So what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to.
There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car
into a pond. And left a car into a pond.
And left a woman behind to drown.
Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death
and how the Kennedy machine took control.
Every week we go behind the headlines
and beyond the drama of America's royal family.

Good morning.
Good morning.
How y'all doing?
Operation Artees.
Yes, yes.
Oh my God. It's safe to say the term artee doesn't bother either one of y'all doing? Operation aunties. Yeah, yeah. Oh my God.
It's safe to say the term auntie doesn't bother
either one of y'all, clearly.
It doesn't bother me.
Well, let's just say I'm feeling bad.
What about you?
I don't mean, you know.
I...
I'm just bothering you.
Don't get hurt.
I'm just saying.
No, no, no.
I mean, I'm an aunt in real life.
So, you know, it's a respect thing there
and I like that about it.
I didn't like at first, like when you're like a certain age
and you're doing a beautiful picture.
Oh, go ahead, auntie.
I like that.
I feel like I heard that.
It's taking it away.
It's like, okay, you're trying to be sexy, trying to be cute.
It's too late for you.
Go ahead, girl.
It's too late.
I mean, that's what it felt like.
That's why they were saying it.
You have an asthma attack.
But I had to let it go, you know?
I mean, because I'm doing a movie with the titles.
I was like, oh, yeah, it's a thing of honor.
Yes, it's enduring.
It is. It is.
You know, I like being an auntie.
Yeah.
I do.
Now, Tisha, were you at Essence this weekend?
I was.
A friend of mine was so, no, no, he
ain't saying he's doing anything. He said, oh, he's a little younger. And he was so, when he got back to the hotel, Since this weekend. I was a friend of mine
He's a little younger and he was so when he got back to the hotel cuz we went out later I didn't go to the show but he seen you at the show and he was like, guess who I was standing next to
I'm like, who?
He was like auntie was looking amazing
I said, did you holler?
He said, I tried to flirt a little bit, but she wasn't.
I didn't remember none of that.
The mommy makeover had him.
But what you ever got upset about that?
I just saw Melissa and Auntie was looking good.
I wanted to get her number.
You would everything with it.
No, listen, I'm fine with it now.
I'm saying at first it was really just used to like take
back what someone was trying to do at a certain age.
I got you. I feel you on that.
You know what I'm saying? But now it's you know they're turning it around like as a respect.
I think it's sexy.
Like unk. You know what I'm saying?
So now I think it's enduring. I love being able to be somebody's auntie.
Of course.
You know somebody that somebody respects.
I don't.
Did you complain about the title of the movie when you first saw it?
Oh God no.
No.
I was, look, I gotta work.
We was good.
We was good.
It's like, oh yeah, I like the title.
It's great.
You know?
No kidding.
Before we get to the movie, so does your son love the skits that you do with him online?
I know he'd be watching.
Because sometimes I look at you and they be like, Ma, you embarrassing the hell out of
me.
No, they absolutely love, like getting there is not fun.
Like guys, y'all want to post, but once we're in it, we're having so much fun
and it's time for me to like spend time with my kids.
But honestly, I was very, very protective of my children,
especially the one that's on the spectrum.
And I didn't know whether this would be a good thing,
but once love on the spectrum
and the way that people embraced them,
it just changed everything for me.
And I was like, well, maybe it'll give him, it gives him so much confidence.
Now he's like, he likes when people like recognize him now.
He thinks he's funny, but I'll be like, I edit you funny.
Stop playing.
Stop playing.
They're not toys.
They're not toys.
They're not toys.
But I really enjoy it now.
I love it and he's excited about it.
As a matter of fact, we saw Croissette Michelle at Essence and it took her a second to come
over to me and she was like, I'm such a fan of Zenz.
And I thought that was so dope.
She had just come out and talked about her own experience and challenges.
And so I thought, yo, that is so dope.
And we had a wonderful talk about it
and what it's doing for his confidence.
So it's dope.
That's funny that you say love on the spectrum.
When I first saw it, I didn't know
if I should be enjoying watching it or not.
It was so good.
I love TV.
Why wouldn't you enjoy it?
I love it.
It's so good, but it's like,
it's just a different type of show.
I love it.
What's different about it?
It's just two people in love.
But no, but you know what? It's different because of show. I love it. What's different about it? It's just two people in love. But no, but you know what?
It's different because of the way that they love.
They love, they tell you exactly what they want
and that's how my son is.
Like, you know, I just want him to find somebody.
That's alright, we gonna find somebody for him.
We gonna put out a call.
Well the film that y'all are here for,
Operation Antis, how was it working together?
Oh, I love working with this one.
We both leave with this.
Yeah, so it was like, I mean, we met years and years ago.
We just never worked together.
I love her work and I love everything
she's done in her career.
So, it was like we were sisters at birth.
You know, it was directed by Wendy Raquel Robinson.
And we both know her.
I know her from a long time ago.
Yes, known her since the 90s,
worked on Martin together and everything.
But I knew I wanted to do it with her
because I've always wanted to work with her.
And then once she came on, I was like,
oh, that's icing on the cake.
So it's a great movie.
We had a good time.
It's like a cyber crime,
comedy, drama.
We giving you a little bit, it's all the things.
It's all the things.
And I love how it has like a message basically that without telling the movie y'all are like
exposed in the black market of like sex trafficking and everything.
It's really heavy in this climate right now.
And it's interesting to see black women in their greatness as well.
Like we are intelligent.
She plays a professor. and a tech genius.
So it's nice to see us in that realm too.
And y'all don't run away from those that those traits in the movies.
Like y'all are really strong.
Y'all are like how important was that to display on camera for y'all in this movie?
Well, really important because the whole thing is, oh, am I giving away a storyline?
No, no, no, go for it.
You know, we're taking them down,
you know what I'm saying?
And not only that, but it was someone I loved
almost got assaulted.
So it was like, look, police, we can't wait.
You know what I'm saying?
So, and I had the technology, which I liked that part.
Like, look, I'm still trying to learn how to work my iPhone,
but this character, you know, she was a tech genius and she's really smart. I love that part. Like, look, I'm still trying to learn how to work my iPhone, but this character, you know, she was a tech genius
and she's really smart.
I love that.
And then Tisha is a retired detective who comes back.
I just liked that we came together
to bring these people down.
So yeah, we had to be strong.
And Amaya Scott plays her niece, so it's really nice.
Amazing.
Okay.
Did y'all have to develop like any special rituals
or inside jokes to like build the chemistry?
No, it kind of came naturally.
She's already funny.
And we clicked immediately.
We had one meeting right before we started working
and that was it.
We knew we were gonna have a good time.
Yeah.
Was it ever any part,
I mean, because it was still like humorous as well to me, but was
it ever challenging?
Because this is like a real life thing that women go through every day.
Young women, children, you know.
Well, Tisha really went there in one of the scenes where something happens and then something
happens.
We can't give it away.
But it's not a lot of times that.
I was like, okay, I'll take it.
Okay. No, no, no, no. You know what a lot of times, I was like, okay, we can't give it away. But it's not a lot of times that.
I was like, okay, I'll tell you it!
Okay!
No, no, no, no, you know what?
A lot of times people just see me do comedy
and they forget that I come from a dramatic place.
So I'm able to do a lot of things in this.
Able to, you know, bring the drama,
and bring the comedy, and support her.
And just from my background, just as well as yours,
I was like, let's improv a little bit
before we do this scene, because the scene comes in hot.
So I was like, let's improv outside
before we go inside and bring it inside,
which really helped drive the scene,
because we were already in the middle
of something coming in.
So we just played, you know what I mean?
And it just- It was easy.
It was real easy.
Do y'all get stuck on the way movies are released now
or do y'all not mind, like as far as streamings,
big releases, whether it's Netflix or Box Office,
do y'all get stuck on that or not too much?
I don't.
You know, the work is the work.
Check is the check.
The check is the check.
It's still coming.
Yeah, I mean, it's something you've gotta work out.
You're in contract, it's like if it's not gonna be released
in a theater, you know, whatever. I mean, we're something you've got to work out. You're a contract. It's like if it's not going to be released in a theater,
you know, whatever.
I mean, it's not we're not doing Mission Impossible right now.
But you know what I mean?
It makes a difference when it's those kind of films.
I'm sure that's why they beef about that.
But, you know, we got to go with the time.
I mean, that's just what happens.
Yeah, you got to evolve.
You just have to evolve.
Even, you know, incorporating social media,
it's your own publishers.
You're your own publishers.
It's very true.
You have to do it. You have to evolve. And that's the one thing that I know, Even you know incorporating social media. It's your own publishers your own publicists. It's very true
You have to do it you have to evolve and that's the one thing that I know, you know getting being in this business for
four years now
You have to continue
No, but doing it for as long as I have,
you have to reinvent yourself and reinvent yourself
and you have to go with the times.
So you can't, if you fight it, that's your ass.
But you also timeless though.
Like when you see people like Kaisanat and Druski
at the BET Awards flipping out,
cause they saw you, that lets you know how timeless you are.
Yeah, thank you for that.
Thank you for that.
Girl, I've been with you since before.
Little shop of horrors.
No, I used to watch your posts.
I loved your posts.
Listen.
Gina did it first.
Period.
Always been a fan.
So I love even seeing you in this film as well.
Was it purpose though, right?
Was it on purpose that you all really didn't go into Amaya's
character, right?
So that was on purpose?
It was on purpose that we didn't call her Tran in the movie.
Yeah.
Yes, and she talks about it herself,
and it's better when she does,
because she loves the fact that she was just a person
in the film and not anything else.
So yeah, she purposefully did that, wrote it that way.
TJ Ali wrote it that way.
And I love that even in the film, like she had said,
my aunt has been with me since the beginning.
You know what I mean?
So it was good that it was a level of support and love there
and just bringing awareness to that.
You know what I mean?
Because that's absolutely relatable.
Yeah.
There's a lot of like sisterhood moments throughout the movie.
But in real life, I was watching or reading something about
Gabrielle Union at the Black. But in real life, I was reading something about
Gabrielle Union at the Black Film Festival in Florida.
She talked about how you saved her life
just because of your relationship.
And you saw her, you really saw her.
It wasn't even that.
It was more that when I first saw her coming
into the business, I knew she was going to be great.
And so in seeing that, I said, listen, Gab,
this business, it got a lot of ups and downs.
So let me pay for your first 10 therapy sessions.
Wow. Wow.
So that you can get yourself into a good place
and be in a safe space because it's ugly out there.
It's uglier than you think.
And I just wanted her to be,
I just wanted to support however I could
because I knew she was gonna be great.
And what was this, the 90s?
Early 2000s?
Early 2000s.
Wow.
And it was before she was even big.
She was making a name for herself.
She was out there.
She was not the Gabrielle Union that we know of today,
but she was still doing a lot of stuff.
And when I see somebody that is going to be in this business,
it's a lot, it can be a lot.
And y'all see the ups and downs,
y'all talk about it every single day.
I just love to support my sisters in this.
And I grew up like that with Tashina,
and that's how we are.
But what got you into that headspace? Who introduced you how we are. But what got you into that head space?
Who introduced you to therapy?
Yeah, we'll see.
What got you into that head space?
Who told you, you know what,
you should go to therapy because this business is hard?
Because that's a great thing to pass on.
Nobody told me that.
I had to figure that out and that was in the 90s.
I started figuring out, oh, you know what?
Sorry, let me take that back.
It was my acting coach, actually.
His name is Howard Fine. I started going to him at 18 years old. Oh was my acting coach, actually. His name is Howard Fine.
I started going to him at 18 years old.
Yeah, we love Howard.
So Howard was always like, listen, I'm not your therapist.
I think you have to always do two things.
You have to seek therapy because what we do
is not, it's not healthy to a certain extent.
Like most people, when you're crying
or when you're dealing with certain things,
you stay away from it,
but we embrace it and we use it for our job.
Right?
So he said, you have to do therapy
and you have to do charity work
because you have to get outside of yourself
and not look at, like, you know,
you get outside of yourself
and you're not the end all be all.
And there are things that are bigger than you.
I agree. So that's what he always instilled in me.
And so since 18 years old, I started going to that's amazing.
Because she talked about that, too, just like from you learning
how to decentralize herself to give to other people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. People don't just do that for no reason.
Like that's no, I want people to win.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I want people to win. I want us. Yeah. I want people to win.
I want us all to win.
You know?
And it may not be on, it may be on different levels, but you know, let's do it the most
healthy way we possibly can.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
No, I was just going to say, so how did that help you?
Because you know, you went through a divorce and if I read correctly, this says you had
$7 left in your name.
Is that true?
That's true.
Actually, no.
The story was I had $21 in my pocket
and a knife cost $7 and I wanted to pay for the knife
but it was Christmas and I had a choice
to try to get some extra toys for my kids
at the Rite Aid or something.
So how did that work that you had done early on
on yourself help you in that moment?
Well, I believe that I always had really good relationships.
And I forged really good relationships.
And the one thing that I held on to right there was what God gave me.
And what God gave me was my talent and my ability to reach people and to have good relationships.
It was the one thing nobody could take away.
And so with therapy, that's how I,
and really good friends and weeding out all the others,
I really, I'm here today and I'm really happy.
Wow.
You look happy.
You come and go and you're beautiful.
Are you back up now or did Melissa have to pay
for that Starbucks?
No, no, I believe it was her publicist that paid for my Starbucks today.
But we good now.
One of the publicists gave me a flower.
Y'all got great publicists.
Yeah.
My publicist brought you guys flowers.
That's my girl.
If you want to pay for my therapy, I'm open to that.
I will.
Don't play with me.
You ain't never working with me, you ain't no therapist.
Listen.
No more expensive now.
No more expensive now.
What's your problem?
I have a question for you though, because I know during that time that he was just talking
about with the divorce you got you were going through a lot of financial you just talked about
that right there was the bankruptcy that you guys finally closed I think that was like six months
right in your healing journey do things like that like closing the case and being able to move on
actually help you to move on or no because you still have to talk about it. It's a lifetime of stuff and I don't really understand how we went through the
bankruptcy honestly but um that I was kind of separated from it so I don't
really know how we got through it but it really is just taking yourself outside
of it and keep it moving forward. I just move forward.
I got kids, man.
I got two kids, one has ADHD,
the other one got autism, two separate issues,
and I just keep moving forward.
You still got a career, you still got other things
that you have to do.
Yes, yes.
You know, I can't look backwards.
I can't, so I just don't.
It has to be difficult too,
because since you're such a celebrity,
such a face on television,
people don't understand what you go through.
They be like, no, she got it.
I just seen her on TV last week.
Right, right, right, right.
No, she got it.
I just seen another replay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know you had to deal with that.
That had to be difficult.
Not really.
I don't really pay attention to the crowd noise.
I can't.
I can't afford it.
And the way that I look at life, it's like a football game.
Like whoever's on the field running with me
and got that ball with me or running the field with me,
I'm good. I don't pay attention to the cheerleaders.
Those are the fake friends.
I don't pay attention to the crowd noise
because they're there.
That's their job to boo and to cheer.
So I can't pay attention to any of it.
I have to just block it out and keep moving forward.
I love that.
This is my last question about the movie.
I know y'all gotta go.
No, no, no, it's all good.
Because y'all got press and stuff.
Yeah.
Look, how did y'all find out or decide what roles y'all were gonna take?
Like, how did you know, like, the tech roles for you and why, you know, like-
I felt sorry for Melissa with that text.
No, look.
Okay.
I mean, look, that was all that was left.
No, no, no.
T-shirt was already signed on.
Got it.
I feel like, was it like a year?
And then it went away and then came back?
Yeah, it went away, came back.
Then I think Wendy was busy and then she came back.
Because I was doing it because Wendy.
And once she came back, I was like,
okay, I'll sign on right now.
So that role was there.
So I signed on because Wendy, I knew,
we did like Miss Congeniality together in the 90s.
Then Tisha, and I was like,
okay, well I definitely wanna do it
because I wanna work with both of them.
So yeah, I wasn't like, oh, I wanna play a tech person
that has to say all this stuff that I can't remember,
but I thought I was interested in it because of that,
because I liked seeing a woman of color playing this,
like she's like a Steve Jobs, you know what I'm saying?
Like she invented software, and she's like, good at the computer, you know what I'm saying? She invented software and she's good at the computer.
You know what I mean?
Everything that I'm not.
So I just, I liked it.
But she was brilliant.
She really was.
She really executed it great.
Oh thank you.
Honestly.
I mean, I'm not gonna lie.
Sometimes I had them put my-
What you whispering for?
I know, right, right, I'm sorry.
I'm whispering for you.
Right, right, I'm on air.
Okay, but sometimes my lines had to be, cause I could not, it just wouldn't
stick.
It was just like cryptocurrency, Bitcoin.
It was a lot of words that I just had never used before.
I don't know anything about that stuff.
So I had to look it up and stuff like that.
But you know, it was hard to remember.
Yeah.
But it's still, you know, it's still the show is still rooted in the movie.
It's still rooted in story and heart and it has heart and comedy and everything.
So I like that you still get to learn and see that there are black women that are just as brilliant.
This is the taken but the female version of taken.
Yes.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
I gotta do that.
Now, Tisha, question for you, because you talk about story.
You open book.
You talked about your mommy makeover.
I did.
BT awards, what was your decision to open up about that?
Why?
It was the deal that I made with Cosmic Care.
I sat down with them and I was like,
I have to be honest with my stuff.
And really, let me tell you what it actually came up,
cause sometimes I just say my kids
and I needed a mommy makeover,
but I have sarcoidosis or was diagnosed with sarcoidosis,
which is a genetic lung disorder, right?
And so they put you on a lot of steroids.
And after I lost the weight in a healthy way,
it took a long time,
but it left me with a lot of extra meat down there.
So I was like, you know what?
It's time for a mommy makeover.
I got me a nice tummy tuck.
I got a lift and lift it.
I got some lip makeup.
Right, so that's why I, you know, and I'm an open book.
So I wanted to talk about it
because a mommy makeover isn't for everybody,
but it was for me at that moment.
And I wanted to feel good about myself.
And baby, that burgundy.
Kato Kato, that!
J-Bo, that!
I saw you with the shoes.
You was looking good, baby.
Yes, giving Marvel. You also said then too that you weren't dating right now because you just is still the same?
Yeah.
Because the mom and man go over, look, the friends is trying to stand next to you at the concert.
I like being by myself.
We got some young guys for you, some young boys for you.
I don't want hit.
Baby, you're a...
That's all that hit on me is 21 year olds anyway.
I don't want hit.
It's giving one waste.
Yeah, okay.
For me.
I'm good.
I don't want no ha. It's giving me one waist. Yeah, OK. For me.
I'm good.
I don't want no apps.
I love this feeling.
That's right.
Yes.
I don't have to talk.
No.
What you say?
I love the spirit.
Is there a timeline on that for me?
Like, is there like a-
Ain't no timeline.
Listen, if I need a situation shit,
but give me a situation shit.
Listen, Auntie, you know, she gonna do what she gonna do.
Yeah, but.
What do with the young boy?
They like to pull out cameras.
Oh, see that's that bullshit.
That's why I'm not saying.
That's why I'm not messing with them.
You gotta be careful just even talking to someone on the phone.
You don't know who's recording what.
And you know what?
If you don't want somebody to know something or hear something, just don say it you know you really have to be careful these days you just everybody
that's a new thing let me record whoever and make some money off of that later let me just let me
just put that in the library in the vault and i'm gonna bring it out 10 years later when you
ain't got no money you know what i'm saying it's just my me, she was like, you know, Tisha, you're not marriage material.
And I was like, oh my god!
No!
I'm so marriage material!
What?
What?
You gotta explain that.
No, she knows you better than us.
I'm telling you.
Listen, she said that because she was like, guys
just want to mess with Gina.
They don't want to, you know, right now, that's all they see.
They want to be with Gina.
They don't want to be with you. And I was like, oh, that's messed up. I don't believe that. Maybe the young boys, I can see the
young boys going down in court, you like, y'all, that's why I just hit Gina. Like, you know what I mean?
But that, I can't see nobody growing. You would know better than us. So, no, they do. Is that what,
is people appropriately talking about Gina? I don't know, because I, listen, when people flirt with me, I get,
I get nervous anyway. For real Because listen, let me tell you,
because I was in a 27 year relationship, marriage,
committed, so I don't know nothing about,
newfangled anything.

It was a good video.
She was like, she was like, she was like, she was like,

You were just dancing and enjoying your time,
but like you was, you was having a good time.
She was getting it.
Oh, no, that was doing house music.
Yeah, but she was going at the...
Jodi, thank you.
Yeah.
Jesus Christ, they got a good one.
Melissa, you too.
I know, everybody, they just think I'm Shelby in real,
they just, it won't go away.
It will go away.
But we love Shelby.
But we love Shelby.
I know, but they're scared, but they want it,
but they're scared, or they I'm going to be mean.
They don't approach you?
Oh God, all the time.
Yeah.
That's the first thing that comes out of there.
Oh, they're calling me that.
Shelby on the street, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
But whenever they meet me, they're like, oh my God, you're so nice.
You know what I mean?
They just expect me to be.
That feisty.
Yeah, no, they just can't separate it.
She's a great actress because that's what that means.
She's a great actress.
That's hard.
But look, speaking of that, Heather Byrne
said that she would be down for Miss Congeniality III.
Oh, yeah.
So would I.
I mean, that was one of the best experiences of my career.
And it was very early on.
And it just shows, like, Cassandra Bullock
is just the nicest person.
And the people I was working with, they were just all kind.
And you know, you don't really,
we were down there for like three months
and we were all young and we all got along
and it was such a nice experience and we had so much fun.
But I would totally wanna do a third one.
I mean, you know, if they come up with a story,
look, I'm ready.
I'm ready.
Yeah, it was fun.
I would love to do that.
We need that.
And is it true Tisha,
you just started watching Martin five years ago?
Crazy. Yes.
Because a lot of the millennials and the Gen Zs
that are just kind of getting to know it,
they quote shit in me.
I don't know what the fuck they talking about.
What you mean?
So okay, let me back up.
Like what?
No, but that was like in the 90s,
that was 30 something years ago.
But so that you have some like content.
Jesus Christ, that was 30 years ago. That was 30 years ago. That's crazy. But like. But so that you have some content. Jesus Christ, that was 30 years ago.
That was 30 years ago.
That's crazy.
But if so that you have content, like I said,
like me and Tashina, we grew up as Broadway kids,
and you're only as good as your last job.
So we don't, again, we don't look backwards.
And we're not in the present.
We're always looking at what's the next gig.
So it trained us not to watch our own work.
So I don't watch my own work.
My kids never watch my work unless somebody snuck it to them. That's why my youngest calls
me Gina. He don't call me mommy. He don't call me mommy. If he call me mommy, it's something
wrong. But that's another reason why I never watched the Martin show. But because people
kept quoting shit at me, like my friend, she kept saying, look at the white shoes, look at the white shoes.
I was like, what are you talking about?
She was like, that's for Martin.
Look at Jerome and look at the white shoes.
And I was like, that was an inside joke
that nobody was supposed to know
because Martin would never let us see his outfits
for Jerome or Shanae-Nae.
And so when he came through the door and ooh, ooh,
he was like, look at the white shoes.
He was telling me and Tashina
to look at the white shoes, not our characters.
But it became like this thing that we didn't know it was.
So because they kept quoting stuff at me,
I started watching it.
And it's funny.
How did you perfect your craft
when you didn't observe your work?
Oh, that's more like for football players,
basketball players, they do that. She said, said no don't play with me. I know
You kind of just I
We under how it find we have the uderhagen Stanislavski and all that yeah
So you never watch my wife and kids either? No, um, I
My kids don't like watching it cuz they say I yell at those kids like I yell at them.
Oh, it's triggering.
It's triggering.
Oh my God.
So they won't let me watch it.
So they're like, no, that's too much.
They look at it like this.
Oh man.
That's hilarious.
And I love what you and Melissa had with Operation Nazis,
but I really want to see you and Tashina
do some type of buddy comedy.
Oh man. You know what I'm saying? Because it's like, there's nobody representing for our age group. to see you and Tashina do some type of buddy comedy.
You know what I'm saying?
Because it's like, there's nobody representing
for our age group.
Things are happening.
