Friends and housewive friends because.

Even watch Housewise, I know she's like I have never episode of Housewives.

I don't like it.

I don't believe that you see the episode of.

Real Housewives and seeing clips on Instagram. Okay, but I have never watched it. But I always just love Meini, like she's our honey. Like I just love her.

No wait, we're just get a ghetto.

We're a little ratchet that you're.

You have voice person.

And you've got a big personality. This morning, Yes, you made all these coins, all these.

I don't ever I made coins that thing.

Where's the money?

Crazy?

No?

But Sierra. I always love Sierra. I will watch her promote her businesses online all the time. I said, this girl is really somebody.

I did want and I.

Loved her way back in the day when you were married to the other guy, because you know, she loves to get married Jesus the guy, and and I was married.

I was married to my first husband who I was with for two years, and I was just watching that I liked.

And I love that she was a single mom. I was a single mom also by myself, so I love that about her. And you a hustler.

And then when we actually got well how we met is we kept bumping into each other and we were by ourselves. Every time we see each other at the bar, we see each other at the Nelson. We just kept seeing each other and we was always by by ourselves, and we was like, damn we really, I said, I be by myself. She was like me too, and we were just like, let's be friends. And when we actually became and honestly us growing to be friends, it was kind of just like it was a little by little because we both the same. We don't like to do too much.

I think people don't realize that. They like they said, you have I have a big person. They don't understand what I'm kind of by myself, by yourself. I really like a loner.

I do a lot of travel.

I traveled by myself.

I couldn't.

I go to restaurant. People. Do I have support help? But I mean I'm really by myself and I have a security meet me on one end or something, but I'll get on the plane and then they don't meet me. But I travel by myself. I shop by myself. I feel like me shopping by myself. When somebody's with me, they hold me down, like I feel like I could do it quicker. I get in my car. I just do things by myself, and I'm my own best friend. I really like being by myself. Yeah, and it's just too confrontational sometimes.

So how you so how you end up doing the podcast with you on your home? Girl like being by yourself so much.

Because we were running into each other being by ourselves. She would be by herself. I'll be by myself. We both are kind of love of girls. We kind of love to be like, you know, more with our guide than I love my girls. I'm a girls girl, but I like being with my guy. I like being by myself. I'm okay with all of those.

A lot of people don't know how much we have, Like we have so much in coming it's almost crazy. Sometimes when I'm talking to her, I feel like I'm talking to myself, like down to the family, down to how like we're real picky about our gland like we look we glam girls. We shave every day like we love we still a snowble we like.

We just like that.

Much every other day. Whatever we like to grooming, we like. We like to every day about we talk about it. We love love, we love relationships, we love perfume. We like doing the same ship we love. We'll dress up and just go to the bar and go eat and go home.

Like my favorite thing to do is get your restaurant. I don't see you being with people. I see you being a loaner kind of like are you sort of kind of a loaner?

I'm a cancer at home, like being at home with my wife, my kids. I don't Yeah, I don't like going out like I shave. I don't shave every day.

You know we do. We're gonna get you.

Married, Yeah, I always know. I'm saying. I don't. I be by myself, like I don't hang with a lot of women. That makes but I be with my men, like.

My men, especially this one.

But you know what I wasn't. I wasn't as clingy with my in my other relationship.

You wasn't.

No, I was not.

I don't know.

I didn't hang with them like that. Like I was almost never with them, but with was they it's bad. Like I'd be like, please come with me, come with me, come with me.

So how long y'all back together?

Because they had been fast, He's, well, he's my old best friend. It's close friends brother, so we grew up together. We've been on each other since we was kids, and actually throughout all my relationships.

He was on you for a long time.

He was just waiting. He was just waiting for that slip.

Me and Shooter had a conversation. Yeah, a couple, Yeah, come on, and so he mentioned he was like, do you remember that you you you talked about Day like you you told me about him and I was like seventeen. Then he was like, you remember Day was bothering you when you was in a relationship with me? And I was like, yeah, so a relationship I was in.

He was, how does he slide back in?

Was it? Hey?

Big head on?

DM?

I did.

I was cussing my ex out and he kind of hate be kidding me, and then I'm like, boy, but it's ours. This is my friend's brother. So it's like, okay, base all you like I know? Yeah, yeah, No, I was not.

I'm not a cheater.

And you also had a health scare after a tattoo. Yeah, I did everything okay with that.

I think I wish I could have seen it because it's from the bottom of my from the bottom of my legs to all the way to the top, and something that should have took me a year, I did it in a day and my body just after the numb and cream wore off. Shout out to my sonumb because it works really good. It allowed me to get twenty hours worth of tattooing and I didn't feel nothing, but when my when my hours, yep, but when my girl loved it. But when but when my body like woke up, it was just like, no, this is not right. What are you doing? And then that's you know, when it shot back at me. But you're okay for sure? Now I'm okay, Yeah got it. Now, I am kind of scared to get some tattoos.

You just don't do a twenty hour session.

That's was I mean, we stopped a little bit.

But yeah, okay, Nina, you got to show about love coming right, I show about love? Yeah, No, I did, It's over. We've already shot it and everything when's it come up? I don't know today.

So is it like you're trying to find a man like for the love of Nini?

Oh no, no, no, not trying to find the love of nik Now I'm actually hooking other people up. Okay, but yeah, I would like to get hooked up.

What's you know? I thought you had a booth. I thought you had some African man.

Why is it always some African man?

I don't don't.

Stop. Mini loved her African, she loved her food.

I love my goals. That's the restaurant.

Okay, right, well, I want nobody.

African food to just put to.

I love African ipet married like that's gonna be.

She was Fuddy.

That was all.

He was about to send the suits suits a bunch of hours. Now, everybody, let me ask you.

Okay?

So who is that some one who just got u engaged.

To Dwight Howard? Oh yeah, she worked on hip hop? Yeah, she on there, she on there?

Yeah, just watch the doing the podcast. So when y'all think about that mass this this podcast.

With Homegirl and Homegirl. I mean me is here.

Or are you talking about the other people? I'm talking about about the you.

Know you said about him her relationship?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are they in Atlanta? Yes, they are there. They're there and they're engaged.

Love is love, you know love.

I mean, maybe she's going to be the start to something. Okay, o the world?

You know, so, what can we expecting me and my homegirl, because it seemed like y'all talk about a lot in private, ya ain't somebody.

What can we expect? You know? So from our podcast. One of the things that Sierr and I kind of pride ourselves on is being just really really very bong and and talking about any and everything. So we don't want to be one of those podcasts where you're just interviewing people all the time. We want to talk about everything from pop culture to love, relationship, politics, nothing's off limits. We'd love to do some interviews, but we don't want that to just be our focus just trying to get people to interview. We want to do everything and talk about any and everything. And I think one of the things one of the reasons why people will really love our podcast is because we just keep it real. We just be ourselves and just talk about whatever. I'm an open book. You guys literally can ask me anything.

Now.

Whether I ask it or not, that's another story. But I am truly an open book. I can talk about anything. We talk about plastic surgery because so many people accuse us of having plastic surgery. We talk about any and everything. Love sex.

With you, about that a lot lately.

Even talk to me a lot about plastic surgery. And filter. Yeah, filter, I've had so I get this all the time. I am a walking filter, and I really understand one and two. I believe everybody that talks about plastic surgery.

They could have one they wanted.

I've never had a fucking facelift. I've never had a knife to you sitting here looking at me, aren't you okay? When you have a face like you killed? You know that kind of stuff. I've had my boobs done, I've had life osuction. I do think feelers and tux feelers talk like why not? Yeah, I mean I have the money to do it. I'm in the public eye. I want to look great, so why not do it? My man or the man I've dated, haven't had a problem said, you're not with this on African man. First of all, I am not a woman that I was with an American man for twenty five years. Okay, so I happen to have dated an African guy. He's the first African guy I ever dated before. I do like Africans, they do.

I do myself so crazy.

African man. But he's the first African guy I've ever dated, ever been in a relationship with. I love their culture. I do like them. They tend to day women a lot larger than I am. You know, with all of these stings. You know you said they don't like women with surgery, Well they date women with huge butts and stuff like that. And I don't have a huge azz and all of that. But it's far Oh yeah, no, no, I got a nice ass. Now we're gonna make sure that now. Okay, But as far as surgery is concerned, yes, if I need anything, I will one hundred percent go and get it. Have you always felt like I've always we just talked about groomy. I really believe in groomy looking nice. I'm not one of those girls who's gonna sit around my house and look crazy like I just don't think whether my guy said's okay. I just don't think that he really believes that. In the back, I always thought, yeah, I'm gonna be flying now all the time. You could count on that. I don't believe that guys love for you to sit at home and look like a maid. I don't think that it may be okay for a day or two, but after that, go and clean up your eye luge, go get a facial. You gotta look good for these guys. And I'm not doing it for them, honestly, I'm doing it for myself. But I do like for my guy to see me looking nice, and I like my guy to look nice too. I like them to be well groomed. I like them to smell really good. Like all those things are important to me.

Is it hard to find a man being Meani Leaks?

It's hard to find Like a lot of guys, I'm friends with them, like I'm like, I like, I'm like like, I like guys even to be my friend. Even though I like girls, I really like dude and so a lot of guys I'm cool with, so I'm not attracted to them sexually. So it does take a special guy, and that guy has to have a lot of things.

Is it hard to find somebody who's emotionally available?

Yes, men are not emotionally available, and that's another problem. Something happened to Yeah, but I like a guy who has his own I like a guy who is very well groomed. I like a guy with personality, like a guy who likes to laugh and travel and all of those things. But I also want somebody that can lift me up and that can pour into me and I can pour into them. I love a guy that wants to communicate and talk and all of those things. So I have my own stuff. So you have to coming with a lot. Yeah, you can find a man in every five seconds.

Like I can't do this, but no, let's and let's stop because she's been wait but no, but but listen, but listen to this. Listen to this. First of all, the second one only lasts like six months. And I was, I was, and you can't.

I'm not going to discount we weren't together. That wasn't real. Yes I do.

I mean, I'm a love girl.

I love love.

But I will say, just because I've openly had these relationships, I.

Can count on one and one more hand how many guys, I ever, how many? How many?

How many girls could actually say that they did that, like for real, just being honestly.

Our our.

Yeah, because and it's like because, oh, because I lived my life out loud. I'm on teeth on television. Oh you you go to man, No, I don't. I've had sex with less than I know a billion girls that elf way more than me.

Guys.

You know what I'm saying, judging me. I'm a lover of girls.

I am a girl.

You have six guys and three of them married you. That's actually fantastic.

That's why I said.

And honestly and I and I am an open book. I talk about everything. Just you know that I don't have nothing. I talk about my lips, I talk about my butt shots. I talk about I'm an open book because I always say that my testimony could save somebody. Yeah, so it's okay, I did, but I want people.

And I'm saying, no, I'm not.

I'm not offended about that because that's my life and that's my truth. I'm never offended. But what I am offended by because it's just like the narrative I go from I'm with men at the man at the man.

That's not true.

But I don't do the world though they'll do that to me.

I don't feel that way. You can. You really are like guys like.

You you get a man.

Yeah, the guys me ask you a question, if your husband loves you the way you are, would you still want to do whatever?

But more butt shot to because he loves you how you are. So he's like, don't do nothing more.

I did that, I did well. I love my lips.

I do that.

I did that for me. Everything I did, I did for me. I don't care what my husbands said.

I did that for me.

Yeah, because I was married three times, but I did that for me. But now I would. When I got my butt shots, I was like seventeen, eighteen years old, I would love to get them taken out. I talk about it. I am advocate telling younger I'm off home. When I was sixteen, I ain't seen my mom house and I was sixteen years old.

I'm just curious.

Ye last she wasn't at my last wedding. Me and my mom has that's my girl. My mom is an amazing woman. She's always been a hustler. I watch her in and out of jail. My whole life, trying to take care of me, stealing whatever she got to do to take care of her girls. She love her girls. But it's just you know, family sometimes because the last we just got into it. Remember the whole shit that happened with the sisters.

On the Instagram.

Oh yeah, I just decided to fix my relationship with my mom because that's my mom. You only get one. But my sisters, they they're not dead to me. I'm just you know, you're just taking a step taking a step back like a big ass step bag.

Wh they always got the hand out.

No not.

I mean, well, I have done a lot for my family, but I just feel like it's some type of jealousy in it. That's just how I genuinely feel. I can't help that this is the life that God shall for me. And honestly, like I fought my I fought hard to get here, Like I went through a lot, you get what I'm saying. So everything that I'm doing in life, it's all Guy's grace. I came a long way. So it's like people be jealous that what they see, but they don't even know what you went through and what it took for you to get to this point.

Oh, I know when you're in the public eye, and that's not for me.

Nini have been coming because she helped me with that. We've been about our family stuff all the time.

Together, Nina, You and the public gye crazy. Everybody asked the same question all the time.

A million and one bring her back please? And Real Housewives? Would you come back? Did you make up? When Andy co?

When is that a possibility of y'all in meetings, conversations starts anything.

Well, we're not in meetings. We did settle our dispute with each other. I don't know if I go back to Housewives, I don't know what that looks like for me, but I won't say never. If they got to check, that's got zeros. They roast, they wrote zeros, they wrote on the end. You know I might be back. I don't know. I don't know.

When you say set of their dispute was a financial settlement.

I can't say. But we did settle everything.

You Andy cool? Now y'all speaking?

No, No, I haven't spoken to him. No, but I'm not again speaking to him. But I haven't spoken to him.

It'd be a no brainer. I mean, I know, you get this all the time, but it's kind of ridiculous that they haven't.

I don't know, you know, I do miss the trips, I do miss the check I don't miss the arguments. And I felt like if I was there, they would have to put a certain girls around, like all of those girls that are there, and now I don't even know who they are. Yeah, we don't even did so Keny and I have been texting anyway, Like when she went through this whole thing, whatever happened with her exiting the show, we text a few times. I was in London celebrating my birthday. She was there. We text, we were gonna try to have tea, but we couldn't, and just so happened. We bumped into each other in the airport and so we're cool. I'm cool with all of those girls. I don't have an issue. You know, when you're on the show, the show kind of pitch you up against each other. But I don't have an issue with any of the girls. No one, not anybody.

Did you say anything because I know she was praising your looks, but this she also said you need to lay off the field.

No, we talked in the airport. First of all, I told her that. They said, I think her and Candy were saying, let's give Ninny you know, her props or or something like you don't give people their props and then throw shade trees, honey. And then she said what I was talking about the filter, But honey, you use filters too. I don't know anybody that's posting their pictures without a filter. Most women are posting their pictures with a filter, and they're cleaning up their picture. Now, if you look absolutely different in person, they your picture on Instagram. Now that's another story when you say, that's a different story, but that's not what's happening over here. I use a filter, and I am the filter.

Okay, exactly, Okay, okay, Kenya.

Okay, because these girls need to use filters too. Yeah, I see them in the airport. I see girls on Instagram. They look great on Instagram. You see them in person, you be like, this is.

The same person.

How did ken you look at the.

Well?

You know, you know, I don't.

I just keep it really telling, like, you know, I'm never afraid of any of those girls. She looked okay. She wasn't looking her best, yeah, but she looked okay. She could have used the hairdo and a filter.

But you know what I like about at least I haven't seen you publicly clap back at anybody.

I've seen people say thinking about you, and I haven't heard you.

I didn't say anything. You know why, because I'm grown now.

You know.

I may have been a little bit more immature then, but now this stuff just really don't bother me. It really doesn't for somebody to talk about plastic sirts like cut it out. All these girls got fake asses and fake t This don't come over here with that bas All these girls got fakes. So so you're gonna talk to me about fake like that's crazy. Everybody's wearing wigs and weaves and extensions like cut it out. Like I'm not doing anything that no one else is in doing. I'm not walking around with a big ass that look absolutely bananas. I don't even have that much ass.

Have you spoke to Peter Thomas with all the stuff that's going on.

I haven't spoken to Peter, but I see Peter often. We don't live that far from each other, but I haven't spoken to him. I will speak to him. I will speak to Peter because me and Peter go way back. And I don't have a problem with Peter, and I really do hate that this is happening to him. So, yeah, Peter is my brother. I love Peter.

Do you reach out to people like when you see like porschea going through a divorce or anything.

Yes. So when Porsche was going through her divorce, you know, she was married to Simon. Simon I was dating Yannie. They're both African guys. They hung out together, we hung out, we double dated and all those things. And I was talking to her during that time and I was doing this show called The Upshaws, and she kind of was like she didn't want to do the Upshaws with me. She didn't tell me that. He told the production crew, and the production told us that, you know that. I don't believe it's the truth. It's the truth. She did that. Nothing happened. She did that. She said that, that's the truth. I did it. They brought in Cynthia Bailey the next day and Cynthia shot the scene with me. It was supposed to be portion and I I did not know that, and I don't think Porsche knew that until we arrived to set that we were both going to be shooting the scene together and set. Yeah, she was on set the day before. She had gone in to do her fittings and things, and I going in the next day to do my fitting. And the following day we were going to shoot the scene and Porscha didn't show up and they went scrambling and they ended up flying Cynthia Bailey in and she did it. But Portia did do that. That's honest, true. It doesn't really matter to me. I haven't spoken to her since I don't have I don't know, it's been months. The show just aired like yesterday or the day before.

Yes, a personal issue and I don't have a book with her in her life.

Like no, I don't think so. But listen, I don't care.

Why would they even tell you that.

To tell you that, Yeah, because they were in a frenzy and we weren't shooting, and my manager did some digging and asked somebody that was on set and they told us what happened. But listen, I'm still not mad. I really don't care. Uh, it's not that serious to me. You can text her right now, so can I. In fact, I have the text messages because I did text her when it happened, and I told her, and so I did text her.

Wow.

But it doesn't matter. Listen, if you don't want to work with somebody, that's fine with me. You don't have to work with me. I think that's bad business on your behalf to show up somewhere and be like, you know what, I don't want to work with Charlemagne today.

Happens all the time, every day.

I'm not even mad about that stuff. It just is not that serious to me. Some stuff is so petty. These girls really do think that they're bigger stars than they really are. So it's really okay with me.

There you go.

I'm not honestly, I'm not. I promise you that I'm so an adult now. I really that's why you haven't heard me clap back at somebody, because so many people are like, I know, need me gonna come back and say something.

No, I'm not sitting waiting.

Just when I'm being asked a question. Do not get mad at my response. Okay, I'm not gonna clap back at you. I just don't have the time for it. Really, I don't, and I don't want any confrontation. I really don't. I don't want any confrontation.

Do people coming to you doing your own reality.

All the time? People talk to me about doing for so long, people ask me to do a podcast, and I never did anything. So I think it's all our timing. See her and I clicked, Uh, this is a great time for the both of us to do it. So here we are doing it. Grandma, now right, I was a glandma already. And and my youngest son, Brent just had a baby girl. He had a lot of health challenges over the last couple of years and he had a heart transplant and out of all of this, he has a little daughter we love, and she will be two months old. She's not even too much so yet two months old. Was on the sixteen well there was. She just turned to this pretty little girl. So we have a little girl.

How long do you think it's gonna last.

Between Sierra, Well, we hope it lasts for a long time. Like we've been very We communicate really well together. You know, I don't want to be in a business relationship where I can't speak my opinion and just say how I feel. So I see her and I just had a conversation where I'm telling her how I feel and when she clapped back at me she thought we were on Love and Hip Hop it was but okay god, but yeah, But anyway, I hope it lasts forever. I don't want to get into business and get right out of business. But you know, there are so many podcasts out here, so we want to try to bring something different. Yeah.

I honestly see it growing bigger than just a podcast.

Yeah.

I think it's gonna be like a movement.

Well, you definitely can't teach us about entrepreneurship.

That's I'm like, podcast, it's just the beginning. Yeah, this thing's gonna go bigger than that.

And reality show Yeah right, so many in my own girls so relatable, and I feel like the we're gonna be.

Because Love and Hip Hoop the housewise, it's like they keep us apart.

You know what I'm saying.

She thinks that Housewives of Bougie and Oh Honey and Love and Hip Hop, I think the same.

That's how I look at it.

You know, look, I mean just keeping it really want I want to have both you all, because you know, I saw Marlowe and she made some comments on Tiffany Cross's podcast when she said how people judge you for life after you do reality TV.

Oh that's true, that's true.

True, it's bad.

Yeah, they won't even they they won't buy, they treat you away that they won't even do other businesses just because of reality TV.

Yeah, people have a perception of you, you know, like you guys were in here when I first walked in here. You guys were treating me real fucked up, trying to say that I'm loud. I'm not loud. My voice is very ten We've been watching you.

For over ten years. You guys are judging you right now. Cut it out.

You guys are judging me. You guys have this you know this thought about me because you saw me on Housewives. Actually, I am soft, I am a girls, I am a love girl.

You are.

I'm way more laid back and cool and chill than you will ever know. I don't want no confrontation, don't start, don want to be none.

I've done shows with you now, comedy shows, TV shows.

I don't crush on women, but I had a crush on her.

You want to.

Really yeah, yeah, she said if she was you know from the community.

I don't date women, yeah, but I mean you can't sleep with them.

Every now and then.

No, I don't want to know we talked about that, about that.

Yeah, we don't.

We don't don't.

We don't date girls.

Yeah, you don't like the smell of the coaches.

Yeah, I mean like not. I don't want nothing. I know my couchie get with. I don't want nothing else around me like that.

Yeah, I'm good he said that about ass because I like, you got to clear that up. Sounds crazy. Why would I want to be in another man?

Start like that next time?

Start like that? We do?

I mean about that in general?

Yes, that's crazy.

Yeah, did y'all did y'all plan? No, both of y'all wigs are sitting. It's different bloods, But I'm yeah.

You think people hold grudges against you needy unnecessarily meaning like they look at you.

It's probably like a big sister type.

So when they're going through things like divorces and so you don't reach out to them so they feel offended.

No, no, no, I reach out. Okay, no, no, no, I reach out And I do take on the role as a big sister. One of the things I say about myself is I'm here for everybody, but nobody's here for me. Yes, I always feel like that. I always feel like I'm the one that's helping everybody, supporting everyone, But if I'm going through something, nobody is really like supporting me and helping me. I'm always considered the strong one and I'm just as weak as everybody else, you know, But everybody look at me as well, you know what I mean. Like, I have my moments when you know, when I'm like, damn, I you know, I have to be there financially for everybody. I got to be there mentally for everybody. And if I'm going through something, I'm like, well, damn, is anybody here for me?

But you know, I feel like that's what made us homegirls for because I'm the same way. So I pour into her, like I buy her gifts and stuff and she's not used to it and I'm not used to it. We do it for each other, so I feel like we're the same people in our families.

Yeah, people don't buy me gifts. I'm the one that's mind gifts all the time.

That's real.

Good people think that I have everything. I'm like, no, there's a lot of stuff I want that's real.

Because I saw a video you posted a Greg rest in peace.

Yeah.

Did people reach out to you after that?

A couple of people who I do not know, strangers, not.

Your friends, are people you consider friends.

No, I didn't to you what you said.

I brought you that long ass message.

Oh you did you the next morning I woke up and saw the next morning. No, no, no, no, she told me that she prayed for me and all those things. But honestly, when I I did get send people DM and me saying Nini, I hope you're okay. But that is not why I posted the video. I actually was going through my phone looking for something else and I came across those videos and I just said, oh my gosh, somebody post these videos because they made me smile. So I just post them. But so some people did think that maybe I was having an emotional day, but I wasn't. Actually, it was actually a great day, and I loved those videos. There's one thing Greg and I would do with Dan, so I loved that video.

Were people there for you during your grieving process the way.

I don't particularly, No, I don't feel like that, not my castmates. But they did send flowers and things like that, but not there for me emotionally. You know, like grieving is a very tough thing. People don't understand. It's very difficult to explain to somebody losing somebody that close to you. So that was a tough time. But but yeah, I'm good now, I'm doing really good.

I'm glad. Do you even look at these people as real friends though? The no? I doubt, Okay, I do not.

Yeah.

No.

What about therapy?

Do you have a therapist?

You know why?

I'm just starting therapy and I have a makeup artist in Houston, Texas, Elena. I thank you, Elena. And so she's been with this therapist that she referred to me. And I'm seeing the therapist not for the grieving process. I'm seeing her for something totally different. I feel like the grief, I feel like I've done really well with that. Uh, these are just other things that I want to talk to the therapist about, my son being sick, my husband passing away. You know, it's just a lot of different things. I just would love to have a great outlet you want to speak to. But I do feel like I'm very strong minded because I have to be, you know, I don't have the time to break down and cry and fall out I gotta know that's not.

You knowing busy as a response to trauma, and.

You'll learn that in therapy.

I say busy a lot.

It's a response to trauma. You have to try to forget about everything.

I get down now, I'll get on the airplane and be like I'm going going to Africa, like they said, some money and you know, not Africa.

Yes, but like you said, people.

You check up on people all the time. Are you talk about Peter? You check up on you talk about all these people? The people check up on you.

I don't feel like they really do, not that much. She is right that she would reach out to me and a couple of people, But no, no, no, I don't feel like they really do. I don't feel like I have that kind of support. Do you feel like I'm very like alone in this world? Yeah? I do right now with my husband being gone. I really my husband was a real force, you know. Yeah, he was really there. Yeah, my best friend and really all about his family and not having him there. Yeah, I kind of feel like I'm alone in a lot of situations, really really alone in a lot of situations, which is unfortunate. Right, Sometimes I'm at home, like I don't have anybody. I wonder who I would call kind.

Of like, yeah, it sucks when you go through person and you don't got nobody to go.

Nobody can reach out to you and the.

Only person that you had is gone, you know, to avoid that.

Yeah, even my kids don't get it because they're so young, Like they don't get it. I mean Rise twenty five, like you know, yeah, he doesn't get it. He's still very young. They don't understand like, oh my mom need me. They'd be like, Mom, where are you gonna put some more money in my account? Like they don't really get it anyway, they don't get it yet. But yeah, thank you so much. And I'm I'm sure that special so one.

Is it's out there.

He's you know, do you still speak to Kim?

Kim's only you don't speak to her.

I did speak to Kim because Kim has been going through her situation, her divorce. I ran into her, I ran into her daughter. I've talked to Kim. I text her. She d MS me, like, you know, if I'm hosting something, she DM me. So she seemed to be doing okay. She seems to be doing okay. But I don't know, it's probably a tough time for her as.

Well me AND's still gonna get these free suits, says you?

And at that two years ago you eat soup?

No custom suits?

Who are almost some African guy that you dating to be making suits?

We're gonna stick to Nini and Nini's yeah, I remember his name to his name was cut it out?

Yo?

What are y'all doing?

Did you see Cynthia her name reveal?

That was so nice? Yeah? I did see that. That was very nice and and thank you so much. Yeah, a lot of that. Yeah, well, I we'll just have to see what Bravo feels, you know. I don't know. I don't know. Imagine me being on housewived what what you guys say? I feel like.

Regularly, really, I feel like I.

Would be so big and sitting there and I feel like the rest of the girls are going to fight me and girl, I don't want to fight.

Stepping off the plane in Africa, welcome home?

What do you think about the House Wild franchise?

Now?

All I see them canceling left and right? What's canceling?

I did hear that?

Do I canceled? Oh my god? I love Dubai. What do I think about it. I don't think they've been canceling. I think they'll stick around. I think it's one of those shows that's gonna be a reund like forever years, like a soap proper. Yeah, I do. I think they have lots of.

Legs, no matter how boring one franchise, no matter how boring.

Yeah, yeah, I know they're still be around. They got money over there. They got money to keep those shows going and going and going.

Yeah.

You know you think it's about the views though, the viewership.

Yeah, yeah, but they control that too. They can keep that going if they want to, that part charge.

So yes, listening Atlanta the one that's all Yeah, Atlanta, Atlanta the one that probably keep Jersey.

But well, I think Atlanta was kind of like the first.

So yeah, because for us, Atlanta Atlanta, we're the top show. Yeah, Atlanta Atlanta just make good reality TV.

And speaking of loving hip hop, Atlanta, did you ever feel like there was a time that you did and want to do the show?

No more, Siera you.

I've watched you from the beginning on that like you've been betrayed by not only like husband's relationships and all of that, but like friendships too, Yeah, and then family, like you put a lot of yourself out there and to like learn your story a little bit, you know what I mean, well a lot on the show.

It's been plenty of times I want to safe.

Yeah.

Yeah, I didn't want to do it, but I still did it because again, like I feel like my life is a testimony I get every time I go through something, and every time I think it's like the worst that I went through, especially on television, somebody come to me and be like, you know how much you helped me? I was liodle or whatever. So it keeps me going. The family stuff, especially so many girls and that scene that I deal with my mom and I you know, and I told her, I said, you created this monster, Like you created this monster. You get what I'm saying. So it's just like those moments make me realize why, you know, I should not stop and keep going. I should keep going with I.

Think Atlanta is the best weaf for love to hear because New York went away.

And I've grown don't a lie and I can't lie. Like TV helped businesses and like it really does. I feel like I took the opportunity and I ran. It really does, like really, I don't know what nobody.

Else did, but like it launches you into all of the real.

I became a serial entrepreneur, but I felt like I knew that as soon as I when they found me in my little shop in the hood. Baby, I was like, oh, I'm about to take this ship and run like I'm never coming back here. And I didn't.

Business business booming.

Ever since, it's been different. Thank God, Thank God, that's good here. God is God?
