Speaker 1: George.

Speaker 2: latest with Laura lo Rosa. This is everything pop culture, entertainment,
Speaker 2: news exclusives, and all of the conversations that shake the room.
Speaker 2: Now starting off with the behind the scenes of the
Speaker 2: Grind check in, because low riders, y'all know how we do.
Speaker 2: We be moving, moving, moving, grinding, grinding, grinding, and don't
Speaker 2: never take a second, don't never take a beat for ourselves,
Speaker 2: the really tapping feed on grass.
Speaker 1: See how we feel in this morning or today.
Speaker 2: If I'm checking in behind the scenes of the Grind, I.
Speaker 1: Am feeling rest or anticipation.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's an anticipation of rest because we do have
Speaker 2: a break coming up for the holiday, for the fourth
Speaker 2: of July holiday, which means I will not have to
Speaker 2: wake up every morning to come into the breakfast club,
Speaker 2: so that three thirty four am alarm baby shut off.
Speaker 2: I am so excited for that. So I'm anticipating being
Speaker 2: able to have I'm still have an alarm because you know,
Speaker 2: I got things going on during the week. We'll still
Speaker 2: be in court until durid deliberations are over, but it
Speaker 2: won't be no four am. God is good. Can we
Speaker 2: put a little church shop right here, some tambourine, some something,
Speaker 2: because God is so good When you get a week
Speaker 2: to not wake up at three four o'clock in the morning, Lord,
Speaker 2: I am so grateful.
Speaker 1: But God, you know I'm going to enjoy this break.
Speaker 2: Now, getting on into the latest huge story yesterday, major
Speaker 2: story in a winter, Oh my God, and a Winterur
Speaker 2: is stepping away or stepping down from her position at
Speaker 2: Vogue as editor in chief after thirty seven years in
Speaker 2: this position. Man, the Queen of Fashion, the Queen of
Speaker 2: Fashion houses, the queen of fashion at a two and
Speaker 2: a Wintoru style icon and a win tour, has decided.
Speaker 2: After thirty seven years of running the fashion world with
Speaker 2: her trailblazing vision and you know all of the the
Speaker 2: the resources and you know the direction that she's been
Speaker 2: able to provide via Vogue, she she's gonna take a
Speaker 2: step back now. She's not gonna completely be doing like
Speaker 2: nothing right like this is. I don't think a person
Speaker 2: that has been as active and uh, you know, as
Speaker 2: influential as an and a Wintor could honestly just take
Speaker 2: a step back, fully like like fully.
Speaker 1: Retire, do nothing type of thing.
Speaker 2: So of course it wasn't a surprise to hear that
Speaker 2: she won't just be doing anything, right, So, what she's
Speaker 2: gonna actually do is she is going to remain as
Speaker 2: Conde Nast Global Chief Content Officer. You know, she still
Speaker 2: will also be Vogues Global editorial Directors, so she'll still
Speaker 2: have a hand in things and a hand in the
Speaker 2: game a bit, but it will be very different than
Speaker 2: how we've been used to seeing her now. And what
Speaker 2: that means for all of the people who are not
Speaker 2: into fashion, who you know, this has nothing y'all, like, well,
Speaker 2: why does this have anything to do with us?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: This means that as content as Chief Content Officer, she
Speaker 2: will oversee various different brands under Content n Ass. So
Speaker 2: Content as is like the parent company Condey n Ask
Speaker 2: is like iHeart for radio stations, right, so it's the
Speaker 2: parent company under Conde Nash. You have Wired, you have
Speaker 2: Vanity Fair, you have GQ magazine, you have Conde Nash Traveler,
Speaker 2: you have Glamour magazine, Allure and a few other outlets,
Speaker 2: so she'll still be overseeing content across all of those
Speaker 2: platforms under Conde nas which is the parent company, but
Speaker 2: she just will no longer be editor in chief at Vogue.
Speaker 2: Now people are like, what is an editor in chief's role?
Speaker 2: If you're the editor in chief, you are like very
Speaker 2: highly ranked. Now there is is very much so a
Speaker 2: ranking system in the fashion world, and baby the people respected.
Speaker 1: Editor in chief is the highest.
Speaker 2: Rank editor editorial professional at a publication, So you oversee
Speaker 2: the entire editorial processing team everything from you know, what
Speaker 2: will the clothes be in the stories we tell? To
Speaker 2: what are the stories? To who are the stories? To
Speaker 2: how we're telling the stories, to what the art looks
Speaker 2: like the artists like the photos, and putting that full
Speaker 2: vision together of the magazine and how it is conveyed
Speaker 2: for the month to your readers. But also you know,
Speaker 2: there's Vogue dot com as well too, so then there's
Speaker 2: that digital element of that as well, the same thing,
Speaker 2: what's the story, who's the story, why are we doing
Speaker 2: the story? What are the assets, the photos, the videos,
Speaker 2: the feeling the texture of the story. In a winter
Speaker 2: has been able to put a lot of big names
Speaker 2: celebrities on the cover of Vogue, and there have been
Speaker 2: a lot of lists coming out of different people. She's
Speaker 2: put on Vogue number nineteen eighty nine. You have Naomi
Speaker 2: Campbell on the cover of Vogue November two thousand and one,
Speaker 2: Britney Spears on the.
Speaker 1: Cover of Vogue.
Speaker 2: You have April two thousand and eight with Lebron James
Speaker 2: and Giselle Bunchkin, who used to be married to Tom Brady.
Speaker 2: A lot of people forget that Gaselle was such a
Speaker 2: big model on the cover of Vogue. Michelle Obama in
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine on the cover of Vogue, which
Speaker 2: was a big deal because first of all, the cover
Speaker 2: read Michelle Obama, the first Lady the world's been waiting for,
Speaker 2: because you know, Barack Obama, first black president, and then
Speaker 2: you have Michelle Obama sitting next to him. But Michelle
Speaker 2: Obama was heavily critiqued and criticized for her choice of
Speaker 2: fashion while in the role of first Lady, so Vogue
Speaker 2: standing next to.
Speaker 1: Her was a big deal.
Speaker 2: This is the go to fashion platform, so that was
Speaker 2: a really big deal as well. And Michelle Obama actually
Speaker 2: did the cover two more times after that as well.
Speaker 2: She also in a win tour put Kanye West and
Speaker 2: Kim Kardashiana on the Vogue cover in April of twenty fourteen,
Speaker 2: which was a really big deal because for a long time,
Speaker 2: people in the fashion world, especially Vogue magazine, distanced themselves
Speaker 2: from people like Kim Kardashian. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian
Speaker 2: have talked about this. Kanye West has talked about a
Speaker 2: lot being able to put Kim Kardashian next to in
Speaker 2: the winter and what that did for Kim Kardashian because
Speaker 2: people looked at Kim Kardashian as like, oh, she's just
Speaker 2: a reality star. They looked down on her because of it,
Speaker 2: because reality TV was looked at as something that wasn't
Speaker 2: as valid at the time, or it was very low brow,
Speaker 2: given a little bit of ratch, given a little of the.
Speaker 1: Nass, not class.
Speaker 2: But Kim Kardashian, who was trying to carve her own
Speaker 2: lane in the fashion world, she would try, she was
Speaker 2: trying to attend these shows, she was trying to be
Speaker 2: within these inner circles. She was trying to wear these
Speaker 2: different brands, and they would be told no. Very often,
Speaker 2: she would not be invited to the shows There were
Speaker 2: even rumors that at one point in time, when Kim
Speaker 2: Kardashian would come into these elements, into these high fashion
Speaker 2: events and things of that nature, people would literally leave
Speaker 2: because they didn't want to be seen with her, especially
Speaker 2: because before the reality show part of Kim Kardashian, you know,
Speaker 2: the sex tape was the predecessor, right, so people didn't
Speaker 2: want to be seen with her. So again, Vogue putting
Speaker 2: Kim and Kanye on the cover stamped it changed Kim
Speaker 2: Kardashian's life standing next to Anna Wintor via Kanye West.
Speaker 2: Nicki Minaj has been on the cover recently. Beyonce was
Speaker 2: on the cover in twenty eighteen, and Beyonce's cover was
Speaker 2: a big deal too because she worked with a young
Speaker 2: photographer named Tyler Mitchell. I believe Tyler Mitchell was like
Speaker 2: twenty three twenty four at the time. He was twenty
Speaker 2: three years old at the time when he shot Beyonce,
Speaker 2: and he was a black photographer or he's a black photographer,
Speaker 2: not was, because he's still around. He's a black photographer
Speaker 2: twenty three years old, shot Beyonce cover Vogue Again, it's
Speaker 2: just like an official stand now the fashion houses you know,
Speaker 2: things have began to change so much over the last decade.
Speaker 2: I would say, I used to work in fashion, so
Speaker 2: I used to work with Cosmopolitan magazine. And during that
Speaker 2: time when I was there, this was a long time ago.
Speaker 2: Fashion houses and major fashion publications like a Vogue and
Speaker 2: things of that nature were so regarded that they didn't
Speaker 2: just throw their stamp on anybody, as they shouldn't. But
Speaker 2: that was a good and a bad thing. It was
Speaker 2: a good thing because you know, if you can keep
Speaker 2: the brand regarded, people always aspire to be a part
Speaker 2: of it, to want to read it, to want to
Speaker 2: understand it. But it was a bad thing because it
Speaker 2: shut a lot of people out.
Speaker 1: It shut a whole lot of people out.
Speaker 2: And when I say people, mainly people of color, black people.
Speaker 2: And this is why, you know, in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 2: even when you talk about the fashion weeks, a lot
Speaker 2: of people will say fashion week is not what fashion
Speaker 2: week used to be, where it's like you got a
Speaker 2: wait for these high brow couture house invites in order
Speaker 2: to be considered deemed somewhat important moving throughout fashion week.
Speaker 2: Now you have the brands like the LaQuan Smiths, and
Speaker 2: you know, Telfars and all these other black designers who
Speaker 2: decides ward that are doing their own shows and not
Speaker 2: in the fashion tents. The Fashion Tints is this area
Speaker 2: in New York that has coveted for fashion Week shows,
Speaker 2: and those are the shows that you want to go
Speaker 2: to if you're on that official Fashion Week list as
Speaker 2: a designer and you're under the Fashion Tints. At one
Speaker 2: point in time, that made or broke your career and
Speaker 2: your brand. Nowadays things are so much different, and I
Speaker 2: think Vague was really good at shifting, even when they
Speaker 2: leaned into the dot com and started sending next to artists,
Speaker 2: like I remember there was photos of Ice Spices and
Speaker 2: in a winterur sitting front road during the time the
Speaker 2: Ice Spice was, you know, moving around and doing her thing.
Speaker 2: There were recently photos of Tyler in a winterur, you know,
Speaker 2: and seedd together as well, like she in a winter
Speaker 2: and the team of around her has been really good
Speaker 2: at understanding when things are changing.
Speaker 1: And being able to move with the change, to be
Speaker 1: honest with you.
Speaker 2: So I don't know what is to come next because
Speaker 2: of this, but because she's doing this, stepping away and
Speaker 2: just focusing on other things, something is to come like,
Speaker 2: she's a very strategic woman who's been very successful at
Speaker 2: influence in branding and marketing and storytelling and positioning of
Speaker 2: the magazines and the brands that she's worked with, but
Speaker 2: also of people for a.
Speaker 1: Very long time.
Speaker 2: So I kept asking my friends yesterday, like all of
Speaker 2: you know my chat where we talk fashion. They were
Speaker 2: having a conversation about it, and I'm like, but why,
Speaker 2: Like why what is happening? Because when something like this happens,
Speaker 2: she ain't doing this for no reason, So what's about
Speaker 2: to happen?
Speaker 1: A lot of people think that Edward.
Speaker 2: Any Fool may be coming in and stepping over and
Speaker 2: taking her place. Edward Inningful is the editor in chief
Speaker 2: of British Vote, which was a big deal because he
Speaker 2: was a black man, So people think that he maybe
Speaker 2: stepping in. But there's been rumored like tis tests between
Speaker 2: the two. But I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Speaker 2: It wouldn't be a bad thing for her to put
Speaker 2: a person of color, a black person in this position.
Speaker 2: It would honestly be something that would be very on
Speaker 2: brand for her and how she's been able to understand
Speaker 2: and not be tone deaf when things are happening, even
Speaker 2: though people speak otherwise of the of the outlet. Right
Speaker 2: to each his own opinion, But anyway, that's how it
Speaker 2: seems brand wise, So we'll just have to wait and see.
Speaker 1: For all my non fashioned people, I know y'all are like,
Speaker 1: who even knew? Big deal?
Speaker 2: This is like Beyonce saying she's retiring from music, y'all.
Speaker 2: This is literally the equivalent of that. All right, So
Speaker 2: I'll keep you guys posting on what comes up next.
Speaker 2: I am headed to court. Today is the second day
Speaker 2: of closing arguments the defense. Diddy's team will be presenting
Speaker 2: their closing arguments in the midst of Justin Colmb's Diddy's
Speaker 2: son being sued as well. Now there's a girl alleging
Speaker 2: that Justin COLMBS lured him to LA with promises of
Speaker 2: getting her job and entertained. But when she got to LA,
Speaker 2: she says she was kept in the house for days,
Speaker 2: and she alleges that she was raped by multiple men,
Speaker 2: including Diddy at least, you know, according to this like lawsuit,
Speaker 2: Diddy seem has come out about this and said that
Speaker 2: it was Bs. They actually said, no matter how many
Speaker 2: lawsuits are filed, it won't change the fact that mister
Speaker 2: Combs is never sexually as assaulted or sex trafficked anyone
Speaker 2: man or woman, adult or minor. We live in a
Speaker 2: world where anyone can follow lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately,
Speaker 2: a fair and impartial judicial process exists for the truth
Speaker 2: to be found, and mister Combs is confident that he
Speaker 2: will prevail in court.
Speaker 1: Now, her attorney is Tony Busby, and.
Speaker 2: You guys know that there has been a conversation around
Speaker 2: the validity of Tony Busby's filings because of the whole
Speaker 2: jay Z lawsuit dropped, and you know all those things.
Speaker 2: Y'all remember all of that. We talked a lot about
Speaker 2: that here, so we'll keep you guys posted on that.
Speaker 2: But I think a lot of people even know a
Speaker 2: lot of outlets did report on this kind of had
Speaker 2: to back away from it because a lot of things
Speaker 2: with Tony Busby, you know, are allegedly did I look
Speaker 2: in the best as far as like a lawyer and
Speaker 2: a track record because of how that jay Z Diddy
Speaker 2: sexual a SOT allegation glawsuit went where he claimed that
Speaker 2: they assaulted this woman back in two thousand, another woman
Speaker 2: at the VMA's and then jay Z came out fighting
Speaker 2: hard and blew the whole case up. Showed so many
Speaker 2: inaccuracies and so many inconsistencies that it was just it
Speaker 2: was dropped. So thank you God for tuning in. I'll
Speaker 2: let you guys know how court goes today. We should
Speaker 2: have an official start of Drury deliberations by the end
Speaker 2: up today. But again, things are moving, things change. It
Speaker 2: all depends on timing. But you know, I'll keep you
Speaker 2: guys abreast of what's going down every step of the way.
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, y'all could be anywhere
Speaker 2: talking to anybody about all these things, but y'all are
Speaker 2: right here with me. The latest with Lauren La Rosa Lowriders.
Speaker 2: I appreciate you, guys
Speaker 1: And I will see you in my next episode.
