Starting point is 00:06:26 The front is giving the clubs. But I walked through the lobby and everybody was looking at me and then I noticed it was dark and raining and I was like, oh, I had my blinds closed because this morning I woke up and I saw like three people fucking. I have like just an eye shot to the hotel. She's living my dream. Yeah, I shot to the hotel. She's living my dream.

Starting point is 00:07:57 Totally into dads. Okay, because I was going to say, Luke Bryan is like total dad. I know. I didn't know much about country. dad. I know. I, when I went, I didn't know much about country. I was, I was, I'm like, you know, I grew up in R and B rap pot on a R and a rap label boy as a pop artist, pop and R and B artist. Yeah. So like country came later for me in life. I didn't grow up on it. And my girlfriends all listened to country and they were like, you have to come to Coachella cause I'm from the desert. I mean, not sorry. Uh, stage coach coach. And and I was like I'm not going to stagecoach I just did
Starting point is 00:08:28 Coachella and they're like no it's the vibes are so different and I went and I was like oh my god no one's on Molly pushing me like drugged up fucking in a corner mosh pitting and all the lyrics aren't stand your ass up pop that booty bitch this that and the other like negative toward women like the guys were up there singing about heartbreak and maybe at the end they took off their shirt and they were beautiful and everybody put their beers in the air and it was a good life and i was like oh this is a vibe so aubrey needs a country boy i might i might who can we hook her up with in the crew anybody anybody worth it not the crew all Anybody? Anybody worth it? Not the crew. All right,
Starting point is 00:09:05 fuck. We'll figure it. Chase Rice. Wait, does he still have his wife? Oh, shut up. He's the only one I remember. I mean, I remember, you know, I liked a lot of them, but when he got on stage, I was like, okay, we're getting, I'm going to call my manager and get a backstage pass right quick. We need to roll by his trailer. And then we rolled by the trailer and then I saw the wife and I think there were even kids and I was like, oh, I got to respect this situation. But God damn, he is so fine.
Starting point is 00:09:34 He took off his shirt. He was playing the guitar. I love that. What about Brantley Gilbert? Brantley has a wife too, but he's beautiful. I have to see him. I don't know him. No, he's having a baby with Haley. They're all married, but I mean,
Starting point is 00:09:47 they're beautiful to look at. I don't know about come up one that I could grab because I feel like me, I feel like I'm a country wife. I feel like me and you, I love that we could get a little group of us together and do our own housewives, but country wives. I actually already have, I, I own the synopsis for that. Um, it's called outlaw wives and I've been wanting to do it for the longest time okay well can I be like you know how some of the housewives don't really have a husband anymore but they're on the fucking show yeah just can I be one of those yeah girl I would cast you in a heartbeat because you would be so much fucking fun dude I don't know about Luke Bryan though you know like I think I mean I don't know him as a person I've never watched interviews
Starting point is 00:10:23 I don't know if he's a good guy no he is he is he's been so good to my husband he's such a sweetheart but I like if you don't have tattoos I can't look at you I like if you don't if you don't have a felony and a tattoo somewhere even a tramp stamp I'll take it you know you fucking you do you like you're more of a rebel in that way than me yeah you play on a little bit more dangerous planks than I do most of my scandals were with like same type of high profile situations but more of the cleanup cleanup boys yeah and we're gonna we're gonna dive into those for sure because you know we frat boys not the like dangerous boys I think it's because I was not really pretty like I wasn't one of the pretty girls growing up I wasn't popular you were so beautiful though but as a child I just wasn't in that role Diddy like kind of groomed me
Starting point is 00:11:10 throughout that process to be that person but prior to that I never really I did definitely didn't feel that inside but I didn't also I don't feel externally I was that I definitely wasn't popular I didn't really have, you know, was not part of the group of girls that were like running around wild with all the boys and drinking. And I was like at home. I think the craziest I was, as I was listening to some of your podcasts, I was thinking of my childhood, like, were there deviant sides of me that I could recognize? Because I was literally just such a worker. I like to excel. I like to be the best. Were you good in school?
Starting point is 00:11:46 Yeah, always. Number one, first in class. I skipped a grade. I was a year behind and skipped a grade. I was always two years younger than everybody. Wow. And just very into creating. I would go to like the music theater,
Starting point is 00:12:01 like the creation studios where you do like musical theater productions and stuff and where I lived in Palm Springs I would be with like 80 year old drag drag queens and gays and theater and music and that's where I like lived until I went home and then I was thinking at home my mom was always drunk and you know a lot of darkness and stuff like that but i was i had a thought in my head that i used to watch g-string divas did you ever i loved g-string divas real sex like fucking the cat house taxi cab confessions too also yes yeah they need to bring that back i actually thought of a concept for that one yeah but we're both producers we're
Starting point is 00:12:40 gonna be shouting out we're giving the whole fucking world all their next ideas because tv is so whack right now i'm telling it is really whack right now no it's crazy i'm like i'm gonna have to just jump in the production seat and start giving y'all ideas why don't you i do i have i'm i'm a producer on a project i'm working on now and yeah i'll continue you kind of have i don't come with the same resume as people who have been in the game on the back. I've been on the front end doing it. Yeah, I get it. But I've been told by every production I've ever been on, you're great on TV, but you really are meant to be like behind the camera.
Starting point is 00:13:12 You just like run circles in these productions. I used to be able. It's because your mind, because you like to multitask and you, and that's how I am. I hate being in front of the camera. People don't realize that. And I hate it. I don't like it. I heard you say you didn't like red carpets. I hate red carpets too. I do too, bitch. And I feel the same front of the camera. People don't realize that. And I hate it. I don't like it. I heard you say you didn't like red carpets.
Starting point is 00:13:26 I hate red carpets too. I do too, bitch. And I feel the same way as you do. You go work so hard. Get those pictures back. Getty and wire need to be burnt away. That's why I have made friends with photographers. Shout out Taylor Hill.
Starting point is 00:13:37 He'll shout out. Shout out Taylor. Yeah. Who's our other guy too. Don't play in fucking games. Dude, they always get the best angles. I'm telling you you have to make friends with the photographers because once they love you they go out of their
Starting point is 00:13:48 way to make sure that you look good on the carpets but you're just like me like we our mind is going a mile a minute so when we are behind the scenes and we're working we're technically like we feel better about ourselves when we're workhorses yeah that does stem from, you know, our childhood, because I don't know about you yet, but you know, my childhood was kind of rough too. I heard you say that your mom was an alcoholic, but I never hear you talk about, wow. I never hear you talk about your dad. Was dad around? Dad was more so like where the, like, if you want to behave unlike the way she wanted me to behave you'll go to your dad's so dad okay so they divorced when you were my mom I don't even know that they were married I never got a clear answer on that I don't believe sometimes I think about my childhood and the
Starting point is 00:14:37 things like I remember being very young and like the first time I like fell off a bike or something I was hurt my I had blood everywhere I'd scrape myself up and I was like in shock like the first time I like fell off a bike or something, I was hurt. I had blood everywhere. I'd scraped myself up and I was like in shock. Like very first time I had gotten in an accident at a really young age. I had this memory today of like running in and asking my mom, like, I'm so scared. I don't, I don't know what to do. I, you know, blood was dripping down my legs. And my mom was like, you scratch go clean it up suck it up it was very much that type of like she's a brilliant woman she's a lawyer um as far as I know I haven't had a relationship with her in years it's been a bit touchy lately because
Starting point is 00:15:19 um I've had to revisit the relationship because of a scenario that I'm in currently. And she has once again, made sure to, um, withhold and not protect her child. And I let go of her because she couldn't get that piece. Right. And it was too damaging because I was trying to make that piece right in all of my relationships. So I was attracting qualities about her that I loved, but that never saw me, accepted me or loved me. And I wanted to make them love me. And you just can't. No, you can't do that. What about your dad, though?
Starting point is 00:15:59 Did you guys have a good relationship or was he very absent? Because that could be qualities that you're chasing and finding in these men too. So he is so like with all due respect to people that have very strong feelings about loving your parents, regardless of your experience with them. He's so fucking irrelevant to me. Like I don't, I'm, I was with him a couple of times in childhood when I had a TV show. Both my parents showed up for a paycheck or a flight out or a vacation, whatever it is. There was a big scene on my show where he says he'll keep checking in every week. And he was sad for, you know, they wasn't a strong father to me.
Starting point is 00:16:42 And I believed that. And I didn't hear from him ever again. He writes me like once on my birthday every year. When I did, he said like two very, I talked to him maybe like once every couple of years maybe. One time he was ranting about Trump and I just said to him like, you know, don't take all of that stuff so seriously you have to remember politics and like entertainment everybody's putting on a show it doesn't necessarily mean what they're
Starting point is 00:17:13 doing in front of everybody is what they do at home I specifically know what that family does at home very well I would like to know well we'll get into it as much as we can um but i um i just said you know if if it were if it were if this type of race paid him and and put money in his pockets it's about green it's not about any of this or that because he was like picking and choosing specific sentences and outrage and then he was like oh don't just because you fucked his son and he fucking used you and fucked you and dropped you like a bad habit don't fucking think you could tell your dad some shit like i was like first of all i didn't never talk to my father about that relationship he must have read about it in the press never once has wait hold on who said this to you your dad said this
Starting point is 00:18:00 way worse yeah they talk like like, so you got no emotional, no emotional support. No, you never felt like you were loved genuinely. No. And you know, what's crazy is watching your podcast made me, especially like, as I, you know, I have to allocate my time so tightly nowadays, but the past couple of days I've been really like locking in on knowing I'm coming here and talking with you. And it made me feel so free to see so many people that were so expressive about going through, you know, poorly represented parents and trauma, because I've always had to keep everything so perfect that I don't really talk about it I
Starting point is 00:18:45 I've always I think I you know I there are times where I really believed and wanted to believe and there are times that I just full-blown fake it but I've never really like come out and said anything because I remember like some engagement with my mom at a certain point in my career where she basically was just like, you can do whatever you're going to do and talk however you want to talk about whatever you talk about, but you don't talk about me or what you feel I've been as a mother because you're going to compromise me. And she's an attorney and she worked hard for her degree. And she's got a community of people that believe in whatever she's presented them. that's a narcissist trying to control the narrative but at that time I took that very
Starting point is 00:19:30 seriously and I didn't for the longest and until like Bali was a life like I heard you talking to someone about like if you weren't changing something during COVID then you wasted your time. I mean, I moved away to Bali and got out of all the chaos. Cause I just had like my one, I had one breaking point moment where it was like, I was going to die or I was going to go. And somebody was like, a friend told me like, Aubrey, your mind is way too expansive to try to be involved or have any control in this moment. It is so beyond your brain's capacity to grab onto any of this. And I just know too much of the truth about everything that's going on. And I was seeing different worlds of truths connect in front of the world as if it was real. And I know what each has said about each and it was getting like, I felt like I was
Starting point is 00:20:33 going to explode. That's heavy, heavy. And, and he was like, you need to get into psychedelics. I had like, I've done every drug once, I once or twice, maybe like every Christmas, Halloween, all Christmas, Christmas, happy birthday, Jesus, my friends, we do friends Christmas. We'll, we'll smoke weed. And they always say they love when I smoke weed. Cause my wool coat comes off. That's what they say. Um, do you feel like you mask to the world a lot? I mean, it's unintentionally, I know that saying mask is a heavy word because it would insinuate that you're being fake. No, I don't mind that. I don't mind. Um, I've been thinking about that. It's hard because I'm so honest, like in this weird stage
Starting point is 00:21:19 that I'm in of my life right now, there are so many things I've been telling the world for so long and no one listened and no one believed me and now I'm seeing it vindication circle and that these people being exposed to the world and we haven't even like scratched the surface so their outrage then coming back and recognizing me like oh Aubrey did say. So Aubrey's got a history for 20 years of saying this. And I'm like, I don't get excited. I wish, I wish they would have done it a little earlier. Cause maybe then my ego could have fed off of it a little, but my ego's gone now. So it doesn't do anything for me on that front, but it does make me realize I have always really sat in my truth. However, masking, I think that because you are the underneath all this this beauty you are a hurt yeah i think little girl by the way i think we're all beauty or not yeah everybody's
Starting point is 00:22:16 everybody's hurting yeah for sure we're a country that's hurting that's why we're in the position we're in right now just across the board it it's, we're a fucking mess right now. If you go outside of this country looking in, we are a mess. We are not respected. Like we were used to be. This world needs more love. I preach that all the time.
Starting point is 00:22:33 We need way more love. We need way more compassion, understanding. Every time I do a podcast, like the company, if they have a company, it's like, we want to sign you and do a podcast with you.
Starting point is 00:22:43 I've been asked so many times and I'm like, I don't want to contribute to, which by the way, I respect your voice in it. So this is not toward you, but there's a lot. This space is the most crowded space in entertainment. There are too many motherfucking people talking right now. Like not enough people listening and listening to the right people. I agree. But I think your voice could make a change. And that's why I keep, I continue on. Like I was telling you before the mics were on, like I've had my podcast since before the boom. Yeah. And it's like, when you've seen, I've seen so many people come and so many people go and what really matters and why my fan base
Starting point is 00:23:18 is so solid is because they know that I'm here to make a change. I'm not here to feed people shit. And I think that people would see that with you too. And that would be your platform. I really think that you could start a movement, bitch. I think this could be potentially part of your calling. The thing is right now, I'm a bit too reckless at the tongue. I get way too honest way too quick. I don't feel like you are.
Starting point is 00:23:43 I am, bitch. I've watched a lot of. I'm really holding everything in. Okay, well, let's not. Every time you see me. No, not here. I mean, every time you probably see me, there are things that I can't even talk. I mean, I'm an open book.
Starting point is 00:23:54 I would tell you if the cameras aren't on us, I'll tell you all about it. Yeah. But there are some things I just can't talk about legally right now. So like I'm in this like weird little position where my my good friends are kind of telling me you can't be around people right now because you talk too much and you're too open and if you're around the wrong person you could potentially create shifts and very big narratives that need to play out and so and changes that need to occur so i feel the weight of like isolating and it sucks yeah everywhere i go i probably go on these podcasts and these
Starting point is 00:24:34 bitches are looking at me like three hours later like fuck is this bitch done when i didn't call her daddy she was like this is the longest i've ever interviewed someone and we're running this is the longest podcast i've ever ran. Yeah. How long was it? Three hours? Like two and a two and a little bit. Those are like normal for me now. I know.
Starting point is 00:24:51 It's crazy. I don't want to hear anything short. Yeah. Every short one I've done, it was like, okay, so you basically read the covers of us weekly that popped up on page one and two of Google. Great. I've answered these questions 700 times, but okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:04 It's gotta be, uh, exhausting doing perpetual interviews. And that's, that's another reason I don't do a lot of interviews. I hate repeating myself. I pick and choose. I just, sometimes I choose the wrong people. Yeah. Um, circling back though, you know, you're grown up in childhood. You don't feel supported. You don't feel like you have a safe space, essentially. And you're excelling in school. You're doing, you know, amazing academically. When Danity Kane or the whole Diddy situation comes about, you're how old, 16, 17?
Starting point is 00:25:38 A little older. I was in the beginning stages of college. And my mom sent me this email and basically pleaded with me. She just said, you know, you're I was studying to go to law school and be an attorney because I was going to do everything that I saw my mom do better. Just because is kind of how I was. Say Aquarius and you. Probably. And then she wrote me and basically said that, which is the Leo in her,
Starting point is 00:26:11 and then said, don't bother, kid. I won't be watching and I won't care. Go do what you're meant to do in life that I never could and go be an artist. You've been singing your whole life. You've been on stage your whole life. Here's this audition that I just saw on go be an artist you've been singing your whole life you've been on stage your whole life here's this audition that I just saw on the cover of the desert sun which was our newspaper in the desert and it was Diddy was doing this collaborative show with MTV and there weren't
Starting point is 00:26:37 reality shows back then like that it wasn't like it is today I mean I remember the first time the episode aired and I went to the grocery store, like an entire aisle when I walked down it, like drop the cans on the floor and were just staring at me like I was fucking Julia Roberts and Ralphs or something like they just reality stars felt like Julia Roberts in the beginning, but they were in your local Ralphs and you could see them and actually ask them something where you never, we never see Julia Roberts in Palm Springs. So it was like movie stars, these people that you watch on film, but they were like from your hometown. Now they're everywhere. Everybody's famous for something now, literally. But back then it was very different. I mean, it was my space. That's all we had. It was who's in your top eight, you know, or whatever the fuck my space top eight. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Wasn't it? But anyway, so, um anyway, so my mom told me about the show and she like really was, it was life changing. I don't know if it was for the better now that we've come full circle and I'm having to take copious notes and timelines and have a very strong understanding of what I experienced. But she wrote this like plea to me and she
Starting point is 00:27:48 said, I'd never be happy being attorney. I'm too creative. And there's this glass ceiling for women and that I'll regret it. And she didn't want me to live a life I would regret. So there were moments where my mom has been very influential and key. She's not a dumb woman. She's not like she, she, she gets drunk on wine. She's not pounding like vodka, but at least not when I was around, but when she drank, you know, first glass, she's wonderful, beautiful, charming. Second glass, best storyteller you've ever heard. best storyteller you've ever heard that's probably where i get it from third drink it starts to turn into suspicion and paranoia and are you fucking my husband and then i get beat and then she takes off drunk and then my stepdad and i are trying to figure out where the fuck i'm hiding the keys and she's beating me up and i've got them i knew to always protect my face because my face had to be on TV and two days when I had to fly back and do making the band again. So this is
Starting point is 00:28:49 the first time I've ever heard you talk about physical abuse with your mother. So when did the physical abuse start as a child? Yeah. That's right. There was like, I, you know, listen, I, I didn't understand it at all when I was a child. I just, it was normal and I normalized it. I kind of became very OCD because I saw my mom struggling too, right? Like I saw my stepdad hit her, beat her, hit her and she flew into like a sconce in the wall. And then we weren't living in that big mansion anymore. We were sleeping in the car for weeks we were going into a weird food stamps place when I lived in like a big huge mansion
Starting point is 00:29:30 a week prior I didn't know that he was fucking the secretary at her law firm and now my mom can't be made partner and now she's lost her job and she's freaked out and I didn't understand what that would feel like now I know what those things feel like and I didn't understand what that would feel like. Now I know what those things feel like. I didn't understand losing your love or him being bipolar or whatever the fuck was going on. I didn't know. I just knew that my mom asked me to sleep in her bed with her that night. I just knew the procedural stuff.
Starting point is 00:29:59 And everything else was me trying to fit in. And so I would walk kind of this long a lot of girls wanted to beat me up like because I was nerdy or I didn't have new clothes all the time like everyone did and there was like when you didn't come back to school with new clothes everybody would laugh at you kind of so people would fight there were like fights with baddies in high school and I was always oh yeah we're from a different generation where people actually used to fight each other we didn't talk shit online I think it got worse after being on baddies I feel like everybody I feel like everybody just talks shit online to each other it's about all now it's about exposing where before it used to be like meet me in the bathroom bitch let's
Starting point is 00:30:37 fucking yeah it's all very much that yeah um but I was so scared I didn't I was just so scared of everything and I didn't really have like I didn't I was just so scared of everything. And I didn't really have like I didn't have a dad at home. There wasn't anyone telling me like, fuck that girl, go fucking punch her in her fucking face. Or I didn't have a dad having my back or defending me. And I told my mom and my mom was like, get beat up. Watch your face. Cover your face when she's beating on you. Try to have her get your back or your legs or something. And so you can then let's move on. She's beating on you. Try to have her get your back or your legs or something.
Starting point is 00:31:04 And then let's move on. We have other things to handle. It was just very like I was really left out there like needing to find control over what was happening. So I started, my brain started developing into OCD. Whatever the chemical imbalances that I have naturally started to really come forward. Because then there would be nights like most of my nights I remember in my childhood and my mom you know to speak for her fairly she says there were all these great moments and I only remember the bad I can't I hate that I was I wasn't drunk in my childhood and I remember it fine in my opinion but you know what I always say because my dad would say the
Starting point is 00:31:42 same thing to me when I would remind him of trauma I would say you know it's like that quote that they say on TikTok for you it was a regular Tuesday but for me it was like life-changing yeah you know like they don't understand for some reason the parents can't wrap their brain around that they fucked up as parents I had this really dope producer and I got into it with him one time and and he said to me his parents were abusive and he had fucked up shit with them too. But he realized one time in a conversation when he was bartering for apologies, which I did for a long period of time with my mom. I wanted to make sure I gave her a chance to still be in my life. And I was, I didn't know I could let go even at that time, probably.
Starting point is 00:32:21 And he said, I realized at one point when I was really going at it with my dad mom whoever it was I can't remember he said I realized if they had if they actually even if they know deep down if you haven't had they have a memory or don't because they were on drugs um if they were to actually see and know and have that memory come into their mind, they wouldn't want to be alive anymore. Because they would have to acknowledge. So he had to just let it go. And he learned to let it go knowing that he wanted his parents to be alive and okay.
Starting point is 00:32:54 And I don't know if it's just because I've been on my own since I was 17. I worked through this whole industry alone. I worked through Diddy. I worked through getting whole industry alone. I worked through Diddy. I worked through getting fired on national television after making no money and being hustled for six, seven seasons for being promiscuous and overly raunchy, which wasn't true. I had to then fight for a career after being blacklisted everywhere on fucking national TV with a lie. I couldn't come forward. I had no voice. I
Starting point is 00:33:23 had no say. I had to first offer I got, obviously for the overly promiscuous raunchy girl was playboy cover a playboy first paycheck I ever made, um, got me to be able to get away from my mom's house. Cause meanwhile I was not making any money in Dandie Decay. And so I still had to go home to my mom and get beat. Right. So it's like, you know, it was, it was chaotic. I mean, it was just absolutely chaotic as a child. But as I was, I was saying, as I was going to, as I would walk up to school, I'd be, you know, at nighttime, my mom would get drunk and she would lock herself in her room and like pass out in this like shower, this long shower that she had. And so I learned how to pick the lock with a hairpin, and I would go into the shower, take off all my clothes,
Starting point is 00:34:10 lay down next to her in a ball, and I would just stick my finger under her nose like this because I could feel if there was hot air, and then I would know she's not dead because she looked dead. Oh, my God. So I did that frequently, and then hours later she'd wake up, kick me out of the room, tell me I'm being fucking weird and annoying and then I'd have to wake up and go to school in an hour
Starting point is 00:34:30 and try to fit in with everybody and try to be popular and try to look like I got sleep and I know what I'm doing and I have something new on or whatever. So I started developing this pattern of OCD. When I would walk to school, if I saw a crack, I'd be like, if you don't step on any of the cracks today, your mom won't die. She'll be okay tonight. And you won't get beat up at school. So I started to walk in patterns where I avoided cracks. It got to a point where I was like, traveling the world. I don't even know if it was in Danity Caner prior
Starting point is 00:35:07 because I traveled around the world in a broad program prior. But I remember being in India and like I had something where I had to, if there's any trash in my direct path, I had to pick it up because I need to do better for the world. And my OCD always kind of locks around making things better for society. It's probably an Aquarian thing. Cause we're like humanitarians and we have a leaning in that area. So I remember being in India and there was like a needle.
Starting point is 00:35:39 I just happened to walk in the path of. My OCD would have made me run the other way. I had to pick up like a used needle on the ground and throw it away. I can't even tell you there was one where I couldn't say the word stop for like three years because it's a very, I felt it was a negative word and that it isolated you and that it, it only closed off opportunities and people. And so I couldn't use the word stop. And if I did, I had to do like a very rigorous process of touching multiple fucking things. Broadway was a hot mess for me. Let's talk about that. So when did you start,
Starting point is 00:36:15 when did singing into your life? Um, Oh, when I was a child, you just always saying you've always had the beautiful set of pipes. Yeah. Always on stage. Never in a studio. Making the band was the first time I, I didn't act like it. No one knows this, but I had never been inside a studio. I remember my very first note. And I remember,
Starting point is 00:36:34 mind you inside a studio with lighting like this, with a camera about this far away from me with a microphone and earphones acting like I'm ready to go. I'm, I'm going to make this band like no fucking idea what the, how to even sing in that space. Yeah. And I'm used to being on stage because I was always in musical theater.
Starting point is 00:36:54 So when you say musical theater, was it like in school or was it like, no, like I did tours. Okay. As a child. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:02 So, um, when I, when I was in the studio, i remember like belting very big because that's what you do when you're on stage that's your most impressive parts when you get your big notes and you belt really big yeah in a studio you that does not translate right you almost have to sing in a baby voice to come off just smooth enough on a track like sometimes i watch like even reference singers reference stuff that
Starting point is 00:37:26 I do and I'm like she's barely whispering in that bitch and it comes out like incredible yeah but I remember like singing big and did he stop me and I was like bitch are you is there a megaphone in front of you like slow it down fall off the beat sexy robot that's what he liked sexy robot off the beat, sexy robot. That's what he liked. Sexy robot off the beat a little. So behind the beat. So, you know, you go into this, this TV show and of course, you know, you've been very vocal about how Diddy treated you guys and what has happened with you guys and stuff like that. But through all these interviews that I have watched with you, there's a side of you that still protects him a little bit have you ever realized that oh god girl I I'm deeply in this no interview I've done I can even discuss how deeply in this
Starting point is 00:38:13 world I'm in right now um no I mean he's in some shit these these uh yeah but I mean I know forward I know I know way more than anyone realizes. And I can't talk about anything right now. Yeah. And so I am like busting at the fucking seams and I'm wanting to tell everybody every day what occurs. There are things that are developing that will, you know, allow eventually a voice to be had, and I will have my motherfucking voice had. I just can't do it right now.
Starting point is 00:38:53 And that's very hard for me because I'm very much in the stage of I don't care about playing any industry games. OnlyFans has given me the freedom to say no to doing anything. I don't have to take a show. I don't have to get a show. I don't have to sell Hollywood anymore. Fuck them. I've always felt that way, but I've had to smile and tap dance for them for most of the time. I fucking hated most of my managers and agents. Most of them workhorse you and then put you down when the work work isn't coming in tell you that you're overexposed and to go sit back for a while and for people that are used to you were workhorsing me last year yeah you enjoyed all the paychecks I brought you
Starting point is 00:39:37 so you see how disposable you are you're only as good as your last performance yeah all of it did he taught us I remember like when we first went platinum he brought our platinum plaques out at Madison Square Garden we were on Christina Aguilera's tour and the next day we walk in the studio and all of us were like beaming and we were like holy shit I mean even the first time we heard our song on the radio it was like a huge moment for us and we walked in and met Diddy with what the fuck are you bitches smiling about we we got platinum albums at Madison Square Garden last night like holy shit and he'd be like yeah that was yesterday what the fuck have you done today
Starting point is 00:40:19 and I realized what you just said was the mentality. You're only as good as what you did today. Yesterday doesn't matter. The whole fucking career I've built right now at this moment in entertainment, I used to build ships of my career as if one day I'm going to get to the top of this mountain and look down and be like, wow. I have been on, starred on Broadway. I have two double platinum albums and many more that I've written, produced. I know how to shoot music videos. Then I taught myself how to
Starting point is 00:40:52 be an editor and use all of the, I mean, I can go on After Effects. I mean, I did all of our music videos in dumb blonde, edited all of them, shot all of them, got a USC kid to get me a red camera, went on YouTube for two days and learned every trick you can do with no money. And then did it to make it look like you have a million dollar budget. And I've had been on hinge dates with people that are like the heads at Sony and Paramount. And they're like, this looks, was like what a million dollar budget. And I'm like, try 500. And we literally took the projector back to Walmart. All these black walls, green wall, white wall, that was my house.
Starting point is 00:41:26 We painted them and then got in front of it. Well, you're a hustler. You make shit happen. Yeah. You don't wait around for stuff to come to you. You go and get it. No, and I love the creation part. But with all of that being said,
Starting point is 00:41:38 I come back from Bali now, none of that matters. Reputation doesn't even matter anymore. I didn't do so many things in my career because of reputation sake, even the Don Trump Jr. stuff. When that came out, I mean, I remember my entire team that was with me being like, this is devastating for you. You won't work again. You took somebody's husband is how they presented it in the press. And all I had done for years was fight with Michael Cohen to keep it out of the press and to never have anyone see it. It was not expected. So when it all dropped, it was so overwhelming. And now it's like cool to fucking take somebody's husband. Yeah, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:42:23 The shit that gets you attention. Let's circle back to fucking take somebody's husband. Yeah, it's crazy. You could get millions. Yeah, the shit that gets you attention. Let's circle back to the Diddy thing because there's a lot of people who might be listening who maybe if they live under a rock, don't know who you are. And so you're- Even Diddy, don't know who Diddy is. I walk into my OnlyFans company
Starting point is 00:42:40 and they're like, who's Diddy? I'm like, really? Yeah, no, it's crazy. God, I am old as fuck. I've always wanted to ask you this question. Do you think Diddy I'm like really yeah no it's crazy old as fuck I've always wanted to ask you this question yeah do you think Diddy had something to do with Tupac's death I think you'll find out soon I mean we're already finding out right Keefy D came forward and said what he said he was in the car during the shooting that murdered Tupac. So he probably could tell you even better than I can. They arrested him. He said what it was. He just had a whole breakout in the middle
Starting point is 00:43:12 of court like last week, telling everybody that Diddy paid him a million dollars to get rid of Pac. Yeah. Is what he's saying. I feel that Diddy got rid of Pac and Biggie. And maybe others as well. Yeah. And does it scare you? You know, now that you are speaking out so openly and people are actually seeing that. Mind you, I'm not being open at all because I can't. But I appreciate you saying that. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:43:39 But now that you're speaking out as much as you can and you're like trying to open up the floor. What you are were the forerunner of really kind of exposing Diddy. You've always done it very tastefully and tactfully though. I had to bitch. He could run. He was, that was my next question. Like, does that scare you that you could possibly end up on one of these missing person lists because of Diddy? You know, I've, I was asked that on a podcast and everyone was like, Oh God, fuck this girl. Tell us what you know, or fuck off. Like this mentality of like, we want it now. And like, God forbid, like I should just go on a podcast and tell the whole world what I know right now and what's happening behind the scenes versus, I don't know, like somebody who could do something about it and create justice, which is what anyone that's got a story should be doing right now. Absolutely. So it's like, it's puzzling to me
Starting point is 00:44:29 when people like come at me so hard, but, um, I mean, fuck every what everybody thinks. This is your life. Nobody has to live in your shoes. You know what I'm saying? We just have to deal with the annoyances of people's fucking opinions, bothering our days sometimes. Yeah, no, I get it. Trust me. I mean, everyone always acts like, Oh, I don't care what people say. Listen, we are forced people's fucking opinions bothering our days sometimes yeah no i get it trust me i mean everyone always acts like oh i don't care what people say listen we are forced to see it now whether we like it or not we are likely going to see one of the kardashians per day on our instagrams if we go on it you are going to see a kardashian every day for the rest of your motherfucking life unfortunately we all are because they pop up on the instagram on everyone's phone
Starting point is 00:45:03 daily do you still have a relationship with Kim? Because you guys used to be friends, right? Yeah, best friends. No. What happened there? Because how do you go from being best friends with somebody to not? That's a hard one for me because they're more powerful and can make things happen more than Diddy.
Starting point is 00:45:27 So I don't know that I should get into all of that, but, um, I had Shana Mochler on the podcast and she spilled all the tea. Yeah. I actually, Shana and I became friends because she had thought I had made a 4th of July post like years ago about like, I put them side by side. Cause I was having a moment during 4th, 4th of July is a one where I kind of always reflect on my life. And why do you think that is? Cause it's like halfway through the year. I don't know, but I was with a huge producer this year and he looked at me and he goes, 4th of July is a really big, I'm like, I'm so happy to be where we're at in this moment, sitting next to you, like experiencing this together, because this is where I really do a lot of my internalizing further processing of the year, my life, where I'm at, where it's going. I don't know why, but he had
Starting point is 00:46:18 it too. So I was like, okay, that's the first person I met that does it on 4th of July as well. That's a soulmate right there. Fireworks feel like, I mean, like the trip I just had here, like all the lightning that was coming in the skies. I don't see a lot of that in LA. Fireworks to me feel grand and, and like, they feel like bigger than life. So when I see them pop in my face, it just gives me like, um, big adult perspective, bird's eye view perspective.
Starting point is 00:46:49 Cause I feel out of this earth when I see them. I was going to say, I wonder if it's a part of your soul. It's a visual, it's a visual situation. I wonder if it's a part of your soul that yearns to be like, probably something, something like that.
Starting point is 00:47:00 I love that. A big star in the sky. Yeah. Um, or just back in space where everybody belongs, you know, on DMT. I love that big star in the sky. Yeah. Um, or just back in space where everybody belongs, you know, on DMT, I was, it was like fireworks on crack. I could never do DMT. I would fucking probably shit my pants. There's no way. Oh, it's so fantastic. Okay. You might get to a time where you get to the place where you feel comfortable. You got to feel comfortable. Cause it's, it's,
Starting point is 00:47:21 you die in the very beginning. Like's yeah not easy no thank you it happens very fast though I'm fighting for my life right now I last thing I want to do last thing I want to do is fucking just you know go into a situation no and I'm gonna croak in the first fucking three minutes nothing about that sounds fucking amazing but okay so before we get into your DMT thing so you don't want to speak on the Kim Kardashian. Oh, I just I think I just I don't believe the friendship was ever real or would still exist. Right. Yeah. That's hurtful. Yeah. I mean, I really I thought we were friends, but I don't know.
Starting point is 00:48:01 I lived at her house. I was around during a pretty like pivotal time. And I'm on the first episode of the Kardashians on the pilot yeah like um I was there when she first had paparazzi mob her Range Rover outside of their bay we were she we went shopping I mean I was there during before she blew up yeah I was there during the beginning now I don't know who she is now as a person but oh I was saying the reflection sorry I jump around so much you're good you're good but um I don't mind I like listening to you talk because it's so it's it's almost poetic and pretty to listen to but I'll always try to keep you on track if I can keep me looped back because I will just I my I have so such a memory bank I jump but the Shana thing you brought up um so I did a side by
Starting point is 00:48:40 side on 4th of July years back and I said here's a 4th of July that I remember. And here's a 4th of July I remember. And one of them was with Kim and she was dating Travis. And we went over to his house and she was dating Travis Barker. Yes. We were rushed over getting ready to go to get, go to Travis's. And then there was a whole big problem. It was when his best friend was still alive before the plane accident um his best friend came in he's like yo shana's being crazy she's been slashing tires like she's got she's something to the extent of like she saw kim's car outside or whatever she was going to slash the tires i think at this time maybe he was even right after paris or they there were overlapping moments of the paris travis Kim, Travis era things,
Starting point is 00:49:26 but I was there. Which Kim denies it to this day. Well, that's what I was going to get into. So I was with her and we went over to Travis's. They were, we were over there and then Kim needed to be seen in Malibu. So we had to go to Malibu and go to every party and get the perfect photos for Kim so that she's perfectly seen by everybody and all the photos at all the parties with all the people. Then we got back in the Range Rover and we were in the horrible traffic going back to Calabasas. And all I asked her for that day was to just be able to see the fireworks. She never really took time to ask me about me or know me. So she wouldn't have understood how important Fourth of July was to me like you now do because you just asked yeah in the fucking two hours that i've known you in the in the very long time that
Starting point is 00:50:11 i knew her i don't think she understood how important fourth of july was to me but we were on her time always and um and as we were driving back because we had to go do all the things we're trying to get back to travis's and and we were stuck in traffic during the fireworks on 4th of July, and I was like, can we at least just pull over, like, on the next pull-off, and so I could just sit in the grass and, like, see them and, like, have a moment, please? So she was like, yeah, and we pull over,
Starting point is 00:50:42 and we sit in the fireworks, and I'm watching them, and we're sitting there on the grass, like, in a random over and we sit in the fireworks and I'm watching them and we're sitting there on the grass, like in a random neighborhood, pulled off in the grass, watching the fireworks. And she turned to me and was like, um, I remember like last year or whatever, what, what at some point, I remember being with Paris and San Tropez or something on some boat or yacht or with something, something with Paris, the whole like lovely story with Paris. I'm listening to her and she's like, and we were with this person and that person
Starting point is 00:51:09 and we were in this, that, and it was this, this, that. And now I'm sitting here on some grass with you. And I was like thinking to myself like, ditto bitch, but not that because I didn't have that confidence at that time yet but I think the inside of me was thinking yeah me too I used to be in really amazing places on 4th of July this is the least impressive one I've had but um but I wrote that story in comparison to when I think some type of time when I was traveling the world and I was with like
Starting point is 00:51:45 kids from an orphanage and my time and experience with them was so precious on that day. And there were no celebrities, there were no parties, there were no wire image and Getty pictures. There was no Travis Barker's big mansion and pool parties. There was none of any of that. It was just a raw moment in another country with people that have nothing and it meant the world and then I kind of wrote something on the side by side like you know be careful not to get lost in the wrong things because as I look back now with a bird's eye view people would have thought that was the most impressive 4th of July I've had. When in reality, the most meaningful, impressive to me 4th of July I ever had was on this side.
Starting point is 00:52:32 So somebody in the media just screen capped it, never ran it. I low-key give the world information so, so bluntly and they just don't catch it because they don't pay attention to me at that moment or whatever. But I low key have dropped so many gems for people along the way, but that would just went, fell by the wayside. And then as a couple years later, I think I've gone to Bali and come back now. Shana Mochler writes me one night and she's like, Hey, I just want to say like i really respect you so much for having my back when everybody's turning on me and everyone's saying
Starting point is 00:53:11 i'm a fucking liar and you have my back of nobody that none of my friends people that know not one person will come forward and say anything that's true about that situation and i'm out here i've lost my kids they are they're more impressed because I can't give them that lavish life I'm sure she told you when she came here kind of said the same thing to me and I was sitting there like I didn't even have her number in my phone and I was like who is this what is this about what the fuck and then I called my assistant and I'm like some number just wrote me thanks for having their back and regards to Travis Barker and I'm what the fuck and she's like oh I'm getting a bunch of google alerts right now of people saying you're backing up Shana that Kim had dated Travis and I was like oh shit she must think that I just posted that recently
Starting point is 00:53:56 so I wrote her and I was like no problem like I literally wrote that years ago, but that actually helps to, that actually helps her because years ago I said it. Yeah. But just like the Diddy stuff. Yeah. Like how it just resurfaced. Many things. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Like nobody believed you. So circling back really quick, just to give a quick synopsis of what happened with Danity Kane, just in case people who are listening didn't know, let's take them through the Diddy situation and kind of the abuse that you had to go through while, you know, just trying to fucking live a dream and make a dream for yourself. Yeah. Um, well, so we started with the mom sent you the email. Yeah. Um, sent me the email. I disregarded it. Um, I had a dream that night that I was performing at Madison Square Garden and I saw like people crying and singing lyrics to me when I was touching their hands on a stage and I woke up and was like uh I gotta I gotta go to this audition so I called like
Starting point is 00:55:03 a friend of mine and he he had to work that day I was scared of driving to LA at the time I was at UC Irvine in college I was scared of driving to LA because I'd gotten in a like a couple car accidents at that point and was scared um so he couldn't take me so I just got dressed for college was was walking to my poli sci class, and he hit me, and he's like, I ended up getting let go for the day. Like, let's go. I'll pick you up. Rolled up to UC Irvine, jumped in in the outfit I was wearing for class, and went to this audition at, like, the Forum or some huge, big place in L.A.
Starting point is 00:55:40 Thousands and thousands of people in every city, hundreds of thousands by the end of both seasons of audition phases. And he picked two of us, I think, in L.A., two or three maybe. Out of thousands. Yeah, thousands and thousands, and they all sang better than me, or at least the ones I was hearing. I walked up and they gave you a sheet. There was like six or seven songs on it.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Girl, I could not tell you one of the songs. I listened to Incubus. I listened to Third Eye Blind, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson. I was like a fucking Nirvana. That's good music. Like all I knew was alt rock. I cried to every song that I in my head loved somebody too, because I still hadn't fallen in love or dated yet or even had sex or anything. I was really far behind on all of that.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Were you a virgin whenever you joined the show? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. So I, how crazy you joined the show a virgin and then Diddy fires you later on for being too promiscuous. And my first love of my life that I was with was his DJ. Do you think that caused jealousy? Not his regular DJ, but a very respected DJ. He DJs for Obama and Oprah and Diddy and Jay-Z and everybody. But he was the first love of my life, and I dated him for the majority of Danity Kane. Do you think that caused jealousy with Diddy?
Starting point is 00:57:13 Because he seems to be such a... I hate throwing the word narcissist around because that's just what it is, but he just seems like he needs to have all of the attention. I don't know that I brought that relationship into my work when he was around much. I noticed issues with a person after. Were you and Diddy ever intimate with each other? intimate with each other to my knowledge and to what I want and what I feel and what I,
Starting point is 00:57:56 um, would have ever desired. Absolutely not. But there is, I don't, I can't speak any further on anything. So who was the friend afterwards that he was, that you could feel some sort of, he felt some sort of way about it? There was our manager. His name's Jay Irving. He's the son of the famous basketball player. He came on and managed us for a bit. Danity Kane was long gone falling apart at the seams I think it got to a point
Starting point is 00:58:29 where we were flirting one of my bandmates brought him into the equation and then I don't know we were always around each other during work there was a lot of weirdness between those two but he's
Starting point is 00:58:44 runs more in the same circles and is respected differently at that time and place um so um him and I started dating um like toward the end I mean I think it was like a moment like he had asked all the girls, like, do you really want to be here? Because some of the girls, everybody was very divided. And he made us all sit in a room after a performance. He asked everybody. I said yes. Some people said yes right away. Always me first saying yes.
Starting point is 00:59:22 And then not everyone could give an answer, he asked us to like take a week and think about it and come back and have an answer for him and I said yes somebody else said yes and then somebody else said no and then the group was uh starting to dismantle at that point that's when like Broadway comes along he starts liking me and I just started to feel more freedom and the fact that like I'm not the problem here I want this but not everybody here does and I tiptoe around a lot of shady ass behavior because also as the group develops and get more famous is when I meet Kim she was literally a fan of Danity Kane when I first met her and was like like she's the Aubrey of the group with her friends when I first met her and then like um as Kim blew up when I'd come back
Starting point is 01:00:19 home and live with Kim and go around with Kim paparazzi was all on top of her car as we're driving out literally and then I'd go to I'd go do it back on tour and then when we'd be in all these large venues they'd be like Aubrey and the girls Aubrey and the girls just a solo of Aubrey so that really doesn't sit well with a band where we're all equally singing and dancing and participating in it. And, you know, I can understand why some of my bandmates who never really understood me or got a chance took took the time to know me. Really, after being together for so long and on the road and tours and platinum albums. You get divided so quickly. You get put in your roles so quickly. It was very obvious from the very beginning that I would be pulled out of rooms it was always a concern how my nails looked how my hair looks
Starting point is 01:01:12 then my toenails don't look right go get them fixed your hair I was very much groomed to be the looker of the group that's kind of what I was told I was in front of everybody all the time so like that makes people in the group who want to fit in that role to not feel seen in that role as in the group I never felt seen as a talent and I didn't care about being the looker I've never cared about that in my life I didn't feel that I was that naturally, whatever confidence I had, I think made me attractive to people, but I don't feel even if I look, watch old making the band episodes that I was particularly that pretty. You were beautiful. I mean, I was cool. I was a decent looking girl, but I wasn't like, I was very much groomed into having to pay attention to how I look all the time and I was made aware of
Starting point is 01:02:07 how I look all the time my weight my my hair my nails my like everything had to be like at a certain level of consciousness continuously do you feel like because did he did nitpick you apart so much that that contributes to you know know, any insecurities that you may have now or that grew after being in that situation? He's so far in my rear view. I've had so many huge world scandals since. Yeah. No, no, no. But I mean, like, but I mean, like moving on from that, you ended up doing Playboy. You obviously got his words. Definitely. I'm learning now as I do a real, I had never watched my firing. I honestly didn't even really remember what he said during the episode. I just watched it when I came home from Bali and I was pissed. And that was even before Cassie dropped. I was just rewatching old episodes on the internet,
Starting point is 01:03:05 on my live, talking with fans, and I watched it, and I had to get off the live, and I cried, and I was like, I didn't even realize how much he shaped my opportunities with just a few sentences. I had the entire community backing me when he said on camera during just the first season, Aubrey, are you black?
Starting point is 01:03:28 Do you have black in you? You hang out with black people? Well, you look like you do. Everybody needs to be shaking their ass and doing what Aubrey's doing. Just that one line. And all I was doing was just being the overachiever that I always am. I threw in a few extra little boom, boom, boom at the very end of when we were allowed to do a freestyle. And I just happened to do it way better than everyone in the room did. And so
Starting point is 01:03:48 it really stands out on camera and that really stood out to him. But an entire room of people that mostly weren't my color were told that they need to be like me. Right. And so that was this like immediate co-sign that I watched a lot of people come up to me and show me respect for and pay tribute to that. And I was like, I couldn't believe that all of a sudden I could be respected or believed in based off of a sentence. The cool girl. could be in or hang out around. And then, and then as it progressed, I saw how one sentence would then shape my ability to start a charity tomorrow, become Megan Markle's probably who I like would have been in my life. Smart, educated, sophisticated. I'm probably a little bit more of a hoochie, but like, you know know when I got a wild streak in you baby she probably does too you know we don't know how people are at home but it's always the ones that
Starting point is 01:04:49 you think are really square that are the freakiest too sometimes but when I watched Harry and Megan I very much uh resonated with her I resonated with everything she did yeah I don't look it and I don't seem it and I definitely don't even speak it anymore. But I, the inside of me was like, that's who you would have been. Yeah. I think you come across, you, you come across as very intellectual and very smart. You're not a dumb blonde, you know? Yeah. Um, I wouldn't, I wouldn't have attracted Don jr or anyone else. We're going to get into that. We're going to get into that. So moving on from Diddy, he pretty much fired you on, you know, national TV set this narrative that you are a certain way that you're hard to deal with. You're this, that, and the other. What happens then? Where,
Starting point is 01:05:35 where are you mentally? Were you relieved? So no, I, when he fired, well, things occurred prior to the day I was fired that weren't captured or told on camera. Just that story was told on camera. And no one in the room thought I knew that I was getting fired. I walked out with my microphone attached to my back. I threw it in a trash can or something. I walked out mic'd. That's how much the production was in shock. Yeah. And I walked down the stairs and I looked at my assistant and I was like, did he just fired me? And she was like, well, you're getting best dressed at fashion
Starting point is 01:06:17 week for New York fashion week. And you have to be on a red carpet in 10 minutes and you're already going to be late. So you need to get in the car service now. And I was like, I just was fired, Jules. And she was like, I get it. We'll figure it out. You have to be on a red carpet right now. And I just was shocked. Then I put on my big fake face. I had to fake it for a good while until the episode aired. No one knew what to do. No one was talking at that point. We already had had one of the members say that she absolutely wanted to be done. That was never shown on television. Which member was that?
Starting point is 01:06:53 Andrea. And it's funny, even when I watched my firing, Diddy looks at her and he goes, she was part of the problem for you. You told me she was the problem for you. And I realized, wow, she was, I knew she was having conversations with the manager because I was dating him. And she would call him and talk bad about me, and I could hear the conversations. None of them know that except Dee Woods because she was my roommate, and I would go back and tell her, Drea just called Jay and was like suggesting that I'm doing all kinds of things that I'm not.
Starting point is 01:07:33 It was ugly. Are you and D. Woods still close? I got to pass on that right now. What about the other girls? Do you talk to any of them? Like Shannon, you and Shannon created a group together, correct?
Starting point is 01:07:52 We did. Dumb blonde. I'd love the name. Yeah, exactly. We have that in common. Yeah. Um, I,
Starting point is 01:08:01 so like part of this whole diddy thing was that he had given all his artists their royalties back. I wrote on both our albums. We all did. Which you should get songwriting credits for that. Everybody does. It's like two platinum albums. It's like over 40 plus million, maybe more. I mean, with exclusives, international. I mean, it could be 40 to 60 million. And that's like over 40 plus million, maybe more. I mean, with exclusives, international,
Starting point is 01:08:25 I mean, it could be 40 to 60 million. And that's like actual CD sales. We're not talking about streaming and you get a cent off of the sale. No, Danity Kane was huge. Didn't see a dime. Didn't see anything. Playboy was the first thing
Starting point is 01:08:41 that got me out of my mom's house. Well, do you talk to any of the girls? He came forward and said he was giving us our publishing back. I looked at the contract and knew immediately that there was something funny going on. I was in different phases of my life. I reached out to everyone and asked them not to sign it. And a lot of them did. The majority of them?
Starting point is 01:09:03 so the majority of them I got a message from one of my band members that she was pissed that I was like talking about this and I want to be respectful of my group yeah but but are they are they respectful my truth because I'm it's the same thing I've always done. I'm trying to protect the legacy of something. Like, Don, if I really protect the legacy of what we shared together, I wouldn't be able to come forward and just be straight up with you about a lot of things about their family and the shit that I saw.
Starting point is 01:09:35 And now, he doesn't contribute to my life at all. So if I want to speak on it, I will speak on it because I took my power back in Bali and I'm not protecting anyone's legacy even if I was involved in it at any point I'm just going to be me because when you hold in that many people's secrets
Starting point is 01:09:56 it makes you sick you can slide into addiction and other things so I just freed myself from all that. So it's hard because I'm once again feeling like I'm trapped in that I can't speak on this because I don't want to offend the girls type shit. But none of them are my fucking friends. They don't have my back.
Starting point is 01:10:18 They don't protect me. I thought Dee and I were going to take this next journey together. That was short-lived. People will understand that in due time. Right. But she chose different than what I thought our understanding was, and I didn't need to hear anything anymore after that. I was done, blocked, done.
Starting point is 01:10:46 I have no time in my life anymore for trying to look out for people that aren't looking out for me. Amen, sister. I think you get to a certain age where you're just like, fuck this shit. I hate to say it because there's so many people that didn't kill themselves or were so inspired by the essence of a girl group in general,
Starting point is 01:11:13 but Danity Kane specifically. Over and over, throughout my whole entire life, I've just met so many people. We all have. So it's like something I want to protect, not just for the girls, but for the fans, for everybody. But I also now, like something I want to protect not just for the girls but for the fans for everybody but I also now like I need to be me and you know I think OnlyFans would damn near make everybody not talk to me ever again anyway at this point so I've done taken the road I'm taking and I have no fucking regrets good and I thought that D and I would be able to come into this next
Starting point is 01:11:46 phase together but it didn't work out the way I wanted and hoped it to and I was really looking out for her and bringing every opportunity I could her way and um I don't feel she did the same for me and that's hurtful you know it's hurtful. You know, it's hurtful, especially cause you guys, you guys share a huge chunk of your lives together, like a really cool part of your lives together. And to think that somebody has your back and then find out later on that they don't, it's just hurtful. And you know, when you get to a certain age, you don't want to be hurt anymore. You don't want to deal with the bullshit anymore. You don't want to have to guess if somebody has your back anymore. want to deal with the bullshit anymore you don't want to have to guess if somebody has your back anymore yeah i know i'm talking i literally said we we said all of that to each other i mean i
Starting point is 01:12:28 really got to like reconnect because she didn't ever come back for the reunions and she was the closest back in the day with me because we were roommates and she saw what was happening we both saw a little glimpse of what was happening in each other's lives but more detailed and we had a good understanding of each other at that time but after it got really like separated and weird when she didn't want to come back. And then I went on with the other girls and I had, for me, I'm the only, only child in Danity Kane and I'm the youngest. So I really thought that we were going to be sisters for life. And I thought that we were going to be friends for life and I thought that we were going to be friends for life same with Shannon Shannon when I got really close to her it felt like a blessing if I
Starting point is 01:13:11 didn't believe in if I'm just spiritual and don't have any pulse on a specific belief I felt like whatever she was in my life was my chance at understanding family then she did something that betrayed my trust in a like severe way and then it got harder and she really did stick in there and she really did you know she apologized she knows that I don't have family to a very deep extent she understood my life because she lived in my home and she was I was the the one that kind of like housed every reunion and every project all the merch was in my house all of the Shannon and I were like bringing the tours back doing everything like Shannon and I built dumb blonde after Don socked me in a studio and we were left with no project with nothing to move forward with Shannon and I were like after spending a year
Starting point is 01:14:10 doing this album and we just like we're like we sink or swim what are we gonna do and on a hike with my boyfriend I came up with dumb blonde went in the house and was like, I have an idea. And so, like, you know, we were just together through so much, and I really cherish what that was, and I really did believe we'd always be there. But with that breach of trust, a lot of other things I saw that weren't consistent with who I thought she was. And then if or if not she were
Starting point is 01:14:49 one of the people that signed the contract, that would be probably the last straw for me. Because if you want $300.30 to sign a full release of that man and everyone in the industry, basically. A full release. No legal claims to anything. That's fine. They're only paying you $330? The check that was cut for, it wasn't even Diddy. It's Sony who took over our publishing.
Starting point is 01:15:21 Right. Was now going to give us whatever it's made in streaming since they've owned our catalog because they bought our catalog out. So it was all guys. But it very cleverly in its writing protected a lot of people. And it happened right before Cassie dropped. I'm sure it was for protecting Diddy, the whole thing. That was my assumption. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:43 So that's why I told everybody don't do it. And when I found out from our lawyer who did, I just felt in my heart, like that's a line in the sand for me because now with everything that I know, and Shannon knows a little bit about it. I did send her some things and she was in shock. She was in, she was praying. She said, I'm praying. And I appreciate her prayers, but really what I would have appreciated is if she were to be one of the people that signed it, if she didn't, could go back and not, because you can't come forward and talk about any of it. And it would be really great to be able to sit down and call my group members right now and say, Hey, do you remember any of these certain things that are
Starting point is 01:16:29 I'm being faced with right now? Do you remember any of these details? Do you remember any of this? And you could help me with categories of situations that are horrific. Was there abuse at the same level as yours, or did they just get to witness your abuse? Uh, I, I can't speak on, I don't, I think I was treated differently than everybody. Um, but, uh, Dawn continued on with him. So she saw a lot from what she told me. Um, but again, you know, she wanted to come forward and speak and tell everybody what she said to me, she could help a lot of the victims and protect them, but she's not. And everybody can understand that as they will. If you were to have signed that contract, you wouldn't be able to come
Starting point is 01:17:26 forward and say anything right now. Crazy that they would choose silence over. And I don't know who or what, I'm not suggesting anything because I really am going to respect the text message that I got. But I, I think a little more protection in these times for each other as women would have been really crucial and way cooler than $300 and 30 cents yeah and I understand that maybe some people need the money or maybe some people thought there was some big play that they could have by owning the rights to the songs we wrote on but the songs we wrote on were never made singles of course on purpose they were some of our best songs but they were never made singles um and they likely they'd only pick up damaged show stop like our big singles if some campaign were to pick it up like in the future or they have already at this point multiple people have but that's not paying
Starting point is 01:18:21 our pockets by owning the publishing we don't own own the publishing on Damaged or Showstopper. Yeah. So, like, it really wasn't the get that anyone thought. And what it did was really show that, like, no one was really, I don't know. I asked everybody, hey, could you not sign it? I'll send you 300 bucks if you need it. Literally. Like, let's band together and be girls.
Starting point is 01:18:44 Let's not and maybe shannon if she were to have signed it maybe it would be because she doesn't want that anymore and that would make it so that would couldn't happen anymore yeah just final straw yeah like you know it's hard if it's hard when like shannon knows the power of like like she told me toward the end of dumb blonde, I'm like, this is how I see this going. Like I,
Starting point is 01:19:08 we could create this. I mean, I did the second album alone. Basically she came in for a couple of days at the very end, put her voice down on some tracks, did some shoots with me. And that was that I, I did the whole album.
Starting point is 01:19:20 Yeah. But like, but like, as I would tell her, we were on Danity Cain's tour while that album came out. And it was like, we're multitasking a lot of shit because Dawn came back and wanted to tour.
Starting point is 01:19:30 Right. So we were touring and then I was telling Shannon and she just was like, I, she has a husband at home and she needed to go home and she wanted to go home and she didn't want to do it anymore. And that didn't make sense to me. And she'd never had had a problem with any of that prior. And like, as I started to get into it with her at one point, she just, and I was like, I have this TV show that I think I can get us and blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 01:19:56 And she was like, I know it's a pass for me. And I was like, why? And she just was like, she had been doing a lot of reflection and journaling she was always really good at that and she said I think that I've been on this train way longer than I was meant to because I thought my purpose was here because your desire for all of this is so overwhelming and encompassing that I thought your dream and desire was mine too, but it isn't. And I, I don't have a rebuttal to that. I said, we have to respect that it hurts like crazy, but I can't tell a grown woman that's older than me at that. Like you don't get the right to feel that way. I wanted to say that. I mean, the most selfish only child defense of me,
Starting point is 01:20:57 if I had a dad and I had that protection, I wanted to say to her, you know what the goal was when we started this, you know what my vision was. I was never interested in anything temporary. That's why I've been building so long for the other project that got fucked up because of somebody else. And you know that I didn't want disappointment, abandonment, or any of that. We could turn dumb blonde into a podcast. We could have turned dumb blonde into so many things
Starting point is 01:21:23 that didn't necessarily require her to be on tour if her husband needed her home or whatever it was. Yeah. You could have definitely capitalized on all of that. A lot of it. I think it was. So for me, I never really got to say like, um, you don't get to give up. This is a partnership and you don't get to just decide that you don't like it anymore. I've built, spent years of building a brand with you. Yeah. But you know, I mean, I could, I've done dumb blonde with somebody else that is still at it and still competitive in the market like me. Yeah. There was a ton of girls I know that would have done it with me and I could still be releasing music
Starting point is 01:22:01 and doing that project. I don't really like being a solo artist. It's not fun on tour alone. You like to run in a wolf pack. I'm an only child that doesn't have stable, healthy parents or parenting. It's almost like you want that family. Yeah, that family, that friendship around you. Yeah, I want friendship friendship and friendship requires loyalty something I never saw to the the last person that came into my life on this crazy back of this horrible man that's being exposed now like we came back into each other's lives
Starting point is 01:22:40 on the phone at night for hours I literally told told her we need to, we need to just start recording our phone calls and put them on YouTube. It's more entertaining than half the, should I see anymore? You can't make people want to, you know, do. No, I mean, a little business deal changed all of that. And, and I just, I, I just got disappointed by Danity Kane for the last time. I just really, disappointed by danity kane for the last time i just really i have a slight interest in protecting the legacy but frankly like every time i'm asked it's kind of routine that anyone that's kind of still relevant that gets asked questions in the media says i'll always come back to danity kane there's only two of us left they are still like taking bigger inner I think probably just me but my other band mate still does like a little independent thing yeah she gets interviewed sometimes but like it's
Starting point is 01:23:33 always the move to just say you never know and I'll always come back but that's cute to say but are you bringing it all back and taking responsibility of everyone's feelings and desires and needs of all the girls because that's what I did every time I didn't just say oh I'll come back if everybody wants to I made it happen I brought the opportunities I brought my agents and makeup artists and that's the hustler in you though that's the that you can't make people hustle baby I've tried I've tried to do that with all my friends. She just never hustled for. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:06 You know, you can attach yourself to it all you want, but are you making it happen? Yeah. Never. Well, moving on from dumb blonde and the whole Danity Kane situation. Yeah. It's a rough one. Yeah. Obviously, you can see it's still a little fresh, the last piece.
Starting point is 01:24:20 No, for sure. And there's so much more. And if you guys want to know more about the whole Danity Kane situation, she's done other interviews. You can go Google and go listen to it. But I just feel like you have lived so many fucking lives. It's been crazy. So moving on, you go on The Apprentice. Yeah. And is this how you met Don Jr.? Obviously. Yeah. Tell me about the first time you saw Don Jr.r god I don't remember like the first time I mean it would have been during filming or prior to maybe during a it wasn't like butterflies fucking flew out from his asshole or anything like that it wasn't like an iconic moment that
Starting point is 01:24:56 you can remember because I know I remember the first time I met my husband I remember you know and I know that you and that's why he's your husband yeah literally but I know that you and Don have said to each other that you guys were soulmates yes and stuff like that I'll explain it I'm not attracted to physical things yeah yeah I love visuals like as much as I love visuals well you like Luke Bryan so I mean but I liked him because he gave dad he gave loyal he gave like brave and strong but the lyrics were sensitive and vulnerable. No, I love it. It was like, it was the attributes.
Starting point is 01:25:28 It wasn't like, I can't really tell you what he looks like. I just remember watching him thinking like that is a husband. Oh, wait till you see Luke Bryan get his little hip gyration on stage. You're going to love it. I mean, it was years ago, but I just remembered his name from that. I can't wait for you guys to meet each other tonight. I'm so thankful. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:25:46 No, so, so I can't wait for you guys to, to, I know. I'm so thankful. Thank you. Um, no, so, so, um, I don't remember. I think we met each other during, we did like big press and photo shoots and stuff before the competition started. I think we, I remember us talking then. I think the first time I saw him. So for me, that means you impressed me with your mind was something. I remember like, um, a witty little smart ass comment he made during the boardrooms and no one in the room catching it except us and we both chuckled and then looked at each other and then we just never stopped they literally like fun facts that no one knows and they just did a whole book I read it on the plane right here laughing like how Mark Burnett and Trump took over the world, which actually it's not false.
Starting point is 01:26:26 That writer is very accurate in that because they did create the reputation that made the world feel like they were in the right hands with him. Like there are funny stories about like at the beginning of Celebrity Apprentice when they first started up, the production company went in
Starting point is 01:26:43 and the Trump towers were like old wallpaper stale and they had to like redesign the whole shit and make it look like it was money yeah the helicopter the gold all of it that makes it look like it's all his flying in on his jet that says Trump not all of that was production I've had producers literally at dinners tell me have grief over feeling responsible for having created the persona behind a person that they now don't stand behind that's running the country. And I sat there and I thought to myself, well, more producers need to start feeling that fucking grief because these producers out here with reality TV stars, especially with how many there are now, they are not treated right. Reality TV stars, I mean, we're seeing a lot of it with Bravo and a lot of things that are coming out
Starting point is 01:27:30 with people speaking out about things. Reality TV, I never got into it. I have had so many opportunities to do reality shows and the settings and the environments in them were never for me. There aren't very many people that are taking responsibility over being, over understanding that we're all humans and we're not animals
Starting point is 01:27:49 that are there for your enjoyment. Literally. They just manufacture. It's very, like, a lot. It wasn't as much in the beginning. I mean, I had a producer from making the band at her wedding pull me in the bathroom and say to me,
Starting point is 01:28:03 I still know, like, the one time in my career where I really compromised myself was I had to go in and pull you out of a bathroom stall you were hiding behind the fucking toilet crying in a ball on the floor and I had to pick you up and put you back in a room where I knew you were going to get attacked by Diddy again. And against all my best judgment, did I want to do that? But I had to, my bosses were telling me to go get you. And she was the person I trusted on that set. The only one that could have got me to go back into that room. And she apologizes to this day for that multiple times now. So, so like I, I do, I did see more responsibility then there are responsible producers i'm still making television with some people that are responsible yeah but there's
Starting point is 01:28:52 there are so many shows i did for a couple years i didn't even watch them because the sets were so egregious yeah celebrity apprentice edit was like super that was the first time I really saw flagrant edits like they have an episode where Arsenio Hall's leading and he literally got a paper cut I think in the first two minutes and left the set for the whole day and I took over and won him his challenge and then like the whole episode makes it look like he's present the whole time and then someone asked for ideas and I gave the whole lined it up from start to finish how we're gonna execute the whole fucking plan my creative and then everybody's like thank you aubrey you saved the day like let's do this and in the edit on tv they show everybody looking like oh god here she goes again thinking
Starting point is 01:29:40 she knows it all and i was like okay y'all are fucked up for that edit. It's just how controlled TV is. It's wild. That one was the first one I saw like, oh, there's people with real money that run real shit behind this show. Cause they just took a whole ass scene and made it something they made a, this is, I'm watching scripted now. Yeah. This is not giving the reality of what happened in that room that day. So let's circle back to you and Don jr. When was the first time that you and Don Jr. were intimate? It was the night. This is a very controversial topic because for a long time,
Starting point is 01:30:15 the pressure on us was the franchise. Like I was told at certain points that edits were being sent over in the ninth inning to NBC, being re-edited at Mark Burnett. And this is allegedly because Mark Burnett didn't tell me this, but who I heard it from was pretty reliable. They were editing clips in the ninth inning because in boardrooms,
Starting point is 01:30:43 they always show Ivanka, Trump, and Don staring forward, looking at the cameras. And then they show the cast staring forward and looking straight ahead and they get those shots all the time. And in every single one of the shots, as the relationship started to be understood on the back end and the shows airing and everybody's like aware of the problem for the franchise like they were going in and tightly re-editing all the boardrooms because they said in most of the shots where everyone's looking forward don is looking at me and i'm looking at him and we're the only two whose heads are off and it was like visibly present in the edits and they were going back in and chopping shit down. And so it could not be noticeable.
Starting point is 01:31:29 Right. Which I don't remember if I even watched the show or if it was noticeable or not. It was the night, the finale of Celebrity Apprentice. I remember like Don called the hotel room. I was with my assistant. He asked me, it was down to a couple of us. He called me, this is some fucking shit I'm about to say,
Starting point is 01:31:50 but fuck it. What a place to do it though. And the guys are keeping it 100, raining in Nashville. I'm dressed like a hooker. Let's go. You look beautiful while you're spilling seeds all. Thanks, babe. So my assistant was in the room he called
Starting point is 01:32:07 me at the trump tower i think i don't know if that was the first time my assistant remembers he did it a few times she always spent the night with me and would help me because i was like making sure we were all dressed in the same outfits i was doing like the extra shit when we'd get off sex i wanted my team to always win and be the best and be color coordinated and perfect so i'd go on rent the runway and rent every get everyone dresses to make sure we all were like perfect because I couldn't trust their fashion um but so my assistant was with me and he called and he asked me did I want um help being in the finals being the final two didn't want him to make it happen for me basically um and I said no and that I I think then we kind of established like
Starting point is 01:32:57 we had talked a good amount at that point enough to understand he was like writing me on there were ways we were finding time to communicate with each other and I think at that time he realized oh she's not just using me to win this competition she likes me so he was like testing the waters to see probably I also should have won it and whoever won could have potentially had a must win in their contract because they had a big talk show that dropped right after that came back to NBC. But who knows? That's just allegedly. But if he could have potentially put me in the top two, I said no.
Starting point is 01:33:38 I want to do it on my own merit. And if I don't, then I don't care. I'm the last female standing. I felt far – I was used to winning would be the first show I did that I didn't win yeah but I was so like falling in love with him so deeply at that point and falling in love just by the conversations or just by working together was there stuff going on behind the scenes? Did you guys go on dates? Was there secret rendezvous?
Starting point is 01:34:07 No, no. You can't. You're locked down. I was going to say, you're locked down. But that show films for like, it airs for like two months. That was the longest show I've ever filmed and aired on television. It's a hefty show if you make it to the end. You're doing, it feels like centuries go by.
Starting point is 01:34:26 I suppose it isn't centuries but in hollywood you're working for huge companies every episode building movies and commercial i mean it's a real fucking competition show best show i've ever done frankly the edit was fucking garbage mark burnett should like seriously have regrets over some of those flagrant edits that he threw on me but um or whoever did over there but um I I told Don no and I think there was a conversation like this is serious isn't it yeah and then we did the finale I we all come back for the finale to raise get see who wins it by giving helping a team being picked for one team or another throwing a big event so Clay Aiken and I sang during it he was standing next to daddy I was singing like um daddy daddy Donald yeah Daddy, Daddy Donald. Yeah. I Will Survive by Donna Summers. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:27 That's the song Clay had me sing. I sang it like to Donald's face and whatever. And then after I was, I think I was hosting or I was getting paid to go to a gay club. And at the time, like everyone came back and Marco I think the son Marco's the son Andretti was uh supposed to be in it but there was this horrible crash in his world and then like one of his very good friends passed in it and so he dropped out last minute and his dad took his spot and I liked his dad during filming he came back to the finale and he kind of had a crush on me so he's dad did no oh okay so he so he like came to the he's like can i come like meet up with you i don't know bitch i was on i was on my shit at that point in time because i had marco andretti
Starting point is 01:36:19 and don trump jr here and here my assistant and my gay uh best friend who was my hairstylist and in on all this shit because for all kinds of reasons but he styled me during apprentice you weren't allowed to have your own teams but i had it in my contract but because that's how that's how i would move yeah but he was able to hear everything that was said in the boardrooms when they would take us out because he was watching the monitors with the rest of the hair and makeup who don't have personal relationships with anyone right so i got to learn a lot about what was being said about me behind closed doors which i shouldn't have been getting access to but i did yeah so i knew things that they were saying fights that they were having trump didn't feel i was pretty ivanka was fighting for me saying like, you can't keep like putting Miss Universe over somebody that's smarter.
Starting point is 01:37:07 Like this needs to be a real, like she's smart. Like she was taken up for me. Ivanka seems to me to be like a standup woman. I can't get into that. I can't. That's, I can't co-sign that,
Starting point is 01:37:19 that statement. Um, based off of Don's portrayal of things but um but anyways so um I went to a gay club and Marco Andretti and Donald Trump Jr. he showed up I couldn't believe it he showed up to a gay club everybody was gagged my whole team was looking at me like bitch we have seen you move but this is real you're fucking moving real serious right now and at that time maybe it wasn't so crazy that nowadays I mean when I said that on a podcast it went viral that Don and I were in a gay club the first time we had sex
Starting point is 01:37:58 um but like I remember going back and forth between Don and Marco, and Marco got dropped out pretty fast. Someone clutched in, kept him busy. Don and I were locked in, locked in. It was in every touch, every stare, every word. He's a handsome guy, and I don't like square dudes, but he's a handsome dude. He's got a little swag. I don't even, it's, he's got a little swag to him. I don't know if his visual is like necessarily attractive to people or not. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:38:41 Um, but he's got swag, you know, Donald Trump has swag too. They just, there's a reason why they're politicians. They're not, you know, they're not just fuddy duddies. They obviously have a mouthpiece on them and know how to have a conversation and how to persuade and how to talk. So I could see where the allure would be. Yeah, I never saw it in dad as much, but. She's like, not dad. But Don is deaf. Don is clever and witty and very smart. And every conversation was interesting and every conversation was a challenge and a brain challenge. Who can outsmart the other and how much more do they know than the other? It was so fun for me.
Starting point is 01:39:21 I was so stimulated on every level. That's your sapiosexual you like to be stimulated by through your mind which I mean every a lot of women do yeah why I know so much of his life right now likely is fraudulent in my opinion allegedly because it just doesn't fit who I know him to be unless other people aren't who they are showing themselves to be I don't know but um so did you guys end up having sex? Yeah. So long story. I'm like, I'm like, I'm invested now. So I told my Don and I, I don't know if we planned on, I think we wanted to make out for sure. We didn't want anyone seeing us. And I told my, my hairstylist who was like, knew all the people at the club in New York and
Starting point is 01:40:04 was coming to the gig with me so we went I remember he brought me over to the bathroom with Don and there was like this big ass black guy outside of the bathroom he was like no one's coming in like this is for whatever and he was like listen this is this and this he's like I don't care dog and there was like a little bit of a dispute and I think either he had to kiss him right somebody I had to kiss him somehow something with a bodyguard happened in order to get me and Don into this fucking bathroom I'd have to like go back and ask all them what happened that night so your hairdresser had to kiss no I don't maybe it was me something got worked out that was wild but he let us in this bathroom that was like this big yeah there was like a full
Starting point is 01:40:46 blown like chase in the bathroom and all kinds of shit we definitely didn't think we were gonna hook up i wasn't i didn't know any of it was gonna happen because the whole like joke and our relationship started at that night which was we started making out we started to have we were trying to have sex trying because i was still in my dress from the finale and that dress was tight as fuck like an all diamond gold dress and it took forever to get the fucking dress unzipped and once it unzipped i had the most the craziest spanks you've ever fucking seen on bitch like they didn't even have the hole in the crotch or anything they were like all the way up to here down to here so he had to like so sexy you know how your girlfriend has to like get you out of a fucking spanks moment how it's you would never do that if you were going on a date you'd never deal with the dude
Starting point is 01:41:41 they have to like get it down past your fat rolls in order to get into you. Yeah. He did all that. And so he worked for the pussy. He he got those spanks all the way down. And we had sex. And I remember like he would call me like spanky after that. Like we would just joke about like how we had the most ridiculous sex in the middle of a gay club.
Starting point is 01:42:04 So you go home that night. What do you say to yourself? You're like, I just had sex with Donald Trump Jr. in a gay club bathroom after making out with the fucking. I think it was me that made out with the bodyguard. The bodyguard. In your mind, are you like, I'm going to pursue this? I want to be with this man.
Starting point is 01:42:21 Or did you think of it as more of like a flash in the pan? I don't remember. I'd have to ask my assistant. She has like stellar memory of all these things. Half the time she reminds me of these, of what, cause she was with me in the hotel room at every stage of this. She would have been there that night as well. I probably talked to her the whole night about it.
Starting point is 01:42:38 I don't know. I remember like shortly after, maybe I still had to do some like final things, like photographs or takes or something like that at the after we were wrapped but I was probably in the Trump hotel for maybe like a few days after um and I remember he called me um and we had like a serious talk about does this continue? And I was just like, I just feel like you're my soulmate. Like I didn't say the word soulmate.
Starting point is 01:43:13 He said it first to me. But I said, I just feel like I can't stop this. And he's like, I feel that too. I mean, did you guys talk about his wife at all? So I know this was like a long conversation I don't honestly remember all the details but I do remember me saying something like like we we just seem to be like so aligned in every way like made for each other like perfect for each other and he said like is the perfectly made man for you married and I said I don't I don't know I need to understand that better so I think it probably in the very beginning might have been like a lot of conversations about what their marriage looks like.
Starting point is 01:44:12 Right. I heard enough without being disrespectful to her. I heard enough to have at the time felt like they had an understanding. Kind of like an open marriage. his end i'm sure i don't know about i know he had he told me he had cheated before i don't know if she had caught him but he had only physically cheated he had never like mentally fallen in love with any of the girls. I think there were like two people before me, but he explained it in a way and I was naive enough. It changed for me. And I said this on Michael Cohen's podcast, but it changed for me after I saw my best friend give birth years later. When I saw a child come out of her, first time I've ever seen that, I realized what a woman does for a man when they have a child for them. And that put a lot of grief
Starting point is 01:45:16 on me for a while over how naive I was to think that all of this was okay with her. I don't know that it was as okay as maybe I thought it was or he described it as. He said enough to me about their relationship that made me feel very comfortable knowing that as he's living there and I'm on the phone with him all day and all the way up. We had talked all day long until tree time. We called it tree time. He'd walk home from Trump to his house,
Starting point is 01:45:50 and that was, like, our time to, like, climb up in our tree and, like, be best friends and lovers until he went into his life, and I'd have to wait till the morning to have my best friend back. Do you miss him? the morning for to have my best friend back do you miss him I don't remember him unless I'm asked to talk about it and then like we had a final conversation and it was recorded conversation and it was recorded. Um, and I listened back to it when I was doing all of my psychedelics and alternative healing and Bali or any other place I went where psychedelics are
Starting point is 01:46:38 illegal because I would never do anything illegal in a place where things are illegal. But, um, do anything illegal in a place where things are illegal but um when I was going through my healing stages I listened to it for the first time like all of it back and you know when everyone's when daddy came to be president and everyone started to come forward and they all kind of had the same nickname and you saw what a problem it was and how many girls had the same experiences I was like oh my god like that's what I was for the son I like would identify with Stormy Daniels who by the way is actually like witty and very interesting I'm friendly with her and I like her a lot. So I wouldn't mind the comparison. She's very, she's smart. She's very interesting.
Starting point is 01:47:30 I feel like Twitter, I love her. I feel like the Trumps secretly love blondes, but marry brunettes. Oh, do I miss him? I can't say that. The phone call. What was that? The phone call, I like, so I was doing PTSD shrooming
Starting point is 01:47:44 and I would take like very large doses of shrooms. It wasn't like a date, how people micro micro dose. It was like, I had never done them before. And I was taking like 12 grams or something. Most people take like two or three. Yeah. Um, you're a fucking brave soul. That's a lot.
Starting point is 01:48:02 People don't realize that's a lot to DMT, mushrooms, all that shit. None of that happened under the title of bravery. If I were wearing a mask, I would tell you that. But I didn't care about living anymore. So maybe I could find a reason or a purpose or an understanding that I didn't have if I tried to go to a different realm. None of it was ever done to get high or party. It was all done in like facilities with therapists and people guiding me. And I'd have to like, you know, drop down into the highs with like cacao ceremonies and breath work. And then I had to
Starting point is 01:48:38 like write lists of intentions of like anything I think that could be traumatizing me in my life. Mom was a big one. I thought when she started to cover my mom when I was dropped down under, because she would record the sessions or diary them. I have all of it. Yeah. I look back on it and she brought up like some really heavy stuff that I thought was living inside me about my mom.
Starting point is 01:49:03 Like when I first arrived, I saw a girl having an experience with shrooms and she was crawling on like grass, clutching it and saying she wanted to fucking be like let out of her body. And I looked at it and I was like, oh, fuck this shit. And then I like turned around and I was like, bitch, what are you going to do? Go home and not want to live another day. You, you got to push yourself. Now's time to figure out if we, we take some pills and go sleeping night nights. Like that's where I was at with it. Yeah. I had them ready. So I, I saw the girl clutching the grass and I was like, that's going to be me. The second she brings up my mom, she brought brought up my mom she brought up some very severe memories and I just had one tear it's
Starting point is 01:49:50 documented one tear ran down my face and she said tell me what that tear is and I said up being so neat. I ended up being such a neat kid who became super... I went and got healing. I was on an Adderall Ambien cocktail life for 20 years. I went and left the country and seeked healing, got off of pills and learned about my pain and my trauma. And I dealt with every horrible thing that was living inside of me. And I let go of being Aubrey O'Day and everything that meant. So you go death. day and everything that meant so you go death yeah i murdered that person off and like i'm pretty neat when i'm not her in the the one that the world knows right and i did it all by myself with no help and i didn't even know where what bali was or where i was going or what the fight
Starting point is 01:51:03 was i went into bal Bali as it became a red zone during COVID and every red zones where everyone was dying right on the map yeah I never saw one person have COVID the entire time I was there but either way I was like um what the fuck am I doing every day what the fuck am I doing like I just had no will to live anymore I was I was done well I mean that you went through a lot. How long were you with Donald for? Don Jr.? A long time.
Starting point is 01:51:30 Like years? A long time. I mean, that's got to be heavy. Because you got to think all this trauma that you're suffering. You went through the childhood. You went through Danity Cain. You went through Don Jr. You went through, you know, Travis Garland.
Starting point is 01:51:43 Back to back. When I first met Travis, I just always dreamt, like I saw you say this in an interview, I want to fucking marry a rock star. Like I wanted to be with a man that sung me to sleep, that had this fucking voice better than anyone. And it doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes and hot and just one of the best vocalists I've like been around in life. I was more famous and made way more money. He was struggling to get by and way more talented and had to feel all the things a very talented person feels when they see somebody else getting everything they want. So he had to love me and also be a bit jealous of me too and it didn't work yeah jealousy never works
Starting point is 01:52:26 in a relationship then i was attracted to a guy who was you know three years with travis the singing was like can you shut the fuck up it wasn't like i can die in a ditch and be broke with you if you just sing to me it'll be okay that all the mucus that everyone just put in their fucking toilets is dripping down me in the sewer no after three years of that I realized I need a man that actually is going to be where they say they're going to be in three years his was a millionaire and Justin Bieber every year and it just never happened and while all that was occurring we were living in my house on my dime it was, you don't want to pay for everything and then fuck your man after you paid for everything on vacation. It's like, you can come on vacation with me, but if I don't want to fuck, go to your side and leave me alone.
Starting point is 01:53:18 Well, it's a, it's a, it's a balance of power to in the relationship. And that, I'm sure that that hurt him he was more talented than me and I'm not saying I'm not talented I'm not putting myself down when I say that however I can recognize the truth Travis was far more talented than me as a singer yeah not as a star but as a singer he was and he did so much to inspire dumb blonde, me taking myself seriously. I mean, he came in my house and was like, first thing, let me look at your wardrobe. Opened my closet and was like, you were taking everything with color out. He taught me how to dress Kanye colors, beige tones, brown tones, black tones, filter my shit right. Like he kind of
Starting point is 01:54:06 started me on a cool vibe. Right. I just realized in three years, every time I used to see him three years prior going like this on Instagram and a photo thinking, oh my God, he's so fine. I was the one taking those and it took three hours to get that pose and he did it 50 times and it really wasn't that fucking sexy yeah you just well what happened is the allure and the mystique behind it comes off I trust me there's been a few musicians that I've been like oh my god he's so fine and then I meet him in person and I'm like nope because it's like you met Travis in person you'd be totally attracted to them no No, I like men. He's such a charming winner in person, but. I like men that wear makeup. That's my thing. I'm trying to think if he wears makeup.
Starting point is 01:54:50 He might. I don't think so. I mean, maybe when he's. I don't really even know. I don't know what he does now. I don't know who Travis Garland is. I just know that you've dated him. Well, you should check out his music.
Starting point is 01:54:57 He's incredible. He's an incredible singer. He's married now. I think he's got kids from what I hear. Yeah. But no, he was very inspiring in a time in a place but he wasn't right for me I hated leaving the relationship I was sick I held on to that with all my fucking might and when it was let go of I went straight to tv and the first guy that
Starting point is 01:55:20 sat in front of me was Pauly and it was out of that into this like that and that was back to back Don Jr Travis Polly like it all was back to back very long relationships all of them so then after Polly I I was so down bad I I didn't have that's a lot I didn't have sex for a year after Polly and then I went to Bali during COVID I didn't have sex for a year after Polly. And then I went to Bali during COVID. I didn't have sex for like two and a half years, two and a half, three years. During Bali, somebody asked me that and they were like, are you fucking serious? And I was like, is that weird? No.
Starting point is 01:55:55 I've just been out here healing, living. I'm not really attracted to anyone. I don't feel the need to like have somebody text messaging. I used to have 10 guys on ready it gets exhausting i don't i don't need anyone my husband and i were talking about that last night we were laying in bed and we were watching this uh series and in the series these it's like almost 50 year old couple is like they're going on their first date together and i looked and they were like telling each other everything about each other's lives and i looked over to to Jay and I was like, babe, I love you, but we are riding this motherfucker out. And we like dabbed because
Starting point is 01:56:28 I was like, I'm not doing that shit. He agreed. He's like, man, I can't. He's like, I'm cringing right now thinking about having to tell somebody my whole life story. I'm like, there's no way. And sometimes you just don't want to fucking do that, you know? And that's okay. I listen, and that's okay. I listen, I feel that so deeply. I, I'm like, because I adore you. I'm so happy that you have that. I wish I did. Thank you. It's been a lot of work, you know, and I try to always keep it real with everybody. Like Jay and I are fucking amazing now. And it has been smooth sailing for us so far, you know, this, this end of our relationship, but man, in the beginning, it was rough. It was toxic. He was a struggling musician too. Despite some people always want to be like, Oh, Jay, Jay was famous.
Starting point is 01:57:09 Jay, you know, everybody knew who Jay was. No, the fuck they didn't. Nobody knew who my husband was unless she lived in Kentucky, fucking Ohio, um, Indiana and Tennessee. That was it. Like when I first got with him, he was a struggling artist too too and I was making a shit ton of money in the beginning you know so it's you know it it was very rough we had a very how quickly did he become famous within you getting with him well you know I married a rapper right I heard you say that but then I know jelly rap sometimes so I was thinking is she considering him a rapper no he was he is a rapper my husband is no I know he raps that's what you're talking about so you write a different rapper no no my husband oh yeah no i know he's right yeah yeah his whole i heard you say that and i was like is she meaning like a thug like a rapper yeah but i guess i was like jelly rap so he is a rapper his entire discography is that what they call it yeah
Starting point is 01:57:59 until they until you get up until the two fucking country albums that he's well, the second one, he's about to drop the first one. That's he's his entire fucking catalog is rapping. I love that. He's a great rapper. You guys are like such a typical understanding for the country world that to me, when I looked into your guys's story, I just fell in love with it. You know, because it felt like I wanted to come visit this area because music is my life yeah I wanted to come visit this area but it just felt a little too I wouldn't be I couldn't take this person to every room I rolled rolled through like I couldn't bring this person around the thugs and yeah but jelly's like you
Starting point is 01:58:40 could bring he was a thug he's He's invited to the cookout, okay? He's definitely invited to the cookout. You can take him anywhere. No, and then he did that. I was more bougie than he was. Like, I'm West Coast, you know? I grew up in Vegas, grew up on the streets of LA. Fucking, you know, like, that was my life. So, you know, meeting him and us coming together,
Starting point is 01:59:00 it was a beautiful disaster. And I'm just thankful that it has turned out the way it did. But to answer your question, husband uh dropped save me he was always he his music was gaining traction but it wasn't to the level that i met with a guy that told the comedian guy that did that he showed me a video he did during covid see i wasn't here so i missed that he got the jelly got famous for that i knew more of the serious like i love the lyrics obviously he kills on lyrics because he's vulnerable and honest about the dark days and we love that shit yeah even his raps were like that i'll have to send you some yeah i have to hear them i love i heard rapper jelly like the country stuff but i was like i don't know if he's
Starting point is 01:59:39 serious about this because if the covid thing was no rapper jelly is is a boss really is he gonna rap tonight no no he won't but rapper jelly is a a boss really is he gonna rap tonight no no he won't but rapper jelly is a boss and i tell him all the time i'm like baby bring it back just one more time wait do you make him talk shit do you like that in bed before you fuck my husband is so he is the sweetest little teddy bear dude like i'm the wild one and my husband's like come cuddle with me you know he's just my big teddy bear um but yeah we do when we would get drunk and you know have wild nights like that i would make him do some crazy shit but for the most for the most part the hubby's a sweetie pie um but he didn't get really famous until the last what three two
Starting point is 02:00:17 and a half years two and a half years so how long into how long have you guys been together eight years yeah so you held on longer than I could, but Travis never became anything. I never, my thing is, is like, I always wanted to, you know, I always say the rockstar thing because my dad was a musician, you know, so I wanted to marry somebody like my dad. And I always envisioned as a little girl, like I was going to be Tawny Katane and I was going to fucking dance on somebody's fucking, you know, old school car in a music video. Like to me, that was, that was my happy ending, you know, like, and I just knew that I was always going to have my own shit going on. So I didn't really
Starting point is 02:00:53 care what my husband had going on as long as he was chasing his passion. And that to me was, how quickly did you fall in love with them? Cause I saw an interview where you said you guys fucked right away. Yeah. But what, well, that's how i move well girl listen i'm not fucking throwing any shade your way i fucked on the first night ish too after all the cameras were gone the first night i met my husband i he has had sex but did you love did you fall in love with him instantly no so the first night my husband and i met we didn't have sex i was with somebody else i was in a very abusive relationship and it was a nightmare. I had been with this person for like three or four years. Um, but I met Jay and when I met him, he was not my type. He was not somebody that I was into at all. I'm not his type. He likes little brunettes, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we just both had this weird, strange
Starting point is 02:01:41 attraction to each other, but we swagger probably for you. But yeah, it was just his little Southern charm. He's so cute. Um, I'll have to call it so you can meet him and talk to him after this. But, um, you know, I just was so attracted to him and I didn't know what it was. And then a year, uh, about five months later, my ex ended up going to prison and his manager at the time was like one of my friends. And I was like, tell Jolly to call me, you know, give him my number. And so Jay started calling me and like, you know, we were just kind of like feeling each other out. And then he came to stay with me to record some music videos. I had a penthouse in Vegas and he came and stayed with me and my girls. And, you know, we just kind of fell in love and we ended up getting married.
Starting point is 02:02:22 But like right then, like a couple of days later. Yeah. We got married after being together. He was like, I'm not letting you out of my motherfucking 30 days. He wasn't going to let anyone else come near you. You know, and actually we are a man. No, we fought about it too. Cause I was like, I am not marrying you. And he's like, but you're going to marry me. And he's like, you're not going to be doing this line of work for the rest of your life. He's like, I probably, the, before we walked, I was, uh it i was uh i was a high-priced call girl so i made a shit ton of money like okay by the way you know like everyone that's real famous right now was doing that back when i was in danity k for sure come on now yes for sure i
Starting point is 02:02:59 yeah yeah i was like i was like escorting isn't what everybody nowadays they know what because it's just you go to only fans well there's different levels to the shit too yeah i was like half these bosses out here are doing they're moving yeah but i always had like side projects going on you know like it wasn't always just can you tell me about that please because i'm so curious what that life feels like do you do you connect to people physically or you can detach from them like when i have sex with someone i see it as like a soul exchange so like why I didn't have sex for like that long period of time I was just really like I connected my soul with someone that was so bad and I got so unhealthy after yes that I realized I cannot I have to know your soul before
Starting point is 02:03:42 your dick is in me so I I and I have talking to talk in the mic oh sorry sorry I have to know your soul before your dick is in me. So I, and I have friends that still- Talk in the mic. Oh, sorry. Sorry. I have friends that still escort and do that kind of stuff. And I'm like, don't you, is it just a me thing? Or are you, how are you able to connect from allowing the transfer of energy to enter you in that profession?
Starting point is 02:04:00 Yeah. So I was on a lot of Xanax and cocaine and I was drugged up drinking all the time. So I never, if you knew you had to go show up somewhere, you would make sure that you were. So I worked. Yeah. And I, in my mind I was working sober because I wasn't sloshed, but I was always under the substance of something, you know? And when you're that low vibrational, you're not thinking about exchanging souls you're thinking about surviving and that's where i was you know like i had came from such a long line of trauma and just been through so much shit that to me it was like oh i'm just i'm gonna the way i looked at it was like i'm gonna take this motherfucker's money you know and that's where that's how
Starting point is 02:04:38 everybody in my company looks at it like that yeah literally that's how i'm like the the the transactional element of sex like the transactional like money business of it i'm watching play out in front of my eyes kind of in front of the world i see i know a lot of girls like and i don't i'm front i like all of them yeah and i and i try to think like how does it feel what does it feel like like i try to understand just it's powerful for some and for some it, it it's like it's damaging vibrationally. Yeah. I was molested as a child. So my thing was, I didn't, I hated men. And it was like, if you're going to cheat on your wife, then you deserve to pay me. If you want to touch me, you have to pay me. I've heard that a lot, you know? So it, but for every girl, it's different. I don't, um, I don't glamorize
Starting point is 02:05:24 the lifestyle because you know my situation was completely different i knew my worth and i demanded my worth one of my sugar daddies was donald trump one of donald trump's best friends and he was a asshole and every bit of money that he gave me you took i fucking deserved yeah literally because he fucking was so mean to me like you, you know, it's not that to me if you don't, if, if I'm, if that I'm being too intrusive, just girl, I'm an open book. Okay. Can you tell me like, what is it? What happened? Like with someone like him, because he was not cool. Um, I can picture it if it were a cool exchange, what does a not cool
Starting point is 02:06:00 exchange look like? Like you walk in and they make you do something weird immediately or like he would tell me so i even i have him on video like i have these videos that if i ever wanted to i could release them but i would never do that um he would tell me you're fucking you're fat you need to get your body redone then why was he paying so much to have you there but me being the strong person i am i'd be like okay well then uh pay to get my body am, I'd be like, okay, well then, uh, pay to get my body done. And he'd be like, okay. And so we'd get fucked up or whatever. And the next day I'd go to the fucking surgeon and be like,
Starting point is 02:06:30 okay, so I need 35,000 to get my, you know, this, this, and this done. Like he would pick you up, pick me apart.
Starting point is 02:06:36 He would be like, what are you doing with your life? You're a fucking hooker. You know, like just talk shit and just be emotionally abusive. He must be, he must be he must be shit on all day to be a man that needs to find a woman to take it out on after hours
Starting point is 02:06:50 yeah you you have to imagine because i but a lot of women that would break them down yeah he just didn't realize breaking me down hearing that someone even said that to you seeing how beautiful you are and i love you and i just rolled up to a fucking multi-million dollar home in the fucking I I really want to love Nashville but this rain's killing me but it's not like this all the time thunderstorms during the middle of fucking summer I was like this is summer in Nashville I don't know if I can live here now I could barely see through the window it's not like this all the time okay because he was like this is how it is in summer I'm like this is no who wants to live like this no no no no I would go crazy this is like Seattle if in summer. I'm like, this is summer. Who wants to live like this? No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 02:07:25 I would go crazy. This is like Seattle if it rained like this all the fucking time. Yeah, except that I was like, this is summer. I was like shocked and the thunder and the lightning is like intense. But I just rolled up to a very wealthy area and beautiful home. So to me, I look at you as such, I know you're a boss bitch and you're worth just physically without even knowing you. So to me, it hurts me to hear that someone even spoke to you like that in life.
Starting point is 02:07:49 But to me, like it, it never hurt me because I was like, motherfucker, you're paying me, you know, like, but to a lot of other manipulation. Exactly. And, but you know, a lot of women that would break them down and that would make them hurt and that would add to their trauma. And for me, I somehow already were hurt. Exactly.
Starting point is 02:08:09 Well, I, well, nobody gets into sex work because they had a perfect childhood. And if they do, then they're just, they're searching for something else. You know,
Starting point is 02:08:16 there's something else that they would need the answer to life about, you know, at 99% of women that are in sex work have some sort of, you know, childhood trauma, whether it be sexual, emotional, abusive. Can I tell you that, that I want to touch on this because I've had such a strong reaction from people with OnlyFans. I've slightly, it's a, let's not play like OnlyFans tries to act like you can be a sports star and
Starting point is 02:08:46 show your sports workout and make millions over there right it's a sex website right now at least yeah um like i'm assuming that's listen i love only fans they're so amazing but like i think most people go on there to see sexuality for the most part. I know people play different things on there. I get the hustle for a lot of people, but it's made me have to really be bold about my sexuality and understand. Well, take your power back to take my power and not like I used to like kind of tell somebody now I'm like, I'm not only fans, is that an issue? Like, and if a man has a problem with you, all men have a problem with it. I immediately get treated differently. No, I don't.
Starting point is 02:09:27 I, the, the way people come at me once they learn that element, it's so different and it's different than anything. You need a drug dealer. Well, no, that's what I'm saying. I'm like, I'm starting to realize if I, cause I just make so much money that I'm like, it's, it could be an insecurity thing. I'm not compromising myself. I feel perfectly fine. I'm totally in control of that I'm like, it's, it could be an insecurity thing. I'm not compromising myself. I feel perfectly fine.
Starting point is 02:09:46 I'm totally in control of what I do. Yeah. So, so for me, I'm just like, and I, I like being sexual and feeling that in myself again. I mean,
Starting point is 02:09:55 I went for three years and didn't have a man near me. I didn't even kiss anyone. Like if I want to be sexual and embrace it, but when this diddy shit started happening and all this stuff started occurring, I started asking myself, like, is this a result of some like grooming as a child? Maybe even younger. you put and this is my assessment of you just from sitting here with you for the past two and a half hours is I think that you have so much hurt from your father that you're not recognizing I don't care about him at all even though you don't my mom yes I'm hurt as fuck by her even though you don't be offended the rest of my life there's still a wound there and there's still a little girl searching for a dad that like, could my mom be my dad and
Starting point is 02:10:45 my mom that I'm looking for? I think I tell everybody, I tell everybody I have mommy and daddy issues. Like you can have both and you don't have to have one, you know, you can have one parent represent both those issues. Cause my mom had to be my mom and my dad. I will. I feel like that she is all you've ever known. But I do think like when you were a little girl, did you ever see like dads with their little girls and like yearn for that? Because that's normal. Like did you ever have- I'm an only child and I,
Starting point is 02:11:15 my best friends were all gays in theater. Yeah. I didn't have, I don't really have a lot of real, I got famous so young. young yeah so my only real friends are from before that and i have a couple that like they like they were the popular girls in school and they really came around when i got famous and took a liking to me and they were cool with me during that time too and they might not be seen out in public with me everywhere but they were my friends then too yeah it was cooler to be my friend later on in life for sure
Starting point is 02:11:48 but you know they all have regular lives so we can't so I just don't that element I don't have I don't I don't it could be stem from your mom too but anything you know that's happened they say that trauma starts in the womb like your your mom could have been upset. It could have been, uh, you know, you, you could have heard your mom and your dad arguing. Like there could have been so many things that have happened. And then on top of that, then you have the diddy shit, you know, and it's just like there, you just have a lineage of, you know, this is where it started and this is where it's continued and you just have to now that you've gone to Bali though and like done all of this work have you tried dating again since ever since you came back from Bali have you noticed that you've been able
Starting point is 02:12:35 to to you know stop some of these patterns or are you still going for the same kind of guy? Definitely went for something completely different when I got home. Well, you were fresh off the healing journey. Fresh. I was like overhealed by the time I left. I started going to all the healing things every day and looking at everyone. I'd go to poetry, spoken word nights, and prophets would go up there and talk about their country and big pharma and this, that, and do it super poetic and this justice like this. And I'd be like, fucking in it, like in the world.
Starting point is 02:13:20 I was in the fucking culture. I was in it. But then I started going to them and being like well if it was so bad then what the fuck are you doing here go home go start your own political party go organize and assess and change shit for your country change shit for people in it you're sitting over that's the analytical side of you too i just i started looking at everybody like y'all are a little bit fraudulent. I love that y'all want to be healers here, but all y'all motherfuckers are not healers. Most y'all are faking healing. So you could stay in a nice area cause you don't
Starting point is 02:13:53 want to go back home or maybe you don't have a direction in life, but y'all motherfuckers aren't all healers. Yeah. There's a lot of fake positivity. Yeah. It rings true in bali it was less true during covid because you couldn't get in so i was really there with the people but there i did see a lot of false prophets listen i don't know if they're false prophets i would i would in my opinion feel a little bit of flagrant uh flagrant energy coming off of certain people and And I just started to realize like, all I've done is run away and recenter in a place that's really easy to recenter. Can I do it at home? Right. And so since you've been back, have you applied everything that you learned in Bali? Or are you still dating the same types of men? Right now I'm not dating at all.
Starting point is 02:14:47 When I first got back from Bali, I only dated one guy and I, he was clear with me from the very beginning that he doesn't feel he can fall in love with a woman. He's never, he was like a little younger than me, but we had always, he had stayed friends with me does he want to fall in love with a man no he just said he doesn't have that he's got his own trauma i think from his parents and other things he doesn't okay so just saying in general he can't fall in love with anybody he said i we were been friends for so long he was like i don't i'm scared to have sex with you because i don't want to lose our friendship and i was like i've detached from aubrey o'day I don't want to lose our friendship. And I was like, I've detached from Aubrey O'Day. I don't need all the most powerful dick in the country and only that. And only like
Starting point is 02:15:32 fairy tale ish fake things like I made with Polly in my mind, like all that's done. I can casually be with somebody and just get off for the sake of getting off. And this guy's great and he's super nice to me and we're great friends. That ended in a pregnancy and a whole thing. So what happened with the pregnancy? Didn't work out. So that situation got really muddy. I realized the whole time I thought I was able to be detached and not care and not, I was like becoming, I was outside of myself. I was jealous. I was stalking. I was not stalking like physically,
Starting point is 02:16:18 but like Instagram scrolling, checking for, checking up on on reaching out instead of being reached out to all the time like I wasn't being courted I was you were doing the chasing having sex with a guy every couple days we'd meet up and have sex and the sex is like a soul exchange for me for him it isn't and he tried to explain that to me in the beginning and I thought that I was healed and have ventured outside of myself so much that I could take on a relationship like that and I absolutely failed miserably and it didn't end well it was like um just traumatic for us both probably yeah and I look back on it like fuck like I really did he really was like a friend or maybe he wasn't is this pros that you're talking about no that's so so you're I totally
Starting point is 02:17:11 forgot about that one so yeah there's pros too there's this guy and then there's pros um yeah pros was interesting but um no he this was a different guy. And I just the relationship. I realized, like, well, I thought I could just come back here and join OnlyFans and pop up on this man's dick every couple of days and not catch feelings. Be freed from all the ties and boundaries and titles and entitlement and all the bullshit. Holy fuck. I got taken. I went through like a whirlwind fast of like, what is my identity and what am I seeking and what am I attracting? And why did all of this just get so out of fucking pocket? And then I was like, okay, I'm going to chill. So I didn't have sex for like a year. And then I was like, okay, I'm going to chill.
Starting point is 02:18:04 So I didn't have sex for like a year. Then P.R.A.W.S. came along. Have you ever done traditional therapy that isn't on a reality show? Yeah. Half the time, if I'm being real with you, I'm so observant of people that I'm talking, like we've said when we're on set, we can multitask. I've been seeing every time he thinks something's funny or he's trying to end it and looking at his clock.
Starting point is 02:18:27 I've peeped like everybody I can in this room. I've seen, listen, the most handsome gentleman over here with his tongue out for the past two hours. I've been trying to wake him up because he's over here sawing logs. That tongue has been increasing this entire time it's almost to the couch it is literally my favorite thing in the world right now so um but no i've i'm assessed so much that like when i'm sitting with normal therapists i can see the cracks in there that i'm the same way one was projecting one i saw her look at the clock when i was saying
Starting point is 02:19:03 something very meaningful to me and i was like oh this bitch is just working for a dollar and then when i got back with paulie after paying yeah let's talk about thousands and thousands of dollars i went right back to the chaos after we everybody thought we broke up on marriage boot camp but he came right back and i went right back into vegas and i'm in his whatever his nice car was. I don't remember. He has all these fucking cars that are his, you know, they all give him his power in his mind. You know, they're all his. They're all what makes him him. I was so unimpressed by it, by even in the beginning, but by the end.
Starting point is 02:19:37 So I feel like you guys had a really sour go because you like you talk, you talk, you even talk about Diddy like so much more endearing than you talk about Polly. Yeah. I there's elements. So how long are you guys together? Not the guy that I received, like during the TV show that Polly, the one that everyone sees in front of the world, Oh my God, fell for him. It's just not at all. It's like, you know, when you see those pictures of what you thought you were buying and then once it comes and it's like a fucking raincoat and it looks like Versace in the picture, that's what it was like straight up. Everything that I thought it was going to be, I slowly realized none of that is what
Starting point is 02:20:22 happens when we're behind closed doors and we had to be behind closed doors a lot because I had a lot of like you know instantly out the gate like there's a lot of parts of this relationship I don't explain because they're so less traumatic than the more serious things he did but like in the beginning one of my first things like I'm never been with a girl and announced a girl as my I had a girlfriend publicly. Like, you're the first one. Like, you can't follow anyone. You have to undo all your followers.
Starting point is 02:20:50 My assistant had to unfollow, like, 20,000 fucking people because at that time on Twitter, you had to, like, unfollow them one by one. And he put a time limit on it. And if it didn't happen, then I wasn't getting the fucking job. And, like, my assistant was, like, I remember, like, calling her and she was crying and her dad was sick. And my assistant was like, I remember calling her and she was crying and her dad was sick and she was like, I'm fucking trying. I'm deleting them as fast as I can. Is this fucking for real?
Starting point is 02:21:12 Are we really having to do this? This is stupid. And I was like, get it done, Jules. Hurry up. That was the start of just an example of these rules. Not follow anyone. I couldn't have my cleavage showing. Oh, you want to go have your own place with a pool where you walk out in a bathing suit in front of
Starting point is 02:21:33 other guys that live in that complex? You think that's what a wife does? No, you're not a wife if you do that. You want to be my wife or do you want to go do that? He kind of paints it to the public as if, yeah, I rules don't don't be with other men but I'm like no that that really wasn't the rule I was never with any other men I'm so fucking loyal I I was however like a personality I was my own star I mean on dumb blonde's birthday I remember like you know my first year without Shan saw a lot of the abuse of our relationship early on. She hated him. And then I kind of went with him and with him means everyone starts to get iced out. I had to, I couldn't be friends with any gay guy. He didn't feel gay was real. Gay was just guys that want to be in the room while you're getting changed. They could see some quick titty.
Starting point is 02:22:22 Like I had so many roles roles my gay best friend from before he was gay and we we would like each other in college to after being full-blown gay uh you know a lawyer and prominent with a boyfriend I had to cut him completely out of my life and that was a friendship that was so hard um there was just so many things like if I left Vegas and came to LA he was clocking it I didn't know how I didn't I a guy found uh I got my car cleaned and the guy found uh trackers but like I would want to just stop by 7-eleven so I could grab so he put wait he put trackers in your car I can't say I don't want to have any that's the least of my concerns in life so I can't say I don't want to have any. That's the least of my concerns in life. So I want to just I don't know how they got there, but there were trackers in my car.
Starting point is 02:23:11 I didn't understand. But I would do things like I would want to go into 7-Eleven by my house when I'd go home at two in the morning and grab a snack so I could eat. But that would put an extra 10, maybe 15 minutes if I looked around and then I get home and I had to check in the second I got home I had to check in there was a rule it was like every 15 minutes or 20 minutes there was literally a time where I went to the movies with my assistant but I was not allowed to do that and the fact that I did not report that I and I really wanted to go and she wanted to go and she told me we could get away with going to the movies. Like you can just tell Polly, like we're at home. We didn't go anywhere. You're not around any men or guys in a facility. And like, we went to the movies just in downtown.
Starting point is 02:23:54 I was still living down there and he, he wanted a picture. I was like, Oh, I'm just with Jules. We came upstairs and we're putting our feet in the hot tub. Meanwhile, we walked down and went and ate some, met our favorite Mexican food spot and went to go see a movie, but I could not, that would never be okay. I would not be able to be around men like that. So I just would say I'm at, and Julie knew, she knew all the rules. She saw how many times he, and every time there, I didn't do what he said. I was unfollowed. Uh, I was blocked. I had to make over like 60 phone numbers in that relationship. It was the sickest thing. When I was on Big Brother, I sat on an old man that was like 70 something years old and like a gay icon there. And he was singing some Broadway song and I sat
Starting point is 02:24:42 on his lap and I sang the other part of the song. Jules was like, when I got out of that show, Julie was like, I've never in my life understood what you had to go through until you left, and I became Pauly's thing that he had to talk to all the time. She's like, it was all day, nonstop. He got a VPN. He watched you 24 hours a day. Every time, he called me freaking out that you were going to cheat on him with that 70-year-old gay man when you sat on his lap.
Starting point is 02:25:11 I wasn't allowed. There were conditions of doing that show. I was not even allowed to do that show, but I told him, Pauly, you're not allowing me to make money. And so I thought to myself, I'm either going to have to go back on tour, which means different cities, different men, men are on the crew, men are putting our mics, doing our production. I'm going to be around lots of men and you're not going to have any control and it's going to fuck every, that would be a no. Or I could just go do Big Brother and I'm on camera 24 hours a day in the UK. You can watch everything I'm doing. I wasn't allowed because there's guys in the house. And I'm like, Polly, you're going to be able to see every second of it. You're going to see if I do anything. I'm not, I had to, it was just so much just to be able to take that show.
Starting point is 02:25:58 And after, and I had a few rules and I did, and I broke one of them. And he had, like, pictures of every time I broke one of his rules, and I had to explain myself. I didn't even do any of the press for Celebrity Big Brother, and I was in the final five or whatever it is to the last day. And the next day, we were supposed to wake up and do press all over the U.K., huge news things. I wasn't allowed to go to any of it. I had to stay up all night.
Starting point is 02:26:25 I literally got off the show and Renee was with me. She saw all of this. I got off the show and I walked out of literally you're in like a box for a month. They won't tell you anything unless somebody dies. They didn't tell us there was a bombing and a train in Paris and Hillary Clinton won the nomination. All these things were happening in the world. You don't know it. You're completely isolated. There's not even cameramen. They're built inside the house. So like I had no idea what the world was saying about anything that I was going through. So I got out and I walked, you literally open the door to the house as you're leaving and you walk into a studio audience. And I up to the host I think her name was Emma and she goes well guess who's here for you and I
Starting point is 02:27:09 was like what and she goes your boyfriend Pauly D and he walks on stage and I'm like oh my god walks on stage comes gives me a hug and he's like you're in fucking big trouble it whispers it in my ear on that stage as he hugs me as my loving boyfriend. And I walked back and I was like, Renee, he told me I'm in big fucking trouble. I don't know what to do. And she's like, let me try to handle it. Because meanwhile, big brother to me was my best friend. I became best friends with Renee. She taught me how to be an Italian housewife, how to cook meatballs.
Starting point is 02:27:41 And I thought I was like becoming a better wife for him and doing right by him. And I would have liked to have a bit more fun and been a bit more Aubrey. I would have won if I could have been a bit more Aubrey, but I was so scared because I didn't want to lose my relationship, but I still wanted to be the star that I am, but they couldn't meet. I couldn't be without a bra on at all times. The problem is, is in a full month of being on a show, girl, these titties got to breathe when I go to sleep. But because I woke up one time in the middle of sleeping and went to the bathroom, it's caught on camera. You can see a bit of a nipple on the t-shirt and he had the picture of the proof that
Starting point is 02:28:22 I was braless on that set. And shit like that was killing me because I'm like, dude, I fucking barely took it off a couple nights, my fucking big ass bra when I was in sleep in bed. Like I didn't, nothing. So it was just such, I mean, everybody was fucking on that show. I could have done a million things. A lot of people have, you know, like I could have gone the fuck off. I could have really ran that shit. But I just stayed with Renee and we talked about Polly all the time.
Starting point is 02:28:54 She taught me how to be all the Italian ways. I came home like excited to cook for him and I had no idea how much trouble I was in during that show after I sat on that man's lap. Polly, who decided instead of having me put my dogs in the facility, he was going to take them. I didn't realize how much of a problem that was going to be until I got on that show. I did not know any of this had happened. I knew I was in trouble when he told me. We still walk over to a contestant pool.
Starting point is 02:29:19 I don't know what I'm in trouble for. We can't talk. There's cameras on us. Not able to talk the whole night until we get into this hotel room. He had gotten into the hotel room prior. They had had like my wrap up contracts and everything. He had gone through all my contracts, all my payments. There were all kinds of things. All the pictures. I had to explain one by one. I remember him screaming at me like, why would you do this? And I didn't understand. Like, I thought I was like a great girlfriend. The whole time all I did was fucking talk about him.
Starting point is 02:29:50 And he had broken up with me so many times while I was on that show. I had no idea. I see his frustration. Julie calls me and I'm like, hey, Jules is asking me to just say hi to her. I haven't talked to her in a month. I walk outside and she goes, is Polly near you? And I was like, hey, I haven't talked to you in a month. Like, is everything okay? She's like, yeah, is Polly near you? And I was like, hey, I haven't talked to you in a month. Like, is everything okay? She's like, yeah, is Polly near
Starting point is 02:30:07 you? And I'm like, no, she's like, girl, he caused a lot of problems while you were in there. I was like, what do you mean? She's like, he broke up with you a few times. I was like, what? She's like, it's all over the news. It's on TMZ. I was like, what do you mean? She's like, it was really crazy. He went during the first time he broke up with you he went and put your dogs inside the gates of your house and left them there to leave them there alone and I was like he took he drove all the way from Vegas to my house and dropped my dogs off inside the gate and she was like yeah luckily I got like your my best friend Sarah from college to drive from Orange County over to L.A. to get my dogs. But she said, like, when she got there, he was, like, rummaging through my house.
Starting point is 02:30:52 I don't know what was in my house. He had my car. So after that is when I found those things. But, like, I was broken up with multiple times, and I didn't even know I had done anything wrong. This was before I walked in and had to do explaining all night, missed all the press the next day. We ended up going on this whole lovers week in Paris and all over the place. We're having sex to make a baby, which we did.
Starting point is 02:31:22 So you ended up being pregnant with Polly also? Yeah. And what happened with that situation situation both times I had an abortion was that because you wanted it or was it agreed together first time we I got pregnant the first time we had sex um and then the second time was when we were traveling and we had gotten through that major hump. And my thought was, I'm making a shit ton of money doing this show. Then I can go back to Vegas and be under all of, he basically said to me, like, I want a housewife that cooks, cleans. said to me, like, I want a housewife that cooks, cleans. You stay here all the time. He goes away on the weekends, usually would cheat. I'd have to deal with girls every time he'd come home, writing my dams, had your boyfriend's dick in my mouth last night. He tasted good. Cute photo, nice post. I had your man's dick in me. I was arguing with every cocktail waitress from north to south with tattoos on her face about what was this and that.
Starting point is 02:32:32 I mean, I had never in my life even experienced cheating like that. It was crazy. And then he started making it so I never really could know because he'd have his person collect all their phones at the door and it was just a meet and greet but I went to one of them they turn into a full-blown thing and then he ends up fucking at the end of it it was me when I was there but I don't think it happened every time but even he had a show after where he was dating out on the prowl again with Vinny and I heard during that show a girl came forward and was like you cheated on Aubrey O'Day my friend
Starting point is 02:33:09 told me she fucked you when you were at this thing he's like oh we were broken up then he likes to do this we were broken up then thing I don't know one time in the entire time that we dated where we had a big breakup I think after marriage boot camp we didn't talk for maybe a week. My assistant was there. And then when I was taking her to her plane, he called me and told me to come back to Vegas. How dare I fucking humiliate him and tell the truth? How dare I not follow the script he gave us? How dare I fucking X, Y, and Z?
Starting point is 02:33:38 How do you detach from a relationship like that? Who ended the relationship? Oh, I mean, he ended it over like fucking 500 times probably every time I broke a rule I was blocked and usually what I started what was the final blow like oh the final blow is a really great one the final blow was no blow at all I was with him all the way up to going to the airport when he got Jersey Shore back again he hadn't had any of that. The last show he had done was famously single with me.
Starting point is 02:34:08 And other than that, he had a few DJ gigs here and there. Jersey Shore decides to come back. And this is after marriage boot camp. People don't think we're together anymore because it doesn't end where we're together. But we were. I was at his house. I heard every horrible thing he had to say about every single one of them I know the truth behind all of that and I feel sorry for everyone on that show that
Starting point is 02:34:32 has gone in interviews and I've heard many horrible things that have been slandered on my name yet I saw everything he had to say about every single one of them and it wasn't pretty for the most part um and and I brought him to the show he called me on the first layover called me when he got to the hotel the whole first night I had talked to him all night like usual every 20 minutes check in and then talked to him and he as the producers were taking his phone to start the series and he said he was gonna call me on my birthday which was like two weeks in or something two or two weeks into filming um and then I didn't get a call from him on my birthday and I called Lauren or she called me one or the other and she's Mike's wife I think now yeah um and I was like hey she didn't know I think that we had
Starting point is 02:35:27 gotten back together um and I was like getting trying to get information like what was going on I was like hey like have you talked to Mike and she's like yeah he calls me from the house phone and I was like oh I was like what's going on she's like oh this happened that happened Ronnie cheated on his girlfriend and she doesn't even know it yet and she's about to come into into the house in a week. It's about to be fucking crazy, blah, blah. And I'm like, oh, okay. What about Polly? And she was like, oh, he like fingered two girls in the club last night. And I was like, the last night was my birthday. So that's how I found out. We never talked again. I wrote him a text message and was like, how, like, are you serious? Like probably a bunch of words like
Starting point is 02:36:05 a paragraph I'm sure I thought about it for weeks and weeks and never spoke to him again he never tried to reach out after that never he was he got his fame back he didn't need me anymore that's gotta hurt because there's no closure there you know let me tell you the because the show was big back then. And when they brought it back, they went like double down on the shit. There was literally a billboard, a block from my house and I had to pass it if I just wanted to get food for
Starting point is 02:36:36 the day. So it was like, I, I was just seeing like, everything's fake. That's all bullshit. I probably meant, I mean, I believe because it got so abusive that a few times I could see that he saw himself in my fear of him.
Starting point is 02:37:00 He put his hands on you? I don't want to talk about any of that type of stuff, He put his hands on you? I don't want to talk about any of that type of stuff, but abuse can mean a lot of things. It was toxic as fuck. And fairly, I played a role in the fact that I stayed. He always would say to me, if I'm so bad, why are you staying? I didn't learn until years later that that's what all narcissistic abusers say to their victims. Pray.
Starting point is 02:37:28 Yeah. No. I was in an abusive relationship, so I get it. It took me forever to, I would have never left had he not gone to prison, you know? Yeah. I mean, I think my assistant was so, I mean, everyone in my life was so happy to see him go. was so, I mean, everyone in my life was so happy to, that it, to see him go. There was something about, Pauly felt like, um, a guy's guy, you know, he wasn't smart. He wasn't like Travis, every bun before was like intellects. He wasn't an intellect, but he could fix things. He was
Starting point is 02:38:02 always fixing things with tools and taking it apart. And it felt like this is a man's man. He knows how to like build cars and fix things. And he was funny. Yeah. You know, he had funny, you know, like butt and fart humor, but it was funny. And it felt nice to like, I had this idea that we were both these big stars. We both were babies at MTV. We both grew up on that network. We fell in love on TV. And I thought this dream that like, we'd be like Nick and Jessica and you know, we'd both, we'd have these famous kids and our shows and I, this dream, stupid, stupid idea that like, you know, you want to end up with a guy that's like this and it's all going to be like this. But when the realities hit, I mean, even with the second child, I just saw traits where I just knew.
Starting point is 02:39:03 I think the second one bothered him. For me, I was like all about it, and then I changed my mind because he like fell asleep on me one night, or like early night, and we both passed out, and then I kind of woke up, and he was on his phone scrolling through his DMs, and like he opened a DM, and the girl had her tits out and she was like jiggling them and like saying I'm waiting these are waiting for you or whatever and I just realized like he's never gonna uh he's never gonna allow me peace I I'm going to forever be chasing women. I'm going to forever be
Starting point is 02:39:46 suppressing all of my light, all of my shine. I could not be special around him. I was saying on dumb blonde's birthday, I was like, can I play you like all the music? I did six music videos for this project. Like, can I play them all? So you could see like some of my work as a musician and like my career because you don't really know like a lot about how hard my work ethic and he was like fuck that I'm not fucking watching a bunch of videos where you're all over guys fucking touching guys and shit and I'm like oh there's not even a guy in any of our music videos don't worry he's like yeah right and that was the end of that that's hurtful yeah it just there was no room for me and I allowed that because I thought that up until then I had always chosen me and my career first and with him I thought I'm getting into my 30s this is the time to marry and have a child this situation looks exactly as you've always thought it should be for Aubrey O'Day,
Starting point is 02:40:46 right? So make it work. And I saw that he needed me to stop. There were all these instant things that may take down all the bathing suit photos. I mean, all the photos I had to delete off my Instagram when we first started dating. I mean, I saw his, the new girlfriend, um, when he first, he had a show where he was like getting to date new people. Of course, all that was outside my house as well. I mean, it like haunted me for such a long time. And even on that show, he like treated that girl like crap. She comes back there to get his girlfriend still to this day. And I think, um, as far as, I mean, like, as of a couple years ago, I'm sure that he doesn't like having to do everything all over again,
Starting point is 02:41:29 like you were saying. But, like, I saw, like, oh, she had all these sexy photos. And then, like, after they started, like, it started being official, all those photos came down. And I was, like, thinking that she was, someone else on this world on this earth was going to know what it felt like but then it never ended and at some points I had issues with that and I was like why was I the one that had to go through all that we don't know what goes on behind
Starting point is 02:41:55 closed doors yeah I mean listen I I hope that she's being treated good I pray that no girl ever goes through what I went through with him ever in life I don't even know that anyone would would be able to they would leave probably I should have left left. I don't know. A lot of, a lot of people in abusive relationships don't leave though. Yeah. I mean, as you know, the first couple of girls that like called me and were harassing me were like, I'm glad he's with you. Good luck. You're going to see. They told me that like this ominous, you're going to see. And boy, did I see. I feel like whenever exes tell you that a lot of people take that as like, oh, she's just jealous. That's what I thought. No, not anymore.
Starting point is 02:42:31 It's always proven. I'm sorry. Anytime I've had like my abusive exes, she was like, girl, you are beautiful. I love that he landed you, but you're going to see. And I just never understood what she was talking about. And boy, it was crazy. So yeah, I get it. Yeah. Well, let's, what is Aubrey doing now that she's single, that she doesn't have a man in her life, bringing her down? Like what is life like not having a man constantly in your life? Does it feel weird? Because I feel like you're like me. I'm kind of relationship based. I always like to have that love because I deep down inside, I think Aquarius is we are hopeless romantics. January 22nd. I'm Capricorn Aquarius. Oh my God. That's crazy. Yeah. So you're February 11th. You're a February Aquarius. Yeah. Yeah. I think deep down inside as analytical as we are, as
Starting point is 02:43:21 you know, justified and we, as we are and how honest and raw and truthful we are, we do romanticize having a happily ever after, whichever, whatever that happily ever after looks like for each of us, you know? Yeah. How is it now that you're single and that you're still in TV? Because to be relevant as long as you have been is kind of crazy because that's, that's a testament, you know, to your tenacity because to, to be as, to be relevant. I mean, you've been in the industry. What, like how old are you now? I'm allowed to ask that. 40. So I just turned 40, 30 years pretty much. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Like 29, 29 28 i'm not great with math but two decades a long fucking time like almost three decades that you've been in front of a camera and now you're still
Starting point is 02:44:14 going to do another reality show i know where are you at where's your mental health where's your heart how's your spirit well which category are we talking all of them or career no just you by yourself just aubrey i'm i would say i'm well right now what i'm in is like um i have a 17 and 18 year old dogs so i'm in there i'm we're I'm guiding them to the afterlife right now. We're getting close. Um, on my 40th birthday. Yeah,
Starting point is 02:44:52 girl. How old? He's six. Oh, you have some time. He has a bigger dog. They don't go that long. Usually.
Starting point is 02:44:58 Yeah. Um, prepare yourself. I wish I would have thought about everything earlier, but, um, I'll have him taxidermied. Oh, I would have thought about everything earlier, but, um, I'll have him taxidermied. Oh, I will literally have Chachi. I froze my, one of my dog's sperm. So I feel you
Starting point is 02:45:13 know, literally I will have him taxidermied. I wonder Chachi doesn't have balls though, but can we dig some sperm out of them somewhere? Not if he doesn't have his balls. Damn it. I don't know. I mean, it. I don't know. I mean, nowadays, I don't know exactly. Sweet baby. But I wouldn't want to lose him either. He's an incredible dog. No, he's my baby. The sweetest.
Starting point is 02:45:32 He's my baby. So anyways, with them, on my 40th birthday this year, I got a call from not even the luxury boarding facility that I put her at, but by an ER doctor that said they had to put her down, and she was attacked at the boarding facility that I put her at. Um, but by like a ER doctor that said they had to put her down and she was attacked at the boarding facility. That was not an option for me. And then when I got lowered from dinner in the sky and Dubai was hanging in the sky from a crane, when I got the call, I got down and talked to the ER doctor and he said that her eye was in like multiple pieces dangling out of her face they had her on like fentanyl or something like crazy oxycontin or something crazy and
Starting point is 02:46:15 and that usually when a dog's eye something happens scratching or whatever they just push it back and sew it down because there's an artery that runs behind the eye and if you nick it in surgery it's brain damage like dead on arrival that happened to my pug my pit bull attacked my pug and they had to do that with her eye take it out or push it back push it back and sew it okay well my dog ginger's eye was so in so many pieces that they didn't have that option. I never have talked about this because, trust and believe I wanted to run that girl's business because she couldn't provide me with any of the camera footage,
Starting point is 02:46:53 even though she had 24-hour cameras running everywhere. The stories changed multiple times. I felt really angry. I still have, that's the only thing that could really get me heated right now when I look back on it. Um, because my dog's not the same anymore, but, um, but anyways, I felt that I didn't want to bring that type of karma my way and nothing was going to bring her eye back. So I had everyone else deal with her and I just worked on getting my dog back healthy but she's got like you know she has one eye now she she went on the surgery table at 17 with a heart murmur for a few hours of a surgery
Starting point is 02:47:37 stayed alive which the doctor was not board certified but he said he had been trained a lot by a doctor that did these surgeries. And he thought he could do it. I had no control in Dubai. No control. I would not have been able to say goodbye. Like, nothing. And she's my baby. I mean, I got her, like, her both my dogs.
Starting point is 02:47:58 Like, she's my Broadway dog. I got her when I was on Broadway. Like, she's got her own wire image and Getty image. Except none of her photos ever look Broadway like she's got her own wire image and Getty image except none of her photos ever look bad because she's fucking epic yeah I love that but um but anyways it was like so dramatic so for me when I got home that was in February when I got back I was like I make so much money doing OnlyFans right now I'm going to focus on making sure that both my dogs have the best life possible and that I'm the best mom possible so like right now a day in my life if I'm not working
Starting point is 02:48:35 I'm with my two dogs doing every fucking fun thing a dog would ever want to do possible all day and then we all fall asleep on each other we're at the like peeing and pooing in bed stage just diapers put diapers on them it's it's i'm figuring out how to handle different things right now it's kind of like assessing quality of life so like we go week by week if they if i see a moment of happiness in them, one moment is all the bets that I needed. They can stay alive for another week. So right now I don't give a fuck about anything except my dogs. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:49:12 Um, working when I work, I love like moments like this, like going and seeing jelly tonight will be like special for me. Cause I get to be background music and Nashville's I'm sure very special if it's not fucking a hurricane yeah tornado tornado we have tornadoes out here oh I don't know what I experienced but that shit was wild um but I I'm like mostly focused on that love life wise I'm not I don't think while I'm on
Starting point is 02:49:39 OnlyFans I'm gonna find the right kind of person that I am right for and have them be able to respect or understand it the way that I do. Well, I beg to differ. I met my husband when I was a fucking escort and he loved me, loved every bit of me, knew everything I did, would talk to me while I was at tricks houses. I would send him videos of us making tricks, do weird shit. And then tell me about one of those videos. I just need to know. Did you ever make anyone do animal noises? I saw one thing where this guy was baby. That is child's play. Oh my God. Please tell me. Did you make them put dildos in their asses or anything? Oh, for sure. Yes, absolutely. Anything you could think of. Did you ever do the humiliation
Starting point is 02:50:20 stuff? I get asked, I got asked, not intentionally, but it would happen. There was, there's a, I've told this story before. There's a trick that, um, we call them shitter. Shitter. Wait, did you have to do the poo parties? No, I didn't do that. I'm running into that. No, no, no. That's gross. But this was unintentional. We were doing, you know, eight balls of cocaine and he was naked running around the hotel room and this man would scoot down the bed to like go do a line. And when he would scoot, a skid mark would get left. And I was videoing this. And I still have the videos in my phone. I was videoing this.
Starting point is 02:50:54 I was videoing this. You could take down a lot of people with both these phones. Oh, literally, dude. Jay says it all the time. He's like, if you really wanted to, he's like, you could fucking fuck up some shit. And I'm just like, I would never want to. There's a part of me that sometimes I'm like, and then I'm like, no, you know, I love getting choked. I, so do I, I used to until I got really choked. And then, so now I'm, now I think I have a fucking aneurysm on my carotid artery from being choked
Starting point is 02:51:18 out in bed. So be very careful. No, it's sick that no, I'm at a point now where I'm like, it's sick that I normalized and then fetishized and liked it. It's really unhealthy. It's porn. I think like being so like, Dr. Drew said this to me one time, he was like, my generation of men got off on Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire. And we saw a man throw down his jacket and hop over the water puddle. Your generation learned relationships through two girls in a cup or two. What is that? Two girls, one cup. Two girls, one cup. Yeah. Like we imagine the young kids now what they're looking at. Oh, I couldn't imagine. Choking is definitely just average shit nowadays.
Starting point is 02:52:00 Literally. I can't get off unless I'm choked at one point. And I was like, this is fucking sick and unhealthy that I've normalized this. Well, it's also pain. I think it's pain that we, we push down and it's almost like we are like, it's like dominating glutton for punishment. You know, like, it's like, we feel like we deserve to be treated that way because secretly I don't like it for that reason. I like it because I like to be dominated. Cause I know I love to be dominated too, because I was big personalities. Is that an unhealthy thing? I mean, I, there's so many factors that go into it. I mean, what you like is what you like. I will never yuck somebody's yum ever,
Starting point is 02:52:35 but it's like, I love that line. I will never yuck somebody's yum. That needs to be the title of this podcast. Yeah, we can make it the title of this podcast. But I think that there are reasons why us as women do gravitate more towards certain things. You know, like in my abusive relationship, I loved the fact that he was so possessive and jealous over me. And, you know, with Jay, it's the immediately opposite thing. My husband is like, you want to go fuck somebody? Go ahead. Love you. Don't want to hear about it. You know, like my husband, we don't have an open marriage. Everybody thinks we have an open marriage, which is crazy to me, but we don't own each other. He's not my property. I'm not his property. Do you ask him if he has sex with anybody? Well, my rule with my husband is if you have sex with somebody, call me before it happens, because I don't want to get that DM, you know, like, I don't want to get that DM, you know, like, I don't want to be the last to know. Don't let me be the last to know. They're like, she's only with them for the money. I hate that. You know how much I get that. And I'm like, you
Starting point is 02:53:32 know, the, the amount of, uh, God, I hate to say this cause it sounds so insensitive, but if I would have kept the babies that I've received in life, I'd be chilling. Yeah. Like a villain. Yeah. Cause there's only one other person that I've received in life, I'd be chilling. Yeah. Like a villain. Yeah. Cause there's only one other person that I, that happened with and that one's way bigger than that. The first one.
Starting point is 02:53:51 Like did you get pregnant with Don Jr? I'm not talking about any of that, but, um, I, I think in my soul, I feel like, um,
Starting point is 02:54:04 every time I see that, I just think to myself, this is like an easy scapegoat for women that own their sexuality and are open and honest about it. Yeah. So like throw them down that lane and, and set them aside instead of just talk about what it all looks like. I've been on both sides. When I was with Polly, I, when I was started getting cheated on, like in dealing with all these women, I was like, I did this on both sides. When I was with Polly, I, when I was started getting cheated on, like in dealing with all these women, I was like, I did this to another woman. Then my best friend gave birth during that, during Polly. I'm like, that woman did this.
Starting point is 02:54:34 Yeah. I'm a piece of shit for that, for, for, for. As life happens, you start to see the cause and effect of things. But, but by the the way like how I understood it then and I still don't even know like they could have had a full-blown arrangement and it was exactly as it was presented and whatever I don't know I know enough that I'm settled on it but like I in my mind like I've been on both sides I've seen what it looks like on both sides I think that women group themselves into oh you're a girl's girl you're not someone that would take someone's
Starting point is 02:55:12 husband or now you're not like the my why my team was like you're lethal after dawn was it I was a woman that would take a man's take a woman's man and that was such a big thing and a lot of those types of women that don't like girls like that didn't like me and stopped talking to me. Or I was like, looked down upon and I was lowered in my, my status. Meanwhile, these girls, and I'm not, not saying what you did was right, but meanwhile, these women have skeletons in their closet too. I don't think we're here to judge. We all do. And I think more honest conversations amongst women that have done all the things like this are super powerful for women because it releases the chains that bind us. There's, you know, I being an escort, there was plenty of men who wore wedding rings. There was pastors who wore wedding rings, you know, like, and do I feel bad?
Starting point is 02:56:01 Did you ever come to a point where you felt guilty? I know what you felt while you were in it. Fuck these guys. Yeah. After, after I, I got out of it, did I feel guilty? I don't know if the word guilty would be what, um, did you feel like you got your karma? Yes, absolutely. I'm, I feel proud for you for talking about that. Honestly, to me, I, I'm talking about things now and I see a lot of the people that want to silence me say oh you're just you don't you're nobody anymore you're a ho on OnlyFans that's why you're dropping Polly's name or that's what you're gonna get under your comments on this video yeah no I'm just being more honest about who I am and what I've gone through now and I'm happy
Starting point is 02:56:42 to not have to fake things in a room. What I'm not comfortable talking about with you, I've not talked about. We've moved past it. And what I am comfortable, I did not give you any rules of what I will and won't say. I told you I'll say I'm not talking about that if I don't want to talk about it. I have my boundaries for myself that I'm still protecting for whatever reasons, if I decide to move through those boundaries in any type or way, I'll come back and we can chat some more. Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 02:57:09 But first of all, what is tricking? You said a trick. Yeah, so... Trick is a pimp? No. What is a trick? A trick is like somebody who pays you for sex. Okay, wait.
Starting point is 02:57:21 Did you have a pimp? Because I know two pimp, they're handlers, I guess. No, I would never have a pimp. They know two pimp they're they're handlers i guess but no i would never they're gross and i was like man the fact that girls are going through this no i and see i would never shame girls who have pimps because they you know obviously there's something in their childhood too that they need that sort of like protection i don't i don't if it's protection then okay i mean they can say it's protection You don't have to cut anyone a percentage. No,
Starting point is 02:57:46 fuck no. How did you get business? Very easily. You, there's, well, there is a site called eros.com that you can go on, which,
Starting point is 02:57:54 you know, it's a huge website and you can book your own calls. You can work for services in Vegas. You can, um, I mean, you say you're only going on a date, right? Right. It's legal to book a beautiful woman and pay her for dinner or, you know, but whatever you guys do after that is transactional and that's your business. And technically get everyone arrested that you've
Starting point is 02:58:17 ever had sex with as well. But you could do like an immunity deal. No, I would never. I'm not a snitch like that. I would never girl'm not a snitch like that I would never girl I came from the streets I could never do that um but you know it's um I love how open you are it's an aquarium thing I think but it's so beautiful well I appreciate that and I recognize that in you too and that's what has always drawn me to you and I honestly can't wait to see how you transmute all of this and just make it your bitch. Because I know you're going to do that. And I know that you're going to just go through this world and keep leaving your fucking keep stomping your heel on these motherfuckers necks.
Starting point is 02:58:53 And I can't wait to see it. Are you happy? I am so happy. Finally, in my life, I am happy. If you would have asked me this a few years ago, I was still searching for happiness because I didn't know how to be happy in peace. I didn't know how to be happy without chaos. And for once in my life, I'm like fighting for my life. I just got a diagnosis last week where they told me that I could potentially have an aneurysm on my carotid artery. And I have, for the last year, for the last week, I've been I've been praying to God like please I am finally
Starting point is 02:59:27 so happy and so peaceful in my life do not take this away from me can they do something about it yeah there's surgery but I mean it's still scary anybody walking around with a grenade in their neck but I had a neurosurgeon tell me that it's not I'm getting a second opinion tomorrow so it's just how surgery just line it up yeah yeah, yeah, absolutely. For sure. But yeah, I am happy and you will find happiness too. It's fucking crazy how we fight so hard to get to that place. And then right when you get to that place, we're at an age where somebody tries to take it. Yeah. It's just crazy, but the devil's not going to win. I'm telling you, man, I have this, I am the type of person who looks at anything that can be bad. Potentially wonder if it's only temporary or it's only what you choose to make of it, but there's not any
Starting point is 03:00:10 real happiness. It's just a mind state or a feeling that you have that will always end up being temporary. I feel like happiness is peace. Happiness is comfort. Happiness is something we choose or is it an actual destination I don't think we're ever gonna get to that destination because I feel like life is a journey or is it just a man-made word that means nothing yeah no seriously I genuinely believe that happiness is a journey and there's levels to it that you're gonna be super happy one day you're gonna be down here one you know like there's so many levels of happiness. And I think whatever one that your heart, that sets your soul on fire and that your heart recognizes, that's your happiness for this life.
Starting point is 03:00:55 Cause that's what you picked for your soul contract before you came down here. Everything that you've gone through in your life, you've already picked this out to happen to you. Oh Lord Jesus, please don't say that. Cause I would never have picked Pauly. You say that, you say that, but maybe your soul was yearning for that lesson, you know, before you came down here, you were like, I feel like all I've been gotten in life is lessons. I'm kind of want to get to the stage where I get a bunch of rewards and you will, but you have only fans has been the only thing that's done that imagine it's going back to a place that's supposedly trauma land as a sex sex worker but like trauma land is the only place that's actually like property reward you're taking your power back that's in some way you're taking your power back no man can tell you what to do you're making your own fucking money
Starting point is 03:01:43 you're shooting your own content you are your own. This is your little baby that nobody can take from you and that you only you are doing, you know what I'm saying? So in a way you are taking your power back. You're taking your power back from Diddy who told you that you're promiscuous and that you can't work for him because you're this type of person. You're taking your power back from Polly who told you you can't wear low cut shirts. You're taking your power back from Don, who obviously hurt you and chose his family over you. You know, like there's just little bits and pieces here. So maybe your happiness is not only fans. Maybe your happiness is not being told what to do and being able to just be Aubrey.
Starting point is 03:02:35 being told what to do and being able to just be Aubrey. You want a hug? Let's hug. Sorry. Yeah. Like two and a half hours.
