- 0:03Speaker 1: Reality with the King is hosted by me, Carlos King.
- 0:07Speaker 1: I'm an executive producer who have produced some of your
- 0:10Speaker 1: favorite shows from the Real Housewives of Atlanta, New Jersey
- 0:13Speaker 1: and my own creation, The Love and Marriage Franchise and
- 0:17Speaker 1: Bell Collective. Every episode we recap reality television from the
- 0:23Speaker 1: Real Housewives Franchise to The Bachelor or Selling Sunset. In
- 0:27Speaker 1: addition to celebrity guests, whether in the unscripted space or
- 0:31Speaker 1: scripted as well, we have.
- 0:37Speaker 2: To get into Real Housewives of Belly Hills. It is
- 0:40Speaker 2: the first time we're talking about this show, but I
- 0:43Speaker 2: wanted to bring this clip to you guys. So rain Drops,
- 0:46Speaker 2: if you're watching Billy Hills Housewives, you know there's a
- 0:49Speaker 2: new cast member named Bows and Bows is going through
- 0:52Speaker 2: her fertility journey. She sat down with her fiance and
- 0:59Speaker 2: her daughter, who's like sixteen years old. She talks to
- 1:02Speaker 2: him about the fact that listen similar to Quad's journey,
- 1:07Speaker 2: the eggs unfortunately didn't take and she's contemplating starting go
- 1:13Speaker 2: over again. But one thing she said was her fear
- 1:17Speaker 2: of not giving her fiance a child because he does
- 1:23Speaker 2: want one, he doesn't have any, and she was worried
- 1:27Speaker 2: that will that would that lead resentment that you have
- 1:32Speaker 2: for me, the fact that I was unable to produce
- 1:35Speaker 2: a child.
- 1:37Speaker 3: And then after that he.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Mentioned, well how would you feel if I no longer
- 1:42Speaker 2: had any income?
- 1:44Speaker 3: So I want to start with Claudia with this one.
- 1:48Speaker 2: You know, listen, do you think a lot of women
- 1:50Speaker 2: are going through IVF because their man wants a child?
- 1:57Speaker 2: And do you think it's fair that she's putting her
- 1:59Speaker 2: body through all of this. She already has a kid,
- 2:03Speaker 2: but she's doing it in fear of losing her man.
- 2:07Speaker 4: I think Bose as successful and independent as she is.
- 2:12Speaker 4: I don't think she's like a weak ass, pussy ass
- 2:14Speaker 4: woman that would just do it just because of him.
- 2:16Speaker 4: I think she has it in her. I don't think
- 2:18Speaker 4: she would be talked into doing it. I don't think
- 2:20Speaker 4: she'd be guilty into doing it. She strikes me as
- 2:23Speaker 4: someone that's like, maybe it wasn't top of mind, but
- 2:26Speaker 4: best believe I wouldn't do this if I didn't want
- 2:28Speaker 4: to do it as well as well, you know what
- 2:30Speaker 4: I mean?
- 2:30Speaker 2: I don't.
- 2:31Speaker 4: So I don't feel that she's like, you know, woe
- 2:33Speaker 4: is me, or it's like she's like just doing it for.
- 2:35Speaker 5: Him, but I think that's actually a noble thing.
- 2:38Speaker 4: To do something that maybe wasn't you know, you've already
- 2:40Speaker 4: done and you want to do it for your partner
- 2:42Speaker 4: so he can experience that same thing too.
- 2:43Speaker 5: I think that's a beautiful thing. Shout out to her
- 2:45Speaker 5: for doing that.
- 2:47Speaker 4: But I also think that she may be underestimating herself
- 2:51Speaker 4: and her worth.
- 2:51Speaker 5: Like I think he'll be fine to be with her.
- 2:54Speaker 4: And you know, he knew he was getting with an
- 2:57Speaker 4: older woman, right and that's a possibility, and chose to
- 3:00Speaker 4: love her anyways. I think he I think he loves
- 3:02Speaker 4: her dirty draws and vice versa. And I think ideally
- 3:07Speaker 4: they love to have a child. But I think that
- 3:09Speaker 4: they are a couple that if they didn't, I think
- 3:11Speaker 4: they will stand. I've seen them recently and the way her,
- 3:16Speaker 4: the way she looks at him, Yeah, at the luncheon
- 3:18Speaker 4: for the NAACP Awards, I mean for the the luncheon,
- 3:21Speaker 4: and they just their vibe is just like you know,
- 3:24Speaker 4: you meet a couple like I like them.
- 3:27Speaker 5: I feel that I love that.
- 3:29Speaker 4: I don't think she's like trying to she's desperate to
- 3:31Speaker 4: like hang on to him or I have to do this.
- 3:34Speaker 5: I'm gonna love him.
- 3:34Speaker 4: I don'teel like she's doing it out of like like nervous,
- 3:37Speaker 4: like a scarcity, like I'm gonna lose this man if
- 3:39Speaker 4: I don't do it.
- 3:40Speaker 3: I don't Dustin Ross.
- 3:42Speaker 6: Yeah, you know me.
- 3:44Speaker 7: I'm all about a great scene, you know, black love
- 3:47Speaker 7: being shown on the screen and what that represents. I
- 3:50Speaker 7: love the way that they were openly communicating about some
- 3:53Speaker 7: tough shit to talk about. She expressed one of her
- 3:56Speaker 7: worst fears, which was him resenting her or blaming her
- 4:00Speaker 7: for them not having success with their fertility journey. He
- 4:03Speaker 7: revealed one of his worst fears, what if I fall off?
- 4:06Speaker 7: Would you still love me? You know what I'm saying,
- 4:07Speaker 7: Like fifty said, So, I think that that was great communication.
- 4:12Speaker 7: I love the fact that he led with clarity, right
- 4:14Speaker 7: he said, Well, first of all, I still.
- 4:17Speaker 6: Want to marry you. I love you.
- 4:19Speaker 7: I want to be with you, kid or not, I
- 4:21Speaker 7: still want He looked at her beautiful daughter, Layelle, and
- 4:24Speaker 7: he said, I still want to call you step daughter
- 4:26Speaker 7: or daughter at some point. It was just a very
- 4:28Speaker 7: genuine conversation where each participant's intentions were made clear up front,
- 4:33Speaker 7: and that's the kind of shit that works for me,
- 4:35Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. We could talk about anything,
- 4:37Speaker 7: and we lay the groundwork and then we know where
- 4:40Speaker 7: we're coming from.
- 4:41Speaker 6: Let's talk through it.
- 4:42Speaker 7: I think that they definitely are in love, and her
- 4:45Speaker 7: and her man look good together. He holds her down
- 4:49Speaker 7: and allows her to shine as bright as she can
- 4:51Speaker 7: because she's such a magnetic, powerful woman with a beautiful
- 4:56Speaker 7: life that she's built through her work. It's a lot
- 4:58Speaker 7: of layers here what I'm saying, so miss me, because
- 5:01Speaker 7: I've seen a lot of the conversation about what he
- 5:04Speaker 7: said are offering up that scenario, that worst case scenario
- 5:07Speaker 7: about his income faltering.
- 5:10Speaker 6: That was him being vulnerable and honest.
- 5:12Speaker 7: There was not no red fucking flag or none of
- 5:14Speaker 7: that other bullshit I saw people saying when they can't
- 5:17Speaker 7: just appreciate a motherfucker having an adult conversation about important
- 5:22Speaker 7: things that they need to talk about right with his
- 5:25Speaker 7: beautiful black woman on television. And look right here, I
- 5:29Speaker 7: don't trust him probably single. You know what I'm saying,
- 5:32Speaker 7: I don't say missus m aj spe Wow.
- 5:36Speaker 3: So I just.
- 5:40Speaker 7: Feel like, you know what I'm saying, Like I thought
- 5:42Speaker 7: it was a great scene. I think him and Bo's
- 5:44Speaker 7: gonna be all right. I love the way that they
- 5:46Speaker 7: were communicating with each other.
- 5:48Speaker 5: And look it worked out for Tammy Rowman and her Man,
- 5:51Speaker 5: you know what I mean. Like that's another example, Like
- 5:53Speaker 5: she felt that pressure and when she let it go,
- 5:55Speaker 5: they seem they seem very fine. I loved properly. I
- 5:59Speaker 5: love that.
- 6:00Speaker 3: How do I follow that? Watching you? Well, No, I'm
- 6:07Speaker 3: gonna do her proud.
- 6:08Speaker 6: First of all, Damn, I love you.
- 6:13Speaker 3: I was trying to keep my face straight. I'm very
- 6:15Speaker 3: bad at it.
- 6:18Speaker 8: Yes, I figured with everything I've heard thus far, and
- 6:20Speaker 8: I think there's two things. Number One, the thing that
- 6:23Speaker 8: people are misidentifying as a red flag I think is
- 6:25Speaker 8: them missing context.
- 6:27Speaker 5: You know.
- 6:27Speaker 8: Let's say doesn't want to do a comedy show and
- 6:31Speaker 8: he was dating somebody amazing, and he was like, hey,
- 6:34Speaker 8: this is something i'm trying out. If it works out, great,
- 6:36Speaker 8: If it doesn't, I still have a million other things going.
- 6:39Speaker 3: And then he's having a moment with.
- 6:40Speaker 8: His partner and his partner's being like her, and then
- 6:43Speaker 8: he says, well, if my comedy show didn't work out,
- 6:45Speaker 8: would you still love me?
- 6:46Speaker 3: And she's like, of course I would it.
- 6:47Speaker 8: He's like exactly, I'm doing something that I care about,
- 6:51Speaker 8: but even if it doesn't work out, I know that
- 6:52Speaker 8: we're bigger than this thing, right, So I think they
- 6:55Speaker 8: missed the context that he was probably referencing that I
- 6:57Speaker 8: already know that you care about me regardless of money,
- 7:00Speaker 8: the same way I need you to remember I care
- 7:01Speaker 8: about your regardless of fertility. So I think people are
- 7:04Speaker 8: like missing the context of the comment because it felt
- 7:07Speaker 8: like an ongoing conversation between a couple where he already
- 7:10Speaker 8: knew her answer was no, and was using as an
- 7:12Speaker 8: analogy to make her realize, this means as little to
- 7:14Speaker 8: me as as money means to you, because we love
- 7:16Speaker 8: each other that much.
- 7:17Speaker 3: Right.
- 7:17Speaker 8: Secondly, I think there's also some healing in the baby
- 7:21Speaker 8: journey because she lost a child and then had a
- 7:26Speaker 8: child with a man who passed away, so she does
- 7:28Speaker 8: not know what it's like to have a father in
- 7:32Speaker 8: her child's life who's even available, and so I think
- 7:35Speaker 8: it's one of those things. And I think being Claudia
- 7:36Speaker 8: touched about this when it comes to anything fertility related,
- 7:39Speaker 8: you don't want false hope and you're open for beautiful surprises,
- 7:43Speaker 8: and so she probably thought, Okay, this season of my
- 7:46Speaker 8: life is over, and then meeting him reintroduced the possibility
- 7:50Speaker 8: and gave her a chance to hope logically again. And
- 7:53Speaker 8: so now she's like, Oh, I just just had a
- 7:55Speaker 8: reason to hope, and now I'm having to grieve that.
- 7:57Speaker 8: I'm gonna have to go back to resigning myself to
- 7:59Speaker 8: maybe this season really is over. And so if you
- 8:01Speaker 8: lost a child and have the opportunity to have another
- 8:04Speaker 8: child with a man that you love in your second
- 8:06Speaker 8: chapter of life, of course you're going to be excited
- 8:09Speaker 8: about that in a way that you probably didn't know
- 8:10Speaker 8: that you could ever be excited. And then to realize, oh,
- 8:13Speaker 8: the eggs are not going to work out. There's a
- 8:15Speaker 8: mourning in that, you know what I mean. So I
- 8:16Speaker 8: don't think it's just about her being weak or not.
- 8:19Speaker 8: I think she's mourning again something that she had already
- 8:22Speaker 8: probably told her stuff to never having, And as a woman,
- 8:25Speaker 8: there's a complicated vulnerability in that that her being able
- 8:29Speaker 8: to say to him and him holding her to Dustin's
- 8:31Speaker 8: point with so much care and intentionality.
- 8:33Speaker 3: I actually think it was the opposite of a red flag.
- 8:35Speaker 3: It was a green flag. To me, I agree with
- 8:39Speaker 3: all three of you. I thought it was a green flag.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Because of this, I think you're looking at two people
- 8:45Speaker 2: over forty, right, and when you're dating over forty you
- 8:49Speaker 2: have to have tough conversations. Everybody knows my journey of dating. Hey, Dustin,
- 8:55Speaker 2: where you have because me, it doesn't talk where. I'm
- 9:02Speaker 2: really big on having the tough conversations date one because
- 9:06Speaker 2: I just I don't have time to waste. I think,
- 9:10Speaker 2: and I think when you're when you're over a particular age,
- 9:12Speaker 2: is an opportunity to make sure that you you're you're.
- 9:16Speaker 3: Not just wasting time.
- 9:18Speaker 2: And I tell everybody like, look, this ain't no shade,
- 9:21Speaker 2: This ain't no no no be. If we're not aligned
- 9:25Speaker 2: on the same path where we're going, then let's not
- 9:28Speaker 2: waste each other's time.
- 9:29Speaker 3: So I thought it was two people saying, look, are
- 9:33Speaker 3: you gonna resent me?
- 9:34Speaker 2: Let's talk about it now so that I can move
- 9:35Speaker 2: on from this and so the pain won't hurt as much.
- 9:39Speaker 2: And I feel like he understands too. In this business
- 9:42Speaker 2: of entertainment, me and Claudia talked about this too.
- 9:46Speaker 3: This industry is broke, okay. The money that was here
- 9:52Speaker 3: ten years ago has been and.
- 9:56Speaker 2: It's it's a lot of people are getting laid off.
- 9:58Speaker 2: So it's not just this industry, it's it is just
- 10:00Speaker 2: the world we live in. The it's just the reality
- 10:04Speaker 2: of where we are. So I thought, as a man,
- 10:07Speaker 2: He's like, if I do lose my job, where does that?
- 10:12Speaker 3: What does that mean for us?
- 10:13Speaker 2: Because when it comes to a man, a man's identity
- 10:17Speaker 2: oftentime lies in his profession.
- 10:19Speaker 5: Sure does.
- 10:20Speaker 4: I had a relationship go left because of a job
- 10:23Speaker 4: change on his side, and I loved him, but I
- 10:28Speaker 4: wanted to marry him, and we talk about getting married.
- 10:30Speaker 4: But you know, it wasn't me wanting to leave him
- 10:34Speaker 4: when it happened. It was him not feeling good about himself.
- 10:39Speaker 3: There was no there was no.
- 10:41Speaker 5: Nothing I could do. I couldn't love him do it.
- 10:44Speaker 5: I couldn't.
- 10:44Speaker 4: It's how he felt about himself next to me. He
- 10:48Speaker 4: didn't want to walk down a red carpet. We didn't
- 10:50Speaker 4: have his job, He didn't want any attention on him.
- 10:52Speaker 5: He want none of that.
- 10:53Speaker 4: And then anytime I got a booking, you know, his
- 10:56Speaker 4: reaction definitely changed from when he had a job to
- 11:00Speaker 4: did and it made me want to play small.
- 11:01Speaker 5: And it just it's both people and it being miserable.
- 11:04Speaker 8: You know, yeah, we sale men by not teaching them
- 11:07Speaker 8: that they have more value out out of provision. I
- 11:09Speaker 8: think as a society we fail men when it comes
- 11:11Speaker 8: to their emotional intelligence about where their value lies. Because
- 11:15Speaker 8: you can be in between blessings and you still have value,
- 11:17Speaker 8: you know what I mean. And I think a lot
- 11:19Speaker 8: of people don't know how to be in that gap
- 11:21Speaker 8: between blessings. And I always say this, My issue was
- 11:23Speaker 8: never with broke men. It's men who feel broken because
- 11:26Speaker 8: they're broke. Because I can help you through a season,
- 11:28Speaker 8: but if you hate yourself, to Claudia's point, there's nothing
- 11:31Speaker 8: I can do to help you if you don't already
- 11:32Speaker 8: like yourself.
- 11:33Speaker 4: It was horrible to watch it because I knew it
- 11:35Speaker 4: was temper and I'm like, you, I believe Them'm like,
- 11:37Speaker 4: you're gonna be fine, Like it's gonna be a year
- 11:39Speaker 4: max probably, and he you know.
- 11:41Speaker 5: Got out of it. But it was after I couldn't
- 11:43Speaker 5: take it anymore.
- 11:43Speaker 4: Which is too it was too exact feet yeah now yep,
- 11:49Speaker 4: mm hm, yeah.
- 11:50Speaker 3: But it was that period to where yeah, and that's
- 11:53Speaker 3: that's real, Claudia.
- 11:55Speaker 4: Vibrate because it was so serious. When I break up though,
- 11:58Speaker 4: like usually and it's like painful like that. I go
- 12:01Speaker 4: full no contact, full no contact because like I was,
- 12:06Speaker 4: you know when it's heartbreaking like that, because if not,
- 12:08Speaker 4: you'll stop finding yourself compromising with being with like a
- 12:12Speaker 4: shell of the persson you had.
- 12:13Speaker 5: So I just got all the way out of the way,
- 12:15Speaker 5: all the way out of the way. So yeah, I
- 12:17Speaker 5: wish you well.
- 12:18Speaker 6: I did.
- 12:18Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm Augury. I think I think bows and.
- 12:22Speaker 6: Is a Keenan KILLI Killy Hilly, Okay.
- 12:27Speaker 3: I think I think both and Kelly will be fine.
- 12:29Speaker 2: So up next, the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season seventeen
- 12:37Speaker 2: trailer came out, and a lot of people had a
- 12:41Speaker 2: lot to say, including are very on.
- 12:43Speaker 3: Claudia Jordan, who trended on Twitter over the weekend. Yes,
- 12:47Speaker 3: and before I get the opinions.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Of Dustin and Blue and even myself, rain drops, let
- 12:55Speaker 2: us on the comments. What you thought of the Reyal
- 12:58Speaker 2: Housewives of Atlanta Season subventeen trailer. Claudia, you were at
- 13:05Speaker 2: the na A c P Image of War. You look
- 13:07Speaker 2: absolutely Yes.
- 13:10Speaker 6: Thank you, good friend, thank you all of you.
- 13:14Speaker 3: I appreciate that.
- 13:15Speaker 4: Gorgeous black designer, black designer, Sir Algernon, black designer, that
- 13:20Speaker 4: made it from scratch.
- 13:21Speaker 5: I had one fitting and fit perfectly.
- 13:23Speaker 6: Yes, Erica is beautiful too.
- 13:28Speaker 5: That blue on her skin just Wallace just gorgeous. But
- 13:32Speaker 5: okayd So, Claudia.
- 13:35Speaker 2: You made a comment about the Real Housewives of Atlanta trailer.
- 13:40Speaker 2: You said it was giving love and hip hop, and
- 13:44Speaker 2: you are looking to see more reality shows where it's
- 13:49Speaker 2: it's less drama.
- 13:51Speaker 3: Still some drama, but less attack.
- 13:53Speaker 2: So want to make sure I got you, you know,
- 13:55Speaker 2: yeah yeah, And a lot of people had it was
- 13:59Speaker 2: a mixed mixed reviews. So I would like for you
- 14:02Speaker 2: to explain your opinion based on why do you think
- 14:06Speaker 2: that the Royal House Spots Atlanta trailer gave love and
- 14:09Speaker 2: hip hop?
- 14:10Speaker 4: Everyone's saying it, but I'm bold enough to say this
- 14:12Speaker 4: shit on a red carpet in my designer gown for
- 14:15Speaker 4: Image Award that I'm nominated for. Okay, so be mad
- 14:19Speaker 4: and every time, can we just put this one narrative
- 14:22Speaker 4: to bed. I am being asked my opinion of a show.
- 14:30Speaker 4: It is not me asking the interviewer.
- 14:33Speaker 5: Can I can I talk about it a lot of housewives?
- 14:36Speaker 5: Because I want to be on there so badly? Please stop?
- 14:39Speaker 4: I'm asked the question, as well as a lot of
- 14:41Speaker 4: other things I asked me. So now that we got
- 14:44Speaker 4: that out the way, I get sick and tired of
- 14:47Speaker 4: having to say this and explain it like I'm talking
- 14:49Speaker 4: to five year olds like as opined as people on
- 14:55Speaker 4: the comments who have zero experience on television shows, in.
- 14:58Speaker 5: The business or even around these people.
- 15:00Speaker 4: At least I have a year in there, right, so
- 15:03Speaker 4: I am more than qualified to speak on this, even
- 15:07Speaker 4: if I never had a day on a set of
- 15:09Speaker 4: a reality show. Much like you guys are all in
- 15:11Speaker 4: the comments, neighborhood talk, this shade room, boss up, ball
- 15:14Speaker 4: of Alert, Hollywood Unlocked, y'all'll be doing the thing.
- 15:18Speaker 5: So can we just get that out the way.
- 15:19Speaker 4: We're all equal, we can all speak on the things
- 15:21Speaker 4: that we see now, and we have that out the way. Yes,
- 15:24Speaker 4: it looked a little bit different this year, but I wasn't.
- 15:28Speaker 4: I'm not necessarily mad at it. I actually think the
- 15:30Speaker 4: trailer to me seems a little interesting and exciting. I'm
- 15:34Speaker 4: I'm interested in seeing Pinky Pinky storyline.
- 15:37Speaker 5: I really am now and I didn't know much about her.
- 15:39Speaker 4: Like, yes, it gave love and hip hop, and then
- 15:41Speaker 4: the attack was, well you're on Love and Hip Hop.
- 15:43Speaker 5: Yes the fuck I am. You know why because we're
- 15:45Speaker 5: in a recession and they saved me.
- 15:49Speaker 4: Okay, so until I get my Dallas show in New York,
- 15:55Speaker 4: I will take a four or five figure check to
- 15:58Speaker 4: make an appearance on a show.
- 16:01Speaker 5: I will be on Zeus, I will be on v
- 16:04Speaker 5: H one. All that ship. There is an instagram, y'all
- 16:12Speaker 5: can call me.
- 16:13Speaker 4: I will do low end t B movies, medium and
- 16:16Speaker 4: t B movies, movie that in the theaters.
- 16:18Speaker 5: And did I'll do all that Sam high.
- 16:21Speaker 4: I pay all my bills. My mortgage is ridiculous. My
- 16:25Speaker 4: car insurance is seven hundred dollars. My home insurance is
- 16:28Speaker 4: more than that. Like my bills are high.
- 16:31Speaker 2: So yes, y'all.
- 16:32Speaker 4: My house is beautiful and it's being remodeled. I still
- 16:35Speaker 4: have like about three more things I want to do
- 16:36Speaker 4: that are going to be like a lot of money.
- 16:38Speaker 3: So guess what I will be not too many, not
- 16:40Speaker 3: too many renovations.
- 16:42Speaker 4: Yeah, I will be with the Love and Hip Hop.
- 16:46Speaker 4: And Drew called me and said, I want you to
- 16:47Speaker 4: come do some stuff with Atlanta.
- 16:48Speaker 5: I will be there.
- 16:50Speaker 4: I will be the Tie of the I'll be the
- 16:52Speaker 4: straight version of Tie I'll be on all the reality shows.
- 16:54Speaker 5: Okay, but I have a contract. Oh you said it, Okay,
- 16:58Speaker 5: I said, listen, when have I not? Okay?
- 17:03Speaker 4: So I need Jesus, Okay, Okay. So what I said was, yes,
- 17:07Speaker 4: it was given more love and hip hop, but I
- 17:09Speaker 4: wasn't dragging it. I actually thought the news the trailer
- 17:12Speaker 4: looks interesting. I think it looks interesting, but it definitely
- 17:16Speaker 4: y'all could be a delusion on y'all in the watching.
- 17:19Speaker 4: Y'all can be delusion if you want and fool yourself
- 17:21Speaker 4: to act like what we see now is anything like
- 17:24Speaker 4: what Housewives was five years ago, six years ago.
- 17:27Speaker 3: It's not.
- 17:28Speaker 5: It looks different.
- 17:29Speaker 4: The tone is different. It's more aggressive. It's more like,
- 17:32Speaker 4: you know, and I don't mean that as a dig
- 17:34Speaker 4: at black women. Don't get me wrong, Okay, It's just
- 17:37Speaker 4: it's more like fiery. Before it was more like verbal jars.
- 17:40Speaker 4: But now you see people getting ready to buck up
- 17:41Speaker 4: and all that.
- 17:42Speaker 5: I'm not. I'm not actually mad at it looks like
- 17:45Speaker 5: it's interesting.
- 17:46Speaker 4: But then I also said on that same interview, which
- 17:48Speaker 4: no one picked this part up, everybody says they they
- 17:52Speaker 4: talk shit about the shows that are that are ghetto
- 17:54Speaker 4: or fighting, or the love and hip hops or the zeuses.
- 17:57Speaker 4: But then when people try to do positive reality shows
- 18:00Speaker 4: with less drama, what do y'all do? You don't support
- 18:02Speaker 4: it with the ratings like you do the shows that
- 18:03Speaker 4: have all the drama. So which one do you want?
- 18:05Speaker 5: Six or seven? Which one do you want?
- 18:10Speaker 3: Lord?
- 18:11Speaker 5: What do y'all want?
- 18:12Speaker 4: I mean, I like the bougie style of housewives show,
- 18:16Speaker 4: and I'm also kind of here for this next season.
- 18:18Speaker 4: I think it looks like it's gonna be interesting. So,
- 18:21Speaker 4: in the words of d MX, what your niggas want
- 18:23Speaker 4: from me?
- 18:23Speaker 3: I don't really know.
- 18:27Speaker 5: What do y'all want from me? I'm always wrong to
- 18:29Speaker 5: some of y'all. I'm always wrong.
- 18:31Speaker 4: I'm always wrong when I say the same things y'all
- 18:33Speaker 4: saying on your group chat. But it's because me and
- 18:35Speaker 4: I did one season. I can't speak on it.
- 18:37Speaker 5: Fuck y'all. How about that.
- 18:40Speaker 3: Tonight?
- 18:41Speaker 5: Yes, my iron is coming back.
- 18:44Speaker 3: I think I see your friend it is it is
- 18:47Speaker 3: you have a lot of iron, Mike Ty said. So
- 18:50Speaker 3: the thing is this like that, this is reality with
- 18:56Speaker 3: the King and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back in
- 19:00Speaker 3: to the show. I will say this.
- 19:03Speaker 2: I respectfully disagree with you, right, and that that's the
- 19:07Speaker 2: beauty of this channel.
- 19:09Speaker 8: Right.
- 19:11Speaker 2: I did not get love and hip Hop when I
- 19:14Speaker 2: watched it. I understood what you were trying to say
- 19:17Speaker 2: in terms of.
- 19:20Speaker 3: In terms of the tone you felt. I felt like
- 19:23Speaker 3: you were talking about the tone and that's what so
- 19:27Speaker 3: I didn't get that. I watched it. I enjoyed it.
- 19:30Speaker 2: I thought, listen, trailers nowadays are just a snapshot, but
- 19:34Speaker 2: the season is. I do agree that trailers no longer
- 19:38Speaker 2: are a coming attraction or sneak peek of the full movie.
- 19:42Speaker 2: It really isn't trailers. Back in my day, trailers were
- 19:48Speaker 2: you put your best foot forward. And I think nowadays
- 19:50Speaker 2: for social media, a lot of networks don't want to
- 19:53Speaker 2: give too much away, and I also think they try
- 19:57Speaker 2: to scale things back, and unfortunately it just leads people
- 20:00Speaker 2: coming up with different scenarios, whether it's it's too much
- 20:03Speaker 2: or it's too less.
- 20:04Speaker 3: Because I did think people say they were underwhelmed by it, right.
- 20:10Speaker 2: The thing that I saw was listen, this is a
- 20:13Speaker 2: whole new world in terms of what they're entering. Came
- 20:16Speaker 2: Michelle's on It, Pinkies on It, and I thought, for me,
- 20:22Speaker 2: it was a trailer that gave me enough to where
- 20:26Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to the season.
- 20:28Speaker 3: And that's what you said to Claudia, I didn't.
- 20:30Speaker 2: Get Love and hip Hop though, before I move on
- 20:33Speaker 2: to Blue and Dustin, I do want you to address
- 20:36Speaker 2: this because I agree with you. I know people like
- 20:39Speaker 2: to put words in your mouth, and I want to
- 20:41Speaker 2: have the opportunity for you to address it. There were
- 20:44Speaker 2: people saying, Claudia that they felt that you sak and
- 20:47Speaker 2: gave Love and hip Hop was because k Michelle is
- 20:50Speaker 2: in it, and I wanted you to be able to
- 20:54Speaker 2: clear the air about that.
- 20:56Speaker 5: And if I did so, what she was a standout
- 20:59Speaker 5: from Loving It hip Hop?
- 21:00Speaker 4: Why are we playing dumb here and trying to find
- 21:03Speaker 4: some coded insult in there that I am. I'm it's like,
- 21:06Speaker 4: it's more than it is, Like, please stop with that nonsense.
- 21:09Speaker 4: She was a standout on Love and Hip Hop. She
- 21:12Speaker 4: was hilarious.
- 21:14Speaker 5: She and I'm talking.
- 21:15Speaker 4: Speaking of someone who was very good friends to meet
- 21:16Speaker 4: me who they got into it. I can still be objective.
- 21:20Speaker 5: She was hilarious on that show and she gave good
- 21:23Speaker 5: TV shaking the table. We love that. What is wrong
- 21:27Speaker 5: with that? And then you know, I mean I'm not.
- 21:30Speaker 5: It's not a dig to me. I mean, why can't
- 21:32Speaker 5: people see it?
- 21:33Speaker 4: Like I'm actually on Love and hip Hop and I
- 21:36Speaker 4: went from house I went the other way, right from
- 21:38Speaker 4: housewives to Love and hip Hop. There's a lot of
- 21:40Speaker 4: cross promotions a lot of these shows. We talked about,
- 21:42Speaker 4: some of these other shows with the controversy that was
- 21:45Speaker 4: around Married to Medicine and some of these other shows
- 21:49Speaker 4: people talking about like the crossing of shows and all that,
- 21:52Speaker 4: and casts going from one show to the next. It's
- 21:54Speaker 4: just kind of a different time now where it's like
- 21:56Speaker 4: not as looked down upon it, and I'm not even
- 21:58Speaker 4: mad at it.
- 21:59Speaker 5: I'm not.
- 21:59Speaker 4: It's and it's established a person in reality that we
- 22:02Speaker 4: know that they're gonna bring it. It's not like trying
- 22:05Speaker 4: an unknown where we don't know how it's gonna go.
- 22:08Speaker 4: I'm not mad at it, and it's not like I'm
- 22:10Speaker 4: I don't think ky Michelle is bringing the franchise down
- 22:13Speaker 4: at all. I think she's actually gonna be hilarious. And
- 22:16Speaker 4: now that I see how it all works, at first,
- 22:18Speaker 4: I go live like, how's it gonna be? When I
- 22:20Speaker 4: saw the trailer, it look very entertaining. I mean some
- 22:23Speaker 4: people can say overwhelming, but like again, we all have
- 22:26Speaker 4: different opinions. I'm not trashing the lady for being on
- 22:29Speaker 4: the show. I'm not even saying she's bringing it down.
- 22:31Speaker 4: But they want me to say that. They want it
- 22:33Speaker 4: to be a negative. And people have been trying to
- 22:35Speaker 4: use Kma.
- 22:35Speaker 5: Schelle for that thing.
- 22:36Speaker 4: Like you say anything about it, it's like you're It's like,
- 22:39Speaker 4: I'm not doing that to a black woman.
- 22:41Speaker 5: I'm not doing that to her.
- 22:42Speaker 4: So y'all can come up with whatever narratives y'all want
- 22:45Speaker 4: in the comments. As a NAACP nominee, for now, I'm
- 22:51Speaker 4: not addressing it anymore.
- 22:56Speaker 3: Blue, Well, thank you, Claude. I want to make sure
- 22:58Speaker 3: you're addressed that. Thank you, Thank you, Blue. What are
- 23:02Speaker 3: your thoughts?
- 23:02Speaker 8: First question, Claudia, which one is six and which one
- 23:05Speaker 8: is seven?
- 23:06Speaker 3: It's been bothering me since.
- 23:07Speaker 4: We think is the old one Because I was dating
- 23:10Speaker 4: a guy that was trying to be a rapper, a
- 23:11Speaker 4: struggle rapper, and he called himself the six million dollar man.
- 23:13Speaker 5: He want to have a baby with me.
- 23:14Speaker 4: I said, we just start with the cat first, and
- 23:16Speaker 4: the first ego. I was like, I'm named the cat
- 23:18Speaker 4: after you.
- 23:19Speaker 5: That's your son the orange blue.
- 23:21Speaker 3: Okay, I'm mex to color.
- 23:22Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 23:23Speaker 3: I was like, oh, so which color is?
- 23:26Speaker 2: Little?
- 23:26Speaker 5: One is seven?
- 23:27Speaker 4: Because seven is my favorite number because I play craps
- 23:29Speaker 4: and the okay, the Lord seven days to make you
- 23:32Speaker 4: know the world and you know I'm a Christians.
- 23:35Speaker 3: Seven is the gray one and six is the orange one.
- 23:37Speaker 5: I love Dustin sit up here.
- 23:39Speaker 3: Translating for me.
- 23:41Speaker 6: I speak Claudia fluently, So I wanted.
- 23:46Speaker 3: To know thank you high seven. It's so funny.
- 23:50Speaker 8: I think I don't know if the trailer gives Love
- 23:53Speaker 8: and Hip Hop. I do feel like the exchange between
- 23:55Speaker 8: King Michelle.
- 23:56Speaker 3: And Rusl Door definitely does.
- 23:59Speaker 8: So it's almost like Drew I always thought would be
- 24:02Speaker 8: great on a show like Love and Hip Hop because
- 24:04Speaker 8: she comes ready to play.
- 24:05Speaker 3: And then the women sometimes get a little bit you know,
- 24:07Speaker 3: holier than.
- 24:08Speaker 8: Now with her, and so it feels like she wants
- 24:10Speaker 8: somebody to have a fun little key key with and
- 24:12Speaker 8: she can take it, you know what I mean.
- 24:13Speaker 3: She's actually really good at taking it.
- 24:14Speaker 8: They're constantly swiping at her, and unlike the Ashley Darby's
- 24:18Speaker 8: of the world, I don't think she's.
- 24:19Speaker 3: A one trick poner. She got a new trick every season.
- 24:20Speaker 8: I love it, right, So I think the Drew and
- 24:23Speaker 8: Ky Michelle of it all might be reminiscent of love
- 24:26Speaker 8: and hip hop. But what I saw was something that
- 24:28Speaker 8: Claudia mentioned is it does feel like they're leaning towards
- 24:30Speaker 8: a younger demographic, like they're refreshing it because the original
- 24:34Speaker 8: og Atlanta Housewife fans are like in their fifties now right,
- 24:38Speaker 8: like the fandom has actually aged, but they feel it
- 24:42Speaker 8: feels like they're reaching back to get more of the
- 24:43Speaker 8: younger demographic, and that might be what people are responding to.
- 24:46Speaker 3: Even the colors, I was like, this feels very brats dall.
- 24:49Speaker 5: Everything was very white and it looks different.
- 24:52Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks like in Nickelodeon. Later I was like,
- 24:55Speaker 3: what's happened? It's very alive blues.
- 24:56Speaker 8: Clues, Gracie's corner, so Clinton them colors don't say perimenopause.
- 25:03Speaker 8: I know perimenopausal colors. It's not pink, so.
- 25:07Speaker 3: Tell me about it. I'm gonna stop stipping, sorry y'all. Anyways,
- 25:11Speaker 3: though it looks like a good time.
- 25:14Speaker 5: My.
- 25:19Speaker 6: Friends are crazy. They are yes.
- 25:27Speaker 3: And blue.
- 25:29Speaker 7: All right, So you know, unpopular opinion here. But I
- 25:36Speaker 7: still ain't nobody told me what the fuck it giving
- 25:39Speaker 7: love and hip hop even means?
- 25:41Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, What does that even mean?
- 25:44Speaker 2: It?
- 25:44Speaker 5: What?
- 25:45Speaker 7: Nothing about that trailer felt like I was watching the
- 25:47Speaker 7: episode of Love and hip Hop, and I don't think
- 25:49Speaker 7: nothing is wrong with love and hip hop, So I'm
- 25:52Speaker 7: offended by the even the idea of it. Right, people
- 25:56Speaker 7: saying the show change is so different. Now, let's break
- 25:59Speaker 7: it down. In the trailer, you have Portia accusing Kelly
- 26:03Speaker 7: of sleeping with a mary man.
- 26:05Speaker 6: Hello.
- 26:06Speaker 7: Season one, they accused Kim Zosiak of sleeping with a
- 26:09Speaker 7: married man, and it became one of the biggest storylines
- 26:12Speaker 7: that carried all the way over.
- 26:14Speaker 6: Into the season fucking teen reunion.
- 26:16Speaker 7: Okay, oh, it's loving hip hop because they holding Kate
- 26:20Speaker 7: Michelle back from fighting Drew season one. On the reunion couch,
- 26:26Speaker 7: Lisa was holding Nini back from lundon at Kim, it's true,
- 26:31Speaker 7: what are y'all talking about? Like we're talking about financial
- 26:34Speaker 7: Pinky has financial issues. Schirey was going through financial hell
- 26:38Speaker 7: season one. Didn't know she was gonna have a pot
- 26:40Speaker 7: to piss in or a window to throw it out of.
- 26:43Speaker 7: It's not a departure from the original formula of the show.
- 26:47Speaker 7: And I don't understand what people even mean when they
- 26:49Speaker 7: say it's giving love and hip hop.
- 26:52Speaker 6: No the fuck is not.
- 26:54Speaker 7: And if you homophobic, don't say it's giving nothing, because
- 26:57Speaker 7: that's black gay slang that y'all have reappro propriated and
- 27:01Speaker 7: taken and ran with.
- 27:02Speaker 6: So that's another thing.
- 27:03Speaker 7: Are you Bible thumpers who have a problem with homosexuals
- 27:07Speaker 7: and the LGBTQ plus and don't even take the time
- 27:10Speaker 7: and have the patience to remember the order of the letters.
- 27:13Speaker 7: Don't say shay T is giving. Don't say none of
- 27:16Speaker 7: that shit. All that is blackgay slang. But that's another
- 27:19Speaker 7: lesson for another time. I don't think this is quote
- 27:23Speaker 7: unquote giving love and hip hop. I think it looked
- 27:26Speaker 7: like a very interesting trailer. Pinky Cole is a personal
- 27:29Speaker 7: friend of mine. I've been doing Pinky for years. When
- 27:32Speaker 7: I hosted two seasons of a show called bet on
- 27:35Speaker 7: Black on Revolt, Pinky was, Pinky and I were the
- 27:37Speaker 7: only people that came back. The judges panel changed and
- 27:41Speaker 7: Pinky remained. Pinky is a serial entrepreneur that's been very
- 27:44Speaker 7: honest about the ups and downs of business. And entrepreneurship.
- 27:48Speaker 7: That's gonna read well with the audience. She just made
- 27:51Speaker 7: headlines today for filing bankruptcy without shame.
- 27:54Speaker 6: Okay.
- 27:56Speaker 7: Pinky has a beautiful family. There's five children in her family, like,
- 28:00Speaker 7: there's a lot of story there and Pinky is very vocal.
- 28:03Speaker 7: She speaks up her and Ky Michelle. I believe our
- 28:06Speaker 7: sorority sisters. We have the insults flying between Pinky and Angela.
- 28:12Speaker 7: In the trailer, Angela called her Papa Smurphin and mister clean.
- 28:16Speaker 7: They talked about how each other looked the entirety of
- 28:18Speaker 7: season one. Remember Lisa wo just called Nini a moose
- 28:23Speaker 7: about two three weeks ago. In the media, they've been
- 28:26Speaker 7: talking about a body shaman, talking about how people look
- 28:28Speaker 7: so miss me, particularly with the It's giving love and
- 28:33Speaker 7: hip hop shit because I hate that whole conversation.
- 28:36Speaker 6: Enjoyed the show, that's all it is. Huh Lisa, who
- 28:41Speaker 6: is still trending on the baby she got friends.
- 28:44Speaker 7: She got drunk at the damn Remember when they did
- 28:47Speaker 7: the Ultimate Girls road Trips stop in Atlanta, Nini's return
- 28:50Speaker 7: to Bravo.
- 28:51Speaker 6: She was there because she's a season one cast member.
- 28:54Speaker 6: Apparently she got drunk and was.
- 28:58Speaker 7: Being drunk and starting ship Nini, saying Nini overlooked her
- 29:01Speaker 7: when she was mentioning the people there, and she created
- 29:04Speaker 7: a scene. Nini tweeted or posted in the comments like
- 29:07Speaker 7: girl by aa, you know what I'm saying, like telling
- 29:10Speaker 7: her to go to alcohol and now alcoholics anonymous.
- 29:13Speaker 6: So I say all that to say, all the things that.
- 29:15Speaker 7: People are attributing to giving love and hip hop have
- 29:19Speaker 7: been present since the day this fucking show came on
- 29:21Speaker 7: the air. Missed me with the conversation it just enjoyed
- 29:24Speaker 7: the show April fifth, right, April fifth.
- 29:27Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, I.
- 29:28Speaker 5: Feel like you're speaking to me because I said the comment.
- 29:31Speaker 7: I'm not but everything you just said, it's a ton
- 29:35Speaker 7: of people saying it. I'm the only one that said
- 29:37Speaker 7: it on the carpet, So I'm not going to you
- 29:39Speaker 7: talking to the people that's saying that I'm not.
- 29:42Speaker 5: I'm not appropriating anything. I just want to say.
- 29:46Speaker 4: I think that, Yes, you're right, a lot of those
- 29:48Speaker 4: things happened before, but we can't things got more. I mean,
- 29:52Speaker 4: I've seen there's a lot of stuff that didn't make
- 29:54Speaker 4: the cut. Carlos knows that, but things started to get
- 29:57Speaker 4: a little more ratchet in some season, okay, where before
- 30:02Speaker 4: it would be more verbal and things there was a
- 30:05Speaker 4: lot more frequency of things getting physical. I do think
- 30:08Speaker 4: the trailer looks I think the tone of the season
- 30:11Speaker 4: looks different than prior trailers.
- 30:13Speaker 5: Like the overall trailer looked like that.
- 30:16Speaker 4: Now that doesn't mean the season's gonna be like that,
- 30:18Speaker 4: but it different looks like younger, faster, quicker, quicker, like
- 30:21Speaker 4: a lot more of that and less like hoity tody
- 30:25Speaker 4: a nasty read with a glass of wine. It's more
- 30:28Speaker 4: like and I think that's what I took from it
- 30:31Speaker 4: from as far as like to me, I felt like
- 30:33Speaker 4: that it looked more, a little bit more towards that other,
- 30:36Speaker 4: that vibe of what.
- 30:37Speaker 6: You're saying, hold on blue.
- 30:39Speaker 7: So so the qualifiers we have at this point, right
- 30:43Speaker 7: for real, they're looking like love and hook hip hop
- 30:45Speaker 7: was it, and not having hoity toity people and having
- 30:49Speaker 7: a little bit more mm mm hmmm.
- 30:51Speaker 5: Well it's more than that. It's the trailer looked a
- 30:55Speaker 5: lot different than the past. It just looks it.
- 30:56Speaker 7: Looks like we gotta I just feel like we gotta
- 30:59Speaker 7: be clear because to me, now, you let me be clear,
- 31:03Speaker 7: right because it's ain't.
- 31:03Speaker 3: I'm not talking about this is This is a good
- 31:06Speaker 3: discussion because.
- 31:08Speaker 6: Continue to hear you say what.
- 31:10Speaker 5: What it is? Me though, because we're talking about I'm.
- 31:12Speaker 7: Not talking about your opinion. I'm speaking to the issue.
- 31:15Speaker 7: So I just want to be clear on it. I'm
- 31:17Speaker 7: not like challenging what you how you felt about it.
- 31:20Speaker 7: I'm not challenging that. I'm just saying I think a
- 31:24Speaker 7: lot of times when people continue to repeat things that
- 31:27Speaker 7: they've heard, this person ain't got no storyline. The ratings
- 31:32Speaker 7: is love, it's giving love and hip hop. Like you
- 31:34Speaker 7: hear one person say that, You hear people say it
- 31:36Speaker 7: all the way through, and nobody ever clearly defines like
- 31:40Speaker 7: what it means. I don't think my in my opinion
- 31:44Speaker 7: right as far as like what love and hip hop
- 31:46Speaker 7: is or whatever. I didn't feel like the trailer mirrored.
- 31:50Speaker 7: That felt like a house to me.
- 31:55Speaker 3: And I'll get your second blow.
- 31:56Speaker 2: As somebody who worked on a lot of housewives and
- 32:00Speaker 2: Love and Hip Hop, right, I will say this, in
- 32:04Speaker 2: the earlier days, it was extremely apparent the distinction of
- 32:10Speaker 2: the show right based on these sort of broad strokes
- 32:15Speaker 2: that was like pain brush on it.
- 32:17Speaker 3: Right, So yeah, Atlanta.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Housewives was always seen as the sort of upper echemom
- 32:23Speaker 2: black female ensemble show. Love and Hip Hop was seen
- 32:27Speaker 2: as the more greedy show. As somebody who worked on both,
- 32:31Speaker 2: what I will say is this, I've always believed that
- 32:37Speaker 2: both shows deserve the same amount of respect in terms
- 32:42Speaker 2: of as black people, we're all trying to figure things out.
- 32:46Speaker 2: And yes, there were tons of theory moments. I mean,
- 32:51Speaker 2: my girl Cherae pulled kimswig season two, episode four, right,
- 32:57Speaker 2: it was always his intersection that was very clear.
- 33:02Speaker 3: The only difference was, and this is.
- 33:04Speaker 2: Again I'm speaking as a producer only not a viewer,
- 33:08Speaker 2: was the sort of tonality of how it was presented, right,
- 33:14Speaker 2: Charay pulling Kim's wig was no different to me than.
- 33:23Speaker 3: Jos Lene getting into her Carly Ray.
- 33:27Speaker 2: The only difference was Charay had on Chanelle and at
- 33:31Speaker 2: that time jos Len had on you know what she
- 33:35Speaker 2: had on? So what I do think is happening as
- 33:39Speaker 2: we fast forward, right, and this is this is what
- 33:42Speaker 2: I want to get to Claudia's comment about just shows
- 33:45Speaker 2: being dramatic, because there are people who do feel like,
- 33:49Speaker 2: what can there be a show about black women who
- 33:51Speaker 2: get along as somebody who creates shows. I'll even say this,
- 33:59Speaker 2: at the end of the day, when people are at home,
- 34:02Speaker 2: they want entertainment, and you do have the sort of high.
- 34:08Speaker 2: It's what Tyler Perry he said this. I'm not calling y'all,
- 34:11Speaker 2: this is what he said. Tyler Perry said that is
- 34:15Speaker 2: these uppitty negroes right who feel like, why are you
- 34:21Speaker 2: showing this? And why are you showing that? And listen,
- 34:24Speaker 2: I get shame for my own shows too, But for me,
- 34:27Speaker 2: I never go into eat of my shows thinking more
- 34:29Speaker 2: or less of this.
- 34:30Speaker 3: I go into can we show the reality of what
- 34:33Speaker 3: all are going through?
- 34:34Speaker 6: Right?
- 34:34Speaker 2: And in the midst of that, when you get people together,
- 34:37Speaker 2: it's something dramatic is going to happen. If we hung
- 34:39Speaker 2: out for three months, we're going to get to argument, right,
- 34:43Speaker 2: because we're the four of us are very type A personalities.
- 34:48Speaker 2: So I say all of that to say I do
- 34:52Speaker 2: think there's room for both. And last, but not least,
- 34:55Speaker 2: there's a shows washed up the weekend called The CEO
- 34:57Speaker 2: Club that was just about on Amazon Prime is EP
- 35:03Speaker 2: by Serena Williams. It's Serena Williams, Winnie Harlow, Lauren Reneger.
- 35:08Speaker 3: And Yes, yes, So that's my point.
- 35:15Speaker 2: It's a show that I binge over the weekend, call
- 35:20Speaker 2: the the CEO Club on Amazon Prime's not getting any press,
- 35:25Speaker 2: it's not getting traction.
- 35:27Speaker 3: And let's have a conversation because of y'all, not the
- 35:32Speaker 3: three of y'all meaning the audience.
- 35:34Speaker 2: So those same people who want it, there's a show
- 35:37Speaker 2: out there that Dustin the Historian has even heard of.
- 35:42Speaker 2: Because y'all aren't watching it. Y'all claim y'all wanted. Y'all
- 35:45Speaker 2: was dissing summer House, Martha's Vineyard, Oh my god, it's
- 35:49Speaker 2: so boring, nothing's happening. And the show got canceled up
- 35:52Speaker 2: the two seasons, which I do think this I no
- 35:56Speaker 2: longer subscribe to.
- 35:58Speaker 3: Can the show be A or B?
- 36:00Speaker 2: I'm at the point in my career where it can
- 36:01Speaker 2: it show be good?
- 36:02Speaker 3: Can I can I? Can I get a.
- 36:04Speaker 2: Cast who needs to work? Can I get a cast
- 36:06Speaker 2: who clocks in? Can I get a cast who's not
- 36:09Speaker 2: going to go on social media and blame production for
- 36:13Speaker 2: how they acted? And because social media read them, they
- 36:16Speaker 2: want to Recarlos King. I want a cast to where
- 36:20Speaker 2: you knocked on my door signed to do the show,
- 36:24Speaker 2: and then when you got there. I ain't talking about that.
- 36:26Speaker 2: That's too personal. We need to talk more about that
- 36:31Speaker 2: versus whether something seems to be dramatic, and at the
- 36:35Speaker 2: end of the day, is what you guys want.
- 36:38Speaker 6: I agree they do want that.
- 36:39Speaker 5: That's why the bar keeps moving.
- 36:41Speaker 4: And again, it's not meant to be a disc it's
- 36:46Speaker 4: meant to say I, in my opinion, this square thinks.
- 36:51Speaker 5: It's just different. It just looks different than what it
- 36:54Speaker 5: used to be.
- 36:55Speaker 8: I just add some language though, because Justin asked a
- 36:57Speaker 8: really great question. I do want us to answer because
- 36:59Speaker 8: it's not rhetorical. That actually is an answer for it.
- 37:02Speaker 8: Justin said, we say things, and he's right that we
- 37:04Speaker 8: don't define. And I actually do think that Claudia is
- 37:09Speaker 8: she's targeting something or picking up on something that we
- 37:12Speaker 8: do need to define.
- 37:13Speaker 3: The clarify for the audience.
- 37:14Speaker 8: If you are looking at reality to be like a dial,
- 37:17Speaker 8: can we all be honest if there's a dial from
- 37:19Speaker 8: mainstream to high class.
- 37:21Speaker 3: Black to nigga shit, can we all be honest?
- 37:24Speaker 8: Right?
- 37:24Speaker 6: Yes?
- 37:25Speaker 3: And so shows like CEO.
- 37:27Speaker 8: Club, which I was actually gonna mention, so I'm happy
- 37:29Speaker 8: you mentioned it, which I also binged because I was like,
- 37:31Speaker 8: this is so wholesome.
- 37:31Speaker 3: I feel like my credit score were not just watching
- 37:33Speaker 3: this and having a play in the background, but of.
- 37:36Speaker 8: Williams and good Whites just being really lovely to each
- 37:39Speaker 8: other and signing checks for Venture capuls fun.
- 37:40Speaker 3: It's like, oh my god, this is amazing. Right, I
- 37:43Speaker 3: love Hannah Broffman, you are my girl.
- 37:45Speaker 8: So from the Serena CEO Super and they call that
- 37:48Speaker 8: a docuseries right when it's really mainstream and white adjacent.
- 37:52Speaker 8: It's called a docuseries when it's super super, super Ratchet,
- 37:55Speaker 8: it's considered the love and hip hop turn of the
- 37:57Speaker 8: dial all the way up, and the middle of the
- 38:00Speaker 8: unfortunately is the bougie Blacks. I think what Claudia's responding
- 38:04Speaker 8: to is there were moments where I don't even know
- 38:07Speaker 8: if m Zosie I can fight, because she doesn't have
- 38:09Speaker 8: to know how to fight to be on that show, right,
- 38:10Speaker 8: So there were moments where Atlanta hovered in.
- 38:13Speaker 3: The middle as bougie Black. Then it would.
- 38:16Speaker 8: Sometimes dial up towards Ratchet, and then the last couple
- 38:19Speaker 8: of years it died right back down to almost boring. Right,
- 38:22Speaker 8: the dial for Atlanta keeps moving, So to Dustin's point,
- 38:26Speaker 8: He's right, there were times where.
- 38:27Speaker 3: Atlanta was kissing nigga shit.
- 38:29Speaker 8: But then to Claudia's points, for there are several years
- 38:32Speaker 8: when it died back down to the bougie blacks, and
- 38:35Speaker 8: I think, because it's been so boring or safe for
- 38:38Speaker 8: the last couple of years, I think she's accurately picking
- 38:42Speaker 8: up on an uptick towards ratchet nigga shit. But to
- 38:44Speaker 8: Dustin's point, they've done that to niggashit before, So I
- 38:47Speaker 8: think you're both actually right. The dowt just moving with
- 38:50Speaker 8: that show that was just foah yeah, And and the
- 38:55Speaker 8: thing is is something that evolve.
- 38:58Speaker 2: So what I want to do is when the trailer dropped,
- 39:01Speaker 2: Caym and Shell and Drew got into a war of words, okay,
- 39:09Speaker 2: and I want to read you guys exactly what happened.
- 39:12Speaker 2: So the trailer dropped juice door, Claudia's cousin.
- 39:17Speaker 3: Said, it's your.
- 39:18Speaker 4: Real cousin, her everything a and Michael Jordan. I told
- 39:23Speaker 4: y'all a million times we have I will see them all.
- 39:25Speaker 6: Together, and I'll always leave Barbara.
- 39:30Speaker 5: Keep me acting funny. Sometimes we don't be around her
- 39:33Speaker 5: like that.
- 39:36Speaker 3: When the trailer dropped Juice, a door said, welcome to
- 39:39Speaker 3: the jungle. Cami Shell and Pinky Cole keeping getting peachy.
- 39:43Speaker 2: There's got a whole lot wilder the Real houseplos on
- 39:47Speaker 2: the latter returns April fifth, Cam and Schev responded, Yes,
- 39:51Speaker 2: Drew spelled, check and awe. You're almost their little lady.
- 39:55Speaker 2: But why would I get attention from you when you
- 39:58Speaker 2: barely made the cut? I have to say to you right,
- 40:01Speaker 2: tell the people why you are just narrating, no worries.
- 40:06Speaker 2: I got you every time, beauty. I never get any
- 40:10Speaker 2: thanks that deserve Juice. Dourra responded, barely made the cut.
- 40:16Speaker 2: I'm five seasons in. You thought I wasn't easy target,
- 40:21Speaker 2: but you got the right one.
- 40:22Speaker 6: See you.
- 40:22Speaker 2: April fifth, at ahm On Bravo, Hakuna matata kiy Michelle girl,
- 40:30Speaker 2: thank you. You are the lying king. Roar juse Dourra said,
- 40:36Speaker 2: if I'm the lining king, you just a yodling hoot,
- 40:41Speaker 2: making noise for attention, no power, no truth. Dustin Ross,
- 40:47Speaker 2: who has a sold out show Mars Summit teens with
- 40:49Speaker 2: a second one, Adam the same night in New York City?
- 40:53Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on these war of words?
- 40:56Speaker 3: Did anybody win the war to.
- 40:58Speaker 6: You this bat No know.
- 41:00Speaker 7: It was a draw to me because both of them
- 41:01Speaker 7: was corny in my opinion, but entertaining nonetheless right entertainment,
- 41:07Speaker 7: lighthearted jabs back and forth. This is what you want
- 41:11Speaker 7: the Housewives to do, A lighthearted, witty verbal exchange. You
- 41:15Speaker 7: know what I'm saying. Over in social media, they've been again.
- 41:18Speaker 7: They've been doing this shit since the beginning. Let's take
- 41:21Speaker 7: it back to the rite of blog days when they
- 41:23Speaker 7: wrote a blog on Bravo dot com and talk shit
- 41:26Speaker 7: the entire time. So this is nothing new for the
- 41:29Speaker 7: crowd that says, you know the phrase that must not
- 41:32Speaker 7: be said. But yeah, shit, you know what I'm saying.
- 41:36Speaker 7: I thought it was great. Give me more, give me more,
- 41:38Speaker 7: give me more. I can't wait for the season. This
- 41:41Speaker 7: is exactly what I want them to be doing.
- 41:45Speaker 3: Blue.
- 41:47Speaker 8: I honestly think it's I think it's wonderful. I think
- 41:49Speaker 8: this is I think if Angel had come in with
- 41:51Speaker 8: this kind of energy, I'd like more.
- 41:55Speaker 9: So.
- 41:56Speaker 8: I just feel like, after watching you know, Sadness and
- 41:58Speaker 8: whatnot for the past, have iver seend many episodes of
- 42:01Speaker 8: that other franchise. It's nice to see housewives back to
- 42:04Speaker 8: being housewives and not having to go to therapy sessions
- 42:07Speaker 8: for like different scenes. So this is the levity tea
- 42:10Speaker 8: that makes the show fun. They're both in on the joke.
- 42:13Speaker 8: To Dustin's point, it's fun when everybody's in on the joke.
- 42:16Speaker 8: Everybody's acting like they're doing a reenactment of Paris is burning.
- 42:19Speaker 8: We all hear the key, right, Kiki, The shade shade
- 42:22Speaker 8: means you know you ugly.
- 42:23Speaker 3: I didn't gotta say it, right.
- 42:25Speaker 8: I love that quote, but no, I love this iteration
- 42:29Speaker 8: of it because I think this is what's gonna pull
- 42:32Speaker 8: the viewers back, because last season got.
- 42:34Speaker 3: A little bit dark.
- 42:36Speaker 8: There was a cloud over the last season or two
- 42:39Speaker 8: that made me feel like it's this franchise over. It
- 42:41Speaker 8: feels rejuvenated to me. So I actually am very much
- 42:44Speaker 8: looking forward to ky Michelle and Drew the door just
- 42:46Speaker 8: tugging on each other's wigs all season long.
- 42:48Speaker 3: Yes, Claudia, I also thought it was a little corny.
- 42:56Speaker 4: I'm like, I guess I don't know what the backstory
- 42:58Speaker 4: is enough about why they're already so much beef between
- 43:01Speaker 4: Drew and ky Michelle, like out the gate, damn, and
- 43:04Speaker 4: we haven't seen it yet, so we don't know. I heard,
- 43:06Speaker 4: of course, little things, but yeah again, uh, it's an
- 43:10Speaker 4: injection and a shot in the arm to give some
- 43:13Speaker 4: energy back on the show.
- 43:14Speaker 5: We love certain things about last season.
- 43:16Speaker 4: Angela Oakley mainly, but now there's other reasons that doesn't
- 43:20Speaker 4: have to just be all on Angela's back to carry
- 43:23Speaker 4: the season, Like we see this other potential, uh not
- 43:29Speaker 4: just overly done storylines, like some fresh stuff like what really?
- 43:33Speaker 4: Who knew there was beef between Ky Michelle and and
- 43:35Speaker 4: and Drew and now we know? So I'm looking forward
- 43:38Speaker 4: to it. It seems it's gonna be exciting.
- 43:39Speaker 5: So I just hope no one. I don't want to
- 43:42Speaker 5: see any fights. I want verbal verbal because I.
- 43:49Speaker 4: See that on the other showing about Claudia respect.
- 43:54Speaker 3: You don't back down? Are you serious?
- 44:00Speaker 2: That's because they both just listen. They both aren't the
- 44:05Speaker 2: equivalent of I said.
- 44:07Speaker 7: I said, like, it's okay, it's not even like a
- 44:13Speaker 7: it's not personal for me, you know what I'm saying,
- 44:15Speaker 7: Like it's okay.
- 44:16Speaker 6: Yeah, No, I love it.
- 44:17Speaker 3: I love it, And that's how you have a healthy debate.
- 44:22Speaker 3: So listen. In case you guys haven't heard.
- 44:24Speaker 2: With Drew's numerous posts, The Real Hospitals of Atlanta returns.
- 44:33Speaker 3: June, promoting Baby.
- 44:35Speaker 2: It returns Sunday, April fifth, And when I say to you,
- 44:37Speaker 2: I'll say this much.
- 44:39Speaker 3: There is something about Atlanta that just drives me up
- 44:45Speaker 3: the wall in the best way possible.
- 44:47Speaker 2: I literally cannot wait to recap this show with y'all's.
- 44:54Speaker 2: There is I think about this show that when we
- 44:57Speaker 2: talk about it, there's people who text me that's on
- 45:00Speaker 2: the show that'd be like, I heard what y'all saying.
- 45:03Speaker 2: But nonetheless, nonetheless, let's get into another show that people
- 45:09Speaker 2: are watching and texting me last week. So we need
- 45:12Speaker 2: to get into the Real Housewives of Potomac Part three reunion.
- 45:21Speaker 2: I want to start off by addressing me getting dragged
- 45:25Speaker 2: on Twitter all day today.
- 45:28Speaker 5: Hey what you do now? Friend?
- 45:29Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about it. So rain drops, come in,
- 45:33Speaker 2: come in, come in. And the beauty of this panel
- 45:38Speaker 2: is as you as all saw earlier. We all keep
- 45:42Speaker 2: it real with each other. It's like with you, we
- 45:44Speaker 2: can disagree, get a little boomboo. Once we log off,
- 45:48Speaker 2: we don't think about no more. So Claudia, Dusted and
- 45:51Speaker 2: Blue feel free to say what you gotta say before
- 45:55Speaker 2: we get to the rest of the reunion. I would
- 45:59Speaker 2: like to addressed me getting dragged on Twitter, because.
- 46:05Speaker 3: That just doesn't a big serious.
- 46:10Speaker 2: I'm getting dragged because Giselle Kobe Bryant, a name I
- 46:14Speaker 2: gave her, did not have a package this reunion, and
- 46:21Speaker 2: they are dragging me because they said I am the
- 46:24Speaker 2: one that you know, said.
- 46:27Speaker 3: She's a force multiplier. How you know Gazelle Kobe Bryant
- 46:31Speaker 3: is not riding the bench, you know what?
- 46:35Speaker 2: How dreadful that you know gizl who you call the
- 46:39Speaker 2: star of the show, had no package. She lost her
- 46:44Speaker 2: seat to Wendy and all these things. So listen, I
- 46:50Speaker 2: understand the optics, right, and I'm here to say this obviously,
- 46:56Speaker 2: it's not great.
- 46:59Speaker 3: It's not great. Mm hmm, it ain't great. It ain't great.
- 47:03Speaker 2: As a gazelle apologists, don't be Jesus.
- 47:08Speaker 3: I'm actually a poor chapologist. But hey, Claudia, oh my.
- 47:12Speaker 5: God, that's breaking news. Wow, somebody clip this and give.
- 47:20Speaker 3: It to the shape room. This show is so fasty
- 47:26Speaker 3: that we're all dragging each other tonight.
- 47:27Speaker 2: Anyways, Claudia, like I was saying, no hauts aside, it's
- 47:32Speaker 2: not great. It's not great, And the reason why it's
- 47:36Speaker 2: not great is because, and I'm gonna say it, it's
- 47:38Speaker 2: not great because they actually kept it in the episode.
- 47:43Speaker 3: It's not great because they kept that moment in the episode. Yeah,
- 47:48Speaker 3: and it was Listen.
- 47:54Speaker 2: It's what I always tell the girls who reach out
- 47:58Speaker 2: to me or who I'm mentor or who I work with.
- 48:03Speaker 2: You should never get comfortable. I'm not saying Gazelle's comfortable.
- 48:06Speaker 2: What I'm saying is if I was Giselle Kobe Bryant,
- 48:10Speaker 2: I would be worried because they kept that in And that,
- 48:14Speaker 2: to me is sending a message, and it's sending a
- 48:18Speaker 2: message for us to talk about You're only as good
- 48:22Speaker 2: as your last episode, You're only as good as your
- 48:24Speaker 2: last season. There's plenty of girls who had better seasons
- 48:30Speaker 2: that are on the show. And not having a package means, yes,
- 48:34Speaker 2: you don't have a storyline.
- 48:36Speaker 3: That's exactly what it means. I'm not here to mince words.
- 48:39Speaker 2: When you don't have a package, that absolutely means you unfortunately,
- 48:43Speaker 2: did not have a storyline that was worthy of a
- 48:46Speaker 2: three part reunion, not one part, not two, but three
- 48:52Speaker 2: And it is concerning and for me, it goes to
- 48:56Speaker 2: show you that you could be the face of the show,
- 48:59Speaker 2: the fourth wall, supplying all these things. But you have
- 49:03Speaker 2: to be more than just I throw Shae, I move
- 49:06Speaker 2: story forward, I do all these things. In my opinion,
- 49:09Speaker 2: I think Gizelle is still one of the greatest, but
- 49:12Speaker 2: yet having no package, I would be concerned.
- 49:17Speaker 4: Also, like when she gave her own she said, fuck it,
- 49:20Speaker 4: I'm giving my own package, my own recap when she
- 49:22Speaker 4: said she's dating a set she was dating a congressman,
- 49:25Speaker 4: this that and the other, and all the drama around
- 49:27Speaker 4: the you know, the fathers with the money and all.
- 49:29Speaker 8: That, Like.
- 49:31Speaker 5: The fans were definitely.
- 49:35Speaker 4: Jimped you know what I mean, Like that could have
- 49:37Speaker 4: been maybe you can allude to your dating. Maybe you
- 49:39Speaker 4: don't show the congressman. So I understand that that's very
- 49:41Speaker 4: hard for them to go on a.
- 49:42Speaker 5: Show like that.
- 49:43Speaker 4: They can't, but like do it, Like how Kim Zozie
- 49:45Speaker 4: I had missed a big and just or whatever his name,
- 49:47Speaker 4: Big Papa, Big Papa, show that you've got something going
- 49:51Speaker 4: on and that it's a big secret, and then let
- 49:52Speaker 4: that be the storyline.
- 49:53Speaker 5: Let everybody try to figure out who it is.
- 49:55Speaker 4: But she I think she missed an opportunity to have
- 49:58Speaker 4: she could have had a really popping storyline actually, because
- 50:00Speaker 4: that's interesting.
- 50:01Speaker 5: That family drama. Will she will she not win the
- 50:04Speaker 5: court case?
- 50:05Speaker 4: You know, who the hell is she dating that's in politics,
- 50:07Speaker 4: living in DC, in the DC area, Like, I think
- 50:10Speaker 4: that would have been highly entertaining and good for her,
- 50:14Speaker 4: you know, and good for her because yeah, now I
- 50:16Speaker 4: having a package that's damn there in front of the show.
- 50:18Speaker 4: And as much as Ashley gets dragged, she had a package, right.
- 50:22Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, she had one.
- 50:27Speaker 2: Claudia, you, being a reality star, would you be concerned
- 50:32Speaker 2: if you were Gazelle?
- 50:34Speaker 5: Hell yeah.
- 50:35Speaker 4: When I was at the Housewives and y'all never show
- 50:36Speaker 4: my stand up comedy, I said, oh, I know, I
- 50:38Speaker 4: ain't come back next season. Oh shit, y'all did y'all
- 50:41Speaker 4: did the whole photo shoot out everybody there that I
- 50:43Speaker 4: fucking killed it at the show, y'all didn't show it.
- 50:45Speaker 5: I said, oh, I already know. And then someone suggested
- 50:48Speaker 5: I pretend I was dating an R and B singer,
- 50:50Speaker 5: but I didn't do it. But anyways, wow, yeah, of course,
- 50:57Speaker 5: of course.
- 50:57Speaker 4: But I think Gizelle, she's because of her status with
- 51:00Speaker 4: that show, she doesn't she'll be back next season. But
- 51:02Speaker 4: if it's like two seasons like that. Hell yeah, but yeah, absolutely,
- 51:07Speaker 4: of course I mean something. And like you said, they
- 51:09Speaker 4: kept that in the show.
- 51:11Speaker 5: I don't have a package because it pointed it out
- 51:14Speaker 5: even more. Mm hmm yeah, that show show it.
- 51:18Speaker 8: Why did it feel like you were preemptively reading her
- 51:20Speaker 8: reality eulogy at the beginning?
- 51:22Speaker 3: I was like, dude, do you like her because you
- 51:27Speaker 3: convinced me she shouldn't come back to Hell.
- 51:30Speaker 2: I love her, but I got listen, I worked these reunions.
- 51:35Speaker 2: When listen, I know what happens in these meetings. That's
- 51:39Speaker 2: why I said to the Raindrops Blue, I said, let's
- 51:43Speaker 2: be clear, there is a there's a meeting that lasts
- 51:47Speaker 2: up good god, there's a meeting that lasts up to
- 51:51Speaker 2: an hour where you talk about the seating assignment. It's
- 51:56Speaker 2: not happenstances. These are everything you're seeing on these shows.
- 52:01Speaker 2: There's thought, there's process, is very methodical. Right when you
- 52:07Speaker 2: don't have a package, that means that.
- 52:13Speaker 3: That's not great. And I'm not I'm not gonna sit
- 52:16Speaker 3: there and say, well, you know, no, I'm gonna be real.
- 52:18Speaker 2: I still love her. I think she's great for the
- 52:21Speaker 2: show still, but yes, I do think everybody should look
- 52:25Speaker 2: at their career.
- 52:25Speaker 3: And say, am I too comfortable? Do I need to
- 52:29Speaker 3: accept up?
- 52:30Speaker 2: It's the reason why I worked six jobs because I'm
- 52:33Speaker 2: just like, uh, I don't you know you you never
- 52:36Speaker 2: want to.
- 52:37Speaker 3: Wrestle your laurels. And I thought it was it was
- 52:40Speaker 3: a strong message. And again, if I was just Zell,
- 52:44Speaker 3: I would definitely be a little worried. I think about it.
- 52:47Speaker 8: Though, her strongest moments were part of other people's packages,
- 52:51Speaker 8: So even though she sill didn't get a package, we
- 52:53Speaker 8: still saw her strongest moments. That is her fault, right
- 52:57Speaker 8: If all your strongest moments are tethered to other old
- 53:00Speaker 8: flushed even angel. If all your big moments are parts
- 53:04Speaker 8: of somebody else's package, you've kind of given it away,
- 53:07Speaker 8: but you don't have your own thing that's howsed with you.
- 53:10Speaker 8: And I think that kind of speaks to how she
- 53:12Speaker 8: showed up this season. I do think it's an accurate
- 53:14Speaker 8: display of how she showed up. I'm shocked that actually
- 53:17Speaker 8: got a package, right, she might have negotiated that to
- 53:19Speaker 8: stay back. I will say this though, Gazelle being in
- 53:22Speaker 8: the middle of the couch, I think had she not
- 53:25Speaker 8: been so seasoned and been a veteran, she probably would
- 53:27Speaker 8: have been at the edge of the couch with a
- 53:29Speaker 8: jazzy in them, right, Like she really did not have
- 53:31Speaker 8: much of her own thing going on. And the thing
- 53:34Speaker 8: about her mother and stuff, I mean her stepmom and
- 53:37Speaker 8: the thing they did that last season Claudia, and it
- 53:39Speaker 8: didn't do anything with the audience. So I think the
- 53:41Speaker 8: things that she's mentioning tested and nobody cared.
- 53:45Speaker 3: I don't think we were robbed. I think nobody cared.
- 53:47Speaker 8: And for Gazelle and Ashley, I know that Ashley works
- 53:51Speaker 8: overtime when the cameras are off, so that we care
- 53:53Speaker 8: when the cameras are on. Gezelle goes home to her kids,
- 53:56Speaker 8: which is great, right. I think the show is getting
- 53:59Speaker 8: away from her. I think the Wendy of it all,
- 54:01Speaker 8: and the Karen of it all, even the Angel of
- 54:04Speaker 8: it all, got so much bigger that she kept on
- 54:08Speaker 8: feeling like a very prominent supporting character in other people's stories.
- 54:13Speaker 8: And she's she's been doing this for a while and
- 54:15Speaker 8: gotten away with it. She's gonna actually have to find
- 54:17Speaker 8: her own story time And how do we find obout
- 54:18Speaker 8: the Congressman Claudia, Because they were asking Ashley about dating
- 54:22Speaker 8: a politician, and she was like, oh, I.
- 54:23Speaker 3: Thought you were talking about my politicians.
- 54:25Speaker 8: There's a deradition in that even the way we find
- 54:27Speaker 8: out about her information feels desperate her. Her grip is
- 54:30Speaker 8: loosening more than she realizes. And I think Andy sees
- 54:33Speaker 8: it because when they said, well, she said, doesn't have
- 54:34Speaker 8: a package, and he was like, WHOA.
- 54:37Speaker 4: And she should be worried because you guys are familiar
- 54:40Speaker 4: with Drake how he bets on major sporting events, and
- 54:44Speaker 4: whenever he bets on that team or that game, that
- 54:47Speaker 4: team always loses.
- 54:49Speaker 5: Carlos King, I think you're.
- 54:51Speaker 9: The Drake of reality because you are really going hard
- 54:57Speaker 9: for Mia and then she was gone, and then now
- 55:01Speaker 9: and she got no package, and I'm a little bit scared.
- 55:08Speaker 2: Don't do it.
- 55:09Speaker 3: Don't do it, don't do it.
- 55:11Speaker 2: I at the end of the day, okay, MEI leaks,
- 55:17Speaker 2: Teresa Judies, don't play with me.
- 55:20Speaker 3: Okay, playing all your picks. But I'm just saying, I'm
- 55:23Speaker 3: just saying. I'm just saying.
- 55:24Speaker 2: But my thing is this, let the record show you're
- 55:27Speaker 2: talking about Potomac.
- 55:29Speaker 3: Okay, that's about me.
- 55:32Speaker 2: It's more about these girls understanding how the show works
- 55:34Speaker 2: that I helped build where they're able to.
- 55:37Speaker 6: Have the job.
- 55:38Speaker 5: Okay, Drake for Potomac.
- 55:41Speaker 8: All it's a seasonal Drake. You're a seasonal Drake. It
- 55:45Speaker 8: depends on location, everything else.
- 55:47Speaker 2: You're hitting you Madden's you know a thousand just I made,
- 55:51Speaker 2: I made safety Rush my reality.
- 55:53Speaker 5: Don't play her name and about to be going.
- 55:57Speaker 6: Your well go ahead.
- 56:04Speaker 7: As a person with a package, my package is very
- 56:08Speaker 7: important to me, Okay, I coveted and me having a
- 56:12Speaker 7: package that is represented and presented in the best light
- 56:17Speaker 7: is important to me and to my core. So I
- 56:20Speaker 7: can only imagine that as a reality star, having a
- 56:23Speaker 7: package would be just equally as important to me. Gizelle
- 56:27Speaker 7: got to step it up. Stop lying and living your
- 56:29Speaker 7: life behind the curtain. You know what I'm saying. Put
- 56:32Speaker 7: your man on the front. Get a nigga that's willing
- 56:34Speaker 7: to film with you. You know what I'm saying.
- 56:36Speaker 6: Put your I can only remember maybe one scene this entire.
- 56:41Speaker 7: Season, season ten, in Jazelle's crib, and you know when
- 56:45Speaker 7: you in her house because you never forget how her
- 56:47Speaker 7: house looks, so you know where you're at and I
- 56:50Speaker 7: didn't see, But not one scene I only remember maybe
- 56:52Speaker 7: one scene in her house. So that's Jazelle's deficiency, you
- 56:57Speaker 7: know what I'm saying. She needs to figure out a
- 56:59Speaker 7: way to add add more to the story when it
- 57:02Speaker 7: comes to her, and hopefully she will. I don't think
- 57:04Speaker 7: she's in danger of removal from the cast by any means.
- 57:09Speaker 7: I think that she just needs to step it up.
- 57:12Speaker 7: And I think she's staying on them stove pipe legs
- 57:15Speaker 7: like Karen said.
- 57:17Speaker 6: And she'll stand up. She'll step it up, So I'm
- 57:19Speaker 6: with it.
- 57:21Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Okay. So I'm going to be very transparent
- 57:27Speaker 2: in this one, so Dustin, I may have to have
- 57:31Speaker 2: you do this one for me, okay, because I do
- 57:35Speaker 2: not want to get emotional.
- 57:38Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, So we need to get into Wendy's package. Okay,
- 57:51Speaker 3: So let's let's get to that.
- 57:55Speaker 2: I want to give it out the way, and then
- 57:56Speaker 2: we'll go back and talk about Monique and and and Stacey,
- 57:58Speaker 2: because that's the update that we have all right. In
- 58:01Speaker 2: an effort not to cry on camera because I don't
- 58:04Speaker 2: like doing that, what I will say is I can't
- 58:09Speaker 2: I can't talk about the Wendy and Eddie situation without
- 58:15Speaker 2: me getting choked up because It's a very serious situation,
- 58:21Speaker 2: and just like all of us have friends in the business,
- 58:27Speaker 2: my bias will show in terms of the love. I
- 58:30Speaker 2: have a Wendy who in real life is a friend who.
- 58:36Speaker 3: Texts on birthdays.
- 58:38Speaker 2: You know when she talked about October ninth, is when
- 58:40Speaker 2: the police came to her door. She texts me, case,
- 58:44Speaker 2: my birthday's October second, and she texted me, I want
- 58:47Speaker 2: to say the day before or something, just saying.
- 58:50Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I'm going to birthday and we and
- 58:53Speaker 3: her have a great report. It was very hard to
- 58:57Speaker 3: watch her go through the line of questioning and I
- 59:03Speaker 3: can't talk about it. It was hard for me. It
- 59:05Speaker 3: was hard for me to watch it so dustin her
- 59:10Speaker 3: and just explain the Wendy and Eddie.
- 59:15Speaker 6: Moment.
- 59:16Speaker 7: For sure, I think that number one. The other ladies,
- 59:19Speaker 7: her fellow cast members gave her a lot of grace.
- 59:22Speaker 7: There was not a grilling of sources that took place.
- 59:26Speaker 7: I think Andy asked some pretty direct questions that Wendy
- 59:29Speaker 7: answered as honestly as she could or as as detailed
- 59:32Speaker 7: it with as much detail as she could. She talked
- 59:36Speaker 7: about the timeline of her home being burglarized and the
- 59:41Speaker 7: accusations or allegations that the state of Maryland is Maryland. Yeah,
- 59:46Speaker 7: Maryland is bringing to her. And so she she said
- 59:50Speaker 7: as much as she could. She was so detailed and
- 59:53Speaker 7: opening her her speech and dialogue on the stage that
- 59:57Speaker 7: Karen told her to shut the fuck up, you know
- 1:00:00Speaker 7: what I'm saying.
- 1:00:01Speaker 6: And so that was like a real thing. People feel
- 1:00:04Speaker 6: like Wendy overshared.
- 1:00:05Speaker 7: Some people feel like she may have put her case
- 1:00:09Speaker 7: in a jeopardy in some way by speaking so freely
- 1:00:12Speaker 7: on the stage.
- 1:00:12Speaker 6: I don't know. I'm not no lawyer.
- 1:00:14Speaker 7: I'm not here to make those determinations. But that's kind
- 1:00:18Speaker 7: of where it went. And every time Wendy talked about
- 1:00:21Speaker 7: details related to the case, she made it personal. When
- 1:00:25Speaker 7: she had an opportunity to respond to negative comments that
- 1:00:27Speaker 7: were made about her, she declined to respond to them,
- 1:00:30Speaker 7: saying that she was going through so much that she
- 1:00:33Speaker 7: couldn't worry about the opinions of other people. She talked
- 1:00:36Speaker 7: about her children and the discovery of the robbery and
- 1:00:40Speaker 7: things like that. So she made it really personal, which
- 1:00:42Speaker 7: kind of I'm assuming created that response that you're having
- 1:00:47Speaker 7: right now, Carlos, verys emotional for you, right.
- 1:00:49Speaker 6: She personalized the headlines.
- 1:00:52Speaker 7: In a way that made us have some of us
- 1:00:55Speaker 7: have empathy for her on that stage, but she also,
- 1:00:58Speaker 7: to some people's determined was talking too much and was
- 1:01:02Speaker 7: too cocky and arrogant and not present enough in the
- 1:01:07Speaker 7: trauma and turmoil that she's currently going through. So whatever
- 1:01:10Speaker 7: your take is, it was a very raw look into
- 1:01:13Speaker 7: her situation. And I personally was surprised at the Ashleys
- 1:01:17Speaker 7: and Giselle's and hell Angel and Kei Earnus because both
- 1:01:23Speaker 7: of them weren't in the best place with Wendy at
- 1:01:25Speaker 7: the time. I was surprised that they did not go
- 1:01:29Speaker 7: deeper or further into Wendy's situation. I was actually pleasantly
- 1:01:33Speaker 7: surprised that they didn't, because it showed a little humanity.
- 1:01:38Speaker 4: Agreed, and I thought from the time we got the
- 1:01:41Speaker 4: news about Wendy that this reunion was going to be help.
- 1:01:44Speaker 4: I think I haven't said she to be surprised that
- 1:01:46Speaker 4: she showed up because a lawyer probably telling not you,
- 1:01:48Speaker 4: And it's kind of like what Karen was saying, you
- 1:01:50Speaker 4: saying too much, like to.
- 1:01:51Speaker 5: Get her more in trouble.
- 1:01:53Speaker 4: So yeah, to me though, it made me feel a
- 1:01:57Speaker 4: little bit more nervous for her because when you know what,
- 1:02:00Speaker 4: it's like nothing right surfish, You're like, we're gonna get
- 1:02:03Speaker 4: all little jabs in. But if you really feel like
- 1:02:05Speaker 4: this is some real shit right here with her, and
- 1:02:08Speaker 4: she seems like a woman that's nervous, not saying that
- 1:02:10Speaker 4: she's guilty at all.
- 1:02:12Speaker 5: I do not know the facts of the case.
- 1:02:13Speaker 4: I'm not saying that at all, but it is you
- 1:02:15Speaker 4: don't have to be guilty to be nervous about the case.
- 1:02:18Speaker 4: Right There's plenty of people that go to the person
- 1:02:20Speaker 4: that are just didn't have the best legal defense, or
- 1:02:23Speaker 4: if they want to get you, they're gonna get you,
- 1:02:24Speaker 4: or technicality or whatever.
- 1:02:27Speaker 5: It just looked like a woman that is scared.
- 1:02:32Speaker 4: Even if her husband did it and she didn't. Because
- 1:02:34Speaker 4: she didn't, it did come out that she had nothing
- 1:02:36Speaker 4: to do with the paying the bills, a mortgage.
- 1:02:37Speaker 5: And all that she like, let trust our husband totally.
- 1:02:40Speaker 5: Imagine being that this is just hypothetical.
- 1:02:42Speaker 4: Imagine being in that position where you love your man,
- 1:02:45Speaker 4: your down form and you know you've got to put
- 1:02:47Speaker 4: out a united front to the world because you're on
- 1:02:50Speaker 4: reality TV. Plus that's your husband, and then something like
- 1:02:53Speaker 4: this happens, even if you like you have nothing to
- 1:02:54Speaker 4: do with it.
- 1:02:55Speaker 5: You can't throw him under the bus.
- 1:02:57Speaker 4: You have to just keep your mouth shut and take
- 1:02:59Speaker 4: the arrows that are comment at you, all while saying
- 1:03:03Speaker 4: I'm just worried about that. I do not envy her position,
- 1:03:05Speaker 4: but I will say I agree with you, Dustin, like
- 1:03:07Speaker 4: I love that the women didn't take that opportunity to
- 1:03:11Speaker 4: kick her when she was down. But it also made
- 1:03:14Speaker 4: me feel like, damn, maybe maybe it is more dire
- 1:03:16Speaker 4: for her than, you.
- 1:03:18Speaker 5: Know, than we may think. And I hope it's not.
- 1:03:20Speaker 5: You know, I hope it's not.
- 1:03:21Speaker 7: But that's why she looked the fun good. I say
- 1:03:26Speaker 7: that while she was talking about it, she looked great.
- 1:03:28Speaker 7: And I love the fact that she was dabbing her
- 1:03:30Speaker 7: makeup and you could see that full finger linked ring
- 1:03:33Speaker 7: she had on, and she was going, she.
- 1:03:35Speaker 5: Looked bomb in this whole season, all out with the
- 1:03:37Speaker 5: hair of the everything she can't with it.
- 1:03:40Speaker 6: Shout out to Paris set.
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: Yeah, she looked, she looked great. I'm blue.
- 1:03:48Speaker 8: I felt the probably the most empathy that I've ever
- 1:03:53Speaker 8: felt with Wendy watching three, because here's the thing that
- 1:03:57Speaker 8: a lot of people in the audience do not understand
- 1:04:01Speaker 8: when we watch someone who is very prideful. Because I
- 1:04:03Speaker 8: have a lot of Nigerian friends in the LA area.
- 1:04:06Speaker 8: Because I think some Nigerianian friends I'm not I am,
- 1:04:11Speaker 8: I kind of look like it, I know. And one
- 1:04:13Speaker 8: thing I can tell you about Nigerian people is they
- 1:04:15Speaker 8: are very prideful people.
- 1:04:17Speaker 6: Yes, And for.
- 1:04:19Speaker 8: Someone as prideful and well educated as Wendy to show
- 1:04:25Speaker 8: up simultaneously with vulnerability and dignity, you could tell she's
- 1:04:30Speaker 8: been humbled by this and she still maintained her dignity.
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: It does something to people, particularly in black women.
- 1:04:37Speaker 8: We like to see bougie hoity people when they're down
- 1:04:40Speaker 8: and out fall to pieces. We almost get a sick
- 1:04:44Speaker 8: satisfaction from watching them fall.
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: Apart.
- 1:04:47Speaker 8: The fact that she was able to be so vulnerable
- 1:04:49Speaker 8: while still maintaining her dignity, I know it messed with
- 1:04:51Speaker 8: people a little bit. People who wanted to see her
- 1:04:54Speaker 8: crumble are annoyed that she still has dignity even during
- 1:04:58Speaker 8: a dark time, rather than being inspired by And that's
- 1:05:00Speaker 8: a nastness in the audience that y'all need to examining yourselves, right.
- 1:05:04Speaker 8: And I think people like Wendy you are unsympathetic victims
- 1:05:07Speaker 8: when things happen to them. We forget to humanize them
- 1:05:10Speaker 8: because we're thinking, oh, you think you're big and bad,
- 1:05:11Speaker 8: not thinking there's a person and children and a family
- 1:05:14Speaker 8: and a whole ecosystem that is being adversely affected. Even
- 1:05:17Speaker 8: when Angel tried to say, well, the whole time you
- 1:05:18Speaker 8: were messing with me is because you knew you had
- 1:05:20Speaker 8: this thing happening, and when he said no, that's not
- 1:05:22Speaker 8: the timeline, she didn't get the defence, and she said no,
- 1:05:25Speaker 8: if this happened in twenty twenty four, I did not
- 1:05:27Speaker 8: think of it again until twenty twenty five, and then
- 1:05:29Speaker 8: show up to my door.
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: That is false.
- 1:05:31Speaker 8: And so to see someone like Wendy be so humble.
- 1:05:35Speaker 8: I think that's why the way Karen showed up bothered
- 1:05:38Speaker 8: me so much, because it felt like you were taking
- 1:05:41Speaker 8: someone who was as prideful as you while they were down.
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: When they didn't do it when it was your turn first.
- 1:05:46Speaker 8: And there was a nastiness in that because Karen is
- 1:05:51Speaker 8: mad at Wendy for Wendy calling her out right darvo.
- 1:05:54Speaker 8: Right when you attack, when you tell somebody, hey, you
- 1:05:56Speaker 8: hurt my feelings, they flip it now they're hurt that
- 1:05:59Speaker 8: you're hurt mm hmm, that they hurt your feelings, which
- 1:06:02Speaker 8: is very toxic. And to be so toxic to Wendy
- 1:06:06Speaker 8: and say things and bring up her mother in a
- 1:06:09Speaker 8: really abusive and toxic and painful scene and weaponize that
- 1:06:13Speaker 8: and say, well, the one thing I like when your
- 1:06:14Speaker 8: mother told you to shut the fuck up was so
- 1:06:17Speaker 8: nasty for someone who's supposed to be on a redemption arc.
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: Karen has completely lost me. I'm gonna be very Karen
- 1:06:22Speaker 3: Huger has lost me. And I was a big, big
- 1:06:25Speaker 3: fan of Karen Hugar and then today at the end, say, see,
- 1:06:27Speaker 3: I was trying to be like a mother to you.
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: That's why I told you to shut the fuck up.
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: That's a toxic matriarch.
- 1:06:33Speaker 8: You don't get to be verbally abusive to somebody while
- 1:06:35Speaker 8: they're down and then try to house it and nurturing energy.
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: Well, I was looking out for you. No, No, it's
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: given precious.
- 1:06:40Speaker 8: I'm not a fan of that. And I think the
- 1:06:42Speaker 8: fact that no matter when people were trying to I'm
- 1:06:44Speaker 8: not a fan, Okay, I'm not. It was very very monique.
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: And that's that Karen.
- 1:06:47Speaker 8: You could have kept that fam okay, And so Wendy
- 1:06:51Speaker 8: didn't get up and run away with with a bucket
- 1:06:53Speaker 8: and fried chicken.
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: She took it. She took it, and so I'm gonna
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: say Wendy.
- 1:06:57Speaker 6: Sorry, precious, which is.
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: Toxic matriarch.
- 1:07:06Speaker 8: So for Wendy to still take it like that and
- 1:07:09Speaker 8: then continue to thank the rest of them and then
- 1:07:12Speaker 8: say to Andy, Andy, you give the best hugs and
- 1:07:15Speaker 8: I needed that. My heart goes out to her. I
- 1:07:18Speaker 8: know we've made jokes before. My heart goes out to
- 1:07:20Speaker 8: her now in a way that didn't previously, because now
- 1:07:23Speaker 8: I'm seeing how will this is, how painful it is,
- 1:07:25Speaker 8: how much it's changed her forever. And if you have
- 1:07:28Speaker 8: a heart and don't just see these women as caricatures,
- 1:07:31Speaker 8: I would find it hard to believe that none of
- 1:07:32Speaker 8: you don't see how big of a deal this is.
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm strong enough to speak on this part.
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: I personally.
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: I hear you guys say you feet of the girls sorry,
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: the other women were nicer than y'all thought.
- 1:07:50Speaker 3: I disagree.
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: I thought what we saw in the package, I didn't
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: was how they really felt. To hear gizl KK and
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: Ashley and they're talking about it and you know, to
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: hear Gazelle say I thought she was smarter than this,
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: it's a dumb primise, you know, like, and then for
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: Angel to make that comment and look, shade of shade.
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: I just think when it comes to this, and this
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: is my opinion, y'all could drag me forward.
- 1:08:23Speaker 6: I don't care.
- 1:08:24Speaker 3: At the end of the day, if Wendy did it
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: and Eddie did it, then.
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: They have to obviously deal with the ramifications of their choice.
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: With that being said, they didn't kill anybody, They didn't
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: put anybody in position to die. Karen Hey, they did
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: not do anything that was heinous that involved someone's livelihood. Yes,
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: the worst thing that happened that people are saying is
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: the premiums of insurance goes up.
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: Got it understood. There's a bad comedy relivement.
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: I if I was if I was a housewife on
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: that show, I would have been like, I don't even
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: want to like make fun of this because if this
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: is what she did, let her speak on it. But
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: I didn't like the smugness in the scenes and the
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: moment they had the opportunity to face her head on.
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I'm praying about the children to
- 1:09:31Speaker 3: me was a cop out.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: That was that was a defenth mechanism to be like,
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: I don't want go start im one be nine. And
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: for me, the only one that low key stood on
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: business was Angel. She's like, look, I said what I
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: said pretty much. So that was hard to watch for
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: me because at the end of the day, if they
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: did this, nobody physically got her.
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: And that's and and and that's how I feel about.
- 1:10:04Speaker 8: Carls with the six seven though the not to bring
- 1:10:06Speaker 8: I'm not talking about the cast Claudia. The one thing
- 1:10:08Speaker 8: I liked about No, there was a six seven woman
- 1:10:11Speaker 8: and the thing it should be a drinking game six
- 1:10:13Speaker 8: seven No. But there was a moment where Wendy said
- 1:10:17Speaker 8: for the aliases, it was for packages. And I have
- 1:10:20Speaker 8: a friend who was on Love and Hip Hop who
- 1:10:22Speaker 8: whenever she orders Uber Eats, she has an alias that
- 1:10:25Speaker 8: Juanita that she used to use until they flagged it.
- 1:10:27Speaker 8: So she has aliases to order food, but she doesn't
- 1:10:30Speaker 8: have aliensis for her taxes. And I thought that was
- 1:10:32Speaker 8: interesting that Wendy was so it was so easy for
- 1:10:35Speaker 8: her to give it a very plausible, innocent response to
- 1:10:39Speaker 8: something that we thought like had her dead to rights.
- 1:10:41Speaker 8: And so it made me wonder what else is being
- 1:10:44Speaker 8: twisted that she could easily explore, you know what I mean?
- 1:10:47Speaker 8: So now I actually believe let's I think, actually believe
- 1:10:50Speaker 8: her a little bit more that it could be a
- 1:10:52Speaker 8: prosecutor trying to make a case, to make a name
- 1:10:55Speaker 8: for themselves, twisting things, even them saying that she was broke.
- 1:10:58Speaker 8: She was like, we're broken subject. I don't think I'm broke,
- 1:11:01Speaker 8: but the prosecutor could say that I have a million
- 1:11:03Speaker 8: dollar home but only five hundred k in the bank,
- 1:11:05Speaker 8: so I'm broke, right, And so it makes me think
- 1:11:08Speaker 8: how much of this is consequential or circumstantial evidence that
- 1:11:13Speaker 8: people are running with to build a narrative that if
- 1:11:16Speaker 8: she actually had her day in court, she might not
- 1:11:18Speaker 8: look as guilty as we think.
- 1:11:20Speaker 7: I agree one hundred percent. And that was my takeaway
- 1:11:22Speaker 7: after the reunion too. Overall, I felt the entire union,
- 1:11:26Speaker 7: the entire reunion was a little tepid, you know what
- 1:11:29Speaker 7: I'm saying.
- 1:11:30Speaker 6: The whole thing kind of.
- 1:11:32Speaker 7: Fell a little flat for me all the way around.
- 1:11:35Speaker 7: I know a lot of people were looking for angels redemption.
- 1:11:37Speaker 7: Arc I did not see that exhibited from her into
- 1:11:40Speaker 7: the Couch. I think that she responded to the questions
- 1:11:43Speaker 7: that she was asked, But as far as a showing
- 1:11:46Speaker 7: that represented a renewed angel or a different angel than.
- 1:11:50Speaker 6: We got during the season, I didn't see that on
- 1:11:52Speaker 6: the reunion stage.
- 1:11:54Speaker 7: Overall, I think that all of the ladies could have
- 1:11:58Speaker 7: contributed a little bit more, And it felt like because
- 1:12:00Speaker 7: of Karen being not on the on the show this season,
- 1:12:04Speaker 7: there were two brand new cast members, the season was
- 1:12:07Speaker 7: just a little disjointed in a way that I think
- 1:12:09Speaker 7: none of the ladies felt completely invested or completely committed
- 1:12:15Speaker 7: to developing a rich, robust through line for the season.
- 1:12:21Speaker 6: I just didn't see that happen. I saw a casual approach.
- 1:12:23Speaker 7: I saw jokes and lighthearted nature, two things that could
- 1:12:27Speaker 7: have been explored deeper. And so I think that they
- 1:12:31Speaker 7: just kind of got through the season where Karen was
- 1:12:33Speaker 7: in jail. And I think that once Karen is reinstated
- 1:12:37Speaker 7: as a full time cast member now that we can
- 1:12:39Speaker 7: continue with the residual feelings that they have from season
- 1:12:44Speaker 7: ten as we go into season ten, right as we
- 1:12:47Speaker 7: go into season eleven, I think that the returning cast
- 1:12:50Speaker 7: members will have something to work with to give us
- 1:12:53Speaker 7: a much more substantive season eleven than we got this year.
- 1:12:57Speaker 6: At least that's my hope.
- 1:12:59Speaker 5: So maybe this was like a transitional year because I struggled.
- 1:13:03Speaker 5: I decided to watch that thing like three times, the
- 1:13:06Speaker 5: Party Reunion.
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: Yes, like the other two fish Claudia.
- 1:13:10Speaker 5: Okay, I'm glad my commentary is so important to you.
- 1:13:15Speaker 3: No, I'm not shut Claudia, I really have to use that.
- 1:13:23Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I was like, oh my god, I'm like,
- 1:13:24Speaker 4: I have to watch this before tonight's show. But I
- 1:13:26Speaker 4: had to struggle and stop it started and I had
- 1:13:28Speaker 4: to rewind it, like, okay, am I missing something here?
- 1:13:31Speaker 4: It was it was boring, and I felt like, I
- 1:13:33Speaker 4: think that Karen came in hot with Wendy because she's
- 1:13:36Speaker 4: you know, you make like you make it up.
- 1:13:37Speaker 5: For lost time, like you ain't been there, like let
- 1:13:38Speaker 5: me coming high.
- 1:13:39Speaker 3: Like that's the wrong person to do that with. That's
- 1:13:42Speaker 3: nasty work.
- 1:13:43Speaker 5: I agree.
- 1:13:44Speaker 4: And then you know, the girls were kind of like
- 1:13:46Speaker 4: taking like for a show, like I think in the
- 1:13:48Speaker 4: beginning of us reviewing this shows, I was saying, Dan,
- 1:13:50Speaker 4: the Potoma girls, they work hard for they check every
- 1:13:53Speaker 4: single scene. It's like yeah, yeah, yeah, verbally right for
- 1:13:57Speaker 4: the show to be there during the season.
- 1:14:00Speaker 5: The reunion was like here, I was like, yawn.
- 1:14:03Speaker 3: Who is Stacy.
- 1:14:04Speaker 8: I think Stacey being the unexpected hero completely knocked them
- 1:14:09Speaker 8: off of balance. They thought that they had it figured out,
- 1:14:11Speaker 8: and seeing Stacy be loved so much threw everybody off.
- 1:14:14Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:14:15Speaker 7: I agree, one hundred and fifty thousand percent. I think
- 1:14:19Speaker 7: that Stacy was the threat that they did not see coming.
- 1:14:22Speaker 7: And she don't even have to be threat me a
- 1:14:24Speaker 7: threat me personally. If we got a star on this cast,
- 1:14:29Speaker 7: that's bringing all the mega waite attention to the show
- 1:14:31Speaker 7: to the point where she is featured in a Vanity
- 1:14:34Speaker 7: Fair list. That's good for us. So I don't understand
- 1:14:38Speaker 7: the competitive dynamic, right, but I know some people do.
- 1:14:41Speaker 7: It's just not really my thing. I think that it
- 1:14:44Speaker 7: aided the show, and so instead of being intimidated by
- 1:14:47Speaker 7: Stacy's catapulted rise to start them lean into that shit,
- 1:14:53Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying, And like, let the show
- 1:14:55Speaker 7: about Carlos.
- 1:14:56Speaker 8: Loving Stacy is why the reunion was tepid, because they're like,
- 1:14:58Speaker 8: but we had a whole plan.
- 1:15:00Speaker 3: I don't ruin it because you're clapping for her. Yes, Carlos,
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: that the reunion was stepping you know.
- 1:15:06Speaker 4: Again, we had were always looking forward to Oh Angel,
- 1:15:09Speaker 4: were gonna bring it up the reunion since she got
- 1:15:11Speaker 4: five thousand episodes at the end of the season about Colorado,
- 1:15:15Speaker 4: I thought for sure, like after she had done seen
- 1:15:18Speaker 4: a few I thought for sure she would like that
- 1:15:20Speaker 4: would be her time to finally wake it up. She
- 1:15:23Speaker 4: gave nothing, and then when she did try to jump
- 1:15:25Speaker 4: into King's conversation, she was Kate.
- 1:15:28Speaker 5: Was like, I could speak for myself anyways, and she
- 1:15:30Speaker 5: got sunned and it was like.
- 1:15:31Speaker 3: She could have She got chin chuck twice during the reunion.
- 1:15:34Speaker 3: We rest our case. It wasn't a misunderstandab watched you
- 1:15:37Speaker 3: get chin check on TV? Like nobody's lying on you,
- 1:15:40Speaker 3: that's really you.
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: What did I do?
- 1:15:42Speaker 3: Want to ask all this though, I'll stummer, Claudia. What
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: did y'all think though of Karen's return to the reunion?
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: There were a lot of chatter online. I would love
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: to get your thoughts on it. Do you think it
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: was anti climatic? Did she come into strong were your
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: what were your.
- 1:15:59Speaker 3: Feelings of karen return, Claudia.
- 1:16:01Speaker 4: I think because she missed the season and she came
- 1:16:03Speaker 4: at the very end I think she was kind of
- 1:16:05Speaker 4: making up for lost time and with just you know,
- 1:16:07Speaker 4: like it's like a relay team and you got the
- 1:16:10Speaker 4: sick and your team is behind, so you like you
- 1:16:12Speaker 4: try to go all out when you finally get that stick.
- 1:16:14Speaker 4: And I feel like she just went a little came
- 1:16:16Speaker 4: in a little hot for the reunion, like with Wendy,
- 1:16:19Speaker 4: where yet y'all haven't been around each other for a while,
- 1:16:21Speaker 4: so it's like, why was it so contentious between the two.
- 1:16:23Speaker 4: And I just felt like the timing it just kind
- 1:16:25Speaker 4: of rub people the wrong way because we're all being
- 1:16:26Speaker 4: empathetic and sympathetic to Wendy and here you come where
- 1:16:29Speaker 4: we're just were sympathetic to you on that last conversation
- 1:16:33Speaker 4: with Andy, and here you come and kind of being
- 1:16:35Speaker 4: mean to Wendy, like and y'all have something in common,
- 1:16:39Speaker 4: maybe you know what I mean. Like I felt it
- 1:16:41Speaker 4: was a little bit, but I do it did make
- 1:16:42Speaker 4: me realize Karen is needed for the show. But I
- 1:16:45Speaker 4: just felt like she handled the reunion wrong, like coming
- 1:16:47Speaker 4: in so hot at Wendy.
- 1:16:48Speaker 5: It wasn't the right time.
- 1:16:49Speaker 6: I think, Dustin, Yeah, I think that.
- 1:16:53Speaker 7: I mean again, you got to go back to the
- 1:16:55Speaker 7: I don't never like starting the story in the middle right.
- 1:16:58Speaker 7: When Wendy came on to the Real Househi I of
- 1:17:00Speaker 7: Potomac in season five, her and Karen did not get along,
- 1:17:03Speaker 7: and they had previously interacted with each other on the
- 1:17:06Speaker 7: social scene in DC, and that was the source of
- 1:17:08Speaker 7: their original rift because Karen was acting like she ain't
- 1:17:13Speaker 7: no Wendy and had been talking shit about Wendy joining
- 1:17:15Speaker 7: the show to some of the other ladies, and that
- 1:17:18Speaker 7: created their beef.
- 1:17:19Speaker 6: They never really got cool cool like that.
- 1:17:22Speaker 7: They just were both on the same side of the
- 1:17:24Speaker 7: Giselle story as the seasons progressed, so they never was
- 1:17:27Speaker 7: homies like that in the first damn place. So I
- 1:17:30Speaker 7: personally wasn't surprised by the tension in their relationship. In
- 1:17:34Speaker 7: addition to the fact that we left off of last
- 1:17:36Speaker 7: year's reunion with a blatant omission from Karen's thank you
- 1:17:42Speaker 7: video as she entered treatment and subsequently her prison sentence
- 1:17:48Speaker 7: for her DUI shit, she left Wendy out of that,
- 1:17:51Speaker 7: so we were already anticipating them having a conversation about
- 1:17:55Speaker 7: that and there being some sort of exchange. I wasn't
- 1:17:58Speaker 7: surprised as far as her return on the reunion feeling
- 1:18:02Speaker 7: anti climactic.
- 1:18:04Speaker 6: We can blame Bravocan for that.
- 1:18:06Speaker 7: When Karen was brought back into the forefront post release
- 1:18:09Speaker 7: at Bravo Khan, there's the moment, right, so all of
- 1:18:13Speaker 7: the fans of the show who are motivated to talk
- 1:18:15Speaker 7: about it and tweet about it, the people that give
- 1:18:17Speaker 7: a dam we were plugged into the fact that Karen
- 1:18:20Speaker 7: actually appeared at Bravo Khan, and so that kind of
- 1:18:23Speaker 7: took the wind out of the sales of her return
- 1:18:25Speaker 7: to the show for us that knew that had already
- 1:18:28Speaker 7: seen her since she been out.
- 1:18:29Speaker 6: Basically, I think that if they wanted to.
- 1:18:31Speaker 7: Make the reunion the moment, then they should have either
- 1:18:35Speaker 7: not televised. They should have made no pictures or anything
- 1:18:38Speaker 7: available for Karen being at Bravo Khan and save that
- 1:18:41Speaker 7: fanfare and the moment. The impact of the moment should
- 1:18:45Speaker 7: the reunion stage and then we would have had it.
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: Yeah, Blue, with your thoughts on well, you pretty much
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: intimated Can's return you felt disappointed by overall?
- 1:18:55Speaker 6: What do you think?
- 1:18:56Speaker 3: There's one?
- 1:18:57Speaker 8: I agree with everything that was set except for one thing.
- 1:19:00Speaker 8: Karen and Wendy had beef before because Karen was dismissive
- 1:19:06Speaker 8: to Wendy and Wendy was like, you know, I'm not
- 1:19:08Speaker 8: going okay, She's like mss EFI. However, though intimacy is
- 1:19:13Speaker 8: forced through adversity, and the season before Karen had the
- 1:19:17Speaker 8: DUI finally blow up in her face, her and Wendy
- 1:19:21Speaker 8: had become cool because Wendy was the one who was
- 1:19:24Speaker 8: showing her the most grace during her heavy season, and
- 1:19:27Speaker 8: it felt like they had called a truce. I don't
- 1:19:29Speaker 8: know if you ever had beef with somebody and you
- 1:19:31Speaker 8: call the truth. I think remember when Claudia talked about
- 1:19:33Speaker 8: her and Tamar, you're actually more intentional. It isn't that true, Claudia,
- 1:19:37Speaker 8: When you have beef with somebody and you'll call the truth?
- 1:19:39Speaker 8: Are you not more intentional about being kind and being
- 1:19:43Speaker 8: thoughtful and beautiful? Because you know that we started off funky,
- 1:19:46Speaker 8: So I'm gonna be extra gracious.
- 1:19:48Speaker 3: To you to show you that I sincerely want to
- 1:19:49Speaker 3: fix it.
- 1:19:50Speaker 8: Seeing Wendy extend so much grace to Karen the entire season,
- 1:19:56Speaker 8: and then at the finale for Wendy to find out
- 1:19:59Speaker 8: the person that she's been mindful of that we've seen
- 1:20:01Speaker 8: on camera this is not subjective like we saw it
- 1:20:02Speaker 8: on camera, has been still secretly talking shit while she
- 1:20:05Speaker 8: thought they had a truce. Wendy sincerely was blind Siah
- 1:20:09Speaker 8: that I thought we were Gucci. That's why I've been
- 1:20:11Speaker 8: working so hard to support you during this funky season.
- 1:20:13Speaker 8: I'm hurt cam turd, Wendy being hurt into Wendy betraying
- 1:20:17Speaker 8: her darvo you know, Deny attack, reverse victim and offender.
- 1:20:22Speaker 8: And now she's like, well, bitch, I don't owe you anything, right.
- 1:20:25Speaker 8: I think it's nasty work. When you know that someone
- 1:20:28Speaker 8: thinks that you have a truce, you're still talking shit.
- 1:20:31Speaker 8: You get caught talking shit, and then you come back
- 1:20:33Speaker 8: as if you're the victim, and you come back and
- 1:20:35Speaker 8: if you're the victim hot when they're down and they're
- 1:20:38Speaker 8: in the exact same position where they showed you grace.
- 1:20:40Speaker 8: There's something nasty about that that, whether it surprises me
- 1:20:43Speaker 8: or not, leaves a very bad taste in my mouth
- 1:20:46Speaker 8: because the hypocrisy in that, and then to say something
- 1:20:49Speaker 8: nasty and then couch it with I'm trying to be
- 1:20:52Speaker 8: like a mom to you.
- 1:20:52Speaker 6: No, we don't need mothers like that, right, You ain't
- 1:20:55Speaker 6: my damn mama.
- 1:20:56Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a nasty mother. I don't like it.
- 1:20:59Speaker 7: Second, also thought that Wendy was reaching. We know Karen
- 1:21:02Speaker 7: was reaching. Karen's reached for the reasons that she takes
- 1:21:07Speaker 7: umbrage with different people in the cast for years. She
- 1:21:09Speaker 7: said Giselle was death on her husband. She never did.
- 1:21:13Speaker 7: The statement did not even equate to that. This was
- 1:21:15Speaker 7: again the same thing. But I think Wendy kind of reached,
- 1:21:18Speaker 7: like you called my mom a witch.
- 1:21:19Speaker 6: No, she didn't.
- 1:21:20Speaker 7: She referenced like a situation and a rumor that was
- 1:21:23Speaker 7: going on. So they both was reaching. To me again,
- 1:21:27Speaker 7: it all goes back to the fact that Karen never
- 1:21:29Speaker 7: really fucked with Wendy like that anyway.
- 1:21:31Speaker 6: And if you don't believe me, as Vivian.
- 1:21:35Speaker 7: Okay, you know that friend Vivian who was the source
- 1:21:37Speaker 7: of all of that ship that all sat on that
- 1:21:39Speaker 7: board to get.
- 1:21:40Speaker 6: We remember the season five.
- 1:21:46Speaker 3: So Rebuild that after reunion.
- 1:21:51Speaker 7: Wendy got into it with Giselle and them. It lasted
- 1:21:53Speaker 7: multiple seasons. Karen and Gazelle are frenemies. Her and Wendy
- 1:21:58Speaker 7: found camaraderie in there. Disdain towards Gazelle.
- 1:22:03Speaker 8: Against Wendy saying, Justelle had my back more than anybody.
- 1:22:06Speaker 8: Thank you for that letter you left the doctor's menu
- 1:22:08Speaker 8: and my mailbox.
- 1:22:09Speaker 7: Girl, hush exactly blue that you caught that right, like
- 1:22:12Speaker 7: it's all the games. So that's why I wasn't surprised
- 1:22:15Speaker 7: by the back and forth between the two it.
- 1:22:18Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
- 1:22:20Speaker 2: One of the biggest moments that happened in this reunion
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: was obviously Monique Samuel's play the recording that was bleeped out.
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: I suspected, like we all did, that it could have
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: been one of her children. Ashley Darby revealed to I
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: believe it's Reality Rundown. You know my sources Reality Rundown
- 1:22:47Speaker 2: did a I believe it's a day brunch, day party
- 1:22:50Speaker 2: something like that. Yeah, Aby Ashley was the celebrity guest,
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: and Ashley Darby revealed that Monique allegedly, I'll just say
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: like that. She said that the recording on here was
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: Monique son talking and that was what we weren't able
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: to hear. Monique Samuels Well, before I get to that,
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: Stacey denied it.
- 1:23:19Speaker 3: Stacey looked shocked.
- 1:23:23Speaker 6: Why are you saying that.
- 1:23:25Speaker 5: She did?
- 1:23:26Speaker 10: Stacey looked like what she looks shocked? Like, what what
- 1:23:30Speaker 10: are we doing here? And I wasn't even sort of like,
- 1:23:35Speaker 10: what is what is happening?
- 1:23:37Speaker 3: What does this mean? Blah blah blah blah blah.
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: So KK said that Dustin's favorite housewife, Cookie Cook.
- 1:23:47Speaker 3: You can make it through a whole show without Cookie. Cookie.
- 1:23:50Speaker 3: It is like the MVP of this season. She's our master.
- 1:23:56Speaker 6: What she tells? Remember what she told?
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: So y'all said that Cookie called her and said, Chris
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: Samuels is mad he heard that his name was brought
- 1:24:13Speaker 2: up in the scene and that he's going to send
- 1:24:15Speaker 2: a seat and assist. Cookie said that Cookie has since
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: revealed that she did not call KK because we saw
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: our sources. But the biggest revelation that came out of
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: that is the fact that Monique Samuel's today released a
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: message that said a lot of time has passed since
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: the reunion was filmed, and after gaining more information since then,
- 1:24:47Speaker 2: I don't believe Stacey had anything to do with any
- 1:24:50Speaker 2: of that bullshit.
- 1:24:51Speaker 3: I'll probably go on live.
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: On Instagram at some point this week and give y'all
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: the entire story. I haven't watched the reunion at so yet,
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: so let me catch up and get back to you,
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: but I at least wanted to clear her name on
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: all of it.
- 1:25:08Speaker 3: Blue, what are your thoughts?
- 1:25:09Speaker 8: I'm happy you asked me because I've been chomping at
- 1:25:11Speaker 8: the bit about this. Oh I'm happy I went first
- 1:25:15Speaker 8: for this one child. Let me express something to you.
- 1:25:17Speaker 8: I have a lot of lawyer friends, right, and my
- 1:25:19Speaker 8: lawyer friends are always teaching me manipulation tactics about how
- 1:25:22Speaker 8: you railroad somebody who's innocent, And this had so many earmarkers.
- 1:25:26Speaker 3: I was like, is this the boy that cried wolf?
- 1:25:28Speaker 3: The one time Stacy tell them the truth?
- 1:25:30Speaker 8: They're about to have a smoking bomb on her because
- 1:25:34Speaker 8: the audio was a child saying who is Stacy?
- 1:25:36Speaker 3: Who is Stacy?
- 1:25:38Speaker 8: All it takes is Chris Samuels walking around the house
- 1:25:40Speaker 8: cussing about Stacy for them to say that it doesn't
- 1:25:43Speaker 8: improve shit, It doesn't prove anything. A child asking who
- 1:25:46Speaker 8: is Stacy? Why does she keep coming up? Does not
- 1:25:48Speaker 8: mean that Stacy sleeping with your ex husband. It was
- 1:25:51Speaker 8: so watery and circumstantial. But you know who revealed themselves,
- 1:25:56Speaker 8: Cause whenever people have flimsy evidence, you can always want
- 1:26:00Speaker 8: to see who was quick to believe it and who's
- 1:26:01Speaker 8: quick to jump on it because that's how they felt already,
- 1:26:03Speaker 8: and they were just looking for a reason.
- 1:26:05Speaker 3: Tia was so thirsty about this.
- 1:26:07Speaker 8: Tia was like, and that's why I was trying to
- 1:26:11Speaker 8: sell a house to Angel and I had water and
- 1:26:13Speaker 8: you didn't. Because Stacy's the devil. She's gonna eat all
- 1:26:16Speaker 8: our husbands. Because the baby said, who's Stacy? Girls, sit
- 1:26:19Speaker 8: the hell down, they showed they looked stupid. Ashley, Yes,
- 1:26:23Speaker 8: it was the baby, everybody, honest, the child said Stacy's name. Yes,
- 1:26:27Speaker 8: the baby said the word Stacy. Now what like, y'all
- 1:26:30Speaker 8: are so desperate and thirsty to take this lady down?
- 1:26:33Speaker 8: Your envy were so loud on something so flimsy. All
- 1:26:37Speaker 8: it revealed was Stacey's exactly the star that Carlo said
- 1:26:40Speaker 8: she did and ruined the arm again. It was all circumstantial, bs,
- 1:26:44Speaker 8: and y'all jumped on it because y'all were waiting for
- 1:26:46Speaker 8: a reason to not look stupid because the season got
- 1:26:48Speaker 8: away from you.
- 1:26:52Speaker 6: Uh, Dustin, I'm with Blue on this.
- 1:26:55Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying Like this, it was a
- 1:26:57Speaker 7: reach to me and vindication is what it's all about.
- 1:27:01Speaker 7: That that message that Monique released today saying that saying
- 1:27:05Speaker 7: that literally verbatim, Stacey didn't have nothing to do with
- 1:27:08Speaker 7: that bullshit. That's what Monique type the message literally verbatim said,
- 1:27:12Speaker 7: I now know that Stacey didn't have nothing to do
- 1:27:14Speaker 7: with that bullshit. So that's why you never really jump
- 1:27:17Speaker 7: on the bandwagon like that. Obviously they had some sort
- 1:27:20Speaker 7: of dealings whatever, But that's whether or not her and
- 1:27:24Speaker 7: Chris know each other and have engaged in whatever way.
- 1:27:29Speaker 7: Is a different conversation from her having conversations having conversations
- 1:27:34Speaker 7: with Chris that are negative about Monique and her participation
- 1:27:38Speaker 7: in the show.
- 1:27:39Speaker 6: Two different things. And either she did it or she didn't.
- 1:27:42Speaker 6: So I don't know. But like you said, Stacey was shot,
- 1:27:45Speaker 6: she wasn't moving, there was no pivoty of her neck.
- 1:27:53Speaker 6: It was very much all of that, you know what
- 1:27:54Speaker 6: I'm saying. So, yeah, Claudia, I think that.
- 1:28:00Speaker 4: I love First of all, I love Monique for this
- 1:28:03Speaker 4: reason like I love people that do this, because she
- 1:28:05Speaker 4: could have easily rolled that for next season then had
- 1:28:07Speaker 4: a reason to just have a little beef with Stacy.
- 1:28:09Speaker 3: She didn't.
- 1:28:09Speaker 5: She chose to be like, you know what, I care
- 1:28:11Speaker 5: about what's right and what's wrong. I love that.
- 1:28:14Speaker 4: I love that I just feel like Stacy don't help
- 1:28:16Speaker 4: her case when she relying so much. So yeah, so
- 1:28:21Speaker 4: that's what, like, it makes it easy to be like, Okay, Stacy,
- 1:28:25Speaker 4: Like I'm so confused about why she told her producers
- 1:28:28Speaker 4: she kind of went out with them. Then there was
- 1:28:29Speaker 4: a picture that she did and that she did whatever.
- 1:28:31Speaker 4: It doesn't help a show like this. You gotta know
- 1:28:34Speaker 4: they got to jump on that and make a mountain
- 1:28:37Speaker 4: a moo a mohill into a mountain because the.
- 1:28:44Speaker 3: Mountain again, you've been climbing all episodes.
- 1:28:46Speaker 4: Yes, so you know, I think you know you ain't
- 1:28:49Speaker 4: help you, You help them, You help them have like
- 1:28:53Speaker 4: villain demonize you. But I think I think the MVP
- 1:28:56Speaker 4: nut situation is Monique for clearing her name when she'd
- 1:28:59Speaker 4: have to.
- 1:29:00Speaker 3: To.
- 1:29:02Speaker 2: But yeah, so we we now wrapped up this season,
- 1:29:06Speaker 2: and I want to ask the three of you this
- 1:29:07Speaker 2: question and listen. I will also join into okay, predictions
- 1:29:14Speaker 2: and or wants, starting with Claudia. We know that the
- 1:29:23Speaker 2: reunion is the final moment for a housewife to make
- 1:29:28Speaker 2: it to the next season. Claudia, this was a cast
- 1:29:32Speaker 2: full of was it seven people? Seven housewives? I think, yeah, Claudia,
- 1:29:39Speaker 2: who's your prediction that will was the common banks that
- 1:29:45Speaker 2: would make it to the next cycle of Top Model?
- 1:29:49Speaker 4: Should I say make it or not make it? Because
- 1:29:50Speaker 4: it'd be less time to say not make it?
- 1:29:52Speaker 6: Right?
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, let's go Claudia Jordan, who do you
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: think will get the cut and not return to the
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: next seas the Housewives of.
- 1:30:02Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to say Angel because we were waiting
- 1:30:05Speaker 4: for this reunion to be the thing to bring her back,
- 1:30:07Speaker 4: and she had three, four or five episodes of her
- 1:30:10Speaker 4: being the lead, and then I thought the reunion was
- 1:30:13Speaker 4: gonna be like Herbie shut everybody down, bam bam bam,
- 1:30:16Speaker 4: coming with.
- 1:30:16Speaker 5: The nothing it was. It fell flat. I wanted. I
- 1:30:21Speaker 5: wanted to see fireworks. I wanted to see her wake
- 1:30:24Speaker 5: it up.
- 1:30:24Speaker 4: I wanted I wanted to see her say I heard
- 1:30:27Speaker 4: what all you bitches said about me all season long
- 1:30:29Speaker 4: after that, I'm seen the confessionals and the green screens,
- 1:30:32Speaker 4: or got back to me and let me shut you
- 1:30:34Speaker 4: all down.
- 1:30:35Speaker 5: She did nothing. And then when she tried to even jump.
- 1:30:37Speaker 4: On her best ees story, her friend, like y'all said,
- 1:30:40Speaker 4: Chin checked her. It just she just gave ineffective.
- 1:30:44Speaker 5: It gave like womp womp, and I wanted it to.
- 1:30:47Speaker 5: I know, Angel, you think we hate you. We don't
- 1:30:49Speaker 5: hate you, but we're waiting.
- 1:30:52Speaker 3: No on the thing's dust and does I'm teasing, I'm teasing.
- 1:30:57Speaker 5: She was, Yes, she was supposed to unload the clip
- 1:30:59Speaker 5: and nope.
- 1:31:00Speaker 4: The not only did the clip not get unloaded, she
- 1:31:03Speaker 4: didn't even show up to the shooting range and didn't
- 1:31:07Speaker 4: even get a license for the gun, and didn't even
- 1:31:09Speaker 4: purcha and didn't even bring a vest. There was nothing she.
- 1:31:13Speaker 8: Couldn't find that They put a pin on her phone
- 1:31:15Speaker 8: and she went to the wrong location.
- 1:31:16Speaker 5: Claudia, Yeah, yeah, or was a water gun? I was like, damn.
- 1:31:19Speaker 5: I was waiting, like when we're gonna get to when
- 1:31:23Speaker 5: we're gonna get to Angel's part. Did she have a package?
- 1:31:26Speaker 5: I can't remember she had she.
- 1:31:29Speaker 3: Had a package if those who don't know, cause somebody
- 1:31:31Speaker 3: act was a package. A package is with they're a montage.
- 1:31:36Speaker 2: Of the scenes that you filmed for the season and
- 1:31:38Speaker 2: they play it. It's sort of like your highlight reel.
- 1:31:42Speaker 4: Claudia and Giselle, you gotta come with her next season,
- 1:31:46Speaker 4: like your a legacy. You're in the legacy. See you
- 1:31:49Speaker 4: have position because of experience. But we want to see girl.
- 1:31:51Speaker 4: I want to see you Dayton, I want to see
- 1:31:53Speaker 4: the congressman. I want to see whoever else dating. She
- 1:31:56Speaker 4: said she had a full dating life, but we see
- 1:31:59Speaker 4: all that she's some saying. She said it in the reunion,
- 1:32:02Speaker 4: but we saw not one piece of it the whole season,
- 1:32:05Speaker 4: and it was like one hundred episodes. It felt like you,
- 1:32:08Speaker 4: you gotta come with it next season and be be big,
- 1:32:11Speaker 4: be big dog on there. And Karen, don't just come
- 1:32:13Speaker 4: back being mean. Karen, you have a lot that I
- 1:32:15Speaker 4: would love to know about your story, Like your story
- 1:32:17Speaker 4: is so interesting, like your redemption story and all.
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: That you know.
- 1:32:22Speaker 5: You know, it was good. You came back feisty, but
- 1:32:24Speaker 5: I want to see more so. But I'm not worried
- 1:32:26Speaker 5: about Karen not having a storyline.
- 1:32:28Speaker 3: She's gonna have it.
- 1:32:29Speaker 5: She's gonna have it. But yeah, no, I'm good.
- 1:32:34Speaker 3: I hope Cloudy is right.
- 1:32:36Speaker 8: You ever meet somebody who you think is a bitchy
- 1:32:38Speaker 8: or mean and then you talk to them you realize
- 1:32:40Speaker 8: it's just a little stupid, like if you were giving
- 1:32:41Speaker 8: them too much credit.
- 1:32:43Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
- 1:32:44Speaker 8: That's how I feel about Angel. We didn't misunderstand her.
- 1:32:46Speaker 8: That wasn't much there to begin with, and which is
- 1:32:49Speaker 8: actually unfortunate because I thought she was misunderstood and I realized,
- 1:32:53Speaker 8: oh no, you really are just flat the entire time.
- 1:32:55Speaker 8: You're just like, you're just flat the entire time. I
- 1:32:58Speaker 8: will say this, I think she's the only one who
- 1:33:02Speaker 8: I don't want to come back, but I fear might
- 1:33:04Speaker 8: come back because she because they want to see if
- 1:33:06Speaker 8: she can't have a redemption arc. I will say Andy,
- 1:33:09Speaker 8: Andy has never had a reunion. I feel like dustin
- 1:33:12Speaker 8: the history right now. He's never had a reunion where
- 1:33:14Speaker 8: he intentionally said I don't feel like talking about the finale,
- 1:33:18Speaker 8: and the finale was all about Angel. That felt loud
- 1:33:21Speaker 8: to me that he did not want to sit too
- 1:33:23Speaker 8: much on a finale of his own franchise because he's
- 1:33:26Speaker 8: bored of it.
- 1:33:27Speaker 3: I think he's tired of Angel. So if she comes back,
- 1:33:30Speaker 3: it will not be because of Andy Cohen.
- 1:33:32Speaker 8: Four episodes of like what, I don't know what interesting?
- 1:33:37Speaker 8: He can't had his expressions. He's exhausted with her.
- 1:33:40Speaker 3: But this is what I this is why I find fascinating.
- 1:33:45Speaker 2: Yet we've all had our opinions about Angel, and I'm
- 1:33:48Speaker 2: not changing one that I've had, right, she had good moments,
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: bad moments, whatever.
- 1:33:52Speaker 5: What I do find so.
- 1:33:54Speaker 3: Fascinating is.
- 1:33:57Speaker 2: It's some interesting way she was like the sort of
- 1:34:02Speaker 2: like engine this season, and I find that to be
- 1:34:05Speaker 2: fascinating that if you remove Angel from the equation, would
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: we have eighteen episodes without the reunion. But that's why
- 1:34:14Speaker 2: I find fascinating about it. If I'm making sense, nothing, an.
- 1:34:19Speaker 8: STD that you can't get rid of you have to
- 1:34:22Speaker 8: keep going back to the doctor to get antibiotics doesn't
- 1:34:25Speaker 8: mean you enjoyed it.
- 1:34:26Speaker 3: Or want to do that again.
- 1:34:28Speaker 6: No, you're not making no sense. No, you ain't making
- 1:34:31Speaker 6: no damn sense. Carlos season. There's another way. There's another way.
- 1:34:41Speaker 6: There's another way.
- 1:34:43Speaker 7: People have committed themselves to this idea that chaos and
- 1:34:48Speaker 7: behavior that is obtuse of what is normal and expected
- 1:34:51Speaker 7: is the only way to get attention on reality shows.
- 1:34:54Speaker 6: And it's simply not true.
- 1:34:56Speaker 7: If Harness properly, if produced correctly, If yes, she was
- 1:35:00Speaker 7: a key part of this season, she was so boring,
- 1:35:04Speaker 7: so like, yes she is a housewife, all things like.
- 1:35:08Speaker 6: Concurrently all true at the same time.
- 1:35:10Speaker 7: You know, what I'm saying, but her lackluster performance was
- 1:35:16Speaker 7: not the key to us being interested in watching the show.
- 1:35:21Speaker 7: It just did not equate to that, and I don't
- 1:35:24Speaker 7: want to see her fail. I've long said there was
- 1:35:27Speaker 7: opportunities for her to highlight her business, and as soon
- 1:35:31Speaker 7: as we keep talking about the word package, there's a
- 1:35:33Speaker 7: way to package her business in a way that is
- 1:35:35Speaker 7: appealing to viewers that is not depending upon her personality
- 1:35:39Speaker 7: shining through for its success, as is the case when
- 1:35:42Speaker 7: you're a housewife.
- 1:35:43Speaker 8: You know.
- 1:35:44Speaker 7: So I just don't think that that was the right
- 1:35:46Speaker 7: fit for her. Hopefully there's another world where that exists
- 1:35:49Speaker 7: in the meantime, much like that film Angels in the Outfield. Now, Tia,
- 1:35:57Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. I was not impressed, was not.
- 1:36:00Speaker 7: Tia is very much a b character to me. She
- 1:36:02Speaker 7: responds to situations. She really didn't drive. There was no
- 1:36:06Speaker 7: driving force, there was no memorable moment, there was nothing.
- 1:36:10Speaker 7: And I personally lost interest in Tia when she attempted
- 1:36:14Speaker 7: to have that screaming match with Stacy at the reasonably Shady.
- 1:36:19Speaker 6: However many episodes party they had. That's where I lost interest.
- 1:36:23Speaker 7: Then she was messy going up to meet with Timo
- 1:36:26Speaker 7: and Stacey and Arabella and getting in the car running back,
- 1:36:30Speaker 7: looking up behind his elle very it felt it just
- 1:36:33Speaker 7: wasn't authentic to me. So personally, I think there's space
- 1:36:36Speaker 7: there in the cast for Karen's return and maybe a
- 1:36:40Speaker 7: new housewife. Maybe we actually bring Cheris back, since she's
- 1:36:44Speaker 7: deeply entrenched in the storylines. You know, never my favorite housewife.
- 1:36:48Speaker 7: But this conversation isn't about my favorites. It's about what
- 1:36:51Speaker 7: makes sense for the show. So that's what I think.
- 1:36:54Speaker 7: I think that Angel don't really, based on what I've
- 1:36:57Speaker 7: seen and her responses online, I don't really I feel
- 1:37:00Speaker 7: one hundred percent confident that she has a desire to
- 1:37:03Speaker 7: be on the show anymore, right, So if it's her
- 1:37:06Speaker 7: wish to exit, then I wish her will, and there
- 1:37:09Speaker 7: creates room for somebody else.
- 1:37:15Speaker 6: I was ahead.
- 1:37:16Speaker 7: No, I'm just saying everybody else can stay. I feel
- 1:37:18Speaker 7: like Angeline, seea Angeline. Fia did their part by feeling
- 1:37:24Speaker 7: holding space this season in their own ways, but they
- 1:37:27Speaker 7: were always temporary to me.
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: Okay, I'll say this and we're gonna move on with
- 1:37:36Speaker 2: the super chats.
- 1:37:37Speaker 3: Look, the three of y'all says something that.
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: Resonates to what I'm about to say, which is when
- 1:37:47Speaker 2: you saw the girls have their opinions about Wendy, when
- 1:37:51Speaker 2: you saw the girls try to you know, all gang
- 1:37:55Speaker 2: up on Stacy.
- 1:37:56Speaker 3: What what the three of you guys are saying is
- 1:37:59Speaker 3: y'all won't real friends?
- 1:38:00Speaker 8: You know?
- 1:38:02Speaker 2: I remember when you know, back in the day, when
- 1:38:06Speaker 2: you saw you know, Housewives and Clauda. You saw this
- 1:38:09Speaker 2: on Atlanta where those when the girls were friends, they
- 1:38:13Speaker 2: had each other's back even the friend was lying, they'd
- 1:38:16Speaker 2: be like, I'll go, fuck, that's my friend, Like that's
- 1:38:19Speaker 2: my friend. What we're seeing a potomac is there isn't
- 1:38:23Speaker 2: genuine friendships. Dustin called it out earlier to where it's
- 1:38:27Speaker 2: sort of like no one wants to get to know
- 1:38:31Speaker 2: each other on a deep level. The reason why I
- 1:38:34Speaker 2: had an eventual reaction to the commentary about Wendy is
- 1:38:38Speaker 2: because y'all sent.
- 1:38:40Speaker 3: I listened.
- 1:38:40Speaker 2: I've never hung out with Wendy on a one on
- 1:38:42Speaker 2: one level in terms of like dinner, but the relationship
- 1:38:47Speaker 2: I have with her as Mini skul as it may seem.
- 1:38:51Speaker 9: I.
- 1:38:53Speaker 3: Can't bring it to myself to to to to say
- 1:38:57Speaker 3: something negative about her.
- 1:38:59Speaker 2: You girl, spent almost seven years with her, and off
- 1:39:04Speaker 2: the bat, it's Shaye for Shay. Claudia called it where
- 1:39:07Speaker 2: all these girls clocking for work, And I think what's
- 1:39:10Speaker 2: missing is real friendships, like I really care about you,
- 1:39:16Speaker 2: I really want to see you do well.
- 1:39:18Speaker 3: Yes, I could disagree with what you did, but I
- 1:39:21Speaker 3: really care about you. I do think the show needs
- 1:39:24Speaker 3: that coming coming into the next.
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: Season, which is why I agree with Dustin. I'm not
- 1:39:30Speaker 2: saying bring Cherise back as a full time housewife. I'm
- 1:39:32Speaker 2: not saying that, and I only think she wants that.
- 1:39:36Speaker 3: The best part.
- 1:39:36Speaker 2: About this season is what happened with Charisse and Ashley
- 1:39:41Speaker 2: after the show wrapped, the conversation of this woman kissing
- 1:39:47Speaker 2: her friend's son.
- 1:39:49Speaker 3: We never talked about that reality television. So the fact
- 1:39:52Speaker 3: that we're not going we're not getting it. The fact
- 1:39:54Speaker 3: that Sharis was at the reunion was a huge mistake.
- 1:39:58Speaker 6: Huge you.
- 1:40:00Speaker 2: She can be on Sherry, Reality with the King and
- 1:40:03Speaker 2: all these other programs, but the one show to where
- 1:40:05Speaker 2: it may actually interesting, we don't get. Shari's pob miss opportunity.
- 1:40:12Speaker 2: The other missopportunity we don't get is if you're gonna
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: bring gonna meek back, bring back Canvas. I need to
- 1:40:19Speaker 2: get I want to see. Yes, I don't want to
- 1:40:24Speaker 2: see people meet each other because I'm gonna tell you what.
- 1:40:27Speaker 3: It is and this is me. This is me low
- 1:40:29Speaker 3: key just sending some of the girls.
- 1:40:33Speaker 2: I think some of the girls feel like, if you
- 1:40:36Speaker 2: could last more than two seasons, maybe all invest in
- 1:40:38Speaker 2: a friendship.
- 1:40:40Speaker 6: I know how it works.
- 1:40:42Speaker 3: The reason why you.
- 1:40:43Speaker 2: See these girls, Hayes, is because they feel like, if
- 1:40:46Speaker 2: you can survive more than one season or two, maybe
- 1:40:49Speaker 2: I could be your friends.
- 1:40:50Speaker 3: I'm not gonna waste time.
- 1:40:51Speaker 2: They they saw Neka last one season unfortunately.
- 1:40:57Speaker 3: And really they really they really like her and they
- 1:41:02Speaker 3: hang out with her. But we got to get back
- 1:41:05Speaker 3: to some real stories.
- 1:41:06Speaker 2: Bring back series, bring back Candice, bring back Robin. I
- 1:41:11Speaker 2: want to I want to get back to these girls.
- 1:41:15Speaker 3: I getting it.
- 1:41:16Speaker 6: I was just about cars.
- 1:41:19Speaker 7: I'm sorry, how did Robert I want to interrupt, But
- 1:41:22Speaker 7: god damn lot you know Carlos are to come.
- 1:41:27Speaker 5: I actually I agree with you on that.
- 1:41:30Speaker 4: Yes, I listened to the real relationship playing people that
- 1:41:35Speaker 4: don't have any connection like that's the.
- 1:41:37Speaker 5: Friends I know.
- 1:41:38Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you.
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you I I listened to rhythmby Shady
- 1:41:42Speaker 2: on the Black Offect Network and.
- 1:41:46Speaker 3: Robin Robin got some.
- 1:41:47Speaker 2: Strong opinions about Ashley and some of these girls, and
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: I feel like Ashley and I feel like there's something
- 1:41:57Speaker 2: with Ashley.
- 1:41:58Speaker 3: Robin my opinion it is actually replaced her as the
- 1:42:03Speaker 3: Green Eyed bandage. And don't you want to see a comedy?
- 1:42:06Speaker 2: When Nini Lee came back season eight and they went
- 1:42:09Speaker 2: to Jamaica and Charae and Faedr Porsche told Meini, where
- 1:42:15Speaker 2: you know Cynthia and Kenya are BFFs, And Nini said, BFFs,
- 1:42:20Speaker 2: they're b f f N best friend for now, I'm back,
- 1:42:24Speaker 2: and and and it raised the stakes of the friendship
- 1:42:29Speaker 2: because Kenya felt, you're dissing because Nini's back. That's and
- 1:42:34Speaker 2: and Nini Kenya has think the friendship ain't the same today.
- 1:42:38Speaker 2: So my point is, I don't want to see a
- 1:42:41Speaker 2: groga Hayes. I don't want to see you know, the
- 1:42:46Speaker 2: girls talking about I want to see real steaks and friendships.
- 1:42:51Speaker 6: Yes, I'm with it.
- 1:42:53Speaker 7: Let's have the all star season of Potomac. That's what
- 1:42:56Speaker 7: I think Season eleven needs to be. We don't need
- 1:42:58Speaker 7: no new blood. We don't to get to know nobody.
- 1:43:01Speaker 7: We need to dive back into the texture of the
- 1:43:04Speaker 7: fabric of Potomac. I agree, let's bring back the old guard.
- 1:43:09Speaker 7: Let's reintroduce some old names and faces, like Robin, like Charise,
- 1:43:15Speaker 7: like hopefully to God, Candice, even though congratulations to her
- 1:43:19Speaker 7: for signing with Cia right and dribbling that Traders basketball
- 1:43:24Speaker 7: through her legs and break through the hoop nothing but
- 1:43:27Speaker 7: net like she was supposed to. That's how you're handling
- 1:43:30Speaker 7: opportunity like that. Kudos to her. I love seeing that shit.
- 1:43:34Speaker 7: But so hopefully she has the time, because I feel
- 1:43:36Speaker 7: like she's gonna be bombarded with opportunity and God bless
- 1:43:40Speaker 7: her for that. If she has the time, I hope
- 1:43:43Speaker 7: she comes back to the show. I would love an
- 1:43:45Speaker 7: all Star season next season. Bring back Charise, Candace, and Robin.
- 1:43:50Speaker 5: I like her.
- 1:43:52Speaker 8: The question we forgot something my brain is tingling right now. Well,
- 1:43:56Speaker 8: how do we feel about the fact that actually said
- 1:43:57Speaker 8: that Charise was broke? So she that's why she talked
- 1:43:59Speaker 8: about hunting, I mean kissing her son and.
- 1:44:03Speaker 3: Exactly the moment.
- 1:44:04Speaker 8: If Charisa had actually grabbed that moment maybe on camera
- 1:44:07Speaker 8: more maybe Bravo would have brought her on, but it
- 1:44:09Speaker 8: fell out.
- 1:44:10Speaker 3: She said that doing that live brush yesterday.
- 1:44:14Speaker 8: Yeah, but I'm saying, if Charisa had a big reaction
- 1:44:16Speaker 8: on camera, I think maybe the scene would have garnered
- 1:44:19Speaker 8: the attention that deserved in the Bravo universe, because it
- 1:44:22Speaker 8: feels like all the fun stuff happened off.
- 1:44:25Speaker 3: Camera and they kept exact.
- 1:44:27Speaker 8: Yeah, they tend to not really give a damn if
- 1:44:30Speaker 8: they can't, you know, capitalize and have it on camera.
- 1:44:32Speaker 8: I do think that the idea that Ashley was like,
- 1:44:34Speaker 8: I'm trying to throw you a bone, bitch, or you
- 1:44:36Speaker 8: could come back on the show and Seris let it
- 1:44:38Speaker 8: fall to her feet, but throwing the with Carlos and Sherry.
- 1:44:41Speaker 3: I'm saying, so it worked out.
- 1:44:43Speaker 8: A part of me is intrigued by that that somebody
- 1:44:46Speaker 8: who's a stunt queen was trying to give out stunts
- 1:44:48Speaker 8: like trick or treat Candy.
- 1:44:49Speaker 3: I would love somebody to have bring that back up
- 1:44:51Speaker 3: next season, Scharise.
- 1:44:52Speaker 6: I can't.
- 1:44:53Speaker 3: If I'm saying this, I would love you back.
- 1:44:55Speaker 4: I think it has has to happen, Like I feel
- 1:44:57Speaker 4: like that a little a bit of a redemption for Ashley.
- 1:45:01Speaker 4: How everyone's coming after her like she was a child molester.
- 1:45:04Speaker 6: But really, yeah, actually, you know, I love it.
- 1:45:14Speaker 5: I don't love her. I'm just fair.
- 1:45:16Speaker 4: And I've also been in a position where a lot
- 1:45:18Speaker 4: of people hated me for things that were out of
- 1:45:19Speaker 4: my control or a misrepresentation, So I guess I relate
- 1:45:24Speaker 4: in that regard to what that would feel like, right, Like,
- 1:45:28Speaker 4: we really was looking at her like she was a
- 1:45:29Speaker 4: goddamn child molester because she kissed her her friend's son
- 1:45:33Speaker 4: that's ten years.
- 1:45:33Speaker 5: Younger than her.
- 1:45:34Speaker 4: But in reality, now hearing the Mama was like kind
- 1:45:36Speaker 4: of pushing it on some Chris Jenner shit. Okay, Like
- 1:45:41Speaker 4: that's to me is a huge difference. Like you can
- 1:45:45Speaker 4: hate her for whatever other reasons or not like her,
- 1:45:47Speaker 4: but like, in that situation, I think that is a
- 1:45:50Speaker 4: big deal that needs to be on camera.
- 1:45:52Speaker 5: They are definitely missing out that.
- 1:45:56Speaker 3: It's crazy to.
- 1:45:57Speaker 2: Me that cherise Is wasn't at the reunion, which I'll
- 1:46:01Speaker 2: find if y'all don't bring Cheris back.
- 1:46:04Speaker 3: I don't know what ch'all want the show to be,
- 1:46:05Speaker 3: because can we at least get hurt Ashley.
- 1:46:08Speaker 2: Can you imagine her actually one on one and the
- 1:46:11Speaker 2: fact that actually said, Sharie fell on hard financial times
- 1:46:16Speaker 2: and I tried to throw her a bone, get a
- 1:46:19Speaker 2: bit and really have a real conversation.
- 1:46:24Speaker 3: Actually, I'm actually on actually side for ones. Yes, So
- 1:46:28Speaker 3: that's our five sense.
- 1:46:30Speaker 6: Make it makes sense, Make it makes sense, produce.
