I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everybody. You know if you're going to lie about that, right?

Lauren came in. Hey, y'all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa, and this is another episode of the latest with Lauren LaRosa. This is your daily dig on all things, pop culture, entertainment news, and baby, all of the conversations that shake the room. Now, we have a conversation that we actually have already begin to have here on the podcast. And it's a Real Housewives of Atlanta conversation involving Kay Michelle and Portia Williams. If you guys miss that episode, it's only a few days old.

So make sure you go back and listen to that episode after, before, however you may choose, you listen to this episode as well. But the conversation continues. because Kay Michelle sat down for a very in-depth interview. And she was speaking to Nessa over at Hot 97. And she, in the interview, was having a conversation about everything that went down on the Real Housewives of Atlanta. And why do people think she is emotionally crazy?

Including, she says, you know, Kelly, right, who is from the Real Housewives of Atlanta told her, you're looking a little crazy. And why people think that, personally, me, think that she should not be doing reality TV anymore because the trauma is there and it is obvious. But in being neutral to the facts, Kay Michelle has been alleging that there is a plot to take her down by the ladies of her houses of Atlanta, specifically, Portia Williams. She alleges that Portia Williams is a part of this plot to bring in bad conversation and bad news about

Kay Michelle. And let's take a listen to the original moment from last weeks. This episode 7 of season 17 of Real Housewives of Atlanta when Kay Michelle ends the episode

bawling crying behind Portia Williams in an oyster conversation. Let's take a listen to that first. Then when I get to Carson, then okay will be crazy. I am heartbroken. I watch these women. who have dealt with things from gossip, tried to judge me. That vagina is clean.

This might be a little scent. Talk about a rumor that a disgruntled ex said eight years ago. I already know who you contact it, what blogs you call. To go read that and want to spread that, I think that is very disheartening and that shows the character of these women. The trauma that was caused by the world, rumor, it really hasn't gotten better. I can say, I'm here,

come here, like a lot of people. But I haven't, and I don't know when I will. I'm not going to let y'all keep playing in my face like I don't hear, like I don't see. Leave me beat.

Because it keeps building up, and when it gets to where a need to get to, I'm going to curse all of them the f*** out. Okay, so now, Portia and Kay Michelle, they've exchanged words online. It's been the whole thing. It's been going down.

We are coming up on a new episode this Sunday, May 24th. There's going to be, you know, season 17 has episode 8 that is going to be going down. But in preparation for that, I got into this full conversation. Now, first, Kay Michelle talks about the plot again. And what she alleges is going down between her and the other woman on Housewives, specifically she alleges Portia Williams. Let's take a listen. Shia, Fadra, and Drew, we're trying to take you down.

Yeah. What does that mean? What that means is if you know, you know, reality TV, yes. Everything has a plot and a plan. And when it comes to me, it would be very exciting to watch me crash out. It would be great ratings. Yeah.

You know, it would be great ratings. It would look good for you if you could even crash me out. Yes. And you know what I'm saying? It's just like playing basketball. You know, it is what it is. I think people take. TV as this, but it's a competitive sport.

Yes. And it really is. And this is it at its highest level for African-American females. Like, this is it at its highest level. A lot of money to be made, a lot of things. So when it came to this particular situation, I did not align as people would think I should align. And what do you mean this particular situation? Like, put me up on game with this.

This particular situation as far as storylines and everything. in this show. Now here's the thing. And I've said this multiple times. It's like if you're looking at this straight down the middle, it's like, you know, Housewives and these reality shows, there are always these drummed up storylines. And Kay Michelle has alleged on X, even when her and Portia Williams were going at it, that things were being produced behind the scenes, right?

I don't know if I believe that Portia would do something like that, just in the portion that I've, you know, met a few times. but you don't know. So we have to see how the season plays out, but I do think that this is going to be a really good season based off of everything that is happening right now. Now, Kay Michelle talks about, you know, showing up on the show and not being who people expected her to be

because of what they saw on Love and Hip Hop when she was there. And I will say the conversation around Kay Michelle right now is whether or not she's just doing this for a storyline because she comes from a show like Love and Hip Hop, where there's a lot of drummed-up storylines and a lot of fake drama. Let's take a listen. I did not do what people thought I was going to do. What did they think you were going to do?

Coming from love and hip-hop and watching my edits, you wouldn't know my heart. Like, you know, you wouldn't know. But people around me, that's why I've been able to make money in the business and do things because I've been, you know, they get to see, you know, the real me. That's right. So watching a love and hip-hop edit, you think she's just going to curse you out. You didn't see the two hours before she was there like. No, I don't want to curse you out.

Okay, that I will get you. So I feel like people thought I was going to come into the show with this energy of rah, rah, rah. No, I'm the chillest one. Like, I'm very like, like, I don't be in no dumb stuff. You know what I? That's not me. And I think they expected that. I think viewers and some of the ladies expected me to lean more towards.

them. You know, that would make them look good, you know, to come in around them and lean towards them and give them some. And when I didn't, when I said, you know, there's never, you know, a right time to do wrong. So when I came in and I decided to make friends with everyone, give it a genuine shot, you know, it's always, when girls get together, they always this and lean together. I'm standing by myself. And I mean, look, here's the thing.

I think Kay Michelle is a big star in her honor. Portia Williams and all of the other ladies acknowledge that. Portia literally is the one who ushered Kay Michelle onto the show, right? And that was a big part of it. It's like, this woman is a star. She brings so much to the show. I'm excited for her to be there, which is

why this whole conversation is just like, everybody's looking like, what the hell is going on right now? Because to everybody on the outside, we're like, wait, we thought, we thought the plot was you know K-Michel Portia Williams

gonna come up in this and be besties the bestest with the messes okay together like freaking frack wasn't going to say the chance against K. Michelle and Portia Williams that's what I thought at least

freaking frack for you guys who do not watch the show Portia Williams and Fradra from another season it bled into this season about them being super close and you know taking on the show

together but I do think that there is something to say to fans feeling like we thought we were going to get one thing from K Michelle and we're getting another. And she says that that thing is her being chill. But now I think the conversation has turned

because of this Portia Williams situation where fans are like, okay, it's like she's grown in her career and as a woman. She was super successful back then, but it's even bigger now. She just don't got time for the BS, right? That's what I'm hearing from her. But there are fans now who are having a conversation

about whether or not emotionally she's mature to the point where even being on something like a housewives make sense. An epic rock adventure with Iheart Radio and Shine Down.

So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers was...

This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, Hey Jonas, and then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas,

and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite.

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If you're watching the latest season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, you already know there's a lot to break down. Georgia accusing Kelly of sleeping with a merry man. They holding Kay Michelle back from fighting Drew. Pinky has financial issues. I like the bougie style of Housewives show. I think it looks like to be interesting.

On the podcast, Reality with the King, I, Carlos King, recap the biggest moments from your favorite reality shows, including the Real House Wise franchise, the drama, the alliances, and the T, everybody's talking about. As an executive producer in reality television, I'm not just watching it. I understand the game. As somebody who creates shows, I'll even say this. At the end of the day, when people are at home, they want entertainment. To hear this and more, listen to Reality with the King on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Kay Michelle said to herself, Housewives in this interview. Housewives is the show, yes, there's drama. Yes, it's reality TV, but these women are supposed to be, you know, the elevated version of reality TV. Like, yes, it's mess and yes, she would all be yes, but it's elevated. These women, you know, are in their jewels and in their glinda palms and in their rose voices, but they still get to the shifts when they need to. A very different situation in what she experienced on love and hip-hop. And now I think because of this situation, fans are trying to try to be.

to determine if that is the case, is Kay Michelle at the emotional stability standpoint where something like that would even make sense for her, even if it was going that way? And she alleges that it's not. She alleges that these women are not, although very successful, that it's not elevated and that it is just about a bunch of the drama. And I think for me, being a real housewives fan, especially Atlanta, it's like, yeah, there's drama, yeah, there's storyline, yeah, there's all these things. but there is a sisterhood amongst these women.

And, you know, Kay Michelle admits that to a certain extent. I think the biggest thing, though, was when Kay Michelle went deeper into the conversation about the allegations that her vagina stunk on this interview and how it, like, what real life implications she was saying that it had, it put things into perspective for me about, even if this isn't the case, even if Portia isn't guilty of any of these things that she's a legend. And nothing too is it's just like as a woman Being involved in that type of conversation around another woman It's just foul

I just I don't know I don't see I don't got Porsche for doing that But anyway, Kay Michelle back to what she was saying So Kay Michelle is alleging that her son was actually being teased in school behind this I take a listen She was weighing heavy And yeah and I had told him I was like yeah you affected my child Like he was getting picked on Yeah

I don't know that hurts That's painful. But he's like, you know, our back and forth on Instagram, it was very mature. And he was like, please tell your son, I apologize. You know? Yeah. So to get on a show. Yeah.

Girl. And I'll be crying because I be mad. I'm like sad hearing this right now, especially hearing that your son was picked on for that. And I don't know, maybe it's because I'm a mom and just hearing that. It just like, it just that rattles me in a different. way. It was super picked on. And for it to be so stupid,

you know, so stupid and so small, your child have nothing to do with nothing. At all. So the kids to be like, tell you, mama, da-da-da-da. I was more dealing with him. Yeah. You know, in bed,

it's a stupid, petty thing, but when your child is going through it, it's different. I didn't, I didn't So if you're on a show, you're trying to find something about me to make me react, and you see my reaction, and you say, I'm going to use that as, you know, to poker and make her talk, because you're self-producing, and you want to get ratings. You think that you're the producer. I'm not, you're not going to produce me. You're not going to produce me.

You're not going to yo-yo me And people are like Okay, so emotional I have the biggest heart Yeah You know And I get me and I crash out

But no one ever talks about What it takes to get to the crash out So look At the end of the day What we're learning here in real time Is that reality TV Really does have a Very real implication on people

In their lives Once the cameras go down Kay Michelle is emotional because she's feeling something in real life Her son has had to, you know, according to her deal with things in real life There's some real life behind us I think that there is a grace to a certain extent that we can extend her in a situation For being triggered but at the same time I don't know about y'all

And this is whether you've been watching the show or not Just from my reporting that's why I'm like go back and listen to my episode where I talked about this Just in my reporting, the biggest thing here is that K. Michelle never said this that we've seen so far directly to Porsche on the season. Portia's still on the season, not in real life because they didn't argue it on Twitter, has no idea that K. Michelle also has an issue with her. Nor will K. Michelle point out who told her what. I want to see the receipts. I want to know exactly where this is coming from because for K. Michelle to believe it and to act on it, to have emotional. and, you know, put the allegations out there. It has to be from someone that she can trust. So they end the interview with having a conversation about, you know, just where things are now, where things are landing or ending at this current moment with Portia and Kim, Michelle.

Here's what she had to say. Hey, you can't say you bringing me into a friend group and you round here, you're banging on by last known X and telling him. And he's telling me, and you sit here like you're my friend. and I'm supposed to sit up here and be all open to be brought it to this friend group and I'm your friend I'm trying to be your friend you have a you know

what I don't like to do is go on people what people's reputation are because I know I've had a reputation and that's not it so I try to be fair but you also have to be aware your actions are not that of a girl's girl they've never been and if you said and look at the reason

telling me how much you love me and I'm knowing everything. Now, to be for, did she know were you guys friends at that time? Or is it like... No, no, it's not about that. I got a whole husband. Right. It ain't that. It's the fact that you'll see because I made me getting a little bit of head.

Right. Well, we'll see. It's the fact that you were hiding something that you didn't have to hide. Ah. On purpose, when I would have sang it y'all in. What do you mean? Like, what you mean? Like, what you

sitting up here in my face talking to me to my ex and he's telling me. Oh. And the whole time we filming, I'm sitting out like this. Wow. I'm sitting there quiet. I'm not no fool. Like, it's never one of me. Do we see the rest of this on the season?

You got to watch. It's going to be a good one. It's going to be a good one. I'm saying one thing it's going to be. It's going to be a real one when it come to me. I'm sorry. I'm not coming in there falling in line. I'm not coming there. If you fake, you fake.

Oh. If you're loving, you're loving. If you had a bad day, have a bad day. Have you and Portia talked since? Now, mind you, we're just talking a few days later. Yeah. Totally okay if you guys haven't. Just curious where things are now.

We have not, you know, I feel like it was in a calm place, but after the Carlos King interview. Yeah, sure. I feel like that's what makes. me be like, girl, you're tricky. You're a little tricky one. You're a little tricky one. You like to lead the narrative.

You're a little manipulative. You ain't going to manipulate me. Baby, listen, when I tell y'all, I did not foresee this relationship going like this at all on Real Housewives of Elena. I had no frigging idea it would be like this. None. None.

I am, my flabbers are gassed. Like, I knew that all. all of the girls at some point get into it a bit. But for her to be like F, Portia, that is such a dynamic change from the first time we saw Kay Michelle walk on screen from Royal House of Atlanta and cry into Portia's arms

about the need for sisterhood in reality TV and her wanting to have that disco around in reality TV. That's why I thought it was going to be so good. I literally said on the breakfast club, like, I can't wait to see Kate Michelle on the show. Not only is she going to bring it in a reality TV world with all of the, like, you know, things going to get a little petty here and there. That's the show.

That's how you do it, right, on these type of shows. But I just think, she, I thought that she'd done reality TV enough where the only conversation around her we was going to have was like her in like a more OG type of space. Now, there are people out there. You know, I saw a live that Carlos King did. And you know, Carlos King, reality with the king, who's also on the Black Effect podcast network here where you guys listen to me, the people do believe that a part of the issue is that,

is that Camiselle isn't the OG in this cast, because Portia Williams is the face of the franchise. I don't know, man, this TV thing, this world, it's insane. And in with Housewives, you just never know what's real, and you never know what's not real. So as the season continues, we'll be talking about it more here because, like, there's so many questions we can't answer right now.

And we need answers. We need them receipts, Camichelle. The reunion is going to be a hell of a reunion. I'm Cynthia Lois. And I'm Josie Dye. And we're done pretending we have it all figured out. Each week we laugh, cry, and talk our way through life's messiest moments. The things you think about but would never say out loud. The questions you are always too shy to ask.

Relationships, regrets, awkward moments, and the stuff no one warns you about. It's honest, it's funny, and sometimes it gets a little uncomfortable. But that's kind of the point. This is Cynthia and Josie's unmentionables. Listen on the free IHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news.

So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. We were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this.

where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Speaking of television TV, the Breakfast Club is changing the way people consume their content on their televisions because y'all, we are going to be live on Netflix on June 1st.

Y'all may want to pay attention to this one because it's the biggest I told you so yet. Netflix made its first daily live show. and it's the Breakfast Club. Charlemagne, DJ Envy, just hilarious. A radio show on Netflix. Let that one sink in. For all you radio is dead people,

one of the biggest streaming companies on Earth just said, daily live conversation still matters. And peep the chess move. Netflix isn't just airing the radio feed. They're stripping commercials and replacing them with exclusive behind-the-scenes content. bonus segments, extended combos. That means that they understand what traditional media has missed.

People don't just want content. They want access in real time. Community, consistency, personality. And that's exactly what we've been saying right here for the last two years, down to the formula. The algorithm replaced the signal, but the format still works. appointment listening, live energy, culture in real time. That's the radio DNA with streaming suit on. And if Netflix is moving into live podcast radio hybrid territory,

that just tells you where media is heading, less polished, more personality, more direct audience relationships, a different delivery system, but same human behavior. That's why the Breakfast Club has survived and thrived. and why live conversation still wins. Story development. Starting June 1st will be live on Netflix Monday through Friday. You can tune in and watch us live on Netflix. And you'll get the latest with Lauren the Rosa over there.

And then, of course, you guys know I will still be doing everything here on the podcast. Because the podcast is where we get to really spend our time together. Like, I feel like, you know, when y'all are talking or listening to me over on the Breakfast Club, it's like, it's real cute. That's happy hour. Right. Like that's like, all right, we have you out. We're having drinks. We only here for a little bit of time.

A little bit of time, not a long time. But when y'all get me on the podcast, baby, oh, we out to dinner. We spend the money like drug dealers at dinner. We're having a good time. We're more in depth over here. It's just different. But you'll get to watch this on Netflix live. You'll also, so all the segments will be there live, everything that we normally do on

the breakfast club. But then you will also get a chance to see behind the scenes. You will get a chance to see, you know, honestly like we're calling it the war room or like the news desk but when i'm pitching stories to you know just mb and charlemagne to cover when we're talking through things and talking through topics behind the scenes trying to i'm trying to figure out you know as a producer what is the point of view on this why how are we talking about this what videos and audios are we using y'all are going to get to see all of that and i am so excited it's so crazy because i didn't start off this episode checking in behind

the scenes of the grind, but we'll do it right here. Back on the ground. I've been thinking a lot about the fact that, like, God really does deliver and really does prepare a table for you in front of the world. Man, I remember my first day on the breakfast club. I said,

yes. Yes, I was a senior news producer, which, you know, that encompassed me being on air, you know, TMZ live, TMZ on TV, primetime, daytime show, but also, just producing the news that is exclusive and breaking from TMZ. Work with a very intimate team of people who are really good at what they do.

I was there for seven, a little over seven years and recently decided, yeah, I got some skin in this, I've learned a few things and recently decided that, you know, it was just time for me to leave. I think, you know, I have a company called BrowngarGar grinding. It's a broadcast media production company.

We have clients on the marketing side. We are in the show development space. But more importantly, For me, my next goal on my list is like, I want a show. I want people to learn me and get to know me, you know, my opinions. And, you know, I was working on that with TMZ, but I started feeling like, if I do this here, when I leave, I can't take it. They're not going to let me own it. You know, it wasn't structured the way that I wanted it to be and how I felt like I needed it to be for me to really just grow as a brand and as a company.

So I had a conversation internally. And from that conversation, I just decided that if right now I don't take this leap of faith on my self and launch Bronco Grinding with Lauren La Rosa, the podcast, which will be dropping next week. I'm always being sitting here and trying to figure out what would have happened if I did it at this time in my life where, you know, I have the relationships and, you know, people care a little bit. So I decided to step away. And I said that because I wanted to met infested, I wanted the world to know at that time, those couple days I had the breakfast club was literally all I had. I didn't know what was going to happen next. But I'm like, if someone knows what I want to do, if I put it out there into the world and

in the universe, it's no way God won't bring that back. And since then, I've been, so blessed to be able to do what I do here with you guys on the podcast, the latest with Lauren Rosa, and now becoming, you know, a part of Netflix's first live daily show. Oh my God, y'all. 2026 has already, like, uh, the wig is snatched. Like, God really does do his thing. Check us out June 1st.

June 1st, Monday, June 1st. will be live on Netflix. I'll be coming literally right off the back end of the Roots picnic. So you guys will be hearing my coverage there as well, too. It's, man, as difficult as things get sometimes, as much as you guys hear me vent on here when I'm checking it behind the scenes of the grind because I'm figuring out so much in real time. And for the first time, and I'm tired and I'm drained sometimes, man.

Like, I just be thinking, God, that I'm learning, number one, to work smarter, not harder. And number two, that I'm doing. around people that I can learn from, even when it's tough, because it gets tough, baby. Do y'all going to see in real time when we're doing them, you know, in real life streams? Them critiques ain't nothing nice sometimes, all right? But you take it and you learn from it. And I'm just grateful to God that, like, I've continuously been blessed enough to be putting spaces

while I'm learning and I'm growing. And I, y'all, I'm supposed to be live on Netflix. Their first daily live show ever, when I decided to walk away from my job at TMZ, for no reason, honestly more than I just felt like it was time and my family needed me, but nothing was wrong at that moment at work. Not wrong enough to like walk away from a paycheck, right? Like there were things that I did not like, things that I wanted to happen that weren't happening.

Offers that came my way that I'm like, oh, y'all aren't really planning with me in here. But at the end of the day, it was a paycheck and I was still able to learn, right? And I walked away from that and I'm like, I was so scared. I'm like, man, I'm going to be out of sight and out of mind. I don't know what that's going to be. going to do for my career, but I trust you. And I know this is bigger to me. I know my family needs me right now.
