Speaker 1: I'm a homegrowl that knows a little bit about everything
Speaker 1: and everybody.
Speaker 2: You know, if you don't lie about that, right, Lauren
Speaker 2: came in, Hey, y'all, what's up.
Speaker 3: It's Laura l.
Speaker 1: Rosa and this is another episode of the Latest with
Speaker 1: Laura Rosa.
Speaker 3: This is your Deily diggo on things, pop culture.
Speaker 1: Entertainment, news and all of the conversations that shake the room.
Speaker 3: Baby.
Speaker 1: So y'all know, we kick off The Latest with Laura
Speaker 1: Rosa with checking in behind the scenes of the Grind.
Speaker 1: You all ready, let's get to it, all right, y'all.
Speaker 1: So we're checking out behind the scenes of the Grind
Speaker 1: today Today. I am honestly just getting through work. This
Speaker 1: is like a regular weekday for me. I'm here at
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club studio recording the podcast. We finished up
Speaker 1: the day we did lunch. I was joking with one
Speaker 1: of my coworkers here or Taylor, y'all know Taylor Taylor
Speaker 1: made It who produces the podcast The Latest, Lona Rosa.
Speaker 1: I was joking to her and I was like, working
Speaker 1: for a corporation is so crazy. If you think about it,
Speaker 1: like one day you can go from like having to
Speaker 1: like sit down and have like real meetings with each
Speaker 1: other and be very honest about what the other person
Speaker 1: isn't doing right, that is, you know, getting you from
Speaker 1: the goal.
Speaker 3: The next day, everything is cool.
Speaker 1: The day after that, y'all sitting down and eating lunch together,
Speaker 1: Like it is a very like you have to be
Speaker 1: very emotionally mature, and if even not emotionally mature, you
Speaker 1: have to just really understand the climate of corporate structure
Speaker 1: like here, and I was not even just here at
Speaker 1: the company I work for, you guys know. And when
Speaker 1: I say company I work for, the podcast is via
Speaker 1: Black Effect, but the podcast is in partnership with iHeart.
Speaker 3: iHeart is also a breakfast club. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Breakfast club is also iHeart company as well. But any corporation,
Speaker 1: like I think back to, like, you know, when I
Speaker 1: worked in banking, I worked at a Barcolay card Us
Speaker 1: and Delaware, and I was there for about like two years.
Speaker 1: I worked in the community relations department, so we were
Speaker 1: like the marketing team for like philanthropy for the bank.
Speaker 3: That's the best way to put it.
Speaker 1: But even at like I recently saw a post from
Speaker 1: my previous balls, she's like chief operating officer at like
Speaker 1: some huge, you know, fintech company now, And I just
Speaker 1: remember us being so young and having like our disagreements.
Speaker 3: And then being cool.
Speaker 1: And like, you know, some of my first corporate banking
Speaker 1: experiences outside of Delaware just in general, even in Delaware
Speaker 1: happened with her, Like I remember going to like, you know,
Speaker 1: there would be like these certain happy hours in Wall
Speaker 1: Street that we would go to, and we would be
Speaker 1: here in New York taking meetings, and then literally like
Speaker 1: we'd be doing that on Friday, and on Monday, we'd
Speaker 1: be in a meeting potentially talking about y'all, y'all understand
Speaker 1: the dynamic I'm talking about, right, Yeah, For some reason,
Speaker 1: I was thinking about that today, Like the emotional maturity
Speaker 1: inability to compartmentalize that is needed in order to be
Speaker 1: able to survive the corporate structure is insane. And I
Speaker 1: don't even think it's like even surviving the corporate structure.
Speaker 1: I really think it goes into like life too. Like
Speaker 1: I think how you are and what you learn to
Speaker 1: be and how you learn to navigate in a professional
Speaker 1: setting creates a whole different level of like goals and
Speaker 1: just different things you want to do in your personal life.
Speaker 1: Being an adult is crazy. I'm just rambling now because
Speaker 1: oh my god, that has been me today, literally reflecting.
Speaker 1: I woke up this morning like, thank you guy, I
Speaker 1: have a job and just was reflecting because Lord, life
Speaker 1: was just you just never know where you're gonna end up.
Speaker 3: It's like the most insane thing. I was.
Speaker 1: Actually I fell asleep last night watching key Keypon and
Speaker 1: Whoopi Goldberg's conversation on Baby. This is Kekey Palmer, which
Speaker 1: is Kekey Palmer's podcast, and I think that's where my
Speaker 1: thoughts derived from today and as I woke up this
Speaker 1: morning to get ready for work.
Speaker 3: So let's get on over into the latest Kekey Palmer.
Speaker 1: I mean legendary run and I won't even say it's
Speaker 1: a run because we've always known key Key Palmer as
Speaker 1: the girl with the jobs, like key Key stay booked Palmer, period, right,
Speaker 1: But yes, so Kekey Palmer. She fresh off of an
Speaker 1: announcement that she's going to be hosting The View.
Speaker 3: The View.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, maybe that's coming for her. I'm going
Speaker 1: to be hosting The Voice. Carson Dally is taking a
Speaker 1: step back as host for the first time in like
Speaker 1: thirty one seasons, but he will be working as a producer.
Speaker 1: So Kekey Palmer is coming in and that's announced, But
Speaker 1: at the same time, her conversation whoop be Goldberg goes
Speaker 1: live on her YouTube channel, and I saw a promo
Speaker 1: for this about like me it be like two days prior,
Speaker 1: and I was so excited, Like I just know, like
Speaker 1: from watching other interviews that what we Goldberg has done,
Speaker 1: and she's very selective about who she sits down and
Speaker 1: talks to. Watching her own the view, I got the meeter.
Speaker 1: But I couldn't really tell this from meeting her because
Speaker 1: I didn't really have an extensive conversation with her, like personally,
Speaker 1: but it just seems like she's very like it is
Speaker 1: what it is, like she's going to tell you how
Speaker 1: she feels. She lays everything on the line. If she
Speaker 1: don't want to tell you how she feels, or she
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about something, she's not going to
Speaker 1: But it seems like a very vulnerable and genuine conversation.
Speaker 1: But also it seems like she just don't take no shit.
Speaker 1: And I love people like that, especially in this business
Speaker 1: like we talk about like corporates and working for companies
Speaker 1: and entertainment, like things are so different because the structures
Speaker 1: that are normally put in the place in regular workplaces,
Speaker 1: their structure and entertainment, but it's just very different, Like
Speaker 1: you have to navigate, you have to work as an
Speaker 1: entrepreneur even within a corporate setting, which can go very
Speaker 1: well at times because you're so motivated you hit the
Speaker 1: ground running. You know, you have to have long endurance
Speaker 1: and stuff and entertainment. But it can also be a
Speaker 1: negative thing because it's like a lot of times you are.
Speaker 3: Overworked, underpaid.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that you can go down
Speaker 1: the list that just don't work well when you are
Speaker 1: being treated as if you're entrepreneurial, like when you're being
Speaker 1: treated as if you're supposed to have an entrepreneurial spirit
Speaker 1: spirit within something that's supposed to be taking care of you. Right,
Speaker 1: But Woopy Goldberg has built up such a successful name
Speaker 1: and legacy for herself, So hearing her be honest about
Speaker 1: how this has impacted her as well, just the attitude
Speaker 1: that she has and you know, knowing knowing her worth
Speaker 1: and all of that, it was great to hear. Let's
Speaker 1: get into the interview though, So coming off of that note,
Speaker 1: let's let's get into there was a part of the
Speaker 1: interview where Woopy Goldberg is talking about all of the
Speaker 1: successes that we've seen, like legendary movies, color purple, all
Speaker 1: the things. Because because of the diversity in roles that
Speaker 1: she's been able to pick, people always give her her
Speaker 1: flowers for that, like, oh, you know would be got
Speaker 1: Range and she's like, yeah, I mean the talent is there.
Speaker 1: But to be honest, I took what I could take
Speaker 1: because I needed work and they wouldn't hire me because
Speaker 1: I was black. Let's take a list of myself.
Speaker 4: What happened with sister act? Which one you're getting into?
Speaker 2: The role they wrote that for Bett Midler that wasn't mine?
Speaker 2: How did you get on there? Take that Lady movie?
Speaker 2: I didn't take it. I was looking for I was
Speaker 2: looking for work, and everybody.
Speaker 4: Always has I was looking for it, but it's true because.
Speaker 2: Apparently I'm black.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I guess I didn't realize it, Okay, So
Speaker 5: every time I went looking for something, they were like,
Speaker 5: oh no, no, no, this isn't free.
Speaker 2: So i'd started, and I started.
Speaker 5: I said to my agents, give me all the stuff
Speaker 5: that people have turned down. So I got Burglar that
Speaker 5: way because that was Bruce Willis's movie Jumping Jack Flash
Speaker 5: was Shelley Long's movie.
Speaker 2: There's several a whole bunch of movies.
Speaker 4: I got, Hey, y'all call it what's Jennifer Lawrence din Walk?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, send it to me, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: Because I felt like people really wanted to make those movies,
Speaker 5: and then the person they wanted said, no, let me
Speaker 5: see what I could do. That's why I loved when
Speaker 5: you said, you know, you did this and this and this,
Speaker 5: and it was always different people. I was always the
Speaker 5: character that was written. And I think because people thirty
Speaker 5: years ago, forty years ago had a limited idea of
Speaker 5: what could be done, yes, and had a limited idea
Speaker 5: of what I could do, because clearly they hadn't seen
Speaker 5: my show, so they didn't know.
Speaker 2: So I did him.
Speaker 5: And you know, listen, they didn't always work at the
Speaker 5: box office, but when they got on television, people lost
Speaker 5: their minds because people didn't always have money to go see.
Speaker 2: The movie, yeah, but they could see it on TV.
Speaker 2: And that's how we got all. A lot of my
Speaker 2: movies have.
Speaker 5: Become these kind of classics because people went, oh, that's
Speaker 5: what that was about mine.
Speaker 1: So when I saw that, I went and looked up, like,
Speaker 1: what are woop By Goldberg's top fifteen movies? Because one
Speaker 1: of our our producer is Brandon, He's been here on
Speaker 1: the podcast.
Speaker 3: Made a point to me, not a point, but he
Speaker 3: had a thought.
Speaker 1: So his thought was, woo By Goldberg has been in
Speaker 1: a lot of huge iconic films. She is massively successful,
Speaker 1: huge celebrity name. But like, what is one character of
Speaker 1: hers that you can think about that sit out to
Speaker 1: you beyond anything. I instantly thought color purple. It would
Speaker 1: have to be color Purple, or it would have to
Speaker 1: be sister act like, it would have to be one
Speaker 1: of those two. But and when I said that, he
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I mean, I guess you're right. But
Speaker 1: he was like, even those characters, like for as big
Speaker 1: as she is, you would think that it would be
Speaker 1: way more than those, or that the characters would be
Speaker 1: like bigger or like more people would like talk about
Speaker 1: them often. I'm like, but Color Purple was huge though,
Speaker 1: like Sealy, the Color Purple was a really big movie.
Speaker 1: But it made me look up like where her top
Speaker 1: movies were. So I have a list of what gold
Speaker 1: Derby says. Player first at number fifteen, I'm sorry, Last
Speaker 1: at number fifteen, number fourteen for Color Girls in twenty ten.
Speaker 1: It's crazy because I know for Color Girls it was
Speaker 1: a big movie. I know what b Goldberg was in it,
Speaker 1: but I don't think instantly for Color Girls when I
Speaker 1: think will be Goldberg, And I think that's what the
Speaker 1: producer that I worked with was talking about, like there's
Speaker 1: a lot of big movies and she's amaze in them,
Speaker 1: but you don't even think about those characters, like you
Speaker 1: can't even name who she played. And for Colored Girls,
Speaker 1: Whoopi Goldberg played Alice Adros, the Lady in White in
Speaker 1: the twenty ten film adaption of Four Colored Girls. So
Speaker 1: she was the strict religious mother who constantly argued with
Speaker 1: her promiscuous Barton, the daughter played by Tangi, who was
Speaker 1: one of the main characters. Now you also have Koreina Karina.
Speaker 1: I've never seen at thirteen. I've never seen that number twelve.
Speaker 1: Haw Stella got her groove back. See, you don't even remember, like,
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm saying. Any if you watch the
Speaker 1: movie now, you'd be like, oh, yeah, like we couldn't
Speaker 1: have made this movie without Whoopee.
Speaker 3: But for Halstella got her groove back.
Speaker 1: The Lion King. At number eleven, she played one of
Speaker 1: the hyenas. I feel like most people wouldn't just think
Speaker 1: about that role either. Number ten, Ghost of Mississippi. I
Speaker 1: didn't see that movie. Number nine she was in Soap
Speaker 1: Dish back in ninety one. Number eight Clara's Heart in
Speaker 1: eighty eight, she Oh, She's been doing this for a
Speaker 1: long time. Number seven, Jumping Jack Flash in eighty six.
Speaker 1: Number six, The Long Work, Long Walk Home. Number five,
Speaker 1: Girl Interrupted. Number four they listened number Sister Act this
Speaker 1: number four. I can see Sister Act. That was from
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two. I think I was one year old
Speaker 1: when Sister I came out. I could literally see Sister
Speaker 1: Act word for word. Like that movie made me want
Speaker 1: to be like that was one of the things that
Speaker 1: made me want to be on on camera.
Speaker 3: Sister Act.
Speaker 1: Moesha in Living Note, Living Color. I feel like I
Speaker 1: wasn't big on in Living Color. I will watch some
Speaker 1: of the sketches, but I wasn't big on Living Color,
Speaker 1: Living Single, Different World Cosby Show for sure. Like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I wanted their family so bad, and I
Speaker 1: wanted to be on that show so bad. Number three
Speaker 1: Boys on the Side. Number two Ghosts and watch My
Speaker 1: Mom's Gonna Be Color Park. Yeah, Color Purple, Color Purple
Speaker 1: is that is the movie for Woopi Goldberg. She was
Speaker 1: the leading color Purple after her one woman show Broadway
Speaker 1: became a surprise hit. Steven Spielberg took a huge chance
Speaker 1: casting the unknown actress at the center of this film,
Speaker 1: but the gamble paid off. Possible controversy over her having
Speaker 1: a white director tell the story calls OSCAR voters to
Speaker 1: avoid the film and the final balloting. Despite ele eleven
Speaker 1: OSCAR nomber nations overall, Steven Spielberg was not nominated for
Speaker 1: Best Director. The various CONTROVERSI She's made the Academy go
Speaker 1: for a safer choice Best Actress too, and they awarded
Speaker 1: Jerdine Page for the trip to Bontefield since she had
Speaker 1: suffered seven prior losses. I think one of the biggest
Speaker 1: things though, that I took away from this conversation was
Speaker 1: just that people might not get it all the time,
Speaker 1: especially not right away, and some of the greatest like
Speaker 1: s I didn't really know much about it out Whoopy
Speaker 1: Goldberg's coming into her you know, like success story Kiki Palmer,
Speaker 1: I think is a bit different because, like I was
Speaker 1: young growing up on watching you know, watching Kiky Palmer,
Speaker 1: like was like She's like we're around the same age,
Speaker 1: so like that was like natural. Like I remember when
Speaker 1: a Killer Bee Killing in the Bee. You could watch
Speaker 1: it on TV or you could get it on tape,
Speaker 1: and like, you know, I didn't know that it wasn't
Speaker 1: a box office success. I had no idea about that,
Speaker 1: but I was young. But I just remember the excitement.
Speaker 1: I remember hearing, you know, all of my friends talking
Speaker 1: about it. Like I remember when that movie when she
Speaker 1: started to become like an actress that like people were
Speaker 1: recognizing Whoopee.
Speaker 3: Is you know, a lot older than me, So I
Speaker 3: don't remember that.
Speaker 1: But taking away from this conversation is just you really
Speaker 1: got to stay stead fast and even when you're not
Speaker 1: for sure what you're doing, you have to still keep
Speaker 1: doing it again because putting your reps in is what.
Speaker 3: Like you never know when you throw something at the.
Speaker 1: Wall was gonna stick, like Whoopy did not know when
Speaker 1: she did some of those movies that eventually and Kekey
Speaker 1: Pomer either when she talked about Killing Me that when
Speaker 1: it flopped originally in the box office, they would later
Speaker 1: go on to become like iconic staple pieces of cinema
Speaker 1: attached to their careers. And I think in the moment too,
Speaker 1: like I always think so much about like what's happening
Speaker 1: right now, what I'm not doing right now, what I'm
Speaker 1: not doing well right now. I never think about, like
Speaker 1: how things will grow, mature and manifest into other things,
Speaker 1: into learning lessons, into some of the greatest moments of
Speaker 1: my life, into some of the greatest learned lessons of
Speaker 1: my life. So it was good to hear, you know
Speaker 1: what b Goldberg talk a lot about that. They'll talk
Speaker 1: about everything. Though they got into sex, they got into career,
Speaker 1: I mean more into career. Uh, they got into what
Speaker 1: Bigoldberg being a fashion icon? Did y'all know people look
Speaker 1: at what Big Goldberg as a fashion icon? Now here's
Speaker 1: the thing. When Keky Pomer said fashion icon, I was like,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't phrase it that way. I understood what Kiki
Speaker 1: Pomer was trying to say, but I wouldn' phrase it
Speaker 1: that way. I would call Oprah of fashion Oprah. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't call whoopee go Burg a fashion icon. Let's take
Speaker 1: a listen to Kiki Palmer talk about woop Bee in
Speaker 1: the fashion sense.
Speaker 4: Also a fashion icon from your hair which makes me
Speaker 4: aware to your lipstick. I mean, everything about you can
Speaker 4: be emulated because it's so specific. But then it's you
Speaker 4: just kind of like, hey, you don't even really think
Speaker 4: about it, like what is your pov of fashion? And
Speaker 4: the fact that you are fashion icon to so many.
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's so lovely for people to say that.
Speaker 2: But it wasn't always that way.
Speaker 5: There used to be a lot of talk in the
Speaker 5: old days about how odd I dressed because I wore
Speaker 5: sneakers to the oscars. I didn't want to put my
Speaker 5: feet in those high heels. Some when I want to
Speaker 5: do it, I do it. When I don't want to
Speaker 5: do it, I make you know, I put combat boots
Speaker 5: on under gown. I don't care because I really don't
Speaker 5: want to be uncomfortable in what I'm wearing, which is
Speaker 5: why the whole broad and underwear thing is.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a choice, is a choice.
Speaker 1: Yet I would not think of Whoopy Goldberg as a
Speaker 1: fashion icon. Has Whoopy Goldberg made fashion moves that people
Speaker 1: like point to and have conversation about. Yes, and a
Speaker 1: lot of them have. I mean, now we know a
Speaker 1: lot of them are like she talks about it on
Speaker 1: the show Comfort, But it's kind of always been like
Speaker 1: she's had her own style, and I think, to be
Speaker 1: honest with you, from the eighties up until now, like
Speaker 1: like how we are in twenty twenty six and how
Speaker 1: we dressing. You know, there's not a lot of individualism today,
Speaker 1: and I think with whoop Be, it's not that she's
Speaker 1: ever set out to be a fashion icon.
Speaker 3: I think she's always just been very much.
Speaker 1: Individual But Woodbee has had, you know, some moments, like
Speaker 1: you know, there there are if y'all google Whoopie Goldberg
Speaker 1: fashion moments, there have been some moments like one of
Speaker 1: the pictures I was trying to find. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: see where this was from. She's at like an event
Speaker 1: of some sort and she's in a T shirt with
Speaker 1: this fire leather jacket, like a distress vintage leather jacket.
Speaker 1: Everything about her has always been so cool and so
Speaker 1: effortless and willing to try whatever and do whatever and
Speaker 1: be very very very different. I mean, like sneakers with dresses,
Speaker 1: sneakers with suits. Like people have just always been very
Speaker 1: confused about what be Goldberg's personal style. And I love
Speaker 1: that they had because I feel like it's very essential
Speaker 1: to who she is as a person. She don't care
Speaker 1: nothing about yall people. It's all about what she wants
Speaker 1: and what she needs in the moment and how she's
Speaker 1: feeling in the moment.
Speaker 3: And I love that.
Speaker 1: That's why I understand what Kiki Palmer is saying, even
Speaker 1: though I know I knew what people was gonna push
Speaker 1: back on that.
Speaker 3: Like fashion, I conquer, please, I just do what I do. Now,
Speaker 3: let's sh shift gears a bit.
Speaker 1: We talk about talk shows and conversations. Young Jack and
Speaker 1: Miss Shainikah over on the streets warning takeover. They continued
Speaker 1: the conversation today. Well, to be fair, they responded to
Speaker 1: Clarissa Shield, who is huge, you know female boxer. She's
Speaker 1: the guote, she's undefeated, does her thing. She has a
Speaker 1: fight coming up August fifteenth in Atlanta. But there's been
Speaker 1: a back and forth, you know, because of an interview
Speaker 1: that they did with her.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: In the interview, she was asked about pet Poos, who
Speaker 1: was a rabber from New York.
Speaker 3: Who was formerly dating Remy Ma. They were married, actually
Speaker 3: not dating.
Speaker 1: Sorry, they were married for some time, so a lot
Speaker 1: of time, and then it came out that Clarissa was
Speaker 1: dating him, which all of it caught all of us
Speaker 1: by surprise, if I'm being honest, because we only knew
Speaker 1: of pet Poofs and Clarissa. I'm sorry, we only knew
Speaker 1: of pet Poofs and Remy as like black love and
Speaker 1: working things out and you know whatever. There were rumblings
Speaker 1: of different things, but we just did not know. But anyway,
Speaker 1: Clarissa Shields was in Atlanta promoting her fight. She went
Speaker 1: on a radio show with Young Jack and Miss Shaanika
Speaker 1: the Street's wanting to take Over, and she was asked
Speaker 1: this question. We talked about this in a previous episode,
Speaker 1: but let's say it al.
Speaker 2: Real question because I didn't been here before.
Speaker 6: How much longer are you willing to be in a
Speaker 6: relationship with somebody's husbands?
Speaker 3: Because at the end of the day, that's.
Speaker 2: What people are looking at.
Speaker 7: Well pause, pause, because that's not somebody's husband. Pat Posts
Speaker 7: filed for divorce. Y'all hate to say that word, but
Speaker 7: it's the word that's out there. He filed for divorce
Speaker 7: because he's serious about me. I'm not with somebody's husband.
Speaker 7: And if you're gonna call him her husband, make sure
Speaker 7: you call her his wife, and also hold her accountable
Speaker 7: for what she's doing in her life because she hasn't
Speaker 7: who she's big about. So don't make it seem like
Speaker 7: it's just one sided. I'm not with somebody's husband.
Speaker 3: I'm with the man.
Speaker 7: Who filed for divorce, who's serious about me, who has
Speaker 7: done things for me that I've done for him.
Speaker 3: So that's not what it is.
Speaker 7: They say that because they want that to be the narrative,
Speaker 7: but that's not it. People go through divorces and break
Speaker 7: up more than anything in the world.
Speaker 3: That's why it's such a big talk.
Speaker 1: Now has done, you know, some press hits following that interview.
Speaker 1: One of them she did with an outlet out of
Speaker 1: Atlanta called The Inquirer. Shout out to Dennis Byron Fuktogh
Speaker 1: you know also has this show as well to don Atlanta.
Speaker 1: We covered the Diddy triw together, but she did an
Speaker 1: interview with them, and here's some of the things that
Speaker 1: she had to say about the moment where she asked
Speaker 1: Clarissa Shields that question and the fact that it went viral.
Speaker 3: Let's say listen for later.
Speaker 6: Yes, and at that point, once she started answering the question,
Speaker 6: I think me and Jock and Shawty kind of looked
Speaker 6: at one another and said, oh, no, this is a
Speaker 6: delusional situation. We're not going to go back and forth
Speaker 6: with her about something that her man has rehearsed to
Speaker 6: her over and over again. This nigga lit like, We're
Speaker 6: not gonna do that.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying now.
Speaker 1: Clarissa Shields was not happy about that whatsoever, and she
Speaker 1: responded saying this, I want.
Speaker 8: To tell you the real reason why Pap is with me,
Speaker 8: because I don't think you know. I'm gonna tell you.
Speaker 8: I'm a bad ass, beach flat out. My ass is real,
Speaker 8: my body's real. I look good at fucking face. I'm successful,
Speaker 8: I'm young, and the things that my little who Nama
Speaker 8: can do is amazing.
Speaker 1: Miss Shanka and Young Jack or rad Streets nine for five.
Speaker 3: I keep saying Streets nine for five because that's the
Speaker 3: station at day.
Speaker 1: I don't even if they're still on that station, but
Speaker 1: when I was in Atlanta trying to figure out if
Speaker 1: I wanted to be down there for work and career,
Speaker 1: I just remember that station number. But yeah, So they
Speaker 1: responded on their morning show kind of recapping everything because
Speaker 1: Clarissa's comments got picked up pretty widely, at least across
Speaker 1: like you know, black social media, on the black side
Speaker 1: of things. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 6: I asked that question from a place of care. I'm
Speaker 6: sitting here, We're interviewing a thirty one year role champion
Speaker 6: and her feel I'm feeling her energy. It's it's upbeat,
Speaker 6: but you know, I can I can tell that that
Speaker 6: there's more going on than meet the eye. And as
Speaker 6: I led in my question, I said, I've been here before,
Speaker 6: a lot of women have been there before, and so
Speaker 6: I'm putting these facts together and over time, you know,
Speaker 6: from people speaking on the way that she looks, or
Speaker 6: the way that she acts, or the way that she dresses.
Speaker 6: I'm looking at this young, successful lady, and I'm just like,
Speaker 6: I hate that for you. I hate that people are,
Speaker 6: you know, looking at you and your talent, but your
Speaker 6: your drama in what you who you chose to love,
Speaker 6: is overshadowing that. So yes, I wanted to know, sister.
Speaker 6: I wanted to know what I guess most people. I
Speaker 6: didn't know that she hadn't been askedat before, but it
Speaker 6: was in my spirit. It was nothing that I wrote
Speaker 6: down on paper.
Speaker 2: It was it.
Speaker 6: Literally, girl, how long are you willing to let this
Speaker 6: overshadow your career?
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 1: I think the question that Miss Shaanika was asking is
Speaker 1: what people wanted to know. And I sit in a
Speaker 1: very rare area on this because it's like I understand
Speaker 1: both sides of the coin, right, Like I understand being
Speaker 1: a person in the room who like really wants to
Speaker 1: know something, but also you know that's what people want
Speaker 1: to know. But if you're just a follower of culture
Speaker 1: pop culture, there are certain people that when they come
Speaker 1: in a room and you sit down to talk to them,
Speaker 1: you know everything that people have talked to them about,
Speaker 1: haven't talked to them about, but you know the answers
Speaker 1: that you really want to get to. And I don't
Speaker 1: mean because you're trying to go vow or anything like that,
Speaker 1: but it's just like I really, as a person that
Speaker 1: is inquisitive, want to know, and I think that that's
Speaker 1: what this was. I think Miss Schaaniga really had that
Speaker 1: question and really wanted to know, because that's a lot
Speaker 1: of you know, the conversation that surrounds Clarissa Shields and
Speaker 1: Patpoose's current relationship. Now on the other side of it,
Speaker 1: first of all, I wouldn't even say I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: asked a question that way. I would I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: been able to If I had asked a question that way,
Speaker 1: I would have.
Speaker 3: Been dragged to the high heavens.
Speaker 1: I can't even get it out. People would have been
Speaker 1: calling me all types of messy or whatever. I've had
Speaker 1: to learn how to be able to get to a
Speaker 1: question like that without saying it anywhere near like that period,
Speaker 1: Like when Clarissa Shields was here on the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: We talked to her about, you know, the relationship, and
Speaker 1: it's four of us in the room, and I remember specifically,
Speaker 1: remember sometimes I'll hit envy during the interviews and be like, yo,
Speaker 1: this question. We really need to make sure we don't
Speaker 1: miss can you help me? Like because sometimes in conversation,
Speaker 1: if it's for people or say she might go to
Speaker 1: something super positive and mental health or whatever, you don't
Speaker 1: want to be the person bringing back in.
Speaker 3: So when are divorce gonna be find on us? Because
Speaker 3: then it's like dang.
Speaker 1: And I remember when I first you know, came over
Speaker 1: to the Breakfast Club and started the podcast here with
Speaker 1: the latest would learn the road. So one of the
Speaker 1: critiques that I would always get notes from the guys
Speaker 1: would be you know, your your situational awareness, like you
Speaker 1: are very like like boom, just say it and it
Speaker 1: works sometimes, but like you got to ease your way
Speaker 1: into it, and you know, think about the fact that
Speaker 1: this is a person you're talking to. How would you
Speaker 1: want to be asked that question? So I understood both
Speaker 1: sides of it, especially when social media gets involved, like
Speaker 1: they said, like I don't think that you know, people
Speaker 1: talk about it enough, but social media and the people
Speaker 1: picking up the phone and calling you from from Look,
Speaker 1: you got your friends and family who all see this
Speaker 1: is viral now, like that can do something to you.
Speaker 1: I've had to learn to sell on social media when
Speaker 1: things go down. I've also had to learn to not
Speaker 1: answer the phone when things go down, not to bring up,
Speaker 1: you know, bad times, but with me and Jess are
Speaker 1: going through all that stuff publicly, Like when things would
Speaker 1: go viral from the show, I literally would not answer
Speaker 1: my phone for like friends or family that day, like
Speaker 1: literally because I knew in my mind, I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, it ain't always gonna be here. One day,
Speaker 1: we'll get to the bottom of like what the you
Speaker 1: know what the the energy is that I was receiving
Speaker 1: and that you know, I was you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like I felt the energy, but like I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to the bottom of this, and when
Speaker 1: we do, I don't want what other people think, feel,
Speaker 1: or you know, their instant need to try and protect
Speaker 1: me to come into it. So I would literally not
Speaker 1: answer the phone or like, you know, I wouldn't entertain
Speaker 1: certain conversations because I wanted to have my own mind
Speaker 1: and my own opinion about it. Because I was the
Speaker 1: one in the situation who was also watching, you know,
Speaker 1: just coming here every morning, super super you know, postpartum
Speaker 1: and figuring out her place, and like I would see
Speaker 1: that side of it, but then I would also get
Speaker 1: the other it too. So I was trying to find
Speaker 1: like a very good middle space of like, all right,
Speaker 1: we can't keep doing this, but at the same.
Speaker 3: Time, I feel you and I feel for you.
Speaker 1: So I blocked a lot of stuff out during that
Speaker 1: time and a lot of people out during that time,
Speaker 1: and not out of malice. I know that they loved
Speaker 1: me and just didn't like what they were seeing or
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, but like you have to
Speaker 1: and I think one social media gets a hold of
Speaker 1: certain things, and people in the outside world outside of
Speaker 1: that situation you're in get a hold of it. It
Speaker 1: is really tough to fight back against not feeling like
Speaker 1: you have to strike back because now they're all watching,
Speaker 1: Now they all talking, now they're all listening. I think
Speaker 1: there were parts of the interview though, that Miss Shinika
Speaker 1: did with Dennis Byron that I was like, okay, now,
Speaker 1: you know, and like not even just Cloris to Shields.
Speaker 1: But if anybody had watched this interview after y'all had
Speaker 1: a conversation a person, they would feel away. They would
Speaker 1: feel like, okay, like we could have had that conversation
Speaker 1: in person, though, So I get it, y'all.
Speaker 3: Let me know what y'all think.
Speaker 1: You know, I know, I saw a lot of the
Speaker 1: journalists girlies having like decorum conversations, and I don't even
Speaker 1: subscribe to any of that stuff either.
Speaker 3: Because y'all, y'all be go.
Speaker 1: You ask the tough questions one day to oh my god,
Speaker 1: you so messy. You always sit down to people the
Speaker 1: next like I can't with the people. It's been another
Speaker 1: episode of the Latest with Laura Rosa. I am your host,
Speaker 1: Miss Laura the Rosa and I tell you, guys, I've
Speaker 1: never called myself miss On here. I don't know why
Speaker 1: I just did that. I tell you guys, every single episode,
