Your energy and people like us 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.680 for example, like we're not for everybody. We're not for everybody, 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:09.640 and that's okay because the people who want to miss 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.880 out big mistake, right, like pretty woman, it really is. 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.320 And I'm just myself and you either love me or 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:17.840 you hate me, and it is what it is. But 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:19.919 give me a shot. And I think you know, you 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.600 get to see a lot of different sides of Gurtie. 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:23.839 No, we love you. 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.840 So I want to get back to just your background 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.600 because you are from Haiti. 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:34.800 Yes, you're a Haitian American. Talk to me just. 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.240 About that background and what it means to be a 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:44.119 powerful black woman in Florida but also worldwide in terms 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.159 of your business and really seeing that you are a 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:48.240 force to be reckoned with. 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.120 Well, I mean, I was born in Haiti and at 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.280 the age of one, my family and I'm one of 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.800 seven kids, so I'm number six of seven. And of 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.800 the whole seven children, there's five girls and two so 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.039 kudos to my father for that, right, So I'm number 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.760 six and at that time there's only six of us. 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.560 My sister was born nine years after me, so I 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:10.680 was the youngest one when I was in Haiti, literally 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.360 the last picture of us is me in my mom's arm. 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.719 And then you know, my father decided because of the 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.640 political turmoil there that we were going to move to France. 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:22.960 So I was only one going to France. So Haiti 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.280 has a very special place in my heart because it's 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.400 I am Haitian and it's in my blood. But unfortunately 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.640 I never get the chance to live and feel the 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.240 soil and feel that culture beat, and so away from 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.839 Haiti is where I get the sense of being Haitian. 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:38.880 But I always feel like that's a miss in my 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:42.240 life and avoid that I hope comes full circle and 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.440 I end up back in my country some way, somehow. 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.320 So I, you know, raised in France for eight years. 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.800 At the age of nine, my father says, okay, America 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:52.640 is the place to be. Everyone's going to America, all 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.320 of our friends, et cetera. And we migrate to America. 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.800 Now that's a whole other story. But I came to 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:00.919 this country and not speaking of word of English. I 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.800 spoke French and a little bit of Creole, and you know, 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:07.080 trying to get acclimated. And the thing with with with 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.480 Miami is that you know, there's a lot of cultures already, 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.240 so Now it's this girl who says she's Haitian, but 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.799 she kind of speaks Haitian but she has an accent, 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:16.919 so she's friends, Oh, you think it better than me. 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:20.360 So I had to struggle to just fit in. And 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.839 that's been my whole whole life, always trying to like 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.080 fit in somewhere somehow, the whole thing, you know. And 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.560 then come to Miami and this is actually what I 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.000 consider my home because here is where you have that 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.400 culture cultural mix, and everybody just kind of, you know, 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.200 appreciates each other, each other culture, and I just love 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.640 to be here because this is really a special sauce, 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.400 is what I like to call it. And I'm just 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.520 very proud to be in Miami and you know, representing 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:48.800 Haiti friends and America here here in the three or five. 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.640 No, honey, you are the secret sauce. When it comes 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.760 to how you were planted here. Yeah, what was your 0:06:56.160 --> 0:07:00.600 teenage years like being somebody who came here not speaking 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.560 a leak of English? Was it difficult for you to 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:03.880 make friends? 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.520 Very difficult? And what happens is I see my story 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.320 is told in my photos. I go through my albums 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:11.880 and I'm like, oh, that's the face when I try 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.720 to fit into this crowd. That's the face when I 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.720 try to fit into this other crowd. And you imagine 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.080 I will never not have an accent, you know, I'm 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.480 never gonna be normal in a sense. And I've learned 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.240 to accept me because I'm a lot, i know. And 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:26.840 when I walk in the room, I'm like, hey, guys, 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.200 how are you? And people not everyone's able to receive it, 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.720 like you like we we're here, we're like firecrackers because 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.440 we're so full of life and we appreciate life, so 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.080 we live out loud and everyone's like, oh my god, 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.520 you're too much. And so I lived my life literally 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.000 feeling confident when I came to America, and then it's like, 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.000 oh no, they don't like me over here. Oh no, 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.400 they don't like me over there. And it's tiring. It's 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.360 tiring to try to fit in. So now I realized, 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:53.560 just do me, and those who are going to be 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.360 my tribe will be my vibe, and that's it. That's 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.320 what I can offer, and it's worked out for me 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.040 ever since. But I had to put myself in the 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.720 leadership position because there's so many people like me that 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:06.920 won't speak up for that. And in high school, elementary school, 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.000 I'm going to say elementary school is the worst. And 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.000 then junior high was acclamation, and then high school was 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.000 the takeover and the queen took her crown. Literally, I 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.480 was promp queen and everything. By the end. Yeah, and 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.920 I got my king over there, and twenty eight years later, 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.000 I'm living my best life. And it is it is 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:22.480 what it is. 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:24.320 Why was elementary school hard for you? 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.600 Why? Because I was the tallest girl. I was literally 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.640 pretty much this height with my father was a pastor, 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.080 so you got the freaking braids, with the ribbon, with 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.120 the you know, all of that I was. I was 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:38.320 here at the age of fourth grade, third grade, going 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.240 into fourth grade, and so all the kids were making 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:42.440 fun of me. I had to go to a special 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:46.280 class called ESOL, which is special education for like English learners. 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:48.720 It was really bad. I was wearing like you know, 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.440 church outfits and like you know, raise my hair, and 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.599 all the girls have perms, and I was tall and 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.720 they used to call me giraffe. And I didn't speak English, 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:57.560 and so it was hard. It was really hard. And 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.360 then all of a sudden, I'm like, wait, I am 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.000 the tallest, so actually I'm towering over them, so like 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:05.280 a giraffe andey, I look down on you people. That's 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.439 how I had to set myself out to be like 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.440 I'm a bad ditch, and little by little, little by little, 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.000 I just started gaining that confidence back to what I 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:14.720 used to have in France, because in France, you didn't 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:16.839 mess with me. Somebody was getting beat up or I'm 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.640 gonna call Gerdy. And by the way, exclusive my name 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:26.040 was not Gerdy in France, Okay. I had what they 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.440 called me in friends is Elicieba. So my full name 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.520 is Gerdy Elisheba Regui. That's my full name. 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:34.840 I know, Okay, I want to pronounce it. 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:45.000 It's Gerdid Elicia Ba Alicia BONI like it's rejoiced, but 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:46.960 like it's with REGI. 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:51.120 So that that was my name, So imagine that's friendship. 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:53.360 I don't know whatever my mom was thinking of, Honey, 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.559 that woman was very creative and so this kid the 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.760 reason why we switched my switch my name. You're getting 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.600 so many details here that no one even knows. So 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:02.679 when I came to America, I was like, oh, my 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.120 name is Elicia Belt and they were like, what Alicia 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.559 bum bum bum bum bum. They were making fun of 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:08.960 my name, and then I'm like, okay, how am I 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:15.720 going to do this? Girdy Gerty, Gerty Gerty, Oh Gerty, okay, girl, 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.520 g you name. I'm like, okay, okay, let's do this. 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.440 So it switched to Gerty. But I came to this 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.520 country with a completely different name, which was my middle name, 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:25.280 and then I ended up leading with my first name. 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:26.480 So now is gerdy. 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.280 Y fascinating? Fascinating? 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:30.800 Yes? 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:32.880 How did you get into. 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:38.959 Wedding planning, design and just the beauty aspect of your career? 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.200 So, like I told you, by the end of high school, 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:46.280 going into college, I was a full boss. I owned myself, 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.000 I owned my truth, and I owned my identity. And 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.319 so I went to Saint Thomas University, which is the 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.040 same college that my husband went to, and I stayed behind. 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:58.400 Actually another exclusive, I wanted to pursue ballroom dancing. That 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.440 was that, yes, I know. That was after high school. 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.920 I fell in love with watching Dance with Me with 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.600 Vanessa Williams. I said, this is me, I am her, 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.760 she is me. I'm going to New York and I'm 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.160 learning the chatcha honey, Okay. And then he had me 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:18.360 at hell and I said, I'm this is this is it. 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:20.680 He is my future. And I stayed here and I 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.280 don't regret a thing because obviously, look at this beautiful life. 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.520 Two kids later, the whole thing. And so that's why 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:29.360 now in exercising, I'm like, okay, I'm walking, I'm doing elliptical. 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.080 Now I'm getting back into my groove of dancing again. 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.520 So I feel so happy. And everyone's like, oh my god, 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.240 you should be on dancing with the stores, and I'm like, 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:40.840 I could only wish and dream to represent. Can you imagine? 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.920 So it's a whole of the village, honey, she knows 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.160 a little self, little something something. Yes, indeed, what was 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:51.720 your question again? So how did I become due to 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:56.080 event planning? Right? Yes? So then I decided to go 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.600 into communication arts because in my mind, I'm like, I'm 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.200 gonna be a news anchor if I'm not gonna go 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.280 ballroom dancing, So I'm going to stay here and do 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.400 communication arts. And then I'm like, you know, I have 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.160 an accent, and I feel like this, I'm better in 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.160 the back of the house producing my shows than being 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.320 in the front. As a quote unquote reporter, So then 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.520 all of a sudden, I was VP and then president 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.880 of the TV station at my college, and then all 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.560 of a sudden, I ended up getting a job at 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.880 the alumni office doing event planning for them and throwing 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.480 all these gallas to raise money. And they wanted me 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.520 to go around and meet with all these alumni and 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:28.800 ask for money, and I'm like, I don't like asking 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.079 for money, but I like putting on the parties. So 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.440 that's how I started saying, okay, zone in girls, zone 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.880 in parties, party planning, how do I get into this? 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.000 So through catering, you know your stuff from the back 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.120 of the house, then you are able to lead in 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.240 the front of the house. And that's how I ended 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.959 up doing event planning. And I never looked back because 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:51.439 I am very bossy. I am a multitasker, and I 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:56.240 think way bigger than anybody can even presume. Just like you, 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.520 you think big, and then you need the right team 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.360 to make sure. Like I want to do is make 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.720 it happen. And then you get the right team and 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.920 then it just makes you look good. So I just 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:10.600 ended up doing this for twenty two years, and at 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:13.040 the highest level. If you know, a place called Fisher 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.120 Island is where the one percent live. You can't even 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.120 drive there, my friend, you got to take a ferry 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:22.120 to get on. You're not getting cleared. You get it 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.960 on by boat. You get it on by helicopter, private helicopter, 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.640 or by the ferry. And that's how exclusive it is. 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:31.880 So I've seen Beyonce, Usher, Oprah, you know, Rose O'donald. 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:34.960 Trust me, I've seen it all. I've done it all 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.120 for all of them, with non disclosure agreements of course. 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.160 But you know, that's where you get your grind. You 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.839 know you're able to that's where you get your grind. 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:49.360 You're able to really know and learn from the good, 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.479 the bad, the ugly through those you know, those different experiences, 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.600 and it brought me to where I am today. So 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.079 I'm very fearless because of the fact that I've worked. 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:58.959 I worked with fear for a very long time. 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:04.280 No, that's amazing because obviously, here you are, You're this 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:08.440 beautiful powerhouse. You're running a multimillion dollar business in a 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.640 billion dollar industry, and you are a black woman dominating 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:14.680 that space in one of the richest states in the. 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:15.440 World, Florida. 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:19.360 And I don't think people really understand the gravity of 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:20.720 what that means. 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.400 So you're as good as your last event. That's what 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.360 I like to say, yes when I tell you you 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.560 have to stay humbled in life because the moment that 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.400 you're like, oh I'm this, I'm this, I'm that, oh, 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.200 you will get knocked down in three seconds. And obviously 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.320 we'll talk about it later. But cancer was that moment 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.480 for me of like, oh, humble, yes, humble, but yeah, 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.040 you have to stay literally focused, keep your head down, 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.080 do the work, because you're as good as your last 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.840 event or good as your last performance, whatever you're doing life, 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.240 learn that real quick. Humble yourself always. 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.120 Yeah, yeah no, and listen so to be able to 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.600 have all of this going on for yourself, beautiful family, 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.480 You have this amazing career, this lucrative career. 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:56.960 Perfect life. 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:01.480 When you received the call for Miami Housewives, though, okay, 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.160 what happened? Like, how did you get the call? How 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.080 did you end up on the show, what were your 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.600 thoughts on it? Did you even know about this show 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.680 prior to get. 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.920 I am a Bravo a holic for sure. I will 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.360 always love Bravo. I mean, my god, the best. To me, 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.920 it was the best messy shows ever, it's like, you know, 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.360 it's escapism, right. So, like I come from home from 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:22.920 a long event and I'm like, okay, what is this 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.000 housewife show about? Oh no, she didn't. You know. You 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.520 react to these situations that you've been put in and 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.000 so forth, and I think that I seem to look 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:32.920 like the perfect housewife, the husband, the house of this. 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:34.480 I got it all, you know, in the sense of 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.880 the checklist. But I knew some of the girls beforehand. 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.200 And it's all about connectivity with these shows. If it 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.360 ain't real, it ain't happening, because it can't be reality 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.560 TV without the real inn it, right. So for me, 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.000 it's like Nicole and I are so funny because she's 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:53.320 literally my best friend and we were around the same circles. 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.120 I have a photo of her as in a background 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.720 in an event that I was being honored on because 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:00.840 it was a magazine that I was being featured on, 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.040 and she was at that event and we didn't know 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.040 each other, but we were always in the same circle. 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.040 Same with Alexia. So through all these connections, all of 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.280 a sudden we meet and then the show calls and 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:12.960 it's like, oh my god, this is like all meant 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.080 to be everything in life is meant to be everything. 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.360 There's no mistakes in this life. And so once you were, 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.600 once you acknowledge it, when the call came, it was 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.080 kind of like, Okay, this is it, this is it. 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.120 And you know, I look at Russell of course, because 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:30.480 his approval this includes him too, and he knew, he 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.520 knew that it was like it was inevitable, it's what 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.560 I want to say, and he felt comfortable. And I 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.560 like the fact that he didn't threaten my livelihood, which 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.920 is my business. It wasn't so like here Gerty Jeff 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:44.320 Lewis style, you know what I mean, because there was 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:47.200 a few opportunities prior with that whole concept. But I 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.640 said to myself, this is perfect because it shows my 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.680 balanced life in a sense. So this was great. Yeah, 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.440 I don't regret it. I love it. 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:56.600 What was the audition process like for you? 0:16:57.920 --> 0:16:59.480 It was at so much audition. It was all about 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.240 again that all these girls knew each other and from 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.320 one and then you know, obviously I think the root 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.359 came from the pre cast, those who came from season 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.159 one two and how did they evolve ten years later? 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:13.639 So then the involvement included some of us newbies, and 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.280 that's how we came to be. So it was actually 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:19.280 the perfect the perfect timing, the perfect people around everything, 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.840 the surrounding was proper for everybody, and I think it 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:23.560 just worked out. So it was meant to be. 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.679 No, it really was, because I've said this on my 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:30.040 podcast and the world is saying this too.

One of the things that I'm 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:19.280 so interested in when it comes to the dynamic of Miami, 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:23.680 do all of you ladies have a conversation like we're 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:27.600 gonna bring it because one thing Alexia said on Watch 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:32.040 What Happens Live, she does feel like Miami Housewives is 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:35.560 like the step children of the franchise. She mentioned that before, 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:40.200 so I was always curious, like my marriage to medicine girls, 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:43.399 they're like, listen, we're going to be ourselves, that we're 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:44.399 going to make the best show. 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:48.480 It's that a conversation, it's that a reaction to something. 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.960 It's just I think literally the melting pot that we are, 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:55.040 like we can't help it. Like I'm telling you right now, 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:57.280 Miami is in the sauce. I always like to say 0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:59.480 that we have our seasoning that no one could replicate. 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:03.720 It's like turn the cameras off for real, for real, 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:05.760 we're still going at it or we're still talking like 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:09.040 oh my god. But it's this thing. It's a cadence 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:10.840 that no one could get and it's just the thing 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:12.720 that we have together. So it's like you put a 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:14.800 camera on or off, it doesn't matter because we are 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:19.520 going to be that one personality as we are. Because 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:22.000 that's why I think we were the chosen ones, because 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:25.720 we literally just gel in a way that's like not explicable. 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.919 It's just weird and it's just organic and it's real. 0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:32.159 It's not made up, it's not put on. So when 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:35.120 people some people are like, oh, Gertie, she's so extra. No, no, no, 0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:36.639 you don't know what this guy has to go through. 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:40.119 Russell's like dealing with cuckoo crazy in the best way. Like, 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:42.800 you know, we live we live out loud. Here, we 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:46.280 live out loud. It's too damn hot, honey to get out, 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:49.720 like we gotta let it all out, get it all out. 0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:51.840 No, and you let it all out too. 0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:55.080 And I remember last season one of the things that 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:58.640 your cast makes we're saying about you, was like you're 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:00.560 doing too much Gerty, Remember, so. 0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:05.080 They weren't doing enough, keep going, keep going. Yeah, when 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:06.720 people say you do too much, what does that mean? 0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:09.280 Because you ain't doing enough. That has nothing to do 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:11.160 with me. I'll take care of my lane. You take 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:15.920 care of your lane. Let's keep talking. Yeah, you're right. 0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:18.320 It was kind of like we're taking a back and 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.080 mind you, all of them in their own way are 0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:22.600 very much too much in their own right right. So 0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:25.240 it's kind of like you dictate what I can bring 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:27.240 to the table and how much of it, Like you 0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:29.360 don't do this, you United scientist, So do not bring 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:32.080 my water level down to bring yours up, Like that's 0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:32.760 not gonna happen. 0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:38.840 Well, I concur because last season when I was watching 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:43.680 it and you guys were in the sprinter traveling and 0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:46.960 you and Alexia got into it because she just felt 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:49.560 like you were doing the most and when I say, baby, 0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:55.000 you checked her so good, it was like, I don't go. 0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:57.280 There because you know what, Alexi and I are so 0:22:57.400 --> 0:23:00.520 good right now. And went to the reunion, honey, the 0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:04.560 team up is real, okay, And you're not ready because 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:07.480 it's when I tell you the reunion, it's going to 0:23:07.560 --> 0:23:10.840 spin heads, like, wait a minute, what's going on here? 0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:14.120 You're not ready. You're not ready because there's a lot 0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:19.080 of secrets revealed about some people, and the truth comes 0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:21.959 out in the best way, in the truthful way, and 0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:24.640 finally it comes out in the sense of like, okay, 0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:27.199 let's lay things on the line of what it is 0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:29.520 and what it ain't. So that we can move forward 0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:32.080 or not type of things. So, yeah, you guys got 0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:33.000 to tune in for the reunion. 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:35.159 So you and a Lexi are teaming up against the 0:23:35.160 --> 0:23:35.840 other team. 0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:38.680 Teaming up strategically. It's just that I ended up looking 0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:44.640 over to her like, Okay, now you're on the bus, 0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:49.800 let's go girls. No, it's good, so trust me back 0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:53.600 then if we'll go back there. Briefly, what happened was 0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:56.919 is just kind of like I just felt that I 0:23:56.960 --> 0:24:00.560 wasn't being or able to be my full self, and 0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:03.000 because of the fact that everyone felt like, you know, oh, 0:24:03.040 --> 0:24:05.479 we were here first. It really was kind of like 0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:08.640 OG's versus newbies that is no longer happening. And I 0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:12.399 love that because now people are really seeing people for 0:24:12.480 --> 0:24:14.239 who they are and not because of like I know 0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:17.720 you longer and this and that. So we're we're scratching 0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:20.399 the prerequisites. I didn't feel like I was on the 0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:21.879 same level before. I felt like it was kind of like, 0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:24.560 get up and it's like, oh, you don't know anything 0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:26.080 about that, You don't you want friends with her for 0:24:26.080 --> 0:24:28.480 twenty years. I don't care because we're not twenty years back. 0:24:28.480 --> 0:24:31.440 We're twenty twenty three. Twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four. 0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:34.880 So let's go forward, soldiers, is what I'd like to say. 0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:37.200 So yeah, so I think that now everyone's got the message, 0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:37.560 and it's. 0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:40.560 It's looking good, it's looking at the future is looking bright. 0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:45.040 Definitely cloud the skies, a little sprinkle of rain. 0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:46.200 Rain. 0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:51.119 I love a good weather report. 0:24:52.480 --> 0:24:54.359 How do you feel We're crazy? You know this right? No? 0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:57.400 You know you're my type? How do you feel when 0:24:57.440 --> 0:25:02.679 people say? This got to Alexia's head? She felt that 0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:04.840 she was a fan favorite and that she's the queen 0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:07.199 of the show. And I even think she intimated the 0:25:07.200 --> 0:25:07.800 same as well. 0:25:08.000 --> 0:25:12.200 Well, I can't discredit her for she holds the show 0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:16.399 down in a way that is stable, especially through the 0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:20.440 story with Frankie, and because that story is constant, it 0:25:20.560 --> 0:25:22.439 is a present, it is a pass, it is the future. 0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:25.639 She's with him, he's thank God, of course. And so 0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:28.560 you know, Alexia has a really good heart. But I 0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:31.680 think that obviously through pain and heart from what happened 0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:35.840 with her her life she lived. Her life is a telenovela. 0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:39.240 It's literally not even normal. So she has I think 0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:42.000 aggression sometimes where she takes it out in different ways. 0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:44.520 We all do. By the way how we show it 0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:46.480 is different, and that's what it is, you know. So 0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:48.960 I can't fault her for whatever she is. It's just 0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:51.399 about like just be respectful to others, you know. And 0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:53.840 so I think that she may have been in a place, 0:25:54.560 --> 0:25:57.479 you know, last season, but I think she's you know, 0:25:57.640 --> 0:25:59.960 she's she's realized it. And you see this season her 0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:04.240 putting her best best foot forward at the New Horizon 0:26:04.680 --> 0:26:07.040 episode that happened, you know, the first of the first episode, 0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:09.120 like she tries to say, hey, I saw my bad. 0:26:09.400 --> 0:26:11.560 I'm trying to do good moving forward, And that's what 0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:14.359 it is. It's growth, right, trying to do better the 0:26:14.400 --> 0:26:23.080 people who don't understand how to grow. That's called a clown. Okay. 0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:26.120 Do you sometimes feel like you're at a circus act? 0:26:26.480 --> 0:26:32.119 Sometimes I do, But it ain't a funny one. It isn't. 0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:33.840 So what do you want me to do? So it's 0:26:33.880 --> 0:26:35.520 kind of like it's a scary, you know how people 0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:37.160 are scared of clowns. Now, I understand. 0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:39.240 Why is it like the IT movies? 0:26:39.320 --> 0:26:40.520 Sometimes I don't see it? 0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:44.560 Is it a horror knows? I don't do horrors or 0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:46.720 come to my house or locking my door with the mask. 0:26:46.920 --> 0:26:50.240 Don't do it because we're ready to We're ready to respond. 0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:53.080 Trust be that. Okay, we don't play games in my house. 0:26:53.240 --> 0:26:54.200 We're very secure. 0:26:55.720 --> 0:27:00.720 So by you, by you being this world renown even planners, 0:27:01.119 --> 0:27:06.879 you obviously have created parties, created spaces for people to 0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:10.680 hang out, and been to tons of events. Yes, Lisa's 0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:13.760 obviously is going through this divorce. What has been said 0:27:13.800 --> 0:27:17.000 on the show is how her and Lenny had these, 0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:18.800 you know, luxurious parties. 0:27:18.840 --> 0:27:20.800 Okay, yeah, I've been to two of them actually. 0:27:20.600 --> 0:27:23.200 Yeah, And and how there will always be like these 0:27:23.280 --> 0:27:28.840 scantily clad females around these parties who sometimes. 0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:34.359 Didn't fit the bill if you will, Well maybe they. 0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:37.080 Were maybe maybe they were chump change that weren't bills. 0:27:37.160 --> 0:27:39.720 So that's the that's the first thing. Rule number one 0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:42.359 to go to Lisa party is don't bring your men around. 0:27:42.680 --> 0:27:45.520 So this first of all, Russell is not a social 0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:49.240 person at all. Clearly everybody sees that. But rule number 0:27:49.280 --> 0:27:51.360 one is going to be a Halloween party and it's 0:27:51.359 --> 0:27:54.840 gonna be g strings and booty. Okay, no, no, Russell's 0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:56.560 gonna have enough booty at home not to be going 0:27:56.600 --> 0:27:58.480 to no party to look at no booty elsewhere? How 0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:02.399 about that? So we're we don't the husband there, and 0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:04.280 then when you go there, you don't take you don't 0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:06.600 stay there for long. You give you your hellos to Lisa, 0:28:06.760 --> 0:28:09.359 and that's who we're here for. And then we just 0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:11.000 kind of like, get a couple of drinks, take a 0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:13.479 couple of selfies with on your outfits or thet you know, 0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:16.080 what is it called costumes, and then you go about 0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:19.160 your Mary way. No one lingers at those parties, if 0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:21.560 you know what it is, unless you want to, and 0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:25.800 clearly that's not mean. So Lisa's come to a realization 0:28:25.880 --> 0:28:28.480 with Lenny, and we're glad that we see her now 0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:32.040 finally you know, clap on, clap off, and she finally 0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:34.879 gets it. Okay, the lights are on. That's good, But 0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:38.000 that's good. That's great because now she sees what she, 0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:41.160 you know, has been going through and what everyone else 0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:44.320 has been seeing. So she's she's moving forward and it's 0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:46.760 great to see her moving on and realizing her past. 0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:49.560 And you know, you saw the finale where her auntie 0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:51.400 and her mom were talking to her about how he 0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:54.520 treated them, and it's kind of like, what was that about? 0:28:55.040 --> 0:28:56.760 And you know, so I'm glad that she's realized that 0:28:56.800 --> 0:28:58.760 and hopefully, you know, she knows how to handle things 0:28:58.760 --> 0:28:59.360 moving forward. 0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:01.520 Yeah future, you know. 0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:03.720 Well, we're happy she got that clap instead of the 0:29:03.720 --> 0:29:04.200 other clap. 0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:08.520 Yes, absolutely, we don't want that clap, no, ma'am. So 0:29:08.680 --> 0:29:11.040 Russell is not allowed to go to those parties. 0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:13.320 It's not a he doesn't even want to go there. 0:29:13.400 --> 0:29:15.240 But when I go there and like, literally know what 0:29:15.280 --> 0:29:19.800 I'm gonna get, like proposition to have three four six sms. 0:29:20.640 --> 0:29:26.400 I'm too tired. I got things to do. Leasyusie and 0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:29.560 I think that we're clearly sat ohaking his head. This 0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:31.960 is what he loves it. He loves it. And this 0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:33.800 is why I think that we are very good, not 0:29:33.960 --> 0:29:38.440 because you know, we keep each other leveled in many ways. 0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:43.120 We're good here, we're good here. No one is craving nothing. 0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:43.640 We're good. 0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:45.920 No, no, no, I mean the fridge is stocked. 0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:51.680 Don't you like my symbolisms.

Oh, yes, you 0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:24.920 and Kiki, and listen, I love. 0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:26.240 Don't you guys want to see more of us together? 0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:28.600 I'm just about to say that because I listen, I 0:31:28.640 --> 0:31:31.960 love the relationship between Alexia and Marisol, like you want 0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:35.840 to see more the baby. Why are we seeing this 0:31:36.040 --> 0:31:38.440 dynamic more of us? 0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:41.680 So I mean, all I can say is look forward 0:31:41.680 --> 0:31:44.640 to the future hopefully, because I think that it's it's 0:31:44.800 --> 0:31:49.360 now people are seeing this connection. Listen, KICKI and I 0:31:49.400 --> 0:31:54.200 we're sisters and there's nothing that anyone can say or 0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:58.760 do to write to to separate us in that. In 0:31:58.760 --> 0:32:01.920 that sense, we are eyelands. We're from the same struggle. 0:32:01.960 --> 0:32:03.840 We have the resilience that no one could ever take 0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:07.120 away from us, and so those who try will fail 0:32:07.200 --> 0:32:09.800 badly because it's not gonna work. We will always see 0:32:09.840 --> 0:32:12.160 each other first as like what we are, before we 0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:14.000 try to get into the mess of like he says, 0:32:14.040 --> 0:32:15.840 she said, whatever, we will always be like a girl, 0:32:15.920 --> 0:32:19.520 the girl. Yeah, let's go get up. Wait till you see, 0:32:19.720 --> 0:32:22.680 Wait till you see the reunion. We share the same 0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:26.520 dressing room. I'm gonna start with that. I'm gonna start 0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:29.000 with that. We share the same dressing room and the 0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:34.280 queens are queening, and I'm gonna say something in Creole 0:32:34.280 --> 0:32:38.000 that my people will know it p that's it, okay, 0:32:38.080 --> 0:32:40.720 And I'm gonna say that because we're coming. It's it's 0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:43.040 It's gonna be good. And by the way, my best 0:32:43.080 --> 0:32:45.920 friend is still Nicole is still in the mixed baby okay, 0:32:45.960 --> 0:32:48.600 don't get don't get it twisted. Nichole is my BFF 0:32:49.000 --> 0:32:50.320 and Kiki is my sister. 0:32:51.400 --> 0:32:54.120 Period. Would you like to see Kiki as a full 0:32:54.120 --> 0:32:54.720 time house. 0:32:54.640 --> 0:32:58.440 Absolutely, She's got a story to tell. And it's funny 0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:01.440 because the two of us are Haitian by birth. She 0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:04.280 was in Haiti till she was a teenager. I was 0:33:04.320 --> 0:33:06.680 in Hatity till I was one. So the way that 0:33:06.720 --> 0:33:09.440 we connect is so different because it's not like, oh yeah, 0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:12.480 remember this little store next door. No, I don't know Haiti. 0:33:12.600 --> 0:33:14.880 So I get to learn from her, her from me, 0:33:15.360 --> 0:33:17.280 and it's gonna be a beautiful thing, hopefully in the 0:33:17.320 --> 0:33:19.240 future for you to see how we connect in a 0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:22.280 different level of like my stile of the experience versus 0:33:22.360 --> 0:33:25.480 her side, because Haiti to me is a beautiful place, 0:33:25.560 --> 0:33:27.760 but it also is a very hurtful place because I 0:33:27.840 --> 0:33:31.720 lost family there during the earthquake in twenty ten. So 0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:35.120 we bond in a very deep level. And that's the 0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:37.520 reason why it's like no one could ever check us 0:33:37.520 --> 0:33:40.040 for nothing that we are or not, because it's just 0:33:40.120 --> 0:33:42.480 not even it's not even normal, do. 0:33:42.440 --> 0:33:44.360 You because it's funny because when I watched the show, 0:33:44.480 --> 0:33:46.280 I do feel like they're trying to pit you two 0:33:46.280 --> 0:33:47.000 against each other. 0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:48.920 No, and I'm obviously not. 0:33:49.000 --> 0:33:51.120 It's just like I think, editing wise, there's just so 0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:53.200 much else going on there. It's not like when you're 0:33:53.240 --> 0:33:55.320 heard like are on the show. We don't have combative 0:33:55.760 --> 0:33:57.760 in anything, so it's kind of like, wait, there's something 0:33:57.760 --> 0:33:59.240 going on over there. There's a lot of look over 0:33:59.280 --> 0:34:01.400 here type of moment. Is that doesn't allow us to 0:34:01.480 --> 0:34:04.080 kind of like show the bond. But I think that 0:34:04.240 --> 0:34:08.840 everyone has realized the magic that it is, especially starting 0:34:08.920 --> 0:34:12.080 like the reunion. It's just this little brewing. It's gonna 0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:15.719 just brew itself into a beautiful cup of cappuccino, so 0:34:15.920 --> 0:34:20.120 just wait, wait for it, wait for it. It's happening. Period. 0:34:20.280 --> 0:34:22.680 Well that that just made my day because I've been 0:34:22.719 --> 0:34:25.680 advocating for that on Twitter, like I just love his 0:34:25.800 --> 0:34:31.719 duo and even when on this season when listen. 0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:32.560 I do love all the girls. 0:34:32.640 --> 0:34:36.279 Yes, yes, I was very disappointed in Lisa though, when 0:34:36.600 --> 0:34:41.320 you guys were on a trip and you know, listen, 0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:46.520 Kiki's funny and she's cool. But when Lisa was, you know, 0:34:46.840 --> 0:34:50.480 saying the microaggressions of like wait till the reunion. 0:34:51.880 --> 0:34:53.279 But even you being. 0:34:53.160 --> 0:34:57.040 There, like did you I feel like Kiky instantly knew, 0:34:57.480 --> 0:35:00.960 like you're trying to say, I'm being a attacking you 0:35:02.160 --> 0:35:03.080 till the reunion. 0:35:03.719 --> 0:35:08.880 Wait till the reunion because it's like even Andy gets involved. Okay, 0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:13.120 even Andy gets involved. So you'll see at the reunion 0:35:13.239 --> 0:35:17.960 how it's just kind of like because again, like Kiky's 0:35:18.080 --> 0:35:24.359 experience in growing up is very very fragile, right, So 0:35:24.360 --> 0:35:26.400 she grew she saw pictures about like her house like 0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:28.200 it was it wasn't even a house, poor thing, you know, 0:35:28.320 --> 0:35:31.040 it was literally she struggled in a way. I was 0:35:31.080 --> 0:35:33.160 one of six six children at that time when I 0:35:33.160 --> 0:35:35.920 had moved to France. We were in a two bedroom apartment. 0:35:36.200 --> 0:35:38.279 I struggled in a completely different way, but I was 0:35:38.280 --> 0:35:40.319 in a safe space, which is Paris, and you know, 0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:42.000 like so you get, you get, you know, the help 0:35:42.000 --> 0:35:45.000 from the government. It's just different from Kiki's. So Kiki 0:35:45.120 --> 0:35:48.840 saw that dog throwing food thing as like, wait, what 0:35:48.880 --> 0:35:50.279 are you trying to say, like just because they lived 0:35:50.280 --> 0:35:53.080 there doesn't mean they're not happy or then I fed right, 0:35:53.239 --> 0:35:55.200 And I didn't see it that way, because again, we 0:35:55.280 --> 0:35:57.320 come so our perspectives are different, and that's why some 0:35:57.360 --> 0:35:59.000 people are like, well, we don't need to Haitians. And 0:35:59.160 --> 0:36:02.120 one thing I'm gonna say right now and listen very clearly, 0:36:02.200 --> 0:36:05.799 this is for everyone. Why is it that when there's 0:36:06.160 --> 0:36:10.520 two beautiful black women on a show or in a 0:36:10.920 --> 0:36:13.160 room or whatever, and they're the only two amongst other 0:36:13.160 --> 0:36:16.160 people of different races, why do we need to choose 0:36:16.560 --> 0:36:21.800 and say, oh, her or her versus her and her. 0:36:22.800 --> 0:36:25.360 This is something in the beginning, the very beginning of 0:36:25.480 --> 0:36:29.520 the first season three where I started seeing comments like oh, 0:36:29.800 --> 0:36:32.040 they need to make KICKI this or or Gerdy this, 0:36:32.160 --> 0:36:34.480 and and you know, KICKI out at Gerty out. Why 0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:37.640 because now what you're gonna see is the most beautiful 0:36:37.680 --> 0:36:41.760 thing of sisterhood. And some other shows are not learning 0:36:41.760 --> 0:36:46.319 that properly yet. But you're stronger together. Obama said it, 0:36:46.320 --> 0:36:51.160 and I will repeat it, Stronger Together, and and Kiki 0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:55.960 and gig Baby, it's coming. It's gonna be amazing. 0:36:57.080 --> 0:36:57.719 That's a spin off. 0:36:57.719 --> 0:37:00.759 We needn't know about all that. I would love it. 0:37:00.880 --> 0:37:02.680 I mean, from your mouth to God's ears, you never know, 0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:04.280 but I mean I would love to see. 0:37:04.480 --> 0:37:06.239 I would love to see because. 0:37:06.000 --> 0:37:08.040 You do events and you you do everything in the 0:37:08.080 --> 0:37:12.960 beauty space. Yes, Kiki obviously is this international supermodel right, 0:37:13.200 --> 0:37:16.320 and there's something in that mix. I mean, I'm a producer. 0:37:16.360 --> 0:37:18.840 I'm just saying I see it and I will be 0:37:18.880 --> 0:37:19.440 here for it. 0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:22.600 Listen, I'm a Bravo baby. I want to say, at first, 0:37:22.600 --> 0:37:29.000 make sure I check on my want. We want to listen, honey, 0:37:29.120 --> 0:37:31.120 listen to me very closely. I mean, I think that 0:37:31.320 --> 0:37:35.120 anything is great as long as you show unity. You know, 0:37:35.200 --> 0:37:38.200 people love the mess message great. How about watching something 0:37:38.200 --> 0:37:40.160 when you come home from from from work or school 0:37:40.320 --> 0:37:42.520 and you've already been through the mess at work or 0:37:42.560 --> 0:37:44.960 school and you come home and say, wow, maybe I 0:37:44.960 --> 0:37:47.240 should do something different to create this kind of environment. 0:37:47.360 --> 0:37:51.440 What about that? What about aspirational? Inspirational That's what I'm about. 0:37:51.480 --> 0:37:54.440 And listen, if y'all get tired of that, trust me. 0:37:54.560 --> 0:37:56.759 My life is great. It is great as it is now, 0:37:56.800 --> 0:37:59.279 It'll be great as it is then. But the thing 0:37:59.320 --> 0:38:02.400 is that I'm all about love until you try to 0:38:02.400 --> 0:38:04.480 mess with me and then we got problems and you know, 0:38:04.480 --> 0:38:05.879 you got to push my button a couple of times 0:38:05.880 --> 0:38:08.040 and then it's like lego, you know, And that's what 0:38:08.080 --> 0:38:10.320 you saw with me, you know, you know last season 0:38:10.360 --> 0:38:12.040 it was kind of like, I'm trying to be nice 0:38:12.040 --> 0:38:13.959 to you girl. You don't want me to gratify your ass? 0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:16.319 Now, no we don't. 0:38:16.640 --> 0:38:19.720 But no, yeah, I appreciate the closeness between you and Kiki, 0:38:19.760 --> 0:38:22.160 and like you said, the fact that you two are 0:38:22.440 --> 0:38:26.240 Haitian Americans being able to like coexist and there shouldn't 0:38:26.239 --> 0:38:29.040 be a choice before before we move on to the 0:38:29.080 --> 0:38:32.279 rest of the season, Speaking of that, what are your 0:38:32.320 --> 0:38:36.120 thoughts on this whole Windy Necker thing on Potomac So. 0:38:36.200 --> 0:38:40.160 Sad, so sad, And I'm gonna say it exactly like 0:38:40.200 --> 0:38:43.160 I saw it. There's nothing else to it. Wendy was 0:38:43.200 --> 0:38:46.319 minding her business. Sorry, and Mekka, I sawry brother Khan 0:38:46.440 --> 0:38:50.200 looks amazing, beautiful. But I felt like maybe there was 0:38:50.239 --> 0:38:52.560 just a lot of people in the ear to be like, 0:38:54.160 --> 0:38:56.160 get it. That's how you're gonna get your moment, moment moment, 0:38:56.400 --> 0:38:58.799 And unfortunately she felt for it because it would have 0:38:59.040 --> 0:39:02.480 it would have been even more more beautiful to say, listen, 0:39:02.920 --> 0:39:05.000 there's a lot of brewing going on over here. But 0:39:05.080 --> 0:39:07.080 guess what, I'm gonna give you that benefit of the 0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:11.759 doubt and let's talk, sister. That was a missed opportunity 0:39:11.840 --> 0:39:14.040 for me. And now how do you make it right 0:39:14.239 --> 0:39:16.839 that people are on Wendy like just apologize or forgive her. 0:39:16.960 --> 0:39:18.840 You talk about my mama, We're gonna have problems for 0:39:18.880 --> 0:39:21.800 a long time, right talking about my husband, my children. 0:39:22.000 --> 0:39:23.920 I'm not gonna forgive you whenever people say to forgive you. 0:39:24.000 --> 0:39:26.480 So for me, it's kind of like, let time do 0:39:26.560 --> 0:39:30.520 the healing and it will heal. Wendy's a very she's 0:39:30.560 --> 0:39:33.200 a doctor, she's smart, she knows what she's doing. It 0:39:33.239 --> 0:39:35.839 will happen. It will happen. They're gonna let the guards down. 0:39:35.840 --> 0:39:37.680 But you know what, there's gotta be an apology directly 0:39:37.719 --> 0:39:39.040 to the mama. 0:39:39.560 --> 0:39:44.440 Sorry, no, I agree, I agree, and look I'm on 0:39:44.480 --> 0:39:45.959 Wendy side on this one, okay. 0:39:46.120 --> 0:39:48.200 And not to belabor the point, but what's funny is 0:39:48.560 --> 0:39:48.799 but not. 0:39:48.840 --> 0:39:51.440 As an amazing woman like you know. It's It's just it 0:39:51.520 --> 0:39:54.359 was a bad, bad decision. That's what it is. Good 0:39:54.400 --> 0:39:56.760 people make bad decision. That's it. That's it. 0:39:57.000 --> 0:39:59.279 And we love, we love. They're both queens. We love 0:39:59.360 --> 0:40:02.320 that guy exclusive for you. Because I never told anybody 0:40:02.440 --> 0:40:03.400 nor my brain drops this. 0:40:04.280 --> 0:40:05.959 I am a Raene drop too, but tell me, yes, 0:40:06.160 --> 0:40:09.560 Ray drop me and I'm Gerty five. Okay, boom, there 0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:10.399 we go, There we go. 0:40:11.719 --> 0:40:14.920 I developed a show a couple of years ago based 0:40:15.000 --> 0:40:21.680 on first generation Africans in Los Angeles. Mecca was a 0:40:21.680 --> 0:40:27.080 part of my cast, and Mecca. 0:40:26.760 --> 0:40:29.719 And she migrated her way to Patromac and this right. 0:40:29.920 --> 0:40:31.640 So when I saw this, I'm gonna tell me. One 0:40:31.680 --> 0:40:33.920 of my producers said, God, do you remember Ncca. She 0:40:34.000 --> 0:40:36.359 was a part of the cast for this show we 0:40:36.360 --> 0:40:41.120 were developing for v H one about again first generation 0:40:41.200 --> 0:40:44.960 Africans in America, and Mecca was a part of it. 0:40:45.480 --> 0:40:48.520 So the Necca that I saw on the casting tape 0:40:48.560 --> 0:40:52.759 and the Sizarel. She's funny and she's fabulous, So I 0:40:52.840 --> 0:40:54.839 was looking forward to seeing her on this and I'm 0:40:54.840 --> 0:40:55.680 so proud of her. 0:40:55.760 --> 0:40:57.680 And that's the problem. The thing is that she has 0:40:57.719 --> 0:41:00.640 a missed opportunity because then it derailed her focus on 0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:03.680 herself and her character and building herself up as one 0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:06.360 of the members of this group in Potomac and geared 0:41:06.360 --> 0:41:10.520 it towards the HETERATIONI nation towards Wendy, and now it's 0:41:10.520 --> 0:41:12.760 a disconnect. But they're going to get it back together. 0:41:12.840 --> 0:41:15.680 I know this. They're smart, they're beautiful. They will get 0:41:15.719 --> 0:41:18.440 it together. Promise. I see it in the future. Hopefully 0:41:18.480 --> 0:41:20.120 you do. I think so. 0:41:20.440 --> 0:41:21.400 I don't see it happen. 0:41:23.360 --> 0:41:27.080 That turns through, but I'll say this, yikes, it needs 0:41:27.160 --> 0:41:31.279 to happen to happen. And that's what Miami does really good. 0:41:32.280 --> 0:41:34.680 Say it to the people of the. 0:41:33.880 --> 0:41:36.520 The reason why Miami Housewise is one of the best 0:41:36.520 --> 0:41:41.359 Housewives franchises is because you girls fight hard and love 0:41:41.400 --> 0:41:47.600 heart and you don't belabor the issue carrying into the 0:41:47.640 --> 0:41:48.360 next season. 0:41:48.680 --> 0:41:49.960 Y'all did it at the reunion. 0:41:50.040 --> 0:41:52.480 Try not to. There's going to be lingering, little you know, 0:41:53.480 --> 0:41:56.360 and bruises right, and you know, giving it the example 0:41:56.480 --> 0:41:58.439 with Laursa, people are like, leave her alone, she doesn't 0:41:58.440 --> 0:42:00.480 want to be your friend. Don't be her friend, and 0:42:00.480 --> 0:42:03.040 it's kind of like, no, we bonded before, Like you 0:42:03.040 --> 0:42:05.880 don't understand how human relationships is like that. When you 0:42:05.920 --> 0:42:07.839 find a connection with someone, you're like, oh, I see 0:42:07.880 --> 0:42:10.040 you in this way, and then something happens and then 0:42:10.080 --> 0:42:12.600 you get hurt because you actually care some way, somehow 0:42:12.840 --> 0:42:15.040 about this person. That's the reason why you react, right, 0:42:15.080 --> 0:42:17.520 because you're hurt in some way when the person doesn't 0:42:17.560 --> 0:42:19.520 see it for what it is and that I just 0:42:19.600 --> 0:42:22.200 need you to boom boom boom for us to move forward. 0:42:22.600 --> 0:42:25.359 That's where then the issues begin. So you know, that's 0:42:25.440 --> 0:42:27.560 the relationship with me and Larsa. And at the reunion 0:42:27.560 --> 0:42:30.880 you'll see how we hash it out or not, we'll see, 0:42:31.600 --> 0:42:33.560 but that's what it is, and that's what these bombs 0:42:33.600 --> 0:42:35.960 go on and on forever because you try to find 0:42:35.960 --> 0:42:38.600 the benefit of the doubt and say to yourself, could 0:42:38.640 --> 0:42:40.960 she have meant it? Did she really do it on purpose? 0:42:41.000 --> 0:42:44.760 Maybe not? What you try your best and whatever happens 0:42:44.880 --> 0:42:46.400 after that is whatever happens after that. 0:42:46.800 --> 0:42:49.760 Yeah, no, And I'll say this again. I love Larsa. 0:42:49.760 --> 0:42:51.399 I'm a fan of the show. She's great for the show. 0:42:52.960 --> 0:42:59.880 I was extremely disappointed and Larsa for sharing your diagnosis 0:43:00.400 --> 0:43:05.480 with the girls prior to you having the opportunity to 0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:08.279 do it herself. So that was one thing for me, 0:43:08.880 --> 0:43:14.480 and then it just kept multiplying with and that was. 0:43:14.440 --> 0:43:16.120 The core of it. Is about the fact that I'm like, 0:43:16.160 --> 0:43:18.960 I'm gonna give you you probably mete it, you're bad, okay, 0:43:19.160 --> 0:43:23.359 And then it was the again, again, again again again, 0:43:23.400 --> 0:43:28.480 the perpetrating like perpetuating the whole situation. So anyway, you know, 0:43:28.560 --> 0:43:32.080 it's tiring, guys, Okay, it's tiring, But this is what 0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:34.040 life is all about. It's about these ups and downs. 0:43:34.080 --> 0:43:37.000 It's literally wavelengths, and you gotta take them as a come. 0:43:37.280 --> 0:43:39.680 But when you saw that episode, the one. 0:43:39.560 --> 0:43:42.320 Where she told, oh, like she give with everybody literally, 0:43:42.360 --> 0:43:48.240 I'm like, were you hurt? So hurt because as you see, 0:43:48.800 --> 0:43:50.880 I'm thinking people are saying, oh my god, no she 0:43:51.000 --> 0:43:52.719 met well, oh my gosh. You know that. The reason 0:43:52.760 --> 0:43:55.919 why we didn't say anything is because what hurt most 0:43:55.960 --> 0:43:57.440 was the fact that she asked them to keep the 0:43:57.480 --> 0:44:01.000 secret of her not keepping my secret. How are we 0:44:01.000 --> 0:44:02.719 gonna how we gonna do that? 0:44:03.440 --> 0:44:03.680 Oh? 0:44:04.120 --> 0:44:06.120 Oh, don't tell anybody, Okay, I want to tell. I 0:44:06.080 --> 0:44:08.200 want to tell TMZ Gerdy, don't worry about tell all 0:44:08.239 --> 0:44:09.880 twenty five of my friends at the party for the 0:44:09.880 --> 0:44:13.279 third day disappearance of my you know, Jordan's like it 0:44:13.440 --> 0:44:16.200 was kinda like, wait, but don't tell her.

I'm not 0:45:03.880 --> 0:45:06.120 too sure that I've got to throw a party because 0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:07.560 he was out of top for a couple of days. 0:45:07.560 --> 0:45:11.720 My love, okay, but disappearing a business trip. 0:45:11.640 --> 0:45:14.040 So they so he was founded after being on the 0:45:14.040 --> 0:45:14.480 milk cart. 0:45:15.040 --> 0:45:15.920 No, it was a. 0:45:15.920 --> 0:45:17.360 Business, it was a business. I wasn't there. I was 0:45:17.400 --> 0:45:18.799 in inviting, so I don't know the details. But he 0:45:18.800 --> 0:45:20.120 was on the business trip. He came back and he 0:45:20.200 --> 0:45:25.520 was like, hooray, can I get something? Yeah? No, but 0:45:25.560 --> 0:45:28.080 I mean I went you to say for Russell probably 0:45:28.160 --> 0:45:30.600 if he was gone, because we're never a part like 0:45:32.040 --> 0:45:36.839 it's true, so good. I'm I love a party. So parties, Yeah, 0:45:36.840 --> 0:45:40.359 I love it. You like it, I love it. We're 0:45:40.360 --> 0:45:41.960 not gonna stay on herb for too long. We'll move on. 0:45:42.040 --> 0:45:43.719 But what are your thoughts on. 0:45:45.440 --> 0:45:48.960 Larcess relationship with Marcus, because you obviously get to see 0:45:48.960 --> 0:45:50.240 way more than we as the fans. 0:45:50.480 --> 0:45:53.080 I don't. I don't not invited to the parties, so 0:45:53.120 --> 0:45:55.239 I don't know anything. I just know that they're you know, 0:45:55.280 --> 0:46:01.840 they're they're together now. They were separated in the super 0:46:01.840 --> 0:46:04.400 Bowl there was a thing, and then they're they're back together. 0:46:04.440 --> 0:46:06.680 I think, But I don't know. So I just don't know. 0:46:07.120 --> 0:46:09.600 But I think that if they're together, I'm sure they're happy. 0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:12.520 If they're not, I hope they wish them well. I don't. 0:46:15.280 --> 0:46:20.000 Allegedly they yes, they're back together after having a Super 0:46:20.000 --> 0:46:22.319 Bowl momenta to. 0:46:22.320 --> 0:46:23.560 You, I mean you know, I mean. 0:46:23.520 --> 0:46:29.840 Because instead of watching Usher, we were tweeting another Haitian as. 0:46:29.680 --> 0:46:34.400 Well, not Haitian. He is sure he is not Haitian. 0:46:38.680 --> 0:46:45.680 He's American. His father, Jason Drulo, is Haitian's father is 0:46:45.960 --> 0:46:50.640 what is his name, Edmond? I know the last thing, sitation, 0:46:50.960 --> 0:46:52.799 but I was told I was corrected back in high 0:46:52.800 --> 0:46:54.680 school that he was not Haitian. Sure his name of 0:46:54.800 --> 0:47:02.200 his father, he's a fourth. It's Usher, by the fourth, Edmond, 0:47:05.040 --> 0:47:07.400 your lives when I was okay, So when I was 0:47:07.440 --> 0:47:10.319 growing up in high school or in junior high, it 0:47:10.360 --> 0:47:12.440 was like a bad word to be Haitian, and people 0:47:12.480 --> 0:47:14.879 used to get beat up for being Haitian. The same 0:47:14.880 --> 0:47:17.200 with Jamaicans went through this. Haitian went through this Miami 0:47:17.280 --> 0:47:20.160 in the eighties was like oh my god. But anyway, 0:47:20.200 --> 0:47:21.839 the fact is that so maybe at that time people 0:47:21.880 --> 0:47:23.640 were like, no, he in Haitian. He so for me, 0:47:23.760 --> 0:47:26.200 I thought he was in Haitian. But anyway, Haitian. IM 0:47:26.239 --> 0:47:28.319 proud of it here. Good for you are sure, good 0:47:28.360 --> 0:47:31.920 for you? Love it? No, we love it, we love it, 0:47:32.000 --> 0:47:33.759 we love it. So he needs to claim that a 0:47:33.760 --> 0:47:36.520 little bit more. Let's hear something mixed with you know, 0:47:37.960 --> 0:47:43.960 booty music that would do I mean, you know see 0:47:45.719 --> 0:47:48.560 I mean then the super Bowl performance was like thirty 0:47:48.640 --> 0:47:50.960 nine songs in like two seconds. Yeah. I was like, 0:47:51.719 --> 0:47:55.080 you know, this is my confession. Every three seconds it 0:47:55.160 --> 0:47:56.520 was like a new song. I was like, that's a lot. 0:47:56.560 --> 0:47:58.759 We're doing a lot of Medali this yere. Hey, you 0:47:58.800 --> 0:48:01.200 guys are multi talented. He bought the whole Atlanta on 0:48:01.239 --> 0:48:03.719 stage that I really liked. He didn't forget his path. 0:48:04.160 --> 0:48:06.920 He bought Little Wayne, no, not the way little John, 0:48:07.400 --> 0:48:10.680 Little John and Lula Chris and then Alicia that first key, 0:48:11.480 --> 0:48:14.719 not the first key. But she's queen, she is. And 0:48:14.760 --> 0:48:17.719 we all make mistakes, remember that, so don't judge. There 0:48:17.760 --> 0:48:18.040 we go. 0:48:18.640 --> 0:48:21.600 So, was it a mistake that Michael Jordan doesn't want 0:48:21.640 --> 0:48:24.360 to meet his son's girlfriend, Larsa. 0:48:24.719 --> 0:48:27.080 Say allegedly because I don't know anything about that. 0:48:27.360 --> 0:48:30.000 Well, he's on the video, and he's it's been said 0:48:30.000 --> 0:48:30.879 on the show. 0:48:30.800 --> 0:48:35.640 And and she was on a podcast recently and and. 0:48:35.480 --> 0:48:38.439 It was it was she said it. She's never met him, 0:48:39.200 --> 0:48:42.480 but his mother likes her. 0:48:42.760 --> 0:48:45.960 But she never met him. After her divorce with Pippin 0:48:46.200 --> 0:48:48.799 good things clear, No, like she met him obviously because 0:48:48.800 --> 0:48:52.200 they were in the same team, right they wants championships 0:48:52.200 --> 0:48:57.239 and rings that were amazing the bulls? What is going on, 0:48:57.440 --> 0:49:00.480 mister King? Okay, technically you're right. 0:49:00.560 --> 0:49:05.360 Last did me Michael Jordan when her then husband Scottie Pippen, Yes, 0:49:05.719 --> 0:49:06.600 was playing. 0:49:06.239 --> 0:49:09.040 So you mean while she was with Marcus she was. 0:49:09.120 --> 0:49:11.600 She hasn't met him as the girlfriend title. 0:49:11.920 --> 0:49:17.520 She hasn't been reintroduced to Michael Jordan as his son's girlfriend. Okay, 0:49:17.520 --> 0:49:20.480 but she was introduced to him as his teammate's wife. 0:49:21.000 --> 0:49:27.080 Gotcha, What is the question? What is the question? 0:49:27.280 --> 0:49:30.960 Because you clarified ification, is that a red flag in 0:49:31.040 --> 0:49:33.279 a relationship? If you if you wol and Rousse up 0:49:33.280 --> 0:49:35.560 been and gat for twenty eight years, would it have 0:49:35.680 --> 0:49:38.040 been a red flag if you never met his father? 0:49:38.200 --> 0:49:39.839 Listen, If I was with Russell for twenty eight years 0:49:39.840 --> 0:49:41.839 and I haven't met his parents, then we're good. So 0:49:42.040 --> 0:49:44.120 my point is is that you see what I'm saying. 0:49:44.120 --> 0:49:45.719 It's kind of like we're doing good over here, you're 0:49:45.719 --> 0:49:47.960 doing good over there.

They loved the background and they loved 0:52:28.600 --> 0:52:32.719 you know, supporting their partner but not being in the limelight. 0:52:32.840 --> 0:52:36.160 So was it challenging for you to know. 0:52:36.080 --> 0:52:40.960 That when you appear on a real Housewise franchise your 0:52:41.040 --> 0:52:42.080 life changes forever. 0:52:44.000 --> 0:52:47.440 Obviously it was a big decision, but it's you know, 0:52:47.520 --> 0:52:52.400 we've we've been together for so long that when she 0:52:52.719 --> 0:52:57.359 was approached, I think she mentioned it before. Years prior, 0:52:57.480 --> 0:53:01.520 she had been approached for, you know, insitively for different things, 0:53:01.520 --> 0:53:04.399 and we were like, no to it. I didn't want 0:53:04.400 --> 0:53:05.640 to do it. I don't want to have anything to 0:53:05.640 --> 0:53:10.319 do with that. But you know, I can't hold I 0:53:10.320 --> 0:53:11.600 couldn't hold her back anymore. 0:53:11.680 --> 0:53:14.279 Yeah, and then those other projects were more about like 0:53:14.320 --> 0:53:15.920 that Jeff Flui is set up of like you're going 0:53:16.000 --> 0:53:17.799 to be the planner and we want to see everything behind. 0:53:17.800 --> 0:53:19.960 It was kind of like I have to be responsible 0:53:19.960 --> 0:53:22.880 for six employees being on camera. It was just too 0:53:22.920 --> 0:53:27.880 much at stake. The Housewife, you know, platform is just 0:53:27.920 --> 0:53:29.759 a balance of all of that, you know what I mean. 0:53:29.800 --> 0:53:31.120 So you get a sprinkle to this, and don't sprinkle 0:53:31.160 --> 0:53:33.560 to that, and sprinkle this anything. Ensemble cast so it 0:53:33.640 --> 0:53:36.359 was more I think comfortable for me to start out 0:53:36.760 --> 0:53:38.879 on national TV being kind of like in this kind 0:53:38.880 --> 0:53:41.359 of format. And I had watched it before I knew 0:53:41.400 --> 0:53:44.320 the risk. But I'm like, we don't really have anything 0:53:44.360 --> 0:53:47.839 to hide, Like, so you don't you when you get 0:53:47.840 --> 0:53:49.520 on the show, you better not have skeleton in your 0:53:49.560 --> 0:53:51.080 closet and a lot of people do. And I'm kind 0:53:51.080 --> 0:53:53.640 of like, why are you signing the paperwork? But you know, 0:53:53.719 --> 0:53:56.719 we're we're We're up front and it is what it is. 0:53:58.000 --> 0:54:02.160 I figured, you know, I'm just gonna be a minor role, 0:54:02.200 --> 0:54:02.719 which I am. 0:54:02.800 --> 0:54:04.320 You know, I just stay in the background. 0:54:04.800 --> 0:54:07.840 I'll be good with that, right And and that's that 0:54:08.239 --> 0:54:09.720 was my mentality going in. 0:54:10.160 --> 0:54:13.080 And then you got the finale, right, which we'll get 0:54:13.120 --> 0:54:16.160 to a second two. But prior to that, you guys 0:54:16.280 --> 0:54:19.840 met in high school. So who approached who? 0:54:21.040 --> 0:54:22.560 Do you want me to say it? 0:54:23.960 --> 0:54:27.239 Well, okay, we met in high school, but we met 0:54:27.320 --> 0:54:29.080 we actually met in tenth grade. 0:54:29.600 --> 0:54:32.080 I played basketball, she was.

No like that was. 1:00:40.560 --> 1:00:43.480 I was like, stop, drop the ego. So he has 1:00:43.480 --> 1:00:46.080 this water bottle jug so ugly, and he puts it 1:00:46.200 --> 1:00:48.280 right there next to where he drives. I have my 1:00:48.520 --> 1:00:50.360 juice that he made for me, my co press juice, 1:00:50.400 --> 1:00:53.640 and also another drink that can't fit anywhere else except 1:00:53.680 --> 1:00:56.760 for those two compartments. And he I throw his drug 1:00:56.800 --> 1:00:59.200 in the back. No, no, no, he wants his drug 1:00:59.720 --> 1:01:01.480 right there next to him, and I'm like, but you're 1:01:01.520 --> 1:01:03.240 not drinking it. So we get into this argument. I'm like, 1:01:03.360 --> 1:01:06.760 drop the ego, but it's ego the moment someone's like 1:01:06.800 --> 1:01:08.480 I'm the man, I'm supposed to do this, and people 1:01:08.480 --> 1:01:10.400 start role playing and thinking that you can't do this 1:01:10.480 --> 1:01:12.080 or you shouldn't do that because I'm the man or 1:01:12.080 --> 1:01:15.800 you're the woman. It's not gonna work. Drop the gender 1:01:15.920 --> 1:01:19.600 roles and drop the egos. You will see how much 1:01:19.600 --> 1:01:22.479 smoother life works. If I'm not home and something's gotta 1:01:22.480 --> 1:01:25.360 get cleaned or cooked, He'll be it's not even like 1:01:25.480 --> 1:01:28.200 can you please it? It's done. Those are his children, 1:01:29.360 --> 1:01:32.400 like drop the gender roles, as if like you're too 1:01:32.440 --> 1:01:34.320 good to do this or you're too good to say sorry. 1:01:34.720 --> 1:01:37.840 That is I think the biggest issue in relationships. And 1:01:37.880 --> 1:01:39.240 I think a lot of people who are divorced are 1:01:39.240 --> 1:01:41.840 probably like, damn, I could have worked that out, couldn't I? 1:01:41.960 --> 1:01:44.120 And then you know it's too late so for us. 1:01:44.280 --> 1:01:46.120 And another thing is that we don't use the D 1:01:46.200 --> 1:01:48.720 word ever. Is we never say I'm going to divorce 1:01:48.760 --> 1:01:50.840 you if you don't do this. You never threaten people 1:01:50.920 --> 1:01:52.560 like that, especially if you love them, go ahead. 1:01:53.080 --> 1:01:56.000 Yeah, we I mean from the beginning, we kind of 1:01:56.080 --> 1:01:59.600 knew that, hey, we wanted to be together, and you know, 1:01:59.640 --> 1:02:02.240 we she wanted to do one thing. We wound up 1:02:02.320 --> 1:02:07.479 staying home together and let's see how this this plays out. 1:02:07.640 --> 1:02:11.600 And when we decided, yeah, we're gonna. 1:02:10.960 --> 1:02:13.560 Make this official, get married, start a. 1:02:13.560 --> 1:02:16.080 Life together, we already knew. We already knew all these things. 1:02:16.720 --> 1:02:20.280 So it's never like we argue with each other and 1:02:20.280 --> 1:02:23.280 we're like, oh, I'm gonna leave you. That's never never 1:02:23.320 --> 1:02:24.440 even comes into the picture. 1:02:24.760 --> 1:02:27.640 It was always like, we're together forever, So now now 1:02:27.680 --> 1:02:29.280 what how do we navigate? 1:02:29.520 --> 1:02:31.800 So, like she said, egos are a big thing. 1:02:32.480 --> 1:02:39.520 Obviously everyone has disagreements, but you have to put your 1:02:39.560 --> 1:02:41.640 ego aside and you have to come to a compromise. 1:02:41.720 --> 1:02:45.760 I mean at the beginning of our marriage, you know, 1:02:45.840 --> 1:02:50.080 we start living together all the time, Oh you need to. 1:02:50.000 --> 1:02:52.440 Clean this, or you should clean that, or you need. 1:02:52.320 --> 1:02:54.080 To do this, or you need you're not doing enough 1:02:54.080 --> 1:02:54.720 of this or whatever. 1:02:54.800 --> 1:02:58.600 Like at some point someone's got to say, you know what, hey, okay, yeah, 1:02:58.640 --> 1:02:59.000 I'll do. 1:02:59.040 --> 1:03:02.600 This and want to do that. And that's actually what 1:03:03.400 --> 1:03:06.880 is sexier than ever. It's it's kind of like, damn, 1:03:07.040 --> 1:03:10.720 he's a take control type of man. I come home, like, 1:03:10.920 --> 1:03:12.720 you don't understand how much I was traveling for work. 1:03:12.760 --> 1:03:14.360 I was in Portugal one minute, then I'm in the 1:03:14.360 --> 1:03:16.520 cop or the next minute, like I can't keep the 1:03:16.760 --> 1:03:18.280 do this for the kids, and do you know do 1:03:18.360 --> 1:03:19.960 that for the kids. And so I'll come home and 1:03:20.000 --> 1:03:21.960 he's like, that's taking care of I got I got this, 1:03:22.040 --> 1:03:24.280 I got you, I got this. And that became such 1:03:24.280 --> 1:03:27.840 a thing of like, damn, he's really invested in us, 1:03:27.880 --> 1:03:30.280 in me, in himself. It's self proud at the end 1:03:30.280 --> 1:03:31.800 of the day to know that your family is good 1:03:31.880 --> 1:03:34.160 like that, you know. So, I think when people reshift 1:03:34.440 --> 1:03:38.200 their train of thought and how they see themselves. It's 1:03:38.040 --> 1:03:40.360 a it's amazing with the growth that they can do 1:03:40.480 --> 1:03:42.680 within themselves as well, because I look at him now 1:03:42.720 --> 1:03:45.919 and I'm like, it's weird, but it's like it gets better. 1:03:46.000 --> 1:03:48.640 I'm like, damn, Like he's such a growing to this 1:03:48.760 --> 1:03:51.960 man that I never even imagine I needed. 1:03:52.400 --> 1:03:54.800 And that that's all the that's all the you know, 1:03:54.960 --> 1:03:58.720 secondary stuff. Of course, you got to like this person. 1:03:58.720 --> 1:04:00.440 You gotta be friends with this person. You have to 1:04:00.480 --> 1:04:02.680 love this person. I mean, you have to be attracted 1:04:02.680 --> 1:04:05.960 to this person, and then all that other stuff you 1:04:06.000 --> 1:04:08.120 figure out. You have to be willing to figure out. 1:04:08.360 --> 1:04:11.840 Yeah, you go ahead, I'm sorry, Yeah no. 1:04:11.920 --> 1:04:13.440 But the one thing that I do love about you 1:04:13.560 --> 1:04:15.600 is the fact that, as we talk about general roles, 1:04:16.000 --> 1:04:22.919 obviously there isn't unfortunately a lot of husbands who who 1:04:23.560 --> 1:04:26.840 are like I don't mind taking care of the kids, cooking, sometimes, 1:04:26.880 --> 1:04:29.320 cleaning some times, pick them up from school. You are 1:04:29.360 --> 1:04:34.919 a very active father, like extremely active, and your active husband. 1:04:36.720 --> 1:04:37.640 Do you believe that. 1:04:37.560 --> 1:04:41.080 In some marriages, like Gertie is saying, is that is 1:04:41.080 --> 1:04:45.360 a toxic masculinity, this sort of machoism are some of 1:04:45.400 --> 1:04:48.760 the reasons why you know, these relationships don't work because 1:04:48.960 --> 1:04:51.840 did you ever fall into that mindset of like. 1:04:51.880 --> 1:04:53.480 Well, you know, why am I doing this? 1:04:53.600 --> 1:04:55.600 Or did you were you always like I love her 1:04:55.760 --> 1:04:57.160 and this is what's best for the family. 1:04:57.400 --> 1:04:59.080 Like I said, you figure things out. 1:04:59.200 --> 1:05:04.440 Yes, Like I can't say specifically what was what, but yes, 1:05:05.440 --> 1:05:07.960 at some points I did have that mentality like why 1:05:08.200 --> 1:05:09.160 do you want me to do this? 1:05:09.400 --> 1:05:12.240 You know it's not my job, but as. 1:05:12.240 --> 1:05:16.200 You know, I don't want this stupid little thing to 1:05:16.240 --> 1:05:18.680 cause us to fracture in a way that we're not 1:05:18.720 --> 1:05:20.360 going to be together because I want to be with her, 1:05:20.400 --> 1:05:23.160 you know, So you have to make that decision. Is 1:05:23.640 --> 1:05:27.640 this stupid little thing, you know, worth it to fight 1:05:27.680 --> 1:05:29.320 with this person all the time. 1:05:29.640 --> 1:05:32.040 And we're lucky that we have parents that are still married. 1:05:32.080 --> 1:05:34.880 His fat father and mother I have been married now 1:05:34.920 --> 1:05:37.200 fifty years. We just celebrated them this week. My parents 1:05:37.280 --> 1:05:40.080 are over fifty, you know, so we have good role models. 1:05:40.080 --> 1:05:42.360 And his father is in the kitchen cooking, his mom 1:05:42.360 --> 1:05:44.840 will be cleaning, and they you know, vice versa my parents. 1:05:44.960 --> 1:05:47.040 My father does a cooking and the cleaning. My mother 1:05:47.240 --> 1:05:50.480 is not that type. Very fashionable though, but you know, 1:05:50.680 --> 1:05:53.800 everyone finds their niche in the household. You know, It's 1:05:53.800 --> 1:05:56.280 so funny because look, when I was traveling and doing 1:05:56.320 --> 1:05:58.640 all these events, he was holding it down. Now I'm 1:05:58.680 --> 1:06:01.040 home a lot more because I've chosen to be more 1:06:01.040 --> 1:06:03.280 present from my family and so forth. So now I'm like, 1:06:03.360 --> 1:06:04.480 what do you want for dinner? But do you want 1:06:04.480 --> 1:06:07.320 to It's I'm back to where, you know, the housewife role. 1:06:07.440 --> 1:06:10.840 So it all works out. But once you drop the 1:06:10.840 --> 1:06:13.680 ego and just are a team player, because you know, 1:06:13.720 --> 1:06:16.600 you want to sleep good at night, wake up in 1:06:16.600 --> 1:06:19.560 the morning good, you know, like happy wife, happy life, 1:06:19.640 --> 1:06:22.160 for real, for real. You know, we are the matriarch, 1:06:22.200 --> 1:06:24.520 and we are you know, the stability of a household 1:06:24.560 --> 1:06:26.919 in many ways. And and for us to get that 1:06:27.120 --> 1:06:29.120 right hand, that says I got you. What do you need? 1:06:29.120 --> 1:06:31.280 The whole thing? It just helps support that system and 1:06:31.320 --> 1:06:33.440 it creates a better, stronger together. 1:06:33.920 --> 1:06:36.320 So no, and we saw that because obviously, I mean, 1:06:36.360 --> 1:06:41.920 listen for you to showcase of the world your breast 1:06:42.000 --> 1:06:52.240 cancer diagnosis and to to see the the fear that 1:06:52.320 --> 1:06:54.840 you had on your face in the earlier part of 1:06:54.840 --> 1:06:56.440 the season when. 1:06:56.320 --> 1:06:58.280 You got the news. 1:06:58.640 --> 1:07:05.520 Right, yes, talk to me about the moment that you 1:07:05.640 --> 1:07:09.560 heard the news and the thought process and having to 1:07:09.600 --> 1:07:10.360 tell your husband. 1:07:11.400 --> 1:07:13.360 He was there with me for the whole part. I 1:07:13.360 --> 1:07:15.360 wouldn't even have a phone call without him. So when 1:07:15.480 --> 1:07:18.080 my doctor called me, my college just called me. I 1:07:18.120 --> 1:07:19.720 was in Sant Bart's and that was when he was 1:07:19.720 --> 1:07:22.280 about to tell me that I had the first There 1:07:22.280 --> 1:07:24.000 were two types of cancers that I had, by the way, 1:07:24.120 --> 1:07:27.400 so there was the first one. I'm like, stop, I 1:07:27.440 --> 1:07:30.880 need to merge Rustle. Nothing happens before you got the news. 1:07:30.920 --> 1:07:34.120 You want to wow. Of course she was absolutely. 1:07:34.280 --> 1:07:38.640 She went in for her mammogram and then you know, 1:07:38.720 --> 1:07:43.080 which she does regularly, but this time they asked her 1:07:43.080 --> 1:07:46.200 to come back. So I remember during that phase, I 1:07:46.280 --> 1:07:50.080 was bringing her and in my mind, I'm like, this 1:07:50.160 --> 1:07:50.600 is weird. 1:07:50.680 --> 1:07:53.000 You know, we're going back multiple times. 1:07:53.080 --> 1:07:54.200 He never thinks. 1:07:54.240 --> 1:07:56.960 But then I'm like, you know, everything fine, There's going 1:07:57.000 --> 1:07:58.480 to be nothing, just like it always is. 1:07:59.360 --> 1:08:01.160 So then she was out of town. 1:08:02.400 --> 1:08:04.520 And she calls me and I could hear it in 1:08:04.560 --> 1:08:07.840 her voice something was wrong, and she's like, oh uh, 1:08:07.920 --> 1:08:10.680 you know here doctors such and such as on the 1:08:10.720 --> 1:08:14.520 line emerging, And so I knew right away what it was. 1:08:15.280 --> 1:08:16.800 But we didn't know how about you know, like you 1:08:16.880 --> 1:08:18.519 just got worse and worse and worse and worse and worse. 1:08:18.600 --> 1:08:22.360 But he was there every step of the way. It's 1:08:22.560 --> 1:08:24.519 like he didn't go to work for a month, like 1:08:24.800 --> 1:08:29.720 literally like every over a month. It was just unbelievable. 1:08:30.400 --> 1:08:33.360 Yeah, So, I mean many people go. 1:08:33.439 --> 1:08:34.960 And he hates to take the credit, he says, which 1:08:35.040 --> 1:08:37.400 is true. Like you say, everyone goes through it and 1:08:37.520 --> 1:08:38.160 all over the world. 1:08:38.200 --> 1:08:41.240 You know that's true. So you just you got to 1:08:41.320 --> 1:08:42.160 keep moving forward. 1:08:42.640 --> 1:08:44.640 Like he doesn't like this title of like he's the 1:08:44.680 --> 1:08:47.800 best husband in the world because everybody's doing it. If 1:08:47.840 --> 1:08:49.559 my mother I'm not even going to say the words, 1:08:49.560 --> 1:08:52.519 but like my father would step in his We see 1:08:52.560 --> 1:08:54.280 this every day. So he hates the fact that it's 1:08:54.360 --> 1:08:54.720 kind of like this. 1:08:54.840 --> 1:08:56.880 But I disagree with that, and I'm going to say 1:08:56.880 --> 1:09:00.000 this and this is no disrespect. We unfortunately don't see 1:09:00.040 --> 1:09:03.519 it every day, and we unfortunately, you know, don't see 1:09:03.560 --> 1:09:08.040 a lot of husbands, yes, drop what they're doing and 1:09:08.600 --> 1:09:13.920 to be there for their wife. So listen, I I 1:09:15.240 --> 1:09:18.320 love that you feel like I'm a husband and this 1:09:18.360 --> 1:09:22.320 is what I'm supposed to do. Unfortunately, there are tons 1:09:22.320 --> 1:09:28.960 of wives who have husbands that don't do the necessary parts. 1:09:29.000 --> 1:09:31.400 And the reason why we appreciate you and all the 1:09:31.479 --> 1:09:33.240 husbands in the world who have who have done what 1:09:33.240 --> 1:09:36.400 you're doing is because we even don't even see this 1:09:36.479 --> 1:09:39.160 a lot on reality television. On my show Love and 1:09:39.200 --> 1:09:41.000 Matter tians Bill Kimmy. 1:09:41.040 --> 1:09:45.400 Oh Kimmy, Yes, honestly, she was first. I gotta tell you, 1:09:45.400 --> 1:09:47.160 I got to the pops. I have to because I 1:09:47.200 --> 1:09:49.040 remember I think I may have called you in the room. 1:09:49.080 --> 1:09:52.200 I watched it and I was like, who could I 1:09:52.240 --> 1:09:55.479 ever do that? Like, and then look what happened to me? 1:09:55.560 --> 1:09:57.559 And I was like, she can do it. I can 1:09:57.600 --> 1:10:00.000 do it. And I'm telling you right now it was 1:10:00.040 --> 1:10:02.400 because I kiddy, I'm getting oh my god, I even 1:10:02.439 --> 1:10:05.000 reached out to you or her and even her I 1:10:05.040 --> 1:10:07.280 can't remember how it was like wow, PTSD like right 1:10:07.280 --> 1:10:09.840 now because I hate going back there, right, but I 1:10:09.880 --> 1:10:12.000 remember seeing the scene. You were the first one to 1:10:12.080 --> 1:10:15.360 do it, and then I was like could I ever even? Wow? 1:10:15.400 --> 1:10:16.280 How did she do? 1:10:16.479 --> 1:10:16.960 How could she? 1:10:17.520 --> 1:10:19.120 And then all of a sudden it was my turn, 1:10:19.200 --> 1:10:22.360 and I'm like, we're doing this damn thing. We're gonna 1:10:22.360 --> 1:10:25.559 freaking do it, and production. Thank you to people like 1:10:25.640 --> 1:10:27.519 you that stayed in the back. You gave the respect 1:10:27.680 --> 1:10:30.599 you weren't in It was kind of like, just let 1:10:30.640 --> 1:10:32.479 it play and act as if you were not in 1:10:32.479 --> 1:10:34.639 the room. And that was the courage that I got 1:10:34.880 --> 1:10:37.000 to be able to just continue with that scene. I 1:10:37.080 --> 1:10:38.720 was breaking. I was like I wanted to move, and 1:10:38.760 --> 1:10:40.080 then I look back, I'm looking at the hair and 1:10:40.080 --> 1:10:42.800 I'm like, okay, just stick it out. Stick it out. 1:10:42.800 --> 1:10:45.840 This feels safe. All we need is a safe, safe space. 1:10:46.400 --> 1:10:48.479 All we need is to save space and people some 1:10:48.520 --> 1:10:51.400 people don't understand that. So when we talk about sharing 1:10:51.439 --> 1:10:55.040 it with the world, and because you don't see it enough, 1:10:55.640 --> 1:10:58.120 it is happening. But the problem is that some people 1:10:58.560 --> 1:11:00.680 make it seem like it's the play that we have 1:11:01.120 --> 1:11:04.559 and shame people that have cancer and you look weird. 1:11:04.560 --> 1:11:06.200 Why did you shake your head? Oh why don't you 1:11:06.200 --> 1:11:08.679 put a wig on? Because I have hot flashes every 1:11:08.680 --> 1:11:13.519 twenty seconds. That's why I have a sorry, that's why 1:11:13.600 --> 1:11:16.000 I have a fan on me. But people don't see 1:11:16.040 --> 1:11:19.320 the little things. Oh why don't you cover your scar? No, honey, 1:11:19.320 --> 1:11:23.439 this is a battle scar. That's my pride. People ask 1:11:23.479 --> 1:11:26.240 this dumb questions without thinking like this maybe a reason 1:11:26.320 --> 1:11:29.160 let me let her give her a safe space. And 1:11:29.280 --> 1:11:32.160 that's really big, and that's the reason why you don't 1:11:32.160 --> 1:11:32.920 see it often. 1:11:33.720 --> 1:11:36.840 No, it is big, and and thank you for sharing 1:11:36.880 --> 1:11:40.920 that too, because it just it takes you to a 1:11:41.000 --> 1:11:44.280 place that you, just like you said, you don't think 1:11:44.400 --> 1:11:47.160 is going to happen to you. And not only do 1:11:47.200 --> 1:11:49.519 you not think it's going to happen to you, not 1:11:49.720 --> 1:11:52.120 while I'm filming a reality shop. 1:11:52.120 --> 1:11:54.839 We found out a week before.

We'll see what happened to bring I was 1:13:02.360 --> 1:13:07.480 so shocked at the level of insensitivity that she displayed 1:13:07.840 --> 1:13:11.840 during that conversation, knowing that you are going through this 1:13:11.960 --> 1:13:18.639 battle the camera campaigning to Russell watching you, protecting you 1:13:18.720 --> 1:13:22.559 from a distance, and then finally saying enough is enough. 1:13:22.600 --> 1:13:25.719 So Russell talk to us about being in that moment 1:13:26.160 --> 1:13:28.360 and what you were seeing that led you to be like, 1:13:28.680 --> 1:13:29.799 this ship has to stop. 1:13:32.320 --> 1:13:34.800 I didn't know what they were talking about, so I 1:13:34.880 --> 1:13:38.840 was I was a distance away talking to someone else, 1:13:38.960 --> 1:13:42.280 having a conversation, and then I heard things piping up, 1:13:42.479 --> 1:13:45.600 getting louder, getting louder. So that's when I, you know, 1:13:45.760 --> 1:13:49.920 started focusing in see what was going on, and you know, 1:13:50.040 --> 1:13:54.799 the women, they get into arguments often. 1:13:54.840 --> 1:13:55.480 I guess. 1:13:59.000 --> 1:14:01.880 When I saw her, you know, take her hat off, 1:14:03.520 --> 1:14:05.599 and then I heard a couple of things that I. 1:14:05.560 --> 1:14:07.360 Thought were, you know, over the top. 1:14:08.320 --> 1:14:11.759 So I went over there with the My only intention 1:14:11.840 --> 1:14:14.320 of going over there was to get Gerty away. 1:14:14.479 --> 1:14:16.400 Once we've come off, he's like, well, what's going on 1:14:16.439 --> 1:14:16.960 over I. 1:14:16.880 --> 1:14:19.120 Didn't say anything to anyone else. I was talking to Gerty. 1:14:19.160 --> 1:14:22.160 I said, what are you doing, Let's get get out 1:14:22.160 --> 1:14:25.160 of here, and she got up, We're going away, And 1:14:25.160 --> 1:14:31.439 then a certain individual kept pursuing. That's the only reason 1:14:31.439 --> 1:14:36.080 why I said what I said to that individual, and 1:14:36.640 --> 1:14:38.720 I wouldn't have said anything else to her, but she 1:14:38.880 --> 1:14:42.200 kept talking to Gerty and she even was talking to me. 1:14:42.720 --> 1:14:45.840 So I tried to, you know, keep my composure and 1:14:45.880 --> 1:14:47.519 just get Gerty out of there. And that was it. 1:14:48.120 --> 1:14:49.000 That's all that happened. 1:14:49.439 --> 1:14:51.640 Yeah, we're not those people. We don't like mess. We 1:14:51.680 --> 1:14:54.280 don't like mess, you know. But you know, obviously remove 1:14:54.320 --> 1:14:56.240 yourself in the situation if you have to.

He wasn't 1:17:20.600 --> 1:17:24.360 like back and forth trying to elevate. He literally removed me, 1:17:24.400 --> 1:17:27.160 and he says, just be respectful, like just consider the 1:17:27.200 --> 1:17:31.839 situation timing like queuing captain, and that was it. Everyone's 1:17:31.880 --> 1:17:33.680 praising him for the way he handled it is what 1:17:33.680 --> 1:17:34.080 I've seen. 1:17:34.600 --> 1:17:38.120 I didn't feel good, you know, doing that. I didn't 1:17:38.439 --> 1:17:42.120 feel good afterwards doing that. Yeah, oh you didn't because 1:17:42.120 --> 1:17:46.719 I don't. I shouldn't have to. You shouldn't talk to anyone, 1:17:47.080 --> 1:17:49.360 you know, a woman that way. You know. 1:17:50.479 --> 1:17:52.960 I don't know how I was put in that situation 1:17:53.160 --> 1:17:55.560 like that person should have seen it. 1:17:55.640 --> 1:17:57.000 I was already taking. 1:17:57.720 --> 1:18:01.680 Gerty away, yeah, and it was over usually that That's. 1:18:01.320 --> 1:18:04.200 How I felt. It was like why yeah, So that's 1:18:04.200 --> 1:18:05.360 why I kept it as it was. 1:18:05.400 --> 1:18:08.800 I wasn't gonna do anything or you know, say anything derogatory. 1:18:08.840 --> 1:18:11.360 That's not no, no, I just wanted to get Girty away, 1:18:11.560 --> 1:18:12.360 yeah yeah. 1:18:12.400 --> 1:18:16.240 And I even even even with that, you know, that's 1:18:16.280 --> 1:18:16.720 all I did. 1:18:16.840 --> 1:18:18.960 I still, you know, because he's not that guy. He's 1:18:19.160 --> 1:18:21.599 literally you know, this is not where this is not 1:18:21.600 --> 1:18:23.960 not who we are. So I just I was glad 1:18:24.000 --> 1:18:25.599 that he was just what he was and that's it. 1:18:25.640 --> 1:18:28.559 And but people have praised the way he tried to 1:18:28.680 --> 1:18:33.360 obviously just you know, protect me. So yeah, protect that's it, 1:18:33.479 --> 1:18:34.880 you know, and yeah, that's it. 1:18:35.040 --> 1:18:38.920 Yeah, no iron people who felt that like and again 1:18:38.920 --> 1:18:44.880 I worked on shelves where sometimes the men insert themselves unprovoked. 1:18:44.400 --> 1:18:46.160 And I felt like you were defending your wife. 1:18:46.200 --> 1:18:48.400 And I was happy, even docorn Cole saying, that's my 1:18:48.400 --> 1:18:52.439 best friend, Gerdi. These five minutes leave her alone. 1:18:52.600 --> 1:18:54.800 So I do appreciate that around me. 1:18:55.080 --> 1:18:58.200 And look, the most beautiful moment of this whole season 1:18:59.000 --> 1:19:04.679 was the shaving of the head and seeing Russell how 1:19:04.960 --> 1:19:08.880 you were there for her even in that sense, and 1:19:08.920 --> 1:19:11.439 that's listen. I know you don't like compliments, and I 1:19:11.479 --> 1:19:16.800 respect it, but again, yeah, it's it goes to show 1:19:16.840 --> 1:19:19.400 you the the love that you have for your best 1:19:19.479 --> 1:19:23.400 friend who also is your wife and the mother of 1:19:23.439 --> 1:19:27.439 your children. And to see the moment of you cutting 1:19:27.439 --> 1:19:32.000 the braids and then shaving it off, were you were 1:19:32.040 --> 1:19:37.400 you nervous like going into into that moment knowing that 1:19:37.640 --> 1:19:39.599 this was going to be captured because it's. 1:19:39.439 --> 1:19:41.679 Such listen all the respect. 1:19:41.840 --> 1:19:43.800 You didn't have to show that to us because it's 1:19:43.800 --> 1:19:44.719 such an intimate moment. 1:19:44.800 --> 1:19:51.880 I know, was I nervous. I wasn't nervous. I just wanted, 1:19:52.040 --> 1:19:54.960 you know, throughout everything. I just wanted to make things 1:19:55.000 --> 1:19:58.120 for her easier, you know, and make her, you know, 1:19:58.479 --> 1:20:01.960 as comfortable as possible throughout everything. 1:20:02.960 --> 1:20:05.880 So if she, you know, she won. 1:20:06.040 --> 1:20:09.919 She made the decision, you know, with with my advice 1:20:10.040 --> 1:20:12.720 and with others advice, that she should cut her hair 1:20:12.760 --> 1:20:15.480 before starting the chemo, because. 1:20:15.479 --> 1:20:17.280 That was actually I really wanted to do that. That 1:20:17.360 --> 1:20:19.200 was very wary for me to have control. 1:20:19.400 --> 1:20:21.360 Yeah, she didn't want to have to see her hair 1:20:21.479 --> 1:20:23.800 falling out a way and go through that process. 1:20:24.240 --> 1:20:26.559 Just let's just shave it and then you don't have 1:20:26.600 --> 1:20:27.200 to deal with that. 1:20:27.560 --> 1:20:29.799 Eighty percent of people shave their head before chemo actually, 1:20:30.800 --> 1:20:33.120 so for those reasons, right, of course, it's about control, 1:20:33.200 --> 1:20:35.280 like and me being a control freak. I'm a party 1:20:35.280 --> 1:20:37.240 planner and I'm the top party planner of the world, 1:20:37.320 --> 1:20:39.680 and I'm sitting here like, damn, I'm being told when 1:20:39.720 --> 1:20:41.840 to go to this, when to do this blood work. 1:20:42.160 --> 1:20:43.960 All I just go in and out of consciousness is 1:20:43.960 --> 1:20:45.720 what I like to call it in doctor's deportments and 1:20:45.760 --> 1:20:47.960 lay down and do this and you know, take this pill. 1:20:48.160 --> 1:20:50.439 And I'm like, I can't. I'm in a box. They 1:20:50.479 --> 1:20:52.280 put me in a box. And this whole I thought 1:20:52.360 --> 1:20:54.519 for myself to be out of the box when I 1:20:54.520 --> 1:20:56.479 came to this country, and now I'm being put back 1:20:56.479 --> 1:20:59.960 into a box. I'm like, no, I'm gonna me, pick me, 1:21:00.120 --> 1:21:02.280 pick me, pick me. I'm gonna cut my hair. I'll 1:21:02.320 --> 1:21:05.280 do that one. So it was about controlling something in 1:21:05.320 --> 1:21:09.040 this whole narrative. Look at you now, look at me now, 1:21:09.080 --> 1:21:12.639 cancer free, cancer free. I just did my sixth month. 1:21:13.320 --> 1:21:15.960 I did my six month memmo grandma to sound and 1:21:15.560 --> 1:21:18.360 that was also a lump in my throat. So every 1:21:18.360 --> 1:21:21.160 sixth month. But people again don't understand, is that it's 1:21:21.160 --> 1:21:23.840 not like, oh, life is amazing. Life is amazing, and 1:21:23.880 --> 1:21:25.800 you won't leave it out loud. But every sixth month 1:21:25.960 --> 1:21:29.679 is a test of time that says knock knock, okay, 1:21:29.680 --> 1:21:32.439 nobody's there. Cancer is not there. So it's every six 1:21:32.520 --> 1:21:34.840 month that I have to hold my breath. You know, 1:21:34.880 --> 1:21:37.439 I'm on hormone therapy. I get shots every month, I 1:21:37.520 --> 1:21:41.639 take pills every day having a hysterectomy in a couple 1:21:41.640 --> 1:21:44.640 of days, in two days, you know, so it's not 1:21:44.800 --> 1:21:47.400 never over. I have my scars to prove everything that 1:21:47.439 --> 1:21:50.160 I do. It's like, oh, yeah, I have cancer. Yeah 1:21:50.240 --> 1:21:50.960 I forgot about that. 1:21:51.000 --> 1:21:51.080 You know. 1:21:51.120 --> 1:21:53.560 It's always a reminder. So it's never over. But I 1:21:53.560 --> 1:21:55.400 don't victimize myself in that way at all, because I 1:21:55.400 --> 1:21:58.120 feel like it's like I'm standing here and I'm rocking 1:21:58.160 --> 1:22:01.040 this ball head and people are asking me, am I 1:22:01.120 --> 1:22:03.360 keeping it or not? At the reunion, I answered that question. 1:22:03.640 --> 1:22:05.080 Okay, that'd be one of my questions. 1:22:05.080 --> 1:22:11.040 So the reunion, I answered that question, and yeah, it's 1:22:11.120 --> 1:22:13.880 it's a girty two point zero and it's amazing. It's 1:22:14.000 --> 1:22:16.920 really amazing. I never thought it would be who I 1:22:16.960 --> 1:22:21.440 am today, what I am today, and it's just an evolution. 1:22:21.760 --> 1:22:22.760 It's no. 1:22:22.880 --> 1:22:25.760 I have to say this about you at the end 1:22:25.760 --> 1:22:30.760 of the day, as a huge fan of yours, when 1:22:30.760 --> 1:22:33.799 I watched your first season and you were this spit 1:22:34.720 --> 1:22:39.640 fire firecracker who just like who owned the room and 1:22:39.720 --> 1:22:43.360 has so much confidence, it makes me so damn happy 1:22:43.560 --> 1:22:47.439 to see your confidence. Did o waiver you came into 1:22:47.479 --> 1:22:49.559 this room being girty? 1:22:49.880 --> 1:22:52.959 Oh no, no, one puts in the corner. 1:22:52.800 --> 1:22:56.760 Hoey because answer and again this is basically you know, 1:22:56.960 --> 1:22:58.920 you know my mom had breast cancer, she passed away 1:22:58.960 --> 1:23:02.240 because she decided to do her situation differently, and then 1:23:02.320 --> 1:23:05.040 seeing Kimmy have cancer, so I know that it can 1:23:05.040 --> 1:23:07.559 make you tire and exhausted and all those things. But 1:23:07.720 --> 1:23:11.559 I have to say to you, miss Thing, you did 1:23:11.560 --> 1:23:14.800 not skip a beat. You are so damn beautiful. You 1:23:14.840 --> 1:23:20.479 are rocking the shaved head. I listen me personally, keep 1:23:20.520 --> 1:23:24.960 it that way. You look so good. And you did 1:23:25.000 --> 1:23:29.599 not allow this to taint your personality. And one thing 1:23:29.640 --> 1:23:32.480 I know for sure being this health not that I am. 1:23:32.960 --> 1:23:37.400 Your happiness is also a healing factor. 1:23:37.800 --> 1:23:41.880 In all of this release, but no longer in every 1:23:41.920 --> 1:23:45.240 way one hundred percent is true. Yeah, and surround yourself. 1:23:45.280 --> 1:23:47.519 You know your vibe. This is a tribe. Tribe is 1:23:47.560 --> 1:23:50.360 your vibe? Baby, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And I'm doing your 1:23:50.400 --> 1:23:52.120 day by day. I'm trying to be selfish. I mean 1:23:52.240 --> 1:23:55.799 that's the rule. First thing that Martina who had cancer twice, 1:23:57.000 --> 1:23:59.560 Julia's wife on the show, she said, you gotta be 1:23:59.600 --> 1:24:01.600 selfish when you want to be alone, just say so, 1:24:01.600 --> 1:24:03.920 I want to be alone, like don't don't just stop 1:24:03.960 --> 1:24:07.640 wasting time being graceful and do just cut it, you know. 1:24:07.680 --> 1:24:10.040 So that's why that's and I am that person. It's 1:24:10.080 --> 1:24:13.040 just that I with my job, I'm a nurturer. So 1:24:13.200 --> 1:24:16.120 it's a balance of like bitch, gurty nice curty bitch. 1:24:16.240 --> 1:24:18.439 So you're gonna so I snap sometimes and then I'll 1:24:18.439 --> 1:24:20.719 be like graceful and then you know, So it's interesting. 1:24:20.760 --> 1:24:23.240 So you never know what you're gonna get. Well, what 1:24:23.320 --> 1:24:24.680 are we going to get next from the two of you? 1:24:24.760 --> 1:24:28.880 Is any anything that you guys have going on businesses 1:24:29.360 --> 1:24:30.080 anything else? 1:24:30.280 --> 1:24:36.080 Yes, so you are featuring. This is definitely my new 1:24:36.160 --> 1:24:40.559 amazing project. And this is like a life change because 1:24:41.160 --> 1:24:43.760 with cancer and it's some mutation. So my type of 1:24:43.760 --> 1:24:45.920 cancer is not genetic, it's a mutation. So I'm like, 1:24:45.920 --> 1:24:48.679 I'm looking at my sisters. They're all healthy, they're all natural. 1:24:49.200 --> 1:24:50.960 And I was like perming my hair and doing all 1:24:50.960 --> 1:24:52.479 this stuff, and then look what happened to me. So 1:24:52.640 --> 1:24:54.960 I'm looking at the preventive ways in which I want 1:24:55.000 --> 1:24:57.280 to live my life moving forward. And so I said, 1:24:57.320 --> 1:24:59.599 it's gotta be from the inside out. So the first 1:24:59.600 --> 1:25:01.200 thing I said myself is what am I doing to 1:25:01.240 --> 1:25:04.599 my hair, So you know, I started evaluating that. And 1:25:04.640 --> 1:25:06.640 also then I said, what am I drinking? What is 1:25:06.680 --> 1:25:08.880 it that I can do? That's something that is a 1:25:08.960 --> 1:25:11.880 huge impact. And we're made up of water pretty much. 1:25:11.960 --> 1:25:14.280 And I started looking into the water, and if I 1:25:14.360 --> 1:25:17.160 tell you the findings I found. So I started digging, 1:25:17.200 --> 1:25:20.360 digging deeper, and we partnered up with a company and 1:25:20.439 --> 1:25:23.679 we have a sharehold with a company called Miami Alkaline Water. 1:25:24.200 --> 1:25:26.439 And this is the water. Not only do we have 1:25:26.479 --> 1:25:30.280 alkaline water, we got CBD water, and we have hydrogen 1:25:30.360 --> 1:25:33.479 alkaline water, which is the top of the world level 1:25:33.800 --> 1:25:37.400 of water. So we are not playing games and it 1:25:37.520 --> 1:25:40.080 is a game changer. The first thing that happened to 1:25:40.120 --> 1:25:41.600 me when I had chemo was that we're like, you 1:25:41.640 --> 1:25:44.120 need to drink alkaline water. I started researching that and 1:25:44.160 --> 1:25:46.240 then when I found hydrogen acaline water, I was like, 1:25:46.800 --> 1:25:50.280 we're taking it to the next level. So literally your 1:25:50.320 --> 1:25:53.840 house system, the water system in your house, fully making 1:25:53.920 --> 1:25:57.280 that what I like to call kosher, which we are also, 1:25:57.400 --> 1:25:58.880 by the way, the water's culturecause you got to put 1:25:58.880 --> 1:26:01.760 the minimals back in the in the at the anti occidents, 1:26:01.960 --> 1:26:05.200 so we are literally in the purest water environment ever, 1:26:05.520 --> 1:26:08.679 and that starts with inside and to me, people ask 1:26:08.760 --> 1:26:11.040 how I'm lowing, people asking why I'm so healthy and 1:26:11.080 --> 1:26:15.519 bubbling because it's in the water. No, do your research. 1:26:15.760 --> 1:26:16.400 Do your research. 1:26:16.400 --> 1:26:18.640 So not to cut you off, I'm vegan. I've been 1:26:18.720 --> 1:26:19.759 vegan for seven years. 1:26:20.200 --> 1:26:25.120 So no, listen, I would be shipping a list. Shoot 1:26:25.120 --> 1:26:28.760 me a box please, types of water, honey. 1:26:28.880 --> 1:26:31.639 No, so I've been vegan for seven years. Yes, because 1:26:31.720 --> 1:26:34.080 I take my health very seriously. And again, I could 1:26:34.120 --> 1:26:36.680 do a whole episode about that because the whole like 1:26:36.760 --> 1:26:40.400 meat and water is definitely a big component fill to 1:26:40.520 --> 1:26:43.439 the water. But people don't know about alkaline water, natural 1:26:43.439 --> 1:26:48.240 spring water and alto the importance of hydrogen hydrogen. And 1:26:48.280 --> 1:26:53.000 so I started Russell for I think the past four 1:26:53.200 --> 1:26:57.320 months yep, only drinking hydrogen water. And I have a 1:26:57.479 --> 1:27:01.280 hydrogen water bottle that infuses is hydrogen inside of my 1:27:01.400 --> 1:27:03.960 alkaline water because I only drink alkaline water. 1:27:04.000 --> 1:27:05.799 I'm drinking that for seven years. 1:27:05.920 --> 1:27:06.320 Wow. 1:27:06.880 --> 1:27:09.120 And so it's in the skin, honey, look well, thank you, 1:27:09.200 --> 1:27:11.280 thank you, thank you amazing skin. 1:27:11.439 --> 1:27:14.680 So I'm telling you, and one thing about me, I don't. 1:27:14.479 --> 1:27:20.200 Like to perpetuate my my health right on others because 1:27:20.280 --> 1:27:23.040 you know, but so the only thing I will say 1:27:23.080 --> 1:27:23.559 to you. 1:27:23.800 --> 1:27:29.120 For sure you are correct. Everything we eat, everything we 1:27:29.200 --> 1:27:32.439 cook with. There's water everywhere. And what do one in 1:27:32.479 --> 1:27:36.360 three people have cancer? One in three? If I show 1:27:36.400 --> 1:27:38.720 you this website and you put your zip code in 1:27:38.920 --> 1:27:43.559 and you'll see how many arsenic contaminants. I mean, our 1:27:43.600 --> 1:27:46.200 neighborhood alone has seventy seven. And I was like, thank you, no, 1:27:46.320 --> 1:27:49.320 thank you. Why do we have cancer? I think I 1:27:49.360 --> 1:27:53.479 think it could potentially have possibly allegedly be in the 1:27:53.520 --> 1:27:55.559 water too. And I'm going to be drinking the purest 1:27:55.560 --> 1:27:59.040 water out there, and God please hopefully that's the answer 1:27:59.080 --> 1:28:01.840 to many of thing that will you know, be on 1:28:01.880 --> 1:28:03.240 a healthier path. 1:28:03.720 --> 1:28:06.920 Yeah, I'm so damn proud of you too. No, seriously, no, seriously, 1:28:06.960 --> 1:28:08.840 And I do mean this again. I lost a mother 1:28:09.320 --> 1:28:14.000 do the breast cancer. And if I can just tell people, 1:28:14.080 --> 1:28:16.960 especially in our community, in the black community, one, I. 1:28:17.000 --> 1:28:22.960 Mean extra you know, deaths in the black community than 1:28:23.000 --> 1:28:25.840 it is in the white community. Lack of education, lack 1:28:25.880 --> 1:28:29.720 of information, lack of resources, It's on and on and 1:28:29.760 --> 1:28:31.839 on and on and on. So we need to literally 1:28:31.880 --> 1:28:36.400 be preventive health insurance. Please, before you buy anything else 1:28:36.439 --> 1:28:39.439 that you don't need, get the health insurance please, and 1:28:39.479 --> 1:28:42.160 make sure it comes with the breast cancer mammograms ultrasound 1:28:42.320 --> 1:28:43.439 because your kids need you. 1:28:44.600 --> 1:28:48.040 We need you, Yes, you need you, and y'all need this. 1:28:48.479 --> 1:28:50.040 Okay, y'all know. 1:28:50.120 --> 1:28:56.640 Seriously, Alkali dot Com, Russell and Gertie, I am immensely 1:28:56.720 --> 1:28:58.080 happy for the two of you. 1:28:58.600 --> 1:29:00.800 I mean seriously being together twenty eight. 1:29:00.800 --> 1:29:05.639 Years, having two beautiful boys, and being together throughout this 1:29:06.240 --> 1:29:10.720 process of you dealing with breast cancer, the chemotherapy and 1:29:10.760 --> 1:29:14.120 everything else and just still being of voice.
