US Weekly

Transcript

00:00The friendships that I've developed mainly with Angie. It's probably been one of the pleasures of

00:07being on the show, I think. Finding sisterhood in this world, just in general, because nowadays

00:16people are just not, I mean, I feel like people are just different now, even after COVID. It's

00:23just like people are just more ages, they're just more stressed, they're more angry, and

00:30people are not looking for friends, and they're not looking to be a friend to the point where

00:36it feels like family, and you just don't find that no more. Season two, between two and three,

00:44where I had to take a step back and revaluate the situation because I didn't realize, believe

00:50it or not, being on this show, I didn't know what I was getting into. I didn't understand

00:55that it was going to be so chaotic. I have watched the franchises, I've watched Nene, I've watched

01:03Bethany in the past, but I didn't realize being on the other side of it that that's what was

01:10actually going on. I was just more entertained by their performance, so. That was probably

01:15the worst, darkest part was being called a cult, and thinking that my church was a cult,

01:21and my little bitty church with my little bitty 300 people in it, and I didn't understand

01:27that. I didn't know why that came out of it, but I know where it stemmed from. It stemmed

01:34from Jen Shaw. So, she put that out there, and then people took it and ran with it. So,

01:40no. It just kind of came with the territory, I think, and I just understood that this was

01:47part of my journey, and that was included. And I feel like, I really honestly believe

01:53that you don't go through, things don't happen to you that you can't, like if you can't take

01:59it. Like, I always, growing up, my grandmother used to always say that you don't go through

02:03anything that you cannot bear. So, when you're strong enough, you go through some type of

02:08trial, some type of change, some type of darkness, like I did, because I was able to get through

02:16it, and I was able to handle it, and I was ready. But at the time, I didn't know that.

02:20But I feel like once I realized that was supposed to happen, everything was supposed to be the

02:24way it was, then I was able to let it go. I grew up in Salt Lake City. I was born here,

02:31raised here. So, I'm used to it. I, there's not a lot of minorities in Salt Lake City. And

02:39my family was the minorities, 1% of minorities in Utah, and that probably was us. My grandmother,

02:45my cousins, my, and so I'm used to it. I feel comfortable in that atmosphere, being the only

02:53black person. It's just something, I went to school, there was no, that's why I moved my son

02:58to New York, because I wanted to have, I wanted him to be more diverse, and see different cultures

03:05and different people, and I, because I didn't want him to grow up like I did. I grew up with no,

03:10I was, they would play a slave movie in the class, and the whole class would turn around and look at me.

03:16So, I'm used to that, kind of. But the problem with that is that I can feel that energy. It doesn't

03:24matter who you are. Like, I can, I can feel when it comes at me. And it made me sensitive to it. But I,

03:30I don't mind it. I did it, and I own it, and I do move on, and hopefully they do too. I don't,

03:36I don't live in regret. And then I think about what I'm doing, and I try not to do it if I'm going to

03:42regret it. It just all depends who's on the other side of it, and what the situation is. But I feel

03:48like if I, if I'm being blunt, the person in front of me I'm being blunt to knows why.

03:53They can portray and be, oh, like they're so devastated and hurt, and I'm so mean and fussy

03:59and barky, but it's, they know what they did. I have no idea that I'm funny. I still don't believe

04:04I'm funny. Like, I, I even watch myself and crack up. I crack up my own self, and I'm like,

04:09I don't know where that comes, like, like my sister, and I have a sister and three brothers,

04:14they are hilarious. They're hilarious. They have me in stitches crying. I did, I thought that I

04:20didn't get that from, so it, like my whole, all my family is funny. I just thought that I was the

04:25one. I'm serious. I'm no nonsense. I'm direct. I'm kind of trying to get to life where, where I need

04:32to be, and I want to, you know, live my life in the fullest, and I didn't know that I make people

04:39laugh. It, it, so I am funny. I don't know that I'm funny, but I am funny. Oh my gosh.
