I mean, 13 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: I'm just happy that it's almost Friday. I'm gonna just 14 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,599 Speaker 1: be honest with you guys, like I am looking forward 15 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: so much, just been in the holiday weekend, Easter is 16 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: coming up with my family, and just taking that time 17 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: to do so that I have been counting down. I 18 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: kicked off the week, not the week, but I kicked 19 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: off kind of like my weekend, or I was supposed 20 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: to be kicking off my weekend. We're heading on over 21 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: to see Meg thea Sallion on Broadway in mulin. 22 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 2: Rude and that completely went left field. 23 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: I just rapped and you guys can catch those live now. 24 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: I just wrapped two interviews about that experience the Broadway, 25 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: one with Inside Edition and one with the Good Morning America, 26 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: where we talked about the fact that I went to 27 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: go see megda Stallion on Broadway and abruptly the show 28 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: stopped because Meg got sick and was taken to the hospital. Literally, 29 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: very abruptly, not planned. So you guys can imagine I 30 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: would say that it caused this shake up, but honestly 31 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 1: it didn't. Like I mean, they paused for a second. 32 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: In the moment, it felt like, what the hell has happened? 33 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: Is super confusing, but then they continued on. But now 34 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: it's the after conversation of what happened. So I received 35 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: a statement from a spokesperson from Megdae Stallion, and that 36 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: statement says on Tuesday even Meghan was transported to a 37 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,919 Speaker 1: local hospital to undergo a medical evaluation after experiencing concerning symptoms. 38 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: Doctors ultimately identified extreme exhaustion, dehydration, low metabolic levels as 39 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: the cause of her symptoms. Megan has since been treated, discharged, 40 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: and is down resting. Megan is incredibly grateful for the 41 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: prayers in the world, which is from her supporters, and 42 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: is looking forward to resuming her role at Ziddler on 43 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: mulin Rouge or at Mulin Rouge on Thursday. Now Magde 44 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: Stallion herself posted to her Instagram as well, just thinking 45 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: people for the support and providing some more information. So 46 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: Megan posted a photo of her from Ziddler from mulin 47 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: Rouge and she says last night was a real wake 48 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: up call for me. I've been pushing myself, passed my 49 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: limits lately, running running on empty, and my body said enough. 50 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: It's honestly scary for me. I thought I was gonna 51 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 2: faint on. 52 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: Stage, which is crazy because watching her, you couldn't tell that, Like, 53 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: I think that's the scariest part about all of this. 54 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: You know, her saying that she felt like she was 55 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: going to faint, and then you bring in dehydration and 56 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: exhaustion and all these things. You could not tell that 57 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: when she was on that stage, y'all. And again she wasn't. 58 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: She wasn't there long, Like she didn't appear too many 59 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: times on stage prior to the moment that we're talking 60 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: about where she had to no longer be on the stage. 61 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: But the times that she appeared, like I literally remember 62 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: sitting and thinking like okay. 63 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: Number one. 64 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: The cast was just fire. It was very timely, like 65 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: the music that they used to create the Mulin Rouge 66 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: vibe wasn't like I thought it was gonna be time 67 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: piece stuff. So I thought the music was gonna be 68 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: like a lot of older like Ballady, you know, like 69 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: those type of things. And it wasn't like they were 70 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: doing Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, Tina Turner. 71 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 2: It was a vibe. 72 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: But Meg the Staggen fit right in, like her energy, 73 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,119 Speaker 1: her voice, even though she's not like a sanger at all, 74 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: but just even in her speaking role because Ziller is 75 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: more of like the orchestrator of all of the madness 76 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: in the show, because Zidler is the person that is 77 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: running the cabaret, the Mulin Rouge location. But you know 78 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: how megda Saliu has that like animated hot voice. It 79 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: just fit with the show. She looked good, she fit 80 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: with the cast. She didn't feel like the celebrity on 81 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: the stage at Broadway. And I'm I'm very surprised to 82 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: hear this, but you know, you don't always know what 83 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: that looks like. Exhaustion and all the things that she 84 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: is claiming, and she then continues to go on to 85 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: say that she hates letting people down. She wants to 86 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: be real with the hotties who are her you know 87 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: her you know her followers because they mean everything to her. 88 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 2: But she just needs a day of rest. 89 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: She says she'll be back on that stage this coming Thursday, stronger, 90 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: clearer and ready to give you one hundred percent the 91 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: way you deserve. Thank you for always riving with me 92 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: and loving me through everything. The hotties was in the building, okay, 93 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: because there was a few girls. 94 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 2: There was a few ladies. 95 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: Who got up and left once it was announced that 96 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: Megd Salia would not be returning back onto the stage, 97 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: as well as like people just sitting there with well wishes. 98 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: I stayed as long as I could. I didn't finish 99 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: the show, though, but I say as long as I 100 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: could because I still wanted to see the show. And 101 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: it was great. The understudy who came in from Meg 102 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: the Sallium was great. The rest of the cast was 103 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: great as well. Like the lead who plays Celestine, the 104 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: woman who plays her, her voice. 105 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 2: Is like not real. 106 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: Like at one point we thought, well I knew, I'm 107 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: like this is live. It's no way that this is 108 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: like pre taped that much. I know that they probably 109 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: might add some like, you know, support vocals, but to 110 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: hear a person sing live and sound the way that 111 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: the lead of the play sounded was everything. 112 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: But yeah, just I don't know. 113 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: It's just I didn't expect sitting there in the show 114 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: for any of that to happen. And then I was 115 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: talking to I reached out and just text Charlemagne and 116 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: Envy because I was trying to figure out what was 117 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: going on. When after I reached out to me Mex's 118 00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: team and they didn't tell me anything, right, I hit 119 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: them and I'm like, yo, can y'all reach out to 120 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: somebody that y'all may know in the camp because I 121 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: need to know what's going on. Number one, just as 122 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: a person sitting here in the theater who was being 123 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: told not to go anywhere, to sit down and have 124 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: a seat, right, that was number one, Just make sure 125 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: I'm cool. But number two also now it's like the 126 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: journalist and me is kicking in. I made notes inside 127 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: of the theater just in the moment of things because 128 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: I just wanted to document everything that was happening. 129 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: And I didn't even remember taking these notes. That's how fast. 130 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 2: Everything happened. When I came in. 131 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: To work the following day, I remember or saw these notes. 132 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: So at seven forty pm, they paused the show and 133 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: execue to clear the stage and said that they'd be 134 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: making an update for the audience, but to stay seated. 135 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: And then I just talked a little bit about some 136 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: of the songs that you know they were doing, like 137 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: Elton John I told you guys, Britney Spears, Tina Turner. 138 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: When I heard What's Love Got to Do with It? 139 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, so this this is I like, 140 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,559 Speaker 1: they take the newer songs. I mean, not that song's 141 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: not super new, but you guys get what I mean, 142 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: like songs that you would recognize and identify with, but 143 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: they make it fit within the love story of Mulan Rouge. 144 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: Now I do want to go back.

I think I'm gonna do that. 147 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: I want to go back on Thursday, purchase a ticket 148 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: because I doubt anybody want to invite me because I 149 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: don't put this story out. 150 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 2: But I didn't know that the story would do all 151 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 2: of this, y'all. Like I really didn't. I didn't. 152 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: I knew that it was news, and I knew that 153 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: I was going to make it news, but I had 154 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: no idea, you know, the reach and the legs that 155 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: this thing would have. But I think it's because, you know, 156 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: people are just nosy. If we've been honest, people love 157 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: anything drama, and it had all of the you know, 158 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: the elements. 159 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 2: But I think that there. 160 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: Just is a really there's a crowd of people who 161 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: are really invested in Megda Sali, and whether it's for 162 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: positive things because you care about her, you wanted a 163 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: hotties you want to support, or is for negative things 164 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: following it everything with Tory Lanez like, I think that 165 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: there are people on both sides that are super super invested, 166 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: and I can see why. You know, she is doing 167 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: like pushing herself to the limit that she's pushing herself. 168 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: Not that I think that it's right, but I can 169 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: understand it just because of how big the conversation around 170 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: her gets. 171 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 2: She's superstar, so I get it.

This is not intermission. They never 185 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: turn the house lights on. Really, what they did was 186 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: is like they kept they lit it up more than 187 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: it was lit when the actors were on the stage, 188 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: as you guys are going to be able to see. 189 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: But they had some music playing in the background, but 190 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: it's every as you literally people were just sitting here 191 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: and we're just in quiet, and we're like we're kind 192 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: of like on the edge of our seats waiting to 193 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: hear what the next instruction would be. 194 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: Because we were told in the. 195 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: First next announcement that came over the speaker in the 196 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: house that we will be receiving more instruction. 197 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 2: No, you know, so security wasn't. 198 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: Super high specifically because Meg thee Stallion was there. That's 199 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: another thing too that you know, as I'm painting the 200 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: picture of this that I want people to understand, and 201 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: which is why I thought maybe there was even like 202 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: something related to security that might have happened, because security 203 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: was normal, like you know, there was the security check 204 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: when you walked in the door or the Hirschfeld Theater. 205 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: There were you know, the guards who helped escort you 206 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: to your seats and all black. Of course, there's security 207 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: on the out front of the door before you walk 208 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,119 Speaker 1: in through the you know, security scanners. 209 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 2: But other than. 210 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: That that I saw, at least not in the theater. 211 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what her backstage is like, whether she 212 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure she has like other guards. 213 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 2: I mean I would be. 214 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: I would be so confused if she did not, So 215 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: I put, maybe there are other guards in the back 216 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: with her, you know, for her personal like persons. 217 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 2: But from what we saw in the theater, security was 218 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 2: just normal. 219 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: Security was very normal for it to be you know, 220 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: Meg Decillion on Broadway. But again this is also kind 221 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: of normal in that area where celebrities come they pop 222 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: in a Broadway for several weeks at a time, and 223 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: the Broadway goers just come and see the celebrity like 224 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: they're not there to harm or you know, like any 225 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: bad intentions. But I think it's so crazy tho the 226 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: world that we're in and just how you know what 227 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: it was too. It was the Rihanna story, like reporting 228 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: on that Rihanna story and just seeing how like obsessed 229 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: and crazy fans can be. I think my first instinct, 230 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: in my first thought, this was something security wise must 231 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 1: have happened, and they're having to like lock it down, 232 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: get her out of here, make sure she's safe. 233 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 2: That was literally my first thought. 234 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: And that's what made me call her team so fast, 235 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: because I'm like, you know, if anybody is going to 236 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: Before it was about reporting the story, I was really 237 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: just trying to make sure that, like I knew for 238 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: myself what the hell was going on, and I'm like, 239 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: if anybody's gonna know, her team is going to know 240 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: because they have to like make sure she's good too. 241 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: So Mulin Rouge, I have not seen the movie. I 242 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: only knew what it was about before going into the 243 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: show because I reported about the fact that megda Stallion 244 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 1: was making her Broadway debut doing this play, and also 245 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: like loosely because of the song with like Christina Aguilera 246 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: and like whatever you know, I knew somewhat very loosely 247 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: the Tale of Mulin Rouge.
