Speaker 1: to Reality with the King. It's me Carlos kings the
Speaker 1: King of Reality TV and one of the most sought
Speaker 1: after executive producers in reality television with over ten years
Speaker 1: a production experience. Twice a week on Reality with the King,
Speaker 1: we'll sit down with my friends across the entertainment industry,
Speaker 1: recap our favorite reality shows and revisit unforgettable moments that
Speaker 1: we are still talking and tweeting abouts. On today's episode
Speaker 1: of Reality with the King. Oh, baby, doll, I have
Speaker 1: to do this episode solo. Yes, my loves, we are
Speaker 1: going to recap Monica, featuring the Real Housewives of Salt
Speaker 1: Lake City. Bitch. Yes, that to me is going to
Speaker 1: be the new name of the show. She's Diana Ross,
Speaker 1: She's Beyonce, She's Michael Jackson, She's Lionel Ritchie, She's glad
Speaker 1: as Knight. If you know where I'm going with this.
Speaker 1: You can tell that I am naming members of groups
Speaker 1: who have a math an amazing solo career. Look, I
Speaker 1: know Monica's fate on the show is still up for debate,
Speaker 1: so we will figure out what that means after part
Speaker 1: three of the reunion, where now I'm part two. But
Speaker 1: I must say, to sheet to sheet to sheet, Monica,
Speaker 1: I love you, But what the fuck is toochet? I
Speaker 1: know about tochet, and I know about two pays. Honey,
Speaker 1: No I don't wear one, but I have never heard
Speaker 1: of too chet. But if that's the language of Monica,
Speaker 1: I'm signing up forward. So Part two of the Real
Speaker 1: Housewives of Salt Lake City Reunion aired, and again it's
Speaker 1: the Monica Show. It really is the Monica Show. And
Speaker 1: one thing I have to give credit where credit is
Speaker 1: due is the fact that Monica really set on that
Speaker 1: couch and took all of these daggers from these women
Speaker 1: and did not cry. She did not get up and leave,
Speaker 1: She did not make excuses. Now, she may have made
Speaker 1: up some names, child, but we'll get to that in
Speaker 1: a second, honey. But I think what we all learn
Speaker 1: learn from this reunion is the fact that look, all
Speaker 1: jokes aside. You can say what you want about Monica,
Speaker 1: but to hear the backstory of her childhood and the
Speaker 1: backstory of her relationship with her mom, you can't help
Speaker 1: but feel sorry for her. And I'm not here to
Speaker 1: judge people. I'm not judge Judy or Tamar judge. Okay,
Speaker 1: not saying Tamar judge judges people. So I hope you
Speaker 1: know it's a plan on words child, okay, because Tamara
Speaker 1: is a good friend of mine. So when you have
Speaker 1: a force multiplier like Monica, like a Kenya Moore, Anini
Speaker 1: Leagus of Teresa Judais Giselle Bryant, when you have forced multipliers,
Speaker 1: one thing I always tell my producers on my shows
Speaker 1: where we have forced multipliers is you have to really
Speaker 1: dig deep into their childhood so that you can understand
Speaker 1: who they are as women. And in this case, we
Speaker 1: have to talk about female reality stars. Right. So that's
Speaker 1: why I named the force multipliers of women I either
Speaker 1: have worked with or have watch on television. Monica is
Speaker 1: a complex character, and knowing that her mother prayed for
Speaker 1: her to be a housewife was sad. And do I
Speaker 1: believe the story? I do? I mean, look, Monica must
Speaker 1: be the female Ted Bundy if she is going to
Speaker 1: make up something like that out of thin air, I
Speaker 1: just don't think Monica would make up something to that degree,
Speaker 1: especially because we saw the dynamics of her relationship with
Speaker 1: her mother. And remember Monica even said that her mom
Speaker 1: was making out with a guy in a car while
Speaker 1: Monica was in the back seat. And again not judging,
Speaker 1: but for a little girl to see that, that's quite disturbing.
Speaker 1: And when you have complex women joining reality television, always
Speaker 1: go down the road of their childhood and when you
Speaker 1: make the pit stop at their mother, the relationship they
Speaker 1: have with the mom, it will always explain why they're
Speaker 1: as complex as they are. Nini Leaks, Kenya Moore. You know,
Speaker 1: those are just two examples of women who are the
Speaker 1: best at what they do, but both having very complex
Speaker 1: relationships with their mothers. Knowing what Monica had to experience
Speaker 1: as a little girl, we were privy to this season
Speaker 1: and part two of the reunion, we're now learning that, Wow,
Speaker 1: your mother wanted your job, and it appears that your
Speaker 1: mother wants to your life. The complex relationship with mother
Speaker 1: and daughters are very sensitive because as a little girl,
Speaker 1: you look up to your mom. She's your best friend,
Speaker 1: she's the one who you idolize, she's your first example
Speaker 1: of a role model. In some situations, the mother can
Speaker 1: oftentimes can become resentful of the daughters. Resentful meaning sometimes
Speaker 1: their daughters may have a better relationship with their father,
Speaker 1: which is their mother's husband, right, and that could cause
Speaker 1: a complex relationship. We're seeing a complex relationship between Paris
Speaker 1: Hilton and Kathy Hilton. We all assume that Paris and
Speaker 1: Kathy were close, but after watching Paris in Love season two,
Speaker 1: you really got a chance to understand that they have
Speaker 1: a complex relationship. And from what I saw, a lot
Speaker 1: of it had to do with the fact that Paris
Speaker 1: obviously was a wild child, but she was also very
Speaker 1: close to her dad, and I under if that played
Speaker 1: a part in the distance relationship that Paris and Kathy had.
Speaker 1: So when it comes to Monica and her mom, it
Speaker 1: appears that Monica's mother always wanted her life and to
Speaker 1: get down on your knees and pray to the Lord
Speaker 1: above for you to have your daughter's job is very sad,
Speaker 1: and I know that we like to, you know, make
Speaker 1: jokes about the complex relationship she has with her mother,
Speaker 1: but similarly to us understanding Kenya Moore's backstore with her mom.
Speaker 1: It allowed even Kenya's haters to really understand that. Look,
Speaker 1: I mean, I like Kenya, but I now understand who
Speaker 1: she is. I now understand why she's a woman who
Speaker 1: is complex. I now understand why she's a fighter. I
Speaker 1: now understand why she's so tough. She had to deal
Speaker 1: with the fact that her mother ignored her while they
Speaker 1: were all living under the same roof for a girl
Speaker 1: to deal with. So then you have Monica who auditioned
Speaker 1: to be on the Real Housewatch of Salt Lake City,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden she is crying to
Speaker 1: her mom, and her mom prays that if my daughter
Speaker 1: doesn't get the job, I want to get it. Like,
Speaker 1: that's fucked up, and you can tell that Monica is
Speaker 1: still very damaged by that. Monica is a beautiful woman,
Speaker 1: but you could tell she's damaged inside courtesy of her
Speaker 1: complex relationship with her mother. And this episode made me
Speaker 1: fall in love with Monica even more. What we have
Speaker 1: to do, though, is really try our best to understand
Speaker 1: the complexities of this woman and what is so fucked
Speaker 1: up about this cast on Salt Lake City nobody was
Speaker 1: checking for this show. Guys were on the radar of
Speaker 1: the Real Housewives of Dallas level of attention span that
Speaker 1: we had on this show, And instead of putting your
Speaker 1: foot forward and saying, at least after reunion, like, okay,
Speaker 1: this woman is really telling us who she is. I
Speaker 1: may be met about the blog situation, so I'll get
Speaker 1: to it, but this is fucked up. Let's kind of
Speaker 1: like understand her more. The only person who was trying
Speaker 1: to me was Whitney, and I appreciate Whitney for trying
Speaker 1: to be human in that moment and putting her feelings
Speaker 1: about Monica's side, but watching Monica share her story and
Speaker 1: to see the skowl of Heather, Lisa and Angie made
Speaker 1: them so unlikable to me. I just don't understand how
Speaker 1: you can sit up here and claim to be a
Speaker 1: part of this Christian, Mormon faith or whatever you are
Speaker 1: right now, and this woman across from you is telling
Speaker 1: you about her childhood and you don't have any empathy
Speaker 1: or sympathy for her. This woman is giving us something
Speaker 1: that you girls aren't giving us at all, and instead
Speaker 1: of you guys being there for her at least in
Speaker 1: this moment, right. What you ladies are doing is what
Speaker 1: to me is just wrong with some of the women
Speaker 1: who are part of these franchises where we're dealing with Potomac,
Speaker 1: where Candace is crying for help because she's realizing that
Speaker 1: the rest of the women are trying to get her fired,
Speaker 1: that they're trying to ice her out. Candace, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: is being iced out on the show. I hate to
Speaker 1: say this, I think Candace is aware that she's not
Speaker 1: going to be asked back next season because the queen
Speaker 1: Bee of the show, Giselle, doesn't want her there, and
Speaker 1: it's painfully obvious, and Giselle has Robin and Ashley to
Speaker 1: be a monks of the crowd to say she must go.
Speaker 1: And my fear that is looking like a reality is
Speaker 1: enjoy Candace while you can, because this may very well
Speaker 1: be her last season because these ladies do not warn
Speaker 1: her on the show, and at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: they're going to choose Giselle over Candace. And you can
Speaker 1: quote me on that, because that's what's going to happen
Speaker 1: to candas unfortunately, and I think is fucked up. What
Speaker 1: I saw on part two of the House Wall to
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City. That's what these ladies are trying to
Speaker 1: do to Monica. As Monica is telling you her real
Speaker 1: life story, these women are saying, do not give her
Speaker 1: any ounce of sensitivity, remorse, love, because our mission, and
Speaker 1: my Tom Cruise voice, hey, impossible. Their mission is to
Speaker 1: get rid of Monica. And what these women know is
Speaker 1: this show, in my air quotation marks, is allegedly built
Speaker 1: on real friendships, which to me is bullshit. Nobody on
Speaker 1: the show or across this franchise has a real friendship.
Speaker 1: Besides Robin and Giselle on Potomac and Alexis and Marisol
Speaker 1: on Miami. The rest of these girls met on set,
Speaker 1: or they met months before filming, or they knew of
Speaker 1: each other a little bit, but then getting on the show,
Speaker 1: they have that common ground. You guys are the same
Speaker 1: ones who think Sutton and Garcel are the Paris and
Speaker 1: the Coal of the simple life in the nine to
Speaker 1: two to one zero. And I love Garceil and I
Speaker 1: love Sutton. But let's call a spade a spade, not
Speaker 1: the case spade purse. Let's call a spade of spade.
Speaker 1: No black folks, not the car game. Let's call a
Speaker 1: spade a spade. This show wants to give off of
Speaker 1: this this air that's about real friendships and it's not.
Speaker 1: And I love Tamar Judge. She brought Tamara. Don't kill me,
Speaker 1: it's fuddy, But Tamar Judge brought her friend Jen On,
Speaker 1: and I know Tamar is saying she need to bring
Speaker 1: her on, and Tama's gonna kill me for this, but
Speaker 1: I love you, Tam tawm. Tama brought Jin on and
Speaker 1: read her for film. It's like, well, damn, Tamera, did
Speaker 1: you have to read Jay like that and throw a
Speaker 1: napkin in her face? Geez? But Tamar says, somebody gotta
Speaker 1: save this sinking ship, and baby Tamar did it. Thank you, Tam,
Speaker 1: tamp and Jen I love you. I think you're a
Speaker 1: great cast member, by the way. But even deeper than that,
Speaker 1: what you're also seeing is when Tamara was fired, Shanna
Speaker 1: Badore stopped talking to her. But you guys want to
Speaker 1: read me when I tell you that certain women on
Speaker 1: these franchises are friends. Tamra and Shannon were besties. Tamarck
Speaker 1: gets fired, Shanna says, I'm still on this show, so
Speaker 1: I gotta fucking make friends with the Queen of Chili's,
Speaker 1: which is Gina, and then she has to be friends
Speaker 1: with Gina and Emily and she's like really, so, you know,
Speaker 1: she dissed Tamera. So when it comes to Salt Lake City,
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do is not show any empathy
Speaker 1: for Monica's story. And that was so evident in this
Speaker 1: part two reunion and it made me just realize that
Speaker 1: I have a strong feeling they're going to ice her
Speaker 1: out to where there's no point of no return. And
Speaker 1: if that happens, how unfortunate would it be When you
Speaker 1: guys were on the chopping block that karate Kid would
Speaker 1: practice his moves on and break shouldn't have And now
Speaker 1: you guys are breaking this cast in half because Monica
Speaker 1: was a blogger. It's weird to me. Nothing's more weird
Speaker 1: though than the word too shed, But hey, I digress.
Speaker 1: One of the other things that we saw on Part
Speaker 1: two reunion is the fact that Lisa Lisa Lisa. First
Speaker 1: of all, I think Lisa Barlow is one of the
Speaker 1: most beautiful women on television. I think she's stunning to
Speaker 1: look at. But Lisa is full of shit and I
Speaker 1: love Missa and Lisa Barlow. You can sit up there
Speaker 1: and say to Monica about all the nasty things she
Speaker 1: said to these other women. She said it, she said it,
Speaker 1: but she owns it. Monica did not have to get
Speaker 1: caught on a hot mic talking to the showrunner of
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City for you to be exposed of talking
Speaker 1: about your and Eric Crow's best friend, Meredith. The stuff
Speaker 1: you said about Meredith behind her back. I am shocked
Speaker 1: that Meredith can't forgive you. I'm shocked the things you
Speaker 1: said about her was so disgusting that if you got
Speaker 1: gonna kick off Monica, then fuck kick off Lisa. Because
Speaker 1: if Lisa can say that about her girl, Meredith behind
Speaker 1: her back on a hot mic, imagine what she is
Speaker 1: saying about the rest of y'all when she is at
Speaker 1: home spending sixty thousand dollars on a ring getting makeup done,
Speaker 1: to go to brunch down the street, or to go
Speaker 1: to Sundance Film Festival. But none of y'all cared about
Speaker 1: that because y'all felt that Lisa belonged in this affluent
Speaker 1: eliti's life that you women live. So Lisa is like,
Speaker 1: you talk about women too, Lisa, you said crazier shit
Speaker 1: about these other women as well. Why is it that
Speaker 1: when Monica says it. It's the worst thing in the
Speaker 1: world is because Monica's delivery is better. Call Monica Pisa
Speaker 1: hut because the bitch delivers on time and it's hot.
Speaker 1: So are we upset that her delivery is much stronger?
Speaker 1: And now it's another reason why see guess what lady,
Speaker 1: this is Lisa. I'm mocking Lisa at this point. Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: guess what, Like, We're gonna make sure that you know,
Speaker 1: when it comes to you know, Monica and everything she's saying,
Speaker 1: we have to make sure that she understands that we're
Speaker 1: not fucking with her. So that's what we're going to do.
Speaker 1: And all of your girls fall in line. I don't
Speaker 1: mind a housewife working for the check. But Heather, you
Speaker 1: have to be the most bored woman in Salt Lake City.
Speaker 1: What do you do? You have more time on your
Speaker 1: hands than a Rolex watch tick tick boom boom. You
Speaker 1: literally sit on ready. You are so bored and have
Speaker 1: nothing else going on in your life that you sit
Speaker 1: there and have to Nisha with her curling iron and
Speaker 1: her bundles work with you allegedly to dig up things
Speaker 1: on people. You literally have a pamphlet and encyclopedia on
Speaker 1: every single thing Monica has done since she was twelve
Speaker 1: years old. You now are playing some audio of Monica
Speaker 1: talking shit about Mary. By the way, Monica love you,
Speaker 1: But girlfriend, it doesn't bear you were talking shit about Mary.
Speaker 1: But guess what, it's bye again. I just don't think
Speaker 1: we watch reality TV for the moral compass of it all.
Speaker 1: I think we're sort of like, okay, Monica called Mary
Speaker 1: a bit, like, guys, are we seriously going to make
Speaker 1: this a big deal? But the reason why it was
Speaker 1: highlight it for me is because it showed that these
Speaker 1: women were trying to get married to come to their side,
Speaker 1: because they kind of saw that Mary had sympathy for Monica,
Speaker 1: and because they know that Mary is the fan favorite.
Speaker 1: They were like, no, Mary, you cannot get Monica to
Speaker 1: be on your team because if you want Monica, that
Speaker 1: means we are forced to film with her next season.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell this to you guys again. Their
Speaker 1: mission this reunion was to ice out Monica. That's why
Speaker 1: Lisa kept saying, no, you said this, and She's like,
Speaker 1: Monica's like, no, bitch, you said that too. They're all like, no,
Speaker 1: but Monica's yours worst, and then you had ANGIEK. And again,
Speaker 1: I love Angik. I think she's a great comedian, but
Speaker 1: we call her Hurricane Angie. Cue the hurricane sound Sierra,
Speaker 1: what's the forecast today, Lisa? Are we doing a tornado
Speaker 1: on Monica today? Heather, what's the forecast today? This is
Speaker 1: Hurricane Angie reporting for duty. I just go where the windblows.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yes, that's who Angie K is. So then
Speaker 1: Angie K was able to of course be on Lisa's
Speaker 1: side shockingly and also come from Monica. And then they're
Speaker 1: both like, know Mary Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary Mary. No,
Speaker 1: she said that that's her voice. Mary, are you listening?
Speaker 1: See what I'm saying? Guys. Their intention was to we
Speaker 1: have to get everybody to be on our side. And
Speaker 1: that's the reason why Meredith, who's sit in the middle
Speaker 1: looking gorgeous in her rid, didn't say a word. Meredith
Speaker 1: didn't say two words this reunion because deep down inside,
Speaker 1: Meredith likes Monica. Because Meredith was like Dick, some more
Speaker 1: sit up on Lisa, because let's be clear, Meredith will
Speaker 1: never ever get over what Lisa said about her on
Speaker 1: a hot mic that is embedded in Meredith's brain. Meredith
Speaker 1: wants Monica back, but Meredith, who doesn't know how to
Speaker 1: drive a vehicle, can't drive herself to go against Queen
Speaker 1: Heather and her minions. I'm telling you how it works.
Speaker 1: And because Whitney doesn't mess with her cousin Heather, that's
Speaker 1: why you saw Whitney really try to sympathize with Monica
Speaker 1: because she's kind of like Monica, I'm trying to help you.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get you at least at least I'm
Speaker 1: trying because I believe the donna's side. Whitney's like, Monica's
Speaker 1: good for the show, Like, I don't care what your
Speaker 1: lady say, Monica's good for the show. So what you
Speaker 1: saw was Mary trying to have Monica's back, understand her
Speaker 1: a little bit, but the other girls were not going
Speaker 1: to have it. They just weren't going to have it.
Speaker 1: And then you have Monica claimed that Whitney's a racist,
Speaker 1: which I'm like, damn, that's whoa. I was not expecting that,
Speaker 1: not at all. That blew me away. It blew me away.
Speaker 1: I don't know Whitney like that, so I can't tell
Speaker 1: you whether or not she is. Listen, I watched TV
Speaker 1: like we all do. Child, I don't think she is
Speaker 1: based on what I saw on the TV show, but
Speaker 1: I don't know what Mary knows, honey. So Child, that's
Speaker 1: a very strong accusation. And look, honey, Child, I don't know.
Speaker 1: But it was very interesting to really see race play
Speaker 1: a role in the party reunion because Monica also said
Speaker 1: when she was going over her names, because Monica changed
Speaker 1: her name a couple of times, I'm like, what in
Speaker 1: the true crime is going on here, Monica? So Monica
Speaker 1: changed her names a couple of times, So I think
Speaker 1: it was Monica Darnell, then it was Monica Garcia, then
Speaker 1: it was Linda Monica Garcia, which apparently Monica and her
Speaker 1: mom have the same name, and that whole thing was weird.
Speaker 1: And then you had Monica claim that Lisa said the
Speaker 1: reasons why Monica changed her name back to Garcia while
Speaker 1: she was auditioning for the show is because she wanted
Speaker 1: to appear to be a Latina. Now, I'm sure you
Speaker 1: guys want to know what's the big deal, So let
Speaker 1: me explain it to you. For the past couple of years,
Speaker 1: there has been this call to action to have more
Speaker 1: diversity on these shows. That's why within one calendar year, child,
Speaker 1: you had Ebony as the first black housewife in New
Speaker 1: York City. You had Garcilles the first black housewife in
Speaker 1: Belly Hills. You had Crystal as the first Asian American
Speaker 1: on Beverley Hills. You had Tiffany Moon as the first
Speaker 1: Asian American on Dallas, and the list goes on. Oh,
Speaker 1: and then you have the first black housewife on the OC,
Speaker 1: which was Noela. So what Monica was telling us is
Speaker 1: Lisa felt that Monica was so desperate to get on
Speaker 1: the show that she wanted to appear as Latina. Since
Speaker 1: Lisa knows that they believe in diversity and inclusion, and
Speaker 1: if Monica can appear to be a Latina, then she
Speaker 1: has a better chance of being on the show, so
Speaker 1: that they all can say, look, we have diversity. Of
Speaker 1: course Lisa did, and I did. Now look, I don't
Speaker 1: believe anything Lisa says. And I like Lisa as a
Speaker 1: beautiful woman, and I love her, her kids and her husband.
Speaker 1: Lisa Barlow is gorgeous and so is her family. But Lisa,
Speaker 1: you are a liar, liar pants on fire. And that's okay.
Speaker 1: Well it's not okay. It's housewives who cares. But it
Speaker 1: goes to show you that I strongly believe Lisa Barlow
Speaker 1: said that because once again, guys, not to toot my
Speaker 1: own horn. Thank you Sarah for the horn sound effects.
Speaker 1: But I try to tell you, guys, these women have
Speaker 1: an elitist attitude towards Monica because they don't feel like
Speaker 1: she belongs on the show. And the other reason why
Speaker 1: they want to ice out Monica is because Monica knows
Speaker 1: a lot about these women. And one thing I always
Speaker 1: tell you guys about these housewives, some of them have
Speaker 1: a pact to where they will never say anything so
Speaker 1: vile publicly on the show because they don't want to
Speaker 1: open up those can of worms. Listen to me, and
Speaker 1: listen to me. Clearly, every last Salt Lake City housewife
Speaker 1: has secrets. No, not secrets the Orderant, not Barry White's
Speaker 1: the Secret Garden. These women have very deep, dark secrets.
Speaker 1: And the reason why they want to push Monica out
Speaker 1: fast is because they know Monica knows it all. And
Speaker 1: because Monica had a blog, they know that Monica is
Speaker 1: capable of exposing them. So what do you do when
Speaker 1: someone has dirt on you? In the movies, you kill
Speaker 1: them off the show. Ladies and gentlemen, what you witnessed
Speaker 1: on the Part two reunion of Salt Lake City was
Speaker 1: just that. Thank you for listening to Reality with the King.
