1
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: Reality with the King is hosted by me Carlos King.

00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 1: I'm an executive producer who have produced some of your

00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: favorite shows from the Real Housewives in Atlanta, New Jersey

4

Speaker 1: and my own creation, The Love and Marriage Franchise and

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: Bell Collective. Every episode, we recap reality television from the

6
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: Real Housewives Franchise to The Bachelor or Selling Sunset in

7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: addition to celebrity guests, whether in the unscripted space or

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: scripted as well. Hey, Rainy drops on today's episode of

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: Reality with the King, we are going to get into

10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: the Real Housewives of Miami latest episode. So this episode

11
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: was kind of a filler with so many explosive things

12
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: happening well that happened on the trip. In addition to

13
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: us to come, this episode to me was like a

14
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: nice reset so that we're able to really dive into

15
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: some personal stories and we're able to dive into the

16
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: makeup between Lisa and Larsa. So, look, Lisa and Larsa

17
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: had to sit down conversation that was long overdue. And

18
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: the beauty of this is the fact that it was

19
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: just between the two of them. There wasn't anybody around,

20
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: whether it's Jody and his eyeballs or whether it's the

21
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: ladies egging them on okay or trying to insert themselves

22
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: in the conversation. So Lisa and Larson said down, and

23
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: they decided, look, let's squash our beef because it's getting

24
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: out of hand. And I also think for them, I

25
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: really do believe there was a real friendship when it

26
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: came to how they vote, were just there for each other.

27
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: This may be an unpopular opinion, but you guys know me,

28
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: I don't give a damn. I felt that Larsa was

29
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: a better friend to Lisa than Lisa was to Larsa.

30
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: And if you guys have been watching the show since

31
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: the reboot happened a couple of years ago, especially when

32
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: Lisa was going through her divorce, Larsa was there for her.

33
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: Larsa even gave her the play in terms of like

34
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: what to do and what not to do, and even

35
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: introduce her to a lawyer, gave her advice on you know,

36
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: don't involve the kids, don't say this, don't do this

37
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: on social media. She gave her the gameplay, and I

38
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: felt that Lisa took advantage of that because Larsa was

39
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: the one who showed up for her when no one

40
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: else was there. Based on what we saw, and I

41
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: know Larsa may not be the one people love to

42
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: give credit to, but that we're gonna focus on the

43
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: actual friendship between these two I have with these eyeballs

44
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: seeing Larsa be there more for Lisa than the other

45
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: way around. And what Larsa really wanted from Lisa was

46
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: the fact that when she and Marcus Jordan broke up,

47
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: Larsa wanted Lisa to at least give, if not one

48
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: hundred percent, because it's different between going through divorce and

49
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: going through a breakup, at least give fifty percent of

50
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: attention and being there for someone the way Larsa was

51
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: to Lisa. It's actually truth. It's true. She wanted fifty percent,

52
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: just like she got fifty percent of Scotti Chicago Bulls

53
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: four oh one k fons. Let me tell y'all something.

54
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: Larsa is smart, and Larsa was able to really show

55
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: the world how smart she is. So let's talk about

56
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: the divorce settlement that Larsa received from her ex husband,

57
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: Scottie Pippen. Okay, so, Larsa Pippen and Scottie Pippen finalize

58
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: their divorce and laid twenty twenty one, with Larsa receiving

59
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: fifty percent of Scotty Chicago Bulls four O one k fond. Okay,

60
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: So that was part of their divorce settlement agreement. Okay,

61
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: specifically fifty percent of their balance from their marriages starting

62
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety seven until their separation date in November

63
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: of two thousand and sixteen. The settlement, which was signed

64
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: by the judge on June sixteenth, twenty twenty three, specifies

65
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: that Larsa is entitled to this portion of the retirement

66
00:04:49,760 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: funds which were deemed community property. And there you have it. Okay,

67
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: there you haven't, there you haven't. So again, Larsa was

68
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: trying to give Lisa the play in terms of how

69
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: to deal with all of this, and when Larsa needed

70
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: Lisa the most, she wasn't there for her because she

71
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: was too busy being there for Jody. That's exactly what happened.

72
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: It is what happened when Lisa and Lenny broke up. Yes,

73
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: all the girls had apprenticeship with Lenny. All of the

74
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: girls were over there at Lenny's house where he had

75
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: all the influencers, all of the models, all of the

76
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: fancy clad dressers who were there from son up to sundown,

77
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: just saying, so, these ladies actually knew Lenny for a

78
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: long time, and the moment they found out that Lenny

79
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: treated Lisa this way and filed, they were all there

80
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: for Lisa. But the moment Marcus Jordan broke up with

81
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: Larsa and was on social media saying things about her.

82
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: I don't understand why Lisa never understood that my girl

83
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: is going through something. The least I can do is

84
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: be there for her emotionally. And if she wants me

85
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: to unfollow a motherfucker who was dissing her is easy

86
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: as one, two three. That's what I got from me.

87
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: And I think Larsa is old and apology by Lisa.

88
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: I love Lisa. I think Lisa's a great housewife. I

89
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: also think Lisa cares about Lisa. I don't think Lisa

90
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: cares about anybody else but herself. I think Lisa is

91
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: which is listen, it's fine. I think if we look

92
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: back at all of our friends, we could look at

93
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: somebody that has these traits. I think, you know, Lisa's

94
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: a narcissist. And I'm not saying Larsa isn't either. But

95
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is one thing we have to get

96
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: Larsa is we have actual evidence of her being there

97
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: for her. So that's why I was on Larsa's side

98
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: when it came to the destruction of They're Frisha, because

99
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: Lisa tried it. Now Larsa for some reason really said

100
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: that she's upset because Lisa said that she calls the

101
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: paparazzi on her. Okay, what in the head of the

102
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: brusban on here? This is what I will say about this.

103
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a big deal that celebrities called

104
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: paparazzi on each other. As somebody who has been involved

105
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: in reality television since two thousand and eight, I can

106
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: guarantee you guys, ninety percent of reality stars called the

107
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: paparazzi on themselves. And guess what, who gives a fuck?

108
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: Your famous, your celebrity, Get all the photo ops that

109
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: you need, get all the pictures that you need. I

110
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: don't think it's a big deal that you are a

111
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: reality star who calls the paparazzi on yourself to be photographed.

112
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: I think that's fine. Paparazzi to reality stars. To me

113
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: is the selfiaest that we do to ourselves and we

114
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: post them on Instagram. We want to be seen, We

115
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: want people to see us. I don't get the big

116
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: deal with that. Heather and Bro denied it the Love

117
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: Detective test that she took on OC said that she

118
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: actually did it. Yes, she swung her kids. So I

119
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: think any mother who sweats on their kids is telling

120
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: the truth, because why would you go that far. However,

121
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: I just don't think it's that big of a deal.

122
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: Who gives a shit you call the paparazzi on yourself.

123
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: It's similar to when you're at dinner and you ask

124
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: the person next to you who's eating with their family, Hey,

125
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: can you take a picture of me and my friends?

126
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean, am I tripping? I just don't think it's

127
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: that big of a deal. I think it's okay. But look,

128
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: they didn't like it and fascist that, so I digress.

129
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: But that was the main thing that Larsa wanted to

130
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: get across, and look, Lisa teared up and hopefully this

131
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: was the final moment between them ever talking about this,

132
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: because I got to be honest with you, I was

133
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: getting tired of the hamster wheel when it came to

134
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,359
Speaker 1: their friendship, and I honestly do like them as friends,

135
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: but I definitely think this has to stop. It just

136
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: does it just does now. One thing that we saw

137
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: this episode that to me was my favorite scene of

138
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: the episode was Gerty's admission in terms of how she

139
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: needs to have therapy by herself. So Gertie revealed that

140
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: she and Russell have a tended couples therapy. And one

141
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: thing that I've realized when it comes to a woman

142
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: not only diagnosed with breast cancer but thankfully beating it.

143
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: We dealt with this on Love and Marriage Huntsville when

144
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: it came to Kimmy Scott and Maurice, where Kimmy was

145
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: diagnosed with breast cancer. She's not cancer free, but she

146
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: and Maurice talked about how it didn't affect a marriage,

147
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: especially their sex life. So these are things that people

148
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: we don't talk about a lot. We did it with

149
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: Kimmy Scott and Maurice, and it's nice to see that

150
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: Gerty is talking about this as well. So what we

151
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: did see in this episode is Gerty attending therapy and

152
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: Gerty talks about what happened to her when she was

153
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: around nine years old. So as we all know Gerty

154
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: is a Haitian American. So Gerty her family obviously from Haiti,

155
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: and when she was nine years old, she and her

156
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: brother moved to America and she talked about her parents

157
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: dropped her off at this house. I'm I believe her

158
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: family's house, not you know people she knew. These were

159
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: people she meant for the first time. And where Gertie

160
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: said which made me feel a greater well not feel peel, yes,

161
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: but also just have a greater understanding of her, is

162
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: the fact that as she's talking about this, she explains

163
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: that for three months upon arrival, she'sa in this new

164
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: house with these people she doesn't know, and how she

165
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: can count on one hand how many times she and

166
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: her brother were allowed to go outside, and how she

167
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: was told to behave this way and have these manners

168
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: and not say anything or not disrupt the peace because

169
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: you know, the fear of them getting kicked out of

170
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: this family's house and having to listen to these people.

171
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: And in that moment, it made me understand Gerty much better,

172
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: not that I did not have a greater understanding of her.

173
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: Let's have a real conversation. I think when it comes

174
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: to Gerty, a lot of people feel Gerty's too much, well,

175
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: Gerty's personality is too much, or Gerty's out there too much.

176
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: I happen to enjoy Gerty a lot. I got a

177
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: chance to meet her on the podcast. I've got a

178
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: chance to have dinner with Gerty and hang out with her.

179
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: Gerty is on the camera who she is off camera.

180
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: She's a fun girl. Gerty's like me. She talks a

181
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: mile a minute. But you know, like we just had

182
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: that comment. But Gerty's a sweetheart. And it bothers me

183
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: that people don't really get a chance to see the

184
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: Gerdy that I get to see off camera, not that

185
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: she's a different person, but obviously we get to see

186
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: more than forty two minutes of an ensemble episode where

187
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: Gerdy may get at least five to seven minutes of

188
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: airtime when it's based on just her. With all of

189
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: that being said, what I found so fascinating is understanding

190
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: of Gerty, and it makes sense why Gerty has the

191
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: personality that she has. And while Gerty is outspoken and

192
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: has all the spump, it's because as a little girl

193
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: being nine years old, being sheltered in a house for

194
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: three months where you're not allowed to go outside a lot.

195
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: Gerty is free. Gerty has freedom to be herself because

196
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: as a nine year old girl who did not speak English,

197
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: who had to learn everything at nine, where her parents

198
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: just dropped her off at this house. It now makes sense.

199
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: While Gerty has the ambition and this bubbly personality that

200
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: she has, because she has the freedom to be expressive,

201
00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: she doesn't have anyone telling her behave yourself and a

202
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: lot of people may think Gerty's too much. What Gerty

203
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: is showing us as a woman who now gets to

204
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: choose to be eaten up for herself, and that's what

205
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: I got from me. I'm even sure Gertie understands that,

206
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: or the therapist understood that. But the moment Gerty said

207
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: how she was treated, I instantly connected to who she

208
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: is today and it all makes sense. It all makes sense.

209
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: And that's the reason why Gerty does have a lot

210
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: of people who love her and a lot of people

211
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: who do enjoy her, like myself, because Gerty is authentically hard.

212
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: And that's why these therapy scenes are so important, is

213
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: because we get a chance to really dive into what

214
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: makes an adult who they are. And if you trace

215
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: it back to moments in their childhood, like Gerty had

216
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: to do with the therapist asking her about the most

217
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: traumatic experience that she remembers as a child. It will

218
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: always make sense as you're connected to who you are

219
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: as an adult. And that's exactly why Gertie is who

220
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: she is. And even when she connected to the fact

221
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: that as a child she was bullied, you know, she

222
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: has to take on this name I believe was Amy

223
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: or Alicia, one of those names. And you know, it's

224
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: the fact that she now owns the fact that her

225
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: name is Gerty and she's gertified and just all of

226
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: these amazing things that I love. That's just so dupe

227
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: about who she is. But anyways, going back to her

228
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: being bullied, she was bullied because of her name. She

229
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: was bullied because of how she looked. She was bullied

230
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: because of the clothes that she wore. And then Gerty

231
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: the adult woman, connected to how she felt pretty much

232
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: when Julia threw the drink on her and nobody was

233
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: there for her, and how she felt bullied in that moment,

234
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: all of that makes sense. And when Julia threw the

235
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: drink on Gerty. What was interesting about Gerty's reaction to

236
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: that was. You could tell in the moment it happened,

237
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: she felt stuck and that's why she didn't really do

238
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: what a lot of people would have done or expected

239
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: her to do, which is fight fire fire. I think

240
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: at that moment, it was sort of like going back

241
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: to who she was as a kid and knowing that

242
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: this happened to me, and these women who are around

243
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: me aren't chastising the person who did this to me.

244
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: It all just made so much sense to me, and

245
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: I hope that in that moment even the girls cannot

246
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: understand Gerty more because going through that moment really, to me,

247
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: brought back Gerty in terms of the young girl that

248
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: she was, So I thought that was amazing. I really

249
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: really really was really really happy to have seen that

250
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: and really happy to know that Gertie gave the audience

251
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: another self reflective moment of who she is. And that's why, listen,

252
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: I want Gerty on the show for a very long time,

253
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: because they have that level of awareness and runnability is

254
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: exactly what makes her a great housewife. Speaking of great housewives,

255
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: we have to get to Stephan Alexia. So look, Alexia,

256
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: as you all know, I consider her to be the

257
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: face of the show. I think it's obvious. I think

258
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: Stephanie is a strong woman herself, obviously, but I also

259
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: think Stephanie, you know, is used to being I think

260
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: Stephanie used to being the boss in every situation. And Stephanie,

261
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: for me, is somebody who just you know, has to

262
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: be the boss. And Alexia it is the face of

263
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: Miami Housewives. And I think Stephanie realized, look after weeks

264
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: and weeks and weeks of filming, I now understand what

265
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: I have to do. And I think at that moment

266
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: Stephanie had to kiss the ring. She did. She did.

267
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: I don't care what y'all say. Stephanie, as a businesswoman,

268
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: understood the assignment of if you can't beat them, join them,

269
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: and she now is going to join forces with Alexia,

270
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: and it hopes to take down Marisol. That's what's happening.

271
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: That was obvious, an Alexia, what you don't realize you did?

272
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: You gave Stephanie momentum to go after your girl now.

273
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: And this one on ones sit down between Stephanie Alexia,

274
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: they talk about, you know how Stephanie felt hurt that

275
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: Alexia and Marissol did not go on her plane. For

276
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: the trip, and she thought they you know, developed a

277
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: friendship because when they were at this restaurant in Spain,

278
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: Stephanie left the table and she said she knew Larsa

279
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: was going to you know, join her or try like

280
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: it is that shade, like, of course Larsa's going to

281
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: come after me, baby, Yes, But she said she was

282
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised that Alexi at Marisol did because for her,

283
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: she was like, okay, fine, this means that you know,

284
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: they liked me. We were developed big a friendship, which

285
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: is why she was surprised that they did not show

286
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: up the next day to go on the twenty minute

287
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: plane ride to another destination. Alexia decides to throw Marissol

288
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: under the bus and said how she Alexia really wanted

289
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: to go, but Marisol did it. And Alexia is like, look,

290
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: marisaw his confrontation one thing about me. I'm going to

291
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: be honest, and I'm gonna be honest, whether it's about

292
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: me or my girl. I just believe in being honest.

293
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: Which look, that's why I love Alexia because I can

294
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Now. The thing is this, there's nothing wrong

295
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: of being honest, but give your goal of hisad stuff

296
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: that you're going to be honest. If you know that

297
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: your friend doesn't like confrontation, why would you put her

298
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: in a situation where she's going to be confronted. That

299
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: makes that makes no sense to me. If your best

300
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: friend hates confrontation, you should not put them in situations

301
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: where they're going to be confronted. What Alexa should have

302
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: done to me is say, look, I think it's best

303
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: if you have a one on one with Marisol because

304
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: you're only going to get my side of how I felt.

305
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: Marisol is not here to defend herself. However, I think

306
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: you should have a one on one with her. And yes, listen,

307
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: let me just stop there. They had it last week,

308
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: Stephanie and Marisol, and I think Marisol gave I think

309
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: Marissol stood up and said what was how she felt.

310
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: I don't think Marisol backed down, but I think Alexia

311
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: just gave Stephanie permission to go after her because Stephanie's

312
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: a smart businesswoman and Stephanie knew if I'm able to

313
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: drive a wedge between Alexia and Marisol, then I'm gonna

314
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: do that so that I'm able to rise above the

315
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: fray and take the crown away. I'm telling you it's

316
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: similar to when Angela Oakley told Porsia what should be

317
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: a said about her? It's all a game. Angela Oakley

318
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: knew that. Look, Porsia came for my marriage, saying that,

319
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, making this joke that she can f Charles.

320
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: All Right, Porscha, I see you want I'm gonna raise

321
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: you twenty So she invites Porscha to her property, not

322
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: her home, not her residence, not her primary residence, but

323
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: to one of her investment properties. It says to her, yeah,

324
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: how are you and Shamiyah? Because you know Shamia were

325
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: saying things about you that was not okay. And what

326
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: happened it was the moment a wedge was drawn between

327
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: pors and Shamia. Now, the difference between that and Alexa

328
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,239
Speaker 1: Marisol is this, there was already something weird that they

329
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: the lady saw between Porsha Shamiyah. Now, I don't think

330
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: anything will break the friendship of Alexa Marissol. I believe

331
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: they have a tight friendship, and I believe they will

332
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: never allow anyone or anybody to come between them. Marissol

333
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: cannot stand tap and made that very clear to Alexia

334
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: even when she was talking to Alexi and her son

335
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: at dinner, like, I just don't like the guy that's

336
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: not going to drive away between down. So I don't

337
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: think this thing with Stephanie will. But what I'm saying

338
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: is Stephanie was smart enough to clock it and say,

339
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: I am going to do this in an effort to

340
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: really compromar assault, and I'm going to throw Alexia under

341
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: the bus, which is why what we do know at

342
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: the reunion is Stephanie and Alexia got first chair. So

343
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, Stephanie did what needed

344
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: to be done, so we get to see this confrontation

345
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: next week. So look, overall, I give this episode of

346
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: B I thought it was really good to dive into

347
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: the personal story, and I do believe that when it

348
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: comes to Gerdy. My hope is that these ladies watched

349
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: the scene and was able to be like, Okay, got it.

350
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: I now have a greater understanding of Gerty, because I

351
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: think that's what was needed in order to understand why

352
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: she has the big personality that she does. Reality with
