- 1:06Speaker 1: she was at lax at baggage claim and she was
- 1:09Speaker 1: walking next to Hillary's Swink. Now, Jada said she did
- 1:12Speaker 1: a double take on her because duh, it's Hillary Swink,
- 1:15Speaker 1: and you know she's a fan of her movies and stuff.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Jada said she did a double take, and you know
- 1:19Speaker 1: she took her phone out because she got distracted and
- 1:22Speaker 1: was trying to find her Make a Wish kids and
- 1:25Speaker 1: her husband. She said, I just looked like, you know,
- 1:29Speaker 1: I was trying to call my husband and then this happened.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Let me read Jada's tweet last Monday at LAX, I
- 1:35Speaker 1: was trying to find my son during his Make a
- 1:37Speaker 1: Wish trip to Disney when Hillary Swink turned around and
- 1:39Speaker 1: snapped at me.
- 1:40Speaker 2: You got what you needed, get what you came for.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Enjoy that picture, Jada says, ma'am, I wasn't taking a
- 1:46Speaker 1: picture of you. I was trying to find my two
- 1:49Speaker 1: terminally ill boys at baggage claim. But thanks for poking
- 1:53Speaker 1: at a stressed mom on her kids make a Wish trip.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Iconic timing because she lived here in Spokane long time ago.
- 2:00Speaker 1: It's oh random. Now, let the record show Jada needed
- 2:03Speaker 1: to let her social.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Media follow us. No she met Hillary Swink.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Okay, please remember that in this thing called life everyone
- 2:09Speaker 1: got their own reality show going, and we all could
- 2:11Speaker 1: be guest star as an extras at any moment. All right,
- 2:14Speaker 1: Jada was sharing space with Hillary, and because of Hillary
- 2:19Speaker 1: and the way she acted, Hillary became a guest star
- 2:22Speaker 1: in Jada's show. So no, so now Jada got content,
- 2:26Speaker 1: okay bonting if she's a blood. Hillary said to Jada,
- 2:29Speaker 1: you got what you needed, get what you came for.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Enjoy that picture. And then Jada said, Hillary stormed off.
- 2:34Speaker 2: A little bit.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Well guess what, Hillary, as you found found out, Jada
- 2:38Speaker 1: wasn't really thinking about you like that. Okay, Yes, she
- 2:40Speaker 1: did a double take, but she had her own life
- 2:42Speaker 1: going on.
- 2:43Speaker 2: She got two terminally ill kids, she's on a make
- 2:45Speaker 2: a Wish trip.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Just because somebody noticed you, ma'am and pulled out a
- 2:49Speaker 1: phone doesn't mean they were pulling out a phone to
- 2:52Speaker 1: take a picture of you.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Okay.
- 2:53Speaker 1: I know we may not realize this in twenty twenty five,
- 2:56Speaker 1: but phones do other things than take pictures. People pull
- 2:59Speaker 1: out phones to make calls, they pull out phones to text,
- 3:01Speaker 1: they pull out phones to check the temperature.
- 3:03Speaker 2: I understand, Hillary, You're a Hollywood star.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Okay, won a couple of oscars but understand when in
- 3:08Speaker 1: a space like the airport, life is about interconnectedness, all right,
- 3:13Speaker 1: not just you being the main character, but the Hillary's credit.
- 3:18Speaker 1: She clearly felt stupid, and she reached out to Jada
- 3:22Speaker 1: via Instagram to apologize and explain she was worried about
- 3:25Speaker 1: her twin toddlers being photographed. Understandable, understandable, But Hillary Swank,
- 3:31Speaker 1: You're Hillary Swink. If you're in public and don't want
- 3:34Speaker 1: you and your family to be seen, then you have
- 3:36Speaker 1: to take steps to make that happen. Okay, take the
- 3:38Speaker 1: proper precautions. Doesn't mean people have the right to overstep
- 3:41Speaker 1: their boundaries, because folks nowadays will just walk up with
- 3:43Speaker 1: the cameras out, you know, ready to take a picture, video,
- 3:46Speaker 1: already recording. So I understand you being on guard. Okay,
- 3:49Speaker 1: those folks actually deserve to be snapped at. But she
- 3:52Speaker 1: can't just assume because a person looks at you and
- 3:55Speaker 1: then pulls their phone out that they are looking to
- 3:57Speaker 1: take a picture of you. Are with you, okay, let said,
- 4:00Speaker 1: no matter how famous you are. And this isn't even
- 4:02Speaker 1: a lesson strictly for famous folks, because I don't even
- 4:04Speaker 1: know what being famous means in this era. But no
- 4:07Speaker 1: matter how famous you are, a little patience and empathy
- 4:10Speaker 1: go a lot further than snapping at a stress stranger,
- 4:14Speaker 1: because that stress stranger is just as stressed as you are.
- 4:16Speaker 1: That person is looking for the kids, and you worried
- 4:18Speaker 1: about your kids too. Okay, you don't know what that
- 4:21Speaker 1: person is dealing with, just like she don't know what
- 4:23Speaker 1: you dealing with.
- 4:24Speaker 2: So just take a deep breath sometime before you assume.
- 4:27Speaker 1: The worst, because everybody not thinking about you.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Please give Hillary swake to Sweet Sounds of the Hamiltons.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Oh no, you are the doggie.
- 4:39Speaker 3: Of the day, the dogee.
- 4:46Speaker 1: All the day. Ye, you're not always the main character,
- 4:53Speaker 1: even if you want oscars for being the main character.
- 4:55Speaker 1: He yo.
- 4:56Speaker 3: I remember I was in the airport, right, and I
- 4:59Speaker 3: did that.
- 5:00Speaker 2: It's before you.
- 5:00Speaker 3: I was in the airport.
- 5:01Speaker 1: I was.
- 5:02Speaker 3: I was, however, edible, and I was just I would
- 5:04Speaker 3: have did this sober. But it was this lady, little
- 5:06Speaker 3: lady walked up to me or whatever, and she had
- 5:09Speaker 3: had our phone out and I was like, look, man,
- 5:11Speaker 3: I you know, I don't want no pictures something. She
- 5:13Speaker 3: was like, no, do you know where? And she was
- 5:15Speaker 3: trying to get me to ask her see that right,
- 5:21Speaker 3: And I was like, damn, I need to humble myself,
- 5:24Speaker 3: you know, that's the first thing I thought. I was like, Yo,
- 5:26Speaker 3: I'm good. I don't want no pictures. Something she said,
- 5:28Speaker 3: do you know where the baggage claim?
- 5:30Speaker 2: If you just go down the escalator?

- 5:43Speaker 3: I think she was like Middle Eastern or something. I
- 5:45Speaker 3: just I don't know why that accent was Spanish, but yeah,
- 5:48Speaker 3: it was like an Indian lady.
- 5:49Speaker 2: And I didn't know. I just thought she was regular black.
- 5:52Speaker 3: But she walked up and I didn't expect for that
- 5:54Speaker 3: her to sound like that, and she was. She thought
- 5:56Speaker 3: I worked there, and she was asking me where it
- 5:59Speaker 3: was you.
