Hey Lady Gang, welcome to Flashback Friday, where we bring some of our favorite Lady Gang episodes from the vault to you in the feed. We have over 600 episodes of this podcast, and whether you're an OG and you've heard this episode before, or you're a new listener and we're just bringing this up and you had no idea we had this person on our podcast, well, you're welcome. Small caveat here, we are an imperfect group of trio of ladies, and we've been podcasting for almost six and a half years. If something we said in this podcast doesn't align with Lady Gang 2020, please give us

grace. For instance, there was a period on Lady Gang where I was not into Taylor Swift. It was the reputation era. I wasn't feeling what she was begging. But now I'm like a Swifty again. And so I just don't want you to hold me to that because we're all growing and learning and our opinions change pretty much every day. Without further ado, welcome to Flashback Friday.

Well, what is this? Welcome to the Lady Gang. That's amazing. Say that again. The Lady Gang. Things are about to change around here. Each week we catch up with Hollywood's hottest girl posse. Kelty Knight, Becca Tobin, and Jack Vanek.

i want a an authentic dolly parton vintage t-shirt so badly have you been searching ebay yes but the problem with ebay is like i i can't tell from ebay if it's authentic send them to me my friend brin is like the i don't know why i'm talking about this right now but i have a friend that like knows everything about vintage tea shopping for real yeah like i don't know just ask her if maybe she could source one for me as opposed to me like sending her all these things Well, if you find one, I'd be like, should I buy this? Well, can't she find one? Are you going to hire her?

Sure. I'll pay her a commission on the, like, $20 t-shirt that I find. Fine. Thank you. You're welcome. Good Lord. I want it really bad. Well, I tried to help you.

Okay, cool. I can't help you, Becca. I have enough on my plate. You have so much on your plate. I have so much on my plate. My plate is full. But if you find two, I would buy one, too. I would buy one.

Yeah. Well, we can't all... See, this is the whole thing with you guys turning into me. More you, Kelty. I have not turned into you. Oh, you've taken some little things, okay? You never knew how to wear jewelry before the lady gang, okay? It's true.

You took jewelry. I see you. You took jewelry. You took footwear. You basically got every pair of shoes for the show that we have. I've just not been wearing trash clothing. You got eyebrows. That's not because of us.

That's just because she needs them. That's a human. That's because I only had a fourth eyebrow before. Only one fourth. You got hair, fake hair. That was because of us. The fake hair was because of you guys. Yeah.

But it's not all Becca. That was like a conglomerate. Well, everything that's me, Kelty has become. And so in turn, we've all become me. I've tried so hard to become you, but I've fallen so short. I told you the reason why I cut my hair. I was inspired by you for my haircuts. Thank you.

I'm inspired by you for everything I'm wearing a leopard skirt this weekend And it's because I saw Becca Tobin wearing a leopard skirt You know now Someone on social media was like Kelty wore a Lady Gang shirt and a leopard skirt So I did and I was like But I wore it because of Becca

I feel like the leopard skirt with a T Situation is now It's had it's moment Good I'm wearing it this weekend I'm so excited to see you there I thought you were going to wear Lady Gang clothing No, I am going to wear lady game clothing. Yeah.

What I was – oh, I think I'm very triggered by it. I like it when people acknowledge it. I don't mind. If you're going to copy me, I want you to – like what Kelty does and what you do, it's like, hey, I did this thing because you did it. Yeah, not just like coincidentally show up. I started wearing a metal part because you wore a metal part. And you look so good, but you have a way better face than me, so it doesn't work the same.

Speaking of faces. Just why I'm so ugly in that picture from last night. You're not ugly. What picture? Anyway. We've already talked about this. All right. okay well i'm gonna this will bring us to be like now it's time for perfect good week yes it is bad

week oh no okay my good week speaking of my face i saw dr diamond last night and zach found out no of course you get done i mean i told him zach thinks i go to get botox that's it you know me too i mean he knows i've like dabbled in filler but like he all he all he cares about i could literally come home with new cheekbones and you'd be like as long as you didn't do those lips girl yeah it's like cool so i went to dr diamond last night how is he he's just i mean this is so inappropriate he's probably never gonna get me into like i'm literally gonna call now like 800 times and they're gonna be like he's booked he's booked like i he is seductive seduction but not on purpose Not on purpose.

He's an accidental sexual fiend. He's an accidental pornography in a scrub. Every time I want to be touched by a man, I'm going to go to him. Get that little vibrator thing he puts on your face. The tan he puts on your face. Dr. Diamond is a fucking snack. No, it's like his fucking confidence. It's like, please just take my clothes off.

And he's like, let me come in and inject things in your face in a Yeezy footwear. And then I'm going to buy Yeezys for all my staff. And I'm like, do they have Yeezys? Yes. I never noticed that. Tammy told me that was the new mandatory footwear, but he bought it for everyone. Yeezys. That's incredible.

I love it so much. Jared just bought me a fake pair of Yeezys from Singapore for $5. Don't say that. Now, every time you wear them, people are going to know. This is a podcast. How was Dr. Diamond? 70 million downloads. We're not just talking to us.

Dr. Diamond was incredible. He was my good week. Honestly, I just, if I have a son, I'm going to be like, I don't give a what you want to do with your life. You're going to move to Beverly Hills and you are going to be a plastic surgeon. A facial plastic surgeon. Yes. Also, I didn't even realize like he was like the diamond face sculpting. He like made that up.

It's just fillers. It's just fillers. Well, but his precision and where he places that. No, for sure. But I just love that he was like, I'm going to do fillers, but I'm not going to call it fillers. I'm going to call it diamond facial sculpting. Even his titles for his fillers is sexual.

Well, you know, people also see that and they're probably like, what is this new technology? And it's literally filler. Yeah. But he's an amazing. No. This part that he does. Did he do right here? Yeah.

It's the magic. But a temple. Basically, your temple. Because as you get older, they cave in like you're dead. Yeah. You become a skeleton. It's like you're just a skull. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. Okay, I'm sorry. My bad week. Hold on. I forget what it was because it was just so good. Because Dr. Diamond was so hot. Dr. Diamond's so good.

Well, my bad week also has to do with Dr. Diamond. There was a really famous person in there, and she gave me the dirtiest look ever. Write down her name. Yes. Hold on. This is so mean. Was she out in the earth? She was going to the bathroom from her room.

oh she was on secrets i spelled that wrong okay oh yeah she is beautiful like crazy beautiful yeah and i'm pretty sure she got very mad that i saw her oh because just because anybody saw and i think she hissed at somebody at the desk about me like what was she wait so like if she had to go we're both in our room everybody else was in there yeah they keep it have you ever you never see other people there no walk in i'm like do you do business here it's another they have it like perfectly they always take you right to a room it's true they never make you wait you're not waiting in the waiting room no i mean i could wait for hours no one would care no but no i'm like i'm like i've waited in the waiting room but like so they obviously have it so that everybody has

discretion and he's so discreet like everybody there is so discreet even tammy like wouldn't even tell me a thing it's so annoying yeah um but i caught her because i was like coming out from the bathroom and then she was going in and she gave me like the nastiest look and i was like damn you're pretty but you're a bitch like we know you can't be this beautiful without all this filler yeah you know you're getting the diamond sculpted treatment just like me bitch look at these temples temples look amazing that actually makes me feel better about myself knowing that's all because she doesn't look like she gets stuff done which is why dr diamond is the shit yeah okay my good week i had an hour

and 17 minute coffee with matt nathanson oh my god it was amazing alex is shaking her head i was in san fran this is disgusting our husbands should never listen to this first we get a boner for dr time talk about our fillers and now you had an hour and 17 minute coffee we're horrible we're basically mad men but women anyway no mad and i are friends and so we went to coffee in san Francisco and we hung out and we talked about life and talked about business. And I talked about like touring, you know, and I was like, what's it like to tour anyway? So we were just chatting and he was saying something to me, um, about our mutual ex-boyfriend. And he was like, but it's like, cause he's managed by the same management company or something. Right. And he said something

like, but isn't it like, don't you feel good that that kid's like life is like garbage, you know? and i said well here's the thing i don't really go around like setting people's lives on fire anymore but i'll like but i'll totally sit back and watch it burn but i'll let the fire warm my body right exactly and he wrote it down he's gonna use it in a song i've heard that before though i think probably because cult he's told us is it yeah i told you this story maybe on the podcast no no no no you told me immediately when i got to the hotel no i haven't heard you haven't heard this story this story no it's but i know there's like of course there's lots of lyrics about burning and fire you know it's in a wallflower song it's in one headlight

you should probably tell him that's probably where you got that crazy good quote from no it's not a great i i think you should say i don't go around setting people's lives on fire but i'll certainly let that fire warm my cold dead heart no i'd warm my hands all right yeah but isn't that such a good like metaphor for life like i don't have to go around writing books about what a dick you are anymore but like if your life's garbage do you know what that makes me think of just the amount of people who love watching my life go up in flames yeah me too people love it everybody i mean yes everybody is happy to watch everybody else's lives go up exactly all right feel that way about many people you guys well i don't care i don't think about anyone else i know okay we know

bad week i want to talk about something that we've talked about a little bit on the podcast but i experienced it this week the mush that comes out of your body that is the first shit of your period oh that first period poop it's the first it's a bloody it is a diarrhea it is a the progesterone has instantly flicked over to now we go poop like you've been bloated for a week you haven't pooped and then it's like and now it's time what the is that shit it's it's fucking nasty happened to me know what i'm talking about stop it that's not appropriate she is an employee don't ask her about her period okay that is sexual harassment okay anyway that's i don't think that's sexual i think it's just straight up inappropriate okay jack she's keeping a log okay she is no

she's because then when she tries to stick you know what i was gonna say i was like she's gonna record it and i'm like we are recording it we're letting millions of people here recording it our selves she's like they can blackmail me all they want when i try to leave this place but i got notes i have receipts stickies you guys we all have make it rain stickies just so many stickies on our screen on our computer the amount of things i'm like make a list for this she's like got it got it there aren't enough colors in the color wheel to color each one of those stickies a different color yeah oh my god um my good week is pretty simple emo is fucking back emo is back it's having a resurgence but it's called something different and i just my mom taught me about it

today because it's all you know well because there's this thing called visco girl it's like a new thing that a filter for teen visco cams like an app but it's a new teen thing it's like the new basic bitch for teens but they wear birkenstocks i don't know we did that like three times already i've worn birkenstocks through so many decades i know i still wear them but apparently it's a thing but anyways there's my mom was telling me about that and then she was also telling me about this thing called e-girls and e-boys and basically it's just emo but it's like a new generation so they think that they're like doing this new do you think you're like the george washington for the e-girl yeah and i'm like are they looking at you like e-girl inspiration

outfits and then like pulling pictures from your leopard hair they're pulling pictures like we go in like vintage fashion i'm looking at the 70s hippies and they're looking at pictures of you and my chemical romance shirt and they're like inspirational oh my god well no i'm really just hoping that somehow it picks up your business yeah my bracelets become in style because i still have like 10 000 get them out there babe get them out e-girl make some e-girl rubber bracelets yeah i'm like hey teenagers you want to buy something from you should have zoomies put them in there the bracelets yeah i know they won't even know it's from like a mid-30 year old she's so cool hanging on to my youth oh my god speaking of i have such a funny story i had a

Goodbye. Bye. Now back to the Lady Gang.

Ooh, ooh, ooh. By the way, this is, like, one of my best introductions when we're done. Our guests today are two divas that prefer a smackdown more than a meltdown. That's good, right? That was really good. I like that. Dominating the WWE female wrestling world, they have held the Divas Championship three times and given their competitors a taste of their twin magic, but it doesn't stop there.

Outside of the ring, they are dominating the entertainment industry with a weekly podcast, YouTube channel, reality TV show, and video games. It's hard to imagine that they have time for anything personal, but they do. With headline-grabbing personal lives and red carpet fashion to die for, these two are showing us what power ladies are all about. Please welcome to the show two women I'm a little scared of, and also I love them, Nikki and Brie Fella. Welcome.

a beach and we get scorching hot in the summer yeah we have scorpions rattlesnakes you know okay um since you're the mom of the group i have a couple questions for you has um little birdie ever walked in on you having sex actually no um i'm trying to think but you used to let josie be on my dog yeah my dogs no the dogs are like whatever they watch everyone The dog is like one step away from licking my vagina at some point. All the time. And I'm like, please get off the bed. It's not okay.

I cannot do that. Yeah, Bertie has actually never walked in. Never. I think she just got in a toddler bed, so she's getting a little confident just turning on the light. Won't leave the room yet. Oh, okay. Did your husband get jealous when you had the baby? Because it's like now there's someone else to take care of and you can't just be like wifey all the time.

He definitely, I wouldn't say he got jealous, but I definitely noticed that you give so much attention to your baby, especially if you're breastfeeding. And I think it was, he became extra needy because it was kind of like, wait. And then especially when you're breastfeeding, like the last thing you want to do is kind of just, I don't know, but I can imagine, you know, like they're on fire and you're like, don't look at me. So I get infected. Your nipples.

That's what I've seen of her. So I just think it's terrible. It happened once. She's the best form of birth control. Everything I see her go through and it never ends. It's always something new. And I'm like, do I want to be a mom? Did you have it?

You had a, like a brat, like the, the milk backs up the, yes, my sight is, oh shit, that's brutal. And then, you know what they tell you? Just have your daughter keep sucking cause it's a clogged duck. I, you would get, you know, the sting pains you can get to your brain. Yeah. It was the worst feeling in the world. And I just was like, breathe through it, breathe, breathe through it.

It was really bad. Oh my gosh. And you're a tough bitch. Yeah, and I wanted to cry. I did cry. I think I did cry the whole time. But I, you know, it's funny because my daughter right now has a UTI and she's two and a half. And to see her go through that, I was just like.

Her future is looking dark. I know. I feel like you already have a vagina problem. I got them all the time as a child and now I'm like, never get them. You get them. You had one like three weeks ago. I literally have gotten like one in the past five years. Wow.

Yeah. Wow. I get a UTI every day. I'm so proud of them too. It sucks. it's like I if I have to pee I don't even hold it anymore I tell people like no I'm sorry I have to go to the bathroom yeah I'm gonna walk out of here with the UTI did you get the special pills that you can take after every time you have sex to just prevent it like not even have to get to that you

know I used to do it for a while and I just forgot to get them from my doctor I know I totally it does work it does I always make sure to pee though no but it's sometimes that doesn't even help me yeah I now have the app on my phone where I can just get an appointment with the doctor it takes like 10 minutes really and you can like FaceTime with the doctor and they're like what's wrong and i was like i have uti and they're like how do you know i'm like this this this this you're like yeah you do okay we'll call it into walgreens and i'm like wait what and then i'm like next thursday i'm like it's me again another uti i had my planned thursday afternoon sex the doctor on demand is next level okay uh has birdie ever gone up to you and been like mama

yeah so she did it one time when she was super tiny and then when it oh the other day i was in phoenix and i was sitting on the couch um i can't remember i was having my coffee you had left and birdie came in and she was like mama and i look i'm like birdie and she goes dodo dodo looks like mama and it was the first time she's ever acknowledged it oh and i'm like yes dodo does look like mama and then she just was staring at me so weird and i'm like oh my gosh but she's called me mama before once but now it's weird she knows except that one time but it's like i don't know and where did dodo come from so all the nieces and nephews have always called me coco because of nicole they can't they couldn't say and i loved it i was like yes i got a good one

yeah and then birdie came along and we were trying to tell her coco and she's like dodo i'm like she's like dodo and it's dodo that's amazing he's like you better not change it when she's older i'm like i'm like i loved it i was like yes you're dodo for life her husband love it so much okay um it's now out there about your love oh yeah now becca tobin how many dancers have you had sex with becca was on broadway oh wow like not as many as you think but the ones that i did have sex with wow yes yeah so reviews are good yeah yes five stars five stars six if you could jack have you ever had sex with a dancer so true i don't know that they would have crossed your world no i have not supposedly they don't have dancers with emo bands in the back of fallout

boy there isn't like a backup male dancer that actually is going down swimming yeah okay um Have you ever had sex with a dancer? Have you dated any dancers? Gosh, I don't think I have. No. Okay. I have had sex with a dancer one time. Whoa.

It was also five stars. And people are like, you know, the whole dance thing came on, like, boys don't do ballet or whatever with Laura Spencer. And I was like, let me tell you something about ballet boys. A dancer can bone. And they're like slick little baby seals. Like their little butts are so tight. And those thighs.

The thighs of like the thrusty thighs. so anyway my question is happy for you is what we're trying to say my question is is our dancers better in bed oh 100 the best i've ever had like the vagina smiles every time i love your choice yeah i just and i'll admit it was very i wasn't i don't know because i've always been with such manly men but i didn't know what to expect because they're a little smaller yeah how tall is he he's like 5'10 right yeah like 5'10 i'm like should i do that he says 5'11 but i think it's 5'10 and he has like what you would think ballerina legs would look like but you know they're super jacked but artem has tiny graceful legs like yeah i look at him like you were meant to be a dancer

yeah um and i like feel bigger but like he rocks me see this the thing is they're so they have like this feminine energy right and then when it gets to the bedroom that's when the man comes yes and you're like whoa and then he's rushing on top of it so it's like he owns me and then how he works my body he dances on it it's like oh my god i mean i never not orgasm every time i could be so tired i could be on gummies it doesn't matter orgasms are healthy i know but when you hear your sister say orgasm it's just like hearing your mom say orgasm yeah now is the music a big thing because when i was having sex with the dancer it was like we had to have the whole playlist and like all that jazz um you know we did it a lot more in the beginning yeah but now

i've noticed like business yeah more business right it's like that's what well the honeymoon stage is almost over no no we'll still put on she's so excited i think what it is is sometimes you have music because you're uncomfortable yeah because you don't want silence yeah a little fart that comes out oh my god i don't want to hear any of that noise or even an oral sex like in like once yeah yeah just like everything yeah i mean totally i don't like that yeah any kind of like a liquid mouth penis noise and i don't want to hear my dog snoring because they're usually in the room oh god it's a frenchie so so yeah we don't even need yeah like music but we'll do it every now and then okay but it's still very passionate i'm very interested in this because

i feel like i was like a part of like i i remember when you guys were partners and i was like listen you were both with other people at the time but i was like they have a connection like there's obviously it was a friendship at that time but like there was something really special with you guys have you ever done the well i could also tell that he was like you know with the eyes yeah artem was like i was like what did you first think when um you got nikki as your partner and He was like, the big eyes were like, the dog eyes were like, wow, wow, wow. Anyway. They totally were though.

It was amazing, right? He was just like, oh, that's cute. But did you ever, have you since been like, we should revisit some of our dances in a sexual way in like a crotchless bodysuit in the room? That's actually a really good idea. I'm taking it to the place. I'm taking it. Do you remember your dances?

Well, he tried to waltz with me the other day. He's like, how did you forget this? And I'm like, I don't know. It's been like two years. it's like you forget but he'll do some stuff with me like in the kitchen because he sees i'll smile so big yeah and it's so sexy but i should do that i mean for an anniversary i felt like i kind of was like that on the dances i had to do yeah it was sexual i'm like getting my hair yanked i have a crush on you and now i'm going to make you hump my leg i mean it was amazing

The choreography, I remember every week I'm like, what do I have to do? And it's like this face roll, you ride on my leg, don't worry, it's a samba. And I'm like, oh. You're like, why am I the only one doing these kind of dances? I did feel like that every week. I'm like, why am I the hoe of the show? And then you saw everyone else and they're like, one, two, three. Carlton's doing like the fucking Carlton.

And you're like, let me put my arms around your face. You're like, why is my vagina in your face again? This is the cha-cha? That's why we should teach all of our boys to dance because they will get laid all of the time. Yes, right. I agree. It's like instant trigger of wetness.

Do you want to say that? Yes, you can. Yes, you can. I'm with my people. Because when a man can't dance, it's like, no. If you can't dance or clap to a beat, you can't. And there's been, we've all had them. okay you're like you never know when the next pump is coming three two one one two three two

perfect oh yeah you guys can manage so you could be rings i'd be a great manager costume designer Although I'm finishing my Invisalign, so I feel like I need to ensure that my teeth are okay. We'll give you a mouth guard. Great. We've knocked out two teeth in the ring. I've lost two. Which ones? Front and then side.

I mean, that's like screwed in my jaw now. That's crazy. How did you guys get into wrestling? Did you audition? We did. We were kind of like glow girls. Yeah, like Diva Search. There was a thing called Diva Search.

They were looking for women wrestlers and, um, I came across wrestling and I connected with it in the sense of Nicole and I grew up as athletes and, um, we were very aggressive on the soccer field, but we also loved entertainment and we would always lip sync to the spice girls growing up. And we loved entertaining. Like my parents would have these parties for the boxing, um, matches. So when I saw wrestling, I'm like, well, it's the mix of both worlds. So then I saw diva search and I'm like, Nicole, we have to go audition.

and they actually didn't 21. Did you have moves at that point? No, nothing. So you're just waiting in line. It's like a cattle call. No experience at all. Like just like, oh yeah, we could go fight girls. That's like what we kept thinking in our head. Like we actually just had to fight people. And we showed up in

like, yeah. We could take all these bitches down. Right. That's what we thought. We showed up in kicks and like this jeans and ponytails. We had t-shirts. Hers said Nicole for show. Mine said breezy for sheezy. Faux show. didn't i say faux show you said for show for show faux show there you go and um but the best part is like yeah we don't want you guys and we're like what how right i mean for freezy yeah

but the everyone was dressed like yeah i had a bandana on like huh but um everyone was dressed like go-go dancers like we came in as athletes like you had to see we let our hair air dry like we didn't even curl the hair we had like no makeup we might have just mascara and maybe because we were thinking like athletes so they were like no and we're like hey let us just get in the ring like you guys don't have twins whatever so they flew us to mcdonough georgia and we had a four-day tryout and we fell in love we're like no you guys it was amazing so they gave us pennies and we drove to tampa florida and started wrestling school and they were just like listen you're not on the roster you're not signed yet until you can prove yourselves so it took us

14 months to really prove ourselves and we were signed with the company yes like not only i said main roster and so and then we debuted on smackdown that's so crazy yeah it was do you still have the t-shirts you wore gosh i had them i think i still do you do i i think you gotta bring those out i need to release a photo i need to see a pic yeah i know we need it i'll send you guys some yeah and at wrestling school were they like okay here's a false eyelash and a smoky eye like at what point where did you become this glam because we are such tomboys we were such tomboys so it was actually they weren't even like that at training like it was all about learning wrestling it was until you made it up to tv when it was all about the glam and and i even felt like nicole and i when we

first started ww on tv um we weren't as glam as the other girls like we were like whoa like we need to figure out this makeup deal our outfits sexy thing like we didn't realize like you had to go out and have that sex appeal too like we just always thought like athletes so like i mean then i didn't even have my girls like so we never had cleavage we never showed butt cheeks like we are so covered up but what was cool about it is we were like the first to really gain like a little kid following yeah because of that yeah right and they loved the twins twins are like circus freaks to them yeah whoa they look like and we dress alike in the beginning right i love that yeah so we got a huge kid following um where none of the other women did i mean it was like too sexy

I also thought it was really, I saw an episode where your family set you up on a blind date you didn't know you were having yeah and i'm just happy that journey's over for you what a blind date did you go with a bachelor person yeah peter oh yeah he's the new bachelor

no he's no he's not no no no the windmill guy the guy from the blind date no he's on the bachelor what yes the guy from no what you're are you talking about the family dinner one or yes the awkward family oh andre um new york model well that's your first problem so mad i could tell that was so real who was he i'd kill my sister jj met him at a bar my brother and my mom my mom said he was hot by the way so then he barely knew her husband goes wait you met him you did a lap around the bar so then that was a thing and i was just like you want to hear the best thing ever they didn't air this part after the date we're all staying outside and we're all like kind of uncomfortable i'm like oh do you want to come grab a drink with us we're gonna grab a drink he goes

no i have girl waiting for me no no wait did he know what he was doing i don't know he was like sweating and shaking the whole time and i made it i was so you were bitchy and like i just was like this the whole time and it was such an uncomfortable vibe and it made everyone so uncomfortable and there'd be these moments of awkward silence and i was just like i hate our production team i hate everyone everyone like you guys set me up like i'm so glad that's over me too wait then what was the thing with peter dating well then peter and i went on a blind date so but this is not peter the pilot no this is peter was on the bachelor he was on rachel lindsey's season this is one of the final two the gap the gap he's hot he was cute yeah and i'll admit

amazing guy like we so they asked me to go hey would you go on a date with peter and they showed me his photos i'm like oh cool because i don't watch the bachelor bachelorette so i was like oh yeah you know from the looks of him like it seems like it could work so i literally went when he walked in and like i think he brought flowers right like yeah i was so nervous and that was like the first time like i met him like hey it was so awkward but he legit tried to kiss me at the end and i was like i don't even know if they showed like how loud i yelled no because I was like, no. And I'm like, oh my God, I mean, shit, how do you do this again?

But I was just like, I mean, even that was really rough. I just got drunk and I was like, we were all going to have sex with them, but she didn't. Oh, we all wanted to know. Yeah. No kiss. No, no, no second date. Were you just not into it? No.

It felt like friend vibes. And then in my head I was like, and I wasn't over my ex like at all and still like thinking about the decision I made. and so then being around these men it's weird when they come on to you and you're in that space you're not ready for it so grossed out yeah you get very turned off yeah you're like don't touch me don't look at me like you just it's weird and that's when Artem we met or we met we went out he has to be the farmer's market it was the Sherman Oaks one which I never knew had a lot of paparazzi and Artem I was like yeah well and I still because it's weird you get this relationship

when you dance together and so we like you you're forced to talk forever and you know we had great chemistry so we're like going to the farmer's market right here and it was so nice just to be around someone who just it didn't feel forced or anything like that and I look up and I see paparazzi I'm like oh my gosh and I see another one and I just walked away and left them walked all the way to where the Vons is at I got in my car and I drove off and he goes and he literally was like picking I think a tomato oh and he was like where's you and I just left because I got so nervous i didn't know and he didn't know he had no he like went to back be like yeah i was and then there's photographers taking pictures of him looking for you i think there's one where

i was like by the meets like by the stoplight and artem was in the back like looking like there's one that i was crying laughing because i could see artem way in the back looking a certain way and i was out because i was just i was in such a place because it was like i didn't want people to think i was in where i was with my ex because of him right so i wouldn't i didn't talk to artem for so long because i was like sorry i'm not going to be that stereotypical dancing with the stars pro and celeb i i'll never even when we first started dating there were times i was like i can't do this yeah because i just was like i don't want to be in that group like i wouldn't hang around any like of those people i just ew it just felt weird i didn't want to be a part of

that but um wait so have you heard from your ex since being with artem i have um i haven't heard from him recently but um we were talking actually up until a few months ago really like two months right i think it's i think that's impossible i think that's a hell that's a bella hella no because i'm i i think it's too hard to be you can be friends in 10 years i agree you know what i mean well there's somebody that's yeah you got to be out of each other's lives for a long time and just heal because i don't believe you ever get over someone you just change your life and so then like you can come back at the high school reunion and be like it's good to see you how are you and like you'll always know each other in a way that no one else will know you and stuff but

like i don't know the staying friends like right away right i have to hate and that's why we first yeah we took more he actually chose it more like no more communication yeah because i'm just kind of like love everyone who cares like i could do it but at the end it was my decision so i get where it's easier and that's where we finally I always thought you could do that and you're right

it has to be 10 years down the road there's just still too many fresh emotions and especially being Artem yeah and it's hard to grow

I mean you were our last interview together on the oh my god the red carpet at the movie we broke up like a month after that

that was our last you know what I think you were our last interview I think that it wasn't I could tell not I could tell but like you had been

on and off you know and I was like ooh we're in a bad place that body language was like it seemed like you were being forced to be there together and not because you wanted like you were there and you were like oh i gotta be here gotta show up because i'm the wifey but like you know it was like not wifey but you know what i mean like yeah but i'm happy for you okay enough about you a hell yes oh for oh her and artem yes i am i'm hella yes yeah girl yes bella yeah i love it or bella yes but are you always like yay i love everything she does or there's no i actually didn't like artem in the beginning at

all yeah i was totally against the relationship but i was like tell us more i would even talk to him it was wait why and i was like you can't meet my kid um i love you i mean the poor guy like i was team john i wanted her and john to work it out i i think as i went through everything with her and john and like i know both of them so well and i got to see the relationship like away from tv and just we're always all traveling together so i was like i don't know nicole like sometimes like i'm in marriage like brian i have ups and downs like you gotta roll through it you know wasn't the deal breaker that he did not want children and you did yeah but then he came back and was kind of like i'll give you a kid and but that was still tough you don't have a kid with

that guy you're not gonna get any help i'll give you a kid yeah and you know when they say like distance makes the heart grow fonder that's bullshit no it doesn't like i get where you can miss someone but then there comes a point after missing and i'm so happy for his career i was always very supportive what i lacked in our relationship was i didn't communicate that i just was the cheerleader like go do all this instead of being like hey i'm really lonely like i need you right so when i was getting closer to the wedding i just had these emotions of like this is the rest of my life like i'm always going to be alone and then now that he wants to have a kid but it's because i want the kid then it's just the kid and i yeah and i just and i know you did i was

like your husband yeah there was just certain things where i was like this is not what i envisioned the rest of my life and even though i i think the hardest decision of it was i'm still so in love with this person but yeah at the same time i'm so miserable and i was like i can't live like this and that happens more than you think i just had a friend who was dating this guy and they'd been together years and she was like well i'm ready to get married and have a baby and he's like i'm still five or six years away from that because he was a little bit younger than her and she was like i love this man but like he's not going to give me the life i want you have to choose yourself and that's very brave yeah i don't think it is it is but i ended up liking

artem yeah like after i started to really meet him all that and i started to see them together i was like okay he's growing on me like i guess i don't hate you i like the dancer so at what appointed you i love that he's not meeting my yeah i wouldn't let him i was like i mean you had to hear how she would be about it yeah i was like artem's not coming right because i don't want him there like as if he was like you're going to kidnap i was i was such a bitch that's amazing he was terrified i mean he was so scared of me if she would be facetiming me with birdie she would tell me like don't let artem get in the screen yeah and he could hear my god so did he like where are you down or how did you start to actually like him i don't know how did i start

liking him i don't know you're a bitch you're hard to break you just decide one day he didn't and now her little girl is probably taking a shower is obsessed with art and she calls him a oh she's obsessed obsessed with him he's so good to her well and i didn't want it to be this thing where like nicole was going to be bringing all these different men to meet birdie i'm like okay she said that too by the way to me i was like like some floozy if i'm running some like house and like i don't know me for sex and like you're gonna be birdie before you could have sex with me she's the gatekeeper yeah she collects because i think like that's a sister relationship is different from any friendship where like it's the only

person that can be about Ruthless and Bitchy where you're not going to, I mean, you're always going to know it's coming from a good place. Like, there's no way that it isn't. So you have to take it. It's so true. And the bond is like, oof. Oh, yeah. And I wanted to fill his motives and I was like, well, why is he

pushing hard to be with me on? I needed to fill it all out. You're like, you're not that great. What the hell is going on? And then I came in with my encyclopedia. I'm like, dancer sex 101. A slipper dolphin of men. Wait, is he pissed he's not dance with the stars he'll be back next year oh yeah he was so hurt they they legit cut him

three or four days before the gma announcement did he have a partner but they were they locking down people till the night before gma because i was really trying to be on it but you have to be a star you are a star you should have been on it so they have had them on hold since what is it march since the tour ended and that's no compensation so and he can't do anything else no and you guys know entertainment you book fall jobs in the beginning of summer right so you cut him for i think i was more mad he was just you were definitely more mad upset like he was sad he cried so hard you guys when they got off the phone like i didn't even know what to do because i did not think for a second like yeah artem's one of the best ballroom dancers amazing choreographer

he had such an amazing meeting with them and what they wanted the season to be like that was art i'm And Artem's always been about showcasing the celebrity, pro at ballroom. And so when they called him four days before and all they said was, sorry, you don't fit in this season. That was it. And I was just like, you know, at least give compensation because now he can't book any jobs for the fall. And that just like really, it disappointed me because he's been so good to that company.

And I'm hoping that they could still have a relationship. like I'm the feisty chihuahua so I have to like always settle down art I'm such a sweetheart yeah but then I was like I just don't want him to get taken advantage of right and I just am like where it just wasn't fair and I know nothing's like things aren't fair but to me that was like yeah I think the only they've made a lot of changes this season and the the one big mistake is they brought in too many new people yeah they wanted to freshen up the show which they've changed like the ending is now you have a bottom two and they walk forward and then the judges get to save one of them so it's not the people's vote anymore it's like the judge is based on technique which i love

but they brought in like a ton of new dancers and it's like i don't know who to look at because i don't recognize anyone i think the show for the dancer right totally they're celebrities too yeah i agree no i mean that paparazzi is following them at the farmer's market yeah exactly they want to know who they're dating but by the way they're the best like sex so come on guys he'll be back next year they always flip people in and out it's true and he's doing the right thing which is like he's keeping it kind of to himself but not like because other people have been like yeah he's just letting you wear it out yeah lady gang can help them yeah the lady gang if you want to help you can actually tweet dancing with the stars and be like where the

fuck is artem yeah that's what you gotta do be like where is he he's the only reason i watch i don't care if you watch or not just say that yes i heard he is great at sex yeah amazing at He has sex and has great pecs. He's incredible. Get the sexual Russian back. Well, you guys are not going to help us figure out our lives because we ran out of time. We talked too much. That means it's a good interview.
