00:00Has anyone said no to being on royal court?
00:02Uh-huh.
00:04Tons.
00:05You're missing out, man.
00:06Check this s*** out.
00:09That was selling my show.
00:10I don't know if you're buying what I'm putting out there,
00:13but that's all I got.
00:14Brittany.
00:15Yes.
00:15Do you know why you're here today?
00:17Yes, I do.
00:18This is Stephanie, our polygraph operator.
00:20Stephanie, you're a goddess among men.
00:22Are you ready to be hooked up?
00:23I'm ready to be hooked up.
00:24Plug me into the Matrix.
00:30Oh, my God.
00:31I like how it looks like you guys have never cleaned it.
00:34Stephanie, what are we?
00:37Sorry.
00:40I'm going to start by asking a few questions
00:42to get a baseline for the machine.
00:43Okay.
00:44Please answer honestly.
00:45I will try.
00:46Is your real name Brittany Alexis Tomlinson?
00:49Yes, it is.
00:50It's my government name.
00:51Were you born on May 10th?
00:52I was.
00:54Are you about to take a polygraph exam?
00:56I believe I am.
00:57Are you nervous?
00:58No.
01:00Stephanie, are we ready to go?
01:02The machine has been calibrated.
01:04I'm good.
01:07Let's start with your life.
01:10You became an internet sensation
01:12after a TikTok video of you tasting kombucha
01:14for the first time went viral.
01:16Be honest.
01:17Do you wish you had a different origin story?
01:20You don't want to know.
01:22No, because that was the landing.
01:24It was the trampoline.
01:25So, I'm thankful.
01:26If it's mentioned in the first line
01:28of your future obituary,
01:30would you be upset?
01:31I'd kill myself again.
01:33How would you like it to begin then?
01:35She was born at a very young age.
01:38Heaven approves.
01:41You became the face of countless memes
01:43after that video.
01:44Do you have a folder on your computer
01:46where you store all the memes of yourself?
01:47I do not have a folder on my computer
01:49where I store memes of myself.
01:51I more so store edits of men
01:54and House of the Dragon, mainly.
01:57Sometimes how to train your dragon.
01:59A lot of dragon crossover in my edits folder.
02:02Has there been a meme of yourself
02:03that made you cringe?
02:04Oh, millions.
02:06Totally.
02:07Can you give me an example of one?
02:09I mean, there's the classic, like,
02:11anything with the kombucha meme
02:12of, like, me win pizza.
02:14And I'm like, this can't be my legacy.
02:17This cannot be what my life was.
02:21Stephanie?
02:22She has been truthful this entire time.
02:25I'm a Christian.
02:28I'm not.
02:29You worked in wealth management
02:31before pursuing a career in entertainment.
02:33I did.
02:33Do you think that makes you smarter
02:34than most people in Hollywood?
02:37Yeah.
02:40That was truthful.
02:42What do you know that they don't?
02:43I just had a real job.
02:45That's all that is.
02:46I've made, like, $38,000 a year
02:48and been, like, ramen again Sunday night.
02:50So, like, doing this now,
02:52it's like, all this could go away tomorrow
02:53and I'd be like, that was awesome.
02:54Did your financial experience
02:56give you a leg up in negotiating brand deals?
02:59Absolutely not.
03:01Have you ever turned down a brand deal?
03:03Oh, tons.
03:04For what?
03:05Any number of reasons.
03:06They wanted to make me say something stupid
03:08and more stupid than I'm willing to go.
03:11Not enough money.
03:13Too much money.
03:14That's one they don't talk about
03:16because usually when it's too much money,
03:17there's one billion asks
03:19and I'm not going to do that.
03:21Brands are evil.
03:22I think it has to, you know,
03:24lesser of two evils.
03:25It has to align.
03:26There's so many reasons.
03:27So all money is not good money?
03:28All money is blood money,
03:30ultimately, in Hollywood.
03:32Do friends ever come to you
03:33for investment advice?
03:34For investment advice, no.
03:36And I don't know what that says about me
03:38and my investments.
03:39For any other advice?
03:41Yeah, totally.
03:42Like dating and, um,
03:45thin hair.
03:47Thin hair queens out there.
03:49Seriously, come to me.
03:50Let me know.
03:51And brands?
03:52And brands.
03:53Yes.
03:54Thin hair brands.
03:55Please, give me some supplements.
03:58You were fired from your wealth management job
04:00after going viral.
04:02Be honest.
04:02Were you offered severance
04:04when they let you go?
04:05No.
04:05So in Texas,
04:07they have this thing,
04:08it's an at-will employment state,
04:10which means within the first 90 days,
04:12they could fire you
04:13because you're ugly
04:14and hard to look at
04:15and you couldn't sue them.
04:16So they fired me on the 89th day.
04:19Were there any coworkers
04:20who walked out in protest of your fiery?
04:22All my coworkers were 50 plus,
04:24so I don't think they knew who I was.
04:26Do you keep in touch with any of them?
04:28No.
04:29Stephanie?
04:30She is being truthful.
04:31Do you have anything against them?
04:33Yeah, fuck the bank.
04:36You could have made
04:37the marketing choice of your life
04:38if you kept me on
04:39and had me do,
04:40me when I invest?
04:41Me when I,
04:42like, come on.
04:42You missed the mark.
04:44On your podcast,
04:45The Broski Report,
04:46you frequently vent about the people
04:47you match with on dating apps.
04:49I do?
04:50And you once changed
04:51your dating application to Ireland.
04:53I did do that.
04:54I did do that.
04:55Were you just hoping
04:56to match with this man?
04:59And you picked the picture
05:00where he has the vampire things in as well.
05:01It's kind of mean.
05:03He's not Irish.
05:04He's got Irish on his,
05:05one of his parents' side,
05:06and I know that
05:06because I'm psychotic.
05:07He's from Dalby.
05:09He's from fucking Dalby.
05:10Jack O'Connell,
05:11can I tell a story?
05:13That's Stephanie backing up here.
05:15I met him,
05:16drunk,
05:17at the Vanity Fair after party,
05:19and I went up to him
05:20and I said,
05:21hey man,
05:22I was just going to say,
05:23I loved you
05:24and SAS Rogue Heroes
05:25and you're freaking awesome sinners.
05:27And I also liked the part
05:28of SAS Rogue Heroes.
05:29Started telling him
05:30the plot of his own show.
05:31He said,
05:33thanks,
05:33and then kind of turned away
05:35and I said,
05:35yeah,
05:35I would have done that too.
05:36So Jack O'Connell,
05:37look,
05:38I would like to apologize
05:39for that night.
05:40I know you and I
05:40are probably going to hang out soon
05:41with the trajectory of my life
05:43and how this shit goes down.
05:44Because I also have that clip
05:45of when I said,
05:46if I ever met Aaron Taylor Johnson,
05:47I'd rip my shirt open
05:48and wipe my butt
05:49and like sniff it
05:50and pass out.
05:51And then I did end up meeting him
05:52and having him on my show.
05:53So the same shit's going to happen
05:54with Jack O'Connell.
05:55And I'm getting horny
05:56looking at that photo,
05:56so I'm going to give that back to you.
05:58You did end up dating an Irish man
06:00who eventually Irish exited your life.
06:03I did.
06:04Do you feel like that was on brand?
06:06Yeah, 100%.
06:06And dating is a stretch.
06:08We sent a few messages
06:10back and forth
06:10and that was enough
06:11for him to call it.
06:12So.
06:13Have you ever ghosted somebody?
06:15No,
06:15I don't believe I have.
06:17Stephanie?
06:17That was inconclusive.
06:21Maybe I have.
06:22Sorry.
06:23I got busy.
06:25Do you think ghosting is immature?
06:27Yeah.
06:28That's why I'm sorry.
06:29I've grown.
06:30Are you still on dating apps?
06:32No, I'm not.
06:33I couldn't fucking do it anymore.
06:34So you're not on Raya?
06:36I'm not on Raya.
06:37She is telling the truth.
06:38Yeah, I got waitlisted for Raya.
06:40Ho!
06:41I don't want to match with John Mayer.
06:42Everyone matches with John Mayer.
06:44I wanted to match with John Mayer.
06:45That's me coping.
06:48Let's move on to your career.
06:51You host the talk show Royal Court,
06:53which features interview questions
06:54and British accents.
06:57Were you tempted to include chicken in your show
06:59to compete with these two people?
07:02Yeah, I crossed my mind.
07:04It flitted across my desk.
07:06But I couldn't come up with a new inventive way,
07:08so I said,
07:08what if I just harass celebrities?
07:10Which is what they also do.
07:12We all harass celebrities in a different flavor.
07:15Sean is recently going viral for flirting
07:17and perhaps pursuing one of his former guests,
07:20Kiki Palmer.
07:20I hope they get together.
07:22So you don't think that is unprofessional behavior?
07:24No, God no.
07:25Because when I start flirting with Jack O'Connell
07:26when he comes on the show,
07:27I don't want to hear it.
07:28I hope my fans would be supportive.
07:30You know what I mean?
07:31I'm supporting Sean and his endeavor.
07:34Sorry.
07:35I'm so sorry.
07:36After a taping of Royal Court,
07:38have you ever felt you flirted too much?
07:40No.
07:41Unless it's like with Caleb Heron.
07:43It doesn't count.
07:44Because we are in love.
07:46That's not flirting.
07:46It's just like a public display of affection
07:48at that point.
07:49Have you ever flirted too little?
07:54No.
07:55I'm a professional.
07:56I don't know what you're trying to get me here.
07:57Stephanie?
07:58She is telling the truth.
08:00Have you ever wanted to pursue
08:02one of your former guests?
08:03Yeah.
08:05Care to share?
08:06No.
08:07You've had many high-profile guests
08:09on Royal Court.
08:10Are there any guest pitches
08:11that you've said no to?
08:12Oh, tons.
08:13Care to share any of those names?
08:15No.
08:16Not at this time.
08:17Has anyone said no
08:18to being on Royal Court?
08:20Uh-huh.
08:21Tons.
08:22Is there anything you'd like to say
08:24to them on camera?
08:25You're missing out, man.
08:26Check this shit out.
08:28That was selling my show.
08:30I don't know if you're buying
08:31what I'm putting out there,
08:32but that's all I got.
08:33You hosted the Vanity Fair Oscar party.
08:35I did.
08:36Red carpet this year.
08:37Would you host a live stream again?
08:42Yes.
08:43I learned a lot.
08:44I would do it again,
08:45and I'd come at it with
08:47bright eyes and a bushy tail.
08:49In your Vanity Fair Oscar party debrief,
08:51you said you talked to a bunch of guys
08:53once you were inside the party,
08:54which you admitted to just earlier.
08:56Were you hoping that it would lead
08:58to a meet-cute?
08:59Oh, 100%.
09:01100%.
09:01Did it?
09:02No.
09:03You also said that you were embarrassed
09:04to meet two victims of your fan fiction.
09:08Yeah.
09:09Did the night feel like one big apology tour?
09:11That entire night was a humiliation ritual
09:13from beginning to end,
09:14and I wouldn't change it for anything.
09:16Is that why you ended the night, quote,
09:18drunk and barefoot?
09:21Yes.
09:23Stephanie?
09:24That was truthful.
09:26Is there anything you would do differently?
09:28Probably would have brought some flats,
09:30because getting home after having
09:32around 48 margaritas,
09:34and the bottom of my feet were just black.
09:37And I was like,
09:37who did this to me?
09:38Me.
09:39It was me.
09:41Let's move on to pop culture.
09:43This person, Harry Styles,
09:45recently played you a song
09:47from his latest album.
09:48Yeah.
09:49You loved it.
09:49I did.
09:50But Pitchfork gave it a 5.6 out of 10.
09:52Yeah, that's horrible.
09:53Do you think you're too biased
09:55to give him an honest review,
09:56considering you wrote fan fiction about him?
09:58Yeah, probably.
10:01Speaking of fan fiction,
10:03you let this person read a piece
10:05you wrote about him
10:06when he was on your show.
10:07I've seen enough.
10:09Did you redact any parts of the story
10:11before giving it to him?
10:12We did select what he could read from that.
10:14You're not seeing the lost tapes.
10:16Were the redacted portions
10:17not safe for work?
10:19Not so much NSFW,
10:21but not safe for living
10:24on the internet for forever.
10:25You gotta keep some things personal.
10:27That's my art we're talking about here.
10:28My art.
10:30And Cole enjoyed it, by the way.
10:32It looks like she's telling the truth.
10:35Do you think with the rise
10:36of romanticcy and pop culture,
10:38you have some red-hot IP on your hands?
10:41I say this
10:42with all the love in my heart.
10:44I don't know if there's a market
10:46for Colt Sproul's fan fiction.
10:48I might be the only seller
10:49and the only buyer.
10:50But you never know.
10:50We could test it.
10:51I'd have to redact some things.
10:53The biggest thing in romanticcy this year
10:55was heated rivalry.
10:57Yet the show's stars
10:58have not made an appearance
10:59on royal court.
11:01Care to make a comment?
11:02Yeah, we're waiting for season two.
11:03They got so damn busy.
11:05So they told you they were too busy.
11:07Okay, see how she's putting words in my mouth?
11:10No, we are having them on for season two.
11:13Okay.
11:14You have a strong fan base
11:15that you call the Bruschi Nation.
11:16They are the Bruschi Nation.
11:18Has there ever been a moment
11:19that you questioned
11:20whether they would continue to support you?
11:22Well, from the beginning,
11:23I've been like,
11:23what about this flavor of insanity
11:25is resonating?
11:27And then I stopped questioning it
11:29because I'm like,
11:29you know what?
11:30Hell yeah.
11:30Would you say they are
11:31the most loyal fan base?
11:33They're pretty damn loyal.
11:34The most, no,
11:35because Swifties and K-pop exist.
11:37Let's get those numbers up, guys.
11:39You're not standing me
11:40the way that we need to be
11:41kind of in the headlines.
11:42You guys need to be
11:43doing some freak shit.
11:44I'd like to amp it up.
11:46Do you think having a guest on
11:47that they didn't like
11:48could affect your standing with them?
11:51Yeah, absolutely.
11:53Do you think they'd be okay
11:54if you had this person on the show?
11:57I don't know who that is.
11:59Stephanie?
12:00She is being truthful
12:01about not knowing who that is.
12:03And he's got dandruff on his coat.
12:06That is Pete Hegseth,
12:08Secretary of Defense.
12:11I'm not really doing
12:12government officials right now.
12:14Peter, I'm so sorry.
12:16Actually, I'm not.
12:17You need a lint roller.
12:20What about this person?
12:24We have the same hairline.
12:26Yeah, I love him.
12:27Love him and Kate.
12:28Would your fans approve
12:29of him on the show?
12:30I don't know.
12:31We've never dabbled
12:32in actual royals
12:33on royal courts.
12:34He might be a good place to start
12:35or Harry and Meghan.
12:37Is it too on the nose?
12:38No, I don't think so.
12:40Do you have firm boundaries
12:41with your fans?
12:42Do I have firm boundaries?
12:43Yeah, I do.
12:44Do fans ever ask you
12:45to do the kombucha face
12:46for photos?
12:47Not anymore.
12:48Because I threaten
12:49a life in jail.
12:51If someone says,
12:52I'm your biggest fan,
12:53do the kombucha face,
12:55I'm swatting their house.
12:57You're not a fan of mine.
12:58Have you ever gotten
12:59any blowback
12:59for rejecting them?
13:01No.
13:01Because I haven't had
13:02to pull that out yet.
13:03It hasn't happened
13:03since like 2019,
13:05honestly.
13:06And then you do it.
13:07Yeah, of course I did it.
13:07And you want to know why?
13:08Because I was at the pub.
13:09I was at the bar
13:10and they were like,
13:11do the face,
13:11I'll give you a free shot.
13:12Hey, obviously I blacked out.
13:14I was, well, well, well, well,
13:16all night.
13:17As a former fan yourself,
13:19do you ever worry
13:19about fans developing
13:20too much of a parasocial
13:22relationship with you?
13:23Too late.
13:24Completely too late.
13:25Already there.
13:26I once opened
13:27a comment section
13:28on a video
13:29that I had not posted.
13:30It was someone else's video.
13:32And there was
13:32a full-blown war
13:34in the comments
13:34about she said
13:35her PCOS diagnosis
13:37was full of honesty.
13:39I wish more people
13:40talked about having PCOS.
13:42It was that.
13:43Like people were like,
13:44actually,
13:45her thinning hair
13:45is a symptom.
13:47People ride for me, dude.
13:48And it's that shit
13:49where I'm like,
13:49they're arguing
13:50about my medical diagnoses.
13:52There's no going back
13:53from that.
13:53How did you feel
13:54reading those comments?
13:55Bad.
13:56Bad?
13:56Yeah.
13:57Sometimes I'm like,
13:57maybe I don't have to say
13:59every thought that comes
13:59to my mind.
14:00Did you like any
14:01of the comments?
14:01Yeah, obviously.
14:03Have you ever DM'd a fan
14:04telling them how much
14:05you appreciate their defense?
14:07Never.
14:07I won't involve myself
14:08in that way.
14:10Stephanie?
14:10The machine is picking
14:11up some deception.
14:13The machine can go fuck itself,
14:15to be completely honest.
14:17So you never DM'd a fan?
14:19Just in general?
14:20Yeah, I've DM'd a fan.
14:22And you want to know
14:23the most recent fan
14:23that I was DMing
14:24back and forth with?

14:30like Mandalorian fan fiction,
14:32Mandalorian phone case,
14:33Mandalorian throw blanket.

14:35I had a fan DM me and say,
14:37look, if you're into
14:38that childish shit,
14:39let me put you on
14:40some AO3 fan fiction.

14:44She recommended me
14:45a Mandalorian fan fiction
14:46that, it put me on a list.
14:48We had a back and forth.
14:50And she was like,

15:01Final question.
15:02Did you lie at any point
15:03during this lie detector test

15:20was clueless.
