• 1:51
  Speaker 3: fa I.

  Speaker 5: of like shade and read.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: It was something that I introduced to the cast in

  Speaker 3: terms of just us having conversations. And although Cynthia has
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: been a supermodel way before Atlanta Housewives and been around
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: the gay community, I think the difference was we were
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: shooting every single day her life and then you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: my interact with the ladies.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: They sort of picked up on, like the gay.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Culture so talk to the audience about that because they
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: don't know that about us.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, first of all, I as soon as you say,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Carlos read one of the biggest reads that you ever gave,

• 3:13
  Speaker 2: we went camping or whatever, and we were sitting by
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: we were sitting around the bonfire, honey, and for whatever reason,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: everybody was like quiet.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Nobody was really trying to bring it. Nobody was really
• 3:28

• 5:49
  Speaker 3: I listen. I'm perfectionist. And one thing about working with
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: the Atlanta women that I loved was the fact that
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: we had a very close relationship. We were able to
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: cuss each other out. So I'm gonna say a story
• 6:05

  Speaker 3: Ninie Chara khim Zosiac the rest of them, Yeah, I said,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Cynthia cussed me out.
• 6:36

• 6:37
  Speaker 3: I want the world to know the reals, not not
• 6:39

• 6:42
  Speaker 3: side of Cynthia.
• 6:43

• 7:10
  Speaker 3: accessories and business line.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: At the table. Yes, I forgot. What happened Cynthia bone cheek.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: I know I'm gonna say.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I think, I say, probably cheekbones, but actually the bone
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: structure is so severe that it surpasses her cheeks. Guy,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: so I call her bone cheek. So Cynthia bone cheek.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Bailey called me and she cussed me something out fears.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Why did I cutt you out?
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: You cussed me out because of a schedule. You cussed
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: me out because your time.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: Is valuable and every housewife.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Is a sign of producer and the producer Brent that
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: y'all know. She was like, I'm calling Carlos and she
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: and when I say, she laid my ass out?
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: And what you don't know, Cynthia.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: I was in the office with Joy who also works
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: who worked.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: On Atlanta hospitals at the time.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'll put you on mute because I said, this
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: bitch just read me, and I'm here for it. And
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I remember getting back on the phone saying I'm sorry,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: it will never happen again. And then she read me
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: because she wanted certain people do her interviews.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: Cynthia. Cynthia is not like.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: This weak woman that people think she is. Cynthia speaks
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: her mind. And that's what I love about you. That's
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: the reason why when I think about your time on
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: the real hospitals at Atlanta and our time together, you
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: are always a star.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: And I want people to know that.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: When you came on season three, the network, the production company,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: we were all behind you and we were all rooting
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: for you. You brought class, You brought elegance, you brought sophistication,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: You brought another world of an international black woman who
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: was able to have conversations about things other than what
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: was happening in Atlanta. So much so the world doesn't
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: know this. Yes, we know she brought Russell Simson the show.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: We know that Miss Thing brought Boris Kojo and Nicole
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Ari Parker to do a tennis match scene. Yes, and
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: it goes to show you that and I don't think
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: you get the credit you deserve, and I want to
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: talk about that more. Do you think that what you
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: brought to Atlanta Housewives changed the game?
• 9:37

  Speaker 2: You were there, you know ninety percent of the time
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: that I was on.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: The Real Housewives.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I do feel like when I came on to the show,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I brought something else that was other than Atlanta. I
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: brought my world with me that included you know, Miss
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Jay from America's Next Time Model, Russell Boris and Nicole
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: if you can remember, Carlos.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I actually had Tiano Taylor sing at my wedding and
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: we did.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: They didn't show, you know, you know, they're like really
• 10:11

  Speaker 2: but Kim key em not Kim Zozie, but Kim Thea
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: sang at my wedding and Tiana Taylor and there was
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: another group. And you know, I felt like for me,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I was coming from a modeling career in New York
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: City and I really looked at the show like a job.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: So that's why I was always very professional. I was
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: always really excited to throw events. I still think that
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: some of my events are legendary, honey, Seriously, I mean like,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: first of all, for my fiftieth birthday, Like the fact
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: that I could get my entire cast to come as
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: me for my birthday, fifty shades of Cynthia, Like who
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: does that?
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Like who could pull that off other than to the
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: bone cheek Mak.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Bailey, But who also can pull off the belly ball?

  Speaker 3: Donald Trump.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: Wig, and that's when the ship went down.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: What y'all don't know is we had so much content
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: season six that other producers who shall remain nameless, said,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: do not film Cynthia's belly Bowl.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: Did you know that? Yeah?
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I know that it would always come to by the
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: end of the season, I couldn't film any more events
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: or that many scenes anymore because I had done so much.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Always, because I always showed up.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: You know, I was never really like big on bringing
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: the drama, but I definitely you know, I always felt
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: like a team player. I always respected everyone else's events,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: always showed up and you know, participated, and you know,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I was actually one of the girls that I would
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: get the phone call from you guys said, hey, we
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: gotta get.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: This name going. You know, we're like three weeks in,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: nothing's happened.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: We need a Bailly queue, we need we need it.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: We need an all cast tomorrow. And I always had,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: you know, spaces I had. I had the Bailly Agency
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: School of Fashion that was a physical place that we
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: can go and shoot. You know, when Peter and I
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: were together, we had bar one. We could all go there.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: So I was definitely I feel like one of the
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: first housewives that actually had physical spaces that we could
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: just pull together an event in two seconds. And I
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: got that phone call.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: A lot for you guys, oh, because you were you
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: were You were always able to have an event that
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: made sense for all the casts to go because you know,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: everybody don't get along, but everyone got along with you.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: So the Belly Bow, we were not supposed to film it.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Y'all know me, No one tells me no. So I
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: was like child, I'm shooting the Belly Bowl and y'all
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: gonna have to deal with it. And look what happened.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Cynthia created an event that got some great content. We
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: would have never seen the destruction of Nini and Marlow's friendship.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna take y'all back to season eight, the premiere.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I was actual to comeback season eight because no Shae,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: nothing was happening, and I came back.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: To the show. Okay, go ahead, I came.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: I came back to the show season eight because another
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: producer was wasn't producing, and I said, we need a
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Cynthia Bailly event. And that's when you guys saw the
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: rooftop celebration of Cynthia's Remember, and that's when Scharay came
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: in and Sharay and Kenya had their epic moment on
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: the rooftop.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: I'm going to gag you some more.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Season six, we had the White Party at the Bailey Agency,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: another Cynthia event, and that's when Ninnie and Kenya got
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: into it when she said, no, Niche, you're gonna tell
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: me who I can't cannot invite, because Kenya was mad
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: that Nini invited Walter to her bdding.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: So that's a long way of saying this, y'all need.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: To stop fucking around and calling Cynthia borings or not
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: relevant as the producer who worked on the show seasons
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: one through nine. I'm telling you, without Cynthia, this show
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: would not have been the hit that it is.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Carls, You're gonna maybe cry.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, thank you. You know, it just feels
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: good to be recognized, especially by you, Carlos, because I
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: know you were definitely one of the wizards behind the
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: curtain all the time making sure the show worked, because
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: otherwise we would just show up the scenes and just
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: eat all the food and drink all the cocktails. Any
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And a lot of people
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: ask me all the time, is the show scripted?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Whatever? But no, of course the show is not scripted.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: But they have to put us, you guys, have to
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: put us in situations. So when people say that I'm boring,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I just.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Kind of look at it like, you know, I've always
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: tried to handle myself with class and grace. I'm just
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: always this is who I am. That's just who I am,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: and I think it's like my superpower too. I think
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: that's why the network liked me. I think that's what
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: may made me such a good fit for the show
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: at that time that I was just I just honestly
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: came on being myself and that's it.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: That's all I could do.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: And it worked for me for eleven amazing, unforgettable, insane
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: years of just being a part of the Real Housewives
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: of Atlanta. And you know, anytime, you know, I think
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: one of the things that I'm proud of is Carlos,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: is that I never left who I was. I never
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: sold my soul. I never did anything that I was
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: uncomfortable do, and I hate it even when I had to.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Like I remember when Peter and Apollo got together, they
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: were talking about mister Chocolate whatever, and of course Apollo
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: told Peter, so of course I had to take it
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: back to the group. And I tell you, I was
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: like sitting there because I was like, you know, again,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: the show is not scripted, but I knew that I
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: had to.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Deliver a message.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, So the message was to left Page Renault that
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Apollo told Peter that she was like dating.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Somebody named mister Chocolate.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: What I tell you, guys, I was sitting at that
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: table praying for like the electricity to.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Go out for like aliens to.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Invade us like anything. So I did not have to
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: tell this girl that because as soon as I got
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: to the scene, Favor was so nice to me.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: She was like, oh my god, it looks so cute.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I love your ear rings, I love your sweat, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I'm like, stop being nice to me. I had to
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: drop a bomb. Stop being nice to me, because it
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: just is so hard.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: You guys have no idea how difficult it is to
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: do a reality show like this, because you know, it's
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: a lot mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: We get a lot to this show and it's very easy.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: And now I get to see, you know, as I'm
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: not on the show anymore, I get to sit back
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: and watch.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: You know, the show, and you know.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: From a whole different, you know, with a whole another
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: set of eyeballs because I'm not a part of that
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: drama anymore.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: And I remember like certain.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Scenes, I would be like, oh my god, I have to, like,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: you know, tell the girls what happened. And everybody was
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: like Kenny was kicking me on the table, like say it,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: say it. Claudie was like squeeze my hand, like you
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: can do it, you can do it. And I think
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: even Edie was fun to like. Girl, if you don't
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: go ahead.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: And say what yes, it was a mess. It was
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: a mess.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: But I will say I never enjoy even if the
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: girls that you know, if I was going back and
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: forth with someone or they really didn't care for me
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: that season. I always hated to like have to you
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: know it, I pour their tea to them, honey or
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: or whatever.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: But it goes.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: And this is what I want people to know. And
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: you don't know this. Everybody has a role on these
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: ensemble shows. And I always tell people and this this
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: is an exclusive to you, Cynthia. When I cast shows
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: and create shows, I always say, okay, this is good,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: but who's our Cynthia Bailey? I promise you. I told Brent.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: I told Brent last week. I said, yeah, I hear you,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: but I think she's our Cynthia Bailey. And he understood
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: what that meant. So I want to explain that to
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: the audience. Every show has a person who is, you know,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: a loud mouth, a shade queen, a little DITSI like,
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: there's always these different archetypes that they have. And I
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: always tell people you can't do a show with five
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Nini leaks. Five Porschas. You know, you can't do a
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: show with five Gazelle Bryant's. It doesn't make sense. And
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: when I tell people you need a Synthia Bailey, you
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: need someone who's able to bring balance to the show.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: You need someone.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Who gives everything of their personal lives to the show.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: You need someone that can rally the troops.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: So the reason why we always said we need a
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Synthi of Belly event, there has never in the history
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: of the Real Houseports of Atlanta that a girl did
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: not show up at a synth of Belly event. And
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: the reason why you have staying power is because you
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: are always the one to rely on and people don't
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: understand that when you have a show with a group
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: of women. Every single show needs a Cynthia Bailey. And
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: that's why this podcast is for me to honor you.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: And one of the other things I want them to
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: say is Season three would have been a flop without
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: you because we saw a real relationship go through ups
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: and downs with Peter Thomas and your mama and your
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: sister Hot in the marriage certificate, kid, you know it
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: was it was something we've never seen before, and we
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: saw the ups.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: And downs of your relationship with Peter.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Obviously you two aren't together anymore, and then you were best.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Don't forget about the Frame Contract.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Season Grand Contract season three with Mimi and you guys
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: being friends.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: And I want to ask you this.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: I feel like someone said this to you, but I
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: want you to respond and tell me your truth. Were
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: you ever told or felt that without Nannie or Peter
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: that you would not have staying power on the show.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Actually, Peter may have told me yourself were breaking up.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: Peter.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, Peter was definitely a huge part of my
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: story for sure, because we were just honestly, you know,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: we had lost everything. We were like struggling, and you know,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: we had never saw, like anyone really actually in real
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: time go through a financial struggle. Like I was like,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: you know, paying Tony come, we on a payment plan.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: It was like a lot going on, and I was
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: so stressed out. And I remember when you know, we
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: were having issues, and I feel like, you know, like
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: in the middle of an argument he made be like, well,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: you know they're not going to keep.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: You on the show without me, you know how Peter is.
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: But anyway, years later, years later, and I actually was
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: like when he said that.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I was like, you know, here's the thing too. When
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Peter and I did.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Decide to go our separate ways, I knew that I
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: would not drag him publicly.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Again, That's just not who I am. And you know,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: it just didn't work out for us.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: It just is what it is.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm dragged him. I'll camp we dragged off Camra. Okay,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: we definitely had some very you know, he did conversations.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: But you know, I'm out of respect for our marriage,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: out of respect for him as this as this black man,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: this strong black man that he is.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm always grateful to Peter because I.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Was living in New York City, minded my business child
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: when I met Peter Thomas and I decided to move
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: to Atlanta. He was the one that said to me,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: you know what it was at April Love and Satchel
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: were like, you know, I think they were working with him, Yes,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: they were working with him, and they were like, we
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: love Cynthia. You know, was she ever go on Housewives?
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: And I was like, what, like, oh no, no, no, no,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not like that girl at all. And he was
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: the one that convinced me to, you know, take the
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: meeting and the first person I filmed with to.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Test with, and Joy can tell you this was Derreck
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: j And I was like, it was in my house.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's so many things that happened at that house.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: But anyway, long story short, you know, shout out to Peter.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: You know, we are I'm always, I'm very I'm I
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: will be grateful that he convinced me to step out
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: of my comfort zone and do something different with my life,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: something that I was very unfamiliar with, you know, I mean,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: who knows how to do a reality show. I was
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: a model living in New York.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: City and that one choice changed my whole life. Like
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I was known in a fashion.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Industry, but I wasn't like famous like this, this is crazy,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: like you know, when you become a housewife. So anyway,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: so Peter Thomas. Shout out to Peter, but he did
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: throw some shade and say that you know.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: And then as far as Nanie, I'm sure the fans
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: myth thought that you know or whatever, and that's fine.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: When I came onto the show, I was pretty much
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: given Nini.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Like Nini was like, we're like, okay, you're gonna be.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Friends with me, and we actually had only met like once,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: and I'm so glad that we can break the four
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: wall now and just like tell people how the show works.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: And I think that's one of the best things that
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: happened actually when I went on girls trip, that we
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: could just say, hey, you know, this is what it is,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: this is what's happening and whatever.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: So but we went to Papado's and I remember she
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: was like huge, like she was like blowing up, like
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: she was like she was the breakout star of the show.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: And I, as God would have it, was, you know,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: they placed me with.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Nini, So I felt like, to be honest, I did
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: feel like there was some safety under the wings of
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: being with Nini on the show because literally all I
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: had to really do was just be myself and she
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: really just had to be Nini and I was just
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: her friend. I was she would have to bring everything
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: back to me. So I did feel some comfortability like, Okay, well,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: you know, Niani's not going anywhere anytime soon.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: She started the show.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: So if I'm with if I'm our best girlfriend, then
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: that gives me some you know, some kind of safety
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: because you know, we we shoot so much together. So
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: I did I did feel that for sure. So I
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: always would give you know, my props to Nini as well.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: No, we will too.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: And speaking of props, so she recently did an interview
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: and someone complimented, you sing your beautiful and her response was, oh,
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: really have you seen her in person?
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: I'm sure you brought U saw the video.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Everyone was sending it to me, as.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: Did you say that as shade?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I take that as shade, of course, but I also
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: know Nini, and you know, at this point, I'm just
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: not surprised, you know, when she throws shade my way, certainly.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: You know, sometimes people don't see you as you see yourself.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I think I look great in person, and.
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: And you know what's so funny our fans, and I'm
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: sure the other ladies get it.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: As well, like when I tell you, every time I
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: meet a fan, the first thing they say is, oh
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: my god, you're so much prettier in person than you're
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: on TVs. And that's the funny thing. And I'm sure
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: she's gotten the same thing as well. But you know,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I'm just in a place in my life, Carlos, where
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: I just choose not to participate in anything that's negative energy,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Like I'm really in Cynthia protection mode over here, and
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I'm very focused on my acting career and this next
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: chapter as I you know, leave a marriage and start
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: rebuilding my life.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: It's all love over here. You know. I just laughed,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: and I mean, was I shocked?
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: No, But you know she did reach out to me
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: and and you know, offer to have drinks or whatever
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: and said she was sorry about my marriage.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: So I hope that that was genuine. But I don't
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: know we're gonna be having them drinks anytime soon, but.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Since right after she would right show it like you know,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: you know, shaded me for no reason.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: So whatever, I.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Hate you interrupt, but stay tuned for more. We'll be
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: right back after these quick ads. This is reality with
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: the King, and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: the show. You are always a classy woman, and you
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: talked about, you know, leaving your marriage and as someone
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: who knows you personally and saw you fight for your
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: marriage with Peter against your own.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: Mom and sister.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Because when you love Cynthia being an Aquarius, you love
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: herd and you love I'm.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Sorry, yes, well I'm on the customer PI gonna Okay.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: The Aquarius is the love side. The pisces are the
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: sex side, because you're also freaking the sheets according to Peter.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: So anyway, so okay, we I just want to offer
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: this up to you.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: You know, you have my condolences because I know getting
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: married for you is something that means a lot.
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: To you, and you take a hile seriously.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: And I've got the pleasure of meeting Mike Hill because
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: I was on his network and he has interviewed me
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: and he's been nothing but sweet and nice, and Mike,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: if you're listening, high and I love you too. A
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: lot of people Cynthia have said things like, Cynthia, girl,
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: you didn't see the red flags. I mean, the man
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: wrote in his memoir how he was never faithful to
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: a girlfriend of his his ex wives. You know, experance
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: all these things, did you. How do you feel when
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: people say, Cynthia, the red flags were there and you
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: chose to ignore them.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Well, what I say to that, Carlos is, you know,
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: people don't know what's all the ins and outs of
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: someone else's marriage.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. This is my second time
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: being married, and.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Of course, like I take people as they are, So
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, there were red flags with Peter, but I
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: still married him.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: I think people are going to have red flags, But
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: at the same time, I'm a loving woman.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I'm a forgiving woman again. I meet people where.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: They are, and I think that, you know, when I
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: went with Mike, when I decided to be with Mike,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: when I fell in love with Mike, I felt like
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: whatever was going on in his past, that was his past,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: that has nothing to do is how, nothing to do
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: with how he's going to show up with me. And
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: you know, we had an incredible, incredible years together. We honestly,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: honestly did. And to be completely transparent, I still very
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: much love Mike Hill.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I'm still healing.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: You know, you guys saw the announcement, but we're still
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Like I thought I was gonna be with this man forever,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: and I believe that he felt like he was going
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: to be with me forever as well, and we just
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: made the adult decision because you know, my life, his life,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: my happiness, His happiness is important. I'm fifty five years old,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: maybe twenty five thirty more summers left in my life,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, So it's very important for
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: me to to have peace and to be happy, and
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: we just got to a place where, you know, I'm
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: going through a new transition with a job. You know,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: I don't technically have a job yet, you know what
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. But I'm working hard, I'm growing as an actress.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm a hustler, I'm a boss, I'm all
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: of those things. You know, he's in transition with his life.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: You know, we just met at a place where we
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: would just be better off his friends at this point,
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: and that's just honestly what it is. But one thing
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: I do want to clear up, though, what I do
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: see and I don't like is when people say, girl,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: just give it up. You've been married like multiple times.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: You've been you know, you know how many times you
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: go get married. Maybe you're just not the marriage type.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're just you know, you know, you just should
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: just be with someone. You should never get married again.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Let me just first say, I've been married twice. That's
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: not multiple, that's two times. Okay, It's not like I've
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: been married like ten times and nothing worked out for me.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Twice and the first marriage, God, can you get some
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: grace on the first one. You don't know what you're
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: doing the first time you get married. This is your
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: first marriage, and I learned a lot from that marriage,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: and I took a lot of wisdom into my second marriage,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: and I didn't make the same mistakes in my second
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: marriage that I made in my first marriage. So I
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: say to the people that say that, let's just get
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: it the fact straight. I've been married twice and I
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: am a piscis woman. I am a lover of love.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: I love with my heart.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I jump in both feet first, and that is my
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: choice because this is my life and I'm the only
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: person that has to live in and I have no regrets.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: I have no regrets with.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Leon, with Peter, with anyone that I have given my
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: life to, and.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I am looking so forward to my future.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: I'm still very optimistic and hopeful of funding love again,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: however it comes. If it's a boot a bay a marriage,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it's going to be, but I'm
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: here for it and I'm ready to receive it whenever,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: whenever God wants me to have that.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: And I think it's crazy to think that someone isn't
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: deserving of, you know, figuring it out. You know what
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I'm saying.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: It's like I mean, jay Log can get married how
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: many times she wants to, and it seems to be
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: working out for her.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Okay, now that's knowledge. Get married twice, now that's that's
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: tea and no. And the thing about is this.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: You are a woman who's been famous and successful since
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: you were fifteen years old, and I don't think people
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: understand that that you have always been independent and when
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: you when you go through life, you go through these
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: abbs and flows because at the end of the day,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: you're trying to figure things out. And a lot of people,
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: even when they tweet, think Cynthia like girl. We saw
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: the tweets with Mike hil He was blurting, what do
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: you say to people who think that infidelity was a
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: part of this decision?
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I say to.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Them, first and foremost, it's none of It's none of
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: their business, to be honest, you know, marriages can survive
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: infidelity number one. And I'm not you know, I'm at
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: age where most of my friends are either married or divorced.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: And believe me, the ones that are married have gone
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: through a lot and they decided to stay. And worse
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: than infidelity sometimes, you know, you know, children have been.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Born in marriages and people still decide to stay. So
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: with that said, what I say is live your life,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and live your life because you're the only person that
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: can live it.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: And you know, it's like, whatever my cross is the bears,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: it's my own personal decision to deal with whatever I
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: choose to deal with because it is my life and
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: to each his own. You know, love is love and
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day, what you choose, what
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: works for you, what works for your marriage, is completely
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: your choice and your option.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: And to get away from the rumors, this is my
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: last question about that. One of the things that people
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: have said to say things because I want I want
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: you to use this to be able to debunk all
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: these rumors, and because you're not close friends, I want
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: to give you the opportunity.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: To do that.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: One of the things that people have said is, you know,
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Mike Hill wrote in his book how when the Steve
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Harvey show happened, it was an opportunity for him to
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: cross over in the entertainment space. And obviously you're somebody
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: who is on the biggest reality show in the world,
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: and people felt that after you weren't as back. That's
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: also a reason why the marriage didn't work because he
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: no longer had the show to promote himself.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Two part question as far as him going onto the
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Steve Harvey Show as an opportunity to get exposure, whatever
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: his reasons were probably so you know what I'm saying,
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: I didn't know him, he didn't know me. You know
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: it is it was a national TV show.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: So whoever, whatever his decision was, I don't.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Have an issue with that, you know what I'm saying.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: So if that's that was his reason, and that probably
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: was his reason.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, fine, so be it. People you know want to
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: get exposure. That's what it is. He didn't know.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: First of all, I didn't know if I was going
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: to pick him, so you know, it could have went
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: that was, you know, two of the very nice men
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: there to choose from, So.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: He didn't know.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: So good for him that he's you know, trying to
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: use whatever platforms he can to get.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Exposure, to get exposure to do the things that he's
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: trying to do with his life. Okay.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: The other part, in terms of me going back not
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: going back to the show. You know, it's interesting because
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: a lot of people, a lot of people were saying oh,
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: you know, you know, she probably didn't go back because
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Mike didn't want her to go back.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: One of the things I will say to you is
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: I've been married on this show twice. Okay, I will
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: never say that this show breaks up marriages. I won't
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: say that, But what I will say, I will.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Say it's very hard to start a marriage and be
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: on a show like this because you have to give
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: so much of your marriage and you're still really you know,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: getting to know like the person that you're married to.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: And I feel like, you know, once you actually become
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: married and become husband and wife, that's really you know,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: where it becomes more sacred than just dating. And some
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: things are just just that, some things are sacred. So
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: with that said and done, with everything that I went,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: I gave so much with my marriage with Peter. Honestly,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: you know me not really you know, wanting to share
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: that or feeling like I wanted to share that once
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Mike and I became married. Really was just me protecting
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: myself and my marriage. But I will say Mike had nothing.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: To do with me not going back.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: If anything, if I had to lean one way to
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: the other, I think he was happy that I did that,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: I didn't go back, to be honest with you, and
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: he was the one that was always saying, hey, you
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: know what, I feel like, you're definitely someone that can
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: transition into other things. You know you've done You've done
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: such a great job on this platform. You know, you
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: have a great relationship with the network. You know, you're
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Cynthia Bla you you you know, you still have so
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: much that you can do with your career. So if
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: it went one way or the other, it was definitely
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Mike pretty much encouraging me to believe in myself to
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: take that leap of faith after eleven years of being
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: a consistent housewife on the Real Housewives of Atlanta to
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: do other things, which which was something that I personally
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: wanted to do.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: And in terms of me not going back.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: To the show, let's get this straight too, because I
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: know a lot of times I think I saw like
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: a clip of one of your podcasts.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of times when people get fired
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: from the show, they'll you.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Know, the network always gives them grace to just you know,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: put whatever narrative they want out, which is very nice
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: of them to do that. Okay, I've always been very
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: transparent with how my eleven year run run on The
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Real House West Atlanta ended. For me, I was honestly
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: in a place where I just didn't feel like I
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: really felt like I had that full circle moment, Like
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: I just didn't I wasn't having that much fun with
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: it anymore.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I felt like I didn't really have a lot to give.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: I did want to like just kind of get to
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: know my husband off camera and just spend time with
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: him and not have to shoot because we shoot a
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: lot in Atlanta, like it's a very rigorous schedule.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: So for me, that was that was my thought process.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: So when The Real House was Atlanta did start back up,
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: I got a call from my girl of Rain and
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: basically they were interested in me coming back as a friend,
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: which which I actually entertained to be honest, because this
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: is how the friend games changed. People are housewives one
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: season friends one season. I mean you you were like
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: definitely instrumental and like, you know, some housewives starting off
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: as housewives.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: And becoming friends. But by the time you know, you know,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: the season wrapped up or whatever, so you know, they
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: do it in all the other franchises.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Like the friend thing is not a bad deal, Like,
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: it's not like I know people though, you know, you
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: have to be a housewife. I've seen people be housewives,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: be friends, they'd be housewives again.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Be friends again.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: It's like it's involved. The show has evolved so much
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: in terms of what a friend of the show means
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: exactly exactly. Now she's back as a full time housewife
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: and that's that's great. So I love that Number one
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: of the network gave me that option because I really thought, well,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: maybe this is a way because although I had my
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: reasons for feeling like it wasn't right for me to
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: go back to the show, I definitely felt like, you know,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: it was kind of hard to cut the core and
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: just be like, Okay, I'm just done with housewives. So
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: I was like, maybe the friend brow is a way
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: I can just shoot sometimes and still be.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Able to focus on acting and focus on my marriage.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: But what I realized is really, you know the friends,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: you know, they do a lot of work too. Friends
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: gotta go on the trips, the friends. The friends still
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: have to show up everything. And I was like inflence money.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: So I was like, well, now, okay, once I think
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: about like, unless I can just pop up like you
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: know three times in the season.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Then I'm pretty much working, except I'm just not a housewife,
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: and you know, I'm just making a smaller check. So
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: I just thought, you know what, I'm gonna go ahead.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: I appreciate this good offer, but.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: I'm going to gracefully decline on that one. Okay, And
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: but it was but it's great. I did think about that,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: but I was never like, oh, I was fired. I
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: guess I don't know what that's called.
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: Maybe yeah, No, it's a thing.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: It's a thing, because obviously I said something like these
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: are the housewives who quit or whatever, and listen, I
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: will admit when I'm wrong, because everything's about wordplay.
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: And at the end of the day, you weren't fired.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: You were offered a lesser row than a peach holder
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: and you chose not to accept it, and that doesn't
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: mean you got fired. So I want to make that clear,
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: and you're right about that. But I want to ask
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: you this though, on some honest shit.
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: Did it as someone who has watched you give at
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: bird read thing to this show.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: You gave every god she gave, every piece of her
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: life to the real Hospital of Atlanta. Did it ever
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: come a moment when you felt like the moment you
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: were told to be, the moment you were asked to
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: be a friend of. Did you have a moment where
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: you were like, well, damn, Like I gave everything to
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: the show and you got some chicks on this show
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: who ain't given half of what I gave and they get.
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: To still be on.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Honestly, it always feels good to be wanted. Okay,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: it always feels good to have that. You know, I've
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: never not gotten that letter. I've never not gotten that
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: letter early. Okay, I well those let us go out.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: My letters usually at the top of the list. Okay,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: let's just be very clear. I've never had the network.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Like you guys have never called me and said, hey,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: we need to talk to you. We're not sure if
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: we want to bring you back. You're not.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: There was never a point in any of the seasons
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: where anyone, you know, the Bravo people were like, hey,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: well you know you're not bringing en up.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Well I never I.
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: Never had to be.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: They never had to like talk to me about like
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: me delivering or anything like that.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: So I've just had like eleven really very successful years
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: where I didn't hear from the network at all. I
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: just got my letter back and I went back to work.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: If anything, they rewarded me in other small ways.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: But like, you know, I did so much.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: I did many commercials with them, like I was always
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: you know, my daughter Noel has done work with them
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: like I was, you know, really that girl that I
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: felt like although I was in the star of the
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: show or if I never like, people never looked at
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: me that way. You know, I never said next day Dad,
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: never was in the middle or any of those things.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: I felt like the network always gave me other things
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: to say, we appreciate you, okay. And I don't tak
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: take those things for granted because they were amazing, amazing
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: spots for me for me to get.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: And and you know, you know very you know, great
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: money as well. So I didn't look at it like
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: a slap in the face or anything like that.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: I just kind of looked at it like, all right, Yeah,
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: in a perfect world, you know, nobody wants you to
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: break up with them. You want to break you know,
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: you don't want them to break them with you. You
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: want to break them with them even if you want
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: to leave. You're like, can I just break up with you? Though, key,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: just send me my letter and let me just tell
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: you I don't want to come back, you know, Can
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: you just give me that, like we both are gonna
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: get what we wanted to end. You know what I'm saying,
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna come back, but at least I could say,
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: you know what.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I You know I was asked, and you know I didn't.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: You know whatever. You don't understand. It feels good to
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: cut it off with with someone before they cut it
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: off with you.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: But honestly, at the end of the day, because my
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: heart was so heavy about even coming back in any
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: capacity at that point, I was just I don't know
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: if I ever would have cut the cut the cord
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: if they had sent me a housewife letter back, because
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: I think I would.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: Have been because you know, Mama was making a cheap
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: boone Baylor. People's doing good that much.
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: Oh No, you were making a lot of money. Hard
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: to cut off, you know, Oh trust me, I was
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: making a lot of money when I left too.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: Look the check is you okay?
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: Hence my background, So as we wrap things up, you
• 43:41
