00:07In London, on any given summer's day, you will find a marvellous garden party.
00:13Wow!
00:14Well, guys, I wanted to tell you all that I'm actually pregnant.
00:20And I'm so happy here.
00:22Yeah.
00:22I mean, it's run down.
00:23I mean, look, you know, there's damp patches on the ceiling, and it needs some love, but
00:27I'm gonna give it a lick of paint.
00:28I am the eternal riches to rags and rags to riches story.
00:33And I'm gonna get rich again.
00:35How many are you?
00:36Three kids, one husband, and a nanny.
00:38It's okay.
00:39I mean, at least I'm not bringing my doodle.
00:41Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:42Oh, these are the ones that told me the Dara story.
00:44This girl said to me, I think she's a madam.
00:47No, she's like a Harvard architect.
00:49Dara is not here to defend herself.
00:51It's up to me to stick up for Dara, because that's what friendship is.
00:55Margot hears that you're a madam.
00:59This is, like, so beneath me.
01:00I don't care.
01:01I feel a bit bad.
01:03Why?
01:04Because my cat, she's so nice.
01:06And Dara said that she was, like, embarrassed of her.
01:10Dara says she was cringe, embarrassing, low class.
01:13Do you think I should tell her or not?
01:16If you want to get involved in other people's business,
01:19you know, it's not your problem.
01:23Why don't you follow me?
01:25You know you'll never feed me.
01:27You might be free.
01:29But this is my scene.
01:35People often ask, can you tell when someone's an American?
01:39Well, yes, the moment they open their mouths.
01:42Hello, London calling.
01:44Often even before.
01:46When you go to America, when you go to a shop,
01:47I was like, hello, this is my name, this is what I do.
01:49We don't talk as much here.
01:50I burned sage, and my teenagers were like,
01:53oh, there goes Margot, smoking weed all day.
01:55And I was like...
01:56Which is lovely.
01:57They're much friendlier than us, probably.
01:59I think my advice to any American trying to make it
02:02in the London scene would just be good luck.
02:05Would you like a second drink?
02:06I would have liked one 28 minutes ago.
02:09I think on the whole, we rather like Americans.
02:13I think on the whole.
02:18All right, can we go over the week schedule?
02:20Yeah, let's run through it.
02:21So we have your first ever etiquette course here.
02:24So we're getting everything ready for that.
02:27Talk to me about how you got into doing etiquette.
02:31So I was an American living in London.
02:35I was at this amazing dinner,
02:37and everybody just knew how to use their cutlery so beautifully.
02:41And everyone was holding their champagne flutes so effortlessly,
02:45gliding around this dinner party.
02:48And I felt so insecure.
02:50And Marco, my husband, grew up in Switzerland,
02:53and this was second nature to him.
02:55He actually, at the time, said,
02:58well, why don't you take an etiquette class?
02:59Which I know is the last thing you want the boy that you're dating
03:02to say you need an etiquette class.
03:04Like, ooh, like a little, you know, like the pinch, like, ooh.
03:08Okay.
03:09And then we have two content shoots coming up,
03:11so we need to carve out what those talking points are going to be
03:14for the brand deliverables for the finishing program.
03:17Yeah.
03:18I trained underneath a former member
03:19of the Queen of England's household staff,
03:21and she taught Princess Diana etiquette.
03:24Okay, I'm going to miss my flight to New York.
03:26Okay.
03:26If I don't go now.
03:27Do you need a snack box to go?
03:28Oh, my God.
03:29Are you sure?
03:30Probably on a plane with food. I could never.
03:31My love of etiquette came from confidence that I got through it.
03:35Wrap your lips around the chip, and it will stop the noise.
03:37And that I wanted to give other people,
03:40which I think is such a beautiful thing.
03:42Transitioning out of work into mom life,
03:44did you ever sign up Valentina for tennis?
03:48Uh, no, but I saw it in the calendar, which means Marco did.
03:53Okay.
03:54I met my husband in New York City in 2008.
03:58I fall madly in love, and then, boom, Marco gets a call
04:01that he is being sent back to London.
04:04And, uh, I went.
04:06Marco works in private equity, and he travels almost every week for work.
04:12Hello!
04:14Hi, sweetie pie.
04:15Hi.
04:16And I think at the end of the day, it's not ideal right now.
04:20This is not what we would have chosen.
04:22But he wants to be with us, and he tells me that all the time,
04:25and that we're working to a place where he can be.
04:28I hope it's not going to be like this forever.
04:31Did Max have a nap today?
04:33And no, he didn't.
04:35Uh-oh.
04:35There are definitely times where I'm like, burnt.
04:38At the end of the week, you are burnt out.
04:40And all you want to do is just, like, melt to the ground.
04:44All right, let's call Papi.
04:46Max, do you want to come?
04:48No.
04:49Hi.
04:50Hello.
04:50Hi.
04:51Hi, my lovey love.
04:53How are you doing?
04:54Good.
04:55How are you doing, Valentina?
04:56How are you doing?
04:56Good.
04:57And how was your school today?
04:59Good.
04:59Good.
05:00Max, how are you?
05:03Good.
05:04How's work?
05:05It's good.
05:06I mean, it's good.
05:06It's exciting.
05:07But it's like, there's just so much to do.
05:09I rely on my friendships in London so much more than the average person because they are my family.
05:16I feel overwhelmed a little bit.
05:18You'll get there.
05:18Yeah.
05:19When I don't have family physically with me in London, my friends are my family.
05:24Well, we love you.
05:25We miss you.
05:26We'll see you in just a couple days.
05:28Ciao.
05:28Love you.
05:29Okay.
05:31Family's everything to me.
05:32If I don't have my friendships of a lifetime, if I don't have Dara, then who do I have?
05:40Oh, my gosh.
05:41I love the little chopstick holders.
05:43Oh, these are beautiful.
05:44This is so cute.
05:45Brooke, I was thinking we could do name cards.
05:47Okay.
05:48And I love it when the name's like on both sides so your guests on your sides and friends can
05:52see you.
05:53My dinner party is at Ivy Asia.
05:55I really want to treat everybody to something special with a Chinese culture to show them a little bit piece
06:02of my culture.
06:03I may leave you ladies.
06:05Yeah.
06:05Go on to the room so you can have a...
06:06Okay.
06:07We'll let you know if we need any.
06:09Okay.
06:11Actually, you know what?
06:12I need to give a lot to your ring.
06:14Yeah.
06:14Let's go see the front room.
06:18Hi.
06:19How are you?
06:21You look beautiful.
06:23Oh, thanks.
06:24I know.
06:24I'm like the pregnancy person.
06:26Oh, wow.
06:27They look amazing.
06:28I actually have some news.
06:31You're pregnant?
06:32Yeah, I'm pregnant.
06:32Shut the F up.
06:34I know.
06:34I'm like, there's not really much going on there.
06:37Oh, I was so tiny.
06:38How was Mark's?
06:40Yeah, it was good.
06:41We had a nice time.
06:43Yeah.
06:43Micah like filled me in a little bit.
06:45But I was so tiny.
06:45But yeah, it was, it sounded like an interesting conversation.
06:50So what do you think about the rumor that you're a madam?
06:56I heard from Martha that your friend, Dara, she's a madam.
07:01No.
07:02She's mine.
07:03My reaction was just that it's just like a ridiculous thing to say.
07:07I was just really shocked.
07:09Like, is it a big deal?
07:11No.
07:12I think Micah's certainly more sensitive than I am.
07:15Isn't it gorgeous?
07:17Oh, it's so pretty.
07:18I feel like your outfits would fit this vibe, you know?
07:22The truth is people will formulate more opinions about a public figure.
07:26Micah doesn't have a public persona yet.
07:29So for her, it was probably a bigger deal than it was for me.
07:34I feel like I'll just be cleared up on Thursday.
07:36It'll be really fun.
07:45Let's go.
07:48Hello.
07:50How are you?
07:50Good afternoon.
07:51Welcome.
07:52Oh, my God.
07:54That's my friend.
07:55Amazing.
07:56Please.
07:56The loud one.
07:56I could see that a mile away.
08:00Oh, my God.
08:01Mark Fardelli is incredible.
08:03He has been my best friend for ages now.
08:05We met in Saint-Tropez 14 years ago.
08:08He's the funniest person in the world.
08:10Also very kind.
08:11Amazing with children.
08:12He's my youngest son's godfather.
08:14This is so Black Widow.
08:17Emma and I are not friends.
08:19Emma is essentially my Siamese twin.
08:22Because wherever we are in the world, we're somehow always connected
08:25and we're always thinking the same thing.
08:28Hi.
08:29God, we're both so fat.
08:32I always say I'm Prosecco and he is champagne.
08:34And that is basically all you need to know.
08:38Hello.
08:39No doubt.
08:39May I have some actual tea?
08:41Classic English breakfast for two?
08:42Yes, please.
08:42Very good.
08:43For three, actually.
08:43For one, for one, for one.
08:45Fine, I'll have tea.
08:46Since I'm the only civilized person in this whole organization.
08:50Very good.
08:51Hi.
08:52How are you?
08:53I'm okay for the moment.
08:55Allow me to chew the way.
08:57I certainly hope you killed that animal yourself.
09:00I did, darling.
09:00I don't know you.
09:03I'm stuck.
09:03Oh, my goodness.
09:05Beautiful.
09:05How are you?
09:06I miss you.
09:07How are you?
09:08So good to see you.
09:08Good to see you.
09:09Thank you, my love.
09:10Kimmy is an icon.
09:11I first met Kimmy when I was, like, 17.
09:13She and my husband.
09:14Seulen, funnily enough.
09:15Oh, I love Seulen.
09:16I met Seulen a hundred years ago.
09:18Back in the decadent days when you were still allowed to go to big country houses and, like,
09:22break antiques.
09:25First time I met her, she was, like, 17.
09:27And I went to her house so drunk that I collapsed on the floor.
09:31And her mother was like, are you all right?
09:32Do you think you can make it home?
09:33I'm like, no, I don't know.
09:36So where have you been?
09:37I see you were in Cannes.
09:38I was in Cannes for the longest Cannes of my life, doing simultaneous jobs overlapping.
09:43What have you?
09:44Hello, Cannes.
09:45We're back.
09:49Got to be glamorous and...
09:51Fantastic.
09:52Carefree.
09:53Yes.
09:53Kind of.
09:54Anyway, I need to know what I missed.
09:56Tell me about this party.
09:57The funniest part about the whole party.
09:59Go on, then.
10:01Mother's at what's fresh.
10:02Don't choke, dear.
10:04Margot came out and said the other day that this Dara girl is a madam.
10:13Spilling tea.
10:14Oh, I love it.
10:14I don't know about this.
10:15This doesn't sound...
10:16Oh, shut up, Emma.
10:17It's funny.
10:18It is funny.
10:20I'm not saying I don't gossip, of course.
10:22Who doesn't love gossip and tea?
10:23You know, it's so funny.
10:24But, like, the less I know about this, the better, frankly.
10:28Dara, was she there?
10:30No, no.
10:30She told me she had her best friend's wedding.
10:32And she said, oh, it's in Tuscan.
10:34I said, oh, that's great.
10:36You know, I just bought a house in Tuscan.
10:37Where?
10:38And she goes, well, I don't know.
10:39My assistant's assistant booked it.
10:41And I said, oh.
10:42She rich, rich.
10:43Yeah.
10:45Anyway, she's invited us for dinner.
10:47Great.
10:47I can't wait.
10:49Tell me about Tuscany.
10:50So you bought a house when?
10:52It's in Florence.
10:53I bought this house because I thought, actually,
10:54it was a really good way for me to spend some time with my father.
11:00Yeah.
11:01Unfortunately, he has slowly deteriorated.
11:05So...
11:05I'm really sorry.
11:07My parents, they never really lived together.
11:10In fact, they never lived in the same country.
11:11You're the only child.
11:12Of course I'm the only child.
11:14Can't you tell?
11:14Can't you tell?
11:15My relationship with my father growing up was really very simple.
11:19I would fly to him to Italy every weekend
11:21and then fly back on Sunday night.
11:23It was just a constant series of goodbyes.
11:27If you need any help...
11:28Yeah, let us know.
11:29Oh, I mean that.
11:29My father and I haven't really spent very much time together
11:32over the last 30 years.
11:35Too much solitude.
11:37Too much pain.
11:38Too little understanding.
11:40Too little connection, really.
11:42And, um...
11:44I don't want it to be too late.
11:46If there's anything you need, I promise.
11:48I need so much.
11:49She's already got the nurse's uniform in her cupboard.
11:52Vintage.
11:53Except for latex.
11:55Yes!
11:55Nurse's hat.
11:57I can come in.
11:58How could you refuse such a generous offer?
12:00I couldn't.
12:00I'm like...
12:02Talk to Dara.
12:04Oh, my God.
12:07She represents me.
12:24Excited for baby shoot?
12:25Yeah, I know.
12:26It's baby's first shoot.
12:27It's so cute.
12:28So cute.
12:29We've waited quite a long time to do the pictures
12:31just because, like, the bump wasn't really, like,
12:34bumping as much as I was expecting.
12:37I'm just going to have to, like, eat some pasta
12:39and push that belly out.
12:41Josh must be over the main as well.
12:43Yeah, he's really excited.
12:44I can hear his boots.
12:45All right, how are we doing, ladies?
12:47I can hear your boots coming, darling.
12:49Joshua and I met at The Box,
12:51which is an infamous nightclub in Soho.
12:54And this man walked in with his fedora and his moustache
12:57and I thought, oh, my God, is it Johnny Depp?
12:59Because it's dark in there, you know?
13:01And he does have that kind of look.
13:03How long? How long?
13:04I'm ready. I'm keen to get going.
13:05Five minutes. We've just got to do the lip vibe.
13:07Okay, great.
13:07The quick vibe. The good side of five.
13:08The good side of five, baby.
13:10Okay.
13:10I think it was, like, two hours later,
13:12someone found us snogging downstairs at The Box.
13:16Okay.
13:17Thanks, babe.
13:17The rest is history.
13:18We got engaged after eight weeks of dating
13:21and we were married within a year.
13:24This year will be three years married
13:26and we have a baby on the way.
13:28Look how cute.
13:32All right.
13:33We're ready for pink suit.
13:34Yeah.
13:35Yes.
13:37Let's do this.
13:38Let's let the world know.
13:40She looks amazing.
13:42Yeah, she does.
13:44Nice.
13:44You're not going to hurt someone with that.
13:45This suit looks amazing, Lofty.
13:47Absolutely amazing.
13:48I think it's just the obvious thing for people to assume,
13:51oh, he's a man that works in fashion, so he's gay.
13:55Perfect.
13:56But, you know, honestly,
13:57I find his flamboyance really attractive.
13:59My ears are sort of, like, flicking out.
14:01Do you mind just fixing it really quick?
14:02We do our nails together.
14:04Like, we do our makeup.
14:05Like, it's so fun.
14:07Honestly, it's like a proper partnership.
14:09It's not just, you're the boy, you're the girl.
14:11It's like, we are one.
14:13All right, let's do a couple of joint shots
14:14and then let our little baby out.
14:17Turn slightly more my way.
14:19That's great.
14:20Just at me now.
14:23Beautiful.
14:23Yay!
14:25Okay.
14:25It's happening.
14:26Oh, my God.
14:27Wow, these are great.
14:28They're beautiful.
14:30Well, boobs are boobing.
14:31Boobs are boobing.
14:32Boobs are doing the most right now.
14:34I know.
14:43Could have run the hoover round, couldn't I?
14:45Never mind.
14:45We are where we are.
14:56Okay, so talk to me about the British biscuit tin.
15:02What is that?
15:04Well, I live with rats.
15:05I've got to keep them out of the biscuit.
15:08Peggity-pegity, there's biscuits.
15:10Do you want some biscuits?
15:14Oh, you bought me flowers.
15:17Oh, it's never a mistake.
15:19Oh, I love you so much.
15:21So, Mimi's an interior designer
15:23and a very good friend of mine,
15:25and she's come to help me with the grottage.
15:26I am prone to painting everything pink
15:29and then covering it in, like, cherubs and gilt.
15:31Lemon and water?
15:33Yes, please.
15:33I'm basically a gay Arab man
15:35trapped in a white straight woman's body.
15:36It's just good to have Mimi keep me
15:38on the right side of kitsch.
15:41So, I love the grottage.
15:43What I don't love is the wallpaper is peeling off.
15:48There are damp patches.
15:49Everything's covered in magpie crap.
15:53I found a painter.
15:54Oh, I'm so looking forward to this renovation.
15:57Oh, darling, you're such an angel to help me.
15:59Because I'm just sort of...
16:00I feel a bit drowning at the moment, you know.
16:04It's been a really, really bitter five years.
16:07No, it has been a lot.
16:08So, five years ago, I had a really tough break-up.
16:11It was a real death of the ego.
16:14And then I was just getting my head above the waves
16:17of all the grief...
16:20when a man outside my house
16:23started making strangling noises
16:24when I was walking my dogs at night
16:27and I had to move.
16:30I had to move for my mental safety.
16:33So, let's hatch a plan.
16:35Shall we go and have a look?
16:36Yeah, let's have a wander.
16:39This cupboard is already filled with clutter
16:40and it's also damp.
16:43What kind of clutter?
16:45All sorts.
16:45All sorts.
16:46All sorts.
16:48I've just found...
16:49What have you found?
16:50I've just found my measuring spoons.
16:52Oh, well, never mind.
16:53They can stay there for now.
16:53Is this the Hegarty situation?
16:55Oh, that was already there,
16:56but she does make use of those, yeah.
16:58Okay.
16:58Do they need to stay?
16:59Fashion something?
17:00I think those could potentially go.
17:02So, my last real home before the grottage
17:03was a very beautiful, lovely, airy, light flat
17:07in South Kensington.
17:09Oh, it's so beautiful.
17:10I miss it.
17:11Well, budget-wise, at the moment,
17:12I can only afford to do the sitting room.
17:14Sitting room, okay.
17:15And I can only afford about two and a half grand maximum.
17:19Two and a half.
17:20Two to two and a half.
17:21We can do that.
17:22When I left my husband,
17:23I really wanted to behave honourably in our divorce,
17:27but it was difficult to get legal representation
17:29and he had big legal representation.
17:32So, by the time we got to court,
17:34there was apparently no money to be found.
17:37What I got from the divorce was my title
17:38and not a lot else.
17:41I really want to build my life
17:44because every time I've thrown away my life
17:48to go and look after these rich men,
17:51not one of them has looked after me.
17:54You know, old Martha would have just been picked up
17:57by another knight in shining armour.
18:00New Martha doesn't want a knight in shining armour.
18:02I really want to do this for myself
18:04and it's harder, but I'm working at it.
18:12Only good will come from here.
18:14Trust that.
18:16I live with a magpie.
18:17I deal with enough .
18:30Hello.
18:32How's it going?
18:33Welcome.
18:34This is the first time in my new casa.
18:37Wow.
18:38Loving it.
18:39It's nicer than the old one.
18:40Yeah, right?
18:41Much nicer, yeah.
18:41Don't you feel like the energy is a bit like...
18:43Yeah, yeah.
18:44This is way nicer.
18:45Small steps, small steps.
18:47So, how are you doing?
18:48I'm okay.
18:50I'm such an anxious person, you know that.
18:53Like, I've done three meditations last night
18:55and then I still was feeling like anxious.
18:57You've got some stressful stuff.
18:59Yeah.
18:59I started therapy because I was living in survival mode.
19:04My relationship was failing.
19:06I have two kids with two different men.
19:08I needed to understand why I was always in this black hole.
19:14I was always kind of labelled.
19:15Oh, she's hot.
19:16Like, she's a wag.
19:17But deep down, I was super insecure
19:19because I always had to be like high maintenance image
19:22of like, I've got my together.
19:25My first relationship, he was making me happy.
19:28He gave me everything.
19:29I had the house, the dream life.
19:32And I was a little bit bored.
19:34And then I met the fun guy
19:37and he was the most toxic person I've ever met in my life.
19:42He would always kind of like belittle me
19:44and why do you want to do that?
19:45Why are you doing that?
19:46Why are you going to that event?
19:47You started draining my soul.
19:49Three years ago, I would never think I would get here.
19:53It is someone you love.
19:55Yeah.
19:55But he did put me in a lot of stress.
19:58See, it's because of the way you dressed.
20:01You are making men look at you
20:03because of the way you dressed.
20:05I was drained by him.
20:07Like, my whole soul was sucked out.
20:09When you go through this toxic relationship,
20:12you fall into like victim mode.
20:14And he's horrible because you don't want it.
20:16You know it's wrong.
20:18You normalize it.
20:19And you're like, how have I put myself this slow?
20:22But you can't see a way out.
20:23I think I kind of attracted my current ex
20:28because my dad was a little bit like that.
20:31And it was almost like I was accepting it
20:34because I thought maybe this is how it should be.
20:38So what is it and where is it that you really want to take things?
20:41I want to be proud of myself.
20:44Okay.
20:45I want to show up authentic.
20:47Okay.
20:47Where I in the past have always suppressed that.
20:51Okay.
20:51Which then made me insecure.
20:53With the work I'm doing on myself,
20:55it is helping me to feel more secure.
20:59Because if you hold things in,
21:01you just kind of bury them, bury them, bury them, bury them.
21:05And I'm learning to be okay to have a voice
21:09and not feel that people's going to judge me.
21:13Confidence comes in layers.
21:14Yeah.
21:15The more you upset people,
21:16it just means that you're doing something right.
21:17And the more you stand in your power,
21:18the more confident you are,
21:19the more people are going to get upset.
21:20And that's brilliant.
21:21Yeah.
21:22Because it's going to shake them up.
21:23You want to shake them up.
21:24And also I think the most beautiful thing is to be yourself.
21:27Yeah.
21:28Like what could ever beat that?
21:38Wow.
21:39Look at all the big trees.
21:42Is this a nice park?
21:45Do you love the bubbles?
21:48You know, it's like I'm a completely different person
21:51coming back into London this time.
21:53I don't drink anymore.
21:54We'll just chill here for a little bit.
21:55Okay.
21:56If you want to go hang out and take a break.
21:58Bye, Bella.
21:58Bye-bye.
21:59Bye-bye, honey.
22:01Hello.
22:01I wonder what Micah would say
22:04is the appropriate way to feed your baby olives without a pit.
22:07I got sober because Martha Sitwell broke me.
22:16It's not funny.
22:18Why am I laughing?
22:20You know who you're going to meet right now?
22:22You're going to meet mommy's best friend.
22:25I was living in Los Angeles and Martha invited me
22:28for a week in Ibiza with her boyfriend at the time
22:30and then for a week grouse shooting, whatever the that is,
22:34in Scotland.
22:35I was so full of alcohol.
22:38I was crying straight vodka.
22:40I was on the flight home and just thought,
22:42I think I can't do this anymore.
22:44She literally broke me.
22:45There she is.
22:48Hi, Della.
22:49I'm Martha.
22:51I've heard so much about you.
22:53Oh, my gosh.
22:54Della, she brought you toys.
22:56Della, do you want to see what's in the big box?
22:58Wow.
23:00Here, Della, you pull it.
23:01Pull this ribbon.
23:02It's so bizarre to see Margot as a mother.
23:05I can't believe you have a one-year-old child
23:07that I haven't met.
23:08One and a half.
23:09Anyway, I'm here now, so we can just get back into it.
23:11Margot was literally the life and soul of London for a long time
23:15and then, like me, has had some peaks and troughs.
23:20You have a twerking pony, Della.
23:23And I'm so happy to see her coming back in a peak.
23:26I'm so proud of her.
23:28How's the house hunting going?
23:29So the house that I really want, it was an architectural digest.
23:33It's like, no, it's really like a vibe.
23:34It's totally not in our budget.
23:36Oh, okay.
23:37I have, like, a pretty major budget, okay?
23:40What's your budget?
23:4150K USD per month.
23:43Really?
23:45But that's probably why I like it so much.
23:48So how's it going with the grottage?
23:50Well, I can only do one room this time,
23:51but it'll at least be really lovely to have one room.
23:54It's a big, important room.
23:55Yeah, and I've met a sweet guy in the park
23:58who says that he's a painter and decorator,
24:00so he's gonna come and paint it for me.
24:01I had to go and give him 300 quid in cash yesterday,
24:04which felt a bit strange.
24:05That's normal.
24:05They have to buy your paint.
24:06Okay.
24:07Well, no, that wasn't for paint.
24:10That was for other stuff.
24:13That feels really crazy to me.
24:15Oh, dear.
24:17Why is she wiring money to someone before they do work?
24:20She has serious life experience
24:23that has told her,
24:24you cannot trust strangers.
24:26I know, I know.
24:27I'm terribly gullible.
24:28I just believe everything
24:29everyone tells me all the time.
24:47Oh, my God.
24:48Hey.
24:48Malcolm Francis.
24:50Love the Croydon faceless.
24:52It's good, isn't it?
24:54Yeah, it's great.
24:55I actually needed it today.
24:58How are you feeling about tonight?
25:00I kind of have to say something.
25:03You know?
25:04With Dara, there's another side to her that's not honest.
25:09She's shady about Micah.
25:10She was like,
25:11oh, my God, I met her the other day,
25:13and she was, like, so tacky.
25:16She's just really two-faced.
25:18I called my therapist, to be honest, on the way.
25:20Oh, well done.
25:21What did they say?
25:22He's like, breathe in, breathe out.
25:24Oh, you've got this.
25:46Wow.
25:47Oh, my gosh.
25:48Beautiful.
25:50They did a great job.
25:51Thank you so much.
25:52Of course.
25:52You're stunning.
25:54I think maybe we put the cards, like...
25:56On top?
25:57Yeah.
25:57Okay.
26:00Oh, my God.
26:02Wow.
26:02How are you?
26:09Hi.
26:09Hi.
26:10Hi, I'm Martha.
26:12I've heard so much about you.
26:12Yeah, I've heard so much about you.
26:14Hi.
26:15Oh, my God.
26:16The dress, babe.
26:17I feel a bit unsettled.
26:19I know I need to say something.
26:21Guys, these are welcome drinks.
26:23So, these are the alcoholic.
26:24I just hope, like, Dara apologizes and, you know, moves on.
26:29These are non-alcoholic.
26:31Alcohol.
26:34Alcohol.
26:34You're like, I'll stick with that one.
26:38I know.
26:39I know.
26:39How are you?
26:41How are you?
26:41How so?
26:41Hi, nice to meet you, Dara.
26:43Nice to meet you.
26:45Nice to meet you.
26:45Nice to meet you.
26:45Hello.
26:46Wow.
26:48There she is.
26:50Hi.
26:50Hi.
26:51Hi.
26:52Thank you so to you.
26:53Hi.
26:53How are you?
26:54Oh, my goodness.
26:55Hi.
26:55Hi.
26:57I'm nervous for Dara.
26:59She's seeing all these people that were spreading rumors about her.
27:04I think she's a madam.
27:06It is a horrible, incorrect rumor.
27:08You'll be shocked that that was even said.
27:10And they're at her dinner party.
27:12Hi.
27:14Hello.
27:15Hello.
27:17You look beautiful.
27:18Oh, my God.
27:18I dress for the room.
27:20The thing, ladies, how do you know Dara?
27:23I...
27:23How do I know you?
27:26Oh, my God.
27:27So...
27:27I'm a fan.
27:29So I followed her on Instagram for, like, a long time.
27:33And...
27:33I always have ladies following her.
27:35And...
27:36Yeah.
27:36One of the reasons I love Dara, she always put people together.
27:39Especially the ladies, beautiful, intelligent, and have business together.
27:44I'm still not convinced that she's not a madam.
27:47One of those friends is saying she's a connector.
27:49The other one she found online.
27:51There's a little energy there.
27:54Hi.
27:55Hi.
27:56I'm Margo.
27:56Hi.
27:57Nice to meet you.
27:58You look beautiful.
28:00This is an incredible room.
28:01You live in LA, is that right?
28:03Yeah.
28:03Well, I have a place in Malibu.
28:05Okay.
28:05And then I'm working here.
28:06Oh, amazing.
28:07And then I lived here for 20 years.
28:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:08All my old friends are here.
28:10Yeah, I know.
28:11We both know Nicholas.
28:13Oh, no way.
28:13Yeah.
28:14He told me about you.
28:15No way.
28:16I swear, because I introduced him to the Milken Institute.
28:19Oh, yeah, of course.
28:20And I got him to speak at LA.
28:22I'm always, like, helping, like, you know, connect, so...
28:25Very cool.
28:26This girl has a doctorate in diplomacy.
28:29She has blown me away with kindness immediately with the people that we share in common.
28:34I mean, you would have to have those skills to be a madam.
28:38Like, requisite.
28:39It's just a small world.
28:40It's a really small world.
28:41I know.
28:50Show your cigarette.
28:51Yeah, yeah, your cigarette heels.
28:53There we go.
28:53Cigarette heels.
28:55Lovely, thank you.
28:57So, darling, be prepared.
28:59Cheers.
29:00Cheers.
29:04Hello.
29:05Hey!
29:06Oh, my God.
29:07You look amazing.
29:08So nice to see you.
29:10So do you.
29:11Hi, ladies.
29:13Oh, my God.
29:14How are you?
29:15Oh, my God.
29:16This is beautiful.
29:16Oh, this is beautiful.
29:17We're matching perfectly.
29:19I love it.
29:19Oh, my God.
29:20I'm desperate for a glass of champagne.
29:22Right there.
29:22I'll be one second.
29:24Hi, ladies.
29:26I'm Kimmy.
29:27Oh, my God.
29:28I'm so disappointed.
29:29You're sitting across from me.
29:31Oh, my God.
29:31Oh, my God.
29:31Fantastic.
29:33Would you like a drink, darling?
29:35I would love one.
29:36Excuse me.
29:36Oh, yeah, please.
29:37Oh, God.
29:39Psh.
29:39Get Heidi Fleiss in.
29:41I got the real madam in.
29:42Hey, guys.
29:43Come sit down.
29:45Should we get in the boxing ring?
29:50So beautiful.
29:51Wow, gorgeous.
29:52Yeah, so, Marco, you're at the end.
29:55Miss Nisse.
29:57You're right here next to me.
30:00Great.
30:01Do we have everyone?
30:03We're waiting for Emma.
30:04Oh, wait.
30:04Is Emma not coming?
30:05I think she's coming, but she's coming later.
30:07Okay.
30:08That's fine, guys.
30:09That's fine.
30:09I think she had another event or something.
30:11Yeah.
30:11I just want to say thank you all for coming.
30:14I wanted to bring us here together because we're all entrepreneurs.
30:18We all made something from nothing.
30:22Who is she talking to?
30:24Has she looked around the table?
30:34We all have, like, something that we can share with each other or help each other.
30:39We're all self-made.
30:40We're all, you know, here to help each other.
30:44Congratulations to me for being a self-made woman.
30:48My gosh, isn't that formidable?
30:50I never knew.
30:51I really don't know what Dara's talking about.
30:53She says everyone has an entrepreneurial spirit.
30:55My entrepreneur is zero.
30:57Hello, everyone.
30:58How are you today?
30:59Excellent timing.
31:01Thank God.
31:04Hi.
31:05Finally.
31:07Finally.
31:08Hello.
31:09How are you?
31:10Hi.
31:11Hello.
31:11How are you?
31:12Hi.
31:12How are you?
31:12How are you?
31:13How are you?
31:13Oh, my gosh.
31:14Hi.
31:16Is this your party?
31:17So nice to meet you.
31:19Can we have steak?
31:20Hmm?
31:21Steak?
31:21I want meat.
31:22Yeah, you can.
31:23I'm hungry.
31:24Go for it, Mom.
31:25Where were you?
31:27Kensington Palace.
31:28Oh, nice.
31:28What are you doing?
31:29A fragrance launch.
31:30Your fragrance launch?
31:31I was attending as a guest.
31:33Excuse me.
31:33Can I order some alcohol?
31:35And the poet laureate was there.
31:36It was a whole thing.
31:37And I made my excuses and I came here.
31:39Okay, cheers, everyone.
31:40Cheers.
31:41To our hostess.
31:42I don't even have it here.
31:43I think I'm so sorry.
31:43I have to give you something.
31:44Just to do a toast.
31:45No, no, no, no.
31:46Just be quiet.
31:46Okay?
31:48The old Missy would definitely just keep her mouth shut.
31:51But I've closed a chapter that was full of lies, of cheat in my life.
31:56And I made a promise that, like, me moving forward, I just don't want that.
32:02The more you upset people, it just means that you're doing something right.
32:05And the more you stand in your power, the more confident you are, the more people are going to get
32:08upset.
32:08And that's brilliant.
32:09Cheers.
32:10Cheers, babe.
32:10Like, don't stand there and celebrate women.
32:13And then totally trash women behind closed doors.
32:16That is not cool.
32:20I am so grateful to be here.
32:22Thank you for inviting me.
32:24Hi.
32:24I do feel that you've put me in a really sh**y position.
32:32Because, like, we were talking about your friend.
32:37Where you was a bit like, oh, she's a bit cringe.
32:56I do feel that you've put me in a really sh**y position.
33:02You know, we were talking about your friend.
33:06She's shady about my cut.
33:08How do you mean shady?
33:09Dora said, oh, she's embarrassing.
33:11She's kind of low class.
33:14She's tacky.
33:16She's faking her lifestyle.
33:21Where you was a bit like, oh, she's a bit cringe.
33:27She's showing up with these walkie talkies.
33:30What's this?
33:31A little gift.
33:32Oh, my God.
33:34Okay.
33:35I love this.
33:36It has to be pink, though.
33:38I wouldn't want my friend to talk about me like that.
33:46Micah's my sister.
33:48I absolutely loved the walkie talkies.
33:52There's no way I wouldn't have a walkie talkie with my best friend.
33:56I think it's great.
33:59I don't think that this conversation's necessary.
34:01And I love you.
34:02You know I do.
34:05I feel like my arse crack has started sweating.
34:08I'm so uncomfortable.
34:09Let's just have some really nice food.
34:11Let's move on.
34:12I mean, what can I do?
34:14Yeah, we're going to have food.
34:16I actually really need the restroom.
34:18Restroom?
34:18I'm American.
34:19No, you're pregnant.
34:20You should use the restroom.
34:23Do you need help?
34:25Yes.
34:27Well, that was stressful.
34:29That was crazy.
34:30Like, what the is she doing?
34:31Why is she saying that?
34:33She said it.
34:34Yeah, I know.
34:34Own it.
34:35What the?
34:35That's making me look crazy now?
34:37No, babe, I know.
34:39Dara is making me look that I'm trying to ruin a friendship,
34:42that I'm lying.
34:44She's just a bit crazy woman.
34:45Just crazy.
34:46Did Micah know about that?
34:47She's looking at me like she's sensing something.
34:50She was really, like, anxious.
34:52She's controlled by her.
34:54Surely she is.
34:56Are you okay?
34:56Absolutely.
34:57How can you be so scared to not have a voice then?
35:00I've never been more embarrassed in my life.
35:02I'm not sure if I need to cry or just, like, go into the fetal position.
35:06Excuse me.
35:08I do believe Missy.
35:10The word cringe is one that Dara uses regularly.
35:13You're like, oh, she's a bit cringe.
35:15And it's an American word.
35:17And I'm just, I just don't understand.
35:19What is going on?
35:20Can someone explain?
35:21I just got here.
35:23Emma walks into this.
35:24I heard you're a .
35:26I was here to watch.
35:30When you're done with that question, do you know?
35:32No.
35:35I'm glad you asked about me.
35:44I'm in absolute disbelief of what is happening.
35:48We have known each other over 24 years.
35:50I mean, I protected her.
35:53And this is what I get.
35:54I just don't recognize my best friend.
35:57I'm going to go check on our feet.
36:01You okay?
36:02Come here.
36:03Come here.
36:03Come sit with us.
36:05This is the naughty corner.
36:06This is where you belong.
36:07Dara didn't want to talk to you.
36:09She's not going to.
36:13I'm really disappointed for Micah that her so-called best friend of 20 years doesn't give her that time.
36:19I just felt like I got really brave and it was like my moment.
36:22I think I should focus on what matters.
36:24Okay.
36:25Looks.
36:26Not that we're ever superficial.
36:27No, no.
36:28You do look amazing.
36:29And that is half the battle.
36:30Half the battle.
36:31I knew something was going to come up.
36:32Because there's no way that everybody I've spoken to thinks that she's an awful person.
36:37And she's just this nice.
36:40Dang.
36:40I don't think I'm made for this, babe.
36:42I'm not made for this.
36:44This is not me.
36:45Like, I love Micah, but she doesn't have, like, my experience of being thrown under a bus.
36:50I did say those things because I just filmed.
36:55All I can say is you never diss someone who has walkie-talkies because it means their boat is big.
37:02No, exactly.
37:02Their home is decidedly sizable.
37:05Ask Emma.
37:06Everyone in the house has walkie-talkies.
37:08You have walkie-talkies?
37:09What color are they?
37:09Black.
37:10Aww.
37:12Bitch.
37:13You're such a basic bitch.
37:15Black walkie-talkie.
37:15I wish they were pink.
37:16How big is your walkie-talkie?
37:18Hey, guys, I'm sorry to interrupt.
37:19Maybe shall we wait for Dara back to the room to tell the story?
37:23I just told it.
37:24But I just told it.
37:25I don't know the background story.
37:27Yeah, but you should.
37:28Maybe you should listen.
37:28The only people who's not here right now is Dara, which apparently the conversation is about her.
37:33I know.
37:33What are you talking about?
37:34Now she's in the room.
37:35Yeah, and I can still see it.
37:35Now you can continue.
37:36That's what I'm asking.
37:37But who want you to tell me what I can do and not do?
37:39Because I'm her freaking friend.
37:40Yeah, and I'm who I am and I have my voice.
37:42I just met you.
37:43If you are speaking about a person with that person in the room, then you are talking about
37:48any people behind their back.
37:50Tell the truth!
38:13Let her be in the room.
38:14Let her be in the room.
38:17Was it said or was it not said, Dara?
38:18I didn't say those things.
38:19You didn't say, so I'm lying.
38:21I did say those things.
38:23Is that what you're saying? I'm lying.
38:25I'm saying that I'm not calling anyone a liar.
38:28I'm not saying anyone bad luck.
38:29Well, it is black or white. It's not gray.
38:33I just want to have a really nice dinner, guys.
38:37I think Dara's a two-faced biatch.
38:40I mean, she seems like she's one of these social climbing women
38:43that will step on anyone to be something that she's not.
38:47I think it would be very flattering to call Dara a social climber
38:50because it suggests that she would have some climbing ability,
38:54which I don't believe she has.
38:56Well, obviously, something has been said,
38:59although she would be so adamant on it.
39:01I didn't say those things.
39:04Do you know, I think in friendship,
39:05it's normal to have differences.
39:08So I think celebrating difference
39:09is probably what tonight should be about.
39:12And that other people don't. No.
39:14Indeed. Precisely.
39:17Don't call me a liar.
39:18That's exactly what I was getting to.
39:20I heard a rumor that you were a madam.
39:24I thought it was an awesome rumor.
39:27Well, I'm an architect.
39:29I spread it.
39:31And I'm sorry.
39:34I love Martha.
39:35But the thing about Martha, she's always too nice.
39:38She's always too nice.
39:39I also think that having a sense of humor
39:41is absolutely fundamental to one's existence.
39:47So, as I told you, I'm an architect.
39:50I run two businesses.
39:51Let's just have an amazing dinner
39:54and just move on.
39:57He's not honest.
39:58But the truth is obvious.
39:59It doesn't matter.
40:01Because it's obvious to everybody.
40:02It doesn't matter.
40:03You don't need to worry about it.
40:04I feel like I'm looking crazy.
40:05It's fine.
40:05I mean, I don't care about that.
40:06But still, I care about that
40:08because I am being authentic.
40:10Stop worrying.
40:10It's okay.
40:10It's okay.
40:15I want to be privy to what Micah thinks and feels.
40:18Absolutely.
40:19I mean, the only person who hasn't spoken yet is Micah,
40:21which I think is absolutely unfair.
40:25Yeah, Micah, please.
40:26I'm not usually so quiet.
40:28You know, I'm hurt to hear that.
40:32I'm stunned a little bit.
40:33Like, it's my best friend.
40:34And then to hear that,
40:35it's like I'm such a loyal friend.
40:38So, that's hard for me.
40:40But I think Darren and I need to probably talk on the side.
40:44I think I always believe in clear communication.
40:46I'm very upfront.
40:47My whole thing is if you can't say it to that person,
40:49you shouldn't say it about them.
40:51I feel like...
40:52She's really upset.
40:53Micah, how do you feel?
40:54Yeah, I'm really upset.
40:55Of course she's upset.
40:56Yeah, I'm...
40:56You guys cut, cut, cut.
41:01Um, I think I need to probably step out of,
41:06I think, being on this TV show.
41:12I'm really sorry to disappoint everybody,
41:16but I just, I don't think this is for me, you know?
41:20You can't leave when you're not getting your own way.
41:23That's like what children do on a bad day.
41:26Just leave.
41:27It's okay.
41:28There's no need to cut anything.
41:29You've already been cut.
41:31This is not for me.
41:33She might as well just be gone.
41:35I'm kind of done with dinner.
41:37I think I just want to go home now.
41:38I don't really feel like there's anything more to discuss.
41:52I have cried more times about Dara than I've ever cried about anything in my life.
41:58It is, I feel like I lost a family member, I lost a friend, I lost trust.
42:02My friendship with Dara is not ever going to be what it was.
42:12Next time on Ladies of London.
42:15So I've booked a trip to winery.
42:18Oh God, it's pouring.
42:19Oh my God.
42:20Welcome to England, darling.
42:22A vineyard in the United Kingdom.
42:24What on earth was Missy expecting?
42:26Cheers, Missy.
42:28I lost my brother very publicly in London.
42:31He got shot.
42:33Oh, that's awful.
42:35When people start opening up too much, I find it disingenuous.
42:38Let's not make it into some sob story.
42:40It is a sob story.
