Starting point is 00:02:53 It's DJ, Envy, Jess, Larry, and Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. That's right. We have Giselle Bryan. Welcome. Hi. How you feeling?
Starting point is 00:03:00 Good morning. I'm feeling so good. I was going to name all the stuff that the Real Housewives of Potomac. I was going to say Shady Podcast. The Reasonably Shady Podcast was gonna say Shady Podcasts. The Reasonably Shady Podcasts. You got straight envy, right? The Reasonably Shady Podcasts. With Robin Dixon.
Starting point is 00:03:10 The new show Love Hotel, you're doing so much. I'm doing a lot. You're making a lot of money out there. From college tuition. Show is. Yes, well, you know, we got the dad for the college tuition thing. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Hallelujah. Praise him, keep preaching, preacher. But I... Keep preaching, preacher. Jesus I... Keep preaching, preacher. Keep preaching, preacher. Jesus. Yes, yes, yes. But yeah, I'm doing a lot.
Starting point is 00:03:30 And I'm, you know, it's good. I'm at a place where I can say no to things. I'm doing things that like make me happy. Yes. Now how was the real Housewives franchise, right? Cause you see Housewives being fired. Yes. You see franchises being canceled, rebooted.
Starting point is 00:03:44 New York was canceled and rebooted. Yeah. I think Dubai has been fired. Yes franchises being canceled rebooted. New York was canceled and rebooted Yeah, I think Dubai has been canceled. Yes And a lot of miss this any trash so how is but time it still been able to survive from all of this stuff? That's been trash. Yes. Okay. First. It's Potomac Potomac. I'm sorry. Yes It's hard like the reality TV space is extremely difficult and it's difficult to like have some longevity. You have to, for Housewives, it's not hard. You guys have to be friends.
Starting point is 00:04:13 It's a show about friendship. So when you are trying to be toxic, when you're trying to say stuff to your castmates that's toxic and it's at the point of no return, then there goes the show. You can't come back from that. And no viewer wants to sit in week after week and look at a show that there's a bunch of women that hate each other.
Starting point is 00:04:31 It becomes unreal. Hold on, I thought that's the whole point of reality. I was gonna say, that's what I thought. I thought the conflict and the toxic was what got people in. But it's a fine line. It's like a dance you gotta do. So it's lightweight toxicity. It's not hardcore toxicity.
Starting point is 00:04:48 And then you gotta be able to come back and laugh. You gotta be able to come back and make fun at each other. And it's a girlfriend thing. You know you have some toxic girlfriends. But you know that y'all can go out on Saturday and have fun. But somebody's getting cussed out. But it's okay, because there's a love there, and you can still rise above it.
Starting point is 00:05:09 And then Sunday, we can all talk about what happened and that'd be it. Yeah, and then you have, it's a dynamic of, there's some girlfriends that are just like the wild card, the drunk one, the one that's always gonna be reserved. It's the dynamic of the group, but it just can't get to a toxic place. Otherwise, yes, you always gonna be reserved. It's the dynamic of the group, but it just can't get to a toxic place. Otherwise, yes, you're gonna be cancer.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Has it ever been a part or a time where you're like, I don't wanna do this reality TV shit no more. Like, seriously, I'm about to throw in a towel. Jess, you about to get me fired. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Of course, I always say, because reality TV is tough, if there is a point in a season
Starting point is 00:05:49 in which you don't feel like you want to quit, then you're not doing your job. You have to get to that point. And for instance, this season, I didn't feel it until the end. And I was checking myself with it because I was like, I've been kind of like feeling good. I've been in a great place. I don't feel like I want to quit. And then towards the end of the season, I was like, yeah, I'm done.
Starting point is 00:06:10 There you go. There you go. But you have to give it all. If you don't, then you shouldn't be doing it. And so that's a recipe to a good season for you to get that feeling. Oh, I was like, this season's going to be fire. And it is. I think one thing that you-
Starting point is 00:06:24 You're the villain a lot though. You're the villain a lot in a lot of these. Like you will go at people's personal lives, you'll go at DUIs, whatever, relationship, personal. Envy. So we're friends, Envy. I'm just asking, I'm just asking. I watched the show with my wife and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:06:38 that's not the Giselle, I know. Oh my God. Clutching your pearls. Clutching my pearls, oh. I think that anything that is out there on social media is fair, it's semi-fair game. I'll never go after anybody's mother or child. But yeah, if it's out there, let's talk about it. And that's like a good girlfriend relationship, right?
Starting point is 00:07:00 Take the cameras away. If something's going on with my girlfriend, we gonna talk about it. I'm not gonna get together with her and act like it ain't happening. No, let's talk. And just because the cameras are there, doesn't mean it's shady. It's how you handle the answer that you feel like is shady.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Yeah, I don't think you a villain. I think you throw a reasonable shade. Yes. Which hints the podcast. Yes. You know, Robin's not with us this season. And so the reasonable of the show has been like, you know, gone.
Starting point is 00:07:30 But I've had to pick up that reasonable part. So you gotta do both. I had to do a little bit of both. How hard is that? It's difficult. Being reasonable. It's not part of my personality. The thing I like about you though is, because it's hard to build a name outside of the reality
Starting point is 00:07:43 show. Yes. A lot of people people that becomes their whole identity. That has not been the case for you. No, because I leave it there. So and that is when we're filming. I leave it there when I come home. I'm not trying to talk to my kids about it. I'm not trying to think about it.
Starting point is 00:07:58 It's I look at it is it's on camera stuff. I did it on camera. Now that the cameras are gone, I'm done with it. Now, there's your kids. I've been trying to talk to you about it. You got an older baby girl. Yes. Does she question you about some things
Starting point is 00:08:11 that she'll see on there or does that ever happen? Well, they probably won't mention it and one of them is here today, but they're shadier than me. Ooh, the apple don't fall far, huh? You know, their mama is me, their father is who he is, they are some shady kids. So if I come home and tell them what's going on, they, you know, they get a kick out of it.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Yeah. Yeah. So they, there are times when they're like, ma, you can't say that. But then there are times where they're like, good, I'm glad you checked her. Yeah. Yeah. How do you deal with the blogs, right? Because they attack everything that you do. Yes. The way you decorate your house, the way you her. Yeah. Yeah. How do you deal with the blogs right cuz they attack everything that you do
Starting point is 00:08:45 Yes, the way you decorate your house the way you dress good. She Gucci that I don't see the problem Like I see her all the time Promote me good where people take that vibes at you and talk about you when you know, yeah It's BS, right? I find it funny because that means If you're talking about the way that I dress on my house, whatever that means you have nothing else Right and you're just not now making up something and yeah, y'all're talking about the way that I dress or my house, whatever, that means you have nothing else. Right. And you're just not now making up something. And yeah, y'all keep talking about me.
Starting point is 00:09:08 So it's like I don't even have to get out of bed in the morning. Like, because y'all are talking about me. So I actually appreciate it. I like the haters. Yeah. They're my friends. Now, you just did your your first 21 questions last show in Chicago. Yes. How do you know? Well, there'll be how I know. I know everything. Just like the math. Yes. Yes. Yes. Allegedly. Well, there'll be how I know I know everything. Just for the math, this is real. Yes, yes. Are there gonna be other cities? Yes, so I'm planning that right now. Okay. Thank you so much for asking. I just that was something that I did on my
Starting point is 00:09:35 own. So we've Reasonably Shady has done live shows. Yeah. But it's been me and Robin. Mm-hmm. So it was my first, you know, Beyonce by herself. It was my first breakout by myself. I was terrified. And I did it, and I felt like I killed it. Like, I felt like I can do this. I felt comfortable, which was personally, I needed that. So, yes, I'm now planning the whole tour. So we're doing West Coast first, and then we're gonna come through Charlotte,
Starting point is 00:10:05 do a little Houston, Dallas, and then come back to New York, Atlanta. Yes, so February. Yeah, yes. Now why were you nervous? What made you nervous about it? Because I have a tendency to, okay, to know me is to know that I'm very quiet
Starting point is 00:10:23 and to myself, and I like to be home and mind my business. What? Yes, all those things. Oh, you said to know you is to know. To know me. Okay, got you. Got you. So, and I have a tendency to kind of say things that's really on my mind and it could be a bit much. And Robin always kind of like checks me in that and she's just kind of like, whoa, like that was team too much, like calm down. So I didn't have that person and just doing it by myself made me feel like, hey, I'ma mess up. And you know, that's a scary thing.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Like, and if you don't have anybody like to quote catch you. So I did it. It went well. I was happy. And yeah. Obviously, cause you're adding cities, and I think that's good. So congratulations for doing that. Congratulations. I was your own doing that.
Starting point is 00:11:09 How does it feel to have the house to yourself? Oh, my gosh. Because you're an empty nest in there. Yes. Okay, so let's talk about it. Because you're not there. I'm nowhere near there. You are nowhere near there. And neither are you. Okay, so let's talk about it.
Starting point is 00:11:24 At first, I was like super sad, because I dropped off three kids in three cities in 72 hours. So it was like a thing. And mind you, all my kids go to HBCU, shout out to the HBCU. Grace is going to Hampton? Hampton, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Grace is going to FAM. FAM, the one's in Spelman? The one's at Spelman, and she's at, Adora's at Hampton. The real H-U. The real H-U. Yes, she's a freshman. She just finished all of her, this is her first semester.
Starting point is 00:11:48 She's rocking what, a 3.9? 4.0. You better give it up. That's how we do. I know that's right. That's how we do. She wearing red though. Don't get it twisted.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Don't get it twisted. That's next year's conversation. Okay, I'm just, I'm just asking. All right, I'm sorry. Okay. So when I got home, I was super sad. I was just like, what am I gonna do? And then the next day I woke up and I was like,
Starting point is 00:12:13 I'm walking around the house naked. I love that. It's so freeing. I get up when I want to. I don't have to go to the grocery store. I don't have to feed anybody. This is like amazing. Amazing. And all I have to do to the grocery store. I don't have to feed anybody. This is like amazing. And all I have to do is just think about me.
Starting point is 00:12:29 And that's a great feeling to just think about yourself after you've been thinking about and planning around somebody else's life for damn near 20 years. Like it's a nice feeling. Were you ever, I don't know how to say, have you, how did you feel about them splitting up? Like Adore going to. To Hampton and Angel and Spelman.
Starting point is 00:12:49 So they both applied to both colleges and they both got in, to Hampton and Spelman. So I was thinking they were just gonna make the decision to stay together. However, Angel's a better fit for Spelman. Adore's a better fit for Hampton. Adore at Spellman would kill her because it's just not a good fit for her.
Starting point is 00:13:10 They're very quiet, they're very studious. They party like once a week. She need to party like three times a week. So she need to get it in. So I was concerned, but I knew that if they were gonna split up, they would thrive, and they are. They're thriving, got it. I want you to go back.
Starting point is 00:13:27 How did that even feel, having all three of your kids go to college? And HBCUs. HBA, I got four daughters, I hope all of them go to college, but to have all three end up going to college. I didn't realize that it was like, like I did a great job until people started telling me. They're like, this is a flex.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Like you got all three of your girls in college, a black college. I'm super proud of them. I, you know, when you're in it, you don't realize what you're doing. And when I was in it, I didn't realize, like, yeah, I'm making my life all about them. I'm making sure that they're doing
Starting point is 00:14:01 all the extracurricular stuff and that they're expanding their horizons. So I felt like this is what I'm supposed to be doing, but now that I see the result of it, I'm like, damn, I did that thing. And I'm just proud of them, because they are, you know, you want your kids to live their best life,
Starting point is 00:14:21 but they really are. So it's nice to see. And you didn't try to influence all of them to go to Hampton? I didn't, did I? What about a little bit? She said just a little bit. I wanted, listen, their dad went to Morehouse, so he wanted one of them at Spelman.
Starting point is 00:14:37 I wanted one of them at Hampton. And it worked out. I was gonna ask, when, you know, co-parenting, how did y'all get to the place where y'all can co-parent that way? Because y'all went through a divorce and I'm sure it wasn't a nice divorce. How did y'all get to a point where y'all could-
Starting point is 00:14:50 Prayer, of course. Of course. Duh. So when y'all got to a place where y'all both could really co-parent and take all the emotions out of it, how did y'all get there? And when did that happen? I'm gonna be honest. It was a lot of me.
Starting point is 00:15:04 That was the problem? No, no, it was a lot of me. That was the problem? No, no, it was a lot of, I decided when they, because we got divorced, they were little, they were like two and three, and I decided, I got a lot, my attorney told me, you got a long road with this guy. So if you don't like him, if you think he's a fool, you gotta put that in the back burner
Starting point is 00:15:24 because it's about your kids. So I had to just let it go. Did he, throughout the course of their life, piss me off every other day? Yes, but I had to let it go. And I didn't want them to feel like, because we're getting a divorce, they didn't have a family unit.
Starting point is 00:15:39 So I would invite him to everything. We're going on vacation, he can come. We're doing dinners, he can come. And as long as he didn't, you know, clearly piss me off, then we can continue to do it. So, yeah, I mean, it's tough, but you gotta just put your kids first. So when y'all went on vacation or you invited him,
Starting point is 00:15:57 was he able to bring his new girl, or were you able to? No! I mean, he could have, he just never did. Yeah. And in my vacations, I kept it about the kids. Gotcha. Okay, because I was he could have, he just never did. Yeah, and in my vacations I kept it about the kids. Gotcha. Okay, because I was gonna ask you what would have happened to her if she was born.
Starting point is 00:16:12 But nevermind, because you changed it. I mean we didn't stay in the same room, so he might have flown somebody out and I never saw her, but he kept it respectable in front of the kids, for sure. Which I appreciate, I appreciate that. But no, it's not easy. And to Jamal's credit, because I had them the majority of the time, he let me do my thing with the girls.
Starting point is 00:16:36 He wasn't like a helicopter parent and like trying to question how I was parenting them. So that was, I appreciated that. He let me do my thing. And with you being an open nester now, how was dating, because you said you're getting back to yourself, walking around the house naked and all that. I'm sorry baby girl.
Starting point is 00:16:53 What you with? What? What the hell, Jeff? That stud came out of you just now. What was that? You need to relax. She's like walking around the house. What was that?
Starting point is 00:17:08 I've never even heard the term open nester. Jesus. What is it? What am I? Empty nester. I like open nester. You like open nester? What? Do I?
Starting point is 00:17:16 Open nester. Because the nest is open again. The nest is open. So they FaceTime me all the time and they see I'm naked and they're like, please put some clothes on. So the whole walking around naked is a thang. It. It's a good thing. Yeah. Because that like makes you feel sexy. Yes. So yes. The landscape has come what more than once a week I'm sure. Landscape has come three times a week but why stay back? I don't stand in front the window in
Starting point is 00:17:39 V. Right. So it's it's a good feeling and yes I have been dating. Okay. To answer your question. Because I seen on the show you this speed dating with Ashley who's now divorced. Yes But yes, how was that? Are you still seeing the guy from the speed date? Yeah, he's around. Okay. Yeah, there's several You got a roster. Yeah It's about that because I have the time now. Yes. So if you had time for a roster you'd have a roster That's right. Yeah, and if you weren't in a roster, you'd have a roster. That's right. Yeah, and if you weren't in committed relationships, people, which all of you all are in?
Starting point is 00:18:09 Yes, ma'am. Yes, okay. Because I used to have a roster, girl. I was up and down the streets. And all of them was Chris. Chris one, Chris two, Chris three, Chris four. I know, I got ties, so I just settled down with one. No, I feel like it's my time.
Starting point is 00:18:22 I feel like I'm not going to settle into something unless it's really, really, really right. Yeah. And I earned that. Yeah. Do you want to get married again? So, I have said for like the longest time, absolutely not. Like for what?
Starting point is 00:18:36 Like what does that bring to me? But I might, I'm open. What changed your mind? What's his name? Mind your business. I'm open because I do feel like, you know, my kids have never seen like a straight up family unit and they don't really understand the concept of what that means. So I if I'm able to give that to them and if the guy is amazing, then I will.
Starting point is 00:19:06 And there will be major prenups, trusts, all that handled. I was just gonna ask you about how you're moving forward with, like how do you date now? Because with your last marriage, infidelity played a big part in it. So how are you with trusting who you're even dating, even if it's not exclusive, like are you scared? No, not scared at all.
Starting point is 00:19:33 I mean, I think all of us have trust issues. Just by nature, we black people, who we trustin'. But at some point in time, you gotta let it go. And I'm okay with that. I'm okay with being with a man and I can finally just let it go. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm not the girl to like,
Starting point is 00:19:54 I don't know about you Jess, but I don't look through people's phones and I'm not trying to find, I'm not trying to be FBI. I'm not trying to find out what you're doing Yeah, I actually just don't care. Mm-hmm. So if you're out here doing something I'm the easiest girl to cheat on cuz like I just I won't I won't I'll be the last to know. Mmm. Yeah Yeah, so once you break the trust it's a problem. How are the kids with your dating with? Oh
Starting point is 00:20:20 How are they with that? So they hate everybody. I'm sure do they? Um, so they hate everybody. I'm sure. Do they? She said yes. Nobody good enough for moms.

We got the Kid Merrill.

We want to raise awareness and we want this to stop. Wow, very powerful. I'm Ellie Flynn, and I'm an investigative journalist.
Starting point is 00:22:50 When a group of models from the UK wanted my help, I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a Playboy model. Lingerie, topless. I said, yes, please. Because at the center of this murky world is an alleged predator.
Starting point is 00:23:08 You know who he is because of his pattern of behavior? He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it. He's everywhere and has been everywhere. It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated. Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in. It's not just me. We're an army in comparison to him. Listen to The Bunny Trap on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and my latest interview is with Wiz Khalifa. The craziest part of my life, I can go from performing in front of 40,000 people to either being in a dress room, being in a plane, or being back in a bed all by myself. He is a multi-platinum selling recording artist, mini mogul, and an actor. Which one was the one, the only, Wiz Khalifa! Did you feel like a big break was coming?
Starting point is 00:24:05 I didn't know what that big break looked or felt like, but I knew that what I was doing was working. The gang banging and the drug selling, that's not really for me. But the looking cool, the having girls, the making music, I'm like, I like that part of it. How was that experience for you? Losing someone so close to you that you love?
Starting point is 00:24:24 I am grateful that I was able to have like the last moments that I had and to be able to prepare for it. And it was something that I'm still dealing with.

This intimate and wide-ranging conversation between friends covers the pivotal decisions in Martha's career, the philosophy that has guided her, and the source of so much of her creative inspiration. They actually looked at the July issue that I had prototyped and they said, this is fabulous.
Starting point is 00:25:29 What would you do next July? And I said, well, living is a limitless subject matter. Listen to math and magic on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I just feel like I don't take anybody seriously and I don't allow men to make mistakes that I'm just like onto the next. So they don't really even get invested unless they really see I'm invested, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:53 How's it been doing the show without Robin? It was tough, it was tough. You know, Robin, y'all know she's notoriously late. I was always thinking she was going to come into the scene just late per usual. She was always kind of like the voice of reason, where people are going left and screaming at each other. She was always looking at like the bigger picture,
Starting point is 00:26:11 and we didn't have that. So yeah, I missed, I missed, definitely missed her. Yeah. But she's just opened up a med spa in Columbia. You know, the Target in Columbia? Yeah. In that strip mall. I hate that I said the Target in Columbia, you knew exactly what I was talking about.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Yeah, absolutely, many Targets in Columbia, yeah. Okay. So it's in that mall. Well congratulations, Lavin. Definitely, it's called Glow 30. Yeah, so next time you're in town. And it's like a subscription type of mad spot. She's doing great.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Yeah. Did you ever think about walking? Because she said she got fired. Did you ever think about walking when she got fired? I'm supposed to quit my job because you got fired? I know that's right. I know that's right. I'm supposed to fumble my bag? Adele.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Did y'all have a convoy about it, though? Sure. Of course. Like, after she got the call, she immediately called me. But she kind of felt it coming. Unfortunately, she's in a situation in which she's with her guy, Juan, but for whatever reason, people don't like that relationship. And so year after year, she would have to defend it,
Starting point is 00:27:15 and it was kind of like, everybody was tired of this. But you know, you shouldn't have to defend the person that you have been married to, that you love constantly. Like, let it be. So she's not, she's stress free right now. I'm the one stressed out, cause I'm still on the show. But she's like stress free and living her best life. Are you bringing those, the people that you're dating
Starting point is 00:27:36 on the show or no? What? What are you talking about? Don't make these hoes famous now. You will never. Don't make the hoes famous. I mean, he's gotta be. So I did the speed dating.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Right. So let me tell you about the speed data. So we were going out a couple of times but then you know he really liked me. Just like a little too much. You know he was like telling me all the time. And that's kind of like the kiss of death. You don't like infection. I don't like you. Infection. Infection. Oh infection. No we don't like infections. Of course you don't like infections.
Starting point is 00:28:07 I do, but it's a way that you do it. You did too much too quick. And it's like, you just tell me I'm great once, not like all day, every day. Don't keep praising. Yes. Yes. That is so confusing. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:28:20 I was gonna say the same thing. What if I really feel that way? What if I'm looking at you and I'm like, damn, your God bless me. Oh my God. If you only say it one time, once again. Damn. I mean, because then it's the challenge is over for me. Then you know, I know. I got him.
Starting point is 00:28:33 I got him. Yeah, what? I have nothing to look forward to. Now what else? Yeah. So, or tell me in other ways, make it be a gift. Make it, you know, don't tell me what your words, tell me tell me with action, right? So, I did something else in my life. I can say I did do a dating show, right?
Starting point is 00:28:53 So, I told him about the show before I left, and that kinda like threw him off. And he couldn't understand it. So he went away. You thought he was the one, and you went ahead and go on a dating show. Yeah, but I said, I already got this bag before I met you So you should have understood. Yeah, and he did but he went away for like three months and then when all of a sudden
Starting point is 00:29:11 He just like reappeared. He went away for three months jail or no went away like Right now he's back full throttle. He wants to do trips and he wants to do all the things because now he's putting his full energy and attention in it the way that I want to receive it. That motivated him. That motivated him. So every now and again, you just gotta let him loose.
Starting point is 00:29:41 So when you tell him that, when you say, look man, you don't gotta tell me I'm great all the time, how does he react to that? Well, when you say, look, man, you don't gotta tell me I'm great all the time. How does he react to that? Well, Giselle, I mean, I just want to express myself. I just want to let you know. And I mean, I haven't, like, you know, I haven't, I don't really meet women like you all the time.
Starting point is 00:29:55 And it's just, yeah, I know, player. Like it's just like, wow, you understand. I understand. After a while, I was like, all right, now, you're dating somebody, you want to tell her she's beautiful, but you can only tell her once a year. I ain't saying that. But she like, no, people always, I heard what she said. You said he should also show you.
Starting point is 00:30:12 You don't got to tell me. Show me what your actions. Yes. I can understand that. Yes. And my kids met him, and they was throwing shade at him. So it was just like, yeah. Like I said, I need three months away from this. So you can't date anybody that's, quote, unquote,
Starting point is 00:30:24 average or broke, because you took trips You took my buy me expensive gifts. The daughter's like no Words in my mouth, all right You don't have to I'm not the Gucci Louie Prada girl. Like you don't have to Right now however, I bought this from ice out. Okay, right. I don't I don't need that but you can show me little flowers It doesn't have to be Um, okay to answer your question my dating a man that's broke. No Like why would I do that
Starting point is 00:30:57 Because you try to get a politically correct answer he's like look And just you can appreciate this have worked hard for where you are, stability and financialism, right? As have I. Why, you don't need to take care of a man. No. No. So, it's a no.
Starting point is 00:31:15 And I don't know who you're with. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not with somebody I gotta take care of now. I wasn't in a relationship like that. A couple of relationships like that, so I definitely know what you mean. I don't want to date nobody broke. But and I know that because I've dated broke people. So that's why I know that.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Yeah. I, she probably never did. I've dated broke men and been up, you know what I mean? And try to help and nah, no, no, no. That's why I don't want to do it. What if he's a great man, everything. He just don't have the finances. So, so that can only go so far and I'm fine with finances. So that can only go so far. And I'm fine with that.
Starting point is 00:31:45 But it can only go like in the bedroom. And then like where are we going to dinner? No, you can't pay. Are we going on a trip? No, I can afford my tickets, you can't afford yours. And of course they love you. Yeah, so it's like where, what are we doing here? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:58 The show was Love Hotel, right? The show was Love Hotel. Okay, okay. Yes. Now I wanted to ask about the, I know you still in the lawsuit with Eminem. Did that ever finish? What ever happened with that?
Starting point is 00:32:08 Is it over yet? Y'all could probably appreciate this. Y'all probably know more than me. Okay, so y'all know a guy named Paul Rosenberg? Eminem's manager. Eminem's manager, yep. We deposed him. And from that, okay I can't say much.
Starting point is 00:32:20 From that, it's almost over. It's almost over. So our position was Eminem deposed, Eminem's team had me and Robin deposed. So all is fair in love and war, we were gonna depose Eminem. So when our side said, okay, we need to post him, all hell broke loose.
Starting point is 00:32:37 They was like, oh no, no, never. He doesn't even know anything about this. Well, if he doesn't know anything about this, why are we here? That's right, because his name is all in every headline. Right, but that's a lie. I mean, you had to have told him something. So because of that, I think that they have decided,
Starting point is 00:32:53 okay, these girls aren't going away, and like we gotta settle, well, patent and trade is gonna settle it, or figure it out, because we're at the end of the road. All depositions have been done, all disclosures, all all, and yes, we've spent a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:33:07 I was gonna ask, how much did y'all pay in lawyer fees? It's still ongoing, but a lot, a lot. He don't own the word shady. You don't own the word shady, and what they don't, and what we know is there have been other companies, small companies, not insignificant, but small like Upstarts that have had Shady in their name and they paid them off.
Starting point is 00:33:29 They paid them off to go away, just to make it go away. But we weren't gonna do that. Or unless y'all didn't offer us something that could make us go away, but no, we're too far in now. And no, it's a no. And I don't even get it, like, why would you be doing this to us? Because we, thank God we had the money,
Starting point is 00:33:46 but let's just say we didn't. And we're just two black women out here just trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents. Yeah. Make sure you subscribe to the Reasonably Shady podcast on the Black Effect I Heart Radio podcast network, available everywhere you listen to podcasts. And we drop on Mondays.
Starting point is 00:33:59 Real quick, what is the real beef with Karen? And who? You. Karen and me? Yeah, because you know what? One minute y'all throwing shade, next minute y'all supporting each other. Is there a real beef? Is what I should have said. Is there a real beef? Any underlying issues? To be, truth be told,
Starting point is 00:34:16 I think, Karen and I obviously we started the show together. Let's pray for Karen because she's going to court next week. I think that in Karen's mind she wanted to be whatever she wanted to be as far as the show was concerned. And she had a lot of people in her ear. And so I think that that caused her to like come for me and come for me. But I've known Karen since before the show started.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Like we were friends. So I knew what she was doing sometimes on camera was just some nonsense, and I was going to ride with you with this nonsense. Yeah. But I mean, we've been doing this for so long now. Like, at its core, we love each other. At its core, we root for each other. But she just comes for me because she gets bored.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Got it. Yeah. And I'm okay with that. I'll play. I'll play with you. Oh, we know you play. Okay. I just had to ask that for myself.
Starting point is 00:35:03 I watched the show. I wouldn't know. Yes. Myself and Ashley is on the that for myself. I watched the show. I wouldn't know. Myself and Ashley is on the show. Yeah, y'all been doing a lot of business together. Yes. Yes. And Ashley is wild. Yes.
Starting point is 00:35:14 How do y'all feel about public displays of affection? It depends. If that's your boo, what's wrong with that? It depends on where we at sometimes. Like, you know, if we're going somewhere, if it's a date night and we're somewhere intimate, fine. But I don't really like to hold hands. I don't like to every now and then, you know, you can't.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Are you a hand holder? Excuse me? Yes. I'm sorry what you're saying? Nothing. Okay. So, yeah, I don't hold. It don't matter if I can have little small ass hands. Don't hold them.'re saying? Nothing. OK. So yeah, I don't hold. It don't matter. If I can have little small ass hands, don't hold them. Yes.
Starting point is 00:35:47 You know? So I don't know. It depends. It just depends. I don't really like public affection either. I'm a cancer, so I'm very affectionate. Oh, in public? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:57 OK, so I like that. But I've got to be in a relationship or really with this guy. So to meet all these guys and all of a sudden, like they wanna kiss me on camera, like it kind of freaks me out. Well see that's whack because like you said, you're not in a relationship
Starting point is 00:36:12 and these guys might be doing that just because you are Gisele. So let me get a look. They could be cloud chasing, you know what I mean? Yes, so but other ladies on the show, they was cool with it. And so it's, you'll see Giselle over here being a prude, and you'll see pimps up, hoes down.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Okay? Okay. So, what's up with Mia Thornton? I heard you say that she's dead to you. And it's two part question. You said she's dead to you, and is it hard when people bring your children into the reality show? Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:36:44 So, the second part, yes, it is disgusting when you talk your children into the reality show? Yeah, no. So the second part, yes, it is disgusting when you talk about children. They didn't sign up for this, and children are just off limits. That's like across the board. Children are off limits. So if you want to come for me, come for me. Like, you don't have to bring my children into this. So that for me is a point of no return. You're like, she and I used to be friends off camera, but that's over.
Starting point is 00:37:08 And I feel like you do it when you're desperate. You do stuff like that when you're desperate. When you ain't got no storyline. When you desperately think that this is gonna elevate you. And it didn't really work out that well for her. I mean, nobody's buying into that. Yeah, and she's got enough to worry about. She got a husband, she got a little boyfriend,
Starting point is 00:37:27 she don't know the paternity of her child. I mean, there's a lot going on for her. Wow. So, yeah, she's dead to me, still. Yes. Yeah. She'll never be alive. Damn, even if she apologized?
Starting point is 00:37:41 So, we're gonna let the show play out, but there was, she was given ample opportunity to apologize, but you know what she did? She doubled and tripled down on it. Yikes. Can't do that. And nobody plays when it comes to their kids. At all.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Who playing about their kids? Nobody. Yeah, so if you think it and you're going to continue to do it, that means you really feel that way about my kids and that's a never. Yeah. Yeah, no. I ain't mad at you.
