1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: I had Reality TV PTSD. I was traumatized. The thought

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: of the whole process all over again was a little traumatic.

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I felt comfortable because with you,

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: I felt safer.

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 2: I felt like, Okay, this is gonna be real.

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna have drama, We're gonna have our ups and downs,

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: but at least it's gonna be real.

Speaker 4: the leading lady a Love and Marriage DC, Monique Samuels.

30
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: When it comes to Monique Samuel's.

31
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 4: I've always been a fan of that woman.

32
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 3: And let me tell you why.

33
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 4: I remember watching season two of The Real House Sposer

34
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 4: Potomac because season one wasn't great, No, Shay, it wasn't.

35
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 4: And what was so interesting about season two was Monique

36
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 4: period point and the blank, because she was so dynamic,

37
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 4: she was so present, and for me, she was somebody

38
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 4: who I felt like, Yes, she represents wealth, she represents class,

39
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 4: she represents a woman who's able to hold her own

40
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 4: against Giselle Bryant.

41
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: And I've been a fan ever since.

42
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 4: When she left the Real House Spots of Potomac, it

43
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 4: was a sad day for us Bravo fans because Monique

44
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 4: was such a great addition to that franchise. So when

45
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 4: she left, I was sad. I splint in her DMS.

46
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 4: And what you're going to hear in this conversation with

47
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 4: Monique Samuel's is the fact that a friendship was burnt

48
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 4: after a destruction that happened with her experience on the

49
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 4: Real Housewives of Potomac. So I can't wait for you

50
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 4: all to listen to this insightful interview with one of

51
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 4: the architects of the successful Real Housewives of Potomac franchise,

52
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 4: Monique Samuels. You are back starring on my franchise that

53
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: I created, Love and Marriage DC. You are such a

54
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 4: fantastic personality, star woman, business woman, mother.

55
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: Wife, all those things.

56
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 4: But before we get into your brand new show, let's

57
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 4: talk about why did you decide to leave The Real

58
00:03:58,480 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: Housewives of Potomac.

59
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So, reality TV is something that I've grown to love.

60
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: I actually enjoy it the mystery of actually living your

61
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: real life and then going through the whole process of

62
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: filming and then being entertained by seeing what they do

63
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: with all the footage.

64
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: You know, So I really enjoyed it.

65
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: Even at times where I was getting frustrated or feeling

66
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: like my story wasn't really being told properly. I still

67
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: enjoyed the whole process. I enjoyed the entertainment side of

68
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: it all, and I did enjoy that most people who

69
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: watched the show still got a pretty good idea of

70
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: who I was as a person. Right, So, when I

71
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: joined reality TV, my sole purpose was I want to

72
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: show black love. I want to show a black family

73
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: who doesn't have it all together. But we're a real

74
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: representation of what black love looks like and how it

75
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: can last, it can survive, It has its ups and downs.

76
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: We have beautiful children that were raising and this is

77
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: what it is. Well, when it got to a point

78
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: where who so many things. So when the real hate

79
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: starts happening off camera, that hate that's on camera, you

80
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: think is like, okay, we are filming the show, so

81
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: I can let that slide. But once you start finding

82
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: out things that are happening outside the show, even after

83
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: we've wrapped certain things and being said, and people are

84
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: coming together trying to manipulate and mastermind some type of plot.

85
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: Once that starts happening, that's when it gets really ugly

86
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: and you're like, wait, hold on, what are we doing here?

87
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: You know, so it was like off camera, behind the

88
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: scenes issues.

89
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 2: It was also just the production the network.

90
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: There were issues that were coming from all over that

91
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: ultimately led me to say, you know what, this is

92
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: too much and I need to quit. I remember filming Reunion,

93
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: my last reunion. The day that we arrived to the hotel,

94
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: we then found out that I was put in the

95
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: wrong hotel purposely. Yes, yes, they put me in a

96
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: wrong hotel, which when we got there, I said, this

97
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: isn't the caliber hotel that we usually would stay in.

98
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 3: It in a three star hotel.

99
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 2: It was more like two point eight stars. Yes, yes

100
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 2: it was.

101
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: It was intense to the point where as soon as

102
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: my husband and I had gotten a room, I immediately

103
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: pulled out my diffuser and started putting oils in it

104
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: and started getting the room to smell good, because I'm like,

105
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: this is just weird. If it weren't for the fact

106
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: that Karen and I have a genuine love for each

107
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: other and wanted to see each other once we arrived,

108
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: I would not have known that I was in the

109
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: wrong hotel until the day of reunion, which we're up

110
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: at like four or five in the morning, so that

111
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: means nobody would have been answering that phone. I would

112
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: not have known I was in the wrong hotel. I

113
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: would have been coming down to the third floor, like

114
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: they said over our conference call, and I would have

115
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: been like, well, where is everybody?

116
00:06:58,760 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: I had no idea.

117
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: So it was almost like that situation that Nini talked

118
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: about with her show, where everybody had on white and

119
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: she was told to wear black, and it wasn't until

120
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: she sat down that she.

121
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: Realized, wait, I have the wrong darn color on, you know.

122
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: So it was just it was insane.

123
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: And not only was I I was put at the

124
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: wrong hotel, I was then giving a bunch of lives

125
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: and excuses as to why I wasn't at the proper hotel.

126
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 4: What do they say to you in your inquiry why

127
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 4: you weren't at the same hotel as the cast?

128
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 1: They said, because I was bringing to Challa my parent,

129
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: which they asked me to bring. But I told them,

130
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: I said, no, this is the hotel y'all always said

131
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: that I was at from the very beginning. I said,

132
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: I have email proof, and you know, I pulled out

133
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: them receipts and sent the emails as I always do,

134
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: and I said, this is what I was always told

135
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: before y'all even knew T'Challa was coming. So I said,

136
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: that's some BS. Then they said, oh, the hotel sold out.

137
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: I said, okay, hold on one second. Called the hotel

138
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: they had rooms available and everything. I said, can you

139
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: go ahead and book me three rooms because I have

140
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: my glad with me? So I said, book me three

141
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: rooms for tonight. We'll be there in two seconds. I said, also,

142
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: I have my parent with me, who is very well trained.

143
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: Is it okay if he comes as well? And she

144
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: said yes, no problem. You'll just have to fill out

145
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: a form and you get here. They told me, oh, well,

146
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: the parent can't come, and that's why they were trying

147
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: to come up with all sorts of excuses, and of

148
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: course I put them on pause. I called did my

149
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,239
Speaker 1: due diligence right then? And I said, these are all eyes.

150
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: The hotel is not booked. And they also said I

151
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: can bring my parent.

152
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: So what else? What you got next? What else can

153
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: you come up with? Because you're lying.

154
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: Secondly, they tried to they staged a whole scene on

155
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: the day of reunion, having a fake security guard as

156
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: if to say they were afraid of my husband and

157
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: I because we're supposed to be this aggressive couple.

158
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: You know.

159
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: There was so much that happened, But God is good.

160
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: God was on my side the entire time through it all.

161
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: I knew it was going to be a rough time

162
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: to conclude this, but I had my mindset and I'm

163
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: glad that I found out when I did that we

164
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: were at the wrong hotel, and we quickly corrected it,

165
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: because they would have completely thrown me off my game.

166
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: Had I not woken up at the right place, I

167
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: would have woke up frustrated, you know, just like trying

168
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: to figure out what's going on. I would have been frantic.

169
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: My hairstyles and my makeup artists would not have been

170
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: on their game.

171
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: We would have been late.

172
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: It would have been so many things that could have

173
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: happened that would have completely just like ruined everything. So

174
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm just grateful that what they tried to do didn't work.

175
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 4: Why do you think they supposedly tried to sabotage you?

176
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: Like, what would they have gotten out of that?

177
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 4: If you believe that that was the reason why they

178
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 4: did it.

179
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: It's called poking that bear. Even more, they wanted me

180
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: to be pissed off. They wanted me to be angry

181
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: because they needed to justify the fight. They wanted to

182
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: paint a picture as if I was this aggressive person

183
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: who was going to be and what actually happened was

184
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: they proved to be the aggressive ones. You know, once

185
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: we sat down, I was very cool, calm and collected

186
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: the whole time. You're not going to define me by

187
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: a moment. Everybody has moments, you know. So I had

188
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: a moment that I wish I could go back and correct,

189
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: but it happened, and all I can do now is

190
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: move forward. And that's what I was determined, is to

191
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: show people this is actually who I am. I went

192
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: through a moment, I dealt with it, I was accountable

193
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: for my actions, and I moved forward according to my time.

194
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to let anybody force or rush me

195
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: through my process. So when it came down even to

196
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: the apology, I did it when I was ready to

197
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: do it.

198
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 3: So that it could mean something, So it can be genuine.

199
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, so it can be genuine. But yeah,

200
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: they wanted to poke the bear. They wanted me to

201
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: come in there pissed off and going crazy. But then

202
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: after it concluded, it really showed who the crazy ones

203
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: were yelling out, screaming. They didn't show all of it,

204
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: but there was a lot of And I sat there

205
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: like this the whole time time and didn't break a sweat.

206
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 3: Sitting pretty and sitting on ready.

207
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 4: So when you talk about because one thing that people

208
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 4: don't know about reality TV is when you're on a

209
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 4: show with women, you oftentimes meet on the show, like

210
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 4: we love to say, oh, we were friends, and sometimes

211
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 4: it's true, like some reality stars on the ensemble show

212
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 4: are friends before the before the show starts, but ninety

213
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 4: percent of the time these reality stars are meeting each

214
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 4: other for the first time on camera. So you walk

215
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 4: into a situation where at the time you were friends

216
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 4: with Sharis, but everyone else were brand new to you.

217
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 4: And it did appear that Giselle was intimidated by you.

218
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 3: So when you talk about things happening on.

219
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 4: The show that you took it as Okay, this is TV, whatever,

220
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 4: I get it, let's make a good TV show, whatever.

221
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 4: But your concern was when it's spilled into your personal life.

222
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 3: And you and I never talked about this.

223
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 4: So I'm only saying this to you based on what

224
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 4: I've heard being a reality TV executive. Is you felt

225
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 4: that some of the women on the show were spreading

226
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 4: lies about you your family that at that point was

227
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 4: sort of like this is off limits, and this is

228
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 4: this is not even what I signed up for at

229
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 4: this point, like it's one thing to throw shade, but

230
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 4: when you involved these allegations of cheating and DNA and children,

231
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 4: it got to the point where it was no longer

232
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 4: making good TV. Right.

233
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: And also, let's just be clear from the very beginning,

234
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: even when it comes to Shariz, when I came onto

235
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: this show, I didn't know any of these women, you know,

236
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: So at.

237
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: The end of the day, I didn't know way No.

238
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 2: The first time I met her was at Katie's event

239
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 2: when I walked.

240
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: In Monique Battie Samuels.

241
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 4: I listen, I feel stupid because I believe that, y'all.

242
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: Damn listen.

243
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: I remember going to Wizards games, and I know who

244
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: her husband is.

245
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: I didn't even know he was married, to be honest.

246
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: But no.

247
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: So I've heard of some of these women, but I

248
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: never actually knew them or met them until I started

249
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: filming with them.

250
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 2: So, but the thing with Cherise was we.

251
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: Actually formed a very genuine sisterhood from that moment. So

252
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: I thought so, I thought. We spent a lot of

253
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: time together. And what's sad is when when I had

254
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: a friend who was actually on the show my second season,

255
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: she made a couple appearances. And I've known this woman

256
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: for like a long time, over ten years. She's the

257
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: one that started creating these rumors, and she was literally

258
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: pitching them to production, she was pitching them to cast,

259
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: and everybody knew it wasn't true. Everybody knew it wasn't true.

260
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: In fact, at the time, Chris, myself and Jose we

261
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: all worked out at the same gym.

262
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: We would see each other.

263
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: From time to time, passing by and never spoke to

264
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: each other, but we would see each other, you know.

265
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: So it was like everybody knew, but it was like, oh, okay,

266
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: this is something good that we can bring to TV,

267
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: you know.

268
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: But my where I drew.

269
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: The line was it wasn't the rumor. Everybody's going to

270
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: have rumors about them. I've had rumors about me since childhood.

271
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: It's what happens, Especially if you're a person where people

272
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: see lights or if they see something good in you,

273
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: they're always going to want to come up with something

274
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: that can possibly tear you down. So the rumors is

275
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: not what bothered me. It was once they started involving

276
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: my child. And then what really tipped the iceberg was

277
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: that last season that I was on, there were two

278
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: shows happening.

279
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: There was a social media.

280
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: Show and then there was a show on TV. So

281
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: people who followed on social media, they saw the lives.

282
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: Especially she who shall never be named, went live and

283
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: actually admitted that they were plotting and trying to figure

284
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: out a way to come up with this mess and

285
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: then put it on the show.

286
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: So that didn't come from me. I didn't say those things.

287
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: That was told by her at a point where her

288
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: and I weren't even friends, so I don't even know

289
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: if she realized what she was doing.

290
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: She was team Monique right then and didn't even know it.

291
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, so once she admitted that, my husband and

292
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: I went live in response because people were messaging us

293
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: and sending us, bloggers were reaching out.

294
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: They were like, are y'all going to address this?

295
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: It's going around and people are really starting to pay

296
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: attention to this live that's going around as being passed

297
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: around on YouTube and everything else. So I said, you

298
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: know what, me and Chris talked and we said you

299
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: know what, We'll go ahead and go live and address

300
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: everything and just put everything out there. And we told

301
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: the full story everything you need to know about everything.

302
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: We had been dealing with this woman for two years

303
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: off camera.

304
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: You know, there was a time where Giselle was trying

305
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: to say that my husband was cheating on me, but

306
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: that didn't stick.

307
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: So that never made it to the show.

308
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 4: And if you know Chris, Chris worships the ground you

309
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 4: walk on, Chris Stopher Samuel's the man I met and

310
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 4: been around. He's never going to risk losing you. And

311
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 4: that's coming from me, that man loves you. So no

312
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 4: wonder didn't stick. Because this makes me so sad because

313
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 4: one thing I appreciate about producing reality TV is the real,

314
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 4: authentic moments. And it's funny because Kenya Moore and I

315
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 4: were talking yesterday about this season of Atlanta and one

316
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 4: thing she said to me was she misses the authenticity

317
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 4: where it was nobody was playing up to the cameras

318
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 4: and I and I the reason why I loved you

319
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 4: so much when you entered season two.

320
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 3: You were so natural.

321
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 4: You were I love women who are pretty, but they

322
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 4: don't act like they are like you were. You were

323
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 4: a girl's girl and you really wanted to like experience

324
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 4: this sisterhood.

325
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,119
Speaker 3: And it was sad.

326
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 4: To see how destructive it became because one thing I

327
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 4: know working with you, and I'm going to say this

328
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 4: on the record, Monique is a star and she wants

329
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 4: to make a good TV show. She's all about Monique

330
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 4: is always like, we're on TV.

331
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 3: We're on this show. Let's be real. She gives PEPs

332
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 3: talks to the cast of DC.

333
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 4: Monique is like, look, we need to make sure we're authentic.

334
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 3: That's always been your biggest thing.

335
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 4: So I know you so well that you being a

336
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 4: part of a machine where the cast is trying to

337
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 4: make the show so great at the demise of someone's marriage,

338
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 4: I think is sad.

339
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where you draw the line, because that's not

340
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: what we're here for. It shouldn't be it shouldn't be

341
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: so malicious, Like we can make great TV and still

342
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: respect each other's boundaries, you know. So when it came

343
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: to that, I was like, why would I go back

344
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: to this? Now you have that situation, You then add

345
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: in the hotel situation. You then add in the gas

346
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: lighting that happened with the fight and the outcome of

347
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: the fight and everything else when they literally tried to

348
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: act as if I didn't get hit in the face

349
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: with a glass. So when they're yelling get off her

350
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: and let her go, I'm literally she had a broken

351
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: glass in her hands. I supposed to let her go

352
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: so she can then slice me up, like come on,

353
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: And it was just insane. It was like everything I

354
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: was saying was like, well, that didn't happen. We didn't

355
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: see that, and at the time, I never saw the footage.

356
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: So it's funny because a lot of people want me

357
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: to be really upset and angry with Andy Cohen, but

358
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: he was the one who we reached out to each

359
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: other and we had a conversation right after the fight

360
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: happened and I wanted to leave.

361
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 2: Then I was like, you know what I'm done. This

362
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: isn't while while I'm here.

363
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: I don't like who this show is turning me into,

364
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: and I would rather walk away, and Andy just said,

365
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, whatever makes you feel comfortable, you do. And

366
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: he said, if you don't want to film with the cast,

367
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 1: that's fine. If you don't want to go in the

368
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: cash Trip, that's fine. We will follow your story outside

369
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: of everything else. And you can film with who you

370
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: feel comfortable filming with. So I said, okay. So in

371
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: terms of my stance on what happened at the fight,

372
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: he said, listen, if you recall what you recall, that's

373
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: what you stand on. He said, don't switch up based

374
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: off of what other people are saying. He said, but

375
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,479
Speaker 1: if this is what you remember, then that's what you

376
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: stick to. And I'm so glad I did, because had

377
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: I gone off of what they said, I would have.

378
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 2: Never probably seen what actually really went down, you know.

379
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: So that the level of respect that I have for

380
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,239
Speaker 1: him for giving me that advice, even back then when

381
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: everybody else was trying to crucify me, I appreciate it.

382
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: And he said, just keep it real, keep it authentic,

383
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: and you stand on what you remember. And I said, okay,

384
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: that's what I'm gonna do.

385
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's the angy that I know. Like even

386
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 4: when Portia had that unfortunate incident between Hurry Kenya at

387
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 4: the season sixth reunion. You know, listen, you can say

388
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 4: what you want about Andy. I will always go on

389
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,479
Speaker 4: record saying Andy really does want to make sure that

390
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 4: the women feel safe. You know, He's not about like

391
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 4: let's continue on this road. And what was so interesting

392
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 4: about the Porsche and King situation, and I was present

393
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 4: for that one, was we allowed Porsche to leave to

394
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 4: deal with it.

395
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 3: But what you said earlier is so true.

396
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 4: It never defined her like we of course followed her reality.

397
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,239
Speaker 4: But if you see who Porsia is now, Porsche is

398
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 4: a businesswoman. And at the end of the day, I

399
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 4: always tell people this, if you look at anybody's life,

400
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 4: we all have the ability to go there when pushed,

401
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 4: when provoked, or when we feel like our backs up

402
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 4: against the wall, you know, And one thing I appreciate

403
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 4: about you is you did not allow that moment to

404
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 4: define you. You allowed yourself to heal, to be able

405
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 4: to have a genuine apology to the person involved, which

406
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 4: I always looked at that like, no one understands that

407
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 4: she could have apologized the moment that happened.

408
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 3: It wouldn't have been genuine.

409
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 4: You allowed yourself to heal, to learn and to say,

410
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 4: I see my mistake in it. And the most beautiful

411
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 4: moment that came out of your mouth that season was

412
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,719
Speaker 4: she did not deserve this, and I feel bad, And

413
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 4: I was like, this is the beauty of Monique owning

414
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 4: it and wanting to move forward. And I feel like

415
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 4: you don't get enough credit for that.

416
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: Thank you.

417
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to stand on the conversation that we had

418
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: at Karen's house when they asked me, did I have

419
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: any remorse?

420
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 2: And I said no.

421
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: That was literally like four days after the fight happened

422
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: even have time to process it, and I was my

423
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: adrenaline was still pumping, like I was still like I

424
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: never had a moment to just calm down and really

425
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: sit back and really digest it all. You know, I

426
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: did not feel remorse in that moment, and nobody was

427
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: gonna make me feel it in that moment. So I'm like,

428
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: give me some credit for being real at that moment,

429
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: because how many times have people gotten into altercations and

430
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: fights knowing that they were dead wrong? And was just like,

431
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: I don't feel bad about it, and still to this day,

432
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: don't you know. So I had to wait and feel

433
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: it myself. I couldn't allow somebody else to feel it.

434
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: I was still trying to put all the pieces together

435
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: to actually recall everything that happened. Even when I thought

436
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: I was recalling certain things, I was being told no

437
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: that that didn't happen like that.

438
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 2: It was so much back and forth. So yeah, I

439
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: had to.

440
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: Go through the process myself and I went on an

441
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: entire spiritual journey after that, which I'm still grateful for.

442
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: It allowed me to really dissect some things that happened

443
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: to me in childhood, to understand myself on a deeper level.

444
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: Because I thought I was a person that was fully

445
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: in control of myself. So I realized in that experience

446
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: that I don't have control and that I needed to

447
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: make sure that something like this will never happen again.

448
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: I'll know better when to use good judgment to whether

449
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: it's walking away, whether it's you know, removing.

450
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 2: Myself from the situation or what have you.

451
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: So because of that, it's like sped up my growth

452
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: process so much more So you never know through what

453
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: you go in life.

454
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 2: You never know why you go.

455
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: Through those things, but sometimes certain things have to happen

456
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: for you to wake up.

457
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: I wish that wasn't it, but it was the thing

458
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 2: that woke me up.

459
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 3: So I'm grateful, and it's your journey.

460
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 4: And it's interesting is you will always be known as

461
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 4: the iconic woman who brought a binder to the reunion

462
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 4: and I even tweeted and put on my Instagram page,

463
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 4: and I stand by this. Potomac Season five Part one

472
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 4: when you decided, Okay, I'm done done.

473
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: Yes, I watched it on the Saturday before it aired,

474
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: and I was just completely just blown because they kept

475
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: insisting on showing my husband and I live where my

476
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: husband was basically like, well, if I was a woman,

477
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: I would have slapped on women, you know, for talking

478
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: about our child. He had every right to be upset.

479
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: He didn't do anything aggressive to them. He actually called

480
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: all them right after and apologized.

481
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 2: He even apologized.

482
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: He called Wine and he talked to Wine, he talked

483
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: to Ray, and when he was on the phone with

484
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: Wine and Robin, he told them, he said, listen, I

485
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: don't have Giselle's number, and my wife don't talk to her, obviously,

486
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: he said, but please let her know that. I also

487
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: apologized to her for saying that. So they never talked

488
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: about that. They never showed that, nor did they show

489
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: why we went live in the first place.

490
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 2: They never showed that.

491
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: Girl basically saying that, Yeah, there was a plot, and

492
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: I told them that this plot won't make sense because

493
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: Chris Baby looked just like him.

494
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 2: It looks like he spit them out.

495
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna look stupid if if you basically move forward

496
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: with this plot. You need to come from a different angle.

497
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: She said all of that, and they had the life.

498
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: Andy asked me four or five times to make sure

499
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: I sent him that live and also to make sure

500
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: production had it, and I did that. They said that

501
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: they were gonna use it. They even wanted all of

502
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: the receipts that were in my binder. I gave them

503
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: of electronic document that had an electronic version of my binder,

504
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: so they had every receipt if they wanted to post

505
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: it on the TV screen or whatever they had. They

506
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: had every single thing that I had in that binder electronically,

507
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: and I still have that link. If you want it,

508
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 1: but yeah, I sent them everybody and to see that.

509
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: They did not show the full picture. That was all

510
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: I wanted. Just show the full picture. Don't show it

511
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: so one sided and try to make my husband and

512
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: I look like these angry black people, you know. So

513
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: when they didn't come through and actually show what they said,

514
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: they even set out their own mouths to us, we

515
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: have to show both sides, because that's only fair. They

516
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: said that, and then they didn't show it. So I

517
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: remember that night, I was like, I'm done. And I

518
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: remember the next day, Funky Dyniva, we were in Florida.

519
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: Funky Diniva came past my mom's. We were all hanging out,

520
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: and I was trying my best to keep my face

521
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 1: straight because I didn't want him to pick up on

522
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: the fact that I was pissed and I was out

523
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to tell anybody until I was

524
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: ready to tell anybody, and he didn't pick up on it.

525
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: That night, I already drafted up my email. I sent

526
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 1: it to all of the execs you already know who

527
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 1: they are, for Bravo and for Truly, and I said,

528
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: you know, thank you, but no thank you. I said,

529
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: I'm no longer want to be a part of this.

530
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate my time on the show. Good riddens, basically,

531
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: and I sent that email at ten thirty one pm

532
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: that night after.

533
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 2: The reunion aired.

534
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: I literally hit send at ten thirty one pm. Gotam done.

535
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 3: Stay tuned for more of my conversation with Monique.

536
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 4: Samuel's We'll be right back after some quick ads. This

537
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 4: is reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King. Let's

538
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 4: get back into my conversation with Monique. I tell people

539
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 4: this all the time as a man in reality television,

540
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 4: I don't care if I know you or not. If

541
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 4: I see someone hurting or someone not having the best experience,

542
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 4: I will always reach out to that person to say

543
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 4: I don't want nothing from you. I just want you

544
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 4: to know you don't have to go through this alone

545
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 4: and that if you need someone to talk to, I'm

546
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 4: here to talk to. I sent that to Monique. Miss

547
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 4: Monique responded two weeks later, child I said, but no,

548
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 4: Monique responded. Two weeks later, Monique, myself and Chris had

549
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 4: a two hour conversation.

550
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 3: Again.

551
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 4: We didn't talk about nothing, but like her experience, it

552
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 4: wasn't about work, it wasn't about nothing except I want

553
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 4: to I want you guys to know that I am

554
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 4: here for you, and that's all it was. And I

555
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 4: wanted to let the world know that you and Chris

556
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 4: said things to me that I know for a fact

557
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 4: it's true because I am in this business. And the

558
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 4: one thing I said to you and Chris at the

559
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 4: end of the call was, don't let this experience define

560
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 4: what you think reality TV is about. And if given

561
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 4: the chance, I would love to showcase a different experience

562
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 4: for you guys, if it should come to that. And

563
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 4: then a month or two later is when I was

564
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 4: approached by the Oprah Winfrey Network to spin off Love

565
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 4: and Marriage Huntsville into a New City. And I said,

566
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 4: if I'm going to do a new city, I want

567
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 4: Monique Samuels.

568
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 3: But Monique turned me down the first time I asked her.

569
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 3: Tell me the Monique what happened.

570
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: I was like, Carlos, I don't know. I don't want

571
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: to do another ensemble. I said, oh, I don't know

572
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: if I want to do that.

573
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 2: But it's so funny because you.

574
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate you so much, Chris and I both because

575
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: you allowed us to vent, You allowed us to get

576
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: it all out and because we were able to get

577
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: it all out in a safe space, it allowed us

578
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: to heal. You know, it kind of sped up our

579
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: healing process. Chris, you know, he always takes a little

580
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: longer than than the most, but he finally came around.

581
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: But it was it was a very toxic situation, you know,

582
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: and it was scary. I remember, I mean even fast

583
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: forward once we once you called me and was like,

584
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: you know, once we agreed to it, we went through

585
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: the whole process, and then when you were like, here's

586
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: the date it's ready on said yes, I was.

587
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: Just like, oh, well, I don't know.

588
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: He's like when he stopped playing with me, I was like, oh,

589
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: let me talk to Chris about this.

590
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 4: You. I was so scared, like Monique is a about

591
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 4: to back out of Love and Math DC after I

592
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 4: saw the show to own and Monique introduced me to

593
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 4: all these wanton for koupofs and she's about to leave

594
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 4: the show before it started shoot and say, and the.

595
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: Crazy thing about it, I just got I got cold feet,

596
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: and I got That's why when we even had our

597
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: very first confessional, I said I had Reality TV PTSD.

598
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 2: I was traumatized the.

599
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: Thought of the whole process all over again was a

600
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: little traumatic, But at the same time, I felt comfortable

601
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: because with you, I felt safer. I felt like, Okay,

602
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: this is gonna be real. We're gonna have drama, We're

603
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: gonna have our ups and downs, but at least it's

604
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: gonna be real. And when I tell you your crew,

605
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,240

606
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: be possible. Where they were literally flies on the wall.

607
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just like, do what you do,

608
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: you know, and I appreciate that. It was very genuine

609
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: and it was I mean, everybody had such good energy.

610
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 1: I didn't have to feel like I had to sage

611
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:13,680

Speaker 2: But it just it was different.

628
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: It was a totally different experience, so it was worth

629
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: coming back.

630
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 3: Oh thank you, No listen.

631
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 4: I tell people all the time my job as the

632
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 4: creative shows is to make sure that my casts have

633
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 4: a good experience, because I don't think people understand how

634
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 4: difficult and challenging it is for someone to show the

635
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 4: world the good, the bad, the ugly like.

636
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 3: That it takes a lot.

637
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 4: To be vulnerable in front of millions of people and

638
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 4: the whole camera crew in your house. So my biggest

639
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 4: thing I always tell people is my job is to

640
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 4: make sure my cast feels comfortable. And when I say

641
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 4: to you, guys, Monique and Chris are a fantastic addition

642
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 4: to this franchise. And I will go on record saying

643
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 4: this franchise could not have worked without Chris and Monique

644
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 4: because you two bring such a lie level of experience

645
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 4: and authenticity to the show, and it's spilled over into

646
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 4: the other couples on DC to the point where it

647
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 4: allowed them to be more real and to be more vulnerable,

648
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 4: because you two were the example of how it should work.

649
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 4: And when I say to y'all and listen, I wouldn't

650
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 4: say this, but wasn't true.

651
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 3: Love and Marriage.

652
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 4: DC is about to knock your socks off. It is

653
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:36,479
Speaker 4: a fantastic show. It's black love, but it's real love,

654
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,919
Speaker 4: and it's the ups and downs. And when I say

655
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 4: to you, Monique and Christopher, the first episode starts with

656
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 4: Monique and it ends with Monique, honey.

657
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 2: Oh lord, listen. Now let me tell you. Let me

658
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 2: tell you something. One thing about Chris and I.

659
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: The entire time we've done reality TV, we were told

660
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: that we were too perfect. We were told that, you know,

661
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: y'all don't show us this, and y'all don't show us that.

662
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: All y'all show us is the good. And I remember

663
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: telling production and telling the network. I said, Number one,

664
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: I don't hear y'all saying that to Lisa, Vanda Pump

665
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: and Ken. I don't hear y'all saying that to Kylin Mauricio.

666
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: I don't hear y'all saying that to all the other

667
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: couples that are less melanated in their marriages when we

668
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: hear stuff about them off camera that we never hear

669
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: on the show. So I said, so, at the end

670
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: of the day, what Chris and I will never do

671
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: is give you something that we're not actually going through.

672
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: So it's not my fault that the time of year

673
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: y'all want to bring around cameras. Me and Chris are fine.

674
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 2: But let me tell you love and marriage DC. Oh.

675
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,479
Speaker 1: They called Chris and I at one of our most

676
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: challenging times in our relationship, and it's funny because the

677
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 1: beginning of the year is always a rift for us.

678
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: So I remember when you said we're gonna start filming

679
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: in January, and I was like, oh lord, I was

680
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: texting you like probably, I don't know. I was like, Yo,

681
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: come get this dude now.

682
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 4: Monique was like, I'm going to Arizona right, yes. Monique

683
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 4: was like, Carlos, I'm going to Arizona for two weeks.

684
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 4: So how long it was with by by myself because

685
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 4: I need to save my marriage. But in order for

686
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 4: that to happen, I have to be okay with me

687
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 4: and the beautiful part of that conversation I never shared

688
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 4: this with you. Either was the fact that I will

689
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 4: always give Chris his promps because he made sure that

690
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 4: you felt safe enough to go through that in.

691
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 3: Order to be whole.

692
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 4: And I don't think a lot of husbands would have

693
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 4: allowed their wife to go out of town by themselves

694
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 4: because they needed to heal while he was at home.

695
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 4: I will always give that black man his credit.

696
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: Yes, I was there for five nights, and when I

697
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: tell you, I went to a meditation in a meditation resort.

698
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: So it was all about just like mindfulness, being present,

699
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: no phones, just very like. It was amazing and it

700
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: allowed me because you know what happens in the marriage.

701
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: A lot of times we want so much from our spouse,

702
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: but we really don't know what we want because we

703
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: don't know who we are. We don't know what makes

704
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: us feel safe, whole and present. So in order for

705
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: me to come back and tell Chris, hey, this is

706
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: what I need from you, I needed to see what

707
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: I needed from me, you know, And that's what I

708
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,439
Speaker 1: needed to really understand myself even better when it comes

709
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: to me as a woman, as an entrepreneur, as a wife,

710
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: as a mom, especially with the thought of going back

711
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: into reality TV. I said, I need to know exactly

712
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: where I am, and he allowed me to do.

713
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 2: That, and now I'm actually not now, but I've.

714
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: Been encouraging him to do the same, even if he

715
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: goes to the same resort I went to, whatever he

716
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: wants to do. It is something about in time with

717
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: yourself and you have that one on one time with

718
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: God and you're able to I was journaling every day

719
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: and it was incredible. But it also this is the

720
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: thing about spiritual journeys and growth. As you start to

721
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: elevate in your spiritual journey, and if you're in a marriage,

722
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: your spouse has to elevate as well. So then that's

723
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: what a lot of people are going to witness when

724
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: they watch Love and Marriage DC is that Chris and

725
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: I are off balance and we're trying our best to

726
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: get back on balance and get back on the same page.

727
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 2: So it was a very real season for us. It

728
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: still is.

729
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: Every time we had confessionals, it was like we were

730
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: in a therapist's office and we were very open and vulnerable,

731
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: very vulnerable about everything that we were dealing with.

732
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 4: Now, I promise you, guys, if you think you knew

733
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 4: Monique and Chris, you have seen nothing yet.

734
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,479
Speaker 3: It is deep, it is real.

735
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 4: And the thing about the Love and Marriage franchise is

736
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 4: similar to other franchises. Each city is different, So Huntsville

737
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 4: Love and Match Huntsville is very different. It's it's great

738
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 4: on his own. They got their own marital issues. The

739
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 4: thing with DC is it feels to me like the

740
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 4: Black nine to two one zero. And these couples are

741
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 4: beautiful and they're funny and there. Each couple is going

742
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 4: through their own journey and their marriage. But Monique, let

743
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 4: them know what they can expect from the season between you,

744
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 4: the other couples, and your friend, Miss Winter Williams.

745
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: If y'all, if y'all watch Game of Thrones and they

746
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: say winter is coming, Honey, winter is coming. I know,

747
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: I know it is like May up out here in

748
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 1: these in these United States streets.

749
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,760
Speaker 2: But let me let me tell you winter is coming

750
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 2: May fourteenth.

751
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: That couldn't even start a winter, Oh lord, let me

752
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: tell you so Quick and Ashley so Quick is a

753
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: very well known DJ in this area. Ashley is a

754
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: very bubbly, social like entrepreneur, boss mom, all of that

755
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: in her and Quick's dynamic. First of all, let me

756
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: just say this about all of the couples. Everybody is

757
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: bringing their weight, everybody is earning their check, everybody is

758
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 1: bringing vulnerability, they're bringing their own story, and then we're

759
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: all helping each other through whatever it is that we're

760
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: going through, allowing each other to space to vent, and

761
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: it really does show you what real marriage is about.

762
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: So with Quick and Ashley, they are the first to

763
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 1: let you know that they do not have a lot

764
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: of married friends. So we're gonna navigate that because you know, Ms.

765
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: Ashley don't like using that friend word. She'd be like frue,

766
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: so I'm not. I'm like, we'd we ain't friends. But

767
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: one thing I do love also about this show is

768
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: that we're not coming into this acting like we've known

769
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: each other and we're besties. We're letting you know we

770
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 1: know each other from social scenes. I met Arena on Instagram.

771
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: I remember seeing her on the black Socialites page Kyle

772
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: rest in Peace. He had a page in DC that

773
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 1: talked all about socialites and everything else, and he would

774
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: post her and I'm.

775
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 2: Like, well, who is she? I need to know her.

776
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 2: She's so fine.

777
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 1: I slid up into her DMS and I was like, honey,

778
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: you need to be on this show.

779
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 2: That was the other show.

780
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 1: That's how long ago this was, and me and her

781
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: would chat back and forth and once we connected, it

782
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,760
Speaker 1: is so beautiful to see her and her husband, Jamie

783
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: the Tylers. Jamie invented the day party scene in DC.

784
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna see a lot of DC culture. Arena is

785
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:52,240
Speaker 1: born and raised in DC. Ashley and Quick.

786
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 2: First of all, Ashley is hilarious, beyond funny.

787
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 1: Without you and trying to be funny, she thows shade

788
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 1: by accident. I love her.

789
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 2: She is so funny. She cracks me up. But she

790
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 2: is very real.

791
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 1: You ain't gonna have no questions about how she feels

792
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: about you after you leave the room. She ain't got

793
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: no reason to continue a conversation after you're gone, because

794
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: she's gonna let you know right there.

795
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 2: You know, Raina is so she's so poised.

796
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: She is like a perfect queen, and she's going to

797
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:32,479
Speaker 1: actually really show you behind the curtain what is going

798
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: on with Raina as she raises her children. And then

799
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: you have Tasha and Neil Lyons, who are friends of mine.

800
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: Tasha used to do when people say, oh, who used

801
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: to do your hair? And confessionals. Tasha most of the time,

802
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: all of those afrocentric styles that I wore. That was Tasha,

803
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: So her and Neil and I we've all been friends

804
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: for years and to the point where we would get

805
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: together as families. We would go out to our lake

806
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: house and we would get together. So we've known each

807
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: other for a long time. And they're very spicy, they're

808
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 1: very real and open.

809
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 2: And Chris and I we're the young couples in this group.

810
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 2: Then you have Miss Winter.

811
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: Now Winter I've known from the NFL Wives Club, So

812
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: I was a girlfriend back then and her ex husband

813
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: and Chris played together, and so we've known each other

814
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 1: in that realm of that NFL world for a long time.

815
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: And one thing about NFL wives is that even when

816
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: you don't talk all the time, years could literally go by,

817
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 1: that connection is still there because we all understand what

818
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: it's like to be married to an NFL player or

819
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: a former NFL player, and when we need help, when

820
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: we need somebody to lean on, when we're going through

821
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: things in our marriages, you have these people that you

822
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 1: can feel comfortable and trust and talk to. So it's

823
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,720
Speaker 1: going to be a heck of a season. I cannot

824
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:54,879
Speaker 1: wait to watch.

00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:56,719

Speaker 2: Yes, it's true.

835
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,799

00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: I have an awesome opportunity that I would love to

837
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: talk to you about.

838
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 2: So I was like okay, and.

839
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: We talked on the phone and he's explaining everything to me.

840
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: I was actually his I think I was his second

841
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: call that he made after he was greenlit and he

842
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: wanted me to be there. He reassured me that it

843
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 1: was just me. He's like, we don't have any other

844
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: potomacast coming or anything like that, and I said okay,

845
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: So I just listened and I was very quiet, and

846
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: he was like, well, why don't you sleep on it?

847
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, no, I don't. I don't

848
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: know if this is something I want to do, and

849
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: I told him, and I told him I straight up.

850
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: I was straight up with him, and I said, it's

851
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,959
Speaker 1: not just a cast issue. I said, it was also

852
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: a production and a network issue. So I said, you know,

853
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if this is something I

854
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: want to do. And he still was like, sleep on it.

855
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: So I said, okay, I'll sleep on it. A few

856
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: days later, we talked again and I said, I said,

857
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: I appreciate you thinking to me, but I'm going to

858
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: have to pass. I just I don't feel comfortable doing it.

859
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: And he said, okay, I totally understand. If you change

860
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: your mind, just let me know and and then I

861
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: stay in touch. You know, there's no love life.

862
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 3: Congratulated you when Love and Marriage DC was announced.

863
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 2: He did, he even when they when they actually leaked it.

864
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: He was one of the first text messages I got

865
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: saying congratulations, and I couldn't respond because it wasn't official.

866
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 2: So I just had to leave him on red for

867
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 2: like weeks.

868
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: So as soon as y'all all announced it officially, I

869
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: text them back, like, thank you so much. I wanted

870
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: to respond, but I couldn't. He said, oh, trust I

871
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,760
Speaker 1: already know how to say worked. He said, I figured

872
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: that was the case. It's all good, you know. So yeah,

873
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: he definitely congratulated and he said, I know the show

874
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 1: is going to be a hit because it has you.

875
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 2: And I said, oh, thank you.

876
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 3: And he never lied.

877
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 4: Have you heard from the Potomac Ladies about Loving Marriage DC?

878
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,439
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I've heard from Ashley, I heard from Karen. Those

879
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: are the only two ladies I still talk to. Those

880
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: are my sisters. I love them.

881
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 2: I actually hooked up with Ashley Chris and I met

882
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 2: up with her and.

883
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: Michael in Florida a few months ago, so so yeah,

884
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,479
Speaker 1: it sucks to hear what they're going through right now.

885
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, how is she spoken to her since she

886
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 4: announced she was falling for divorce?

887
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 3: Yes?

888
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 2: I did.

889
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: But you know one thing about Ashley, she is one

890
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: of the most positive people that I've ever met. She

891
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: is the biggest tree hugger, Like, she is always going

892
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,760
Speaker 1: to see the good in every situation. So she's keeping

893
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 1: her head up and she's, you know, just to see

894
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 1: what happens down this road. So I'm really proud of

895
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 1: her for just being brave enough to do what she

896
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: feels is best for her you know, and Karen you

897
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,600

898
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: Karen right before her show premiere on Bravo. She had

899
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,719
