1 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: So there's all this news about me right now that 2 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: I was punched in the face, and I don't have 3 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: a Google alert on myself, but I've been getting so 4 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: many calls. So then I went to Google myself and 5 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,159 Speaker 1: I'm in every single article about this situation going on 6 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: in New York. And I don't know if you've heard 7 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: about it, but apparently girls have been getting punched in 8 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: the face. So one girl was walking down the street 9 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: and she said on TikTok, you guys, I just got 10 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: punched in the face. And I didn't realize that a 11 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: bunch of people said this, but I happened to fall 12 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 1: upon one of the videos and in the comments, I said, 13 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: oh my god, this is insane. This happened to me, 14 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: and I did a video about it, but I didn't 15 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: post it because I was embarrassed. And then I saw 16 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: this everywhere because there's apparently a crime spree in New York. 17 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: People are getting punched in the face. So I was 18 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: going into New York City to look at an apartment 19 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 1: and I hadn't really been in New York in a while, 20 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,839 Speaker 1: to be honest. It's like since I've since the pandemic, 21 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 1: I've been out of the city, and I don't really 22 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: go in unless I'm going to work and I'm in 23 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: the car and I go to the shoot and I 24 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: leave and I come home. I kind of run back 25 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: to the nest. So even though I live so close 26 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: to New York City, I'm not really there that much. 27 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: And it's very transactional, if that makes any sense. I'm 28 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: not just popping in to go have dinner. I'm popping 29 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: in to get hair makeup done in a hotel room, 30 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: which was what was going on. I know, do have 31 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 1: an apartment, but and then go into a studio shooting something, 32 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: then getting in the car and going home. So this 33 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: day I went to go look at apartments and I 34 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: saw this cute like little, tiny like bakery slash deli 35 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: and it was tiny, and I walked in and was 36 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,639 Speaker 1: just shooting some of the treats and had my phone, 37 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: which sounds like a trend. It sounds like a lot 38 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: of the people who have been on the street on 39 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: their phone. And I was walking out. As I was 40 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: walking out, a guy punched me in the face and 41 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: I freaked out and it was jarring, and it was 42 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: just like the girls because they were punched, but not 43 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: to the point where they got a black eye, like 44 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: they got like a little goose egg or it was 45 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: just like more jarring and alarming. It wasn't like a 46 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: punch to kill, you know. It was almost like a 47 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: punch to just punch somebody. And the exact same thing happened. 48 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: And my driver, Slash Security, was outside. He wasn't obviously 49 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: in the bakery with me because he's also minding the car, 50 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: and I gave him the look to nod over to 51 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: this guy who was this homeless guy who had just 52 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: punched me, and he went over and like got in 53 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: the guy's face, and I was like, let's just get 54 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: the fuck out of here. And I called the realtor 55 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: and I said, I'm texted the realtor and I have 56 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: the text and said, I don't want to do this anymore. 57 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to see an apartment like it. Just 58 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: I thought it was reflecting Manhattan, like Manhattan wasn't back. 59 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: Manhattan's unsafe. It freaked me out that I was just 60 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: in a small, tiny bakery Delli and got punched in 61 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: the face. I thought, oh my god, what has happened 62 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: to New York? Is this the seventies again? And so 63 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: now it was so weird to see that it had 64 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: been happening to other people, all much younger than I am, 65 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: not that that's relevant, but and other areas. And they 66 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: said they caught someone, and I saw the guy and 67 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: it wasn't the same guy. It didn't seem to be 68 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: the same guy. And I showed a Milio my driver, 69 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: but that was really fucked up. But TMZ and other 70 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 1: people said in a recently deleted comment, and I didn't delete. 71 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 1: I don't think you can delete a comment on someone 72 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: else's post. But I also don't know why they said 73 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: it was deleted, because it's not deleted. It's still on 74 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: that person's post. I don't even know where that person's 75 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: post is. But someone from my team's screen grabbed me 76 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: and it's still there, so a I didn't delete it, 77 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: but I don't know how to delete someone on someone 78 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: else's post. I don't know if you could do that, 79 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: but see it happened, and I have the text. I 80 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: looked up the text last night because everyone's so crazy 81 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: in this world that everywhere it's like that any claims 82 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: to have been punched in the face anyway, I know 83 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: they can't say it definitely happened because they weren't there 84 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: and they don't have video. And the video that I 85 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,839 Speaker 1: did have wasn't of me being punched in the face. 86 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: It was of me saying, holy shit, I just got 87 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: punched in the face. But I never posted it because 88 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: I was sort of embarrassed. It just felt weird to 89 00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: be like, Hi, I got punched in the face, because 90 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: I I don't know. I guess we talk about all 91 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: our stupid things and cottage cheese and makeup, but like 92 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: it just felt like, what's the point of me telling 93 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: everybody this? It freaked me out, And in the past 94 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: I had been criticized for saying New York wasn't safe, 95 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: and so I just I don't know. I just didn't 96 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: but I didn't delete it, and I have the text 97 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: where I said to the realtors, holy shit, cancel, I 98 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: don't want to see I don't want to do this anymore. 99 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: I just got hit in the face, is what I said. 100 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: Not punched. I got hit in the face, which I 101 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: don't know what the difference is, but I got hit, 102 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: not punched. Maybe it wasn't close fist, I don't remember, 103 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: but crazy. The best possible example of my favorite quote 104 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: from Lauren Michaels, which is you have to make an 105 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: exit to be able to make an entrance. Is Lindsay Lohan. 106 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: Lindsay Lohan and five point zero is really incredible and 107 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: it's funny because she'll confirm this. I predicted this. I 108 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: think it had to be three to five years ago. 109 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: I reached out to her team and said I wanted 110 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: to produce a documentary with her about her and predicted 111 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: her coming out on the other side in this way. 112 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: Remember she was in Greece dancing on the tables and 113 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: she was like, I don't know if it's called a 114 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: gift or a meme or whatever, but like it was 115 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: a whole thing, and Mikonos and people were making fun 116 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: of her, and I reached out to her. I met 117 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: her years ago at a nightclub at One Oak, like partying, 118 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: and I don't know, there was something about her that 119 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: we connect did to each other in the most non 120 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: but also superficial of ways, and we kept in touch 121 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: via social media, not all the time, but just once 122 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: in a while she'd what's at me or message me 123 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: and there was always a mutual respect. And I never 124 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: told her this, but one time I went to go 125 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: look at an apartment in New York City, and it 126 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: was an apartment that she had been renting. I was 127 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: looking to buy and she had been renting it. But anyway, 128 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: we sort of just very sporadically would message each other 129 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: on social media, and I was just always watching her. 130 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: And then I reached out and wanted to do something 131 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: with her. Wanted to do some version of just her story. 132 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: And so I'm on the sidelines watching and I'm really 133 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: excited and happy for her and love that she made 134 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: an exit to make an entrance, and she was just 135 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: such an excellent child actor and she fell down the 136 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: wrong tube and she certainly did it with passion and fire. 137 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: I also was out to dinner with her in La 138 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: I just remembered that with a group of people at 139 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: the Chateau Marmont. And good for her, good for her 140 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: having a son, good for her being in a relationship, 141 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: good for her checking out, good for her checking in, 142 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: and good for her not letting her story be told 143 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: for her. She grew up, she was a young, she 144 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: was a kid, and now she's an adult and she 145 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: gets to reframe her life and her story and she 146 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: gets to come in on her own terms. And she's 147 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: a legitimate, good actress. So that's a lot. Oh and 148 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: by the way, having done that Lifetime movie one time 149 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: in my whole life, there was a version of pressure 150 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: that was different than any other type of pressure. And 151 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: I'm not like a celebrity an actress. I just mean 152 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: like having to be a person that an entire set, 153 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: an entire crew, a cast relies on thinking about what 154 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: they're thinking of you, thinking about if you know what 155 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: you're doing, memorizing your lines, being present, the boredom in between, 156 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: the early call times, the late staying there really late, 157 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: the late night shoots, all of it is not easy. 158 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: It's a lot of pressure. And so to start that 159 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: as a child and then be successful at it and 160 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: make money at it and be famous, and then everybody 161 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: else wants you to be something and do something, and 162 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: people pulling you and to be I think in some version, 163 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: I'm sure she was supporting members of her family, like 164 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: that's a pressure, or just she's the brain maker in 165 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: her family, she's a breadwinner. That's a pressure. Like, I 166 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: don't know how any of these people survive this. I 167 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: really don't. Like I've heard Justin Bieber has had crazy 168 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: stuff go on, you know. I mean, we've observed that, 169 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: but just a child star and I'm sure he supported 170 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: parts of his family or they relied on him like 171 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: this is not an easy road and for someone that 172 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,719 Speaker 1: young to withstand that and deal with that, I mean, 173 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: Michael Jackson, Macaulay Culkin, Justin Bieber, Lindsay Lohan, it's Amanda Binds, 174 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: and like the list goes on. This is not a 175 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: situation where it's easy to go into fame as a 176 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: child and thrive and survive. It's too much. It's a 177 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: boulder on your back as a child. I actually think 178 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: it's unfair. I would not want that for a brand 179 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: at all. She does these little videos mimicking what I do, 180 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 1: but that's where it starts and stops. She doesn't have 181 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: the weight of the world on her back, and a 182 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: kid should not have a weight of the world on 183 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: her back. It really should. They shouldn't think about how 184 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: many examples there are a it being insane like Lindsay 185 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: Lohan was just a victim of her circumstances, so good 186 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: for her.
