Transcript

00:00I think it's very clear that you two are going to be the breakout stars of this season.

00:04When Lisa first came to you about joining the reboot of Vanderpump Rules,

00:07what was your initial reaction?

00:09Did you have to think much about it before saying yes?

00:12As soon as they said that they were going to start a new show with a new cast,

00:16I just knew for sure it's never going to happen without me.

00:19I already knew I was a shooter, really.

00:20I didn't really have to think too much about it.

00:23I mean, I just was like, why not?

00:26You know, I didn't really know if I believed that there would be a reboot

00:30until it was like officially out there.

00:33But, you know, why would we say no?

00:36It's going to happen at CERN regardless.

00:38So, of course, to take part in it.

00:40I mean, we really are friends.

00:42So I don't know how I would be able to stay out of conversations happening at work.

00:46Natalie, you were introduced after this blowout situation with your ex-boyfriend at CERN.

00:50You were the first person this season to get a talking to by Lisa Vanderpump.

00:54What would you think if you saw somebody acting like that in front of you

00:57where you just sat there and ordered a cocktail and you came here to relax?

01:00What would you think?

01:00I would think that that girl's freaking crazy.

01:03I'm embarrassed.

01:05What was going through your mind during that conversation with the boss?

01:09You know, I was so wanting her to, like, know why I did it.

01:15And, you know, people are going to say I'm defensive or dramatic or whatever.

01:19I'm so used to it at this point.

01:20But I really did want her to know where I was coming from.

01:25And I'm learning.

01:28I'm growing.

01:29You know, I'm in therapy.

01:31I'm Lexapro.

01:32Like, I'm figuring my life out.

01:34But I just wanted her to know, like, there's a reason I'm really upset.

01:37In the trailer, you're referred to as crazy.

01:40One of your co-stars says that Natalie is really nice.

01:43And then she's crazy.

01:44Do you just not like me?

01:45Like, just tell me.

01:47What do you think of that assessment?

01:48Would you consider yourself, like, a crazy Kristen 2.0?

01:51I'm very curious to hear your side of that.

01:52I think we're all crazy.

01:53And I'm just the only one embracing it.

01:55Well, you know, whenever there is a show that's getting rebooted with a completely new cast,

01:59there's always a little bit of skepticism, obviously, from the audience.

02:02I think some of the worry with this show is that the newbies would kind of try to replicate

02:07what the original show had.

02:09Was that something you guys had in the back of your minds while you were filming?

02:12No, we don't have to replicate anything.

02:14I mean, we've been at there for years now.

02:16It really is something different every day, week, like, try to keep up.

02:21I think once people watch the show, they'll see how way different everybody is that works

02:27here now than before.

02:28And you'll really get a chance to know us for who we are.

02:31And you probably won't even be thinking about what happened before.

02:34Like, I'm biased, but it really is so organic.

02:36Marcus, it seems like we're also going to see a lot of ups and downs in your relationship

02:40with Kim this season.

02:41Marcus and Kim are constantly circling the three Fs, flirting, fighting, and f***ing.

02:46What is it going to be like for the two of you to relive that?

02:49It might suck, actually.

02:51It might really suck, now that I think about it.

02:53No, I think we're just going to try to navigate it.

02:57And, you know, our relationship has come with so much challenges already.

03:01So it's like, this is just another challenge.

03:03At the end of the day, we love each other.

03:04But, I mean, we went through some hard times and, you know, you're going to see that.

03:08But it's just our relationship, you know?

03:11Can you share an update on the current status of the relationship?

03:14Would you say the show has helped, hurt?

03:16I mean, I think it has definitely brought us closer together, for sure.

03:20I mean, when you go through so much and it's such a unique experience, it's like, you know,

03:25obviously, we still go at it.

03:27And, you know, we still have our moments.

03:29But at the end of the day, it's like, we love each other and we want it to work, you know?

03:33So that's our goal.

03:34We want it to work, so.

03:35Natalie, there was one point in this first episode where Kim suggested that maybe you're

03:39not above going after someone else's man.

03:41She pointed to the situation with Demi as evidence.

03:43Natalie doesn't understand what boundaries are.

03:46If Marcus was single and the opportunity was there for Natalie to hook up with him,

03:50I think she 100% would have done it.

03:52She's done the same thing to Demi in the past, so why wouldn't she do it to me?

03:55What's your response to that?

03:56I'm completely shook because that story is a little bit inaccurate, you know?

04:04I mean, you know, they say there's, what do they say?

04:06Like, there's three sides to every story.

04:08My side, your side, and the truth.

04:10Yeah.

04:10But I tell my side and the truth.

04:12Yeah, I would never get involved with someone's boyfriend.

04:16I had no idea when I started my involvement with my now ex that he was just kind of testing

04:24the waters with maybe someone else that's our, you know what I mean?

04:27But that never really morphed into anything serious.

04:30And, you know, I think he didn't handle it perfectly, but, you know, I'm not going to

04:38go after someone's man.

04:39There seem to be a lot of questions about the relationship between the two of you in this

04:43premiere episode.

04:43I know you guys have known each other since before Kim was in the picture.

04:47Did anything romantic ever happen between you guys in the past to make her question your

04:51friend?

04:52Never.

04:52Hell no.

04:54Never, never.

04:55We really had such a great friendship.

04:59And, you know, through this experience, it got a little complicated.

05:04And I feel like we maybe used to have an even closer friendship.

05:07I've kind of kept my distance now because I don't want to be accused of, you know, not being

05:11a girl's girl.

05:12So we had a great friendship, stronger back then.

05:16But I love Marcus as a friend and I'll always be his friend.

05:21Natalie, you weren't the only one who got in a little trouble with Lisa in the premiere.

05:24Marcus, you were also sent home after you were caught drinking on the security cameras.

05:28I don't want to speak to you anymore.

05:29Okay.

05:34Sometimes people get a little too comfortable and they make ridiculous decisions.

05:39And this was one of them.

05:41And Marcus will pay for it.

05:42Now, you said everyone sneaks drinks.

05:44So do you think it was fair that you were the one that was called out?

05:47I mean, to be, yeah, I mean, I totally got caught.

05:51And while everyone does sneak drinks or, you know, go here and there, I can kind of, I kind

05:56of really do whatever I want there.

05:57So it was like, at some point I was going to get caught, you know, and this was just,

06:01this was my time.

06:02You were like a bad influence that day.

06:04Yeah.

06:04Which is, you know, sometimes you, sir is a party.

06:07So it's like, I'm not going to just like party sober.

06:11So I had a couple of drinks.

06:13I think I was training that day and I was showing my secrets, which usually, I think that's what

06:17really got me in trouble.

06:17Usually I just get my drinks from her.

06:19She just gives it to me.

06:20Not true.

06:21But this day she was acting like, I don't know, she couldn't.

06:24He begs so many times.

06:25I just want him to go away.

06:27True.

06:27And then she'll give it to me.

06:28And I think, don't make me regret this.

06:30Yes.

06:30Yeah.

06:30Right.

06:31Yeah.

06:31I deserved it.

06:32Always.

06:32I deserved it that day.

06:34I'm not mad at it.

06:34What's it like to have, you know, Lisa Vanderpump as your boss?

06:38Because, you know, we've, everybody loves her.

06:41You know, obviously some people have, since leaving her establishment have had their own

06:46things to say.

06:47What's it like in your experience to work so closely with her?

06:51Anyone wanting to like have any base with Lisa, I don't understand.

06:55I love her so much.

06:56She really is invested in us and cares about us.

06:59Like on Thanksgiving, I texted her, you know, like I'm always just thanking her.

07:04For, for being there for us.

07:06And she tells us like, if you need something, call me.

07:08And she means it.

07:09So I'm just grateful to have developed such a close relationship with her.

07:14And she really like makes me believe in myself.

07:17Cause she really, she's like a mirror, you know, like she sees our potential and it makes

07:21us want to be better because we do like really respect her.

07:24We work for her.

07:26She's an amazing woman.

07:28So, you know, I'm just grateful that she even cares about me at all.

07:32If anybody has something negative to say about Lisa, it's just because you're mad that you

07:37can't kind of benefit off of having that relationship anymore.

07:40She's big on loyalty as well.

07:41So, you know, if you do wrong by her, it's, it's hard to come back from that.

07:48Yeah.

07:48No, she's a, she's my hero.

07:49She's like my role.

07:50She's like my role model.

07:51I would love to be Lisa when I grow up.

07:53You know what I mean?

07:53Same.

07:54Same.

07:54Who wouldn't?

07:55We all.

07:56We all love you.

07:57She's an icon.

07:58Like when she comes into the room, you just, you feel her presence.

08:02If anyone on your cast is capable of causing a Scandaval level scandal, who would it be

08:08and why?

08:09I think we're way smarter than that.

08:11Yeah.

08:13I mean, I'm not saying we're not, we don't fight, but that was a big, you know, mess up.

08:19I think we're, I think that situation was so specific and just like weird.

08:22You know, the truth always comes out.

08:24Like we can't hide anything from each other for very long.

08:27So I don't think it would ever get to that level.

08:29And like, we really do love each other.

08:31I don't know what that was, but that wasn't real love.

08:33That wasn't like real friendship.

08:35That was some fake, you know what?

08:36Yeah.

08:37I don't think anything like that would ever happen.

08:40Not, there's not like true, true scumbags in our group.

08:43Not that any, not, I'm not saying.

08:45We're mouthy, we're bitchy and irresponsible and whatever at times, you know, but.

08:51Not scumbags.

08:52But we love each other.

08:53Is there anything else you can tease about what fans are going to see this season?

08:57Anything you're super excited for people to see?

09:00Anything you're dreading needing to relive yourself?

09:03I think you're going to see a group of people that are really a family that work together

09:07that love each other sometimes and hate each other sometimes.

09:11And there's just a lot that comes along with that.

09:13And it's just, you'll, you'll follow on a fun journey.

09:16You know what I mean?

09:17It's like, just like us.

09:18So I also think there's a bunch of us that are really talented at something.

09:22Like we are in LA to pursue our dreams.

09:26And, you know, I've seen people say like, why is the show not in Vegas or whatever?

09:30But also like, I think it's really hard to film in casinos.

09:33So like, that's not happening, guys.

09:36But yeah, I mean, we're like good at things.

09:38Like there's a lot of actors.

09:40There's a lot of models.

09:41Like singing.

09:42You know, I was saying earlier today, I said, Marcus, you're a great singer.

09:44And he was like, wow, thank you.

09:46Kimberly's a great singer.

09:47Also actress.

09:48Natalie's a great singer.

09:49I sing an act.

09:50Venus is a model.

09:51He's a writer.

09:51He's a painter.

09:52Like we're all very multifaceted and like good at things.

09:55What's like your dream outside of Sir?

09:58Well, Natalie roasted me earlier, but I guess I am another 30 year old DJ.

10:03And whether or not she thinks I suck or I don't, I think that I'm pretty damn good and

10:09I'm getting better and better and I'm learning.

10:10So I think that you could see your boy in front of in front of some, you know, crowds of people

10:14pumping it up.

10:15I hope you don't get me wrong.

10:16Yeah.

10:17Every cast needs a DJ.

10:19Yeah.

10:20What about you, Natalie?

10:20I don't know about that.

10:22Um, I think we need less DJs, but whatever, it's just my opinion, but apparently I live

10:27in my own world, so my world isn't going to have DJs, but, um, you know, the singer,

10:31she's a singer, right?

10:32Who's going to, I'm not playing your music.

10:34Then who's going to play your music.

10:37Exactly.

10:38Go ahead.

10:38I'm sorry.

10:39Okay.

10:39Anyway.

10:40Um, I don't know.

10:41You know, I got a degree in acting, so I moved to LA during the strike.

10:45So that's really why my focus became singing the last few years.

10:48So, you know, movie musicals are so big these days.

10:52I would love to take some of the Broadway shows I grew up like obsessed with and see

10:56them become films.

10:57That's such a thing nowadays.

10:59So, I mean, I would love to do that or I would love to do like a gossip girl, you know,

11:04but like have an EP or an album come out.

11:06So it was, you know, the, the world is all of our oysters, not just us on the show, like

11:12for us coming to LA from other States and working in the service industry, like as a

11:20survival job.

11:20And then, you know, kind of having this opportunity is it's, it can happen for anyone.

11:26You just have to be brave and put yourself out there.

11:28You just have to be brave and put yourself out there.
