And on the psychology of your twenties, we are taking a vulnerable look at why mental health is so hard to talk about. Prepare for our conversations to go deep. I spent the majority of my teenage years, of my 20s, just feeling absolutely terrified. I had a panic attack on a conference call. Knowing that she had six months to live, I

was no longer pretending that this was my best friend. So this Mental Health Awareness Month, take that extra bit of care of your wellbeing.

That's a beautiful thing. All right, y'all, let's get into it. First up on the front page, in case you missed it, Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Ross Baraka is out of jail after being arrested on Friday for allegedly trespassing at an ICE immigration detention center. Now DHS spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin described the facility saying it houses

MS-13 gang members and rapists. While President Trump's acting US Attorney for New Jersey, Alina Habba, made the arrest and here's what she had to say about it in part. Let's take a listen to it. The mayor has publicly for three days been saying that he's going to break in, eventually did break in, was given multiple opportunities to remove himself. We will not stand for anybody getting in the way of getting rid of criminals in this country. It's very simple. So Mayor Baraka, he spoke out about the incident following his release, saying he felt like

he was targeted, his rights were violated, and he's weighing his legal options moving forward. Let's take a listen to his comments. I'm the mayor of the city. I have the right to go anywhere in this city, particularly in places where I think our laws are being violated. I will confer with my lawyers to figure out

what's the best pathway forward on this. I think they completely violated my rights. They obviously targeted me. It was more than, I wasn't the only one out there. They came directly to me Uh and tried to arrest me. No, no one else So baraka he's urging fellow democrats to continue to push for access to ice detention centers Uh in the ice detention center where he was arrested. Um, it's giving good trouble necessary trouble, but uh democrats democratic

Representative rob menendez, Jr., LaMonica McIver and Bonnie Watson Coleman were also involved in the incident at Delaney Hall. Watson claims the Trump administration is acting like a quote dictatorship in its pursuit to arrest immigrants in the country illegally. Let's take a listen to Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman's comments. We the people will make sure that this administration adheres to the rules that separate us from dictatorships in other third world countries. Democratic Rep Rob Menendez Jr. added that this is unacceptable and should shake every American to their core and our collective core is what he had to say. What do you guys think about that?

I mean, you guys are up there in the region in the general vicinity of the area. How does this make you feel? I don't think this is just about a regional thing. Like you know, yes, no, no, not at all. But this is definitely the precedent. Yeah, especially when we just saw a judge get locked up two weeks ago. I mean, you know, these things happen so fast that we tend to forget, but we just saw a judge get locked up a couple of weeks ago. So it's not just

a regional thing. I mean, I don't know how it's going to play out to be totally honest with you. I'm not going to be up here on this radio acting like I got, you know, these predictions or I know what's going to happen. I don't know what's going to happen in this country from this point on. Well, does it does it scare you? I mean, in a sense that, you know, I believe in God. So don't scare me. But you know, I believe in God so it'll scare me But you know, it's just I just don't know how everything's gonna play out All right, so I try it's not trending in the right way. I tell you that much. No, not at all

No, not at all. Um, but you know, that's your front page news for 6 a.m This is a situation that I will continue to keep an eye on as it is close to home for you guys And then at 7 we will get into what's going on with the New York City Mayor Eric Adams. He had a meeting with President Trump on Friday so I will get into that. All right. See you next hour Morgan. Everybody else get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

Get it off your chest 885 105 one now we got the latest will already look very demure this morning Or you own a horse Very wealthy, uh-huh. Yeah, the very wealthy very attorney.

because court was actually halted on Friday. And we're gonna talk about why, because remember I was here and I was like, y'all court is over already? Very odd, but we're gonna talk about what went down and how that's gonna affect today today is the first day of opening statement So this is a big day for puff in court now. I heard there was a rumor that Cassie might take the stand today I don't already that's what they said. That's what I heard on 1010 wins. That's what I heard on news this morning

We'll get into it. Okay. All right, we'll get into that next guy. It's the breakfast club. Good morning the breakfast club Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight face. Tell her, tell her, man.

She gets into somebody that knows somebody. She gets to details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on you. It's like she's having the beans. The lunch. The latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have details.

Sometimes you have a little bit. Everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Okay, so the Diddy trial will continue today, May 12th, but today is a really, really big day because opening statements will begin for both the prosecutors and Diddy's team on the defense. But before that starts, they have to select the jury. They were supposed to have done this on

Friday. That was supposed to be the last day of this. But the Diddy's team came in and said, because of cold feet, we shouldn't do it today. What do you mean cold feet? So Diddy's team alleged that if they were to have selected the final members of the jury on Friday, those jury members would have had all weekend to sit, get nervous, get a little scared, basically. Like, they didn't want that to happen. So they were like, look, we feel like because of how high-stake this case is, because of the person that is in question, talking about Puff, we should wait until Monday right before we start the opening statements.

They have a pool of 43 jurors, men and women. They have them narrow that down to 12 definite jurors and six alternates. So the judge agreed. He said, you know what? You're right. I agree. Let's wait until right before opening statements. We'll choose a jury and then boom, we'll go right.

We'll swear them in. We'll go right into the actual opening statements from prosecutors in the defense. So they're expecting this to be a speedy trial then? The judge has been very, very adamant about wanting a sick to schedule. He doesn't even timing like this week court is gonna go from nine to five. He's like next week we're gonna do nine to three. We're not gonna be in here all day. We won't get this done.

I think even with the jury thing, I'm not wanting to pick over the weekend is because they don't want to miss apps. They don't want to have to. Yo K-pop fans, it's your boy Bom Han and I'm bringing you something epic. Introducing the K-Factor, the podcast that takes you straight into the heart of K-pop. We're talking music reviews, exclusive interviews, and deep dives into the industry like never before. From producers and choreographers to idols and trainees, we're bringing you the real

stories behind the music that you love. And yeah, we're keeping it a hundred, discussing everything from comebacks and concepts to the mental health side of the business. Because K-pop isn't just a genre. It's a whole world and we're exploring every corner of it. And here's the best part. Fans get to call in, drop opinions, and even join us live at events. You never know where we might pop up next.

So listen to the K-Factor on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. This isn't just a podcast, it's a movement. Are you ready? Let's go. Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles, break free from the chains of trauma, and silence the negative voices that have kept them small. Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance, you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you. You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify. The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain.

This is the struggle. This is the thing that's in front of me. You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into it. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible and step boldly into the best version of yourself to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all. So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being and climb your personal mountain. Because it's impossible for you to be the most authentic you. It's impossible for you to love you fully if all you're doing is living to please people.

Your mountain is that. Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I found out I was related to the guy that I was dating. I don't feel emotions correctly. I am talking to a felon right now, and I cannot decide if I like him or not. Those were some callers from my call-in podcast,

Therapy Gecko. It's a show where I take real phone calls from anonymous strangers all over the world as a fake gecko therapist, and try to dig into their brains and learn a little bit about their lives. I know that's a weird concept, but I promise it's pretty interesting if you give it a shot.

Matter of fact, here's a few more examples of the kinds of calls we get on this show. I live with my boyfriend, and I found his piss jar in our apartment. I collect my roommates' toenails and fingernails. I have very overbearing parents. Even at the age of 29, they won't let me move out of their house.

So if you want an excuse to get out of your own head and see what's going on in someone else's head, search for Therapy Gecko on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's the one with the green guy on it. This week on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler, Connie Britton is here. I think you should encourage your friend to go ahead and not be holding out for any man to have her babies. If she is passionate about becoming a mother and she has her eggs frozen and she has her life together, go for it.

She could be waiting another 10 years before she finds the right guy. Connie didn't meet her right guy until you were what, 50, Connie? How long have you guys been together? Yeah, no, 52. 52. I adopted my son as a single mom because I kept thinking, oh, I'm gonna meet the guy,

I'm gonna meet the guy, I'm gonna meet the guy. I finally was like, what am I waiting for? And I did it. And I'm just so glad that I did. I wanna change the narrative about single parents and also help to create a community for single parents so that they can not feel alone in it. One of the big things is it's so hard especially for women to ask for help. Listen to Dear Chelsea on the iHeart

radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Get more people back in if the six alternates fall through like they just want to get through, yeah he wants to get through it. Is that good or bad that they seem like they're trying to get through this fast? I don't think it's a bad thing to judge seems really, really, really fair at the way that he's like handling both sides of it. Prosecutors did push back on it a bit and I think it's just because for them, they don't care about that. Like they want,

I want the truth. I just want the speedy trial. We want the truth. We want people to be able to divulge to the facts and all that. I mean, it's still eight weeks. Like eight weeks is still a time period for a trial. That's enough time. But if there's more time needed, it seems like the judges is fair on both sides. But anyway, so today, prosecutors and the defense will present their opening statements. Now, Envy, you had a question about Cassie testifying.

Yes. I think I heard on the news on my way and they said Cassie might be testifying today. Well, there have been photos that came out of her last week at the end of the week of a question about Cassie testifying. I think I heard on the news on my way and they said Cassie might be testifying today. Well there have been photos that came out of her last week at the end of the week of very very pregnant in New York. It is expected that she's supposed to testify this week but for her to testify today those opening statements from both sides will have to be really really short. I'm told by a source close to the case that it's possible but for that to happen today

it would like they would have to literally get through their opening statements super fast. But it all depends on what strategy the prosecutors are trying to take. Typically, you wouldn't lean on a witness for your opening statements, but it depends on where they're going with it. Also too, Cassie's really, really pregnant. So I think that that's going to play a part too, and both sides wanted to make sure they can get her on a stand early on because once she's out she's out.

That's going to be a very stressful environment for her to be pregnant and be on that stand and the way they're going to press her and you know be bringing up all type of stuff that I'm sure that you know she may not want to be have divulged. That's going to be a lot. Yeah I talked about this on the podcast the latest with Lauren LaRosa that's actually interesting point because if I'm a prosecutor and I'm pressing or even a defense did he seem and I'm pressing Cassie The visual of a very pregnant woman sit on a stand being pressed can turn like if I'm a person I'm like oh my god Yes, like what are you doing to her?

Pregnancy brain is real. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, so some things can be blurry clear I don't know. I don't remember what happened. You know what I'm saying? Like she pregnant, like in her third trimester, right? Yeah, she, let me, before I say, yeah, let me look that up. I just know she's, I didn't remember things that happened the day before sometimes when I was pregnant. So it's like, yo, they asking her, it's just gonna, it's gonna be stressful for her. But they gotta go back and forth with her, right?

They gotta go to the facts, but like you said, it's gonna look so crazy. There ain't gonna be no back and forth. There's gonna be a full court press. Okay? They're gonna throw everything in the book at Cassie. But how is Diddy's team gonna be looking, going full court press with this woman who's pregnant?

You gotta be strategic. You gotta do it where you get to what you need to get to, but you don't look like you're like being angry. They're like being upset with her. He don't care. He's fighting for his life. I mean, 100%. But the jury's here.

But the jury's here. I feel like you don't want the jury to feel like you're attacking a pregnant woman. They're going to do that because the picture that they're going to paint of Cassie is you not innocent. That's what they're going to try to paint her. 100%. 100%. You were complicit in all of this and probably an accessory in some cases.

That's how they're going to try to paint her. Oh yeah, they've already started kind of leaning into that. Now, as far as how far along Cassie is, she announced her pregnancy in February 2025. So according to Google, she's six, maybe seven months at this point. She's yeah in the photo, she looked very pregnant. Now I'd already told you guys that from what I was told Cassie did not want to testify. Victim three, as we know, as of today still does not want to testify and is telling them she does not plan on coming to court. There is now a victim five. I know puffs team was trying to keep victim five out of the conversation or whatever, but victim five, if victim five does testify will testify with she's not going to be able

to hide her identity. This is according to some documents that TMZ recently obtained and this victim is going to testify as a witness that did he committed an act of sexual misconduct allegedly in the past that he's but he's not being charged for this act in the case. Do any of the victims have penises because you know there was a lot of talk about male stuff. Did that make it to the courtroom?

I know that was a lot of chatter online but did it make it to the court? All of the victims that I know of are women at this point and we were we all y'all had some questions about what happens if victims don't show up? Great question. See I don't know that. You know you gotta be strategic. I probably won't know until I see. Okay. And all those suits, because a lot of Diddy's lawsuits got dropped right? On the civil side, some of them, yes there's a number of them. So the Rodney one got dropped right? That's the one they took a shower and he's making beats in the shower or something like that. But that's on the civil side.

I mean, to your point though, I'm sure that they're going to try and make clean claims on the criminal side seem like really outrageous because we've watched that on the civil side, but civil criminals. They have no way. Yeah. With the civil cause they have. Yeah. Yeah.

Burden of proof is different. But yeah, so that kicks off today. I'll be there. I will be there. Arbery on Lauren. La Rosa will be there. Yes dressed as Colonel Sanders But it's like a cute little kernel period Question that's what you look like a question. That's what she looks like. Yeah Like role-playing with your man, she gets you need a man first. You need to mind your business. You got something? Good.

All right. Now that is it and that is all for now, but I will be back with more because it's going to be a long day in court. What time you got to be there? I need to be there by 830 a.m. Okay. Latest and that's like, honestly, I'm pushing it. Okay.

Yeah. All right. All right when we come back We got front page news and then Lizzo will be joining us. Don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast club. Good morning Morning everybody is DJ envy just hilarious. I'll amane the guy we are the breakfast club Let's get back at some front page news now quick sports Yesterday the Cavs lost to the Pacers 129-109, Indiana Leeds that series 3-1, the Thunder and Nuggets tied it series 2-2, Thunder beat the Nuggets 92-87. Tonight, the Knicks take on the Celtics at 7.30 and the Timberwolves take on the Warriors at 10pm. Let's go New York! Let's go New York!

This is a must-win game for the Knicks. It's a must-win game for the Knicks. I know, you know, people think that if the Celtics win, it's just tied. No, if the Celtics win, it's going to, no. The Celtics win, it's going to be tough. We lead the series 2-1 right now. We're going to win tonight. They should.

We're going to win at home tonight. We're going to win at home tonight. All right, good morning, Morgan. Good morning, good morning. All right, y'all, so let's get back into front page news. So President Trump is headed to the Middle East, and during his trip, he's expected to accept a luxury jet from the royal family of Qatar or Qatar,

it depends on how you pronounce it, based on where you are in the world. That's illegal. That's, he's reportedly expected to use this plane, this jet, as Air Force One, according to multiple sources reported to NBC. Now the Boeing 747-8 jet will then be moved to Trump's presidential library foundation following his White House term.

And of course, as you mentioned, Charlemagne, the lavish gift is sparking concerns amongst legal scholars as to whether or not it is a legal gift. See, we got to stop saying that Morgan. We just got to call it what it is. It is illegal. Like when you say spark questions, you know, amongst legal scholars on whether it's legal, it leaves it open for, you know, discussion. It's not, that's not a discussion. It's illegal. But is it illegal because... The US Constitution prohibits government officials from accepting gifts from any king, prince, or foreign state.

Sounds good. Alright, so it is illegal. Okay. All right. So the White House is previewing President Trump's upcoming visit to the Middle East. He will visit U.S. troops at the air base in Qatar, the largest U.S. military base in the region. And he will also be in Saudi Arabia, where he's supposed to get that jet and get an update on Israel-Gaza war ceasefire talks. Now, press secretary, Caroline Levitt said that Trump is going to reaffirm his commitment for a free and prosperous Middle East. Let's take a listen to her comments. President Trump will return to re-emphasize his continued vision for a proud, prosperous, and successful Middle East, where the United States and Middle Eastern nations are in

cooperative relationships and where extremism is defeated in place of commerce and cultural exchanges. So this comes as Hamas is set to release the last known living American hostage in Gaza as part of an effort to reach that ceasefire agreement. In a statement on Sunday, Hamas is said Israeli American Eden Alexander will be released to help achieve a ceasefire and allow humanitarian aid to flow into the Gaza Strip. US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff said he's traveling to Israel to secure Alexander's release, adding that the 21-year-old's family is ecstatic over the news.

This, this, you know, the, well, the ceasefire is an amazing thing, but you know, that, that jet that's, that leaves less to be desired. Like you said, that's, it's just a... Yeah. And that's why we can't ask desired like you said that's just a yeah and that's why we can't ask answers like we ask answers right we'll be like well is the jet illegal and what and what Envy did is what most people will do in that situation because you're like well is it illegal because we're not telling people point-blank yes it is well the reason I'm asking because you know and

this is gonna be bad but he does stuff so blatant I'm like there's no way it could possibly be yes and then the media have you saying I'm asking because you know, and this is gonna be bad, but he does stuff so blatant. I'm like there's no way it could possibly be Yes, exactly, but that's essentially what it is is that he's doing things and then it's like, okay Well, he's finding holes here and holes there and then he's gonna take There's no holes. This is just just blatantly legal This is corruption what happens when a federal judge blocks this? You know what I mean? Like it just, I don't, I don't see it.

The US constitution prohibits government officials from accepting gifts from any King, Prince of foreign state, but we're in a post-constitutional country. So I guess that document means nothing to this administration. So who cares? But think about this outside of it, just being widely illegal. These guys fund terrorist organizations How do we know they can't just make this plane to fall out the sky? And I know the Secret Service is gonna do a sweep of the plane

But it's probably loaded with listening devices and tracking devices. They're gonna have so much Intel on our country Why now you ain't you beware the noble gesture? It's a Trojan horse. Oh, no. All right, y'all switching gears. Baseline tariffs of 10 percent are likely to stay in place as the U.S. negotiates trades deals with countries around the world. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CNN State of the Union that foreign companies and countries and not foreign companies and countries and not Americans

will bear the burden of those tariffs. And Lutnick says trade deals with other countries will help American businesses. Let's take a listen to Howard Lutnick. We will not go below 10%. That is just not a place we're going to go. We will, country by country, address their particular issues.

Of course, we're going to have our shelves full of wonderful products made around the world, but we're going to make sure on their shelves that American products are finally given the fair treatment that they deserve. So Treasury Secretary Scott Benson said the Trump administration is closing in on a trade deal with China in a post on social media. President Trump described the meeting as very good, saying there was great progress made.

And of course, following the weekend's talk in Switzerland, Vincent said the two countries have agreed to pause their reciprocal tariffs for 90 days with both sides lowering their rates by 115%. Chinese goods had been hit with tariffs as high as 145% under the Trump administration and Beijing in turn applied a 125% levy on some US goods. But it looks like things are going to try or at least they're

trying to strike a deal where some of that eases and bringing things to home to you guys in New York. The last story, the Department of Justice is releasing scores of documents in the permanently dropped federal corruption case of New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The release comes as Adams met privately with Donald Trump on Friday in Washington, D.C. to talk about various issues impacting New York City and New Yorkers. Let's take a listen to their comments. I think he came in to thank me, frankly.

I mean, I would say the primary reason, but he was very nice. He's a nice man. To talk about infrastructure, to talk about the coordination we could have, major projects and all the things that New Yorkers feel are important. So the judge in this case had ordered their release, the release setting the Friday as the deadline and after media outlets demanded to see more of these documents. Now more than 1000 pages were released that include court exhibits and unredacted warrants. The DOJ's dismissing of the case also has stirred up a lot of controversy

saying that many feel like Adams is indebted to president Trump. And would you say, uh, Charlamagne from the audio, thank them. Oh no, cause it's just, it's just the way he said it. He basically, he said he basically came to kiss the ring. That's what yeah. Yeah. President Trump, president Trump alluded to, alluded to Adam saying that he thought he came over there to pretty much thank him, but he did say he was a nice guy.

So you know, I don't know, I'm curious to see how what New Yorkers think, you know, I know y'all got an election coming up, so I'm not gonna get too much into that. But yeah, that's your front page news. You can follow me on socials at Morgan Media and for more news coverage, follow at Black Information Network, download the free iHeartRadio app and visit us at BINnews.com. And yes, congratulations to all the graduates like you mentioned Envy and Howard University actually set a record. They had their largest graduating class in history.

3,160 students in the school's history. The oldest was 72 and the youngest was 19. Isn't that a beautiful thing? That is. That is amazing. Yeah, I just want to put that out there. A little positive note. That's a little glimmer of light, you know what I mean? So, yeah.

So, we'll move to all the graduates of 2025. 2025 graduating class. You see y'all. Alright, y'all. Y'all have a good one. Thank you, you too, girl. Now, when we come back, Lizzo will be joining us. So, don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Long La Rosa is here as well. And we got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Nizzle! Special! Hi!

Hey, welcome! What's up, everybody? How you feel? I feel good. You look good, everybody talks about, you? I feel good. You look good. Everybody talks about your physical appearance and how you lost weight, but to me, I see somebody that has changed mentally and spiritually.

I see somebody that's on a healing journey because you got a glow about you. You definitely have a glow. You glow, it's so serious, Lizzo. Yeah, thank you. Well, that's where it starts. I think I had to start with, you know, cleaning out my mind and my energy and clearing out all of the negativity around me. And I feel like

I released so much I was holding on to. And then it starts to manifest physically as well. Like that's why I don't call it a weight loss. I do call it a weight release because it started here. I got snatched here first and then my body just followed suit. So I do feel amazing. I feel like I've always been in a good place because I'm always a positive person. But I think that I was not aware of just like how much toxicity has started to kind of come around in my life. And I had a really beautiful period of isolation and clearing of that energy and now I just feel like, oh, I was holding on to so much. You got to let go. It's hard for me. I'm a

tourist. So I'll hold going. Yeah. Hard headed, stubborn, loyal, you know? So, but I'm so glad you feel that it's an aura thing. Yeah, you could definitely tell. You said Pilates helped a lot with it too, right? I started out with Pilates yeah because my back was hurting and that was the best way to get moving but I do a lot of things. I strength train, I do yoga sculpt, I hike, I play pickleball, I got a water bike, you know the little bike you put in the pool. Pilates was one of the best. I did Pilates with my daughter. You wait you do Pilates. Yeah Because I didn't want to go at first but it was you know, you do some stuff with your daughter Yeah, and I did it she's 21 23 and she took me to do Pilates Yeah, and it was the most amazing thing all my aches all my pains. Yeah, I was able to stretch it out

It was it was I'm the only guy in there. Yeah, which is crazy because Pilates that's a man. His name is Joseph Pilates. Correct. A man created it and is designed to help you with longevity. He lived to be like, well, I mean, I think he passed away in a house fire, but he could have lived to be like 200 years old. They just gotta change the music a little bit. Sometimes that music just don't be for me.

What, they be playing Lizzo? No, they don't be playing Lizzo. Hands up, check my nails. Stuff that motivates you to keep doing it. Sometimes I just need a little trap Pilates. What you want to hear? A little trap music sometimes? Trap Pilates is crazy. You better trademark that for somebody. Take it in Atlanta. Now actually one of our friends up there has that.

Weezy. Weezy does trap Pilates. Yeah, Trap House Fitness. Weezy does that. She has a spot in New York that does trap Pilates. Weezy from the Decisions to Decisions podcast. She has an actual place called Trap House Fitness and that's what they do. It's called Pilates.

Okay. But is it called Trap Pilates? No. Because I'm a branding girl. I'm a branding girl. I'm a branding girl. I'm a branding girl. I'm a branding girl. I'm a branding girl. I'm a branding girl. New York that does trap pilates. From the Decisions to Decisions podcast. She has an actual place called Trap House Fitness and that's what they do. But is it called Trap Pilates? Because I'm a branding girl.

I'm a trademark that. It's Trap House Fitness. I don't know. Oh, that's cool. Well, okay. Trap Pilates is not taken. Listen, it's a billion dollar idea. There you go.

You've always had a form of self-love that people can see, but I feel like it's just more radical now. Yeah. I think it has to be. I have to fight for it a little bit more, but I think I always had to fight for it though, actually. I just think it's just like, as your life changes and different things happen to you,

you gotta move differently. Yeah, I think it's just a life thing. You can't handle every situation in your life the same. You get older, you grow up, everybody can relate to that. At what point in your career did you get to this point where you even talk about that side of it more? Because I feel like when you first came out, even when you did talk about stuff that wasn't as positive, you still kept it so positive.

But now that you stream, you really get into how you feel for real, what you're going through. It was a lot more protected when Lizzo first came on the scene from what I felt like the brand was protected a little bit more but now you're taking control over a lot more. Um, I don't know. I just think people know me a little bit more. So I think I'm able to communicate things and not put a bow on it or have a happy ending because y'all just know me more. I think when I first came out people didn't know me so the brand is very like one note

because it's like, oh, that's that girl. That's the happy girl who be twerking with the flute. You know, and, and, but that happens to everybody. Like any artist, you just become like a thing. You're not a person, but I think the more we get to know artists and the longer they're in the game, the brand becomes more multifaceted. And I think mine just expanded a little bit more. So I feel more comfortable communicating.

And I also I feel safer on stream talking about these kinds of things because I know I'm in a room with people who get me. Y'all understand me. You know me so I can tell you how the **** I'm feeling or what I went through and you know these real moments that I have. I can share that. And I heard you were saying that people are kinder there as well like it's a better sense of community on Twitch and streaming. That's good. When did you were you scared to before?

Were you scared to dive into that part? You know I always kind of flirted with it because I love like running my mouth and I love talking and I love talking to my fans. I've always been this person like with my social media. So I had a whole Twitch set up in my house just ready to go and I love talking and I love talking to my fans. I've always been this person like with my social media. So I had a whole Twitch set up in my house just ready to go. And I was like, I was like, I want a whole streaming set up that I want games, all of that, the Sims. And it was just in my house sitting there. And I was kind of intimidated by it. I would walk by it every day and be like, one of these days, I'm a stream.

One of these days. And then I remember my friend Solana, she was like, I'm about to be on Kaisana. I like pull up with me and I was literally I was like when she was like in Two hours. I said, okay, let me get myself together and like go pull up with my friend. Yes talking about? I know you know, but the average person might not know. I just had it. Were you at the show? Yeah. I didn't even know. I just like average people might not know that you're just casually talking about. I am so sorry. Rewind the track. Yeah. So SZA hit me and was like, I'm about to be on Kaisenat in like two hours. Can you pull up with me? And I was like, yeah, I'm gonna pull up with you. Cause I'm like, I was so afraid. Cause it's like, he has like hundreds and hundreds of thousands damn near million people watching and commenting in real time. Oh God,

that's terrifying. So I said, you know what, I'm a pull up. I'm a ride with my friend. And I was like, if anybody got anything negative to say, they'll say it about me. God damn it. You know, so I pulled up and I had so much fun and I was reading the chat and they were like, yeah, W Lizzo, yeah, W SZA, yeah, little emotes and s***. And I was like, oh, they're so nice. And that made me feel comfortable with diving into my own channel. I made Lizzo be twitching and Kai got me like 40,000 subscribers in like two seconds. He was like, everybody go spam Lizzo be be twitching right now and they all followed it

And I was like, okay now I have to straight Because they just gonna be sitting in there, you know Building a cache so that really helps. Would you say the therapeutic? Absolutely? Okay. I have to run my mouth I'm a life path three. I'm a communicator so Therapy was the beginning of that. That saved my life. Being able to talk to somebody once a week and just run my mouth and figure out my issues. I feel like when I communicate, when I write music, when I sing songs, when I go on tour,

when I talk to people, it is very healing. It is very connecting. I need to connect to feel good. I can't be disconnected. I go actually insane. I learned. You mean you can't be disconnected from people? Yeah, I can't be disconnected from people. I go insane. So at a point where you said you had to step back and isolate, that was kind of hard for you too since you had to, I mean, I know you had to do it and it all, you know, made sense and it made sense in the end, but it still was challenging for you because you have to be connected to people.

It was a little insanity, but I think in a little period of insanity can be helpful. Because you have to do really hard work. And I was at a point in my life where I the internet hated me and I could not trust the people around me like friends, family, co-workers, and I was severely depressed. And now I feel like I know who I am, I know whose I am, and can't nobody shake that. Because once I reintroduced myself back into connecting with people and friends and trusting the internet and you know, I'm like, I know who I am. I move with a different kind of confidence.

We still kicking it with Lizzo Lauren. Does it get on your nerves though that sometimes every single thing you do people still related to like wanting to talk about you in certain ways that you were at the Met Gala, the outfit went off. Every headline though is about your weight loss and not about how good you look. And I think that that's unfair. and it happens a lot with you. Does that get annoying to you where it's like, I can't move around that. Like people always want to talk about me.

Well, I signed up for it. I knew when, you know, back in 2014 and big girls weren't wearing leotards on stage and I said, I'm about to put me on one of these Beyonce dance leotards and I'm about to have big girls behind me wearing them too. Cause I, I knew that my body would be the focus of that conversation. And it was something that, cause it was unavoidable. I either I can hide and run from it and people are going to do it anyway. You know, it's like the big girl wearing your arms out theory. It's like, we know your arms big, whether you cover it up or not. We know your arms big, so either enjoy the outfit and wear your arms out or cover your

arms up. But we know what it is. So for me, I was just like, I'm just going to run head first into it. What I didn't know is that it would never go away. No matter how much my body changes, is that it would never go away. No matter how much my body changes, it's never going to go away. But I think that I have to just like accept that and I'm actually cool with it. It doesn't annoy me because I look good, you know, and even when I was bigger, I looked good. So it's like, say what you want. But there was

always someone in the comments being like, yeah, but she's still beautiful and she looks soft and face card never declines. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. What about the time, because I was reporting when all the lawsuit stuff happened and you didn't say anything for a long time, like not at all, which most people come out and say stuff. I was wondering the day that it was dropped, how did you feel? What was your thought process around that?

Because you were in isolation at that point, right? I was in Japan. Yeah. On a dream trip. Was it a breath of fresh air? Or did you feel like, but the conversation is still there and this is hard? Oh, it was very hard because I was confused. I was confused and I was a little like hurt. But I was in Japan with, it was my first time ever being in Japan. I was with my best friend and her

kids. We were at Hello Kitty World and I'm like crying in the car, but I'm like, okay, wipe your tears and go in there and have fun with the babies. Cause we had Hello Kitty World and you only do this once with these kids who've never been to Japan and that's their dream. So I did a lot of balancing between that. But I'll tell you one thing about Tokyo. They don't give a f**k what's going on in your personal life. In Tokyo, they're like, listen, let me take a picture. I'm like, okay. Like I had a great time.

Like nobody's nosy in Japan. And I think being there was God for sure because though I was dealing with a lot of inner turmoil and hurt, honestly, in shock, in confusion. I was in this place that didn't reflect that or throw that back at me. I had my first panic attack when I came back to LA for the first time after everything. The lawsuit had dropped and I was in Japan for like a month and I landed in America. I had a panic attack in the car because as I was walking through the airport, I was like, everybody hates me. Everybody's, you know, I got in my head

and I got in a car and I had this like. You were just having a heart attack. Yeah, I had this like pressure on my chest. Mind you, I've had anxiety attacks. That feels different than a panic attack. I had pressure on my chest. I said something's really wrong. I couldn't use my limbs or my body.

And I was like, I literally crawled to my bed and just like my body and I was like I literally crawled to my bed and just like broke down. I was like what's happening to me? I talked to my doctor and was like yeah you had a panic attack. You're dealing with it my whole life. Yeah and I think America, everybody want to know everybody's business here. So I assume I it's this weird almost like invisible I'm not a victim so I don't want to say attack but it was like you know this pressure or this like I don't know it's like implied energy in America where I'm like oh I need to hide versus Japan I could be a Hello Kitty world and everyone's like

And you were attacked, you were a victim. I was right, I know you say you're not a victim but it's like no, somebody lies on you. You were a victim. You were attacked. You were attacked. You were a victim. You were not a victim, but it's like, when somebody lies on you. You were a victim. Yeah. Yeah, man. Is that when you started thinking people hated you? Cause I wonder, do you remember what the industry felt like or what social media even felt like before that lawsuit?

It felt very like silly and lighthearted. And I had like a lot of freedom to just scroll and not see nothing about me.

I am talking to a felon right now,

and I cannot decide if I like him or not. Those were some callers from my call-in podcast, Therapy Gecko. It's a show where I take real phone calls from anonymous strangers all over the world as a fake gecko therapist and try to dig into their brains and learn a little bit about their lives. I know that's a weird concept, but I promise it's pretty interesting if you give it a shot. Matter of fact, here's a few more examples of the kinds of calls we get on this show. I live with my boyfriend,

and I found his piss jar in our apartment. I collect my roommates' toenails and fingernails. I have very overbearing parents. Even at the age of 29, they won't let me move out of their house. So if you want an excuse to get out of your own head and see what's going on in someone else's head, search for Therapy Gecko

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's the one with the green guy on it. This week on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler, Connie Britton is here. I think you should encourage your friend to go ahead and not be holding out for any man to have her babies. If she is passionate about becoming a mother

and she has her eggs frozen and she has her life together, go for it. She could be waiting another 10 years before she finds the right guy. Connie didn't meet her right guy until you were what? 50 Connie? How long have you guys been together? Yeah, no, 52.

52. 52. I adopted my son as a single mom because I kept thinking, oh, I'm going to meet the guy, I'm going to meet the guy, I'm going to meet the guy. I finally was like, what am I waiting for? And I did it. And I'm just so glad that I did. I want to change the narrative about single parents

and also help to create a community for single parents so that they can not feel alone in it. One of the big things is it's so hard, especially for women, to ask for help. Listen to Dear Chelsea on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If I just see two Z's, my heart start racing and I scroll to the f***er than pizza.

But I was like, ah! And I just kept scrolling, so it felt a little bit more hostile, but I'll say in general, I think the internet has gotten more hostile for everybody. Like out of nowhere. It used to be so fun and lighthearted. And now everybody is beefing and quarreling and dropping tea. And I'm just like, whoa, when did this happen? But that's when it happened for me.

I was like, oh, I have to get off. And so from, I would say October 2023 to maybe even like April 2024, I wasn't on my phone at all. I threw my phone away. I had my team post things for me because I had to post about YIDDI and I had to post about little things I wanted to share with people. I didn't want to completely disappear because that's not who I am, but my team posted it for me and I did not scroll. I did not look at the internet because I was too sensitive and I think I don't think I

could have handled it. And I'll also say this in reference to the lawsuit. I would say in light of all of the other like high-profile lawsuits that have been coming out Comparatively the allegations against me. I think now we see we're just like kind of ridiculous, you know, I cracked my knuckles You know like a good time in the strip club to me and mind you it was going to the strip club It doesn't say that I did anything like I didn't do anything to anyone in that strip I just went to the strip club and then like being fat phobic for firing someone for gaining weight, that just wasn't true.

But that was hilarious. It wasn't true though. I know, but just to, it was hilarious. Just to read that. Right. It was like, what? Because it didn't make sense. Like what am I talking about?

That's why nobody believes it. It's like, come on. Right, but I also have to say like, one of my fears is I don't want my situation and my lawsuit to be an indicator on any other that's going on. I don't want it to invalidate any other actual, because I will always stand for real victims of, of sexual harassment and sexual violence and anything.

I will always stand for them and ride for them. So I don't want what happened to me to kind of invalidate anything else going on in the world. And that was really important to me, which is why I was quiet for a long time because I still want to protect victims. How does that not change you? Right? How does that not change Lizzo as a person? I did though. Because now do you still go out with people? Do you still feel as free? Do you still, are you still the Lizzo that?

Oh baby, no! Hell no! Baby, yeah! You see what I'm saying? Because it changes you as a person and is that a good thing or bad thing? I think it's an amazing thing. I am, you know what? God really loves me. I have to say that.

And I feel like everything that happens to me is God and God is preparing me for something that I don't even know about. But I feel like I readied myself now as I feel like a boss, like I feel like a better boss. I feel like a better friend. I feel like I know how to run a big operation, you know, because mind you back to the pandemic thing, I blew up in 2020. In 2019, I had maybe four crew members.

I had one roadie. I had a tour manager and two dancers. And then the world shut down in 2020 and I blew up and I did my first arena tour after being in isolation for two years. And I'm suddenly standing in a room with 70, 80 people that I'm like, I don't, I don't, I want to know everybody's names that works for me. And it was really weird. And I got a crash course and being an arena level artist, a big artist, like after literally being an indie artist for 10 years and being in isolation for two years. So by the time I was running an arena level operation, I didn't have no practice in that.

I didn't have no experiences. And I learned the hard way how to be a boss, but I'm gonna be a better boss for it. And I'm really proud of myself. Yeah, if you're on my payroll, we're not going to the bar. We're not gonna have drinks together. You know what I'm saying? But I got friends for that. I got friends for that.

Okay, I got two friends. My best friend, Alexa, the real from H town, shout out Houston, Texas and shout out Shantae. We're still kicking it with Liz. Oh Charlamagne. So what do you how do you decide like what's for the stage or

what's for the public and what's sacred? Now, hmm, there's a lot that's sacred. You know, my my my barometer for what's for the world. If you really love something something keep it a secret if So there are things that I protect now that you know before I didn't think of it as protection

I thought of it as like oh my gosh, like i'm keeping something from my fans I'm keeping something from the public like I want you guys to see this like you should see this like I literally like the term hard large. I that was me, you know, I was because I was like, gosh, like love, like I want y'all to see this. This is so beautiful. And then the world got two seconds of my relationship and I was like, oh, yeah, I don't know how to act. I was literally just looking at how I was looking to see. I'm like, she ain't posting him in a minute. Y'all know how to act you do you lost your privileges? Yeah, so all you all that cute all that black love back in the vault

I mean, maybe I only saw the the positive stuff because I thought I saw a lot of people that's Yeah, but it was that bad cuz Because I was literally on my Instagram looking. I'm like, I didn't see how I posted in a minute. People were really positive. This isn't about like people. I do think that, you know, I don't want to give nobody an opportunity to destroy something good. And I found that it wasn't really necessarily about my relationship that people did that it was other things my other relationships

where that happened and I was like I don't even want to give you the opportunity no shade like no disrespect I love everybody thank you for being so cool but due to new management in my personal life I have to I have to protect this because I saw so much get destroyed by lies. And I didn't want that to happen to my relationship. So it's very protected. Yeah.

Do you have any tearjerkers on love in real life? We do. There's one song in particular that had to leave the room. There was like it ran out. I said, I'm sorry. I had like, oh, I'm gonna get sad even though it's not. I mean, sometimes I feel sad. I lost my dog. I lost my dog, and she was 20 years old. Can you see? What kind of dog?

Oh, she lived a long life. Maltese. Yeah. And I lost her like in the thick of it, December 2023, when I was like at my most depressed and then she left and I was like, mind you, 20 years, like she like a grandma to me, you know, and that really broke me down and I wrote a song about it. But it wasn't just about hookah. I sampled her voice on the song, but it was about loss in general. I lost my father very young and so it was a song about grief and death and I was like, don't put this on your album. Like I'm the happy girl.

I'm the positive spin. You know, I was like, you know what? I owe it to myself, not just to my fans or to myself to put a song like this on my album. And so there is a moment in there it's called phone to heaven and so that's a little tear-jerker. People who listen to your music they know why you're successful right but then you have some people who feel like you are only successful because at the time people were checking off boxes. You're a black woman, you're big, you know diversity of that type of stuff. What do you say to those people? I would say that I created that lane.

I don't think people were looking for diversity. I was undeniable, and that created the trend of checking boxes. I don't disagree that at a certain point, we started checking boxes. When it comes to checking a box of black, fat, woman, I'ma ride for that every time. I don't care.

I'm rooting for everyone black and I'm rooting for everyone fat black and woman. I don't care. You don't have to, if you're not the most talented person in the world and you got pushed through, yay. Because it happens to other people all the time who don't look like that and we deserve it.

But you not big no more, Lizzo. I am big. What we talk about? No you not. Baby I'm big. No, no. I'm bigger than you. You're not big no more, Lizzo. I am big. What are we talking about? No, you're not. You're not, Lizzo. Baby, I'm big. No. You're not the biggest anymore. No, you're not.

You say I'm the biggest. You're not the biggest. I'm not the biggest. I'm not the biggest. No, I said that. Big mama! She's not big. You ain't no big no more.

You still that Nazi? So now, OK, I'm in a room full of people I trust, right? The internet is like, oh, Lizzo's skinny now. I am well over 200 pounds. You know what I'm in a room full of people I trust right the internet is like oh Liz Oh skinny now I am I am well over 200 pounds. You know I'm saying five foot nine, but you're clearly Different direction. I got double numbered pants on right now No, no, okay. Yeah, cuz I know you look amazing. Thank you I think are you saying that you're bigger than what an industry standard is because you're not Yes, you are bigger than what some people would determine an industry. Yes, but that standard is like gone. It's 2025 people

I don't even think that's any pop star right now. Like I'm still bigger than them. Do you know what I mean? Is there a version of Lizzo we haven't seen yet and are you afraid to show her? I'm not afraid but I am protective. I think protection can be fear-based sometimes. A lot of people like a protective mother is like, oh I'm afraid something might happen to my child, let me be overly protective. So sometimes there's a like if y'all saw how I really you know am sometimes like when I'm working I feel like people wouldn't understand and it's like because I'm a, I feel like people wouldn't understand. Because I'm a very hard worker. I actually am.

Ask anybody in this industry, they're like, she wanted the hardest working. I think because I'm fat, the trope of, oh, she lazy or whatever comes in and I get that put on me. And so people don't put me in the category of the hard-working divas that we all know and love today. But I work very hard and I don't show that side because you get to just enjoy the show. You get to just enjoy the product. But though I work hard, I'm very kind to the people who I work with. I'm very measured.

I'm very fair. But it gets real. I love to work. But I'm not gonna pull back the curtain and show... There's other artists who do that. Like Beyonce pulls back the curtain for us and we see her work ethic and I respect that and I love that. And I'm like, exactly. When I see how she works, when she put that black hoodie on, I'm like, exactly. Because that's how the **** I get down too. Down to to the timing down to the sounds and the sonics of the music we put that work in and the and we don't show y'all because you're gonna say oh she's a like black women especially oh she's a so it's like we don't even want to show y'all because y'all are gonna judge us but we need but I love when

Beyonce does it because it puts respect on it that's how we get down so that that part I'm not gonna pull back the curtain because I already got enough allegations against me. Ouch! Lizzo, thank you. Thank you for the conversation. Thank you so much for doing this. Absolutely.

Keep doing the work, man. I love to see you glow up, mind, body, and spirit. Thank you. Blessings to you. Amen. That was great, y'all. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren be coming with straight face. She gets into somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on you. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. But what's the latest? On The Breakfast Club.

Talk to me. So Iman Shumpert is asking for Tiana Taylor to be held in criminal contempt of court and to be thrown in jail for 20 days. Okay, now y'all going too far. Come on, Iman. For what? Well, this is what, so he's basically saying that when Tiana Taylor spoke out, remember we reported in the room about the divorce agreement that they had and people were saying

she got this, she got that and then she came out and spoke for herself. She went live on Instagram and did a video and she spoke for herself. He's saying because of that she was, she's in contempt because their agreement which they reached back in July of 2024 stated that neither one of them were supposed to talk about terms of what the agreement was and she went online and she did so. I have the audio from that live. Let's take a listen to Tiana on Iman in Reputation. Of course, a person is willing to leak some that make them look like a victim. And I'm literally going to my ex husband. Keep in mind me and Iman on good terms. I didn't even

know we was beef. And so I had him on some like, people was putting out these blogs and then, you know, somebody's kind of sending me a little bit of proof that you're paying to ship this stuff around to promote and help trend your name. Like, you know, I'm like, but I don't want to believe that it's you because we're in such a great space.

Like I got love for you for real, for real. I just like want to know if you could like stand up for me. Cause I mean, I feel like I've been standing up for you. For you to say I've been protecting you by staying silent, that's so like passive aggressive and like, what you trying to say? You're protecting me by making me look like I took everything from you.

I am begging y'all to let me get my back blown out in peace. All right, bye. High turn as well. So she couldn't- That would have made me want to be seeing her in jail too though, that last line. Stop it man. It's the last line. The back blown out, mama got to have a life too.

I'm just talking about my ego, my ego be so hurt I wouldn't mind. You don't want your ex-wife or your baby mother going to jail for no matter time. Not 20 days, 10 days. I want you business is business, court of courts, but that's still the mother of your child. You don't want her to go to jail because of gossip and the blog. And then she didn't talk about any terms. Like she didn't say what she got or what she was saying. She was responding.

She was responding. So she did go into the terms of explaining what she got. We do have that audio as well. Let's take a listen. Y'all said that I won this luxury tour bus. I won a luxury Sprinter. I won a luxury, the Maybach. And I won a Jeep Gladiator.

I bought those, I paid for those. Trust me, I've seen a lot of women in the comments be excited for me and say, yeah girl, as you should. No, it's not no as you should because I didn't. I walked away with what was mine. I came in with my own properties. He came in with his own properties. It's about four properties that both me and Iman put time, construction, money, hundreds and thousands of dollars into our properties.

We have four of those. He got two of those and I got two of those. I'm not here to talk about any of our personal business. I'm here to talk about exactly what is on the internet that is making me look like I'm some type of villain. So if it's already out there, why she can't tell you what's already out there? Because here's the thing, when the stories came out before they leaked, it wasn't Iman saying, hey, here is what happened. Here's what we walked away with. There were just stories.

He was just a little sneaky with it. Just a little sneakier with it, obviously. Well, I mean, that's what she's alleging in that first clip. And the reason why I played that is because Iman is saying that because she chose to get online and talk about the provisions and all these things that they came to terms on, it violated financial circumstances, privacy, safety and security of the parties and their minor children. And he's saying that it actually resulted in him suffering a loss of income and damage

to his personal and professional reputation. Well, if you want to take legal action, I understand. But calling for her to get locked up, that's a bit much. I think the way, because also too, when you go and you say a person is in contempt, there's consequences to the contempt, and these are just what is assigned with this. So it's not like he's making up. I want her to go to jail like she's supposed to go to jail. I mean, if you say she's in contempt of court, you know those are the consequences. Technically, one plus one equals two, Yeah, but he's not the one like hey judge. This is what I think should happen going too far Yeah, also calling for this

Well, this is if you know that there these are the consequences as stated We all agreed to this and then you go and say she violated this agreement You can't say that you're not asking for it to happen because you're saying she violated if she violated for her to get in trouble Hold on, man. I'm confused. I thought that y'all said he called for her to go to jail He didn't buy him by him and his attorneys going and something to a judge She is in contempt of court. You are asking for whatever consequences come with that content to If you ask for it that is the penalty and that's what he's not saying put her in jail Well, I get what y'all saying

From he just wants her to respect the guidelines of yeah, whatever the thing was Yes but the reason why this is being picked up that way because According to him because she didn't she could be looking at 20 days in jail and a fine but envy what are you saying? Yes, I be looking at 20 days in jail and a fine. But, Envy, what were you saying? Y'all said it. I thought you were saying something. I do want to say, you know, let's think this through, Amon, because we don't need Tiana going to jail. I feel like this is misdirected anger. What we need to focus on is how we get Mufasa in the zoo. Now that's who we got to get in the zoo. We get him in the zoo.

What are you talking about? Why you can't get her back but I'm out? That's the line that's bothering him. I know that's what it is. How do we get Mufasa into Zoom? That's what we gotta focus on. She just did Met Gala with Ruth E. Carter looking good. She get her black blown out. I think they did her black blown out.

You wanna take her out of the black blown out? I mean, that might be happening too, depending on how good it is. You know when you get your black blown out when you're sleeping with a white man? That's when you get your black blown out when you're sleeping with a white man? That's when you get your black blown out. Eric P. Ermo Fassa is not a white man, but- I know that.

But allegedly they're saying it's all lies and the only reason that this keeps coming up is because every time Tiana does something special or new, something comes out. That's what they're saying. Who's they? I don't know. Okay.

Read between the lines, Laura. Oh, I just wanted to make sure that we- Read between the lines. Read between, I just wanted to make sure that we Amazing time at the Met Gala everybody was talking about our outfits and now something comes out So they're saying every time something happens great for Tiana you hear some BS Yeah, when that black get blown out is what's happening? But yeah, so that that's I just want them to you know Separate and just I mean they're separated, but just go and live y'all separate lives and just, this is a lot.

There's kids involved. I don't know Amon personally like that. I know Tiana, but I don't think Amon would want that. Amon wouldn't want Tiana to tell him. I would hope not, not at all. You don't wanna see your baby moms go to jail, the mother of your children, your ex-wife go to jail. No, you don't wanna, nobody wants to see that.

No, yeah. I would hope not. Mm-mm. That's it, that's all. I mean, oh no, I have more time. Nope. And then to end it off, you know, she got a new movie coming out. Don't play with her. Tiana, she's been working. So end it off on some good sh-

You know what I'm saying? Yeah, what's the movie? Is it The Straw? It ain't no The Damn Straw. It's just called The Straw. No, because we talk about that dinner. We said that it's a movie I mean, you know, premiering and they're about to do some things. It's on Netflix. It's called Strong.

We're actually going to go celebrate that. Tyler Perry movie too. Yes, it is a Tyler Perry movie. It's a Tyler Perry film. Yes. And she ironically plays a police officer. Yes. The movie follows a single mother who finds herself in a difficult situation, becomes

entangled in events She never imagined the cast also includes Sinbad and Mike Morrell and as a part of the film's creative partnership with Netflix Tyler Perry's creative partnership night All right. Well, that is the latest one. All right, Charlie. Yes. We give it a donkey We need the Trump administration to come to the front of the congregation. Okay, we'd like to have a word with him Yes, we'll get to that. Next is the breakfast local morning Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States. Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say get that son of a bitch off

the field right now out he's fired. He's fired. Please step up to the congregation. Yes, you are a donkey. When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists. He's a jackass. Yes, Donkey Today for Monday, May 12th. It is the 12th, right? Yes, it is the 12th.

Yes. Goes to the Trump administration as a staff, uh, administration record label and mother effing crew. Now, nobody floods the zone like the Trump administration. Okay. Every day, every hour, every minute, every second is something. And I could give them donkey in a day three or four times a week if I wanted to. But today America, we got to talk. Okay. I don't know if you've seen the headline, but according to every news outlet, but I'm going to quote ABC News right now. The headline, and listen to this, the Trump administration poised to accept Palace in the Sky as a gift for Trump from Qatar.

Yes, and what may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the US from a foreign government, the Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar. You can't make this up. Let's go to CBS News for the report please. The Gulf nation of Qatar says the gift of a luxury jumbo jet to serve as a presidential aircraft for Donald Trump is quote under consideration. Whatever it is gift or plan it comes as the president prepares for a three nation trip

to the Middle East. President Trump has already toured the 747-8. It happened in February when the luxury jet was flown to Palm Beach, Florida. CBS News has learned it's poised to be a gift from Qatar's royal family. It is not ready for presidential use and would need to be retrofitted. The president, who departs Monday to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE will use one of the 747s that have served as Air Force One since the first President Bush. The value of the gift from a foreign power is sparking legal and ethical concerns. Maryland Democrat Jamie Raskin posting

on X, the Constitution is perfectly clear. No present of any kind, whatever, from a foreign state without congressional permission. The White House press secretary says the administration will comply with the law. Oh, it's Qatar, Qatar. A $400 million gift, okay, eject. Listen, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, all media outlets. Let's not do the dumb thing y'all do when you ask answers.

I hate when I'm watching these networks. CNN does it the most by the way. They ask answers. For example, they will say, is Donald Trump accepting this plane from Qatar illegal? Then they debate it. And then we, the people are sitting back at home, not processing the information the way that we should because we are looking at it through the lens of is Trump taking the plane wrong? Is Trump taking the plane right right when there is only one answer it

is absolutely wrong okay the US Constitution prohibits government officials from accepting gifts from any King Prince or foreign state full stop now Trump posted on social media so the fact that the Defense Department is getting a gift free of charge of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40-year-old Air Force One temporarily in a very public and transparent transaction so bothers the crooked Democrats that they insist we pay top dollar for the plane. It's not just Democrats that I saw complaining about this. A lot of Trump's own supporters were complaining about this as well.

He said it's very public and transparent. Just because you sell dope, commit a murder or rob somebody in broad daylight in front of a bunch of people, doesn't make it any less of a crime. Okay. If there's one thing we've learned from politicians over the past decade is that corruption can be very public and very transparent. Okay. Now in the constitution, it says you are prohibited from accepting gifts from foreign States without the consent of Congress, aiming to prevent undue foreign influence on U.S. officials.

So critics argue that accepting such a valuable gift like this jet estimated at $400 million without congressional approval could be unconstitutional. Now listen, I'm not about to sit up here and act like I'm some constitutional scholar, but outside of this being unconstitutional, widely illegal, why would you take a gift from people who fund terrorist organizations that kill a lot of Americans? And why, you know, I say take the gift, I'm simply saying why would you trust these people? When I say take the gift I'm simply saying why would you trust these people? Beware the noble gesture okay we know what that means right it's a warning that an act

motivated by generosity may actually be a deceptive or manipulative manipulative move. Yes appearances can be deceiving and you should be cautious when evaluating someone's motives behind a gesture. First of all these people are not gifting a 400 million dollar plane out of the goodness of their heart okay come on Trump administration y'all at least have to know that. This gift comes with a lot of screens attached to it. And what makes you think that these folks can't cut those screens at any given time? Once again, these people fund terrorist organizations.

How do we know they can't make this plane fall out of the sky anytime they want to? How do we know this plane isn't just a big ass bomb? I know the secret service will do a sweep of the plane, but how do we know it's not loaded with listening devices, tracking devices? They are potentially gonna have so much Intel on our country and none of this would happen if this administration, the Trump administration,

simply moved with ethics and did things in a constitutional way. Please give the Trump administration the big sea hawk. Just move with some ethics and in a constitutional way and we wouldn't have none of these problems. Wouldn't even be a discussion. All right, well, thank you for that donkey today. Now when we come back, 800-585-1051,

Now if you're just joining us, we open up the phone lines 800-585-1051 and we're asking do you find it harder to support black owned businesses now? This conversation comes from an experience that Jess had over the weekend. Yes I did. So I just want to start off by saying I love Detroit, I love my fans, I love my supporters, absolutely I love Detroit, I love my fans, I love my supporters, absolutely I love them, but I was handled terribly at One Mic Comedy Club and I'm upset for myself

and quite frankly for my damn fans too. I did this club for three reasons, right? They sold me on the lie that it was, you know, Mike Epps Comedy Club, he's the OG, of course, me being a stand-up comedian who wouldn't want to perform in Mike Epps comedy club To prior to me going they told me that Damon Wayans Was there only for me to get there right and see that it was Damon Williams Swag I don't know no damn Damon Williams, and I'm sorry sir. You might be a fine comedian, but I don't know you they said Damon Wayans Three it's a black owned venue right?

So when I go to Detroit I usually do MGM, Fox Theater, the very first club I did there was a black owned club Punchline. Should have went back there right? But I did this. Then everybody claimed that they're the owner right? The manager who claimed to be the owner first, her name is Kimberly Moore. She originally did the deal and tried to change the deal terms many times after the deal was already done. So it was supposed to be three shows. When I saw the tickets were selling for every show but the brunch, right?

I went and I seen that she was selling the tickets for $90. Like are you stupid? No, that's not even what the... Yo K-Pop fans, it's your boy Bom Han and I'm bringing you something epic.

I don't feel emotions correctly. I am talking to a felon right now, and I cannot decide if I like him or not. Those were some callers from my call-in podcast, Therapy Gecko. It's a show where I take real phone calls from anonymous strangers all over the world as a fake gecko therapist

and try to dig into their brains and learn a little bit about their lives. I know that's a weird concept, but I promise it's pretty interesting if you give it a shot. Matter of fact, here's a few more examples of the kinds of calls we get on this show. I live with my boyfriend and I found his piss jar in our apartment. I collect my roommates toenails and fingernails. I have very overbearing parents. Even at the age of 29, they won't let me move out of their house. So if you want an excuse to get out of your own head

and see what's going on in someone else's head, search for Therapy Gecko on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's the one with the green guy on it. This week on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler, Connie Britton is here. I think you should encourage your friend to go ahead and not be holding out for any man to have her babies.

If she is passionate about becoming a mother and she has her eggs frozen and she has her life together, go for it. She could be waiting another 10 years before she finds the right guy. Connie didn't meet her right guy until you were what, 50, Connie? How long have you guys been together? Yeah, no, 52.

52. I adopted my son as a single mom because I kept thinking, oh, I'm going to meet the guy, I'm going to meet the guy, I'm going to meet the guy. I finally was like, what am I waiting for? And I did it. And I'm just so glad that I did. I want to change the narrative about single parents

and also help to create the narrative about single parents and also help to create a community for single parents so that they can not feel alone in it. One of the big things is it's so hard, especially for women, to ask for help. Listen to Dear Chelsea on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Dear was, per the deal that I signed off on, all tickets were supposed to be sold at $50. So, I told her to pull me from the brunch.

She canceled altogether because she had no selling point now, right? Trying to make extra money on the side, that don't work with me. Why would you try to make an extra $40 on the side? That's not even what we're doing here, right? Then, it's Mother's Day. That's why they're not selling dumb ass is $90. Like what? So every performer has a writer, a writer is the list of things requested by the performer that's supposed to be in the green room. When you get there, nothing from my writer was honored but three bottles of liquor, nothing. And when I campaigned,

when I communicated this to Kim, she lied and said that my writer was never sent from my manager. But how was it my writer sent from the manager when you knew what type of liquor to get me? That was just the easiest for your cheap lazy ass to do because they right behind the bar. Those bottles was behind the bar. Then after the 9pm show, as I promised, I did a meet and greet. I've been promoting this on the radio, you heard this, this is in all my promos online, everything, right? Some man, random, I don't know who he is

I never met before he never was in on a deal with nothing He walks in and he attempts to shut it down He said nah, we ain't doing none of that so my husband cuz he was there He was like now we ain't doing under what and who you supposed to be the guy said this ish Whatever this is Wayne Wayne will do no meet-and-greet and we won't shut it down. I'm the owner So Chris says sorry by the owner I'm the owner too and she gonna finish this meet the owner too. And she's gonna finish this meet and greet like she'd been promoting it. And she promised that,

I don't know how you never heard nothing about it. And I don't know you to be the owner. You know the owner. So he said, no, this ain't what we doing. And so he starts walking toward where I'm doing the meet and greet at. So Chris put his arm up like on some stiff officer. So then the guy go from being the owner to, I'm a cop. He said, I'm a cop. I don't advise you to do, I'm a cop.

And so he said, all right, that's cool, but this my wife and I don't know what you walking over to war for. So he said, you can go get the, no, after that he say, all right, well look, I'm securing Michael comedy club. Time on Mike Epps now. Chris just left and was like, all right, go get Kim. Go get Kim. Chris ain't scared of no cop. You say he was I see you. That's your shut up man. Shut up You know officer owner security he went to go get Kim

We we continue doing meet-and-greet first of all the guy comes back and he's fussing at my fans telling them that they have to leave They like the fans looking like you know, Detroit ain't they they like nah, no, we ain't going nowhere They want to see the drama too, but they like now we we want to we pay for a meet-and-greet, right? So then Kim comes over this for person that we've been doing a deal with the whole time She looks right in my husband's eye. Yo, and she says we never invite we never signed off on a meet-and-greet We never even knew she was doing this. We can't do this. It's getting too late. It's about to be is after 12 o'clock We can't do this. I wanted to punch late. It's about to be, it's after 12 o'clock. We can't do this." I wanted to punch her fat ass right in her face, yo, like lied.

How do you lie? Yo, I've been promoting this. This is crazy. So now my fans in the uproar, because I charge $40 a picture and they already submitting their money. So Chris like, yo, we're going to do this. So there ain't nobody budging them. We finished the meet and greet, right?

And then after that, the guy, I wanted to say something to the guy. So he's like, uh, the owner that's a cop. And he also said he's security. He's like, yeah, um, I just want to let you know that it was horrible communication, which I said, no, your communication is with Kim, Kimberly Moore, whoever. And I was also referred to the club by some guy named Harry, he's supposed to be an attorney that worked with the club and everything. And according to Mike, you know, according to Kim, who kind of sort of told me this,

Mike don't even want nothing to do with the club. But she tried to make it seem like that Mike don't want nothing to do with the club because some other crap. No, he don't want nothing to do with it because this right here. All of this, man. That falls on him. After talking to some other people there, there's been so many managers that it's come and gone. They don't like the way it's ran.

They don't pay people on time. And that was the problem. The real problem was after 12 o'clock they would have to pay their staff a whole for another day. Over time, yeah. A day and a half or something. And they wanted to have some type of money, make some type of money off my meet and greet. That's not how I work.

That's not what I do. So you can't do that. Know what I mean? So I would, it's a horrible reflection on Mike Epps because even online according to Google, he is listed as the owner. But he ain't even, man, that's horrible. I don't advise any other comedian to go here. My fans were upset.

I'm upset I was not treated like Jess Hilarious. I love Detroit way too much to do that. I should have took my ass to the punch line. That's another black owned comedy club. But you know, that's more intimate, more smart. We'll have to do more shows to make them the amount of money that I make now. Like, that was me.

Just like, yo. I'm sorry you had that experience. You know, it's not hard supporting black owned businesses. It's hard supporting terribly ran businesses. And the problem with terribly ran businesses, you don't know they terribly ran until you do business with them right and that's why it's so important for the business to be up to par because if not you won't get a terrible review like justice gave this comedy club in Detroit absolutely the sad thing is I actually I DJ'd there

before but I didn't deal with the club yeah I dealt with I guess the alphas who rented the club out and hired me to perform So when I went there I didn't have to deal with management and nothing and everybody was friendly and nice But it sucks that you you know like you said it you you want to go to a black-owned business and the sad thing about It is is I love comedy so I go to comedy clubs all over the place in it's very hard to find a black-owned Common comedy show that's been in business for a long time So when you see one you want to support and if people are not having a great time and comedians and not having to respect That they feel like they deserve or that they should get yeah, absolutely positively

Yeah, I don't think it's the black own part though. It's just a terribly ran part You know what I'm saying? Because none of us have a problem supporting black on. Yeah, like I said punchline Black on they they treat me with such grace. They love me They appreciate me. You know if it was not for my fans and the servers that was overworked, you know what I'm saying? Like, cause they got, they run in, it's like two or three different sides to one mic. So they got all of them working on this side,

the comedy club, over to the bar part. That's what I said, it was upstairs and it was downstairs. Yeah. So it's just like, it's in a beautiful area, it's downtown, but it's like, it's not ran by the right people. And me and my fans were handled terribly, like, you I mean so I just I would never ever go back never. And that's that's she won't go back because it's terribly ran. Yes and Mike Epps should get his name off that period.

Alright. That's a bad reflection of him. Well let's open up the phone lines 800-585-1051. Do you find it harder to support black owned businesses? Phone lines are crazy right now, so we'll answer some of your phone calls. It's The Breakfast Club, good morning. ["The Breakfast Club"]

Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Nugah. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, Jess talked about her experience from a comedy club, club restaurant out in Detroit. And we were talking 800-585-1051. Is it difficult? Is it hard to supporting black owned businesses? A lot of people on the line. Hello, who's this?

Yo Envy, you know the vibes, man. It's Mellow. Mellow, what's up? Life is amazing, it is what it should be. Happy Ballet and Mother's Day, Jeff. Thank you, Mellow. And happy Ballet and Mother's Day to you too, Lauren LaRosa. I know them wigs take a lot of care. You look great. Oh my God. Go ahead, Mellow.

Honestly, I'm actually very passionate about this topic, because I had some very bad experiences with some black owned businesses and I feel as though black owned businesses, nine times out of ten, are just using that phrase as a marketing scheme and they don't put any credibility behind those words. Now granted, I understand us as black people, we like to work off the border system, that's nothing new, you feel me? So us as black customers, we have to be more like accessible

and more versatile with working black on businesses. But at the same time, black on business, y'all really need to know the definition, the denotated definition of the word customer service. Because y'all just be out here throwing speed on because you sound cool. Y'all be doing stuff for aesthetics and y'all marketing gets them in the door,

but y'all don't keep them in there because y'all don't know how to brand y'all products. You feel me? But that's the conversation for another day. You heard? Thanks, Melo. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Tanae. Hey, Tanae. Good morning. We're asking, do you find it harder to support black-owned businesses? Okay, I'm not going to put all black businesses in one category, but it is hard sometimes. I feel like they don't, sometimes they don't realize that they have to put back in their business to invest, to put the resources to excel, if that makes sense. Okay, so you feel like they don't put the money back

into the business to make the business better? Right, like if there is software systems out there that can make your business run more smoothly, hire more people, best in training. And there's so many resources out there that I feel like we lack. Sometimes it does make it hard. The beauty industry is a whole other story.

But it is difficult sometimes. Okay, thank you. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is T. Hey T, good morning. Good, who's this? Hey Hey T good morning So we're talking about is it harder to support a black-owned business and you own a black-owned business, correct? I own a black-owned business. I have a balloon business out in Connecticut. It's called call me a wallflower Uh-huh. So basically I mean as a balloon business out in Connecticut. It's called call me a wallflower. So basically, I mean, as a black business owner, I truly want to support black owned businesses.

But sometimes it's tough. I've dealt with like, like arrivals for communication. I've been on cars, and I've even had to start coming in like some of the vendors two hours earlier just to keep them on track because I just don't trust that they're going to arrive at the time that they should arrive. So that's why in my business, I show up about an hour early before the client even tells me if they tell me five o'clock is our start time, I'm there by four. Um, and you know, I'm trying to be able to them, um, I make sure I communicate very clearly and I make sure there's never room for

any uncertainties because professionalism matters as much as the passion. Okay. Well, thank you, mama. You're welcome. Have a good day guys. You know, you know, I think, uh, the biggest problem sometimes with, with, black-owned businesses is we take each other for granted. We tend to be so hard on each other and we don't treat each other with the same respect or gratitude.

And I'm talking about both ways. The person who owns the business and the customer who's coming into this facility. Like the way we talk to each other, we wouldn't talk to white folks like that. The things we expect from each other, we wouldn't expect that from white people. I wish that we approached each other the same way we approach establishments, period. Like don't walk in here thinking because it's a black-owned business,

you're supposed to get treated in a different way. It's just, it's a business. But I will say this, I do take an understanding, like for instance, if I go to a black-owned restaurant and there's a problem with my food, I'll accept it faster, right? And the reason I accept it fast is because I feel like a lot of times you can tell when a business is

a mom and pop owned and it's out their own pocket and they might not have things that other places can have. They might not be able to get the loans that other businesses can have. So sometimes I just sit and I eat it and I just won't go back. But you shouldn't accept that. I know, but if I'm at a white restaurant

and there's something that I don't like, I'll send it back immediately and ask him to take it off the bill. Because I understand we don't have the resources sometimes. We don't have the finances sometimes. And a lot of times we don't have the people working in those businesses. So I do understand that though.

That's what I mean when I say we don't treat each other with the same respect, our gratitude. You're right. Because the reality of the situation is, I know this is a black owned business, but if my stuff ain't right, it's not right. And I gotta let you know that because I want you to get it right.

If you just sit there and be and eat the food, they don't know what they did wrong. They don't know what they did right, they don't know what they did wrong. There's a reason that if you go to most restaurants, they give you customer reviews and they wanna know what it is they're doing right and what it is they're doing wrong.

But sometimes I feel bad because I know they might not be able to afford to lose that $40 stake. They might not be able to afford to lose that lobster tail or that burger or whatever, maybe. They might not be able to afford to lose that. So you feel a little bad and you just hope that they figure it out. But you know what else they can't afford to lose?

A repeat customer. You right. They want you to keep coming back. So you gotta tell these folks what's wrong so they can get it right and they can raise their standard. And I wonder how many black-owned businesses are the this is the first time that they created this business. See a lot of times a lot of these other businesses are they have restaurants in their family. They have these type of stores in their family so they they're tried and shooed already. A

lot of times for us this is our first time and we just trying to make it happen off a whim you know what I mean just trying to make it happen off a whim, you know what I mean? And trying to figure it out as we going along. Oh, you gotta get it right. So I know it is kind of a strange question because it's not hard supporting black owned businesses. Not for me.

It's hard supporting terribly ran businesses. I agree. But you gotta learn, like, I owned a car wash at one time, right? And when one of my guys was vacuuming somebody's car, I didn't know that you had to actually have the vacuum screwed down. So when he went to vacuum the car,

the vacuum fell on the guy's car, and I had to pay him to fix that car. But I didn't know anything about it, but somebody who owned car washes before would know better than I would. You said what now? You was washing somebody, you tried to wash somebody's car with a vacuum? I owned a car wash. This guy, yeah. I owned a washes before with no better than I would. You said what now? You was washing somebody, you tried to wash somebody's car

with a vacuum? I owned a car wash. I owned a car wash. You tried to wash somebody's car with a vacuum. No, I owned a car wash and as they were cleaning the inside of the car, the vacuum fell off and hit the guy's car and then into the car, right? So you had to screw them in,

but I wouldn't have known to screw it in because I've never owned a car wash before. See, you heard screw it in and you got excited. See, you got excited. Screw what in? Forget it, man. The holes to the vacuum. The holes to the vacuum, you had heard screw it in you got excited Through what forget it man the holes to the back This things that you don't know that you know what as they happen now that customer would never come back to my car wash But you know those type of things you wouldn't come back to your car wash if you was white too Yes, that I'm saying unless you did he wouldn't come back unless you did something to fix, rectify that situation.

I mean I did fix it, but I didn't know. But somebody who owned a car wash before would know all of these things before because they know from family, they know for being tried and true. I was just trying to figure it out on my own. Yeah, but like I said earlier, man, you know, it's not hard to put in black owned businesses. It's just a hard support and terribly ran businesses. I don't expect anything from a business except quality. I don't expect anything from a business except good customer service. Whatever business I support, if the quality isn't up to par, I'm not dealing with it. All right. Well, we got the latest with Lauren coming up. Don't move. It's the Breakfast

Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren be coming in straight back. She gets him from somebody that knows somebody I'm the one girl that knows a little bit about everything and she be having the latest on this The latest with laura la rosa sometimes you have facts sometimes you have details sometimes you have a little bit of everything On the breakfast club talk to me All right, y'all so you remember in here we talked about that Drusky lawsuit. There was a woman that was alleging that Drusky, Oda Beckham Jr. and Diddy sexually

assaulted her. Now, when I talked about this last, I told y'all that I had seen phone records and bank records that then it came out that, you know, what I saw then came out in the media that showed that Drusky number one had no money. He was not a celebrity. He was not hanging with celebrities at the time from what these documents were alleging. And there were phone records that placed him in Georgia during the time that this assault would have happened.

Now, the full filing was actually published and made available over the weekend. So I went back and I looked, just because a lot of times in a full filing, like there might be more information and there was. So in this full filing, there was actually a police report that Druski's team is pointing to. And this police report that they attach as an exhibit, so you can actually read the police report, was filed by this alleged victim in a California court. And it would have been during the time that the sexual assault that she alleges happened, happened. So she's basically saying that there were two men that sexually assaulted her. Same time, same day, but not Drusky, not Odell, not Odell, Odell Buckham Jr. and not Diddy.

So why she call a name then? And what happens now that we find out she lied on those people? Well, let me get to it because there's another thing too before I address that. Another thing as well is in this same filing, they attach a job offer from Longhorn State House in Georgia. The day that the sexual assault would have happened was the day that Druski accepted that job. So he, and they're doing this to show that he was not, you know, the legend, like he wasn't even in California.

Now to answer your question. Yeah, we know the Druski part is capped. We knew that from the beginning. Yes. But what happens to that young lady now that we know she got caught in a lie? The fact that she even mentioned that it was a lie. Why would she just bring up the evidence? Drusky, why?

So Drusky's attorneys are asking for her and her attorneys to be sanctioned. What that mean? Locked up? It depends on what the court wants to levy. Like what consequences the court wants to give, but they want them to get in trouble. They can be a penalty anyway. It can be a penalty. You can be stripped of certain things. It just depends on how the judge decides. wants to levy like what consequences the court wants to give but they want them to get in trouble it can be a penalty it can be you can be stripped of certain things it just depends on how to judge decides to pay a fine or she should go to jail and then they are also asking that this lawsuit just be dismissed in total now i did reach out to the attorney for the accuser and the attorney told me that this is a procedurally improper motion basically that this motion is correct, and that they look forward to litigating this in court.

Yo, lawyer, you gotta know your client is lying. If you don't know your client is lying at this point, then we gotta start questioning you and your credentials. Crazy. Like, seriously, why do we keep letting people get away with this type of stuff? And how do reputable lawyers, I would think they're reputable lawyers, take these kinds of cases on? I'm not for certain, I'm not for sure, but in the following

Druske team mentions like, yo, a quick, you know, like conversation with your client or, you know, certain searches, there's a lot of things you guys could have done before we got to this point where you're throwing this on him and this could have caused, you know, brand deal harm and you know, like there's just so much when you throw allegations like this. Right. And when you, when you're in court and you lie, right? You're held to contempt, right?

You can't lie technically. So like, what is the, well, I guess the difference would be that they're not in a courtroom. Cause that's the same thing. That's what they're doing. They're lying to allegations. And then they prove, when it's proven that they're lying, that it should be some type, so it's no law,

like no type of nothing set for these people to have to pay for what they did. So there are rules and that's what Druske's team is talking about. Like, yo, based on the rules of the court as an attorney, it's kind of like the same thing with the Jay-Z situation. Like Jay-Z's attorney came out and said, yo, if you're an attorney, we're trusting that you're doing things fairly and that you're doing things in good faith and that you're actually investigating these things before you bring it in a lawsuit in front of a judge.

And because you didn't follow these rules of the court, there are consequences that a judge can levy, but the judge decides what the consequences are gonna be. They just ask for it to happen. You're not just bringing this stuff in front of a judge, you're bringing this stuff in front of the court of public opinion. Now my reputation is damaged, now my brand is damaged,

now I'm losing all types of money, and you just get to walk away? Yeah, because people will believe the lie and run with that. Yeah, and that's what happens too. And brands don't really care to do their own research. You know what I mean? It's just they don't have time. The social media reacts so fast.

Now filing a lawsuit, I just looked this up because I wanted to make sure I stated this. Filing a lawsuit based on false information can lead to serious consequences, including dismissal of the case, which is what Drusk is asking for, fines, just to your point, even criminal charges like perjury. If the court finds out that the information was knowingly false, the case can be dismissed and the plaintiff may be penalized for wasting the court's resources

and causing harm to the defendant. And even it goes, you know, as far as even lying under oath. So we'll just have to wait to see what happens and how the judge responds. Okay. Disgusting. All right, well that was the latest with Lauren. Yes. And listen, you know was the latest with Lauren. Yes. And listen, you know something that y'all need to watch

All of May is actually Mental Health Awareness Month and on the psychology of your 20s, we are taking a vulnerable look at why mental health is so hard to talk about. Prepare for our conversations to go deep. I spent the majority of my teenage years, my twenties just feeling absolutely terrified. I had a panic attack on a conference call. Knowing that she had six months to live, I was no longer pretending that this was my best friend. So this Mental Health Awareness Month, take that extra bit of care of your wellbeing. Listen to the Psychology of Your 20s on the iHeartRadio app, Apple not feel, then feel because feeling is too much for me to handle. I am Khloe Kardashian.
