Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wake that ass up in the morning, The Breakfast Club.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Morning, everybody in stevej Envy, Jess hilarious, Charlamagne to God.
We are the Breakfast Club Law, the Rosa filing and
for jests, who's on maternity leave? And we got a
special guest in the building, Eva Moself Welcome back.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Thank you gentlemen, and beautiful lady.

Speaker 4 (00:20):
Hello, how you feeling blessed? Highly favorite, There you go,
bless black and highly favorite. Well, I'm always black.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
This new movie Buried, Alive and Survive.

Speaker 5 (00:30):
First of all, the title is wild and the thing
I love about Lifetime is their titles be right on
the money.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, so this is based on a true story.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Yes, this is part of the Lifetime Ripped from the
Headlines series.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
So it's based on a true story. And it followed
the series that they did about the Missing Black Girls,
which I personally thought was really dope, shedding light on
black stories that you don't hear.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
You hear your Lacy petersons, you hear.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
All these other stories all these years, but our stories,
you don't hear us. And so Lifetime has taken the
charge to really shine light on melanated stories. And so
I play a character Alicia, who is very demure, very
mind but no, she's a young lady who went through

(01:16):
a tumultuous past with her ex, like crazy ex boyfriend,
but she was in love with him, love of her
life from high school. Played by Tyler Lepli, super charming.
And then he goes to jail for fifteen years. He
was domestically violent while we were together, and so he
goes to jail. We have a son, and so all
I'm trying to do is like keep my son safe.
And then he gets out of jail early.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
I really.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
He did eight of fifteen Got You, but for prison overcrowding.
I come home one day, he's sitting in my living
room playing video games with my son, terrifying.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Were you familiar with this story before you did the film.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
Is Grits Groceries. I feel like they offered me this
role because they know that this was my life. When
I read the description, the first thing I thought of
was all the stuff that I know that you went
been through with your daughter's dad. So what that or
is that is Michael? You mean with the yes, the

(02:14):
donor Sorry, I'm not familiar with Okay, it's okay, yeah, No,
he I think he meant just like, are you familiar
with the real life story?

Speaker 6 (02:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:26):
That was.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
My Like when I read it, I'm like, man, like,
was that it for you? Because you went through a
lot publicly with your own situation of you know, protecting
your kid and trying to get away and all that stuff.
So how was that mentally for you? What that thing
hit home?

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Like nobody's business and for me, I like going into
characters like that. I don't know, like on my TV show,
I play like this madam. It was like the head
of a cartel and I'm pimping these guys. I don't
do that in real life, but this I've done in
real life, So this was very different. It was a
cathartic moment for me. I think mental health is very important.

(03:04):
And when I deal with my therapist for some reason,
I'm dealing with my divorce.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
I'm not talking about this. This was ten years ago.
So for the film, it let me tap into something
that I realized that I hadn't all the way dealt with,
but I survived.

Speaker 6 (03:19):
Did you think about not doing it?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Like, did you think about like this might be too
much or it's too close to home, Like maybe I
shouldn't take this part.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
I accept what God allows. I am at a surrender
point in my life. I don't think that anything happens
on accident. I believe in timing. I believe that God
knew that it was time for me to deal with it.

Speaker 6 (03:38):
How difficult was it to tape during this?

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Shout out to Tyler Lepley because he helped me. He
was such a gentleman and so much fun. We made
it light, but I can say it was a bit
a bit difficult. There were those days where it was
just heavy, heavy drama. But then we would go to
lunch at like Chili's and we're shooting out in the
boondocks and I have like Bruce just.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
All over my face.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
His clothes are all cut up and ripped, and we're
walking in like it can Tina like, yeah, so can I.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Get a cheeseburger and a margarita. People thought we were
absolutely crazy, like absolutely crazy.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
So when you say you didn't deal with it, you
just you just suppressed it.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
I got my daughter and I moved on in life.
I didn't have I didn't think I had time to
dwell in the hurt of things and the effect of things.
I had to plant new seeds so that I can
work on my new harvest by my daughter.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
So that's the worst kind of trauma, the trauma.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
That you know you have, but for whatever reason, you
don't acknowledge it, so you think it's not there, and
then you get something that triggers you and you're.

Speaker 6 (04:42):
Like, what was that?

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yes, And it's not that I didn't acknowledge it, right,
It's one of those things that when it happened, TMZ
got it, it was all over the news. I'm one
of those women where I have lived black men. I
have three brothers, no sisters, an amazing black father, and
a multitude of uncles. So what I don't want to
do is make one situation every black man situation. So

(05:06):
for me with my platform, I chose not to go
on this big rampage about the situation, how it failed,
what he did all that. That's just that's not my styles,
not how I get down. You know, Benja does mind
say at the lord. So I didn't say much about
what happened outside of what court documents said. And for

(05:26):
my daughter's sake, I don't want to live it every day.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
You know.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
I married an amazing man who took care of her
and had more kids with him, And so for me,
it was.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
Like, you know, which is Michael who we saw you
on the show with and all that stuff, and well too,
do you like? Do you ever? Because I know in
this movie your character has a kid in the middle
of this and she has to have conversations. Did this
make you think about having conversations with the Marley at all?
Or absolutely?

Speaker 3 (05:54):
It reminds me of the conversations that you have to have.
Like there's that time of innocence that gets taken away
from a child, but as a parent, you don't want
that to happen, Like you want to hold on to
that innocence as long as you can. You don't want
them to know black and white.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
You don't want them to understand like discrimination.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
So the last thing I wanted her to do was
try to, as a ten year old girl, process these
adult choices that I mean, to be quite frank, I
don't even think he could process what he did, let
alone her understand it.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
Right. So it's not a conversation you want to have,
but it's a conversation you have to have. And I
had the conversation with.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
My daughter, which was difficult, but shout out to Mike Sterling.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
He helped me. It was beautiful.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
And so when I in the film, when I had
to have the conversation, it hit home yet again because
I remember having.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
To explain, like, your dad is not what you think
he is.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
You know, what was your mental and emotional health?

Speaker 5 (06:56):
Like after the film was done, I know those conversations
with the therapists changed.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
You know.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
It's so crazy because I had to apologize. I was
just saying earlier, I have to apologize to a friend
of mine. I feel like I was not myself for
a smooth month or month and a half afterward, because
I just kind of to know me.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
It's no, I'm bold, I'm proud.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
I'm not necessarily loud, but I live unapologetically. But I
went back into like the meek, like tiptoe around, like
I don't want to get it wrong.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
And my friend was like, yo, are you Is everything okay?
And I realized, like, oh my gosh, I'm still Alicia.
I'm not either right now.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
I am still that woman that is trying to make
sure everything's good. All the doors are locked, my guns
are you know loaded?

Speaker 4 (07:40):
Ready to go? Like sys you're good, go to church
on Sunday.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
So yeah, it took me a minute to get out
of it because it was real.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
I love a golf hearing, gun toting woman.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Oh you got to give yourself some time, a brief
because you went through so much and then this movie
rehashes everything and you've got to publicly right, like your
divorced situation was very public as well too. You guys
were on the show like you've lived out loud literally
for a long time, and then you get in this
role of this character who people are like, wait did
she write this? Because this was right so right on point.

(08:11):
I know you mentioned Mike Serling, and I know that
there have been conversations about the divorce and some of
the things that you were going through, and you talked
about the weight loss. Where are you guys at now,
Like is that a good?

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (08:20):
So much better? You know, anybody that's been a part
of the divorce club knows that it's a it's a process.
My parents have been married for forty two years, his
parents fifty two years.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
All my aunts and uncles married. I'm the only person
my my brothers are married. I'm the only person in
my family divorce. So this is like for my for
my family, it's different.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
And so it was not like I had someone to
go to like what is life like after divorce?

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Because you know a lot of times family only see
it one way, like you stay together regardless.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
Were they supportive when you decided to get a divorce.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
They were supportive. My brothers were like, what's up?

Speaker 1 (08:58):
What's fop?

Speaker 4 (08:58):
And you know, I'm like, that's everybody.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
I am middle, middle because I have a little brother
and two older two older brothers. My baby brother is
like six seven though, so that's my little brother.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
So they're like, what's going on.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
You didn't say anything about the last situation. We're not
doing that mute stuff again. I'm like, everything's good, it's good.
We're just gonna figure this out.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
Now.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
It's been a year. Communication is great. Took him out
on Father's Day able to see like, you know, he's
a lawyer, so one's.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
Cases he has.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
It's a big case in Atlanta that it looks like
it's going really really well. I'm always going to support him, mom.
I mean, he's the father of my children and it's
the man that I love. Like it's just it that
will never change. And anyone that says otherwise like I
was married, but I hate him.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
Now you're lying to yourself. Sis, you are lying to yourself.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Because the door ever open to Maybe I was asking.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
Watch Buried Alive. It comes out on September on Lifetime.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
Why would your son in the movie Malcolm just randomly
let some man and he.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
Never met though, because it's his daddy.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
That's all it takes. That's the password.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
So I imagine longing your whole life to know your father.
And I never told him that his father was a
bad guy. I just said that his dad went away.
He had to go away, he chose to leave. And
so now he's like fourteen years old, and I'm oh,
I'm an overprotective helicopter mom, like answer.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Your phone, where are you at? Let me know?

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Turn your because location through because of what I've went through.
And he doesn't understand it. So he just like, mom, chill,
like I promised if my dad was here.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
He wouldn't be doing all this.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
I'm like, little, do you know if your dad was here,
life would be very different? But but yeah, he just
he it's a kid who wants to know his dad.
I mean, any imagine going up without a mom and
then finding out that's your mom, Like, you just want
to know her.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
All the other stuff we'll figure out later.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
So it was just the innocence of a boy wanting
to know the man that he would become.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
You know, Are you that overprotective in real life?

Speaker 5 (11:09):
You even try to put a tracker on your son's
sneakers in the movie.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Are you that overprotective?

Speaker 3 (11:14):
I am protective in real life, but I'm blessed to
have an amazing father figure for my kids. So when
it comes to the co parenting part, and then Mike
is ilegal too, so I'm like, hooflying in town? Do
we need to call the mayor with the governor?

Speaker 1 (11:29):
You know?

Speaker 4 (11:30):
So we have a few connections, but we are Yeah,
I'm very protective.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
I asked everybody this question that's parents. Are you raising
your child out of fear our love? Because in the
movie definitely raising them out of fear?

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Oh, in the movie straight out of fear. I raised
my kids out of love. I raised my kids. I
appreciate what my parents went through in life and what
they gave me and my brothers, but I also acknowledge
what I could do better when it comes to being
a parent. In twenty twenty four. My parents had me
in nineteen eighty four, forty years ago, so life was different,

(12:03):
you know what I mean this being the reality. I
want my kids to know that they can do whatever
they want to. My youngest loves Frozen and little Boy,
he loves Frozen, and I will buy him a frozen
little house. I'm not putting those stereotypes on him. I
don't put my kids in a box. My daughter, she
likes boxing. She also likes cheerleading, you know, like, do

(12:25):
whatever you want to do, just be good, be a
good person. My model is, do you just make sure
it doesn't hurt anybody else, do whatever you want to do,
just be kind.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
I think that's great, that's one hundred percent great.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
I was it working with Tyler because I know, you know,
he's a dad. Now. Yeah, in place, it's like horrible father,
you know, but like that's not what he gives in
real life. So will you guys conversations around him channeling
like horrible abusive dad.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
Tyler was shout out to Tyler, He's so dope, He's
so dope. I'd worked with him behind the scenes. I'm
starting to direct, so I worked at him on another project.
So I was a little familiar with him, which was
nice because you know, the man about to choke you
out in the movie the next ten minutes, you might
want to know him just a little bit, right, So
I had the privilege of knowing him just a little bit.

(13:14):
But he was so charming, so charismatic, and very respectful.
Because the subject matter was so heavy, He's like, is
this too hard? I'm like, no, go there, because if
you don't yank me, I'm gonna yank you like I'm
strong and if I'm trying to get out, I'm getting away.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
So we yanked me. Let's do this. So noo, he
is not too much. And then when I told him, yeah,
I was that, okay, bring that down fifty percent. But yeah, Tyler,
he he.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Was amazing and being a father, the way in which
he dealt with our son and the film I thought
was beautiful.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
You can tell that he's a dad. There is a
softness to him. But then there was that I just
got out of jail and I'm gonna get mine and
his ability to kind of flip back and forth was
was really dope.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
Did you talk to the the in the movie, her
name is Alisa. I don't know if that's her name
in real life, did you speak to her at all?

Speaker 3 (14:10):
No, I didn't speak to the person that has happened
to But this story is not as actually a story
of something that's happened in Seattle, one has happened in China,
like this is worked from the headlines of a real
life story. So they were like in real life buried
and in real life climbed ourselves. And that's why I

(14:31):
love Lifetime for doing this, because it lets you know
that things can go beyond your wildest dreams and your
wildest imagination. And to be a mom, to be a sister,
just like when it comes to safety and who you're with,
and just everybody doesn't have it all there right, so
make sure you're safe, make sure you know what's going
on and if you even have an inkling those red flags,

(14:54):
which is Alicia's downfall, which to me are a lot
of women and men's downfall. When it comes to dating,
you fall in love before you really get to know
the person you fall and like, and then you fall
in love and infatuation and then the real person presents themselves.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
What is it? The idea of having a man is
dick like, what is it that makes.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
Be a mixture. I was going to say it's a concophony.
It's all of those things. I think it's timing.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
If you think about it's eight billion plus people in
this world. The fact that you and I were able
to meet at this time for whatever reason. For me,
the romantic in me, I feel like it's cosmic. I
feel like there's a reason that we've met, for some reason,
whatever it is. And so if there's a physical attraction,
people can lie.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
But as a woman, you know, in the first thirty
to sixty seconds, if you know, if you would, I
ask that that was very girl math. We felt what
they were because he'd be given Charlene sometimes, so he'd
be knowing.

Speaker 6 (16:05):
You do that about the dick?

Speaker 1 (16:06):
You did?

Speaker 6 (16:07):
So what okay, first.

Speaker 5 (16:09):
Of all, say that was some context, the context that
will look crazy online.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
You did. That's about the dicks?

Speaker 4 (16:17):
Got you to assume that every woman is having sex
with the people that they're dating.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Like That's one thing that I've learned now being divorced
is that I guess, like we date, we go and
have food, so like h three days and sex time
Like who said that?

Speaker 5 (16:36):
That's why it sucks for women in the spotlight, like
like regardless of you could be seen with Tyler and
whoeverl whoever else they're dating all of them.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Yeah, my best friend, that's why he doesn't want to
be on camera. And it's two left shoes and okay,
straight up bars, my brother can't.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
That's not you saying.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
It ain't nothing right, spaghetti Jesus, there we go. But
where are you get what I'm just saying?

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Country, And I heard none of the spaghetti.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
Spaghetti is not straight.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
No more wiggle.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
Yes you know what I'm saying. Yes, I got you.
I heard you.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
You will hear me say that one. I'm telling you
that right? So how is your shut up no existing?

Speaker 6 (17:34):
My Lord Mercy.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
You would think it would be easy. The d ms.
My friend Lareel taught me how to look in the
d ms.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Those are terrifying because it's like somebody's husband and their
son are both in the d MS, and then their
pastor Jesus, and then they are women and then there
it's like everybody just calm down.

Speaker 6 (17:58):
So how how can somebody meet you like that's my
I don't even know you go out?

Speaker 4 (18:02):
Why?

Speaker 6 (18:02):
No, it has to be if you don't go out.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
I mean you might do casual like drinks and stuff
like that, like yes, well did you really get to
meet somebody like and then where else because you don't
want to meet them in the club. Well I don't
do those yeah, Like but I mean like I've been
I've been like out food, drinks or whatever, and like
I've seen you there and those are nice places where
like if someone's there, they send you, but.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Not in America, like if we're like in Italy or something,
because they don't know who you are.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
There's no pretend.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
It's just like the like the pretty girl over there
with the pink shirt on, you know what I mean,
versus like all that's either I've had someone say like, yo,
I'm gonna date you because I'm a date up.

Speaker 6 (18:38):
I'm like, whoa, that didn't work at all.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
I guess that's a compliment though.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
I mean it's a compliment, but it also was like
I'm dating down.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
Sorry, makes me feel like what you know what I mean,
nothing's genuine and so it's difficult. That's why when you
ask you do you leave the door open? It's it's
like who who At my age turn forty in October,
it's really going to get to know the real me
having been in TV and film for twenty year.

Speaker 6 (19:06):
Would you date in the industry?

Speaker 1 (19:07):
You can only date in the industry.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
That is terrifying. I do not want to date in
this unless she said, like she goes out of the
country right now, Yes, because they're going to end up
being interviewed by Charlemagne and be like, so, what's popping
with you?

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Exactly?

Speaker 4 (19:19):
Nah?

Speaker 1 (19:20):
So listen, would you date the bus driver?

Speaker 4 (19:22):
I would if you own a bus company.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
What if he's a good man? Oh, yes for me,
good man for me. I am not about the money.
I'm not about the coin. What I'm about is you
seeing me. I don't feel like I have been seen
in a long time.

Speaker 6 (19:39):
What do you mean being seen? Like married for a while.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yes, but see the person, not the clothes or the
job or the title. I had someone the other day
tell me, you know, my job is who I am?

Speaker 4 (19:52):
I'm like, whoa bro? That's sad.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
That's sad.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
That's because your job can change any day, and then
then who are you?

Speaker 4 (19:58):
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Feel like I have so many titles and multi hyphenant.
Thank God, so blessed, so much gratitude but with that,
it's still a little girl inside of here from south
central Los Angeles that want to grip walk to They
not like us, you know what I'm saying, Like they're
still that girl and who wants to tap into like
the person inside of me, not the facade.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
Around me, you know what I mean. The smoking mirrors
the titles.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
As with doctor Wayne W.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
Dye used to say, used to say, the stuff you
own is not you know what you do, your job,
you know your activate, that's not who you not.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
But in today's society, especially with these young men and
women doing so well professionally, it becomes them, you know
what I mean, twenty eight to thirty five year old
black men, black women out here, we're millionaires. We're figuring
out how to get to the bag. Own our own companies,
you know, leverage business deals with other companies, not like

(20:55):
it used to be. And so with that I think
comes a lot of ego.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
I think the sad thing is I think if somebody
is trying to date you, I think they probably will
first show up with.

Speaker 6 (21:04):
Their check right.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
They want to show that they can afford you, which
is hold them the opposite of what.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
You what I want.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
So they show me the money, so then you don't
want that. So then it's like the male ego ends
up getting frustrated because it's like, what can.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
I do for you? And you got kids, you.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Don't you don't need a husband, and you don't need
to pay me to pay your mortgage.

Speaker 4 (21:22):
You have multiple cars, you go, you have a job. Okay.
From there, you're trying to figure out like that causes
conversation a lot of my I have a lot of
girlfriends who are at that point, they're like, what am
I doing wrong? When it's like you're not doing anything
but being here my therapist. But see, but I help
my question. A lot of us get there because at
that point, you do feel like me and I'm gonna
never find somebody what am I doing wrong? And I

(21:43):
don't think that people should. I don't feel like that.
I don't think that people should feel that way. I
think you need to track what you want. Somebody that's
strong enough to handle all that will come and we'll
figure it out.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Well, baby, God better get to get to build them,
because I've found some very strong ones. But it I
still intimidate them.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
It happens them.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
What's what's wrong if you find some strong men that
seems like they're powerful, they have the intellect.

Speaker 6 (22:04):
What's the problem.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
Well, for what, I'm not finding anything. I will be found.
I am not.

Speaker 6 (22:08):
You just said you found them.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
I saw that's come across. But there's there's still still
insecurities there. There's still that, you know, when I'm not there,
what's going on?

Speaker 6 (22:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Maybe you did your eye twink like that for that person.
Like it's just it's always it's a thing, so it's
non existent.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
I go to church on Sundays and I'm in town.
Besides that, I'm out of.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
The country or traveling, or with my kids when I
have them, or working.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
That's my life.

Speaker 5 (22:38):
I wonder if Instagram makes men more more show off
than anything. But you know, when you grow up broke,
all you got is yourself, right, so you gotta be smart,
you gotta be funny, you got to present all of
these other things.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
I wonder if character.

Speaker 5 (22:52):
I wonder if now because the Instagram people feel like
all I gotta do is just show, show, show, show show,
and that's how I get. But then that's why y'all
are well, not Lauren, but's why you're in a position.

Speaker 6 (23:00):
You're in Damn you know what I mean? I did
that to Lauren like that.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Well, Lauren's single for a whole host of other reasons,
even that.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
You don't know my life.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
First lobby, I'm sure you're single by choice, thank you.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
That's the first.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
That's not what her mama say. Damn, mama said something else.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
My mom did say nothing about that. Your mama son,
my mom, and my mom wants me to be happy
wherever I'm going to be happy. And she understands that
I give it up. She knows she hasn't. She understands
that I am at a point where I need what
we talked about, like, I need somebody that can really
like handle things and carry me the way that I
need to do.

Speaker 6 (23:31):
I think she's ready to settle down.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
Oh do you mind me asking thirty two? I'll girl,
you better play.

Speaker 6 (23:36):
That's what she's doing.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
You bet these thirties, I have my first kid around
that time, I have three. Now I'll turn forty this year.
Enjoy these thirties.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Twenties, you were just figuring out your feminine hygiene properly, thirties.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
That is true. It's very true.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
You're getting your pH B once together, you figuring it
out like what worked for me.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Learn how to shave?

Speaker 4 (23:59):
Yeah, do all a wax l a, whoa wow. He
also be telling people I don't shave my underarms. He
doesn't shave her under I shave my under You don't
have to. You don't have to shave any parts of
your body if you want to. Some people men like
wanm bat.

Speaker 6 (24:25):
Little white balls on here.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
Sometimes I hate when the men have that style I
did not have that They're lying. They're like, they're literally
sitting here and lying to you. Huh see, don't know
saving I'll be waxing. I'm grown as hell. He's just
like a troll. Look, this is what we call a hater.
This is what he enjoys.

Speaker 5 (24:45):
Oh, but I do want guys to learn how to,
like you said, present with characters.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yes, I really do.

Speaker 4 (24:49):
I do too. I do too, but you know they're
not there yet. It's come up season.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
So I'm gonna give my brothers their flowers because I
see so many black men in different position making better decisions,
running their businesses and doing their things. And so if
that means I'm gonna have I tell one of my friends,
go out your Marcus Grand moment like go live in
the city and soho and get your little house at
like live your life. I want my boys to do that.

(25:16):
I want my boys to live. I don't want them
to settle down until they are ready and they found
the one. Because divorce is hard, heartbreak is real, and
when you've ever truly loved someone, you will never stop.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Seems like insecurities is the biggest thing, right because you
are a star. So when whoever your dat and sees
you with other people, it feels like they would have
to feel a way, right, So it was the thing
and it's.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
Not a thing. But they are grown. But it's just
like if.

Speaker 6 (25:41):
They have those type of insecurities or they don't trust them.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
How they haven't done the work.

Speaker 5 (25:44):
That's why I know so many women who not date
a guy who is not going to therapy. Even when
you look at this movie, this dude clearly had some
unhealed trauma that he didn't deal with before you went in,
and he damn sure didn't deal with it while he
was in.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
No, he just came home projecting on everybody.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
But no, he actually, when you watch the movie Be
Buried Alive and Survived, he actually did do some therapy
and you'll see that it's about application. To me, life
is about three things. It's about living, it's about learning,
and it's about applying. So you live, you learn from
whatever it is you did bad, and then you apply

(26:20):
whatever that lesson is.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
And so you could know what to do. You just
gotta do what you're supposed to do. You know, you're
supposed to flash your teeth twice a day, three times
a day. But do you that's the question, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 3 (26:32):
So I think a lot of times we just you know,
we take the easy way out, and because we're grown,
we use the fact that, like I'm growing, I gonna
do whatever I want to do, versus being disciplined and
doing what you're supposed to do and need to do.

Speaker 4 (26:42):
So, what do you want people to take from this movie? Like, oh,
go cha?

Speaker 3 (26:46):
I want people to take from this movie men and
women that are going through any sense of struggle, that
feel like they are at the bottom of the mountain
or trapped in their box of whatever it is in
their career and their relationships, specifically domestic violence. But whatever
it is you think that you can't get out of,

(27:07):
that is a lie from the pit of hell. Fear
is real, but it is nothing but a thought. It
is in your mind. It is not a It is
not a real thing. So if you can fight through
your fear, I will tell you to climb out of
your box.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
Do what you have to.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
If you have no fingernails after you scrape through it,
it doesn't matter. Climb up, keep clawing. You have to
close your eyes because that dirt is getting in there.
It doesn't matter. You have to cry your way up,
climb out of your box. By the time you look up,
you will be at the top of your mountain. That
is what I want you to know.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Were you in a box for real?

Speaker 4 (27:40):
Dead ass?

Speaker 1 (27:42):
They put you in an actual coffee I was.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
An actual shipping crate, nailed shut, oh god.

Speaker 4 (27:49):
But because he was.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
Burying me a lot, killing me and they couldn't have magnets. No,
it was real like that. And I know an actor,
and I know it's not real. But there's something of
out that moment, being in there and imagining.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
Because it is writ from the headline. So it's imagining
this real woman being put in a box by a
man that she has loved for all these years. And
not only that, but I have a fourteen year old
son out here to take care of that. As a
young king in this world that has nobody but me,
I can't stay in this box. But yes, I was

(28:23):
completely nailed into a box and terrified.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
My boy Rob had to say, all right, cut cut, cut,
let her out, let her out.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
Let her breathe. He was scared for me.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Wow, are you prohobic anyway? Now?

Speaker 4 (28:34):
I am. I don't want to be in a box,
you know, yeah, don't want it get trapped.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Wow. Did anybody apologize to you?

Speaker 5 (28:42):
Because I remember when the pictures came out and you know,
you had looked like you lost a lot of weight,
and then you told everybody it was a lot of
well I know, but you told everybody was because of
your impression of your dook. Did anybody apologize to you
because of that? You know, people jumped conclusions when they
see the pictures.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
No, everybody just said I had all kinds of diseases
and stuff, line and talk dirty. I was afraid to
come in here today because I was wondering, like, I'm
just me.

Speaker 4 (29:06):
You have good days and people have bad days. But
I've met you first time fifteen years.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Ago, and I was this size, so I know that
I did house, I was pregnant.

Speaker 6 (29:16):
Pink tea cup. All of us were there.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
I remember remember because you said something nice to me,
and I'm not used to compliments.

Speaker 6 (29:25):
Charadn't know what to say, started studying yours.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
I wasn't nobody.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
Yeah, You've always been somebody, even if you knew it
or not.

Speaker 6 (29:32):
You were like a person than you did on camera.
And he started stuttering. He started.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Because okay, because at that time, you were on radio
most of the time, and I think Brothers Club had.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Like just startays, so we were just able to.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Like get a face to the voice, and a lot
of time old school radio, you remember, like Brandy, nobody
knew that THEO was Asian, Like when.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
He came out, we were all so surprised that. Yeah,
so a lot of times you have no idea.

Speaker 6 (30:05):
And I was like, okay, Charlae, man, he was stuttering.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
We hadn't eve done the Broke slovel year done six months.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
I just met.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
I just saw the voice to the face and I
was like, okay.

Speaker 6 (30:17):
You at that point I thought you were blond. I
thought you were blind at that point, what a man, what.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
Are you trying to say that Charla Mane is not attractive.

Speaker 6 (30:25):
Envy you do Charlemagne think he looks like Mars.

Speaker 5 (30:27):
No, Mark Justna thinks Charlamage, you know he does. Mar
just was on Jennif hutch And show when he says
he gets mistaken from me. He said, goddamn, I'm just
telling you what he said.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
Because Stevie Wonder was the one.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
I don't know he said that. I don't know, I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
He said that you guys are both handsome, beautiful black
man like you, but you do have you have this
in the mouth. I can see a little bit. Thank
a little bit you squint.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
A little bit, I said, Squint, I.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
Think have more stuff for you. I have one more
question because I'm a fan of you on Housewives, and
no you're not on the show. Would you ever so
never again, never ever again? All the Queen's men, baby,
all the queens. Okay, gotcha? The season four is gonna
drop after Buried Alive, Okay, yeah, it's no Housewives question.

(31:21):
You can have Housewise questions. I'm I just wanted to
know your thoughts on the Kenya suspension and all that.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
That's my girl, that is my girl. I have a baby,
grand in my son room because of her. Her daughter
is my niece, Brookie.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
I love her.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
I don't know honestly enough about the situation to speak
on it.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
What I do know is that the show is no
holds bars, and I don't know when bars started getting held.
That's why I wanted to ask you, because I feel
like during your season it was like you were part
of the last good seasons before they got rid of
some people. And then I thought that this was going
to bring all of that back. And now they're like, oh, no,
you can't be on the show anymore because you're doing
what we know the show to be. So I don't know.

(32:02):
I don't even know what really happened. I don't has
it air yet. No, it has did that. I don't
even know it. Didn't know it has. It just became chattering.
It's so big. It felt like this show should happen
right after that. It's so does.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Kenny Moore has a new hair salon in Atlanta. She's
out there helping trusses and helping people grow their hair.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
Her hair Caroline is doing amazing.

Speaker 6 (32:24):
Spoke about it.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Yeah, that's my girl. So I don't really know what
happened with the situation. I think Housewives lost a real
one without.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
Kenya, because Kenya is one to definitely speak her mind.
She is very pro black.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
She's an amazing, amazing mom. I feel like that's one
thing that they do not shed enough light on. She
is a crazy dope mom. Like I tell her to
bring her daughter to my house and then she comes
and she stays, I'm like no.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
You go like she's like one of those moms like
we here together, No right, And she's like no, I'm
just gonna chill.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
Like she's like she's she's such a beautiful woman, you know,
but as a black woman, and you know, strength is
a requirement, especially a black women in America. So she
wears her armor all day every day and she does
what the show called for. And so I don't know
what happened, but I know that she will always land.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
On her feet.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
I know that she God has her and has a
story written for her. So I wish her the best.
And if I didn't have blocks, and I would go
get my hair done by her.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Well, what do you think Housewives need to do the rebrand?
Because you know Candy left, Kenny's not there anymore. What
do you think the Housewives.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
And Kenny's not there is she?

Speaker 6 (33:28):
What do you think they need to do to rebrand?

Speaker 4 (33:30):
Bring candy, Candy, burst, Tucker.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
That's the whole new cast. So you think just bring
the original crew back?

Speaker 4 (33:38):
You know what, it doesn't matter. Black influences everything. So
as long as you bring black.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
Entrepreneurs and inspiring creatives on the show, I think you'll
see some magic.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
I saw Niini just made her like first return back
to just the network in general. I love that for her.
Do you so being in that Willlhouse of NBC and
all that stuff? Uni? Yeah, Like do you think that
does that mean that there's a chance for her to
get back closer get on Housewives? Or do you think
that that's like completely done as well?

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Too late?

Speaker 4 (34:09):
Because we were so excited when we saw it.

Speaker 6 (34:11):
I don't even know.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
I mean, I have no clues even if she even
wants to do it, gotcha, But I'm excited about her
new shell. I did see a club on Instagram she
had yeah on hair, my homegroun pair beat her face.
