Speaker 1: Real people, real celebrity real joined the Breakfast Morning everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ, Envy, Angeline, Charlomagne and Guy. We all the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club special guests in the building this morning. Tammy Roman, Hey, Hey,
Speaker 1: what's happening? What's going on? Yes? I happened to be
Speaker 1: watching when you announced that you were pregnant. Yes, which
Speaker 1: was shocking to a lot of people. Yes, you can't tell. Okay,
Speaker 1: when I sit down, you can't tell? Shall I stand
Speaker 1: for yeah? Let's see? Okay, gruss you know a lot.
Speaker 1: It's normal for a lot of girls nowadays. It's not
Speaker 1: normal for me. You like a girl with a little guy? No, man, okay?
Speaker 1: But yeah, So I did see you guys on marriage
Speaker 1: boot Camp. Yes, that's where it all started. And your
Speaker 1: boo and he's seventeen years younger than you are. Yes, Google,
Speaker 1: Yeah you know. Charlotte, I know you were gonna be
Speaker 1: the person to say it, only because you know how
Speaker 1: much I hate that term. Cooper just feels like you
Speaker 1: know you're taking care of either like the no, but
Speaker 1: I don't take care of him. I'm not a sugar mama.
Speaker 1: That was the whole point. But no, it's not. I
Speaker 1: used to mess with the forty years. So yeah, from
Speaker 1: she used to see me a car service to pick
Speaker 1: me up. Oh yeah, I ain't doing none of that.
Speaker 1: Give me fried chicken and twinkies in a little bag. Else.
Speaker 1: She used to write me checks. She brought your love,
Speaker 1: call me what you want. I was having a good time.
Speaker 1: We were happy. That's when you were. Now I think
Speaker 1: that if a woman did that, it's a problem. But
Speaker 1: it's okay to give you classic baggage with twinkies. We're happy, okay.
Speaker 1: And so what happened? I mean her she was married,
Speaker 1: you know, Oh yeah, it was too it's to me,
Speaker 1: it's too many levels to that relationship. But no, I
Speaker 1: do not take care of Reggie. Just for the world
Speaker 1: to know it was. This pregnancy was planned. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: planned as best it could be. I mean, I never
Speaker 1: thought that I would have children again. But because he
Speaker 1: is seventeen years younger, he's never been married, he's never
Speaker 1: had children, and so, you know, what I learned our
Speaker 1: marriage boot camp was how to compromise in the relationship,
Speaker 1: and so I decided to, you know, give him what
Speaker 1: he doesn't have. He's in his twenties, yes he is,
Speaker 1: what is twenty eight eight where you met him. I
Speaker 1: met him at Carpado, no charmagne. I met him at
Speaker 1: Capados because you know, I'm a greedy chick, so I'm
Speaker 1: always out eating. Is a great excuse to keep eating? Yes,
Speaker 1: it is. I love it. Nobody says anything. Now, did
Speaker 1: you feel a way when you first met him and
Speaker 1: you knew he was that young lord? I did? I
Speaker 1: did because I was like, oh my god, he's closer
Speaker 1: to my daughter's age than mine. My oldest one will
Speaker 1: be twenty one this year, So he might try to no,
Speaker 1: but I got some friends, you know. You know what.
Speaker 1: The thing about it, though, is he's a very mature
Speaker 1: twenty eight. I will say that we're equally yoked in
Speaker 1: that sense, and so I feel like we're comparable to
Speaker 1: each other in terms of his wisdom and things that
Speaker 1: he's experienced and how his upbringing was. It's the same
Speaker 1: as mine. Did him serious though, He's like, Noah, he's
Speaker 1: too young. I'm just going he had to convince you, Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: he had to convince me. Let me that. That's the
Speaker 1: That's the perfect thing is I had to see where
Speaker 1: his mind was and what he was talking about and
Speaker 1: where he's trying to go in life and all of
Speaker 1: that stuff. Now, you also had been in a relationship
Speaker 1: when you did Basketball Watch that you chose to hide
Speaker 1: from the TV world. Did that show affect your relationship
Speaker 1: and perhaps, you know, make it work out? No, I
Speaker 1: was just with a cheater and I didn't know. And
Speaker 1: I didn't know, so I found out the hard way.
Speaker 1: Oh what's the hard way? Looking at his He had
Speaker 1: used my computer one time and left his Twitter up,
Speaker 1: and so that's how I found out. Now that's interesting
Speaker 1: because I would have thrown on the show. They would
Speaker 1: have wanted you to bring your boyfriend on, Oh they did.
Speaker 1: I just didn't feel like, you know, Basketball Wise is
Speaker 1: a different type of situation because I'm on the show
Speaker 1: because I used to be married to Kenny Anderson, right,
Speaker 1: So I just didn't feel like it would be appropriate
Speaker 1: to bring a new relationship into that situation. But you
Speaker 1: guys were married so long ago. It wasn't like it was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But I mean still at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: the reason I was on Basketball Wise is because of
Speaker 1: Kenny Anderson, and I give him. You know, if it
Speaker 1: weren't for that relationship, I wouldn't have been allowed to
Speaker 1: be on that show. You and Shannie are still cool. Yes, so,
Speaker 1: and you guys are back on Basketball Wives La, Yes,
Speaker 1: we are. I was surprised about that. Now, how did
Speaker 1: that even happen? Shawnnie called me because you know, the
Speaker 1: truth of the matter is, Miami has been the favorite
Speaker 1: in terms of the installment for Basketball Wise, LA struggles
Speaker 1: sometimes in the ratings, and Shawnee was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm in LA. You're in LA a lot of the time.
Speaker 1: Let's just you know, make some appearances on there and
Speaker 1: this show. Are you friends with any of those? No? Yes,
Speaker 1: you know heavy smoke. So I did, I said, just
Speaker 1: stopped cold turkey. I didn't stop cold turkey. I used
Speaker 1: medicine called chantics. It's a quit smoking medicine like a patch.
Speaker 1: It's a pill. It's a pill. It's a pill. You
Speaker 1: started popping molly instead of smoking, you know what. It's
Speaker 1: a pill that you know, helps you quit smoking, works
Speaker 1: on your your nervous system and things. And I take it. No,
Speaker 1: I can't take it now. I started long before we
Speaker 1: decided to get pregnant. Now, are you friends with any
Speaker 1: of these I'm not smoking. She's not smoke. Well it
Speaker 1: was hard, but you know, like three weeks in, I
Speaker 1: wasn't smoking anymore and didn't want a cigarette. Wow. Anyway,
Speaker 1: say when you used to having something in your mouth,
Speaker 1: you have to always have something in your mouth. And
Speaker 1: that's what I'm gonna at you. You come out right now,
Speaker 1: are you? Because we could hear it. I'm sure you
Speaker 1: can hear it. You can always hear two and people
Speaker 1: like I just hold it put it back here in.
Speaker 1: You don't. God, it was a fresh piece. And now
Speaker 1: your friends were any of the girls some basketball wives. La.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, and I'm not gonna say that
Speaker 1: we're friends because I don't use that term lightly. But
Speaker 1: I know Jackie. I've been in the same circles as her.
Speaker 1: I've been out at clubs with Malaysia, you know. But
Speaker 1: I wouldn't consider us friends, but I would say that
Speaker 1: we've gotten closer since the taping. Have you been watching
Speaker 1: what's going on with Drea and Orlando? I have seen
Speaker 1: that in the blogs they're on they're off again now right? Yeah.
Speaker 1: I guess he got a restraining order against her right
Speaker 1: because he wanted her to move out of his house,
Speaker 1: and I guess she was allegedly throwing things at him.
Speaker 1: And you know, threatened to put bleach in his eyes
Speaker 1: and all of that. Wow, it's that deep. Yeah, But
Speaker 1: do we believe it though? I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, this is the restanding order,
Speaker 1: this is his claim. She hasn't said anything about it yet,
Speaker 1: So this is what's out there, okay, because I mean
Speaker 1: they're so on again, off again all the time. And
Speaker 1: I know there was some scuttle butt about her trying
Speaker 1: to have her own show, so scut I've never heard
Speaker 1: that some fodder, some fodder, so you think maybe this
Speaker 1: might be her trying to pop. I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, you know, it's too many times, you know,
Speaker 1: and every time they do something they have to go
Speaker 1: to the blogs with it. I mean, like y'all not together,
Speaker 1: just fade away from each other and just let somebody
Speaker 1: ask what happened to Dan Orlando? What about you getting
Speaker 1: your own show? Because I was thinking, is she gonna
Speaker 1: do Basketball Wives La and then do her own show
Speaker 1: with her and Neo Boo and Baby on the Way. Well,
Speaker 1: quite honestly, we've been working on that for about two
Speaker 1: years now, and each time it just doesn't seem like
Speaker 1: the right time for me. I mean, if I decide
Speaker 1: to let the world into this whole baby having situation
Speaker 1: with me and Reggie, then maybe. So your life has
Speaker 1: been in front of the world's a lot because obviously
Speaker 1: you started off on the Real World right right, and
Speaker 1: then you did basketball, wives you did you know? Marriage
Speaker 1: boot Cam? Now you're back on basketball. Did I miss
Speaker 1: anything you had got out of the reality show round way?
Speaker 1: I had gotten out of it, but now it's a
Speaker 1: different time, and that is what TV is. Unfortunately, there's
Speaker 1: not a lot of scripted programming, especially for African Americans.
Speaker 1: Not to get all into that conversation, but reality TV
Speaker 1: is what's on TV right now. So if you want
Speaker 1: to keep working, you can't be a TV personality and
Speaker 1: not be on TV. What about Evalent show? Have you
Speaker 1: checked out her show yet? I have not, have you?
Speaker 1: It was only been one episode so far, but I
Speaker 1: did DVR and I do plan to watch it that one.
Speaker 1: So you have not, no, not yet, But I'm going
Speaker 1: to have you. Charlomagne, absolutely, you know she had a show. Really,
Speaker 1: I thought that was just a ya. I thought she
Speaker 1: was crying on it, Ayanna, So who do you still
Speaker 1: keep in contact? We beside Shawanny from Basketball Voice just Race. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Royce for the most part, I see her. Baby. Daddy's
Speaker 1: been in the blogs a lot lately too. He's always
Speaker 1: in the blogs. He's always in the box. He's always
Speaker 1: doing something. I mean, you know, some people like it.
Speaker 1: I personally don't like being in the blox, you know.
Speaker 1: I feel like, unless it's really something valuable, I don't
Speaker 1: consider some of the things that are on the blogs news.
Speaker 1: Does it concern you that perhaps when you first met Reggie, oh,
Speaker 1: is he trying to be I mean, because um, you
Speaker 1: know celebrity I've been on. Did I think that? Did
Speaker 1: you think that at all? Ever? No, I never thought
Speaker 1: that because he didn't know who I was when we met.
Speaker 1: So he just treated me real like, you know, yeah whatever,
Speaker 1: you know. I think he did that just to get
Speaker 1: it worked. Yeah, I could, and it worked. He's from Houston.
Speaker 1: How do your girls like him? They love him? They
Speaker 1: love them, yeah, they you know. I mean like it's
Speaker 1: really a good adjusted, blended family. I mean, people would
Speaker 1: think that my daughters would be like, oh, mom, you
Speaker 1: know he's so much younger, he's closer to our age,
Speaker 1: or you know, we could be in college with him
Speaker 1: if he But my daughters are just like, he makes
Speaker 1: you happy, and we want to see our mom happy,
Speaker 1: so they're happy for me. Is it true that you
Speaker 1: had a heart attack from poor dieting? I did really,
Speaker 1: like what kind of heart attack? Like a big one? No,
Speaker 1: there are levels two heart attacks. But I had a
Speaker 1: mini heart attack and uh it was it was due
Speaker 1: to diet and smoking. And I'm also a diabetic and
Speaker 1: so you know, those are all the things that I'm
Speaker 1: worried about with this pregnancy. Is just trying to do
Speaker 1: the right thing so that you know where were you
Speaker 1: when it was happening? Houston? Wow? At the crib? Wow? Yep, yep,
Speaker 1: that's crazy. I remember reading that you would rush to
Speaker 1: the hospital and I was like, yes, yep, that's what happened.
Speaker 1: Just so do you consider like people that you did
Speaker 1: these shows like Royce is your real friends? Showing is
Speaker 1: your friend in real life? Like something like that happens.
Speaker 1: They call you right away and they're like, girl, what happened?
Speaker 1: Are you okay? You're saying is that what I based
Speaker 1: friendship on? You know? I'm saying, are they your real friends?
Speaker 1: Like they called? Yes? I watched Basketball Wise and I
Speaker 1: saw him. Alasiah was upset that Drea didn't even reach
Speaker 1: out to her when yeah, yeah, I did see that.
Speaker 1: I did see that. I think that if people really
Speaker 1: genuinely care about you, that I mean, like, I have
Speaker 1: people that I know in passing that reached out and
Speaker 1: were like, you know, I hope you're okay. I heard
Speaker 1: about the situation. So the people that I feel that
Speaker 1: I've allowed into my space enough to consider them a friend, definitely,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping they reach out. And I think that's what
Speaker 1: Malaysia was going through. Okay. And then I just want
Speaker 1: to ask you one last thing about reality TV. There's
Speaker 1: so much Like Lila was on here and she was saying,
Speaker 1: it's really difficult to be taken seriously in acting during
Speaker 1: a reality show. So that's why she stopped. That's why
Speaker 1: she stopped her show. Yeah, that's why she stopped her show.
Speaker 1: Now for you, because I know you act. Also, do
Speaker 1: you feel like it hurts you when it comes to acting?
Speaker 1: I definitely think that it hurts me because unfortunately, there
Speaker 1: are a lot of new casting directors, even though I
Speaker 1: have been doing this for like fourteen years. Those casting directors,
Speaker 1: some of them aren't in the business anymore. So now
Speaker 1: the casting directors of new only know me from basketball wise,
Speaker 1: they don't even know that I can act, So it
Speaker 1: is difficult at times. But you know, I just if
Speaker 1: there's an audition that comes through and it works for me,
Speaker 1: you know, I go out and hopefully I get it,
Speaker 1: just like I did this new pilot called The Assist
Speaker 1: that stars Nick Young and Brook Valentine and a young
Speaker 1: lady named Paris Phillips. You know, when the opportunities are
Speaker 1: out there and I'm able to audition, I go in
Speaker 1: and I just do what I need to do so
Speaker 1: that show is picked up in everything The Assist, Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: good Holly Berry, yes, extant um, CBS, okay, Yeah, but
Speaker 1: now the story's going on and my character is no longer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's been a blessing for you because you have
Speaker 1: been able to work still constantly. I think people need
Speaker 1: to respect my hustle because I'm one of the few
Speaker 1: people who's been on TV for about twenty one years consistently.
Speaker 1: I mean, you might know me from Basketball, Wives or whatever,
Speaker 1: but there are a lot of people who do shows
Speaker 1: and they fade away and you never hear from them again.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you joining us Marriage boot Camp Fridays at
Speaker 1: nine on TV and also Basketball White Sundays. Yes, that
Speaker 1: lives at the house. Yes, he's not gay. No, and
Speaker 1: that you don't have a problem with that. No. Wow,
Speaker 1: you're a good mother. Good mom. You gotta must have
Speaker 1: cameras everywhere in the house. No, we don't. I just

Speaker 1: you trust him? Yes? I do. Okay, you know you
Speaker 1: got a penis, right, Yes, I do. I know he does.
Speaker 1: He uses it quite often, just not all my daughters
Speaker 1: to bring his
