I 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.080 felt like last week the news was so slow when 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.120 there wasn't much going on, and when that happens, I'm like, 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:36.360 all right, we need to make some news, we need 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:40.480 to make some conversation. So this week I think you 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.320 guys will see a lot more of that, especially here 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.600 on the podcast The Latest with one of the Roads 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.759 of because we'll have the time to be digging all 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:48.240 into the people's business. 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.040 Other than that, though, yeah, we were good. 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:53.480 We typing on it into the Latest, so let's get 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:58.400 into it. So this week, actually, speaking of this week, 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:02.080 as we go into the Latest, everything that's happening right now, 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:06.600 we are days away from the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion. 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:11.639 Now I Real Housewives of Atlanta, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.919 but I actually haven't really tuned into Beverly Hills as 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.440 much as I was before I told myself that I 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.760 was gonna get all caught up before Bozma Saint John 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:25.560 Bow's loved Bows before her wedding because I wanted to, like, 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:27.960 you know, she's been covering her wedding on the show 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.120 and preparing for it. 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:31.160 Amongst other things. 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.720 But with Real Housewives of Atlanta, they're like my like 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.440 my favorite fan chise like they are number one for me. 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:41.000 I've been hanging onto every episode the season. Sometimes I 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:44.680 haven't watched two or three a day because I haven't 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:48.799 been caught up. I just finished the season finale episode 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:54.360 prior to preparing myself for the the reunion this weekend. 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:59.320 And there was reporting this week, like literally kicking off 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.880 this week that the girls have received their contracts. 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:02.760 And that's always a. 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:06.600 Thing, like the day that the women of Royal housewivest 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.600 of Atlanta Cash received their contracts, as always a day 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.960 that like makes news because then people start having conversations 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.880 about who received the contract, what role are they coming 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.160 back in. For those of you guys who do not 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.520 watch Housewives, when I say a roll are they coming 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:24.080 back in? You have like main characters and non main characters. 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.440 They call them peachholders. And friends of the show, right 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.320 or a friend of a peach holder. So, for instance, 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.639 Porscha Williams peachholder this season, that just means that a 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.840 lot of the show revolved around her. Shemiah actually you know, 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:42.000 got her peach this season, and it was a very 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:46.480 emotionally rough season for Shamia, especially being as though we 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.720 knew her as Porscha's friend on the show and now 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:51.400 we got to get more into her life and see 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.280 that relationship fall apart to I don't think they'll ever 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.600 get back to where they were, even once they ever 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:57.760 get back to being cordial. 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:00.000 It came a selle. 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:04.760 Those three women this season were the bigger, biggest storylines 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:09.400 of the show for various different reasons. So you know, 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.280 people are gonna want to see how that works out 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.720 going into this next season, like will all those women 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.919 still be main cast? Will they still be main peach Holders, 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.200 because then you can kind of predict what next season 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.880 will look like and who we will focus on the most. Now, 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.120 I told you guys that that reporting was out earlier 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.840 this week. However, Andy Cohen has come out and said 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.000 that is not true that none of the girls have 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:35.760 received contract offer yet there were also rumors that Shemiah 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.080 was not going to be coming back to the show again. 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.000 Shemiah was like best friends with Porsche when we first 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.920 came to meet and know her, and it's now taken 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:49.200 on her own life on the show. So there were 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.480 rumors that she may, you know, potentially not be returning 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:53.080 back to the show. 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:57.120 And I'm not gonna lie. Like, whenever you hear these rumors. 0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:00.480 From the fan pages, it's like you can't ignore it 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.080 because a lot of the news will leak to the 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:07.200 fan pages, through the girls teams, through production because Real 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.640 Housewives fans are very intertwined with the fan pages and 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.480 the fan cultures around the show. But it's like you 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:14.840 have to you got to pay attention to it, but 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:16.080 you gotta wait. 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:16.960 To get the real information. 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.679 This is a big example that because those stories leaked 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:22.880 and then Andy Cohen came out and said, and I 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.560 have reached out to a source coaster production myself and 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.520 was like, hey, I mean, Shamia had a rough season 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.080 this season, so I could kind of see why she 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.159 wouldn't come back, you know, when she want to protect 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:39.000 their peace. But the more emotional and emotional roller coaster 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.240 the season edge for you that means you got a 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.800 storyline that's working, baby, and that means you right there, 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.479 stay right in that pocket. That's what builds you know, 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.760 the best housewives and reality stars in this type of lane. 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.919 But here's what Andy Cohen had to say on the 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:56.359 fact that Shemiah and there's no there's no truth to 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.040 Shemia not returning as of now. 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.000 There was also, of course that any Leaks maybe returning. 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:04.839 Let's say, a lot of casting rumors online which came 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.760 out over the weekend, and I'm going to tell you 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:11.760 that they're not true. And I am going. 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.919 To tell you that if you want a preview of 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:19.000 next season of Atlanta, look at this cast. 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:25.320 This is the group guys. I mean, uh, spoiler alert. 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.560 We're very happy now. 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.960 I will say that is important to hear because there 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:36.800 was a time where a lot of like, you know, 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:42.120 people were not happy about the cast, like they felt 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.919 like after Nini Leaks left, you know, and then you 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:49.800 had the drama with Kenya Moore where she you know, 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:54.360 allegedly exposed some revenge porn it was, you know, suspended 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.240 from the show and then didn't come back on the show. 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.640 Like all of that stuff, people thought that they were 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.520 losing our main girls, like they were losing their girls 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:02.800 that were going to actually. 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:06.160 Make the show good. Then Portia came back in a 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:07.320 major way on the show. 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.000 We were excited about that because it felt like, you know, 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.400 we had some of her og girls back. Cynthia Bailey, 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:17.360 you know, famous housewife, Elena Boro, house husband, Atlanta. 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:18.239 Housewife, but also model. 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.760 She came back onto the show this season as a 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.400 friend of the show, so she is there, she is present, 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.320 but it allows her to not. 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.840 Fully be in all of the mess of the drama. 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.720 But she's been even doing like some side commentating as 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:32.360 well too, And I think it also just gives her 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:36.360 time to figure things out as well. Like outside of 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.840 the show, I think Cynthia has always been one of 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:40.840 those people on the show who had a lot happening, 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:42.360 Like she was trying to figure out, you know, her 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.200 wine situation, and then she had the Cynthia but a 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.640 Bailey agency, Like she's done very successful businesses. But I 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:50.360 think at this point in her career, I could see 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:51.760 her wanting to be able to have a little bit 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.040 more time to build out those things, build out her 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.760 personal life while also understanding what the platform does for her. 0:07:57.800 --> 0:07:59.480 So she you know, one foot in, one foot a 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:03.440 little bit out, which is great. Now, there was also 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:08.200 rumors about Kelly on the show. Kelly is one of 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.840 the newer housewives that you know, her drew prior to 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.040 Pinky Cole of Sludy Vegan coming on. People were trying 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:18.760 to figure out if they even, you know, really cared 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.080 for Kelly on the show. And I feel like this 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.679 season has really developed for her with her storyline, even 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.560 though she was not able to fill with her children 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.800 this season. There was a lot happening because of her 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:36.560 recent separation from her estranged husband. But I think again, 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.480 I think it gives her a storylines, It gives her 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.440 something to talk about. 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.320 But people thought that she wasn't gonna come back either. 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.120 When those rumors broke a contracts being sent out, people 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:50.120 thought that, you know, there was also gonna you know, 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:55.079 be a goodbye sent to Kelly, non contract sent to Kelly. 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.960 And that is not the case according to you know 0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:59.760 what Bravo sources are putting out there now. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:01.200 Cohen is speaking on. 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:04.520 So I'm looking forward to this reunion, baby, And let 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.640 me tell you guys something, this group of girls, it's 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:09.400 all about the reading. Okay, I don't know if y'all 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.240 are into the reality TV. I wouldn't even say it's 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.199 my guilty pleasure. I don't even feel guilty about loving 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.640 the Housewives and w did they read down? 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:17.880 Okay? 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.120 And when I say read, it's like the comebacks they quick, 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:25.000 they sharp. So the season finale ended with them celebrating 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.720 Kate Michelle, who just released her first ever country album. 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:29.880 She has been in the country music space for some time. 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:32.120 Was told a long time ago she couldn't do a 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.040 country music album because she's a black woman, and there's 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.400 just been so much that it's opened up in country music, 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.440 you know, for people like Kay Michelle because of the 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.240 work that she's put in. Beyonce Mickey gotting mad people 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.000 right in that space. So she got to do that 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.960 on this platform, which is benefit of the platform. It 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.520 elevates everything else that you're doing. But it closes out 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.440 with a party that she has and at the end 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.280 of the party, they're reading each other down. 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:59.880 Okay, let's take a listen. They're lyon. But I'm not lying. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.839 No one's gonna hold her accountable to her life. We 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.320 don't survive with Allen.

Listen. 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.120 I know that the reunion is going to be insane. 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.760 We already know. Pinky Cole of Slaty vegan, who was 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:20.000 recently made headlines for bankruptcy with her businesses and a 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.560 lot of money things are the businesses.

It felt good. 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.040 I don't even want to ever hit a B word again. 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.120 The only BEE word that I want to talk about 0:10:50.200 --> 0:11:01.400 is the fact that I'm having a baby. 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:06.360 How does your mom feel about it? She was mad? Hey, listen, 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:07.720 she said she want to have another one. 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:12.679 I said, no, do in December. 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:16.080 Wow, and I just might name him or her Bravo. 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:21.280 Congratulations. 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:25.040 I'm excited to see this reunion. I don't think we're 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:26.960 going to get receipts from certain things. I know that 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.240 there was like a big blow up between Porsche Williams 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:32.839 and ky Michelle. I don't think we're going to ever 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.040 get the receipts of you know, there was like a 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:40.000 whole oystergate, I will call it a whole plot and 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.240 a plan in ky Michelle's voice that she said that 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.880 was put out and trying to be you know, or 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:49.439 allegedly being executed by Porsche to produce the show or 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.760 produce the storyline around ky Michelle in a certain way, 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.000 which is a reality TV show thing. You know, you 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.000 will have the lead of your show or certain people 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.160 on the show who can work with the story producers 0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:59.760 the build out narrative in the way they need to. 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.600 And ky Michelle is you know, she comes from love 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:04.680 and hip hop, so she's a reality star. Bet she 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:06.959 felt like she was shying, they were trying to swindle her, 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.160 so she that was a huge thing in the beginning 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.000 of this season. But I don't think that we're gonna 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:14.760 actually get receipts of who she alleges told her all 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.200 of that, But hey, you never know. I just haven't 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.440 seen too much about that in the previews yet. But 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:21.400 we shall see because. 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.120 They did exchange words. We know that. Let's take a 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:26.960 listen to ky Michelle in Portia. From the way that 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:28.520 the edit looks ina I have. 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:32.760 Lift not live, I'm so has your body? 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.760 Okay, glory home. 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.800 So we'll just have to stay tuned see what's going on. 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:44.360 So, speaking of storylines, narratives, all the things that come 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.040 with being somebody. 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.800 Of influence, Ariana Grande. 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.319 There was a statement that was released by her team 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.400 confirming that she is going to take a step back 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.880 from the spotlight for an extended break after she finishes 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.239 her Eternal Sunshine towards. 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:05.079 And the reason for that, the rep says, is because 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:05.800 of a lot. 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:09.680 Of the scrutiny that she's been getting surrounding her health 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:10.400 and her body. 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.120 So here's the statement. 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:17.600 After her Eternal Sunshine tour wraps and London on September first, 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:19.600 a singer who is thirty three years old, she's going 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.679 to be stepping away and this is the statement was 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.839 given by Ariana Grande's rep two People magazine, So this 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.719 is from People Magazine. She will be stepping away from 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:32.200 the public eye as scrutiny surrounding her health and body intensifies. 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:37.360 So the rep continues, Ariana will be taking a step 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.079 back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour. 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.079 She looks forward to finishing the tour. 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.720 And ending it on a high note, both healthily and happy, 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:46.800 and then taking a much need to break from public 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.360 facing work and appearances which has led to endless ongrowing 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:53.000 public scrutiny. This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.960 She loves her fans and has loved every minute of 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.760 this tour so much. She performed a very physical show 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:03.640 and there's a lot of athleticism involved. She performs healthily 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:07.240 and successfully at a very high level, night after night. 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.360 So you know, because of this, they say that Arianna 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.440 Grande is no longer going to be appearing in the 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:18.560 West End revival of Stephen Sodom's Sunday in the Park 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:22.000 with George. So she's taking a step back from work 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:26.280 that I was supposed to open at London's Barbican Center 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.120 next summer, and she was going to be doing that 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:33.000 with Jonathan Bailey, who she did Wicked with. They were 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:37.720 he was going to be opposite her. But yeah, so 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:39.360 she's taking a step back, and y'all know what's crazy. 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:42.440 I feel like Ariana Grande and Cynthia or Rivo when 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.600 they were on that Wicked Tour run I knew. I 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.920 I've heard Cynthia Rivo talk about, you know why she 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:54.240 felt like she got so much jokes and means about 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.520 her appearance on that tour. We'll get into that. She 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:59.040 says that it is because she's a black woman, and 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.680 that is the and it particularly it was the moment 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.800 where she jumped in front of this guy who was 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.400 like a fanan who like jumped over like almost like 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.680 barricades at a red carpet to get to Ariana Grande 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.239 and Cynthia a Revo jumped in front of her. 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:14.840 To just make sure she was okay. 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.200 Because Ariana has talked about suffering from like anxiety and 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:18.960 different things. 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:23.600 She's been through a lot. But the crazy part of 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:24.960 that is, I feel like that. 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.840 Time period from them has like changed forever the way 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.200 that they're going to interact with fans in the public. 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:33.920 I mean, we know that Ariana Grande has been through 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:39.520 other things that publicly have you know, really changed the 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.920 way that she interacts with There was the bombing that 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:47.520 took place at the concert that the Ariana Grande concert 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.040 back in twenty seventeen. 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:50.800 There were at least nineteen. 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:54.320 People killed and fifty people injured at the concert in 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:59.240 Manchester in England. I think it's a celebrities have such 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.040 a like you think about something like that, you think 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:05.080 about you know, you're on a red carpet, a man 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.760 is jumping literally jumping over the carpet at you, and 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.680 you're already dealing with a lot of like society societal 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:14.560 like thoughts, pressures, like you're scared all the time because 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:16.360 you don't know who's coming at you for a reason, 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.600 like it is a nerve wrecking thing. 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:20.160 I'm sure at the height that she. 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:25.000 Is dealing with it at But I think celebrities have 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:31.080 such a different experience with fans and supporters nowadays because 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:32.320 of social media as well too. 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.800 I think social media, even if you. 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:39.200 Are Ariana Grande who isn't really accessible, like Ariana Grande 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.520 is not posting YouTube videos every day and on stream 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.240 and giving us her life story all the time, and 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:47.240 you know, like she's still there are some things about 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.080 her that are still very like you know that school 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.440 is celebrity like a Zendea or a Tom Holland is 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.680 in where things are kept to herself. It's very regarded. 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:56.040 You're not just gonna be able to walk up and 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.880 get to her. But at the same time, because of 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:00.680 social media, because of how what you're seeing her on 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.120 your timeline and other celebrities, I think that, you know, 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:08.119 supporters feel like people in celebrities. People celebrities as people 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.360 are very accessible and I think that there's no boundary 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:15.240 anymore of like understanding it, like these are also people too. 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.600 They just have a job that they're doing. But safety 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.080 should matter for them as well too. Boundaries should matter 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:22.320 for them as well too. And I think that it 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:25.800 has changed the dynamic between the fan experience in the 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:27.399 celebrity experience. And I think about I want to go 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.960 see the Michael Jackson movie. I saw the Jackson's Instagram 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.320 posts that they're going to be doing a series all 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:37.480 about Joe Jackson as the Jackson's manager, to which we'll 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.600 watch and we'll talk about here. But I think about 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:42.880 Michael Jackson after watching the Michael Jackson movie and how 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.960 famous he was at that height, like social media was 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.200 not really a thing, you know, there was so much 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:52.400 that hadn't happened yet technology wise, imagine if it had 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.040 how overly personified that would have been. And then you 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.720 have people nowhere near as famous as Michael Jackson, Like 0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:59.560 I don't think anybody will ever be as famous as 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.800 Michael jacks but you do have big celebrities still, it's 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:06.840 very few far in between, because we have Internet personalities who, 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.520 don't get me wrong, are in the celebrity lane. But 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.920 I think the way that they maneuver their lives, they're 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:13.920 way more accessible. They want you to know, way more, 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:15.520 they want you to they want to bring you in 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.080 way more. You have celebrities who don't want to do 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.679 all that, who grow up in a school learning from 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:24.119 Michael Jackson or other big Hollywood names like a Ariana 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:27.800 Grande or Cynthia Rivo, who are just too true creators 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:29.280 who want to put certain things out into the world, 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.879 and the people don't be having it at all, especially 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.119 in this go viral, go home society. 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:37.120 She's done with it. 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:43.920 I just hope that she is in a healthy space, 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:47.960 like physically, and that you know her because it's like 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:51.200 she's taking a step back during a time where people 0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:54.399 are noticing, you know that she is thinner, visibly thinner. 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:57.280 So I just hope that she's taking care of herself. 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:00.600 And I hope that even if she's struggling with how 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.920 to take care of herself while performing at such a 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.560 high level, dealing with you know, all the pressure and 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:07.920 anxiety that come with the job that she has, this 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:11.359 time that she's taking off, she's going to really focus on, 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:15.000 you know, rebuilding her arsenal of tools to. 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:15.640 Be able to do that. 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.520 Because I think a lot of times, like you'll hear 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.520 like Ariana Grandez, because she's such a big celebrity, she's rich, 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:25.679 she's very successful. It's like all right, champagne problems, Like 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:28.320 come on, girl, like you got the career, you got 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:30.359 everything going when you're in some of the biggest movies 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:32.800 of the last like you know, biggest projects of the 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:33.800 last like two three years, you. 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:34.320 Know what I mean. 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:37.400 Like people can look at this and be like complaining, 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:41.560 complaining and complaining. But also the girls had a key 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:44.879 key about all the memes and the viral moments. But 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:47.760
