Jess Hilarious. Charlemagne Nagar. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Taylor, Poldair, Williams. That's your middle name, right? No.

Is it Pallador? Polidore. Pallador. That's what she told me, Pallador Williams. Welcome. How are you doing? Thank you. I'm good.

Beauty and Black Season 2. How are you laughing like that? You said, yes, yes. How does it feel? Like, all it is. Look, because I'm in Washington since episode one. Okay. How does it feel?

to have it continue. Because you know, a lot of shows live for one season, two seasons. How does it feel to have it continuing? You know, I feel very grateful. I think when you're able to have a second season, that's one thing. But then to have a second season and the fan base continue to grow

and people are excited. Even bigger. Yeah, it's crazy. I'm grateful, but I'm excited. It's been fun. Yeah. I'm just enjoying it. As life changed?

Because, you know, Beauty and Black is on Netflix. It's a big show. Like, have you felt the change? Yeah, actually. I think season one, not that I was kind of in denial, but it's like, you know, this might be a moment. It passes. I've been acting since I was 13, so it's like, okay, enjoy it. But then this season, it does feel different. The visibility that I have is different places that I go. It's no longer like, oh, you're familiar. It's like, Kimmy, and they're hugging. And it's like, woo. I'm not used to that. Having to kind of move a little bit different. But I think I always thought it would happen. You know, if you keep acting and a show is popular, it would happen. But nothing can really prepare you for that shift. Yeah.

I want to go back if you don't mind. So you're from Houston, Texas. Yes. And you got into acting at a young age. You said 13. What made you like the arts? What made you love the arts? I think I've always been creative as a kid.

I like playing and pretend. Who doesn't? But it was my first movie that I was in. And I was auditioning at the time after Katrina, the tax credits came to Louisiana. So it brought a lot of films to the South. And Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins was being filmed there. I got a part. And I loved acting.

But when I got on the set and saw the sound stages and the crew and like what it takes to actually make a movie, I was like, oh, I just want to do this for the rest of my life. And I just kept going. Yeah. Because you produced too, right? I do. So what have you learned about? And right. So what have you learned about yourself as an artist wearing all those different hats, producing, acting, writing?

The biggest thing is that I cannot do them all by myself. I know that there are people who are experts in what they do, who love writing, and I honor whatever people love the most. And I think that's why I like producing, because it's like I can pick and choose, oh, you're fire at this. Let's all come together and putting it all together is the fun part for me. Now, what I want to ask you about the show is, right? Because like I said, I've been watching since first episode. Do you ever look at this script, right, and be like, all right, this is far-fetched. Come on, Ty, come on.

Absolutely. She must look at it all the time like that. Absolutely. I think when we were getting ready for season two, and Tyler was like sending us the scripts at a full clip. Like, it's like, we're getting two episodes in a day. It's like, dang, what are you doing? And he's sending these scripts, and I'm reading it genuinely like, oh my God. It's crazy.

It keeps you on your toes. It's as fun to film it, probably more fun to film it than it is to watch it. And your character in the beginning, you start off shy. You're not standing up for yourself. You're pissing me off. I was like, Kimmy, get your shit together.

These people coming for you. And then you just turn into a natural born kill-bill character. You're just out here, you know? Now, what is your ritual to get ready for that? Because it seemed like it didn't really take much, I guess to be shy. Is that your real demeanor?

Like, are you shy? You don't really talk a lot? No. Okay. I wouldn't say that I'm just the most talkative person in the world. I'm more reserved, but it's not because I'm shy. I'm just more observant. But to not stand up for yourself is very different for me.

And that was actually a process when we went in for the callbacks. I was having a conversation with Tyler. He was like, I know you could do strong because we worked together before. He was like, but can I see you do this? And I was like, I mean, yeah, of course I can try the vulnerability part. But I was like, but do I want to do that? Like, why can't she do this? He was like, if you just trust me with the story, it's going to go somewhere that, that no one is going to expect this.

She's going to be a boss. And I was like, okay, okay, well, I could do the victim thing. I could figure that out. So he challenged you. Yeah, absolutely. Because I, I'm not a person that backs down from confrontation or if somebody's doing me wrong. You will know that you've done me wrong. So with Kimmy, I was frustrated too, but I think that propelled the story even more.

So now in season two, it's warranted. Yeah. How did you get into, like, Tyler Perry's universe because you were in divorce and black? And now you're here with the, you know, with the beauty and black. Like, how did you, how did that happen for you? You know, it's funny, I went to school in Atlanta, knowing that I wanted to act. I went to Clark Atlanta University. And I just knew I was going to be in something Tyler Perry in school.

And that didn't happen. I went school, came, went to L.A., and it was just an audition a normal audition for a different film that he was doing and I went into the callback and typically at a callback

they'll tell you the director of the writer would be in the room they didn't say that I thought it was just gonna be Kim Coleman so I walk in and Tyler Perry's right there and he's like hey Taylor come on in

and I was like what are you doing here Tyler but I didn't say that I was very professional and I did it he was like I only want to see the first scene I already saw your second scene on the tape go and I like took a breath and I did it and he was like where are you from I was like I'm from

Texas and he was like let me see the second scene and I was like I don't know what just happened but I got it and I ended up getting divorcing the black it was a different movie they were like we want to keep you on hold for this one but are you open to reading another film and I was like sure and I thought that he was going to ask me to do an audition for that one they said if you wanted sure is it is it is it pressure when you see somebody like Tyler walking in the room do you have to gather yourself a little bit is it different yes It is different because I respect him a lot.

I'm very inspired by how he moves, just all that he's built. So you do have to take a minute and kind of breathe, I think, when it's somebody you admire. But you snap right into it or did you stutter? Did you mess up at first time? You said, no, I didn't do it. I didn't do it. I got that part. I didn't stuttered, but I did after.

I was like, what? Yeah, yeah. How long did it take y'all to film The Voice in the Black? I know that's the movie. That was my joint, too. How long did it take y'all to film that? It took us six days. To film the whole movie.

To film the whole movie. Because you know, it's always out there that Tyler Perry B.B. We'll start at 9 a.m. And y'all be done at 10 p.m. We shot season two of Beauty and Black all 16 episodes in 12 days. Jesus.

Do you like filming like that? Like fast get it out the way? Or do you prefer a little time to breathe, a little time to rest to reset? Or do you just knock it out? We shouldn't have time to think about it. Right. We don't have time.

I think about the time she has an opinion. I'm adaptable, working with different directors, working on different shows, different whatever, it's kind of like coming into somebody else's house. If this is how y'all do it, cool. I'll assimilate. How long are those days? 12 hours.

Well, okay, okay. Yeah, we don't go over. No, it's not bad. And then you're done. Yeah. So he just pretty much just count on y'all knowing your lines because that's pretty much, you know, all the retakes and cut and do it again. Yes.

Y'all don't have none of that. No. I mean, very sparingly. If he said, can I please get one more? He'll be like, yes, depending on who you are. So he told people before, no. Like, can I get in one line? No.

Yeah, sometimes. Or even with some of us, with the wonderful, wonderful cast, everybody. He'll be like, can I get one more? He's like, I got it. No, I got it. And you just got to trust. What role of project has challenged you the most? And why?

Definitely, beauty and black. Okay. The sheer speed at which we're, filming it um and then also uh particularly in the first season being somebody who is playing somebody who is sex traffic somebody who is so beaten down the thing at the time i was planning my wedding so it was like i don't have this life experience but i have to go there every day scene after scene scene after scene it was like for a whole week i'm just crying in every scene getting beat up it was it was a lot um but it stretched me as an artist knowing

that I can do that. If somebody says, cry right now, I can do that. If you need me to do that, I can go there and jump back into what I have to do in my normal life and stay sane. How did your now husband deal with it? Because you were in a role and I'm sure you were in a character. I'm sure it wasn't you're planning a wedding. It's supposed to be happy, joyous,

but now you're diving into this character. So how did he handle that? Oh, like a champ. He is a surgery resident right now, which is a very grueling schedule as well. So I think it was a lot of mutual respect. If I got home before him, or if he got home before me, he'd make dinner. If I got

home, I bring him dinner from set. It's just like, we're in the trenches together. So he actually loved how rigorous the schedule is, because sometimes on other shows, you know, I might do a couple scenes. We're not doing surgery. We're not dealing with life or death, even on a difficult day. It's still a blessing to be there. I thought he was a surgical resident. He is. I'm saying what I do. Oh, yeah. So how he got time to cook? He's a good man. I know that's right I don't know that's right I don't know what Taylor said

Telling said she cooked She said I take some home Some extra food She said he's cooking I get no doggy back for you say I'm tired No no no no

I learned how to cook A few years ago You're from Texas He didn't know how to cook Mm-hmm You ever bring anything home from work Like lunch Mm

You bring you a snack I'll bring you snacks drinks and stuff candy Okay Yeah Absolutely Well congratulations

You got married Congrats Thank you That's what's up No, I was asking you, going back to my question, how do you get ready to organs, y'all? I don't want you out. Hey, yo. Excuse me.

No. No. All the time. Snacks. I don't like seeing anything from his job. Yeah. Oh, so he do be bringing stuff on? Yo, shut up.

He'll come in with blood all over him sometimes. Sheldon like an eyeball. He ain't going to come in with an eyeball. No, no organs are brought into the home. No, you said you got to cry. You have to cry a lot on set and everything like that. How do you get into that? I know.

nothing other than you being a great actress, right? But, like, how do you get ready for that? Like, what's your ritual to go into that role when things start going crazy for you on the show when they get crazier for you? Yeah, definitely the preparation before filming, I think it's a treat. Because we shoot so fast,

Tyler gives us all of the scripts for the season. And that's typically not... Oh, damn. We typically don't have that on a different type of TV show. So I'm able to kind of prepare for it like a movie. I know exactly where I am. A lot of notes on my personal script, so I know where to dive in because we're shooting out of order.

And also the wonderful team at TPS. The crew is phenomenal. From wardrobe to the script supervisors. We have readers. People will help us kind of get on track to know where we are, but the work that I do before can get me into the mode. And then I love music too, so I have playlists and songs and different things to help.

You said something earlier. So you said, you know, it helps you to stay sane. What do you do to stay? I have a great therapist. Yes, very important. So number one. And I think I'm overall a pretty even person. So just continuing to stay grounded and on my feet.

If I know I'm getting overwhelmed, I'll take a second to breathe. I meditate daily. I'll meditate on set. If I have a break, every morning I have the same routine. I listen to jazz. I get my green tea. Like just trying to control as much as I can and sometimes a chaotic environment

and then coming out of that. When we rap, I'm done with Kimmy. I'm done with whatever character I'm playing. And I have my own playlist of my own music that's like brings me back. I wish I got to talk to people who were like on days of our lives and guiding light and all those shows back in the day

because I wonder if the process was the same for them as it is for y'all. Those shows used to come on daily, so I'm sure they used to tape a lot. And I know that y'all think Tyler got a lot of traumatic shit. Them shows had some wild-ass storyline, yo. Like, people were getting buried alive, people were getting

possessed by demons. I just wonder if they had to, if they ever could even decompress. At least y'all get the opportunity. I wonder if they ever did. I mean, I think it's somewhat similar to us. They're shooting a lot of scenes in one day. Shout out to Debbie Morgan because she came

from that world. I mean, she's been on everything. But it was just the job. I think they probably handle it the way that we do. Because y'all know y'all are the new stories. I tell people that all the time. Tyler Perry stuff, that's the new stories. Like our grandparents, she's like, I'm going to watch my story. That's what you're new stories.

Yeah, people are invested. Do you laugh at some of the fight scenes sometimes? Because those are the things I feel like they go all over the internet. Absolutely. The back and forth, the one-liners, the actual fighting, those might be the most difficult to. to stay in character because you gotta laugh yes like as a cast we all are people that really like each other we enjoy being at work we enjoy and have a great time together and there's very

little levity in love in every scene that we do i don't know how y'all take you serious is that i don't know what show was that one scene when the two dudes getting the fight the one yeah one do hit and he spin like three times he spent all the way around yeah he said it wasn't that but it's a Tyler is a Tyler Perry one yes but his fight scenes are always classic hilarious which one is that he just be spinning I don't know. I don't know. You know what they got sisters.

Maybe that was brothers. But look, the funniest thing was when, well, first of all, no, who laughed when Varney kept saying, I'm your bitch? I mean, who laughed? So, you know. Because I would get fired that day. I'm not going to lie. That one and not the fruitcake line? Can I heard of fruit cake?

I'm like, Jesus. Yeah, yeah, fruit cake, yeah. I read all of the scripts. Yes. But then I just focus on what I have to do because it's a lot. so I forgot that that was even a thing until I was watching it and so I'm watching it like everybody else does

and I'm like what is going on and I think they actually got a little heated like they had to take a sake of I'm Hunter host of Hunting for Answers on the Black Effect podcast network join me every weekday as I share bite-sized stories of missing and murdered black women and girls in America

there are several ways we can all do better at protecting black women My contribution is shining a light on our missing sisters and amplifying their disregarded stories. Stories like Tamika Anderson. As she drove toward Galvez, she was in contact with several people, talking on the phone as she made her way to what should have been a routine transaction. But Tamika never bought the car, and she never returned home that day. One podcast, one mission, save our girls.

Join the searches, we explore the chilling cases of missing and murdered black women and girls. Listen to hunting for answers every weekday on the Black Effect Podcast Network, IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Think back to the early 2000s. You're flipping through TV channels, and then you hear this. I was rooting for you. We were all rooting for you. How dare you! Learn something from this!

But looking back 20 years later, that iconic show so many of us love, is horrified. Robin, first of all, is too old to be starting a model. She's huge. I talked to cast, crew, and producers who were there for some of the show's most shocking moments. If you were so rooting for her,

what did you help her? With never-before-heard interviews, The Curse of America's Next Top Model examines why this show was so popular and where it all went wrong. We basically sold our souls, and they got rich. Listen to the curse of America's Next Top Model on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast,

or wherever you get your podcast. It may look different, but Native culture is very alive. My name is Nicole Garcia, and on Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we aim to explore that culture. It was a huge honor to become a television writer because it does feel oddly like very traditional. It feels like Bob Dylan going electric that this is something we've been doing for a hundred years. You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence. That's Sierra Taylor Ornelis,

who with Rutherford Falls became the first native showrunner in television history. On the podcast, Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we explore her story along with other native stories, such as the creation of the first Native Comic-Con or the importance of reservation basketball. Every day, Native people are striving to keep traditions alive while navigating the modern world, influencing and bringing our culture into the mainstream. Listen to Burn Sage Burn Bridges on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

But the humility in knowing that life is this classroom that we should never graduate for is what is going to keep you growing. And that's all that matters. World Mental Health Day is around the corner. And on my podcast, Just Healed with Dr. Jay, I dive into what it really means to care for your mind, body, and spirit. From breaking generational patterns to building emotional capacity. Healing is a journey and wholeness is the destination.

I'm going to walk away feeling very healed and feeling like, yes, I'm going to continue. continue my healing journey, and I'm going to get some keys from you. Listen to Jess Hilbert, Dr. Jay, from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Step back. Roy and Varney? Yeah, I think I saw Julian or Terrell talk about that.

I'm sorry, yeah, that is their real names. I'm talking about Roy and Bonnie. Yeah, okay. So they had to take a beat. Yeah. Damn. Yeah. It's very intense.

A lot of them are a lot of the scenes. are very intense, I would say. I know you talk about how different your real life is from Kimi's, but what did you learn about surviving versus living, like actually living from Kimmy's character? That's a good question. I think

I've always known or been informed about trauma responses, being in therapy, and also being an advocate for youth in foster care certain training that I have to go through or had to go through I understand how people

react and respond to certain things but I think what Kimmy taught me is just a little bit more empathy for the decisions that people make because that's the work of an actor is justifying what somebody is doing and making it real. I have to make it real

to me to play it so I was asking myself like why would she not just leave? Why would she not do this? Right. And she's trying to survive. That's exactly it. So the stakes that people go through to simply try to survive on top of the things that they've already been through. And I think it made me very appreciative and very empathetic for the things that, the decisions that people make.

It doesn't necessarily make them right. But like if we know everybody's story, you can probably rationalize it a little bit. When you got the script, is there, was there every moment you were like, oh, hell no, when you read something like, nah, this is not. this is not it. When you'd be like, let me call Tyler see if we could change this. You ain't got to answer that. Don't let him fuck up your life.

You know what I'm really trying to think. This red Tyler Perry villain. Was there ever, you know, reading a script, it was like, whoa. No, actually, there were things that I was like, oh my gosh, this is horrible. Especially in season one, some of the things with Kimmy and Roy.

Kimmy and Jules, that dynamic. But it was more so questions. I need to understand why. why and he's always very open to talk to me about why in the show right why do you feel like Kimmy is having a hard time not trusting her now husband that is actually a very big difference between me and Kimmy

I'm probably a little too trusting like that was a question that happened on set Tyler was like if somebody were to just give you $5,000 wouldn't you be like what's the catch I was like not me I'd be like thank you and he was like you're so innocent. I was like, maybe. But learning, again, the trauma-informed responses that Kimmy has, why would she trust him?

He just met her. I know, but he also did a bunch of things for her to help her. But what is the catch? You ever take any of it at home, though? You ever be like, you sure you still at the residence? You're talking to her husband? Yeah.

You with the organs or you with the hopes. Never. Never with him. Never with him. Maybe if somebody randomly gave me $5,000, I'm going to be like, why, but not with him. Oh, you know, organs, you know, they sell them for high prices. He has not selling organs. No, I'm just saying. I'm not with you, man. She ain't going to come back of here.

God, man. Not selling organs. No, but all the, all right, no, and in the beginning I did feel like that. I felt like, ah, no, I don't trust them because I felt like that. But then when you look, from a viewer standpoint, when you look and you see all the bullshit that's going on the side of it. And he can't even trust his. family they don't trust each other it's so much going on and he about to die you know I'm saying who can he trust he find this girl and he's like who is Kimmy she

feel like she can't trust him but he's showing and proven that he can be trusted at least you know for the greater good of what's happening the grand scheme of things right you want your sister back you you know well Kimmy wants that sister back she wants out of this whole game and it's things that he don't know either he didn't know about the nightclub situation or whatever until you know you made certain things relevant to him now he know he's like okay he is using you but he still needs you and he still wants you to trust him why does it take so long for you to trust this nigga i mean you're right you're right you're right i'm sorry but still keep in mind from episode one of season two to

episode 16 i think it's only been two to three days it is yes well damn tiler he got a But to your point, to your point, she is, I think she's warming up to him. Yeah. I think she's warming up. And I would hope that in part two or beyond that maybe she'll give him a chance. I don't, I don't want to ruin anything. Yeah. How do you handle criticism, right?

But you see how passionate she is. And I'm sure people come up to you passionate all day long, right? How do you handle the criticism online? People might not liking a character this day. Why do you do that, Kimmy? Yeah. How do you handle that? That has been a new adjustment, like to the question you asked me earlier.

And honestly, I made a decision before the project even came out that if I can look at one negative comment and it ruined my day or I feel like I need to justify something or defend, then I need to respond to every single person showing love, everybody saying that they love the show or whatever. And if I can't respond to all of them, I don't need to respond to negativity. Because I'm not that type of person anyway. I would say like I'm a pretty optimistic person. I'm a realistic person, but, like, I don't have a lot of drama and, like, stuff in my life, so I can't even worry about that. Yeah. Like, I can't. There are people that I trust to give me real feedback, like, what is the real assessment?

And then we keep it going. You said it was kind of hard. I'm saying the word victim, but you said it was kind of hard to play, I guess, a victim-like role. So as the character evolved, as the character evolved, was it easier for you to go from victim to vindicated? Yeah. But I think, one, it is just easier to play somebody not in that situation. I have more life experience as a person who is more empowered. But I think in wanting to protect her, that's why I was having such a difficult time.

Like, oh my gosh, why is this happening to her? Being able to have that vindication and play that out so soon into the second season is a real treat as an actor. I feel like with a lot of characters that begin one way and then they go. grow into this boss we might see that over like three four or five seasons but with her it happened kind of quick so it is it is fun to be able to do that I do like that I do like that quick turnaround of character development and that's cool I was gonna ask you know you spoke about it earlier you having help on setting people talking to you got into the script I always wondered is it easy to talk to like a human traffic of victim before to get their feeling to get their

mindset of why and how and when because I'm sure from your sense side, you don't understand because you've never been in that situation, so it's easy to find that out. Is that something that you've done when it came to these roles? Yeah. Because I was having a difficult time understanding why not just leave. I would rather be dead than deal with that. I would, but that's not Kimmy. So I did speak to somebody that had been through a situation like that. And a lot of times people, trafficking, I think, is a very formal word to describe what can happen to people and they don't even know until they're trying to get out of it um so doing research online YouTube is a great resource just trying to understand the mindset not only of how you got in

the situation why you stayed in it but what did it take to get out and that's the real resiliency obviously Kimmy is in a fictional world and the sugar daddy with no sugar came and took her out which is fun but for a lot of people that is a mindset shift that needed a lot of help a lot of support a lot of work to get out of that lifestyle did you understand it more after having those conversations and doing that research yeah yeah absolutely how was it how was it received by the person though because that's a person's real life and you're talking to them you know trying to get i guess game for a role how did they receive you even asking them in question oh i already knew her oh got you got you got yeah i already knew her and um she was open because she's past that now but i mean it is a with that

situation it was like a pimp situation not necessarily human trafficking when you're thinking somebody's being kidnapped and whatever but um she was open I think to get out of that most survivors not would be open to be exploited but to share that story especially if they made it out yeah have you had other women that are currently going through that or that have recently gotten out of those situations reach out to you and like is that a heavy weight yes on on social media they have pretty particularly more so in first season than this season. And again, as an advocate, I just want to help everybody.

I try to, like, connect people to resources or if you can't text or you can't do something, then I can text for you and then people I wouldn't hear from them or whatever. So that is difficult, but I just pray for them. How was it working with the legendary Otis? Otis is still looking good, man. I don't even know that man, real name. His name has been Otis ever since I watched him. That's so great.

How he did he? Malik is wonderful. Like he walks in, he's just so New York. He's like, good morning, come morning, queen, come morning, queen. He's just great and he's so grounded and he's really, really fun to work with back and forth. But like every scene that we had together is always so intense and horrible. And he's always like, it's okay, okay. And I'm like, I'm fine, I'm fine.

But it was good working with him. I love it. Favorite character on the show. Can't say yourself. I love... I honestly love Horace. I do too. It's something about him,

even in that hospital bed. I have faith that he's going to get out. I love Horace, but I love Mallory's one-liners. There's literally why I love all of them. That girl will be... Nasty. I love, she is. I love Mallory, though.

Nasty. It's like love hate, but I do. I love her on the show. But no, Horace. is my favorite, too, and he's fine, too. And I'm married to see, but he's father fine, you know, so I'm going to say that. Rico takes very good care of himself. Absolutely.

How do you see the role of Kimmy shaping, like, the next phase of your career? I would hope that the dynamic shift that Kimmy takes in the journey of Beauty and Black would open up doors for me to play roles that I haven't played before. It's interesting that a lot of the roles that I play before always, I mean, I played an assassin stripper. I played a mean girl. I played things like that. And it's like there's so many more layers to me and things that I'm actually not like any of those.

I haven't played a character that's like myself yet. So I would hope that she can keep exploring the dynamics of her. And from that, maybe Hollywood will take note and be like, yeah, I could see her as this too, right? now if you knew somebody right that wanted to be on the show like one of your friends and being as though you'd be around Tyler and I know he always looking for new actors and stuff you know how would you pitch to him I got this girl want to be on the show is that something that you would do what are you going from where she's probably I don't know

you got friends all overplace you Baltimore for example say he is looking for somebody else you know to be a stripper really good at that um how would you You say, yo, Tyler, I got this girl. Does he allow for, you know, conversations like that? She speaks well, very outspoken, funny. Yeah, he's very collaborative. I might be looking at the scripts, maybe a new season or something, like, wow, there's a character.

I know somebody that would be great. And I'm, and I would make a great traffic person. Like, I would be, I would kill it. I would kill it. I would kill it. Just let me know. Just let me know. Like, you know.

you know, Slav and the Lord. You know, Jess has been auditioning. Oh, wow. Yes. You never got back to her. So just, you know, hit him and Kim. That was the great pitch. Period.

You audition for some of these shows for real? Yeah. Which ones? A few. I'll send them, you know, sisters and the, the, um. Which one? The oval. Yes.

And then it's another one. It was like something, like a war situation happening. It was one of the other shows. Six Triple Eight. Six Triple Eight. No, but I did one for that too, but it was another one. Damn, it was another show. It was crazy.

It was wild. Tyler watches all the time. He got like 80 shows. Like, I know what I'm saying. I've auditioned for all of them without people even knowing. They're a special role for you. They'll get some special for you. We got some special.

Okay, cool. I just, just tell them. Yeah. Tell us like, you put that on me. I was going to watch his interview. That's great. No, you'll get you in there. Thank you, Kimmy.

Thank you so much. What is, this is my last time. She says she was optimistic. She is. I believe in you. I love this. She's so positive. I believe in you.

That's your turn to say amen. For real, yo. Shut up, for real. She's gonna do it. I'm serious. Thank you, Taylor. I forget what I was going to. Oh, so you talked a bit about like when people come to you on the street and they have criticisms, right?

When you guys, so on the other side, like we see people criticize Tyler Perry's movies for different things. I know when divorce and black came out, people had so much to say. And then the Amazon. number dropped numbers dropped and y'all drove up the Amazon Prime subscriptions bigger than any other MGM movie right so it's kind of like a checkmate how does the cast feel when you're watching all that play out but you can't really say anything and like what is Tyler Perry telling y'all like yo get off the internet like how is he responding to that um in real time he doesn't

tell us anything I think getting to know him and working with him and being on set he instills in us you focus on doing what you do there are people who are going to talk people are going to love it hate it whatever you do what God has intended for you to do and that's all you should worry about so for me even with divorce in the black that was probably when I changed my dynamic with looking at comments and like looking at Twitter and hashtags and things like that because you know I'm proud of what I do and then you look and it's like oh you see negative things and it's like I'm not even gonna let

that consume me I already did my job so if that's how you feel feel about it that's how you feel about it but you watch period you haven't about your wig no my wig was good okay oh the whole time the hair department was great got you yeah i don't know i'd all hit people complaining about the wigs on tyler perry productions anyway you kill the role you i love beauty and black i'm invested in the show and i'm not just saying it so you can go ahead and tell tyler give me wrong i really do love beauty and black i'd be in here telling them about about it all the time never heard you talk about it Yeah, Tara, he is lying.

The one scene that y'all kept talking about with the gay guys, remember? It was something about a butt, remember. You kept on, I remember. Oh, I remember. That's my favorite. He kept talking about the butt. He kept talking about the butt. He gave me his butt.

The brother, oh my God, he's so funny. Charles, Charles. That was the first season of Beauty and Black, wasn't it? That was first season, Beauty and Black? That was a fruitcake one, right? No, that was, when he dropped his pants and said, I know you want his ass. I know you're going to miss his ass.

You're going to miss his ass. You're going to miss his ass. That's a green in black. I love Charles. You talked about that for about three months. That's what got him watching. He wanted to read and everything later. That's what got to be on it too.

No, I'm not trying to. That is the point he wanted. That's the point you tried out. That was. That was definitely beauty and black. It was. Yes, that's how I found out about the shows. Because you kept telling me about the game.

If you watched it, you would know. I did watch the first reason of beauty and black. No, he's lying. So, so what happened with Charles? They thought he was, I know, the first, the first, first season, they got his car, right? Hold on now. That's, Beauty in Black is when somebody gets killed and then it's the old gay man in the club. Oh, yeah.

Watching the script, but he wanted the man, right? He wanted the man, yeah. She was in the club at one point. Yeah. Oh, he was the, you was in the script club with, y'all. But then she got. That's her. Not you just realized.

It's her the whole time. 20 minutes then. You got to talk about. If you guys came in here talking about the game, scenes first he would have been I watched a lot of Tyler pretzel but it's just all a blur I'm like that I wasn't like that was last year
