• 0:28

• 0:35
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get on into the latest, and yeah, here
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: we go. So first up in the news, this story
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: is actually really really sad, and normally I don't like
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to start on a sad note. But Kelly Clarkson, huge
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: name of music. I shouldn't have to explain who Kelly
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Clarkson is to you guys, but just in case you've
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: been living under a rock, Kelly Clarkson, huge name of music.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: More recently, she's been a talk show host on the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Kelly Clarkson Show, which has been a big deal, major guests,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: it's a talk show, it's daily, but there's been some
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: absences and I think people may know of her being
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: absent from the show over the last couple months because
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: it was very rare for her to do. So She's
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: been on air for some time and has been very consistent.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: But this week, tragically, we learned the reason behind all
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: of her absences. So a few days ago, it literally
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: was maybe fourty eight hours ago, Kelly Clarkson, out of
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the blue came out and said, Hey, I have this
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: huge Vegas residency starting, but I have to postpone the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: start of it because her ex husband, his name is
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Brandon Blackstock, was sick and she wanted to make sure
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: that her kids were good and everybody was good because
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: he was dealing with whatever the sickness was. So that
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: was the announcement that picked up. Because her residency, as
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: any other Vegas residency, is huge deal, fans have been
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: waiting for some time for it. But then not even
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: twenty four hours later, it was announced via People magazine
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: they broke the exclusive that Brandon had passed away. There
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: was a family statement actually that was shared. It is
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: with great sadness that we shared the news that Brandon
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Blackstock has passed away. Brandon bravely battled cancer for more
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: by his family. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and we ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: this time. And Brandon was forty eight years old when
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: this news broke. You know, I mean, not that it's
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: anybody business and that she has to tell or you know,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: talk about things, but I think people were really really
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: shocked because she had been holding it together and holding
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: it down despite those absences for all of this time,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and no one knew. So TMZ did a story and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: they kind of gave a bit more information. They said
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: that Blackstone or Brandon was fighting melanoma melanoma cancer, which
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: is a serious form of skin cancer. Now TMZ was
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: told that Brandon passed away the morning that the announcement
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: was made. At the time that they did their story
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: about twenty four hours ago. It only happened a few
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: hours ago on the announcement had just been made as well.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: But what was revealed here was that he had actually
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: been fighting Brandon had been fighting the skin cancer for
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: three and a half years now. Like I mentioned to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you guys, Kelly Clarkson had been absent on her show
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: here and there, and it became a thing with fans
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: because she was never really absent, so people were wondering
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: what was going on. People actually thought that she was
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: about to announce that she was leaving the show because
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: they felt like, Okay, she's not here all the time.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: The enthusiasm around the show is going down, it's not
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: as consistent. The Vegas residency is about to start. Maybe
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: this is her saying I don't really want to do
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the show anymore, leaning back into music, or just you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: living a life that she's been able to provide for herself.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: People can't really figure it out. Then this news broke
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and from what TMC was told by their source, the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: reason why Kelly had been absent all of that time
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: was because of the sickness that Brandon was dealing with
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and her having to you know, step in and help
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: out and also help out with their kids that they
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: share together. Now, another thing that was revealed was that
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the Kelly Clarkson staff knew about this, which is a
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: big deal. It shows the respect that the staff actually
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: has for Kelly Clarkson, for her ex husband, who also
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: was her ex manager at one point. He was her
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: manager at one point, no longer was a former manager
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: at one point two. Because the staff knew, but out
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of respect for Brandon and for Kelly Clarkson, they minded
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: their business and no stories, broke, no anything until all
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: of these things happen. And again, this all happened within
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: a matter of like twenty four hours, less than forty
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: eight hours, So TMC was told. Everybody on the staff
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: knew about the illness, but they kept them to themselves
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: out of respect for Kelly and Brandon's privacy. Now, Kelly
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock met at a rehearsal for the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Academy of Country Music Awards back in two thousand and six.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: They did start dating until twenty twelve after they reconnected
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl, and then they got engaged later
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: in the year and were married in twenty thirteen. They
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: shared two children together, and Kelly Clarkson and Brandon at
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: one point were the reason, or she would say that,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you know, their relationship and his encouragement was the reason
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: that she even started the talk show for a long
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: long time. There have been conversations. You know, when Kelly
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Clarkson decided to not do music as much as she was,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: she had been very vocal about trying to figure out
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: like what was next for her and you know what
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: she wanted to do with all the things. I think
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: now we see you know, artists sitting down on podcasts
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and doing these talk shows, and it's normal. But when
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Kelly Clarkson started her show, it was like a breakout thing.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: It was something that was new for somebody in her space.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: It was the ratings were good, still are, But I
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: say that to say that he was a huge factor
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: in her career, in her life. So not only is
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: she losing, you know, the father of her children and
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you know, a former colleague or ex manager or however
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you want to title him, but I'm sure she attributes
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of things that she's been able to do
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to him and his support. So want to send some
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: love and some prayers to her and just you know,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: talk about like how crazy things can be and how
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: unexpected things can happen. Because again, when I saw the announcement,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I thought, okay, you know, they obviously have a really
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: great co parenting relationship. I'd known about the fact that
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: they used to work together. He was her manager at
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: one point in time, so you know, I thought it
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: made sense for her to say, Hey, I need to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: take a step back from my schedule and from work
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and hop in right now because we don't have the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: balance of the co parents in partnership. And then I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: saw the story about his tragic passing and I was like, man,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine how she feels. And then after all
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: of this, like it's announced and it's out there and
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: it's news. Now you become the topic. And she's used
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to talking about topics, but now you become the topic
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and you have to grieve and figure out life through
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: all of that. It was also announced this morning that
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: one of Brandon's daughters is actually expecting her second child
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: in the midst of all of this too, So just
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: in some love to that family, because I mean, just
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: thinking and talking about it is very heavy, but imagine
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: being in it and being a Kelly Clarkson in the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: midst of all of this. Now switching gears a bit,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: want to head on over to an exclusive that we did.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: It was actually over on Breakfast Club. We did an
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: exclusive sit down with Tamar Braxton. She was in La
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: it was the BT Awards. We did the media room
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: with her and when she came and she sat down.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: First of all, let me just say talk about somebody
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: who doesn't hold back. Who she gonna give you. Tamar
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: braxtt is going to entertain Okay, She's going to give
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you a conversation worth your money every single time. But
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: her energy was so different at the media room. I
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: met her at Breakfast Club and when she came on
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, she talked about, you know, not even rebranding,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: but just being more aware of what she's saying, how
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: she's sang it, how it affects people, and all the things.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Because Tamar Braxton has a reputation of all of the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Braxton sisters of being almost like the problem, y'all, like
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the one who is always in the media, who always
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: has something going on and you know, all the things
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and all the drama. But now it seems like she
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: wants to step away from that and really focus on
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you know, she has shows that she's on, she has
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a cooking show. She's also producing shows as well too.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Music is there for her as well. She just doesn't
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: want that to be the center of the conversation. So
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: fast forward to me running into her at the media room.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: This was, you know, a moment because she comes on
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and first thing I can think of is big back Cadillac.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: If you don't know why I throw a big back Cadillac,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: take a listen to Tamar Braxton and her sitting down
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: with any Leaks when she's talking about her former co
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: host Lonnie Love. I remember talking to Tamar.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: I remember talking to you, and you said this to me,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: like they had cast it, all of you guys, and
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: you were like, we're all going out to Diymn. I
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: believe all y'all went to like mister Chaw because Vince, Yeah,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: y'all all went together to mister Childer kind of like,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: you know, just make sure that you guys were friends
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: and sisters and you guys had the same vision and
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: all that you produced her on there.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: As well, I did, wow and creating the show. That's
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: why I'm saying I wish she would have told me
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: that because I wouldn't have cast a big back Cadillac.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Grin. I can't stand your laugh, and that's no shame.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: So Tamar, big back Cadillac, But how beg it?
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: So be?
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how you respond to that. Somebody
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: called me a big back Cadillac. We got a lot
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: of problems. Okay, we got big problems. Unpack car problems,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: all right, But I'm gonna say Tamar Her energy about
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: this moment when I talked to her was very much
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: like Okay, I said it, he hew, but can we
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: please move on? She actually apologized, which I didn't expect.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I expected her to kind of take onus for like,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: maybe that wasn't the right thing to say or the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: right way to describe a person in their figure, But
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I did not expect her to apologize. It was a
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: big grown up step for her. Let's take a listen
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to the apology. That is an interview that I'm not
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: so proud of because it was a lot of girlfriend
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: kitchen talk, you know. Okay, So imagine being at a
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: bar with your girlfriend that you haven't seen in a
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: long time and y'all have cocktails and y'all just start
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: talking about stuff.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: That was that interview got you? But yeah, I mean
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: not tar. But you know, you when you say something
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: to go but I forget, you know, And it's actually
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: when I'm in a comfortable setting, you know what I'm saying,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and then there's cocktails involved, it gets very free flowing. Now,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: this apology went everywhere, circulated everywhere. It was like, you know,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: she had dressed it head on. It was her first
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: time addressing addressing it head on, and even then she
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: was saying in the interview like I'm gonna go ahead
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and say this, like I'm gonna give you this because
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I want to be done with it once I leave here.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: But it picked up so big she did have to
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: talk about it a couple other places. But what I
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: realized from that moment in watching her talk about it
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: with me and the place that she went to, is
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: that Taymar was really trying to grow up like she's
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I mean she's grown, she's grown as hell, so I
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: mean grow up in a sense of like mature and
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: just you know, watch her words type of thing. But
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Lonnie Love had never responded to this whatsoever. And Lonnie
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Love sat down with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, Baby,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and if you know Andy Cohen, you know he gonna
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: stir a pot or two or three. He tried, but
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Lonnie didn't really give him much let's take a listen, Lonnie,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: want to hear the number one question for you? Oh
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: what is it?
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Denzel m said, do you except Tamar's public apology towards
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: you and are you interested in having a conversation with
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: her to bury the beef? I have no beef. That's
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: what I want people to understand. There is it's a
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: one et sided Yeah, it's like you know, and my
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: thing is, you know what when all that went down, y'all,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: I was in Iceland.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what was going on, okay.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: You know, and so I didn't know anything, and then
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I got all this information and I'm like, you know what.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: People wanted me to respond. I'm like, I never respond Andrew.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: You know me, I never responded this, Oh Andrew, I
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: used my platform to entertain, inform, and inspire not to
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: do beefs. If I was on your show, though, I
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: would because I'd be like, oh, yeah, y'all, So.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I think the beef is done. I think it's over.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know, though, because I mean, this has been
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: going on for so long. For those of you guys
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: who don't know the background, when Tamar Braxton was on
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the Real there was a lot of conversation around her
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: departure from the real there were issues that were reported
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: between her and the other women, and you know, and Tamar,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: on that sit down in any Leaks, came out and
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: talked about what her issue was the fact that, you know,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: she was one of the producers for the show. I
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: didn't know that. I had no idea that Tamar was
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: even involved that much in the real It seemed like
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: they plopped her in just to be the villain or
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the bad guy of the show, and then it seemed
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: like that got heavy for her, which I get. Like
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: sitting in a space on a show like that people
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: watch and they listen to for opinion, anytime a moment
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: happens where you have to be the person that like
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you're asking something that people don't want to ask, or
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: you're sharing an opinion, or people just sometimes just don't
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: like you. It's it's something that you, I think you
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: learn how to deal with, but it's not a normal
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: thing to have people just throwing comments and opinions and
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: all that ass you repeatedly. So imagine being a Tamar Braxton,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: you know, from the legendary Braxton family, who's already had
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: this history of like you know, a drama and people
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: feeling like she's the issue, and then they put you
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: on the show and they narrate you, and they produce
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Shoe as the issue where the villain or the bad
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: guy on the show, and then you leave. It looked
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: like she kind of couldn't handle the smoke and she
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: didn't want to see anymore. But come to find out
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: from this conversation with any Leaks that you know, her
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: real issue was the way things were happening, not even
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: just on camera that was an issue, but behind the
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: scenes as well. She poured a lot into that show
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and felt like she wasn't getting much back. And I'm
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: not mad at her. I'm not mad at her at
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: all for her decisions to step off. But I gave
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: you guys all that background because that was so long ago.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: This Lonnie Love Tamart Braxie situation happened so long ago.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: So it's like, I'm so glad that the ladies have
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: gotten to a point where they're like, look, I ain't
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: got no beef. We moving on, you know, we're the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: lemon drop set, Like it's not even that deep anymore.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, one wrong comment, one wrong
