Speaker 5: Kid in address, like let's be clear. But in terms

39
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 5: of like shade and read.

40
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 3: It was something that I introduced to the cast in

Speaker 3: been a supermodel way before Atlanta Housewives and been around

43
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,520

45
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: my interact with the ladies.

00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 5: They sort of picked up on, like the gay.

47
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: Culture so talk to the audience about that because they

48
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,520

Speaker 3: When you came on season three, the network, the production company,

162
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 3: we were all behind you and we were all rooting

163

Speaker 3: for you. You brought class, You brought elegance, you brought sophistication,

164
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 3: You brought another world of an international black woman who

165
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 3: was able to have conversations about things other than what

166
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 3: was happening in Atlanta. So much so the world doesn't

167
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,080

170
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,400

Speaker 3: you get the credit you deserve, and I want to

172
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 3: talk about that more. Do you think that what you

173
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: brought to Atlanta Housewives changed the game?

174
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:38,160

181
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,800

Speaker 2: I was coming from a modeling career in New York

193
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: City and I really looked at the show like a job.

194
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: So that's why I was always very professional. I was

195
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: always really excited to throw events. I still think that

Speaker 5: Did you know that? Yeah?

213
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 2: I know that it would always come to by the

00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: end of the season, I couldn't film any more events

215
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 2: or that many scenes anymore because I had done so much.

216
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: Always, because I always showed up.

217
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 2: You know, I was never really like big on bringing

218
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: the drama, but I definitely you know, I always felt

219
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: like a team player. I always respected everyone else's events,

220
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: always showed up and you know, participated, and you know,

221
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: I was actually one of the girls that I would

222
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 2: get the phone call from you guys said, hey, we

223
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 2: gotta get.

224
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: This name going. You know, we're like three weeks in,

225
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: nothing's happened.

226
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: We need a Bailly queue, we need we need it.

227
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: We need an all cast tomorrow. And I always had,

228
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: you know, spaces I had. I had the Bailly Agency

229
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: School of Fashion that was a physical place that we

230
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 2: can go and shoot. You know, when Peter and I

231
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 2: were together, we had bar one. We could all go there.

232
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: So I was definitely I feel like one of the

233
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 2: first housewives that actually had physical spaces that we could

234
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: just pull together an event in two seconds. And I

235
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 2: got that phone call.

236
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 3: A lot for you guys, oh, because you were you

237
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 3: were You were always able to have an event that

238
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 3: made sense for all the casts to go because you know,

239
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 3: everybody don't get along, but everyone got along with you.

240
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 3: So the Belly Bow, we were not supposed to film it.

241
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 3: Y'all know me, No one tells me no. So I

242
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 3: was like child, I'm shooting the Belly Bowl and y'all

243
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 3: gonna have to deal with it. And look what happened.

244
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 3: Cynthia created an event that got some great content. We

245
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: would have never seen the destruction of Nini and Marlow's friendship.

246
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take y'all back to season eight, the premiere.

247
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 3: I was actual to comeback season eight because no Shae,

248
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: nothing was happening, and I came back.

249
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 5: To the show. Okay, go ahead, I came.

250
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 3: I came back to the show season eight because another

251
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 3: producer was wasn't producing, and I said, we need a

252
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 3: Cynthia Bailly event. And that's when you guys saw the

253
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 3: rooftop celebration of Cynthia's Remember, and that's when Scharay came

254
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: in and Sharay and Kenya had their epic moment on

255
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: the rooftop.

256
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 5: I'm going to gag you some more.

257
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 3: Season six, we had the White Party at the Bailey Agency,

258
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 3: another Cynthia event, and that's when Ninnie and Kenya got

259
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 3: into it when she said, no, Niche, you're gonna tell

260
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 3: me who I can't cannot invite, because Kenya was mad

261
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 3: that Nini invited Walter to her bdding.

262
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 5: So that's a long way of saying this, y'all need.

263
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 3: To stop fucking around and calling Cynthia borings or not

264
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 3: relevant as the producer who worked on the show seasons

265
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 3: one through nine. I'm telling you, without Cynthia, this show

266
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 3: would not have been the hit that it is.

267
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Carls, You're gonna maybe cry.

268
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 5: Wow.

269
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, thank you. You know, it just feels

270
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 2: good to be recognized, especially by you, Carlos, because I

271
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: know you were definitely one of the wizards behind the

272
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: curtain all the time making sure the show worked, because

273
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 2: otherwise we would just show up the scenes and just

274
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: eat all the food and drink all the cocktails. Any

275
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And a lot of people

276
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: ask me all the time, is the show scripted?

277
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: Whatever? But no, of course the show is not scripted.

278
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: But they have to put us, you guys, have to

279
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: put us in situations. So when people say that I'm boring,

280
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: I just.

281
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: Kind of look at it like, you know, I've always

282
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: tried to handle myself with class and grace. I'm just

283
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: always this is who I am. That's just who I am,

284
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: and I think it's like my superpower too. I think

285
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 2: that's why the network liked me. I think that's what

286
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: may made me such a good fit for the show

287
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 2: at that time that I was just I just honestly

288
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: came on being myself and that's it.

289
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: That's all I could do.

290
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: And it worked for me for eleven amazing, unforgettable, insane

291
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 2: years of just being a part of the Real Housewives

292
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: of Atlanta. And you know, anytime, you know, I think

293
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 2: one of the things that I'm proud of is Carlos,

294
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 2: is that I never left who I was. I never

295
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: sold my soul. I never did anything that I was

296
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: uncomfortable do, and I hate it even when I had to.

297
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: Like I remember when Peter and Apollo got together, they

298
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: were talking about mister Chocolate whatever, and of course Apollo

299
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: told Peter, so of course I had to take it

300
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: back to the group. And I tell you, I was

301
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: like sitting there because I was like, you know, again,

302
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: the show is not scripted, but I knew that I

303
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 2: had to.

304
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: Deliver a message.

305
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: Okay, So the message was to left Page Renault that

306
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: Apollo told Peter that she was like dating.

307
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: Somebody named mister Chocolate.

308
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: What I tell you, guys, I was sitting at that

309
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: table praying for like the electricity to.

310
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: Go out for like aliens to.

311
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: Invade us like anything. So I did not have to

312
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: tell this girl that because as soon as I got

313
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 2: to the scene, Favor was so nice to me.

314
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: She was like, oh my god, it looks so cute.

315
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: I love your ear rings, I love your sweat, and

316
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, stop being nice to me. I had to

317
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: drop a bomb. Stop being nice to me, because it

318
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: just is so hard.

319
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: You guys have no idea how difficult it is to

320
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: do a reality show like this, because you know, it's

321
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: a lot mentally, emotionally, spiritually.

322
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: We get a lot to this show and it's very easy.

323
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: And now I get to see, you know, as I'm

324
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 2: not on the show anymore, I get to sit back

325
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:40,119
Speaker 2: and watch.

326
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: You know, the show, and you know.

327
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: From a whole different, you know, with a whole another

328
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: set of eyeballs because I'm not a part of that

329
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: drama anymore.

330
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: And I remember like certain.

331
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 2: Scenes, I would be like, oh my god, I have to, like,

332
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: you know, tell the girls what happened. And everybody was

333
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 2: like Kenny was kicking me on the table, like say it,

334
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: say it. Claudie was like squeeze my hand, like you

335
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 2: can do it, you can do it. And I think

336
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: even Edie was fun to like. Girl, if you don't

337
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 2: go ahead.

338
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: And say what yes, it was a mess. It was

339
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: a mess.

340
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: But I will say I never enjoy even if the

341
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 2: girls that you know, if I was going back and

342
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 2: forth with someone or they really didn't care for me

343
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: that season. I always hated to like have to you

344
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 2: know it, I pour their tea to them, honey or

345
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 2: or whatever.

346
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 5: But it goes.

347
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 3: And this is what I want people to know. And

348
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: you don't know this. Everybody has a role on these

349
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 3: ensemble shows. And I always tell people and this this

350
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 3: is an exclusive to you, Cynthia. When I cast shows

351
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 3: and create shows, I always say, okay, this is good,

352
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 3: but who's our Cynthia Bailey? I promise you. I told Brent.

353
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 3: I told Brent last week. I said, yeah, I hear you,

354
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 3: but I think she's our Cynthia Bailey. And he understood

355
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 3: what that meant. So I want to explain that to

356
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: the audience. Every show has a person who is, you know,

357
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 3: a loud mouth, a shade queen, a little DITSI like,

358
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 3: there's always these different archetypes that they have. And I

359
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 3: always tell people you can't do a show with five

360
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 3: Nini leaks. Five Porschas. You know, you can't do a

361
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 3: show with five Gazelle Bryant's. It doesn't make sense. And

362
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 3: when I tell people you need a Synthia Bailey, you

363
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 3: need someone who's able to bring balance to the show.

364
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 5: You need someone.

365
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 3: Who gives everything of their personal lives to the show.

366
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 5: You need someone that can rally the troops.

367
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 3: So the reason why we always said we need a

368
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 3: Synthi of Belly event, there has never in the history

369
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 3: of the Real Houseports of Atlanta that a girl did

370
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 3: not show up at a synth of Belly event. And

371
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: the reason why you have staying power is because you

372
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 3: are always the one to rely on and people don't

373
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 3: understand that when you have a show with a group

374
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 3: of women. Every single show needs a Cynthia Bailey. And

375
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 3: that's why this podcast is for me to honor you.

376
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 3: And one of the other things I want them to

377
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 3: say is Season three would have been a flop without

378
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 3: you because we saw a real relationship go through ups

379
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 3: and downs with Peter Thomas and your mama and your

380
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 3: sister Hot in the marriage certificate, kid, you know it

381
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,239
Speaker 3: was it was something we've never seen before, and we

382
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 3: saw the ups.

383
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 5: And downs of your relationship with Peter.

384
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 3: Obviously you two aren't together anymore, and then you were best.

385
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: Don't forget about the Frame Contract.

386
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 3: Season Grand Contract season three with Mimi and you guys

387
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 3: being friends.

388
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 5: And I want to ask you this.

389
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 3: I feel like someone said this to you, but I

390
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 3: want you to respond and tell me your truth. Were

391
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 3: you ever told or felt that without Nannie or Peter

392
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 3: that you would not have staying power on the show.

393
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: Actually, Peter may have told me yourself were breaking up.

394
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 5: Peter.

395
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: I mean, Peter was definitely a huge part of my

396
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: story for sure, because we were just honestly, you know,

397
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: we had lost everything. We were like struggling, and you know,

398
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: we had never saw, like anyone really actually in real

399
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 2: time go through a financial struggle. Like I was like,

400
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 2: you know, paying Tony come, we on a payment plan.

401
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 2: It was like a lot going on, and I was

402
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: so stressed out. And I remember when you know, we

403
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: were having issues, and I feel like, you know, like

404
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: in the middle of an argument he made be like, well,

405
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 2: you know they're not going to keep.

406
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: You on the show without me, you know how Peter is.

407
00:20:51,040 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 6: But anyway, years later, years later, and I actually was

408
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 6: like when he said that.

409
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, here's the thing too. When

410
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: Peter and I did.

411
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: Decide to go our separate ways, I knew that I

412
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: would not drag him publicly.

413
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: Again, That's just not who I am. And you know,

414
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: it just didn't work out for us.

415
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 5: It just is what it is.

416
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm dragged him. I'll camp we dragged off Camra. Okay,

417
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: we definitely had some very you know, he did conversations.

418
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 2: But you know, I'm out of respect for our marriage,

419
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 2: out of respect for him as this as this black man,

420
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 2: this strong black man that he is.

421
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: You know, I'm always grateful to Peter because I.

422
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 2: Was living in New York City, minded my business child

423
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: when I met Peter Thomas and I decided to move

424
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 2: to Atlanta. He was the one that said to me,

425
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 2: you know what it was at April Love and Satchel

426
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 2: were like, you know, I think they were working with him, Yes,

427
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 2: they were working with him, and they were like, we

428
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 2: love Cynthia. You know, was she ever go on Housewives?

429
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 2: And I was like, what, like, oh no, no, no, no,

430
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: I'm not like that girl at all. And he was

431
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 2: the one that convinced me to, you know, take the

432
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 2: meeting and the first person I filmed with to.

433
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: Test with, and Joy can tell you this was Derreck

434
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: j And I was like, it was in my house.

435
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's so many things that happened at that house.

436
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: But anyway, long story short, you know, shout out to Peter.

437
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 2: You know, we are I'm always, I'm very I'm I

438
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 2: will be grateful that he convinced me to step out

439
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 2: of my comfort zone and do something different with my life,

440
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 2: something that I was very unfamiliar with, you know, I mean,

441
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: who knows how to do a reality show. I was

442
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 2: a model living in New York.

443
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: City and that one choice changed my whole life. Like

444
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: I was known in a fashion.

445
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 2: Industry, but I wasn't like famous like this, this is crazy,

446
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 2: like you know, when you become a housewife. So anyway,

447
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 2: so Peter Thomas. Shout out to Peter, but he did

448
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 2: throw some shade and say that you know.

449
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: Exactly.

450
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 2: And then as far as Nanie, I'm sure the fans

451
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: myth thought that you know or whatever, and that's fine.

452
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 2: When I came onto the show, I was pretty much

453
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 2: given Nini.

454
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: Like Nini was like, we're like, okay, you're gonna be.

455
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 2: Friends with me, and we actually had only met like once,

456
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: and I'm so glad that we can break the four

457
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: wall now and just like tell people how the show works.

458
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: And I think that's one of the best things that

459
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 2: happened actually when I went on girls trip, that we

460
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 2: could just say, hey, you know, this is what it is,

461
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 2: this is what's happening and whatever.

462
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: So but we went to Papado's and I remember she

463
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: was like huge, like she was like blowing up, like

464
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: she was like she was the breakout star of the show.

465
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: And I, as God would have it, was, you know,

466
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: they placed me with.

467
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 2: Nini, So I felt like, to be honest, I did

468
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: feel like there was some safety under the wings of

469
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 2: being with Nini on the show because literally all I

470
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: had to really do was just be myself and she

471
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 2: really just had to be Nini and I was just

472
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: her friend. I was she would have to bring everything

473
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 2: back to me. So I did feel some comfortability like, Okay, well,

474
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 2: you know, Niani's not going anywhere anytime soon.

475
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: She started the show.

476
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 2: So if I'm with if I'm our best girlfriend, then

477
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 2: that gives me some you know, some kind of safety

478
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: because you know, we we shoot so much together. So

479
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 2: I did I did feel that for sure. So I

480
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: always would give you know, my props to Nini as well.

481
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 5: No, we will too.

482
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 3: And speaking of props, so she recently did an interview

483
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 3: and someone complimented, you sing your beautiful and her response was, oh,

484
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 3: really have you seen her in person?

485
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 5: I'm sure you brought U saw the video.

486
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: Everyone was sending it to me, as.

487
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 5: Did you say that as shade?

488
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: I take that as shade, of course, but I also

489
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 2: know Nini, and you know, at this point, I'm just

490
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 2: not surprised, you know, when she throws shade my way, certainly.

491
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 2: You know, sometimes people don't see you as you see yourself.

492
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 2: I think I look great in person, and.

493
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 5: Thank you.

494
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: And you know what's so funny our fans, and I'm

495
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: sure the other ladies get it.

496
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 2: As well, like when I tell you, every time I

497
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 2: meet a fan, the first thing they say is, oh

498
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: my god, you're so much prettier in person than you're

499
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 2: on TVs. And that's the funny thing. And I'm sure

500
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 2: she's gotten the same thing as well. But you know,

501
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: I'm just in a place in my life, Carlos, where

502
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 2: I just choose not to participate in anything that's negative energy,

503
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: Like I'm really in Cynthia protection mode over here, and

504
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 2: I'm very focused on my acting career and this next

505
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 2: chapter as I you know, leave a marriage and start

506
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: rebuilding my life.

507
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: It's all love over here. You know. I just laughed,

508
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: and I mean, was I shocked?

509
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: No, But you know she did reach out to me

510
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 2: and and you know, offer to have drinks or whatever

511
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 2: and said she was sorry about my marriage.

512
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: So I hope that that was genuine. But I don't

513
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: know we're gonna be having them drinks anytime soon, but.

514
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 2: Since right after she would right show it like you know,

515
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: you know, shaded me for no reason.

516
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: So whatever, I.

517
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 3: Hate you interrupt, but stay tuned for more. We'll be

518
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:20,480

Speaker 3: the King, and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into

520
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 3: the show. You are always a classy woman, and you

521
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: talked about, you know, leaving your marriage and as someone

522
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,719
Speaker 3: who knows you personally and saw you fight for your

523
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 3: marriage with Peter against your own.

524
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 5: Mom and sister.

525
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,480

Speaker 2: Sorry, yes, well I'm on the customer PI gonna Okay.

528
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 3: The Aquarius is the love side. The pisces are the

529
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 3: sex side, because you're also freaking the sheets according to Peter.

530
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 5: So anyway, so okay, we I just want to offer

Speaker 5: To you, and you take a hile seriously.

535
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 3: And I've got the pleasure of meeting Mike Hill because

536
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 3: I was on his network and he has interviewed me

537
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 3: and he's been nothing but sweet and nice, and Mike,

538
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 3: if you're listening, high and I love you too. A

539
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 3: lot of people Cynthia have said things like, Cynthia, girl,

540
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 3: you didn't see the red flags. I mean, the man

541
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 3: wrote in his memoir how he was never faithful to

542
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 3: a girlfriend of his his ex wives. You know, experance

543
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 3: all these things, did you. How do you feel when

544
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 3: people say, Cynthia, the red flags were there and you

545
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 3: chose to ignore them.

546
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 2: Well, what I say to that, Carlos is, you know,

547
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 2: people don't know what's all the ins and outs of

548
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 2: someone else's marriage.

549
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. This is my second time

550
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: being married, and.

551
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 2: Of course, like I take people as they are, So

552
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: I mean, there were red flags with Peter, but I

553
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 2: still married him.

554
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

555
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 2: I think people are going to have red flags, But

556
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: at the same time, I'm a loving woman.

557
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm a forgiving woman again. I meet people where.

558
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 2: They are, and I think that, you know, when I

559
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 2: went with Mike, when I decided to be with Mike,

560
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 2: when I fell in love with Mike, I felt like

561
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 2: whatever was going on in his past, that was his past,

562
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 2: that has nothing to do is how, nothing to do

563
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: with how he's going to show up with me. And

564
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: you know, we had an incredible, incredible years together. We honestly,

565
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 2: honestly did. And to be completely transparent, I still very

566
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 2: much love Mike Hill.

567
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm still healing.

568
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 2: You know, you guys saw the announcement, but we're still

569
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: Like I thought I was gonna be with this man forever,

570
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 2: and I believe that he felt like he was going

571
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 2: to be with me forever as well, and we just

572
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: made the adult decision because you know, my life, his life,

573
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 2: my happiness, His happiness is important. I'm fifty five years old,

574
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 2: maybe twenty five thirty more summers left in my life,

575
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, So it's very important for

576
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 2: me to to have peace and to be happy, and

577
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 2: we just got to a place where, you know, I'm

578
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 2: going through a new transition with a job. You know,

579
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 2: I don't technically have a job yet, you know what

580
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,959
Speaker 2: I'm saying. But I'm working hard, I'm growing as an actress.

581
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 2: You know, I'm a hustler, I'm a boss, I'm all

582
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: of those things. You know, he's in transition with his life.

583
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 2: You know, we just met at a place where we

584
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 2: would just be better off his friends at this point,

585
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 2: and that's just honestly what it is. But one thing

586
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 2: I do want to clear up, though, what I do

587
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 2: see and I don't like is when people say, girl,

588
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: just give it up. You've been married like multiple times.

589
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: You've been you know, you know how many times you

590
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 2: go get married. Maybe you're just not the marriage type.

591
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 2: Maybe you're just you know, you know, you just should

592
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 2: just be with someone. You should never get married again.

593
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: Let me just first say, I've been married twice. That's

594
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 2: not multiple, that's two times. Okay, It's not like I've

595
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: been married like ten times and nothing worked out for me.

596
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: Twice and the first marriage, God, can you get some

597
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 2: grace on the first one. You don't know what you're

598
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 2: doing the first time you get married. This is your

599
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 2: first marriage, and I learned a lot from that marriage,

600
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 2: and I took a lot of wisdom into my second marriage,

601
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: and I didn't make the same mistakes in my second

602
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 2: marriage that I made in my first marriage. So I

603
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: say to the people that say that, let's just get

604
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 2: it the fact straight. I've been married twice and I

605
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 2: am a piscis woman. I am a lover of love.

606
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 5: I love with my heart.

607
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 2: I jump in both feet first, and that is my

608
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 2: choice because this is my life and I'm the only

609
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 2: person that has to live in and I have no regrets.

610
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: I have no regrets with.

611
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 2: Leon, with Peter, with anyone that I have given my

612
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 2: life to, and.

613
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: I am looking so forward to my future.

614
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: I'm still very optimistic and hopeful of funding love again,

615
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 2: however it comes. If it's a boot a bay a marriage,

616
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 2: I don't know what it's going to be, but I'm

617
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 2: here for it and I'm ready to receive it whenever,

618
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 2: whenever God wants me to have that.

619
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: And I think it's crazy to think that someone isn't

620
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: deserving of, you know, figuring it out. You know what

621
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

622
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 2: It's like I mean, jay Log can get married how

623
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 2: many times she wants to, and it seems to be

624
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: working out for her.

625
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 5: Okay, now that's knowledge. Get married twice, now that's that's

626
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 5: tea and no. And the thing about is this.

627
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 3: You are a woman who's been famous and successful since

628
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 3: you were fifteen years old, and I don't think people

629
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 3: understand that that you have always been independent and when

630
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 3: you when you go through life, you go through these

631
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 3: abbs and flows because at the end of the day,

632
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 3: you're trying to figure things out. And a lot of people,

633
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 3: even when they tweet, think Cynthia like girl. We saw

634
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 3: the tweets with Mike hil He was blurting, what do

635
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 3: you say to people who think that infidelity was a

636
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 3: part of this decision?

637
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: Well, I say to.

638
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: Them, first and foremost, it's none of It's none of

639
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: their business, to be honest, you know, marriages can survive

640
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,959
Speaker 2: infidelity number one. And I'm not you know, I'm at

641
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 2: age where most of my friends are either married or divorced.

642
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 2: And believe me, the ones that are married have gone

643
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: through a lot and they decided to stay. And worse

644
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 2: than infidelity sometimes, you know, you know, children have been.

645
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: Born in marriages and people still decide to stay. So

646
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: with that said, what I say is live your life,

647
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: and live your life because you're the only person that

648
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: can live it.

649
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 2: And you know, it's like, whatever my cross is the bears,

650
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 2: it's my own personal decision to deal with whatever I

651
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 2: choose to deal with because it is my life and

652
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 2: to each his own. You know, love is love and

653
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, what you choose, what

654
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: works for you, what works for your marriage, is completely

655
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 2: your choice and your option.

656
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 3: And to get away from the rumors, this is my

657
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 3: last question about that. One of the things that people

658
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 3: have said to say things because I want I want

659
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 3: you to use this to be able to debunk all

660
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 3: these rumors, and because you're not close friends, I want

661
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 3: to give you the opportunity.

662
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: To do that.

663
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 3: One of the things that people have said is, you know,

664
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 3: Mike Hill wrote in his book how when the Steve

665
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 3: Harvey show happened, it was an opportunity for him to

666
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 3: cross over in the entertainment space. And obviously you're somebody

667
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 3: who is on the biggest reality show in the world,

668
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 3: and people felt that after you weren't as back. That's

669
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 3: also a reason why the marriage didn't work because he

670
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 3: no longer had the show to promote himself.

671
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So.

672
00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: Two part question as far as him going onto the

673
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 2: Steve Harvey Show as an opportunity to get exposure, whatever

674
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:09,439
Speaker 2: his reasons were probably so you know what I'm saying,

675
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 2: I didn't know him, he didn't know me. You know

676
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 2: it is it was a national TV show.

677
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: So whoever, whatever his decision was, I don't.

678
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 2: Have an issue with that, you know what I'm saying.

679
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 2: So if that's that was his reason, and that probably

680
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 2: was his reason.

681
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: Okay, fine, so be it. People you know want to

682
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: get exposure. That's what it is. He didn't know.

683
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 2: First of all, I didn't know if I was going

684
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 2: to pick him, so you know, it could have went

685
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: that was, you know, two of the very nice men

686
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 2: there to choose from, So.

687
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: He didn't know.

688
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 2: So good for him that he's you know, trying to

689
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 2: use whatever platforms he can to get.

690
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: Exposure, to get exposure to do the things that he's

691
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,240
Speaker 1: trying to do with his life. Okay.

692
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 2: The other part, in terms of me going back not

693
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 2: going back to the show. You know, it's interesting because

694
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 2: a lot of people, a lot of people were saying oh,

695
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 2: you know, you know, she probably didn't go back because

696
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 2: Mike didn't want her to go back.

697
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: One of the things I will say to you is

698
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: I've been married on this show twice. Okay, I will

699
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: never say that this show breaks up marriages. I won't

700
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: say that, But what I will say, I will.

701
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 2: Say it's very hard to start a marriage and be

702
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 2: on a show like this because you have to give

703
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 2: so much of your marriage and you're still really you know,

704
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 2: getting to know like the person that you're married to.

705
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 2: And I feel like, you know, once you actually become

706
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 2: married and become husband and wife, that's really you know,

707
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 2: where it becomes more sacred than just dating. And some

708
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 2: things are just just that, some things are sacred. So

709
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 2: with that said and done, with everything that I went,

710
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 2: I gave so much with my marriage with Peter. Honestly,

711
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 2: you know me not really you know, wanting to share

712
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 2: that or feeling like I wanted to share that once

713
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 2: Mike and I became married. Really was just me protecting

714
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 2: myself and my marriage. But I will say Mike had nothing.

715
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: To do with me not going back.

716
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: If anything, if I had to lean one way to

717
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 2: the other, I think he was happy that I did that,

718
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 2: I didn't go back, to be honest with you, and

719
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 2: he was the one that was always saying, hey, you

720
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 2: know what, I feel like, you're definitely someone that can

721
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 2: transition into other things. You know you've done You've done

722
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 2: such a great job on this platform. You know, you

723
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: have a great relationship with the network. You know, you're

724
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 2: Cynthia Bla you you you know, you still have so

725
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 2: much that you can do with your career. So if

726
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 2: it went one way or the other, it was definitely

727
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 2: Mike pretty much encouraging me to believe in myself to

728
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 2: take that leap of faith after eleven years of being

729
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: a consistent housewife on the Real Housewives of Atlanta to

730
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: do other things, which which was something that I personally

731
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 2: wanted to do.

732
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: And in terms of me not going back.

733
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 2: To the show, let's get this straight too, because I

734
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 2: know a lot of times I think I saw like

735
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 2: a clip of one of your podcasts.

736
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 1: You know a lot of times when people get fired

737
00:36:58,800 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: from the show, they'll you.

738
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 2: Know, the network always gives them grace to just you know,

739
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,959
Speaker 2: put whatever narrative they want out, which is very nice

740
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 2: of them to do that. Okay, I've always been very

741
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 2: transparent with how my eleven year run run on The

742
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 2: Real House West Atlanta ended. For me, I was honestly

743
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 2: in a place where I just didn't feel like I

744
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 2: really felt like I had that full circle moment, Like

745
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 2: I just didn't I wasn't having that much fun with

746
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 2: it anymore.

747
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: I felt like I didn't really have a lot to give.

748
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 2: I did want to like just kind of get to

749
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 2: know my husband off camera and just spend time with

750
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 2: him and not have to shoot because we shoot a

751
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 2: lot in Atlanta, like it's a very rigorous schedule.

752
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: So for me, that was that was my thought process.

753
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 2: So when The Real House was Atlanta did start back up,

754
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 2: I got a call from my girl of Rain and

755
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 2: basically they were interested in me coming back as a friend,

756
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 2: which which I actually entertained to be honest, because this

757
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 2: is how the friend games changed. People are housewives one

758
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 2: season friends one season. I mean you you were like

759
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 2: definitely instrumental and like, you know, some housewives starting off

760
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 2: as housewives.

761
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 1: And becoming friends. But by the time you know, you know,

762
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: the season wrapped up or whatever, so you know, they

763
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: do it in all the other franchises.

764
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 2: Like the friend thing is not a bad deal, Like,

765
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 2: it's not like I know people though, you know, you

766
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 2: have to be a housewife. I've seen people be housewives,

767
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,280
Speaker 2: be friends, they'd be housewives again.

768
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: Be friends again.

769
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 2: It's like it's involved. The show has evolved so much

770
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 2: in terms of what a friend of the show means

771
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 2: exactly exactly. Now she's back as a full time housewife

772
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 2: and that's that's great. So I love that Number one

773
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 2: of the network gave me that option because I really thought, well,

774
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 2: maybe this is a way because although I had my

775
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 2: reasons for feeling like it wasn't right for me to

776
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 2: go back to the show, I definitely felt like, you know,

777
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 2: it was kind of hard to cut the core and

778
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 2: just be like, Okay, I'm just done with housewives. So

779
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 2: I was like, maybe the friend brow is a way

780
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 2: I can just shoot sometimes and still be.

781
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: Able to focus on acting and focus on my marriage.

782
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 1: But what I realized is really, you know the friends,

783
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, they do a lot of work too. Friends

784
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: gotta go on the trips, the friends. The friends still

785
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: have to show up everything. And I was like inflence money.

786
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 1: So I was like, well, now, okay, once I think

787
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: about like, unless I can just pop up like you

788
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: know three times in the season.

789
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 2: Then I'm pretty much working, except I'm just not a housewife,

790
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 2: and you know, I'm just making a smaller check. So

791
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 2: I just thought, you know what, I'm gonna go ahead.

792
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 2: I appreciate this good offer, but.

793
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to gracefully decline on that one. Okay, And

794
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: but it was but it's great. I did think about that,

795
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: but I was never like, oh, I was fired. I

796
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: guess I don't know what that's called.

797
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 5: Maybe yeah, No, it's a thing.

798
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 3: It's a thing, because obviously I said something like these

799
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 3: are the housewives who quit or whatever, and listen, I

800
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 3: will admit when I'm wrong, because everything's about wordplay.

801
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 5: And at the end of the day, you weren't fired.

802
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 3: You were offered a lesser row than a peach holder

803
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 3: and you chose not to accept it, and that doesn't

804
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 3: mean you got fired. So I want to make that clear,

805
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 3: and you're right about that. But I want to ask

806
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 3: you this though, on some honest shit.

807
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 5: Did it as someone who has watched you give at

808
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,439
Speaker 5: bird read thing to this show.

809
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 3: You gave every god she gave, every piece of her

810
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 3: life to the real Hospital of Atlanta. Did it ever

811
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 3: come a moment when you felt like the moment you

812
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 3: were told to be, the moment you were asked to

813
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 3: be a friend of. Did you have a moment where

814
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 3: you were like, well, damn, Like I gave everything to

815
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 3: the show and you got some chicks on this show

816
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 3: who ain't given half of what I gave and they get.

817
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 5: To still be on.

818
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Honestly, it always feels good to be wanted. Okay,

819
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 2: it always feels good to have that. You know, I've

820
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 2: never not gotten that letter. I've never not gotten that

821
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 2: letter early. Okay, I well those let us go out.

822
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 2: My letters usually at the top of the list. Okay,

823
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 2: let's just be very clear. I've never had the network.

824
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: Like you guys have never called me and said, hey,

825
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: we need to talk to you. We're not sure if

826
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: we want to bring you back. You're not.

827
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 2: There was never a point in any of the seasons

828
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 2: where anyone, you know, the Bravo people were like, hey,

829
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 2: well you know you're not bringing en up.

830
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: Well I never I.

831
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 5: Never had to be.

832
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: They never had to like talk to me about like

833
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: me delivering or anything like that.

834
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 2: So I've just had like eleven really very successful years

835
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 2: where I didn't hear from the network at all. I

836
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 2: just got my letter back and I went back to work.

837
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 2: If anything, they rewarded me in other small ways.

838
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: But like, you know, I did so much.

839
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: I did many commercials with them, like I was always

840
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 2: you know, my daughter Noel has done work with them

841
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 2: like I was, you know, really that girl that I

842
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 2: felt like although I was in the star of the

843
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 2: show or if I never like, people never looked at

844
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 2: me that way. You know, I never said next day Dad,

845
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:05,919
Speaker 2: never was in the middle or any of those things.

846
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: I felt like the network always gave me other things

847
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 2: to say, we appreciate you, okay. And I don't tak

848
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 2: take those things for granted because they were amazing, amazing

849
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 2: spots for me for me to get.

850
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: And and you know, you know very you know, great

851
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: money as well. So I didn't look at it like

852
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: a slap in the face or anything like that.

853
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 2: I just kind of looked at it like, all right, Yeah,

854
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 2: in a perfect world, you know, nobody wants you to

855
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: break up with them. You want to break you know,

856
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 2: you don't want them to break them with you. You

857
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 2: want to break them with them even if you want

858
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 2: to leave. You're like, can I just break up with you? Though, key,

859
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 2: just send me my letter and let me just tell

860
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 2: you I don't want to come back, you know, Can

861
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 2: you just give me that, like we both are gonna

862
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 2: get what we wanted to end. You know what I'm saying,

863
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna come back, but at least I could say,

864
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 2: you know what.

865
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: I You know I was asked, and you know I didn't.

866
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: You know whatever. You don't understand. It feels good to

867
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: cut it off with with someone before they cut it

868
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: off with you.

869
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 2: But honestly, at the end of the day, because my

870
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 2: heart was so heavy about even coming back in any

871
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 2: capacity at that point, I was just I don't know

872
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 2: if I ever would have cut the cut the cord

873
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 2: if they had sent me a housewife letter back, because

874
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 2: I think I would.

875
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: Have been because you know, Mama was making a cheap

991
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 3: the most underrated housewife. And as somebody who has worked

992
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 3: closely with you, I know that time and effort you

993

00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 3: housewives history will always be the season six cast of

1000
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 3: The Real Housewives of Atlanta, because I know first hand

1001
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 3: each six of those women brought some excellence and something

1002
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 3: great to the show. And because season six was the

1003
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 3: greatest season of all time is because of those six women,

1004
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:48,239

1020
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: You were like, this is everything, bitch. I was like

1021

1022
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,200

Speaker 2: know you guys don't ever get enough credit, but I'll

1027
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 2: say this on behalf of the cast that I've worked with,

1028
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 2: the most of the Real Housewives at Atlanta, we all

1029
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 2: were better because we had a Carlos King in our ear.

1030
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 2: In a lot of ways, we really really were because

1031
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 2: there were days where I just honestly was like I

1032
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 2: just can't do it. Especially my first season, we were

1033
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 2: just losing everything. I was so stressed out, I was

1034
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 2: so tired, and just I just didn't know how to

1035
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 2: keep going. And I was planning this wedding and we

1036
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 2: didn't have any money, and you would just come to

1037
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 2: me and you would just take your little EarPods out

1038
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 2: and you would just hold my hand and you would

1039
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 2: say you can do this, you can do this.

1040
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: And like in that moment in time, Carlos, I was like,

1041
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 1: that's all. Like it was like, God, tell me I

1042
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: can do it. I was like, okay, Carlos Things, I

1043
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: can do it.

1044
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 2: We don't have no money, I don't know I have

00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 2: a pay Tony Conway, I don't know what you know.
