Speaker 1: we're gonna get on into the latest, and yeah, here

14
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: we go. So first up in the news, this story

15
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: is actually really really sad, and normally I don't like

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: to start on a sad note. But Kelly Clarkson, huge

17
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: name of music. I shouldn't have to explain who Kelly

18
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 1: Clarkson is to you guys, but just in case you've

19
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: been living under a rock, Kelly Clarkson, huge name of music.

20
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: You know.

21
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: More recently, she's been a talk show host on the

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: Kelly Clarkson Show, which has been a big deal, major guests,

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: it's a talk show, it's daily, but there's been some

24
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: absences and I think people may know of her being

25
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,839
Speaker 1: absent from the show over the last couple months because

26
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: it was very rare for her to do. So She's

27
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: been on air for some time and has been very consistent.

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: But this week, tragically, we learned the reason behind all

29
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: of her absences. So a few days ago, it literally

30
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 1: was maybe fourty eight hours ago, Kelly Clarkson, out of

31
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: the blue came out and said, Hey, I have this

32
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: huge Vegas residency starting, but I have to postpone the

33
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: start of it because her ex husband, his name is

34
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: Brandon Blackstock, was sick and she wanted to make sure

35
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: that her kids were good and everybody was good because

36
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: he was dealing with whatever the sickness was. So that

37
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: was the announcement that picked up. Because her residency, as

38
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: any other Vegas residency, is huge deal, fans have been

39
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: waiting for some time for it. But then not even

40
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: twenty four hours later, it was announced via People magazine

41
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: they broke the exclusive that Brandon had passed away. There

42
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: was a family statement actually that was shared. It is

43
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: with great sadness that we shared the news that Brandon

44
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: Blackstock has passed away. Brandon bravely battled cancer for more

45
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded

46
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: by his family. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers,

47
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: and we ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during

48
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: this time. And Brandon was forty eight years old when

49
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: this news broke. You know, I mean, not that it's

50
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: anybody business and that she has to tell or you know,

51
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: talk about things, but I think people were really really

52
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: shocked because she had been holding it together and holding

53
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: it down despite those absences for all of this time,

54
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: and no one knew. So TMZ did a story and

55
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 1: they kind of gave a bit more information. They said

56
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 1: that Blackstone or Brandon was fighting melanoma melanoma cancer, which

57
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: is a serious form of skin cancer. Now TMZ was

58
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: told that Brandon passed away the morning that the announcement

59
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: was made. At the time that they did their story

60
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 1: about twenty four hours ago. It only happened a few

61
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: hours ago on the announcement had just been made as well.

62
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: But what was revealed here was that he had actually

63
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: been fighting Brandon had been fighting the skin cancer for

64
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: three and a half years now. Like I mentioned to

65
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: you guys, Kelly Clarkson had been absent on her show

66
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: here and there, and it became a thing with fans

67
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: because she was never really absent, so people were wondering

68
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: what was going on. People actually thought that she was

69
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: about to announce that she was leaving the show because

70
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: they felt like, Okay, she's not here all the time.

71
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: The enthusiasm around the show is going down, it's not

72
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: as consistent. The Vegas residency is about to start. Maybe

73
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: this is her saying I don't really want to do

74
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: the show anymore, leaning back into music, or just you know,

75
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: living a life that she's been able to provide for herself.

76
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: People can't really figure it out. Then this news broke

77
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: and from what TMC was told by their source, the

78
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: reason why Kelly had been absent all of that time

79
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: was because of the sickness that Brandon was dealing with

80
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: and her having to you know, step in and help

81
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: out and also help out with their kids that they

82
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: share together. Now, another thing that was revealed was that

83
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: the Kelly Clarkson staff knew about this, which is a

84
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: big deal. It shows the respect that the staff actually

85
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: has for Kelly Clarkson, for her ex husband, who also

86
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: was her ex manager at one point. He was her

87
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: manager at one point, no longer was a former manager

88
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: at one point two. Because the staff knew, but out

89
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: of respect for Brandon and for Kelly Clarkson, they minded

90
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: their business and no stories, broke, no anything until all

91
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: of these things happen. And again, this all happened within

92
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: a matter of like twenty four hours, less than forty

93
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: eight hours, So TMC was told. Everybody on the staff

94
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: knew about the illness, but they kept them to themselves

95
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,679
Speaker 1: out of respect for Kelly and Brandon's privacy. Now, Kelly

96
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock met at a rehearsal for the

97
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: Academy of Country Music Awards back in two thousand and six.

98
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: They did start dating until twenty twelve after they reconnected

99
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl, and then they got engaged later

100
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: in the year and were married in twenty thirteen. They

101
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: shared two children together, and Kelly Clarkson and Brandon at

102
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: one point were the reason, or she would say that,

103
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: you know, their relationship and his encouragement was the reason

104
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: that she even started the talk show for a long

105
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: long time. There have been conversations. You know, when Kelly

106
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: Clarkson decided to not do music as much as she was,

107
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: she had been very vocal about trying to figure out

108
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: like what was next for her and you know what

109
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: she wanted to do with all the things. I think

110
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: now we see you know, artists sitting down on podcasts

111
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: and doing these talk shows, and it's normal. But when

112
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: Kelly Clarkson started her show, it was like a breakout thing.

113
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: It was something that was new for somebody in her space.

114
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: It was the ratings were good, still are, But I

115
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: say that to say that he was a huge factor

116
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: in her career, in her life. So not only is

117
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: she losing, you know, the father of her children and

118
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 1: you know, a former colleague or ex manager or however

119
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: you want to title him, but I'm sure she attributes

120
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: a lot of things that she's been able to do

121
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: to him and his support. So want to send some

122
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: love and some prayers to her and just you know,

123
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: talk about like how crazy things can be and how

124
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: unexpected things can happen. Because again, when I saw the announcement,

125
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: I thought, okay, you know, they obviously have a really

126
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: great co parenting relationship. I'd known about the fact that

127
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: they used to work together. He was her manager at

128
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: one point in time, so you know, I thought it

129
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: made sense for her to say, Hey, I need to

130
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: take a step back from my schedule and from work

131
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: and hop in right now because we don't have the

132
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: balance of the co parents in partnership. And then I

133
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: saw the story about his tragic passing and I was like, man,

134
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: I can't imagine how she feels. And then after all

135
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: of this, like it's announced and it's out there and

136
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: it's news. Now you become the topic. And she's used

137
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: to talking about topics, but now you become the topic

138
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: and you have to grieve and figure out life through

139
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: all of that. It was also announced this morning that

140
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: one of Brandon's daughters is actually expecting her second child

141
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: in the midst of all of this too, So just

142
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: in some love to that family, because I mean, just

143
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: thinking and talking about it is very heavy, but imagine

144
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: being in it and being a Kelly Clarkson in the

145
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: midst of all of this. Now switching gears a bit,

146
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,239
Speaker 1: want to head on over to an exclusive that we did.

147
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: It was actually over on Breakfast Club. We did an

148
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: exclusive sit down with Tamar Braxton. She was in La

149
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: it was the BT Awards. We did the media room

150
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: with her and when she came and she sat down.

151
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: First of all, let me just say talk about somebody

152
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: who doesn't hold back. Who she gonna give you. Tamar

153
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: braxtt is going to entertain Okay, She's going to give

154
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: you a conversation worth your money every single time. But

155
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: her energy was so different at the media room. I

156
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: met her at Breakfast Club and when she came on

157
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, she talked about, you know, not even rebranding,

158
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: but just being more aware of what she's saying, how

159
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: she's sang it, how it affects people, and all the things.

160
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: Because Tamar Braxton has a reputation of all of the

161
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: Braxton sisters of being almost like the problem, y'all, like

162
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: the one who is always in the media, who always

163
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: has something going on and you know, all the things

164
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: and all the drama. But now it seems like she

165
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: wants to step away from that and really focus on

166
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: you know, she has shows that she's on, she has

167
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: a cooking show. She's also producing shows as well too.

168
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: Music is there for her as well. She just doesn't

169
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: want that to be the center of the conversation. So

170
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: fast forward to me running into her at the media room.

171
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: This was, you know, a moment because she comes on

172
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: and first thing I can think of is big back Cadillac.

173
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: If you don't know why I throw a big back Cadillac,

174
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: take a listen to Tamar Braxton and her sitting down

175
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: with any Leaks when she's talking about her former co

176
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: host Lonnie Love. I remember talking to Tamar.

177
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 3: I remember talking to you, and you said this to me,

178
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 3: like they had cast it, all of you guys, and

179
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 3: you were like, we're all going out to Diymn. I

180
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: believe all y'all went to like mister Chaw because Vince, Yeah,

181
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 3: y'all all went together to mister Childer kind of like,

182
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 3: you know, just make sure that you guys were friends

183
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: and sisters and you guys had the same vision and

184
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 3: all that you produced her on there.

185
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: As well, I did, wow and creating the show. That's

186
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: why I'm saying I wish she would have told me

187
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: that because I wouldn't have cast a big back Cadillac.

188
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: Grin. I can't stand your laugh, and that's no shame.

189
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 3: So Tamar, big back Cadillac, But how beg it?

190
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 2: So be?

191
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: I don't even know how you respond to that. Somebody

192
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: called me a big back Cadillac. We got a lot

193
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: of problems. Okay, we got big problems. Unpack car problems,

194
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: all right, But I'm gonna say Tamar Her energy about

195
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: this moment when I talked to her was very much

196
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: like Okay, I said it, he hew, but can we

197
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: please move on? She actually apologized, which I didn't expect.

198
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: I expected her to kind of take onus for like,

199
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: maybe that wasn't the right thing to say or the

200
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: right way to describe a person in their figure, But

201
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: I did not expect her to apologize. It was a

202
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: big grown up step for her. Let's take a listen

203
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: to the apology. That is an interview that I'm not

204
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: so proud of because it was a lot of girlfriend

205
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: kitchen talk, you know. Okay, So imagine being at a

206
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: bar with your girlfriend that you haven't seen in a

207
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: long time and y'all have cocktails and y'all just start

208
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: talking about stuff.

209
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: Right.

210
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: That was that interview got you? But yeah, I mean

211
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: not tar. But you know, you when you say something

212
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: to go but I forget, you know, And it's actually

213
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: when I'm in a comfortable setting, you know what I'm saying,

214
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: and then there's cocktails involved, it gets very free flowing. Now,

215
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: this apology went everywhere, circulated everywhere. It was like, you know,

216
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: she had dressed it head on. It was her first

217
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: time addressing addressing it head on, and even then she

218
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: was saying in the interview like I'm gonna go ahead

219
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: and say this, like I'm gonna give you this because

220
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: I want to be done with it once I leave here.

221
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: But it picked up so big she did have to

222
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: talk about it a couple other places. But what I

223
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: realized from that moment in watching her talk about it

224
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: with me and the place that she went to, is

225
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: that Taymar was really trying to grow up like she's

226
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: I mean she's grown, she's grown as hell, so I

227
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: mean grow up in a sense of like mature and

228
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: just you know, watch her words type of thing. But

229
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: Lonnie Love had never responded to this whatsoever. And Lonnie

230
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: Love sat down with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, Baby,

231
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: and if you know Andy Cohen, you know he gonna

232
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: stir a pot or two or three. He tried, but

233
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: Lonnie didn't really give him much let's take a listen, Lonnie,

234
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: want to hear the number one question for you? Oh

235
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: what is it?

236
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: Denzel m said, do you except Tamar's public apology towards

237
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: you and are you interested in having a conversation with

238
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: her to bury the beef? I have no beef. That's

239
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 2: what I want people to understand. There is it's a

240
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: one et sided Yeah, it's like you know, and my

241
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 2: thing is, you know what when all that went down, y'all,

242
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 2: I was in Iceland.

243
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know what was going on, okay.

244
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 2: You know, and so I didn't know anything, and then

245
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: I got all this information and I'm like, you know what.

246
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: People wanted me to respond. I'm like, I never respond Andrew.

247
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: You know me, I never responded this, Oh Andrew, I

248
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 2: used my platform to entertain, inform, and inspire not to

249
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: do beefs. If I was on your show, though, I

250
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: would because I'd be like, oh, yeah, y'all, So.

251
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: I think the beef is done. I think it's over.

252
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, though, because I mean, this has been

253
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: going on for so long. For those of you guys

254
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: who don't know the background, when Tamar Braxton was on

255
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: the Real there was a lot of conversation around her

256
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: departure from the real there were issues that were reported

257
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: between her and the other women, and you know, and Tamar,

258
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: on that sit down in any Leaks, came out and

259
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: talked about what her issue was the fact that, you know,

260
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: she was one of the producers for the show. I

261
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: didn't know that. I had no idea that Tamar was

262
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: even involved that much in the real It seemed like

263
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: they plopped her in just to be the villain or

264
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: the bad guy of the show, and then it seemed

265
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: like that got heavy for her, which I get. Like

266
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: sitting in a space on a show like that people

267
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: watch and they listen to for opinion, anytime a moment

268
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: happens where you have to be the person that like

269
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: you're asking something that people don't want to ask, or

270
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: you're sharing an opinion, or people just sometimes just don't

271
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: like you. It's it's something that you, I think you

272
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: learn how to deal with, but it's not a normal

273
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: thing to have people just throwing comments and opinions and

274
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: all that ass you repeatedly. So imagine being a Tamar Braxton,

275
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, from the legendary Braxton family, who's already had

276
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: this history of like you know, a drama and people

277
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: feeling like she's the issue, and then they put you

278
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: on the show and they narrate you, and they produce

279
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: Shoe as the issue where the villain or the bad

280
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: guy on the show, and then you leave. It looked

281
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: like she kind of couldn't handle the smoke and she

282
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: didn't want to see anymore. But come to find out

283
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: from this conversation with any Leaks that you know, her

284
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: real issue was the way things were happening, not even

285
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: just on camera that was an issue, but behind the

286
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: scenes as well. She poured a lot into that show

287
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: and felt like she wasn't getting much back. And I'm

288
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: not mad at her. I'm not mad at her at

289
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: all for her decisions to step off. But I gave

290
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: you guys all that background because that was so long ago.

291
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: This Lonnie Love Tamart Braxie situation happened so long ago.

292
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: So it's like, I'm so glad that the ladies have

293
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: gotten to a point where they're like, look, I ain't

294
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 1: got no beef. We moving on, you know, we're the

295
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: lemon drop set, Like it's not even that deep anymore.

296
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: But at the same time, one wrong comment, one wrong
