1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: If my keys is out there and I'm passing by

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: and she's outside fighting on the side of the road,

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: I'm pulling over, taking my shoes and I'm helping her.

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: But the crazy thing about that, Carlos, I would do

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: that for each and every one of these ladies on

6
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: the show, even if they will not do it for me.

7
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: That's my character. That is my character.

8
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: I'm used to cheering for people who do not cheer

9
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: for me, and I'm okay with that.

10
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 3: Stay tuned.

11
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 4: We'll get to my conversation with Tama Sharie right after

Speaker 4: First, we got to get into what's been happening in

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 4: the streets of Alta.

19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: And y'all know what I'm talking about.

20
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 4: Martel Hope Baby filming for the Real Housewives of Atlanta.

21
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 4: We've seen the pictures, we've seen the photos, we've seen

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 4: the videos. Honey, we've seen it all. I'll just talk

23
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 4: about this stuff that we've seen online, and who knows,

24
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 4: maybe I'll confirm some stuff yes, okay, So we've all

25
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 4: have been seeing pictures of Sonya Richards Ross's husband Ross,

26
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 4: that's his name, right, Ross. Yes, he had a birthday party.

27
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 4: I believe it was his fortieth birthday party. And he

28
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 4: had a great Gatsby theme. So look, if I see

29
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 4: one more great Gatsby theme, I am going to poke

30
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: myself in the eyeball. Ross had a great gas beet thing,

31
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 4: because that's what men who are turning forty one?

32
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: Okay, whatever I mean, I digress. Okay.

33
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 4: So Martell showed up with his boo Cherie, and there's

34
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 4: a video that has leaked online that appears to show

35
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 4: Martell filming with Charae by his side and Kenya legend

36
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 4: more across from him, and a lot of people are

37
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 4: speculating whether or not Kenya and Martell we're having a

38
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 4: heated discussion, like what.

39
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: Was going on?

40
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 4: So look y'all about to give me a trouble, honey,

41
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 4: I got bills to pay.

42
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 3: The other thing I'll say is.

43
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 4: I heard it went down basement and that yep, Martell

44
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: versus Kenya. To know that something may have went down

45
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 4: with Martel and Kenya.

46
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: One thing we know.

47
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 4: About Martel Martel speaks his mind. Unlike most of the

48
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 4: husbands on the show, Martell's speaks his mind and he

49
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 4: goes off on anybody that he feels is going off

50
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 4: on him. We've seen it on my show Love and

51
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 4: Marriage Huntsville, and Martel speaks his mind.

52
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: He's a Capricorn.

53
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 4: He pledged the fraternity Kappa Alpha Si, so to know

54
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 4: that him and the Titan, like Kenya had a moment.

55
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: Oh, I can't wait.

56
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 4: He's going to make sure that these women know, like I,

57
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 4: I'm not the husbands y'all used to like, I am

58
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 4: going if y'all go gutter, I am going Jason Project

59
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 4: the thirteenth Basement on ya. Okay, Martel ain't the one

60
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 4: to play with.

61
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: He's not. He's not.

62
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 4: And it'll be interesting to see how Charae handles it,

63
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 4: because look, Charay and Kenya are friends, and although I'm

64
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 4: aware of what A heard, I'm not gonna say it,

65
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 4: but I am curious to see whether or not Charae

66
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: is able to, you know, defend her man without losing

67
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 4: her friendship with Kenya. Because one thing we know is

68
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: Kenya and Charay are really friends in real life, their neighbors,

69
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 4: and they really do enjoy each other. They sit next

70
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 4: to each other at the reunion. They had a good

71
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 4: old key key, So it'll be very interesting to see

72
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 4: what happens. Kenya is just somebody who is a force multiplier.

73
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 4: And look, Martel is one of the best male force

74
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 4: multipliers on reality television.

75
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: I don't think.

76
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 4: Those peaches are ready for the likes of Martell Hope.

77
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 4: And what's so interesting is not since Peter Thomas, have

78
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: you seen a husband on the show just speak his

79
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 4: mind and don't care if he's involved in the woman's

80
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 4: business or not. So it'll be interesting.

81
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: Now. Look, Martel is still.

82
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 4: I want to make it very clear my loves Martella

83
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 4: is still very much a part of the Love and

84
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 4: Marriage Huntsville universe.

85
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: So you know he went over there to play with

86
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 3: the girls for a second. That's cute.

87
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 4: So the only thing I'm going to say is buckle

88
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 4: up because I can't wait to get my hands on

89
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 4: Cherie Whitchfield in Huntsville.

90
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: Stay tuned.

91
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 4: Speaking of Love and Marriage Huntsville, last week's episode was

92
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 4: the most anticipated episode of the season, and you finally

93
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 4: got to see what happened at Destiny MADNNI location where

94
00:05:54,760 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 4: Melody Miss Wanda, Martel and Marcel. Oh like this big

95
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 4: old melay that happened, and let's talk about it.

96
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: What's going to be interesting to see.

97
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 4: Is how the cast is able to move forward after this, which, yes,

98
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 4: you're going to see episodes where they talk about it.

99
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 4: You're going to see episodes where the original six, the Scott's,

100
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 4: the Hotes, and Scott's two point zero have a conversation

101
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 4: about what happened. You're going to see Marcel and Tisha

102
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 4: talk to Miss Wanda. You're going to see a very

103
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 4: interesting way of how adults deal with a situation to

104
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 4: where something heated happen. The best thing I love about

105
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 4: this show is this cast is super real, but they're

106
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 4: also very super aware of their position. And that's why

107
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 4: when you see what happened after this melee, you're going

108
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 4: to see a very mature conversation just about respect. And

109
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 4: what also makes me happy is the fact that no

110
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 4: punches were thrown, no hits were landed, and that's what

111
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 4: we like to see on reality television. Y'all could tweet

112
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 4: me all day long about Ratchet, this Ratchet that I'm

113
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 4: happy that no one got hurt. I'm happy that these

114
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 4: grown adults felt the need to have this heated moment,

115
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 4: but also new to separate themselves from it, and that's

116
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 4: something that should be applauded. And we will get more

117
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 4: into this at the upcoming reunion that's taping in a

118
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 4: few weeks. But the main thing that I want to

119
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 4: address is this this social media commentary about the word ratchet.

120
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: I feel like it's overused and y'all are using it

121
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 4: a lot when it comes to black people having a

122
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 4: very heated moment on reality television. Y'all don't use the

123
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 4: word of ratchet when Teresa July split the table. Y'all

124
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 4: don't use the word of ratchet when Lisa Renna put

125
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 4: a glass on the table, broke the glass and threw

126
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 4: a drink at Kim Richards. Y'all only use the word

127
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 4: ratchet as it applies to black people, and that pisces

128
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 4: me off. And it pisses me off because it's the

129
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 4: black audience some of y'all who run with that narrative.

130
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 4: It's the real world. Everyone in the real world. I

131
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 4: don't know any families or friendships black white agent or

132
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 4: Latino where people haven't had a huge disagreement that escalated

133
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 4: and people wanting to defend each other. That's life. White

134
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 4: folks do it, black folks do it. Everyone does it.

135
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 4: But still y'all use the word ratchet as it relates

136
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 4: to what happened in this episode. And then y'all love

137
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 4: to say, well, oh my gosh, y'all make black people

138
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 4: look bad. Let me tell y'all something, You are responsible

139
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 4: for yourself. Not one person of color should feel that

140
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 4: they carry the weight of the community or their shoulders.

141
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 4: And we all make mistakes. What's the point of living

142
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 4: this life if you're going to live this life without

143
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 4: making mistakes.

144
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 3: We all make mistakes.

145
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 4: When you guys saw Will Smith slap Chris Rock, I

146
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 4: don't think the word ratchet was ever used. And that

147
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 4: was a physical contact. And what's so interesting about that

148
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 4: moment is that happened on a mainstream stage called the

149
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,479
Speaker 4: Academy Awards. But that was an act of physical contact.

150
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 3: So that's not ratchet. But black people are having a

151
00:09:59,160 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: heated moment.

152
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 4: You need to look deep down inside and figure out

153
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 4: where it comes from and why you feel the need

154
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 4: to say it, and why you feel the need to

155
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 4: care what the white community feels about you. It's a

156
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 4: very deeper conversation in terms of why you feel the

157
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 4: need to judge a group of black folks that had

158
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 4: a moment that they apologized for and moved on from it.

159
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 4: Why can't you move on from it while you have

160
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 4: to put labels on us. That's some deep rudish shit

161
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 4: that some of you guys need to figure out moving on.

162
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: Oh Pastor King came out, baby, Okay, let me stop.

163
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 4: So, as you all know, the Real Housewives of Potomac

164
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 4: is back.

165
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 3: Yes, you know.

166
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 4: That's one of my favorite franchises. I love this show

167
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 4: so much. Mia, who is in her second season of

168
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 4: the Real house Vibes of Potomac. She recently tweeted a

169
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 4: video of an upcoming friend to the show named Jacqueline.

170
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 4: She it appeared she was being filmed cussing somebody out

171
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 4: and they're trying to say that it was like her

172
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 4: baby daddy.

173
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 3: Or something like that.

174
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 4: So long story short, Mia posted the video, and I'm

175
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 4: paraphrasing because Mia deleted the post. But Mia called out

176
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 4: violence and how violence is not okay.

177
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah.

178
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 4: So doctor Wendy saw that and responded to Mia and said,

179
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 4: and I quote girl, I know you not talking about

180
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,119
Speaker 4: not condoning violence.

181
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 3: You threw a drink on me and hit me.

182
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 4: With your purse multiple times, breaking three nails in the process.

183
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 4: You are the poster child for violence. Okay, what we

184
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 4: saw on the super trailer for this season of the

185
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 4: Real Housewives of Atomac is the fact that Mia did

186
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 4: throw a drink in Doctor Wendy's face. And yes, it

187
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 4: happened at Bar one, Miami. And guess that is Peter

188
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 4: Thomas restaurant. Oh lord Jesus, so rain drops. Doctor Wendy

189
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: just spilled some tea. Girl, I didn't know.

190
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 3: Y'all got to wait, was this a physical fight?

191
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 4: I thought she threw a drink on you and then

192
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 4: y'all were pulled away by security. But doctor Wendy is

193
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 4: alleging that Mia hit her with her purse multiple times

194
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 4: and she broke three of her nails in the process. Okay,

195
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 4: that's not okay. And look, I like Mia. I think

196
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 4: Mia is a great housewife. I just don't think it's

197
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 4: interesting when you have to have a physical fight in

198
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 4: order to have a moment. But I'm also aware that

199
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 4: shit just happens. My hope is that doctor Wendy and

200
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 4: Mia are able to move on from this, well, Child,

201
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 4: Carlos Reginald King the first you just saw that doctor

202
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 4: Wendy blasted her, So ain't not moving on?

203
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: Okay, I have to talk to myself. Okay. So yeah,

204
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 3: it looks like they ain't gonna move on from it.

205
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: So rain Drops, I want to hear from you.

206
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 4: How do you guys feel about physical violence on reality television?

207
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 3: Do you think it ruins the show?

208
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 4: Do you think it's unnecessary or do you think it

209
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 4: shouldn't happen at all and we shouldn't air it. I

210
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 4: really want to hear that. And again, I'm somebody who's

211
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 4: aware that shit just happens. But one thing that I

212
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 4: talked to my cast about, whether it's Love and Marriage,

213
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 4: Huntsville Love and Marriage, DC Bell Collective, etc.

214
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 3: Et cetera.

215
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 4: I talk to them about using the power of your

216
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 4: words in order to defend yourself, because that's what I

217
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 4: would like to see in any situation. Let's talk about it,

218
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 4: Let's have an open discussion and make sure you hashtag

219
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 4: reality with the King and without further ado, here's my

220
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 4: conversation with Tama Sharie, who child. We talked about so

221
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 4: much stuff after the Part two Bell Collective Reunion. Oh

223
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 4: Bell Collective star, Miss Tambra Sarie.

224
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: Hey girl, Hey Carlos, here are you?

225
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 3: I'm doing good.

226
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 4: Listen, we have to get into this overall season of

227
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 4: Bell Collective. The reunion has aired, a lot of people

228
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 4: have a lot to say. But before we get to

229
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 4: all of that, Tambra, I want the listeners to get

230
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 4: to know you. Talk to us Tambra about how did

231
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 4: you get started.

232
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 3: In radio being the mid a diva?

233
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 4: Knowing that you come from very humble beginnings in Jackson, Mississippi.

234
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: I started in college through a internship. My major is

235
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: not mass communications. I actually went to I was in

236
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: business school in management and marketing. I had the NBA degree,

237
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: But I realized when I interned at a corporation, I

238
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: would finish the work really fast. I would start looking

239
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: at entertainment news like that, I would start listening to

240
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: music like I loved entertainment. So I interned at a

241
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: radio station and from there the rest is history.

242
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 4: And how long have you been a radio personality? Because listen,

243
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 4: we like to humble brag on reality with the king.

244
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 3: Because I believe in giving people their.

245
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 4: Flowers, especially while they're still alive. So you have been

246
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 4: the number one Miday Diva in Jackson, Mississippi for a

247
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 4: very long time. Talk to us about that and what

248
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 4: is your goal with being this radio personality that now

249
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 4: is a television personality.

250
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: Well, honestly, this is my third radio station throughout my career.

251
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 2: This is my third.

252
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: Yes, so yes, I started. I started as an entertainment

253
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: news reporter. I started. I was doing overnights when I

254
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: was interning. Then when we became actually on air, I

255
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: started doing entertainment news. And I was doing an entertainment

256
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: news reporter in the afternoons on another station. And then

257
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: when I had I came to ninety seven is Black

258
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: owner bought this station. I was doing television in this market.

259
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: I was actually doing television on CW thirty four. I

260
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: was doing an entertainment television program where I was interviewing

261
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: artists and covering events on that show as well. So

262
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: that's how and then they came. They found out about me,

263
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: and I don't even remember interviewing for the job. I

264
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: don't remember filling out an application. I just came in

265
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: and it was like you're hired, and that's my story.

266
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: I will say this and then you'll learn this about me.

267
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: As far as like internships, I remember the very first

268
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: time I did intern at a radio station. I remember

269
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: walking in and they were putting me with the midday

270
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: personality that was at that radio station. And I was

271
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: so excited because I loved like this person was super talented.

272
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: I listened to her every day, so I was excited.

273
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: And the program.

274
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: Director walked me in and he's like, you'll be interning

275
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: with her. As soon as he walked out, She's like,

276
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: I do not know why they brought you in here.

277
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't even do interns, and that lady did not

278
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,239
Speaker 1: speak to me for weeks. I would just do her

279
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: entertainment news exactly exactly, and we're friends to this day now.

280
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: Now I grew on her, but I vowed to never

281
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: do another female in this industry like.

282
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: I was done.

283
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 4: You know what is so interesting, I'm so happy you

284
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 4: shared that story because it reminds me of just how

285
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 4: important internships are. So I got my start in this

286
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 4: business being the king of internships because I'm a student

287
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 4: of entertainment.

288
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 3: So I would read.

289
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 4: Endless articles and biographies of just celebrities right and puff daddy.

290
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 4: This is like in the nineties. He would always say

291
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 4: intern intern. So, long story short, I moved to New

292
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 4: York City. I intern at The View twenty twenty primetime

293
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 4: Live of Barbara Walters MTV, and my last internship was

294
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 4: at Beet And what you said about your experience is

295
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 4: very similar to mine. Long story short. When you have

296
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 4: a calling in your life, it can either make people

297
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 4: embrace you or make people shun you because I'm just

298
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 4: gonna say it, because of jealousy and their own insecurities. Long

299
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 4: story short, this woman was so mean to me. Okay,

300
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 4: she she was the department head of the network and

301
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 4: she did not like me at all.

302
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 3: So mind you. I was twenty five years old at

303
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 3: this time.

304
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 4: While some people think at twenty five you need to

305
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 4: be making six figures and.

306
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 3: At the height of your career. No, my journey was different.

307
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 4: So I was twenty five years old, still in college,

308
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:56,959
Speaker 4: and this woman hated on me so much that she

309
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 4: would never speak to me. She saw how other people

310
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 4: loved me and admire my work. And when I got

311
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 4: hired to be a production assistant, I got paid less

312
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 4: than my white counterpart, who was also an intern. That

313
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 4: got promoted to be a PA and he and I

314
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 4: exchanged stories about how much we're making, and I've realized

315
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 4: he was making fifty dollars more than me, and I

316
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 4: was devastated, like, I'm this black boy trying to make

317
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 4: it at this network and you're paying this white boy

318
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 4: fifty dollars more than me. Okay, it gets worse. Then

319
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 4: I got this PA job. She told my boss to

320
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 4: fire me, and she said, I just don't like him.

321
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 4: He walks around smiling all day. He's he's always happy,

322
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 4: which means he's not working. And all I see him

323
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 4: do is talk to people. This this whatever so long

324
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 4: story short. It goes to show you that when you

325
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 4: are coming up in this business, always the tey to

326
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 4: match negativity with negativity, and you always have to stand

327
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 4: into your purpose and know that people's problem with you

328
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 4: has nothing to do with you, and then you have

329
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 4: to rise above it.

330
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 3: And look where I am now, Look where you are now.

331
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 4: And I know my listeners are either starting in their

332
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 4: career or already into their career, and some may be interns.

333
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 4: Our purpose is to share these stories so that when

334
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 4: people are going through this experience right now, they know

335
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 4: never match the.

336
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 3: Energy, always rise above it, and.

337
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 4: I guarantee you you're going to win in the end.

338
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, because you can easily get discouraged in this industry.

339
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 2: We go through things.

340
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: So what it is when I find women who genuinely

341
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: care about you and who genuinely want to see.

342
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 2: Other women win. I love that because I did not

343
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 2: have that.

344
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 3: Baby.

345
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 4: I hate t interrupt, but stay two because we'll get

346
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 4: back into my conversation with Tama Charie right after this

347
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 4: quick break.

348
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 3: This is reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King.

349
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 4: Let's get back into my conversation with Tambra Scherie. Let's

350
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 4: get started about Bell Collective, a show about women supporting women.

351
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: Are you sure? Are you sure?

352
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 4: Well, honey, I watched it and sold millions of people

353
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 4: because this season was litty okay, So with Bill Collector

354
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 4: first camera around, I'm gonna give y'all some insider tea.

355
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 4: So long story short, I decided to go through this

356
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 4: consultation where this wonderful I named Jacoby McGee was like,

357
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 4: I want, you know, I want to pitch a show

358
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 4: to you, mister King, about Latitia Pearce's Brunch. I want

359
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 4: the show to be about that, and I was like,

360
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 4: I don't know, that's too small.

361
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 3: I like to think bigger.

362
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 4: And I said, I want to do a show about

363
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 4: the movers and shakers of Jackson, Mississippi, black women who

364
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 4: are married or in relationships or just to show the

365
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 4: success of these women and also to show that you

366
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 4: don't have to live in the big cities in order

367
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 4: to be successful. And long story short, I met Letitia

368
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 4: and I got a chance to meet all these women.

369
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 4: Tamborough Cherie was not a part of the pilot. So

370
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 4: this is what happens oftentimes in television. So when you

371
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 4: pitch a reality show to a network, nine times out

372
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 4: of ten, you have to shoot a pilot. It's called

373
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 4: a proof of concept. You have to show if this

374
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 4: show is worthy of being greenlit to a series where

375
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 4: you get multiple episodes. So we did a pilot with

376
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 4: five black women and Jackson. We have Marie Latrese, Latitia, Antoinette,

377
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 4: and another female and the show was great.

378
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 3: The pilot was great. We got picked up to a series.

379
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 4: A few weeks before filming, one other ladies backed out

380
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 4: and we were like, oh.

381
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 3: My gosh, what's about to happen.

382
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 4: That guy Jakobe I said, look, honey, can you give

383
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 4: me some more names of entrepreneur women and Jackson.

384
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 3: I got a list of names.

385
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 4: I saw Tambracheries tape and I said, there is something

386
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 4: special about this woman.

387
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 3: I never told you this story, tamber. I said, there's

388
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 3: something special about her.

389
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 4: She has star quality, she's super humble, and I just

390
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 4: love the fact that.

391
00:24:58,840 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 3: She was born and raising jacks.

392
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 4: And then I pitched you to the network and they said,

393
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 4: we see what you see, and Miss Tambra got a

394
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 4: call and two weeks later she started filming Bill Collective.

395
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, it was very.

396
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: Fast for me. Yes, thank you, Carlos, thank you.

397
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,479
Speaker 1: And I tell people all the time they're like hello us,

398
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: and no, for me, it went by so fast. And

399
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: I was the last person to pretty much come on

400
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: this show, and the process went very very fast, like

401
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: we interviewed, and I literally felt like I was feeling

402
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: like you said just weeks later.

403
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 2: And I'm thankful for.

404
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: That because that goes back to say, when God has

405
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 1: something for you, it's for you. And I strongly believe that.

406
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: And I was not familiar with you.

407
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 2: I was already with you. Yes, I was.

408
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: Already familiar with you. Your work like. It's just like an alignment.

409
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: And I share this story all the time. In that

410
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 1: particular year, when I received that I had Owned on

411
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: my diss board, I had Oprah Winfrey on my division board.

412
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: I did, but in my mind I was thinking because

413
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: I have a book, my book Surrounded by Sin, Grounded

414
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: by Love.

415
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: I had this.

416
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: Book and I knew Oprah had a book club. So

417
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: when I did that vision board, I've always loved Oprah.

418
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: Of course I look up to her, and I had Owned,

419
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: but I did not put the pieces together. There was

420
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: I was not thinking a reality show on own because

421
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: I did not know anything about one.

422
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 4: It's super inspirational and informational because I had no idea

423
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 4: that you had Oprah and Own on your vision board.

424
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 4: And it goes to show you that when you operate

425
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 4: in your spirituality and manifest the life that you have, it.

426
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 3: Does come true. I'm a big manifestor.

427
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 4: Like I love to hear that because it goes to

428
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 4: show you two Tambra that you were destined to be

429
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 4: on the show. Because when one door closes, when the

430
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 4: other female decided not to do the show, it opened

431
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 4: the door for you to come in and make your mark.

432
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 4: So let's talk about the first season, knowing that a

433
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 4: reality show was list.

434
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 2: Look, I had to tell you.

435
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: I had to tell this story because you just said

436
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: something that made me think about it.

437
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 2: You just said something.

438
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: You just said something that was not on my vision

439
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: board when it came to own an Oprah before the

440
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: year before, there was a reality show that was trying

441
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: to come to Jackson that actually interviewed me. That was

442
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: a reality show that was trying to come to Jackson

443
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: that actually interviewed me, And it was something I would

444
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: give you a little inside about it, you know, since

445
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: we're talking.

446
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 2: But they interviewed ladies and men that were.

447
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: Very kind of like super successful, and they were like

448
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: they kept saying the word rich. Okay, So I remember,

449
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: to make a long story short. I remember calling this

450
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: guy who had interviewed me and I said, I don't

451
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: think this is for me. I just really I don't

452
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: think I'm a fit for this. And he told me,

453
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: and it was a Caucasian man, he said, you're making

454
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: the biggest mistake because opportunities like this will never come

455
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: around again.

456
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 2: A year later, you came around, so trut and that

457
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 2: show never was picked up.

458
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 4: So here's some tea from my rain drops. I know

459
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 4: exactly what sure you're talking about, Tamboro. So I'm not listening.

460
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 4: People think I'm messy. I'm not really messy because I

461
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 4: would say the name of the networks. But I'll say this, Yeah,

462
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 4: I'll say this. Two cable networks were trying to do

463
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 4: a show in Jackson, Mississippi, around the time that I

464
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 4: was figuring things out with Bell Collector. One network is

465
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 4: a major network, major cable network, and they wanted to

466
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 4: do a franchise in Jackson so much so one of

467
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 4: the ladies that I wanted to be a part of

468
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 4: my show, long story show, she turned me down and

469
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 4: she said, no, I'm going to go over here because

470
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 4: this network is more mainstream. And she said to the

471
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 4: other cast members who are still on the show, Shade,

472
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 4: she told them, come over on this show because it's

473
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 4: going to be a better look for us because it's

474
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 4: more listen.

475
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna be river ch'all.

476
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 4: She inferred that because this network had more white audiences, right, Tambra,

477
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 4: She felt this network had more white audiences and a

478
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 4: lot of people felt that white is right. And she

479
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 4: decided not to do Bell Collective because she felt it

480
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 4: was going to be ghetto and she felt like I

481
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 4: Am going to be the Queen Bee of this other show.

482
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 4: And all I'm going to say is that show did

483
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 4: not get picked up. They shot a pilot and Bell

484
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 4: Collective is coming on their second season and the rest

485
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 4: is history.

486
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 3: But I digress, honey, and I.

487
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 4: Spoke about this to Akesha because Akesha talked about how,

488
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 4: you know, she was approach to do real house swats

489
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 4: in New Jersey. And one thing I always tell my

490
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,719
Speaker 4: listeners is this, you can't always go for the shiny penny.

491
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 4: There is something interesting about being a big fish in

492
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 4: a small pond. And in no way and I'm saying

493
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 4: I'm a small pond or whatever or anything, I'm attached

494
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 4: to a small pond. A lot of people in the

495
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 4: black community feel like white is right, and they will

496
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 4: turn down an opportunity to work with a black organization

497
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 4: person because they feel like it's too.

498
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 3: Small for them.

499
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 4: And as a creator of reality TV, I get that

500
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 4: a lot from my black counterparts who I may want

501
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 4: to hop on a show. And I had a conversation

502
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 4: with a cast member one of my shows and she

503
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 4: was like, you know, I just wish our shows have

504
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 4: more eyeballs. And I said, actually, your shows have enough

505
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 4: eyeballs because look at Melody Hote. She had three singles

506
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 4: reach number one, and there's other girls on other networks

507
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 4: who can't even get a number one single.

508
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: For me, I believe every platform I has the purpose

509
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: of its own.

510
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 4: Yes, I gotta get into your first season. A lot

511
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 4: of people leave nasty comments on the page's girl, and

512
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,479
Speaker 4: they love to read you for filth. You had that

513
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 4: experienced season one. People talked about your hair Tambra, They

514
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 4: talked about your voice, they talked about everything associated with you.

515
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 4: What was it like, makeup, make up, everything, everything. What

516
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 4: was it like for the first time experiencing being in

517
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 4: front of the camera weekly and being judged?

518
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 3: Was that hard for you?

519
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 2: No?

520
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you that because it wasn't, because actually

521
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: I had gone through that. When I guess host on

522
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: Bring It and then Bring It, You're dealing with kids

523
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: and children who were always on Twitter, and so I

524
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: dealt with that. When I was guest hosting on Bring It, Like,

525
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: people are like, who is this? She looks like a

526
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: little broken version of Nikki Mna girl?

527
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 2: Who is this? Housting?

528
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 4: Like?

529
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: Ye? Like when you're dealing with kids.

530
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: You do have to think about this industry already prepared

531
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: me for Bell Collective because at the end of the day,

532
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: everyone is a critic in radio. So all God did

533
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: was prepare me for what was next.

534
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: That's all he did. That is it, and that's just

535
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 2: the truth.

536
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: So when it came to that, no one thing, I

537
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: can honestly say, I'm always going to stay grounded and

538
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm always going to have a positive attitude. That's what

539
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: and I'm going to stay that way. It took a

540
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: while to get here. I grew up in this industry.

541
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: Think about it. I've been here since I was in college.

542
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: I've gone through a lot, so that doesn't bother me.

543
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: There are so many people more people that absolutely love you,

544
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: and sometimes people dislike the way people love you, and

545
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: they'll hate you for that, just because the way other

546
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: people look at you and love you.

547
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 2: And you have to understand that.

548
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: So every like I said before, every platform has a purpose,

549
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: and for me, it has to have a purpose, and

550
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: Bell Collective has a strong purpose for me. Yes, we

551
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: are going to entertain you, but in the same time,

552
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna be informed, you're gonna be inspired, you're gonna

553
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: be motivated.

554
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 2: We're gonna encourage you.

555
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna be able to see something in all of

556
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: us that you're gonna be able to relate to. That's

557
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: what's important. And I'll be honest with you. I want

558
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: to call from my high school from someone in my

559
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: high school this morning that watched last week's episode.

560
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 2: And I'll be honest, I have.

561
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: Not even seen it all because it's totally honest, But

562
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: I Kisch and I went to the same high school.

563
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: She wanted us. I guess it's bullying going on with girls.

564
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: How do you deal with that? She wanted us to

565
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: come and speak to young women to see how you

566
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: resolve issues and you stick together and show sisterhood. That

567
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: came off of Bell Collective. That's the things that's important

568
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: to me. That's purpose. That's what I.

569
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 2: Love about it.

570
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 4: I love hearing that because you know, listen, producing reality

571
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 4: TV as a black man, I get a lot of

572
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 4: shade just based on.

573
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 3: Oh my God, look at You is a drama Cheryl Tayane.

574
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 3: It's like, girls shut up.

575
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 4: Like at the end of the day, there is a

576
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 4: bigger message here, and if you want to just focus

577
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 4: on what you want to focus on. That's on you, sis,

578
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 4: But I know that my purpose is I have given

579
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 4: so many opportunities to Black people in front, up and

580
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 4: behind the camera. I have given more opportunities to Black

581
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 4: women in front and behind the camera. I have given

582
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 4: more opportunities to the lgpt Q IA plus community in

583
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 4: front and behind the camera. So I don't care what

584
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 4: anyone says about Bell, Collective Love and Marriage, Hans Bell,

585
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 4: beyond Core, the list goes on and on. I know

586
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 4: that I am building generational wealth, not only for myself

587
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 4: but for the people who are associated with me, because

588
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 4: I know what it feels like to not have anyone

589
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 4: support you.

590
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 3: Tamber knows the same thing.

591
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 4: You are such an inspiration, Tamber because when it comes

592
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 4: to your storyline specifically, what I love about your honesty

593
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 4: is you represent the career woman who said in her

594
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 4: twenties and thirties, you.

595
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 3: Know what I gotta, I gotta focus on my career.

596
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 4: I gotta there's a place in my life that I

597
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 4: want to be at. And you decided that after forty

598
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 4: you know what, I want to have a baby. The

599
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 4: time is now, and you are educating black women through

600
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 4: the television screen about out listen, maybe don't wait until

601
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 4: your forties to decide to do something with your fibroids

602
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 4: and eggs. Try maybe doing that in your twenties or thirties.

603
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 4: And that messaging has come across and that is the

604
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 4: reason why Bell Collective is the number one docuseries on

605
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 4: Friday nights, like.

606
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: Thank You and I'm happy to be a part of

607
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 1: it because our stories matter.

608
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 4: No, it does, it does, and listen what comes with

609
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 4: being on reality television. Yes, is spreading the messages of

610
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 4: success and being an inspiration, but it also talks about

611
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:40,720
Speaker 4: some very deep issues and experiencing sometimes, you know, issues

612
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 4: within friendships. It's no secret that you and Akisha went

613
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 4: to high school together and that over the course of

614
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 4: just years y'all kept in touch, not being best friends

615
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 4: or being close friends.

616
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 3: But just kept in touch.

617
00:36:54,520 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 4: It was revealed on the reunion that you elect made

618
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 4: it seem to Latisha and Latrees that you did not

619
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 4: want Akesha a part of the cast. Akesha was on

620
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 4: this podcast and she felt like after the reunion, she

621
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 4: doesn't understand the relationship that you and her have. What

622
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 4: was it about that initial conversation you had with Latisha

623
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 4: and Latrese where they both felt that tam Bra does

624
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 4: not want Akesha on the show.

625
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 2: Okay, let's clear that up. Let's clear that up. Since

626
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 2: we're here, that's not true.

627
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: That's absolutely not true that I did not want her.

628
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 2: That's insane. That's not true.

629
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: Now since we're here and we're off camera. When it

630
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: comes to the comment that I made as far as

631
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: her being very blunt, because I do believe a Keisha

632
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: is very blunt. She's been blunt with me. Akesha, she

633
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: is absolutely.

634
00:37:58,760 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 2: I remember that from high school.

635
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: She just said some things to me in high school

636
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: and I was like, dang, she is blunt, like she

637
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: is like you know, And I did say she will

638
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,479
Speaker 1: throw some shade. I said that, but let's be clear,

639
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 1: I initially said that to a producer, not to the girls.

640
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 2: So when it came to.

641
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 1: Aikeisha coming on, I asked Akesha herself before casting and everything.

642
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: I say, are you gonna come to Jackson. I had

643
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: a conversation with her. So when she said yes, that

644
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: was it.

645
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 3: That was it for me.

646
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 2: That was it. But when I talked to.

647
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: Latsha, I did tell her, look, she is blunt and

648
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: she gonna throw shade. Latitia was out for it. Latinisa

649
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 1: was like, this is what we need. Yes, it wasn't

650
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: an issue.

651
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 4: I definitely hear what you're saying and then listen. One

652
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 4: of the things that really struck struck a nerve with

653
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 4: the with the bells was the comment about Aikeisha allegedly

654
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 4: calling the girls ugly or saying they're not cute. Right,

655
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 4: So let's just say, for argument, wow, why would it

656
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 4: go ahead?

657
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 1: Why would it strike a Why would it strike a

658
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: nerve if you think that she's not talking about.

659
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 4: You, well, I mean, why would it strike a nerve?

660
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: Latrice said it, I know she's not talking about me,

661
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: and she left it alone.

662
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 3: So when you told the girls that, I didn't.

663
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 2: Tell the girls, I told her producer. That's why.

664
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: I said, that's where it's that's where the miscommunication comes.

665
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 2: And I told Latsia.

666
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 3: Did Laticia go back and tell the girls.

667
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: I'm giving you the I'm giving you the REOs, yes,

668
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: and so I'm going to give you the reality, I

669
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: told Laticia, and I used that as an example when

670
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: she said, as far as blunt, what do you mean?

671
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: And I'll be honest, I don't want to give the

672
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: reunion too much away. It was something that she saw.

673
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: It was really something she saw. She had not met

674
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: the girls yet. She saw something and she did not

675
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 1: and she was just like, oh, girl, they didn't have anyone.

676
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: And she didn't use the word ugly. She was like,

677
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: they didn't have anymore. And that's why I said it

678
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: was she was like, oh, she's blunt like that. It

679
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: was never an issue.

680
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 3: Let's get into it because the.

681
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 4: First four letters of reality with the key Huddy is real.

682
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 3: So let's talk says.

683
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 4: A lot of people on Twitter have said they felt

684
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 4: like Latitia was a ghost producer.

685
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 3: A lot of.

686
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 4: People, including me, will call that a force multiplier. It's

687
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 4: sort of the cast member who moves story around.

688
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 3: But Letitia has been.

689
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 4: Accused of being a ghost producer by the fan, meaning

690
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 4: she she goes and tells people think, oh, they feel

691
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 4: like she has her hands and a lot of the stuff.

692
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 3: Do you feel like Letsha.

693
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 4: May have set you up so that there could be

694
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 4: drama at the hands of Tambora sery.

695
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 2: I feel like.

696
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: That's the only reason I told Latitia that because I

697
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: did feel like she had a hand in the creation

698
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 1: and creator of the show. So when we're talking about casting,

699
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: that was why I used that example when I said,

700
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: yes she's gonna be blunt and yes she's gonna throw shade.

701
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 2: I did not lie. I Kisha brought all that and

702
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 2: I was here for.

703
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: It, so to be honest, I did not tell a

704
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: lie none whatsoever. Like it's just the reality of it.

705
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: That's what she She brought a lot, and to me,

706
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: they were excited about that, so I didn't really understand

707
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: when it came. But I, like I did say when

708
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: we were filming, I was told, well, tell me, they

709
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 1: say you don't have drama. I felt like I had

710
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: plenty of drama going on. To be honest with you,

711
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: because I felt.

712
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 4: Like, oh, no, you did that, felt like I had.

713
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 4: Oh you absolutely did, and we're gonna get into that too.

714
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 4: But that's why. That's why for me, I'm so confused

715
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 4: by it, and a lot of people saw at the reunion,

716
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 4: I was very confused, and someone's Marie to me, it

717
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 4: felt like Latitia and Latrese had something on you that

718
00:41:55,440 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 4: they didn't want to reveal, and it appeared that you.

719
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 3: Were in the hot seat and it affected.

720
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 4: How Akesha saw you. Did you feel that at the

721
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 4: reunion two?

722
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,959
Speaker 1: I mean I kind of felt like I didn't feel

723
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: like I had just friends.

724
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying?

725
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,919
Speaker 1: I felt like that they really That's why I asked

726
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: the question. I felt like I didn't say anything for

727
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: you to even feel that way. To be honest, I

728
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: felt like there was nothing I said for you to

729
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 1: feel that way. That's why I'm like, what did I say?

730
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: I don't even talk about people, So what did I

731
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:33,760
Speaker 1: say for you to feel that way? And my intention

732
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: was I thought I was helping get her here.

733
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 2: That's all it was.

734
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: I didn't mean anything for it to be bad like

735
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: that was never the case. That was never the case

736
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: at all. When it came to casting, I thought I

737
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: was helping oooh okay.

738
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 3: Oh right, well we cleaned that up. Okay, So it

739
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 3: all in all? You felt like me me.

740
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 4: Talking about Akesha's characteristics. Let's say that is me helping

741
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 4: to get her on the show because the show needs

742
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 4: somebody who's blunt.

743
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 3: Because one thing we know.

744
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 4: I get it now, I see it all. It took

745
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 4: all that girl, Now I get it. Because one thing

746
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 4: we know about Southern belles, oftentimes Southern bells aren't aren't

747
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 4: in your face shady. They're very sly shady. They talk

748
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 4: behind your back shady, but in your face they're very

749
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 4: much like hey girl was tee but you felt like

750
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 4: na Akesha is going to be blunt up in your

751
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 4: face and that's what the show needs, and now I

752
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 4: get it, yes, and.

753
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 2: That's what it needs.

754
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: And a lot of people don't like people they cannot control,

755
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 1: and you can't control Akesha and that's what I love

756
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: about her.

757
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 2: And a lot of people feel that when.

758
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: You can't control a person, they want to have some

759
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: type of control and if you don't have control, that

760
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: becomes a threat. And I love that about her because

761
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: I know you can't control her, and that's what I like.

762
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: That's the person, that's the characteristic that you want. I

763
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: found Aikeisha and our families are into swine, like I

764
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: know like that some of the to they are into swine.

765
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: And we have cousins that are cousins. My father grew

766
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: up with her mom, like our grandparents knew each other.

767
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: So it's like that's why I said, like, you know,

768
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: I know she's big on family, just like me. So

769
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: I look at a Keisha a different way because I

770
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: look at her as family. And you can argue with family.

771
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 1: I have thirty first cousins. Notice I said first cousins.

772
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: I come from a big family. We can have a disagreement,

773
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 1: and once we have a disagreement, we're playing at six o'clock.

774
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 2: And we had a.

775
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: Disagreement at twelve. That's the type of family I come from.

776
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 4: Well, I Keisha said on Reality with the King that

777
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 4: it's going to be hard for her.

778
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 3: To get past y'all beef.

779
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 4: And she said that she thought she was able to

780
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 4: get past it, but she can't, and that she's going

781
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 4: to have and I quote.

782
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't know that.

783
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,479
Speaker 3: She yeah, she said, and I quote, oh, I didn't

784
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 3: know that.

785
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 4: I'm gonna let Tamba run around behind Tisha like a

786
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 4: lab dog, because that's the same woman who brought her

787
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 4: man's you know, side check on the show.

788
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't know that. Look, look, I got the

789
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 2: news to me. I didn't know that. This was after

790
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 2: the reunion because I talked to her. I dropt some

791
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 2: gifts off for her kids.

792
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 3: She said this last week.

793
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 2: Girl, Oh yeah, but you know what look like like.

794
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 2: I did not know that.

795
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 3: But at the same time, well, how do you feel

796
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 3: knowing that now?

797
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 2: Ahead I still feel the same I'm not.

798
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: That's not going to change how I feel like at

799
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 1: the end of the day, that's not going to change

800
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: how I feel, you know. And I say people try

801
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: to play sides, like I've heard things that they try

802
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 1: to tell me. A Keisha said about me that stuff

803
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 1: goes in one ear and really goes out the other.

804
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: That's why I say I'm built a little different. I've

805
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: heard things like here. I don't know if they're true.

806
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't care to be honest. I go off of

807
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 1: people how they treat me, and that's still the same

808
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 1: how she treats me.

809
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 2: That's what's important.

810
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: If like Keisha's out there and I'm passing by and

811
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 1: she's outside fighting on the side of the road, I'm

812
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: pulling over taking my shoes and I'm helping her. But

813
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: the crazy thing about that, Carlos, I would do that

814
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: for each and every one of these ladies on the show,

815
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: even if they will not do it for me. That's

816
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: my character. That is my character. I'm used to cheering

817
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: for people who do not cheer for me, and I'm

818
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,479
Speaker 1: okay with that. I will always be that way. That's

819
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 1: not going to change, and that's the truth.

820
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 4: Did it hurt your feelings when you saw that your

821
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 4: cast members brought the decorator in my Tambor.

822
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 3: Voice, because Tabah.

823
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 4: Real Talk said, when you say the decorator, it sends me. I,

824
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 4: me and the fans of the show have definitely called

825
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,919
Speaker 4: on with your emphasis of decorator.

826
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 3: I think it's hilarious, but.

827
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 1: The decorating, that's what she is. She will never be

828
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: able to say that I kept her name.

829
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 2: In my mouth. That will not happen.

830
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 4: That will not happen and be real because and not

831
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 4: saying you haven't been real, you are is real. But

832
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 4: did it hurt your feelings though, Tambor a little bit,

833
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 4: knowing that you had to watch your Cold stars and

834
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:08,720
Speaker 4: your friends film with her and bring her around.

835
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, because I would never do that to them.

836
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: And I've had plenty of chances. I've had people calling

837
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: this radio station. I work at a radio station. I

838
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: have people calling, I have people with stories, I have

839
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: people giving names and dates. I don't entertain any of that.

840
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: People come to me all the time, bring me on

841
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: the show, bring it. I don't entertain any of that.

842
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: That's why I said, you can't expect.

843
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 2: You from everyone. I wouldn't have done it.

844
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: You saw my parents they've been married for what fifty

845
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 1: two fifty three years? My grandparents they've been married for

846
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,280
Speaker 1: fifty years. I was always taught the relationship is between

847
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: two people, and that's the success of a relationship. No

848
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,760
Speaker 1: one matters but the two of you. I don't speak

849
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 1: on their relationships because it's not my business to speak

850
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: on These are marriages. These are marriages. I don't speak

851
00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: on their marriages.

852
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 3: That's just me.

853
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 2: Everyone is different.

854
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: But I learned you can't expect you from other people.

855
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 2: Just be true to yourself.

856
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 4: Speaking of relationships, we saw at the reunion that you

857
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 4: and Demand are living together and having unprotected sex.

858
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

859
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 4: I know that's a lot to celebrate, but I listen, girl,

860
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 4: work are things between you and Themond now? Because one

861
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 4: I think about Demand and a lot of people did

862
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 4: not get a chance to see all the behind the

863
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 4: scenes stuff of me and the month When I say

864
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 4: I love Demond, he's such a good guy. Demon is

865
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 4: a home grown Mississippian and all jumps aside, like he

866
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 4: and I have a great time and we're together.

867
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 3: I think he's such a good guy.

868
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:59,240
Speaker 4: And I listen, No cap I adore Demand, I really

869
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 4: do and I adored him a lot because at the

870
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 4: end of the day, he did not have to come

871
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 4: on the show because we saw that other people man

872
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,919
Speaker 4: did not come on the show child, So I appreciate

873
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 4: a mom for doing that. How does it feel knowing

874
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 4: that a lot of people thought, like Tambra, this relationship

875
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 4: is fake, he's not really into you. It's obvious he's

876
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 4: cheating on you. Did that do a number on you?

877
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 4: Reading these things and hearing that low key? Some of

878
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 4: your castmates felt the same way.

879
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, to be honest with you, well, when it comes

880
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: to castmates, it's just really let me know how they

881
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: really don't know me, because if you know me, you

882
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: would actually know him, and role people who know me

883
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 1: know him, And so it did. But I actually, when

884
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: it came to demand, I honestly felt not the best

885
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: for him because I always knew the truth and because

886
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: first and foremost, you can't cheat on someone that you're

887
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: not with. That's just the truth of it. So for me,

888
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: it hurts to see him so upset and so hurt

889
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 1: because he's here because he wanted me back. That's the

890
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 1: only reason he's here. That was the only reason he's apart,

891
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: because he actually came in a part of my life

892
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: where he's working to get me back.

893
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 2: Last season, you.

894
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: Guys had a whole thing ex boyfriend, so you have

895
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: to think about that when we were not together, and

896
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: so when we do make this decision to maybe let's

897
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: try this again, because Deman and I we were apart

898
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: for many years. We were apart, and I don't know

899
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: if the viewers realized that that we were actually apart

900
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: for so long. And throughout those years, you grow, you

901
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: really do. So when you have this like okay, well

902
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,800
Speaker 1: let's try it again, as soon as you try it again,

903
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:56,240
Speaker 1: it's like you're hit with he's cheating and he knew

904
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 1: he did not cheat.

905
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 2: He knew that.

906
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: So he's such a behind the scenes person that he's not.

907
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: He didn't know how to deal with that. You know,

908
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: he felt like he didn't have a voice. He did

909
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 1: not know how to deal with it whatsoever. He's used

910
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 1: to being very supportive of me and encouraging me through

911
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: everything because I've always been at the forefront. So now

912
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 1: when he's hit, I'm trying to steal encourage him. I'm

913
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: still trying to teach him how to deal with that.

914
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: And that does take a strain because our focus now

915
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 1: it becomes off of us and we're focused on other things.

916
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: I always say, whatever you focus on growth, That's why

917
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 1: I don't give a lot of things the energy because

918
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 1: you're only adding to it. Whatever you focus on growth.

919
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: So when I took that focus off us and we

920
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: started putting on other things, it took it. It took

921
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: it off of us, and so we're at a halt

922
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: when we were really working to feel something. But then

923
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,879
Speaker 1: we came at a stop sign because we're dealing with

924
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: other things and I'm trying to teach him how.

925
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 2: To get through.

926
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: This is not his industry at all. He's not used

927
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: to that. He's not used to critics. He's not used

928
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: to people talking about him like. He's not used to that,

929
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, you know I am because it took a

930
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: while to get here. Think about how many years I've

931
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: been here. That takes a while to build up. So

932
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: I was used to it, but he wasn't. So it

933
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 1: takes a strain on him because he's having to hear it.

934
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: Although he's never he's still never sit down and watch

935
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: the show because he just can't. He gets it from

936
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: his mom, his sisters that are mad, his his his

937
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,359
Speaker 1: family that are calling from Chicago, and with they they're mad,

938
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,080
