0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:02.480
<v Speaker 1>It really feels like it came out of nowhere, and

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>then also the dismissal kind of feels like it came

0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>out of nowhere, Like we came in real hot and fiery,

0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:09.320
<v Speaker 1>and then it just kind of quietly washed away.

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Stay tuned. We'll get into my conversation with Evan Real

0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 2>right after these quick ads. Welcome to Reality with the King.

<v Speaker 2>It's me Carlos King, the King of Reality TV and

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:33.040
<v Speaker 2>one of the most sought after executive producers in reality

<v Speaker 2>my friends across the entertainment industry, recap our favorite reality shows,

<v Speaker 2>and revisit unforgettable moments that we are still talking and

0:00:52.120 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 2>tweeting about. Hey, rain Drops. Today's guests on Reality with

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:04.759
<v Speaker 2>the King is my friend and journalist Evan Real from

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 2>The New York Post. Today we're talking about Nini Leaks,

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 2>who recently dismissed her lawsuit. Now, I know you guys

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 2>haven't asked me tons of questions about this particular situation,

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 2>and because I'm too close to it in terms of

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 2>knowing everybody involved, I never felt it was comfortable or

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:30.399
<v Speaker 2>write for me to talk about it. You know, there's

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.400
<v Speaker 2>some things that I think are off limits, and when

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 2>something like this happens, I think it's best for things

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 2>to play out on its own. I never wanted to

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>make light of this situation or do it for you know,

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 2>the podcast, just to have a conversation. I never wanted

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 2>to do that. So the reason why I've been quiet

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 2>about it in the sense of just not sharing my

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 2>opinion is because I felt, out of respect to all

0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 2>parties involved, it was better us to see how things

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 2>played out first. And now that we see that the

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 2>lawsuit that she filed against the network and people has prejudice.

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Now what does this mean for the future of Meini Leaks. Well, today,

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 2>ME and Evan Real are going to get into that conversation.

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.959
<v Speaker 2>We all are fans of Nini Leaks and want her

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>back on television. We recently saw her star on the

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:35.840
<v Speaker 2>College Here Reboot Celebrity Edition on BET and if you

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:40.360
<v Speaker 2>watched it, it reminded you of how Nini is just

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:44.640
<v Speaker 2>great television and how funny she is and how great

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 2>she is. So this conversation today, yes, we're going to

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 2>shed light on how this lawsuit became dismissed. But we're

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 2>also going to talk about the state of Nini Leaks

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:01.519
<v Speaker 2>as a force multiplier in reality te television, and now

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 2>that this situation has seemed to come to an end,

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 2>where does that take Memi Leaks? So, without further ado,

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 2>here's my conversation with Eban Real. We got to talk

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 2>about my girl, who I called the greatest housewife of

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 2>all time number one, Meani Leaks, and the lawsuit that

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>was dropped recently, which to me, I'm like, okay, is

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 2>this a good sign for things to come? But I

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 2>cannot do this episode alone. So I decided to bring

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 2>on my friend who also has been covering this story

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:44.080
<v Speaker 2>as a reporter, a journalist, and a correspondent for The

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 2>New York Post. I'm talking about every reality star's favorite journalist,

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Evan Rel.

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, Carlos King, the king of reality TV.

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.360
<v Speaker 3>Thank you for that glowing introduction.

0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>It is an absolute honor to be here today and

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 1>talked about your favorite housewife of all time, Needy Leaks.

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 2>I know I can't wait to get into this. So

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 2>one thing about me. When this lawsuit first came about,

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:16.600
<v Speaker 2>I respectfully never talked about it because it's such a

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 2>sensitive topic that I didn't want me, somebody who knows

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 2>all parties involved, to make lights of this serious issue.

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, any lawsuit, child is serious. I don't care

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 2>what's in it. If you've got time to go down

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 2>to the court, child to not get married like Jalo

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.159
<v Speaker 2>and Ben the Justice of the piece, but you're going

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.480
<v Speaker 2>down to to file something, honey. I take it seriously,

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 2>and I never wanted to mimic it or sound like

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.159
<v Speaker 2>I was making fun of it. So that's why, guys,

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 2>my listeners, I have never talked about it. But now

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 2>that it's been dropped, in the words of Lisa Rena,

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:03.720
<v Speaker 2>you best believe in talk about it. So Evan, this

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:07.599
<v Speaker 2>is what we know, Okay. So at the end of

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 2>the day, what we know is the lawsuit was originally

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>filed in April of twenty twenty two in an Atlanta

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>federal court, where Nini Leased claimed she worked in a

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 2>hostile and racist environment. She sued NBC, Universal, Bravo Production Companies,

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 2>True Entertainment and Truly Original, and Andy Cohen, who was

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 2>all named in the suit. So before we get into

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.880
<v Speaker 2>the fact that this lawsuit was dropped, talk to me

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 2>about what you learned the moment it was filed back

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:43.480
<v Speaker 2>in April.

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 1>Well, I was just so shocked to learn that Nini

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 1>felt this way about the production companies, about Bravo, about

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Andy Cohen, because you know, she is one of the

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 1>greatest housewives of all time.

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 3>She truly put Atlanta on the map.

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I would say that she kind of put housewives on

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the map in a way like to me, Nini Lakes,

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.680
<v Speaker 1>this is just my personal opinion, taking off my journalist hat.

0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 1>She is more iconic than Bethany Frankel. She is more

0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>iconic than Lisa vander Pump. She is to me, like

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>like you, she is the most iconic housewife of all times.

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 1>So I was just shocked that there was something going

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 1>on with her and the production company and Andy and

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Bravo that was not so great. So that's first and

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 1>foremost what I learned. And then I also learned that

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:31.159
<v Speaker 1>Bravo and Andy they were absolutely blindsided by this because

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.560
<v Speaker 1>even though you know, Nini had she'd been implying things

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.479
<v Speaker 1>on social media for a while that she wasn't happy

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>with the network, she wasn't happy with Andy Cohen. But

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I know that she and Andy were so close at

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 1>one point, So Andy and Bravo. They were absolutely blindsided

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 1>by this. So I think that it's really interesting that

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.360
<v Speaker 1>it has been dropped. I mean, she was really like

0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 1>standing in her conviction that she was like mistreated during

0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 1>the Real Housewives of Atlanta and Carlos. It took everything

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>inside of me not to give you a call about

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 1>this because you.

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.360
<v Speaker 3>Could have been an incredible source. You probably know way

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.159
<v Speaker 3>more than I do. So yeah, it was.

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 1>It was just a wild ride covering this whole situation

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>tops to bottom. And so now I'm glad that you're

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 1>finally talking about it because I feel like you probably

0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 1>have the most meaningful perspective that anyone could, being a

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.600
<v Speaker 1>friend of Nini, working on the show, working with the

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>production companies, knowing Andy quite well.

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Now, Evan, this one was so interesting about this? I

0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 2>a in real life in friends with Niini. Like Nani

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:38.720
<v Speaker 2>and I have a great relationship. Yes, she and I

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 2>have had ups and downs and we have falling out.

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm still blocked on Twitter, Nini. I mean, can you

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 2>please unblock me? Girl? I've been blocked Nani since season seven.

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Damn that long. Please unblock me, Nini? Yeah, what happened?

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 2>What happened?

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 3>Season seven?

0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Ah, well, let's okay, let's I'll ask it that out

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 2>and then we'll get back into the topic at hand.

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 2>So I think people need to be reminded that Nini

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Leets and I started out Real Housewives of Atlanta together,

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 2>she as a reality star and me as my first

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 2>time producing reality television. So we were both newbies the

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 2>first day of filming season one of the show, and

0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.440
<v Speaker 2>I was assigning leagues and the rest is history. Like

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 2>we just became bosom buddies. People would call us Will

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:33.160
<v Speaker 2>and Grace. That's how close Nini and I were. Social

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 2>media started to happen around season four, but during season seven,

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Claudia Jordan comes on the show. And the reason why

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 2>I brought up social media is because that's when you

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:53.640
<v Speaker 2>started to see the stand culture that is housewives. I mean, now, honey,

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:58.640
<v Speaker 2>that stand culture for housewives is severe up in here.

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:04.360
<v Speaker 2>So mind you, seven years ago, it was just starting

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 2>to percolate where people would make these ridiculous accusations and

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:13.080
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people said that I because of course

0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 2>they think I have all the power. A lot of

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:18.719
<v Speaker 2>people thought that I hire Claudia to single handily come

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:23.360
<v Speaker 2>for Nini, and long story short, Nini would say things

0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 2>and interviews about Claudia and I did an interview on

0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 2>The Ricky Smiley Show where I said, like, Claudia is

0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 2>a great housewife. She and Nini got this epic showdown.

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 2>They read each other like Claudia is great and Nini

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:43.720
<v Speaker 2>leaks was on the radio and somebody asked her about

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.920
<v Speaker 2>it and she made a shady comment towards me, But

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 2>that's Nini, so I took it as fun shade. But

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 2>apparently she blocked me and we didn't speak for a

0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.480
<v Speaker 2>few months. But that's who me and Nini are. Like

0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 2>when Nini is mad, she'll block you, but then she unblock. Unfortunately,

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 2>I've been blocked for seven years. But we're good.

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Okay, do you know what people?

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I feel like Twitter doesn't even matter, Like if she

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 1>blocked you on Instagram, that matters, you know.

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh see that's okay. We still follow each other on Instagram,

0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 2>so that's a good thing. So, unlike what other people say,

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:24.319
<v Speaker 2>me and Nini do have a relationship. Ha. So look.

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 2>One of the things that was interesting when all of

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:33.680
<v Speaker 2>this came about is I was surprised too when news

0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.559
<v Speaker 2>came about this lawsuit, did not see it coming, Yes,

0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:38.840
<v Speaker 2>ev when you're right in the sense of you know,

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 2>there was a little stuff percolating here and there, but

0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think it would go that far when it

0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 2>did happen. And this is me telling you guys the truth.

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 2>I did not reach out to Nini in the sense

0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 2>to talk to her about that specifically, because I respectfully

0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 2>wanted her and the rest of the people who I

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 2>know to deal with that. I didn't want any involvement

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 2>in it. I wasn't named in it. Child, And in

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:11.960
<v Speaker 2>the words of my old school grandmama and Proverbs three sixteen,

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 2>my name is Bennett and I'm not in it. I

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 2>didn't want no parts of it. But I did reach

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.560
<v Speaker 2>out to Needy and say to her, you know, I

0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:22.840
<v Speaker 2>love you. I'm always here for you if you need anything.

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:27.560
<v Speaker 2>And that was the extent of the conversation when it

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 2>was filed.

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Right, Okay, okay, So your respect in Nini's space and boundaries.

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.360
<v Speaker 1>But what did you think of Kim being named in

0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 1>the lawsuit? I mean, you were in the trenches with

0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.960
<v Speaker 1>these women, you know how Kim and Neini are together.

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Did you ever feel like there was any validity to

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.559
<v Speaker 1>the things that Nini was claiming about Kim. I know

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Kim came on The Nightcap and she said that Nini

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.199
<v Speaker 1>knows what she said, isn't sure and that it's ridiculous.

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:55.280
<v Speaker 3>What's your take on it?

0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was the thing. So again I didn't read

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 2>the entire document because I wanted to make sure I

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.720
<v Speaker 2>stay farm away from it. But from my understanding, and Evan,

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 2>you tell me if this was included, but I believe

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 2>what was included was Kim allegedly using the N word.

0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 2>And all I can say to you guys is I

0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 2>never heard Kim say that, and if I did, I

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 2>would have never invited Kim on my late night show,

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 2>The Nightcap. And if the other women, meaning Deshauncenow, Lisa

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:31.079
<v Speaker 2>Wu and Scharrey Whitfield, would have heard that, I don't

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 2>think they too would be around Kim. So based on

0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.840
<v Speaker 2>my relationship with Kim, I never heard it. And that's

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 2>the reason why I wanted to make sure that Kim

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.559
<v Speaker 2>had the opportunity to say what she wanted to say.

0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 2>And what she did say was when she's finished with

0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.160
<v Speaker 2>them is when I will start with her something along

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:55.560
<v Speaker 2>those lines. So the jury no pun intended it's still

0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 2>out as it relates to what Kim Zosiak is going

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:07.720
<v Speaker 2>to do. But knowing that the lawsuit has been dismissed, right,

0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.800
<v Speaker 2>what have you been hearing Eva in terms of the

0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 2>reasons behind this dismissal.

0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:18.200
<v Speaker 1>So the reasons remain are pretty unclear. No one seems

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 1>to have a grasp why it was dismissed. But it

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 1>was dismissed without prejudice, which means that she can reopen

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 1>it at a later date if she chooses to do so.

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.720
<v Speaker 1>The parties involved in the case also agreed to not

0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:36.520
<v Speaker 1>seek recovery of costs or attorney fees, so it kind

0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>of seems like both like all parties are just walking

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>away from this situation unscathed. It doesn't seem like Nini

0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:48.800
<v Speaker 1>received any sort of settlement outside of court. It just

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.559
<v Speaker 1>kind of feels like they all decided to table this conversation.

0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 1>I definitely don't think that the production companies in Brava

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.080
<v Speaker 1>want to revisit this conversation, but the way it was

0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:03.480
<v Speaker 1>dismissed leaves the opportunity for Nini to revisit this in the.

0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 3>Future, which I hope she doesn't.

0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I just hope we were all able to have some

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:13.640
<v Speaker 1>sort of like secret peace meeting where everything was hashed

0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>out and everyone's relationship is good right now, because I

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>want Nini to have the opportunity and ability to return

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:26.120
<v Speaker 1>to the franchise in the future. I am hoping that

0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 1>this was dismissed because there was an agreement made, there

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 1>was a reconciliation, and now Nini is back in the

0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 1>good graces of Bravo and Andy Cohen. And I also

0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 1>hope that you know, whatever Nini was feeling, because I

0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 1>obviously she went through some sort of trouble and she

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.880
<v Speaker 1>is upset over something. I hope that those concerns were

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 1>addressed and that they validated whatever issues she did experience

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.120
<v Speaker 1>on the Real Housewives of Atlanta and throughout her time

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 1>on Bravo.

0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, that's the thing. A lot of people have

0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 2>made the assumption that was their settlement, and from what

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 2>you said and from what I read, I mean, listen,

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a lawyer. I work with one by the

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 2>name of Phaedra Parks, so I'll try to figure out,

0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:17.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, exactly what the legal language is the situation.

0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:26.000
<v Speaker 2>But according to the dismissal, apparently it means that because

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 2>she has the right to fall again. Then it goes

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.960
<v Speaker 2>to show you that more than likely a settlement would

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 2>not have been reached, because if you're going to reach

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:41.240
<v Speaker 2>a settlement, then more than likely, from the legal terms

0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.640
<v Speaker 2>and the legal ease that I have learned, they would

0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:48.480
<v Speaker 2>have never paid Nini off and allow her to fill again.

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.000
<v Speaker 2>And that's the reason why I agree with you in

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:56.400
<v Speaker 2>the sense of Look, the question still remains if we

0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:04.120
<v Speaker 2>believe that Nini Leaks can ever return to Bravo. That

0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 2>remains the question now that this lawsuit has been dropped

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:13.760
<v Speaker 2>and or dismissed. So my question to you, Evan, as

0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:19.480
<v Speaker 2>a Housewives connoisseur, as a lover of all things housewives,

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:25.480
<v Speaker 2>and a journalist, do you think Niemi Lee's future on

0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Bravo is forever? Did?

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I would like to think that the way that this

0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:36.160
<v Speaker 1>case or this lawsuit has been dismissed leaves hope for

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.920
<v Speaker 1>her future on Bravo. But I do think that she

0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.160
<v Speaker 1>has muddied the waters a little bit. So if she

0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 1>ever does return, we're gonna have to jump through this hurdle.

0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>She's gonna have to address this and all of her

0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.600
<v Speaker 1>interviews about coming back. There's gonna have to be some

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 1>sort of like communications pr strategy put in place. It

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 1>would be like a lot of work, I think on

0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:01.120
<v Speaker 1>both ends for her to read. I think that she

0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 1>needs to make peace with the feelings that she has

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.240
<v Speaker 1>about her initial run on Housewise, I think that Bravo

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.679
<v Speaker 1>has to take into consideration all the things that she

0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.440
<v Speaker 1>has said on Twitter, in court documents and figure out

0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 1>how do we make this make sense, like we are

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:19.240
<v Speaker 1>welcoming back Nini to the Bravo verse after she has

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.760
<v Speaker 1>very heartily trashed the network. I think it would be

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of work, but I think it could happen.

0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.439
<v Speaker 1>And I think that Nini is such a powerhouse and

0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:33.480
<v Speaker 1>has that incredible star power that is obviously a value,

0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:36.400
<v Speaker 1>and I think that Bravo would put in the work

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:38.440
<v Speaker 1>to have her come back.

0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I was a wishful thinking, I don't know.

0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:42.520
<v Speaker 2>This is my dream.

0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:43.400
<v Speaker 3>This is my dream.

0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.639
<v Speaker 1>My dream is that Nini does come back, and that

0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Bravo figures out how to tell the story of her

0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:52.800
<v Speaker 1>coming back and rejoining this group of women. Because as

0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 1>much as I'm loving Atlanta this season, and I have

0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.880
<v Speaker 1>loved all the seasons without Nini, I love it better

0:17:58.920 --> 0:17:59.880
<v Speaker 1>when she's part of it.

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:03.680
<v Speaker 2>No listen, I love Mimi, and again, Nini and I

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.240
<v Speaker 2>are still cool. I did invite Nini on my late

0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.119
<v Speaker 2>night show, The Nightcap, and just to talk about that

0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:12.600
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, and then I'll answer the question as

0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:14.720
<v Speaker 2>well in terms of what I think about her future

0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.800
<v Speaker 2>on Bravo. But when I reached out to Nini to

0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:22.359
<v Speaker 2>appear on The Nightcap, I never told any of those

0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:26.920
<v Speaker 2>original housewives that I was going to invite the other

0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 2>on the show. I wanted it to be a surprise

0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 2>to all of them because at the end of the day,

0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.280
<v Speaker 2>I am a producer, so of course I have to

0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:40.760
<v Speaker 2>produce this iconic moment of getting my ogs back together

0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.880
<v Speaker 2>that I work with season one of the Atlanta Housewives show.

0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:48.199
<v Speaker 2>So when I reached out to Nimi, she kindly declined

0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:52.199
<v Speaker 2>and said that based on what she's going through, she

0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:56.359
<v Speaker 2>wasn't at the right place to do interviews. And I

0:18:56.440 --> 0:19:01.520
<v Speaker 2>respected that because she followed the lawsuit in April and

0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:06.320
<v Speaker 2>we taped that episode of my late night show in May,

0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.240
<v Speaker 2>so it was still fresh and she didn't want to

0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:11.280
<v Speaker 2>deal with it, and I respected that. So that was

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:13.240
<v Speaker 2>the only reason why she did not show up. And

0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:15.800
<v Speaker 2>know she did not show up because she knew the

0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.520
<v Speaker 2>other women were going to be there. None of them

0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:21.239
<v Speaker 2>knew that the other was going to be there. I

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:23.919
<v Speaker 2>wanted it to be a surprise, so I wanted to

0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.399
<v Speaker 2>address that first because I just want people to know

0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:29.560
<v Speaker 2>that she and I are in a good place. Now,

0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 2>let's talk about her fate on the network. If you

0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:40.919
<v Speaker 2>look at historically, when an employee files a lawsuit against

0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:47.000
<v Speaker 2>a former employer, right and makes claims of a hostile environment.

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:52.040
<v Speaker 2>So let's say in this case, Sally Ann decided to

0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:57.440
<v Speaker 2>sue Walmart because she felt that Walmart was a hostile

0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:01.280
<v Speaker 2>work environment. Right. The question that I have, because I

0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.879
<v Speaker 2>want to be realistic and fair and honest, do you

0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:08.439
<v Speaker 2>think Walmart will hire Sally Ann, asked back after she

0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:10.960
<v Speaker 2>made these accusations.

0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Right, Well, now that you put it that way, Carlos, Okay, yes,

0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Walmart's not gonna take her back. Probably ninety nine percent

0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:21.560
<v Speaker 1>chance she's not coming back to Walmart. And so yeah,

0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.719
<v Speaker 1>maybe Nini won't come back to Bravo. But you know,

0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:27.119
<v Speaker 1>you make that comparison of Sally Ann and Walmart. But

0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:30.880
<v Speaker 1>you you've also you've worked on these shows for so long,

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:32.840
<v Speaker 1>you know how the network works, you know how the

0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:33.920
<v Speaker 1>production companies work.

0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 3>Like if you had to guess, like taking that.

0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Into consideration, what is the percentage that you think Nini

0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:42.200
<v Speaker 1>would come back?

0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:45.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is the other side to my question that

0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to answer too. If Sally Ann, by the way,

0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:54.679
<v Speaker 2>Sally Ann is forty six, she lives in Idaho, and

0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:59.440
<v Speaker 2>she binges Indian matchmaker. So that's who Sally Ann is. Okay,

0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:01.040
<v Speaker 2>I got to pay the picture for my audience.

0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:03.159
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So she's not a star like Nini.

0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:06.520
<v Speaker 2>No, she's Sally you know, she's at home.

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:08.320
<v Speaker 3>The difference, there's a difference.

0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:12.040
<v Speaker 2>There is a difference. Okay. So if Sally n is

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 2>making these accusations, why would Sally Ann want to go

0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:19.919
<v Speaker 2>back to the institution that she felt was a househole

0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:22.840
<v Speaker 2>work environment? So it kind of goes hand in hand.

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Would you want to hire back the employee that made

0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:29.480
<v Speaker 2>these accusations and that's the employee? Do you want to

0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:32.480
<v Speaker 2>go back to the job where you said it was toxic?

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:35.320
<v Speaker 2>So that's why I like to look at things from

0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:38.720
<v Speaker 2>a realistic standpoint and from the standpoint of something to

0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:43.040
<v Speaker 2>where my large audience of listeners are able to understand

0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:47.440
<v Speaker 2>and now that I said that, this is how I feel.

0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:55.320
<v Speaker 2>I adore Nini. I want Niini to win in every

0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:58.320
<v Speaker 2>single place in her life, and I mean that wholeheartedly.

0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I made her the number one greatest housewife of all time,

0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:07.159
<v Speaker 2>not because of our friendship, but because she deserved the crown,

0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:10.280
<v Speaker 2>and she, to me, is the best that's ever done it.

0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Now that this situation has been dismissed, I'm not sure

0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:20.919
<v Speaker 2>what the future holds for Nini on the network because

0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:24.800
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the day, I haven't spoken to

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:27.120
<v Speaker 2>her about what she wanted to get out of it.

0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:29.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, and it's not my place to ask her.

0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:35.720
<v Speaker 2>But as someone who is in this business and as

0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:40.760
<v Speaker 2>someone who knows our parties involved, I was very sad

0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.920
<v Speaker 2>that it got to that because one thing I've always

0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:48.760
<v Speaker 2>said is there was this amazing, loving relationship that Nini

0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:52.080
<v Speaker 2>and Andy had that I've seen with these eyeballs, like

0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:57.000
<v Speaker 2>he was enamored by her and vice versa. She would

0:22:57.000 --> 0:23:00.520
<v Speaker 2>call him her buttercup, and they just had like this

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:03.920
<v Speaker 2>great rapport and I would see that whenever Andy would

0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:07.600
<v Speaker 2>come to Atlanti to take reunions and during commercial breaks,

0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:10.040
<v Speaker 2>they had a good old key key so it was

0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:12.159
<v Speaker 2>sad to see that it got to that. And listen,

0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:15.320
<v Speaker 2>one thing that I said to Nini is, at the

0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:16.960
<v Speaker 2>end of the day, I don't know what it's like

0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:19.600
<v Speaker 2>to walk in your shoes, so I'm not here to

0:23:19.720 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 2>ever say what your experience is like in life in general.

0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:27.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm not you. But the only thing I can say

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:29.280
<v Speaker 2>to you is that I just want you to be

0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:32.560
<v Speaker 2>happy and I want you to win. And does that

0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:36.480
<v Speaker 2>mean that her being happy and going back to the

0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:41.199
<v Speaker 2>show makes her win? I'm not sure. I think, in

0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:45.200
<v Speaker 2>my opinion, the best thing for Nimi is to take

0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:48.680
<v Speaker 2>the next couple of weeks to really figure things out,

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:53.280
<v Speaker 2>because she is such a formidable talent that I think

0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:57.159
<v Speaker 2>the world has yet to see what she's capable of doing,

0:23:57.880 --> 0:24:02.560
<v Speaker 2>and I really want her to get back to being

0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:07.360
<v Speaker 2>this funny, whimsical personality that we fell in love with

0:24:07.960 --> 0:24:09.160
<v Speaker 2>back in two thousand and eight.

0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:12.080
<v Speaker 3>Yes to all of that, I agree.

0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:15.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's an interesting point that you bring up, Like,

0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 1>of course you don't need you to win, but is

0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:18.399
<v Speaker 1>it on Bravo?

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:18.879
<v Speaker 3>Like maybe not?

0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:22.479
<v Speaker 1>Like maybe the next chapter for her is bigger than Bravo,

0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:25.359
<v Speaker 1>Like maybe coming back to Bravo would feel like a

0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:27.040
<v Speaker 1>step back for her. The one thing that I find

0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:30.359
<v Speaker 1>interesting about this whole situation is that I remember, several

0:24:30.440 --> 0:24:33.600
<v Speaker 1>months before she filed the lawsuits, she went on I

0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:36.280
<v Speaker 1>believe it was the Real and she said that she

0:24:36.320 --> 0:24:39.040
<v Speaker 1>would like to come back to the Real Housewives of

0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta because she felt like she had some unfinished business

0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:45.359
<v Speaker 1>with the women. So that was also really interesting to

0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:48.680
<v Speaker 1>me that after she said that, she filed this lawsuit,

0:24:48.680 --> 0:24:53.320
<v Speaker 1>and it just makes me wonder what her strategy was

0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:54.000
<v Speaker 1>or is.

0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:57.320
<v Speaker 2>And what have you been hearing from your sources in

0:24:57.400 --> 0:25:03.280
<v Speaker 2>terms of the making of this whole situation, Like have

0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:06.199
<v Speaker 2>you heard that there was a strategy in place or

0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 2>that everybody feels like this came out of nowhere.

0:25:09.560 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Everyone feels like it came out of nowhere. No one

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:14.399
<v Speaker 1>can really pinpoint if she had a strategy. It's it

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:16.840
<v Speaker 1>just kind of like leaves the question open, like was

0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:20.120
<v Speaker 1>there a strategy? Like what were you hoping to get

0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:22.119
<v Speaker 1>out of this other than like the obvious that like,

0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:24.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, clearly she felt she was mistreated and she

0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:29.560
<v Speaker 1>wanted justice for that. It just was an interesting lawsuit

0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:32.840
<v Speaker 1>to file after, you know, the comments were made about

0:25:32.920 --> 0:25:36.919
<v Speaker 1>coming back to the franchise and possibly sitting down with

0:25:36.960 --> 0:25:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Andy Cohen to discuss that, you know, and that was

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:42.879
<v Speaker 1>after she had said a bunch of stuff on social

0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:46.480
<v Speaker 1>media already. So yeah, it just it really feels like

0:25:46.520 --> 0:25:48.160
<v Speaker 1>it came out of nowhere. And then also the dismissal

0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:49.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of feels like it came out of nowhere, Like

0:25:50.480 --> 0:25:52.119
<v Speaker 1>we came in real hot and fiery, and then it

0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:54.520
<v Speaker 1>just kind of quietly washed away.

0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:57.919
<v Speaker 2>I hate to interrupt, but stay tuned for more of

0:25:58.000 --> 0:26:03.560
<v Speaker 2>my conversation with Evan'll be right back after this quick break.

0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:11.720
<v Speaker 2>This is Reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King.

0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:15.399
<v Speaker 2>Let's get back into my chat with Evan Rail about

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Nini Leaks. So listen. My biggest thing is because I

0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:26.119
<v Speaker 2>know the fans have been asking me this Evan for

0:26:26.160 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 2>the longest time. Carlos, you brought Monique Samuels back on television.

0:26:34.480 --> 0:26:36.879
<v Speaker 1>I was about to ask, because you have the power

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:42.080
<v Speaker 1>and the resources, Carlos King, if anyone, yeah, okay, Carlos,

0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:44.360
<v Speaker 1>let's talk to you about this. Like, if anyone can

0:26:44.400 --> 0:26:48.119
<v Speaker 1>make a Nini Leak's return to reality TV happen, it's you.

0:26:48.320 --> 0:26:54.879
<v Speaker 3>So what's the plan? Have we texted Nini about that.

0:27:00.920 --> 0:27:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, Evan, I mean.

0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:11.000
<v Speaker 3>A journalist needs to know are we dropping some news?

0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:14.720
<v Speaker 2>So I know the biggest question is, Carlos King, you

0:27:14.800 --> 0:27:19.480
<v Speaker 2>have a production company, Nini leaks, is you know number

0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:21.800
<v Speaker 2>one on your lists of the greatest Housewives of all time?

0:27:22.680 --> 0:27:26.960
<v Speaker 2>You reached out to Monique Samuel's after her stint on

0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Potomac and you got her to be a part of

0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:34.560
<v Speaker 2>your Love and Marriage franchise, which is Love and Marriage DC.

0:27:35.600 --> 0:27:38.720
<v Speaker 2>So could there be a Love and Marriage Atlanta starring

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Niini Leagus. I will say this, I will be honored

0:27:44.320 --> 0:27:51.240
<v Speaker 2>to work with Nini in any capacity. Nimi is very expensive.

0:27:52.520 --> 0:27:56.280
<v Speaker 3>That part, that part, but worth it worth it?

0:27:56.359 --> 0:28:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, listen, Nini is worth every single penny. Yes,

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:03.960
<v Speaker 2>I did you know gimmo Nique to be on Love

0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:07.960
<v Speaker 2>and Marriage DC. I obviously had Claudia Jordan on the

0:28:07.960 --> 0:28:11.720
<v Speaker 2>next fifteen. I had Shamar de Vot, although I have

0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:16.479
<v Speaker 2>Shamari first. I had Shamar Devote on my show BT Presents.

0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:19.119
<v Speaker 2>They encore. So y'all know me. I love to you.

0:28:19.160 --> 0:28:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Don't reach out to my girls who I love and

0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:26.080
<v Speaker 2>find them a bag. So Memi leaks, I will say

0:28:26.119 --> 0:28:31.600
<v Speaker 2>this if Nimi Leaks is ready to return to television.

0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Let me know from you guys, what show would you

0:28:39.200 --> 0:28:44.280
<v Speaker 2>like to see Nimi Leaks in? And make sure you

0:28:44.440 --> 0:28:51.520
<v Speaker 2>hashtag reality with the King and tweet me your answer. So, Evan,

0:28:51.880 --> 0:28:54.920
<v Speaker 2>now that I have you face to face and ear

0:28:54.920 --> 0:28:58.760
<v Speaker 2>to ear, honey, let me know what show would you

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:00.640
<v Speaker 2>like to see Nimi Leaks?

0:29:00.840 --> 0:29:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I would love Love and Marriage Atlanta. I

0:29:03.960 --> 0:29:06.800
<v Speaker 1>think she'd be the perfect girl to lead it. I

0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:10.840
<v Speaker 1>mean I know that she is dating again after Greg's

0:29:10.920 --> 0:29:12.680
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately pass away, and I think that would be a

0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:17.200
<v Speaker 1>really interesting story to see, like Nini getting back into

0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:21.080
<v Speaker 1>the dating pool, reviving her love life, maybe getting married again.

0:29:21.120 --> 0:29:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Like I want to see Nini win in that way.

0:29:24.120 --> 0:29:27.120
<v Speaker 1>So I think, yeah, there's so many incredible women in

0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta who will be able to round out the cast

0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:31.480
<v Speaker 1>with like and Nini would just be that perfect central force,

0:29:31.680 --> 0:29:35.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of like Monique was the perfect center point for DC.

0:29:36.040 --> 0:29:37.800
<v Speaker 1>So that's what I would love to see. I think

0:29:37.800 --> 0:29:41.040
<v Speaker 1>that's a great idea. Or I also I also think

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.880
<v Speaker 1>that Nini, you know, she could carry her own show,

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Like what do you think about Nini just doing kind

0:29:46.000 --> 0:29:48.240
<v Speaker 1>of like her own docuseries?

0:29:48.480 --> 0:29:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, listen. There's something magnificent about Nini's mannerisms and

0:29:55.360 --> 0:29:59.400
<v Speaker 2>how she is just as a personality, Like Nini doesn't

0:29:59.400 --> 0:30:03.719
<v Speaker 2>try hard to be funny. So like Nimi's greatest memes

0:30:03.720 --> 0:30:07.320
<v Speaker 2>and gifts of all time are things she's naturally doing,

0:30:07.440 --> 0:30:12.640
<v Speaker 2>like talking about Kenya's white refrigerator, or telling Kenya I

0:30:12.680 --> 0:30:17.440
<v Speaker 2>said what I said, or walking into a situation saying

0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 2>what is this, honey, like Nimi is a walking sound bite.

0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:25.040
<v Speaker 2>So I do believe that there is a world where

0:30:25.160 --> 0:30:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Nimi is able to just do what's show on her own.

0:30:28.920 --> 0:30:32.560
<v Speaker 2>I would love to see what's happening with her lounge, Thelenithia.

0:30:33.120 --> 0:30:35.960
<v Speaker 2>I would love to see this new relationship she has

0:30:36.000 --> 0:30:40.560
<v Speaker 2>with Naomi, her boyfriend, and I want to see what's

0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:46.440
<v Speaker 2>going on with her children, her grandchild, and how she's

0:30:46.560 --> 0:30:51.920
<v Speaker 2>navigating through life post Greg Leeks. So I'll say this much,

0:30:52.360 --> 0:30:57.480
<v Speaker 2>I know Nini and we still talk, so perhaps I'll

0:30:57.520 --> 0:31:00.760
<v Speaker 2>get Nini to talk about it herself.

0:31:01.840 --> 0:31:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I literally have full body shells you

0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:08.360
<v Speaker 1>just saying that, like, I need to hear a conversation

0:31:08.440 --> 0:31:10.000
<v Speaker 1>between you and need to go down. You don't even

0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:12.440
<v Speaker 1>have to talk about reality TV. What you got planned.

0:31:12.800 --> 0:31:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Could you could legitimately just say the ABCS together and

0:31:16.240 --> 0:31:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I would be entertained, like I can't wait for that.

0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Now, that'll be good, that that'll be good. But before

0:31:22.960 --> 0:31:25.600
<v Speaker 2>I let you go, I know how to off the

0:31:25.680 --> 0:31:30.640
<v Speaker 2>press is there's some breaking news going on on Vander

0:31:30.760 --> 0:31:32.280
<v Speaker 2>pump Rules. Evan.

0:31:33.000 --> 0:31:33.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:36.880
<v Speaker 1>So, apparently at Sheena's wedding, her her second wedding to Brock,

0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:39.240
<v Speaker 1>which was a beautiful by the way, the photos were stunning.

0:31:39.600 --> 0:31:42.400
<v Speaker 1>She redeemed herself from the crap top wedding dress. We

0:31:42.520 --> 0:31:46.120
<v Speaker 1>got this gorgeous lace gown with this long avail she liked,

0:31:46.320 --> 0:31:49.880
<v Speaker 1>absolutely stunning. But while she was out here looking stunning,

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:54.200
<v Speaker 1>apparently Tom Schwartz, who just is in the middle of

0:31:54.240 --> 0:31:59.000
<v Speaker 1>his divorce from Katie Maloney, hooked up with Raquel, who

0:31:59.520 --> 0:32:02.960
<v Speaker 1>was dating James, and they did this at the wedding.

0:32:03.040 --> 0:32:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Apparently they went into a room together, there were some

0:32:05.280 --> 0:32:09.360
<v Speaker 1>smooches and now I cannot wait for the next season

0:32:09.440 --> 0:32:11.600
<v Speaker 1>of vander Pumper Roles. Just when you kind of thought

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:14.680
<v Speaker 1>like vander Pumperoles and may have been on its last leg,

0:32:14.760 --> 0:32:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the kids are bringing the jama They know what to

0:32:16.560 --> 0:32:19.440
<v Speaker 1>do to get me at the ropes right back into it.

0:32:19.520 --> 0:32:21.800
<v Speaker 3>I cannot wait. I live for the mess.

0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:25.720
<v Speaker 2>So can you confirm though, that this wedding was filmed

0:32:26.000 --> 0:32:26.560
<v Speaker 2>for the show.

0:32:27.000 --> 0:32:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes, the wedding was filmed for the show, so we

0:32:29.080 --> 0:32:30.160
<v Speaker 1>will play We'll see this.

0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:32.760
<v Speaker 3>Play out on the show. Definitely the wedding.

0:32:33.120 --> 0:32:35.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if there were cameras and a micro

0:32:35.240 --> 0:32:39.080
<v Speaker 1>around for this a secret makeout between Tom and Raquel,

0:32:39.200 --> 0:32:41.520
<v Speaker 1>but I'm living for it because they've kind of been

0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:45.280
<v Speaker 1>hinting at this. Like Tom was on Sheena's podcast recently

0:32:45.320 --> 0:32:47.360
<v Speaker 1>and was like, yeah, like Raquel's kind of cute.

0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:50.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm kind of feeling her. So I am. I'm not

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:50.840
<v Speaker 3>mad at it.

0:32:50.920 --> 0:32:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I know that Katie is probably not very happy. They

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:58.560
<v Speaker 1>were spotted filming a few weeks back. Tom and Katie

0:32:58.600 --> 0:33:02.800
<v Speaker 1>in a very intense argument, and apparently it was about

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:06.400
<v Speaker 1>him kind of flirting with other girls. So even though

0:33:06.480 --> 0:33:10.200
<v Speaker 1>they're getting divorced, she's like, you're still my baby, and

0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:12.200
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be a minute before I'm gonna let you

0:33:12.240 --> 0:33:14.520
<v Speaker 1>hook up with other girls. I mean, unfortunately that's not

0:33:14.560 --> 0:33:16.880
<v Speaker 1>her choice now that she filed for divorce from him.

0:33:17.080 --> 0:33:18.120
<v Speaker 3>So I'm glad.

0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad that Tom seems to be able to move

0:33:20.080 --> 0:33:23.360
<v Speaker 1>on because I was actually worried about him. I felt

0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:25.760
<v Speaker 1>like he would be like stuck being single forever because

0:33:26.280 --> 0:33:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I felt like he was so comfortable in his marriage

0:33:28.920 --> 0:33:30.680
<v Speaker 1>with Tom Sports. And he's told me this as much

0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:33.080
<v Speaker 1>like he was like, I do not feel ready to date.

0:33:33.120 --> 0:33:34.360
<v Speaker 1>This was like back in April, he was like, I

0:33:34.400 --> 0:33:37.800
<v Speaker 1>can't date. It's I can't even like take my wedding

0:33:37.840 --> 0:33:41.040
<v Speaker 1>ring off. So he is making strides and Katie has

0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:43.960
<v Speaker 1>been on a few dates since calling it quits with Schwartz,

0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:46.280
<v Speaker 1>So like, if you're gonna spread your wings in fly,

0:33:46.360 --> 0:33:49.120
<v Speaker 1>you gotta let him leave the nest to Katie.

0:33:49.200 --> 0:33:51.000
<v Speaker 2>So Lisa banned upon present.

0:33:51.320 --> 0:33:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you know that Actually, now that you say that,

0:33:54.960 --> 0:33:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't remember seeing her in any

0:33:58.760 --> 0:34:01.360
<v Speaker 1>of the pictures. I actually need to look into that

0:34:01.440 --> 0:34:05.040
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like I've been seeing all these she

0:34:05.120 --> 0:34:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Anda wedding photos and I'm like, where did Maybe I

0:34:07.600 --> 0:34:09.879
<v Speaker 1>was so focused on the fact that Sina wasn't wearing

0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:11.960
<v Speaker 1>a crop top wedding dress that I just like totally

0:34:12.640 --> 0:34:16.440
<v Speaker 1>forgot that Lisa was there. But uh, yeah, thanks for

0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:18.680
<v Speaker 1>bringing that up, Carlos, because now I'm like what she there.

0:34:18.719 --> 0:34:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I feel like she would have been she wouldn't have

0:34:20.800 --> 0:34:23.000
<v Speaker 1>missed that. But I don't know if she would have

0:34:23.760 --> 0:34:26.000
<v Speaker 1>flown to Mexico because she's got a lot going on.

0:34:26.719 --> 0:34:27.080
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what.

0:34:27.200 --> 0:34:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Actually, I don't think she was there because my friend

0:34:30.920 --> 0:34:34.360
<v Speaker 1>was just in Vegas at her restaurant in Vegas and

0:34:34.400 --> 0:34:36.000
<v Speaker 1>she texted me She's like, oh my god, Lisa and

0:34:36.080 --> 0:34:38.040
<v Speaker 1>kenn are here and they're taking pictures with fans. So

0:34:38.120 --> 0:34:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think she could have been in Vegas and

0:34:39.600 --> 0:34:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Mexico at the same time.

0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:44.200
<v Speaker 3>So I don't know. I'm looking into this. I'm on it.

0:34:44.920 --> 0:34:47.279
