the way they need to.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: And ky Michelle is you know, she comes from love
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: and hip hop, so she's a reality star. Bet she
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: felt like she was shying, they were trying to swindle her,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: so she that was a huge thing in the beginning
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: of this season. But I don't think that we're gonna
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: actually get receipts of who she alleges told her all
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: of that, But hey, you never know. I just haven't
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: seen too much about that in the previews yet. But
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: we shall see because.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: They did exchange words. We know that. Let's take a
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: listen to ky Michelle in Portia. From the way that
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: the edit looks ina I have.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Lift not live, I'm so has your body?
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Okay, glory home.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: So we'll just have to stay tuned see what's going on.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: So, speaking of storylines, narratives, all the things that come
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: with being somebody.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Of influence, Ariana Grande.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: There was a statement that was released by her team
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: confirming that she is going to take a step back
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: from the spotlight for an extended break after she finishes
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: her Eternal Sunshine towards.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: And the reason for that, the rep says, is because
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: of a lot.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Of the scrutiny that she's been getting surrounding her health
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and her body.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: So here's the statement.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: After her Eternal Sunshine tour wraps and London on September first,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: a singer who is thirty three years old, she's going
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: to be stepping away and this is the statement was
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: given by Ariana Grande's rep two People magazine, So this
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: is from People Magazine. She will be stepping away from
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the public eye as scrutiny surrounding her health and body intensifies.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: So the rep continues, Ariana will be taking a step
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: She looks forward to finishing the tour.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: And ending it on a high note, both healthily and happy,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and then taking a much need to break from public
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: facing work and appearances which has led to endless ongrowing
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: public scrutiny. This tour has been a beautiful experience for her.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: She loves her fans and has loved every minute of
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: this tour so much. She performed a very physical show
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot of athleticism involved. She performs healthily
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and successfully at a very high level, night after night.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: So you know, because of this, they say that Arianna
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Grande is no longer going to be appearing in the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: West End revival of Stephen Sodom's Sunday in the Park
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: with George. So she's taking a step back from work
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: that I was supposed to open at London's Barbican Center
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: next summer, and she was going to be doing that
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: with Jonathan Bailey, who she did Wicked with. They were
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: he was going to be opposite her. But yeah, so
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: she's taking a step back, and y'all know what's crazy.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I feel like Ariana Grande and Cynthia or Rivo when
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: they were on that Wicked Tour run I knew. I
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I've heard Cynthia Rivo talk about, you know why she
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: felt like she got so much jokes and means about
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: her appearance on that tour. We'll get into that. She
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: says that it is because she's a black woman, and
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: that is the and it particularly it was the moment
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: where she jumped in front of this guy who was
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: like a fanan who like jumped over like almost like
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: barricades at a red carpet to get to Ariana Grande
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and Cynthia a Revo jumped in front of her.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: To just make sure she was okay.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Because Ariana has talked about suffering from like anxiety and
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: different things.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: She's been through a lot. But the crazy part of
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: that is, I feel like that.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Time period from them has like changed forever the way
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: that they're going to interact with fans in the public.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, we know that Ariana Grande has been through
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: other things that publicly have you know, really changed the
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: way that she interacts with There was the bombing that
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: took place at the concert that the Ariana Grande concert
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: back in twenty seventeen.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: There were at least nineteen.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: People killed and fifty people injured at the concert in
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Manchester in England. I think it's a celebrities have such
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: a like you think about something like that, you think
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: about you know, you're on a red carpet, a man
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: is jumping literally jumping over the carpet at you, and
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: you're already dealing with a lot of like society societal
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: like thoughts, pressures, like you're scared all the time because
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: you don't know who's coming at you for a reason,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: like it is a nerve wrecking thing.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I'm sure at the height that she.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Is dealing with it at But I think celebrities have
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: such a different experience with fans and supporters nowadays because
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: of social media as well too.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I think social media, even if you.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Are Ariana Grande who isn't really accessible, like Ariana Grande
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: is not posting YouTube videos every day and on stream
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: and giving us her life story all the time, and
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: you know, like she's still there are some things about
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: her that are still very like you know that school
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: is celebrity like a Zendea or a Tom Holland is
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: in where things are kept to herself. It's very regarded.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: You're not just gonna be able to walk up and
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: get to her. But at the same time, because of
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: social media, because of how what you're seeing her on
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: your timeline and other celebrities, I think that, you know,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: supporters feel like people in celebrities. People celebrities as people
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: are very accessible and I think that there's no boundary
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: anymore of like understanding it, like these are also people too.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: They just have a job that they're doing. But safety
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: should matter for them as well too. Boundaries should matter
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: for them as well too. And I think that it
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: has changed the dynamic between the fan experience in the
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: celebrity experience. And I think about I want to go
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: see the Michael Jackson movie. I saw the Jackson's Instagram
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: posts that they're going to be doing a series all
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: about Joe Jackson as the Jackson's manager, to which we'll
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: watch and we'll talk about here. But I think about
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Michael Jackson after watching the Michael Jackson movie and how
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: famous he was at that height, like social media was
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: not really a thing, you know, there was so much
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: that hadn't happened yet technology wise, imagine if it had
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: how overly personified that would have been. And then you
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: have people nowhere near as famous as Michael Jackson, Like
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody will ever be as famous as
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Michael jacks but you do have big celebrities still, it's
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: very few far in between, because we have Internet personalities who,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, are in the celebrity lane. But
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I think the way that they maneuver their lives, they're
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: way more accessible. They want you to know, way more,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: they want you to they want to bring you in
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: way more. You have celebrities who don't want to do
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: all that, who grow up in a school learning from
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Michael Jackson or other big Hollywood names like a Ariana
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Grande or Cynthia Rivo, who are just too true creators
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: who want to put certain things out into the world,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: and the people don't be having it at all, especially
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: in this go viral, go home society.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: She's done with it.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I just hope that she is in a healthy space,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: like physically, and that you know her because it's like
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: she's taking a step back during a time where people
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: are noticing, you know that she is thinner, visibly thinner.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: So I just hope that she's taking care of herself.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: And I hope that even if she's struggling with how
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: to take care of herself while performing at such a
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: high level, dealing with you know, all the pressure and
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: anxiety that come with the job that she has, this
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: time that she's taking off, she's going to really focus on,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: you know, rebuilding her arsenal of tools to.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Be able to do that.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Because I think a lot of times, like you'll hear
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: like Ariana Grandez, because she's such a big celebrity, she's rich,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: she's very successful. It's like all right, champagne problems, Like
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: come on, girl, like you got the career, you got
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: everything going when you're in some of the biggest movies
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: of the last like you know, biggest projects of the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: last like two three years, you.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Know what I mean.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Like people can look at this and be like complaining,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: complaining and complaining. But also the girls had a key
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: key about all the memes and the viral moments. But
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I think there's a real conversation that she's been trying
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: to have for some time just about what she's battling
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: and quiet that I don't think people really hear or
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: pay too much attention to or love to sit to
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: the side because the means and stuff are funny. So
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I hope that she's actually tapping back into what she
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: needs to be. Okay, And I think I will say
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: it is a it's not a never before seen thing
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: because we've had celebrities take a step back. We've had
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: celebrities we forced to take a step back Britney Spears
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: when she was fifty one fifty back in two thousand
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: and eight.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: This it gets crazy.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: It does like every level comes with new devils and
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: you got to learn how to balance it all. You
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: got to learn how to like to let somebody know
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: when you're struggling with doing all that. And that's why
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I was when I saw this statement, I'm like, damn,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Like they didn't drug sist into the ground. She is tired, Okay,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: she is over it. But at the same time, I
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: was like, you know, it's a really big thing to say. Yo,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a break, I'm gonna start working. She
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: got the money, she got she cool, she got the brand.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: She'll be able to do it.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: But a lot of us that work in this industry
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: for like out of sight, out of mind. So I understand,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: like you know, she's on a run right now, like Wicked.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I mean they say, you know, the the second installation
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: of Wicked wasn't as good as the first. But like
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Wicked and all the projects that she has happening like
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: these last couple of years, she's if yuh, she's dominated
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: for the last I would say, like what like five
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: to seven years from music to television.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Projects, the movies.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Taking a set back is a big deal and a
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: big decision to make it. So I'm proud of her
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: for making it. But it's not easy at all. So
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I think when people are speaking, we should listen.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Y'all would be looking. We all are guilty of having
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: a little laugh, a little key key, but we should listen.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I'm Lona Rosa.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: This has been another episode of the Latest with Laurna Rosa.
• 21:34

• 21:36

• 21:39
