0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, I made a lot of new support system

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 1>and community, just you know, through people dming me on

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.679
<v Speaker 1>Instagram and you know all that stuff, just checking in,

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>making sure I was good, making sure Jess was good,

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 1>making sure you know, we understood that. Like yo, y'all, like, hey,

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>this is a moment for y'all to really show the

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 1>world with two black women on a major media platform

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.679
<v Speaker 1>who are going to be faced with, you know, obstacles

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.680
<v Speaker 1>and different things will still come after this, what y'all

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 1>can do and how y'all can do it. For everybody

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>who reached out sincerely and wasn't trying to get some

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 1>information for a story or get a quote or just be.

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Messy, I appreciate y'all. I know that.

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Just appreciate you guys too, because for the first time

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 1>ever in my life, I wasn't reaching out to break

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>the story. I wasn't detailing the story. I wasn't regurgitating

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>a story. I was a story. Nothing could have prepared

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 1>me for that more than my relationship with God that

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I have right now. And I was raised in the church.

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I've always had a relationship with God. That's you know,

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>my family and all of that, Like.

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 2>That's just how I was raised.

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 1>But I think when you're grown and you established that

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>relationship yourself. It is so different and like a year

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>ago when I decided to like get my apartment in

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.559
<v Speaker 1>New York and I was trying to figure everything out.

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:25.639
<v Speaker 1>One of the things that I did was I was like,

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'm gonna give my life to God again.

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Not gonna get emotional.

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a good emotion, though, y'all got me like be

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Simone up her crown on this podcast about God.

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Like what is happening right now. But when I did.

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>That, though, I knew that it was a conscious decision,

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and I told myself, I taught myself then that I

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 1>was like arming myself with everything that I was going

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>to need to go to this like next level of

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:02.840
<v Speaker 1>things and God. When I tell y'all, I had no

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>idea everything that was going to happen. And this is

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.920
<v Speaker 1>not about like the j just Instagram Live. I mean

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.399
<v Speaker 1>like everything. I just mean, like, you know, me being

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 1>blessed with the opportunity to be at like I left

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 1>a job. When you get on television as a personality,

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 1>you don't take yourself off of TV. I don't care

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.640
<v Speaker 1>how imperfect that situation is, Babe. You figure it out

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.640
<v Speaker 1>and you make it work. And for me, you know,

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>being at TMZ and being in LA and La is

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 1>a number one market or you know, at least I

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>could think things change, numbers change or whatever. I know,

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 1>it's at least top five market. And you're on television

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and you're on prime time, your daytime talk show, and.

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 2>No one really knew who I was.

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, people knew, but like people were it was like, oh,

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the girl from TMZ to leave that and go to

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>a platform where like I was able and you guys

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>were able to learn me get to know who I was,

0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 1>and you.

0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Know what I mean. I was just like, man, God

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 2>is really moving in my life.

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>When I got on the other side of that, and

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 1>now the conversation that's shaking the room is about me.

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Following jessco on Live on Instagram, I was like, oh shit,

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 1>this is crazy. My first reaction was like, what the fuck, Like,

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:25.919
<v Speaker 1>what's happening right now?

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Wait? What? And I just knew it was something because

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 2>people just kept sending me to live, sending me live.

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, okay, either she's on there, because you know,

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:37.480
<v Speaker 1>like behind the scenes, I knew that like things weren't perfect.

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 1>I knew she wasn't the most happiest person. But I

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.719
<v Speaker 1>think in my role, I can only speak for myself.

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.359
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to do as much as I could

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:48.159
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that things worked out well enough where

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.599
<v Speaker 1>she could at least show up and do her job comfortably.

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Some chears warming up in here. Hello guys, and welcome back.

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.080

<v Speaker 1>but I gotta cut in and just let y'all know

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:16.840
<v Speaker 1>where my state of mind was within these like throwback episodes.

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>By episode three of the Latest with Lauren La Rosa,

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:24.599
<v Speaker 1>I was literally running on fumes. I was not used

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>to this daily regimen of you know, the daily podcast,

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out the video, doing the audio. I'm

0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.159
<v Speaker 1>up late doing all the edits, doing a rundown for

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>the breakfast club stuff. My family start tripping, like my mother,

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 1>my grandmother, They like, yo, what's going on? We ain't

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.599
<v Speaker 1>hearing from you. Everything was moving so fast. Everything was

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>exploding and I'm I mean, I'm grateful to God that

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.560
<v Speaker 1>it did, but oh my god, I couldn't talk about

0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>it then because I was like, I don't want to

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 1>sound like I'm complaining, but even listening to my voice

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.040
<v Speaker 1>and listening to myself in these first probably the first

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>five episodes of the podcast, and that's why I'm so

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 1>happy that all this is like dot minute you can

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:05.280
<v Speaker 1>just hear, you know, the wear and tear of all

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.719
<v Speaker 1>the things, like you know, Breakfast Club was happening and

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 1>people were excited to see me there and the podcast

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>had just been announced and we were running with the

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>first episodes. I don't think people talk about enough about how,

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, when elevation happens, Like we pray for good

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 1>things to happen, we pray to elevate. You work hards,

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 1>you're consistent. You know, I'm learning in real time, so

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing well, I'm failing in real time. Shoot, I

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>sell them sometimes. But people don't talk about enough how

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>just learning to adjust and unlearning what you knew on

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>one level, to relearn and learn for the first time

0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>things on this you know, elevated level.

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 2>How that like takes a toll on you.

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Mentally and physically while having to stay together in front

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 1>of you know all everybody. So you know, as I'm

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm listening with y'all reflecting back on these episodes, I'm.

0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Like, man, you could literally.

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Hear and feel it. Wow, episode three? What is today?

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Today's too?

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Yes, this is episode three? Okay, Yes, I'm tired, y'all,

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>So let me know how y'all feel on Twitter on

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Instagram as you're listening to this and you tag me.

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like at this point, we are so

0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 1>exhausted by these Diddy civil lawsuits and all of the

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:29.080
<v Speaker 1>things in the sensational like the sensationalize of information that

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 1>are putting these lawsuits to make them go, to make

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>them pick up, to make them spread that now people

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>don't even care as much. It's like, I mean it.

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 1>And again, there may be people who were actually victimized

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 1>in these ways by Diddy. There may be that is alleged.

0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>We don't know until it plays out in court on

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:50.599
<v Speaker 1>both the criminal and the civil side, whatever makes it

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.559
<v Speaker 1>the court, right, But it's just kind of crazy because

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's like it literally feels like it

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:57.080
<v Speaker 1>like came and went.

0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Like at one point in time.

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 1>I know, for me as on a journale side, like

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, as I'm choosing stories to do on the

0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Breakfast Club or choosing stories to like you know, actively

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>get new angles and report on and things of that nature.

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm always like you know, looking for like, Okay, what's new,

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.439
<v Speaker 1>what's happening, what's happening? But the Diddy stop to me. Now,

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm just like, oh another one, bro, another one. Can

0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:23.680
<v Speaker 1>we just skip to the point where he go to

0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.679
<v Speaker 1>court so we can see what's true what's not? Hold up,

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm back again to pop on in I'm popping in

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>the flashbacks. This was so funny to me when I

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>relistened to this episode because I'm like, girl, if only

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.199
<v Speaker 1>you had known you was gonna be in court every

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.800
<v Speaker 1>day right with Diddy? And that was a big moment

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 1>for us here on the podcast as well, because we

0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.960
<v Speaker 1>covered every day that I was in court, what happened

0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 1>in court, on the latest with Along the Roads and

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.440
<v Speaker 1>all those episodes are there in full for you guys

<v Speaker 1>to go back and listen to if you need to

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 1>catch up as well. But I listened to this and

0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I literally laughed, like, girl, you was you couldn't wait

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:03.080
<v Speaker 1>for court. Come you were in court every day tied

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 1>to tale sleet walking again. Okay, y'all, this is the

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 1>latest with Laurya l Rosa. I am Laura la Rosa.

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 1>This is episode four, So let's get on into some things.

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 1>We're taking y'all to court. We were doing a little.

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Court you know what I mean.

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 1>If there's a Dun Dunn Taylor put that on in here,

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I need that. Okay, it's given litigation right now. So

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the first thing I wanted to talk about wash Drake.

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>You guys know that Drake has been going back and

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.760
<v Speaker 1>forth with Universal Music Group over the song not Like Us,

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:40.319
<v Speaker 1>even though he's positioning it and claiming that it's not

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 1>specifically about the song, that it's more so about the

0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 1>fact that his label did not protect him and that

0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.480
<v Speaker 1>they allowed another artist on the label, speaking of Kendrick

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Lamar to drop out like Us, which Drake and team

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 1>say is a very defamatory song. It's dangerous and there's

0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 1>no way that this should have been supported. So now

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 1>he is suing. Okay, the lassit. There's been a lot

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 1>of back and forth, but more recently the Universal Music

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Group side of things said, you know what, Judge this

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:15.559
<v Speaker 1>all is bs, Drake, don't really he doesn't honestly think

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 1>that we did half of.

0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 2>The stuff that he's claiming.

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.679
<v Speaker 1>He's claiming that they work with bots to make not

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Like Us a bigger songs than it was. He's claiming

0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.839
<v Speaker 1>that they you know, paid third party bloggers to talk

0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 1>about it, that they paid radio, like just a ton

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.600
<v Speaker 1>of different things right that he has claimed over some time.

0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 2>He's claiming everything. But the song is a bop, and baby,

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 2>the song is a bop.

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.440
<v Speaker 1>So this next episode that you guys are about to

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 1>hear from like the first couple weeks of the podcast,

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 1>is really really special to me because my mom was

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 1>one of the guests on the episodes, and I've always

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 1>said I wanted to do like a sit down, like

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 1>some sort of content with me, my mom, and my

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 1>grandmom just because I feel like the generational conversations are

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 1>good and there's you know, there's some things that aren't

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>so good, but I think that, you know, it could

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>help people to see us talk through it. So getting

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 1>her on the podcast was fired. My mom loves to talk,

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.360
<v Speaker 1>she loves people, so she was more than excited to

0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 1>do it. But it was also special for me because

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you know when my mom, my mom is a stage

0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 1>four cancer survivor. If you guys have listened to my

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 1>early episodes here on The Latest with Lona Rosa, I've

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 1>talked about that.

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.200
<v Speaker 2>I believe, but my mom.

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I remember one time we had a conversation just about

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:26.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, my mom was just basically trying to comfort me.

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Early.

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.679
<v Speaker 1>She's like, look, we don't know how this is going

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.120
<v Speaker 1>to all work out, you know, with this cancer battle.

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 1>We don't know what's going to happen. I'm not giving up.

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 1>God has the last say so, but I just want

0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.680
<v Speaker 1>you to know that, you know, everything I've been able

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 1>to see you and your brother accomplished in life has

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 1>fulfilled me. If I don't ever get to see anything else,

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I am fulfilled as a parent and that I know

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:53.280
<v Speaker 1>she was trying to comfort me, but it broke my

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.000
<v Speaker 1>heart because I'm like, man, it's so much to do

<v Speaker 1>to figure out whether I was going to put it

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:05.480

<v Speaker 2>Golden.

0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.240
<v Speaker 1>This is kind of like another full circle woman for you,

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.040
<v Speaker 1>because you guys are the African American Museum in d C.

0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 4>We We were, We absolutely were. It's just it's you know,

0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:43.400
<v Speaker 4>I think because Girlfriends was so iconic. I feel so

0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 4>old when I say that, I'm like iconic, But I

0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 4>think because it was one of the first shows that

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 4>actually celebrated or you know, maur Buck to kill, you know,

0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.520
<v Speaker 4>hats off to her showing black women doing yoga and

0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 4>eating sushi and wearing fly closed designer. I think that

0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:04.880
<v Speaker 4>was the first time I ever heard about, you know,

0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.879
<v Speaker 4>the well, not really the broken back because Sex and

0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.080
<v Speaker 4>the City did it, but you had women of women

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.800
<v Speaker 4>of color wearing designer. You know.

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.640
