Speaker 1: Elatia. So I've been on a journey with Elatia Baldwin,
Speaker 1: Alec Baldwin's wife. I like Alec Baldwin. I find him
Speaker 1: to be entertaining and funny as an actor. He's been
Speaker 1: around forever. That family has seemed to be in the
Speaker 1: line light forever. I remember Billy Baldwin was huge years ago,
Speaker 1: and Stephen Baldwin not really so much. But his daughter
Speaker 1: is Hayley Baldwin, so she's the most famous of all
Speaker 1: the Baldwin's now, I guess. And Alec Baldwin is entertaining.
Speaker 1: And he was amazing on Thirty Rock and in so
Speaker 1: many movies. And he married Kim Basinger, who is agoraphobic,
Speaker 1: and they have a child together. And he got in
Speaker 1: a bunch of trouble for a message years ago calling
Speaker 1: his daughter a pig, and that sounds horrible. And he
Speaker 1: fell in love with this woman who I met once
Speaker 1: in the Hamptons, and her name is a Latia. And
Speaker 1: now that I've seen all the videos, she said she
Speaker 1: didn't know anything about pop culture and she never read
Speaker 1: Page six and they were calling her, and you know,
Speaker 1: she definitely her family they don't know anything about pop culture,
Speaker 1: and there was this indication that she was of Spanish
Speaker 1: descent and it met her once at a barbecue and
Speaker 1: I was half a nobody, and I was trying to
Speaker 1: connect with her on just saying like, oh, I do
Speaker 1: vinyasa yoga for years and I do it here at
Speaker 1: this place in the Hampton's and she was, oh, like
Speaker 1: she was very better than in judgmental, not in a
Speaker 1: very overt way, in a very subtle way, and just
Speaker 1: let me know that kind of like she does a
Speaker 1: different type of yoga and it's a very specialized type
Speaker 1: of yoga. And I felt like a loser saying that
Speaker 1: I just did this type of normal go to vinyasa
Speaker 1: yoga hour and fifteen minute class. I remember feeling like
Speaker 1: an idiot. And somebody on social media, because I posted
Speaker 1: about this on TikTok, said, well, that's a more about
Speaker 1: you how I felt, and that's true, but you know,
Speaker 1: no one can make you feel something great. She definitely
Speaker 1: definitely had an air about her, so much so that
Speaker 1: the people whose house it was that we knew in common.
Speaker 1: When I left, I said, she really thought she was
Speaker 1: hot shit and um Balick was gracious and what has
Speaker 1: happened with his family, and that gun going off by
Speaker 1: accident because it was an accident is so horrible. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I believe that an actor is
Speaker 1: supposed to know the rules of the gun. It's about
Speaker 1: the production company and I it's not. That's not the
Speaker 1: debate here. He was at fault, but I don't believe
Speaker 1: it was intentional, and it was an accident, and it's
Speaker 1: very sad, so um that I have tremendous compassion. And
Speaker 1: his wife, Hilaria, had a sweatshirt that's an empathy and
Speaker 1: giant letters, which I do have empathy for him. But
Speaker 1: let's get into this now. So a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: when it first came out that she had been doing
Speaker 1: interviews and letting everyone believe that she was from Spain.
Speaker 1: I don't know how it actually came out. That was
Speaker 1: like before cancelation started, but she let everybody believe that
Speaker 1: she was from Spain. I thought she was of Latin ascent.
Speaker 1: I did not know it was about Spain. I just
Speaker 1: knew that she had an accent. And so this one
Speaker 1: didn't understand how to pronounce cucumber. She didn't know anything
Speaker 1: about pop culture and page six so it sounds like
Speaker 1: she's allowing everybody to believe that she really is of
Speaker 1: Spanish descent. It's like it's you're you're just you're not
Speaker 1: being accountable. You're not saying I was born and bred
Speaker 1: in Spain, but you're kind of the language she chose
Speaker 1: in her interviews about my family is from Spain, and
Speaker 1: I guess she's from Boston and she just lived there.
Speaker 1: And her husband even imitated her accent, saying, and I
Speaker 1: believe he probably believed it too. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: he's imitating her accent and an interview how making it
Speaker 1: like she's like this like hot headed Spanish woman. And
Speaker 1: so I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt
Speaker 1: and say, can't somebody have a different accent if they
Speaker 1: spent some time in a different place. Madonna had a
Speaker 1: different accent. One of the housewives some of that. Some
Speaker 1: of the housewives have different accents, So I thought, can
Speaker 1: someone just have a different accent? And her name being Elatia,
Speaker 1: I was called Bethan high school and college. I always
Speaker 1: was embarrassed in my name Bethany because it was different.
Speaker 1: And I was trying to be Devil's advocate and can't
Speaker 1: she just cop and say I went too far? It
Speaker 1: was like Brian Williams talking about Afghanistan. I think it
Speaker 1: was Afghanistan in the helicopter, and can't I just say
Speaker 1: that I went too far? And and we know people
Speaker 1: in common, many people, but I know from first hand Horse.
Speaker 1: I know from firsthand that she will not cop. It's
Speaker 1: not her character to cop because she doesn't think that
Speaker 1: anything has gone on. And also, some people are addicted
Speaker 1: to paparazzi. It's not that they're just addicted to fame.
Speaker 1: They love to say the paparazzi is going to be there,
Speaker 1: and we have to hide from the paparazzi. And one
Speaker 1: of those other young girls that we grew up with
Speaker 1: that were teens on the cover of all those magazines.
Speaker 1: I knew also when we used to go to restaurant
Speaker 1: and they'd be like, oh my god, I just we
Speaker 1: can go by. I just hope the paparazzi is not there.
Speaker 1: They love feeding into it, and it's usually someone who's
Speaker 1: not that famous, because this makes them feel like they're
Speaker 1: telling other people how famous they are, like someone bragging
Speaker 1: about being rich. So it's my understanding that Hilaria has
Speaker 1: this specific nuanced condition where she loves the paparazzi, talking
Speaker 1: about it, the plight of it, and like reveling in it.
Speaker 1: And so that means that any kind of press will
Speaker 1: get you that. So if she and Alec are going
Speaker 1: through this terrible situation with this gun accident, and they
Speaker 1: have houses in remote places like I think Vermont and
Speaker 1: the Hampton's and New York City in the West Village
Speaker 1: where the paparazzi camp out all the time because there
Speaker 1: are only ten people in all of Manhattan they're trying
Speaker 1: to get. Most of them are down in the West Village.
Speaker 1: Why is she going in giants, sweatshirts, two coffee houses,
Speaker 1: in a blowout and weird outfits. Make a cough, get
Speaker 1: an espresso, Get a fucking espresso. Mr Coffee, You'll get
Speaker 1: you there too, Like going to get coffees and one
Speaker 1: of the paparazzi was like, why are you getting a latte?
Speaker 1: Like go home, you're here, you know we're gonna be here.
Speaker 1: So it feels like she really has addicted that. And
Speaker 1: then other people say that having that many kids each time,
Speaker 1: it's like a press cycle and it's a lot of
Speaker 1: attention and it's more people to love you and adore you,
Speaker 1: and I feel badly for those kids. You always have
Speaker 1: to feel badly for the kids. They probably didn't want
Speaker 1: any of the circus. And I actually feel badly for him.
Speaker 1: I really really feel badly for him. Somehow, thankfully she
Speaker 1: has trumped his story with the latiousness of this and
Speaker 1: the a liar that she seems to be. But what
Speaker 1: does it mean? Because you know it's disgussip if we
Speaker 1: don't talk about what it means. What does it mean?
Speaker 1: Why would why do people allow the lie to be true?
Speaker 1: Why can't people to be accountable and just say I like,
Speaker 1: I hate when I when I say something that I
Speaker 1: know someone else has said. I've said this before, Like
Speaker 1: here comes with with the Paltrow and her bag of
Speaker 1: bullshit is aligned from Kathy Griffin. Bag of bullshit came
Speaker 1: from Kathy Griffin. Hot masking from Christian Siriano. I've said
Speaker 1: this before, Paris Hilton is that's hot. I don't know
Speaker 1: who said I don't know who said Bye Felicia first.
Speaker 1: But when I know I'm saying something someone else has said,
Speaker 1: I'd just like to say that they said it first.
Speaker 1: Um So why is she allowing? What? Why are people
Speaker 1: someone secure? They just want attention for something it's not
Speaker 1: even true, and it's just sad, it's just crazy. So
Speaker 1: I gave her the benefit of the doubt, thinking why
Speaker 1: would you just not cop just be like, look, I
Speaker 1: went too far, because I think that would be very admirable.
Speaker 1: And everybody deserves a second chance, and everybody makes mistakes.
Speaker 1: But what about the people in the world that do
Speaker 1: not think they made a mistake and that just like
Speaker 1: want to live in the lie and live in the
Speaker 1: attention that the lie begets and the fifteen minutes of fame.
Speaker 1: People love that fifteen minutes of fame. It's really important
Speaker 1: that you touch based and communicate with your employees the
Speaker 1: way that you do a relationship. I want to explain
Speaker 1: why many times you're guessing you're maybe you're not happy
Speaker 1: with the way something's going with someone who's working for
Speaker 1: you or with you, and you're having these ideas in
Speaker 1: your head, and you might talk to other people about it.
Speaker 1: You might talk to other colleagues about it, you might
Speaker 1: talk to your spouse about it, or your friends, and
Speaker 1: you have your own thing going on in your head,
Speaker 1: and they have their own thing going on their head.
Speaker 1: They might think you're an asshole. They're not getting what
Speaker 1: they need, You're not getting what you need, just like
Speaker 1: in a relationship, you have to go to them because
Speaker 1: nine times out of ten, you're wrong about what you
Speaker 1: think is going on, and you may be right about
Speaker 1: the essence of it. But I recently and touched base
Speaker 1: with employee just to say, listen, I just want to
Speaker 1: make sure you're getting what you need, and I'm getting
Speaker 1: what I need because this is what I think you want,
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure. And they said what they thought
Speaker 1: I wanted, but they weren't sure, and both of us
Speaker 1: were completely off base, and we ended up meeting in
Speaker 1: the middle. And it was amazing because it changed the
Speaker 1: entire dynamic of the work relationship and gave them a
Speaker 1: deep breath and gave me a deep breath. Effectively, I
Speaker 1: couldn't fill enough hours for this person, and this person
Speaker 1: didn't want all of those hours, So I was trying
Speaker 1: to find mundane tasks of this person to do. Because
Speaker 1: if I've made a commitment to someone that i've hired
Speaker 1: them and I'm gonna give them a certain number of hours,
Speaker 1: I want to fill them. But if I'm paying them.
Speaker 1: I want them to do enough. And this person didn't
Speaker 1: want to be really working full time. They and they
Speaker 1: felt that they had to justify what they were doing
Speaker 1: because they thought that's what I wanted, just to fill
Speaker 1: hours of the day. And it was a complete disconnect
Speaker 1: And it was the best thing that ever happened was
Speaker 1: me just being transparent and saying can we sit down
Speaker 1: and talk? Because no one's gonna come tell you that
Speaker 1: they want to sit down and talk. And I think
Speaker 1: it's a two ways to the employee and the employer
Speaker 1: should both just say can we sit down and talk?
Speaker 1: Just touching base, taking the temperature, just like in a relationship.
Speaker 1: Often you speak to someone in a relationship when things
Speaker 1: are going wrong, and even just getting it out on
Speaker 1: the table makes you feel better than just like holding
Speaker 1: in these talks. And so it's very important to communicate
Speaker 1: with your staff
