Speaker 1: Celeb daughters. So Blue Ivy people were really praising during
Speaker 1: the Beyonce concert, and it was terrible because when it
Speaker 1: first started, when the tour first started, people were actually
Speaker 1: making fun of Blue Ivy's singing an eleven year old,
Speaker 1: and it really really bothered me. And I thought about
Speaker 1: just the pressure and what it means to be Blue
Speaker 1: Ivy to be a young girl on stage with your
Speaker 1: mom an icon, what a small idol, And it's beautiful
Speaker 1: for her mom to share that with her, but it
Speaker 1: must be a tremendous amount of pressure, like it's just
Speaker 1: getting on that road so early. And I wonder about it,
Speaker 1: like my daughter doesn't really kind of want to be
Speaker 1: in the end tainment industry in that way, like maybe
Speaker 1: something cute, you know, we're gonna do a little podcast
Speaker 1: together or conversation, but very very brief. The pressure for
Speaker 1: an eleven year old to be up on stage, it
Speaker 1: kind of has to be in your blood or something
Speaker 1: she really asked to want to do, or something Beyonce
Speaker 1: knew that Beyonce probably wanted to do at that age.
Speaker 1: And if you kind of get a child used to
Speaker 1: that young, they'll get a head start. It's just it's
Speaker 1: a dance. When I was young, I wanted that kind
Speaker 1: of thing, But it also does take away a little
Speaker 1: bit of your innocence, and my daughter really loves being
Speaker 1: a kid and her innocence. And I just I think
Speaker 1: about a couple of things, like I live for Beyonce.
Speaker 1: It's funny because Beyonce's tour hasn't gotten the same like
Speaker 1: cult status as Taylor Swift's. And I went to Tailor
Speaker 1: Shifts because I was invited. I definitely would have gone
Speaker 1: to Beyonce's if I were invited. I just it didn't
Speaker 1: come up. But I just had been moved by a
Speaker 1: child that age up on stage with that kind of
Speaker 1: public attention and scrutiny and schedule and lights and all
Speaker 1: of it. I mean, it's rare air. So it's just
Speaker 1: it's interesting to me, Like I don't know exactly what
Speaker 1: I think about it. I think it's wild and beautiful
Speaker 1: and amazing, and she's such a beautiful, inspirational young girl.
Speaker 1: But I think about it being difficult to have an
Speaker 1: actual innocent childhood while doing that, And I'm sure she
Speaker 1: goes back to having her normal childhood, but she has
Speaker 1: mega stars as parents. It may just be what she
Speaker 1: know is not unlike Northwest. You know that's not She
Speaker 1: stands near the met gala to watch her mom go in.
Speaker 1: It's just a different life, and some kids are more
Speaker 1: attracted to that than others. My daughter's not attracted to that.
Speaker 1: Then I think about people really trolling Jessica Simpson when
Speaker 1: her daughter was wearing a croptop. Who's also eleven and
Speaker 1: kids are wearing crop tops, and I don't I don't
Speaker 1: like people judging moms and like maybe in maybe maybe
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put my daughter in a crop top or
Speaker 1: put my daughter up on stage. I don't like this
Speaker 1: judgment when it comes to a tween who's going to
Speaker 1: see it or hear about it. It's so pure and
Speaker 1: innocent and fleeting being a child, and that being scrutinized
Speaker 1: is risky business to me. So that brings up the
Speaker 1: question of the parents, even in the entertainment industry, myself,
Speaker 1: including your children in being public. So I do remember
Speaker 1: being young and wanting to kind of be an actress
Speaker 1: an audition, and my mom didn't help me with that
Speaker 1: in any way, and I used to be so intrigued
Speaker 1: by it, but no one was going to drive me
Speaker 1: into the city to go look at these auditions that
Speaker 1: I'd see in magazines, and I just was really fascinated
Speaker 1: by it, and I was interested, but I had no
Speaker 1: vehicle to get there. Now, my daughter doesn't have any
Speaker 1: real interest in that. She does some tiktoks, not a lot.
Speaker 1: She does some fun, cute beauty reviews because she's seen
Speaker 1: me do them, and she does them on her own.
Speaker 1: I don't certainly don't say to her, you should sit
Speaker 1: down and do some beauty reviews. But she has fun
Speaker 1: and someone dons there are some cute bracelets, and I
Speaker 1: control how much she gets, Like free stuff comes for her,
Speaker 1: and I put it in a certain box, and I'll
Speaker 1: give her treats along the way. I make her give
Speaker 1: rid to something if she gets something new. But I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna make my kid be like a spoiled child
Speaker 1: that's exposed to all this just because I'm her mom,
Speaker 1: Meaning I worked all these years to be successful and
Speaker 1: for someone to send me a box of free stuff
Speaker 1: that I don't really even care about. But I'm not
Speaker 1: going to just hand her every free beauty product or
Speaker 1: bracelet that she gets because she's my daughter and because
Speaker 1: they want to either get to me or they just
Speaker 1: want her to post about it or she's famous or whatever,
Speaker 1: and she's marginally famous. So I think about the Jessica
Speaker 1: Simpson and the Beyonce situations, and I think about public scrutiny,
Speaker 1: and I definitely wouldn't want that for Brinn. Somebody said
Speaker 1: to Brinn in her comments, oh, tell your mom to
Speaker 1: stop talking about this stuff, because it was like about
Speaker 1: the Raquel stuff, and other mama bears came in and said, like,
Speaker 1: get out of there. She's a thirteen year old kid.
Speaker 1: Do not be commenting in her, you know, as an
Speaker 1: adult to a child on these matters. Someone else wanted
Speaker 1: her to reach out to them because they wanted to
Speaker 1: send her something. So like, I've got my mom army
Speaker 1: that's in there helping me be the mama cub and
Speaker 1: swat away weirdos. But when you put your child up
Speaker 1: on stage for millions to see, does that mean that
Speaker 1: they're open to a different level of speculation scrutiny and
Speaker 1: just being a public figure, it's the same thing. I guess.
Speaker 1: It's putting your kid as a child actor. It's just
Speaker 1: the Beyonce stage. Someone said to me recently, Oh no,
Speaker 1: not to me. Charlemagne said on his podcast that Beyonce
Speaker 1: can't go to certain restaurants because it will cause a riot.
Speaker 1: So now her daughter is like of that level fame
Speaker 1: by association. So are these kids ready for that? You know?
Speaker 1: Was Macaulay Culkin and was Michael Jackson? And were these
Speaker 1: child stars ready for that? It's just something to think about.
Speaker 1: I just was moved by watching Blue Ivy performing on
Speaker 1: a stage and it's a stage of billions because it's
Speaker 1: all over the world. People are going to watch that,
Speaker 1: and then people criticizing her singing, and then I thought
Speaker 1: about the Jessica Simpson and the halftop and criticizing that
Speaker 1: Jessica lets her wear that, and I just thought about
Speaker 1: that whole mix bag, and I would not be That's
Speaker 1: not for me. Like I'll dip my toe and let
Speaker 1: Brynn have a little bit of public forward facing stuff
Speaker 1: and some tiktoks and things with me, But like that,
Speaker 1: there's a line. I just think being young is so fleeting,
Speaker 1: so precious, so pure, so short, and I want her
Speaker 1: to have a child to like a pure kid childhood.
Speaker 1: And once you break that seal and once you open
Speaker 1: that like Justin Bieber did not have a normal childhood.
Speaker 1: He was uber famous as a kid, and you can't
Speaker 1: put that toothpaste back in the tube. You can't. Once
Speaker 1: you open Pandora's box, can't close it back up. So
Speaker 1: fame is an interesting, tricky thing, and as adults we
Speaker 1: have a difficult time handling it. We can't handle it
Speaker 1: for kids, so they've got to now handle it. And
Speaker 1: it's just an additional thing that happens on reality TV too.
Speaker 1: Look at the kids on Jersey Housewives or Kim and
Speaker 1: KROI like people Kim Zolziak's daughters. They're older now, but
Speaker 1: the reason people feel so comfortable criticizing them about their
Speaker 1: hair or their filters or their handbags is because they
Speaker 1: walked into this fame young and they've just been known
Speaker 1: for all this time. So it's definitely something. On The Housewives,
Speaker 1: I don't think that Gigi and Bella would be as
Speaker 1: big as they are if they weren't Yolanda's kids on
Speaker 1: The Housewives. Lisa Rena's kids too, their models and they
Speaker 1: started out young. So just tell me to think about
Speaker 1: for me,
