I was at Laruge and we were doing this whole
women's Entrepreneurship and real Estate panel. So shout out to
Benedict who brought me out there. It was packed in there.
A lot of people came out who want to learn
about real estate and investing. It was great. I had
a great time in Nork. Okay, don't you do yesterday?

South Carolina talking about that Geeche gotta culture. You know
he's saying. Now, he's saying, boy box you and your
mot boy. Didn't anybody watch Basketball Wives last night? I

(01:49):
didn't watch that, No way, no way at watch that.
I didn't get home til like eleven thirty, and I
was like, you know how it reruns. I was like,
I watched the beginning of the game. Who won the game?
Last night? I fell asleep? Was one last like one
nineteen one oh six. I'll give you the details next.
When I watched it in the first quarter, Houston was one. Yeah, no,
it was busting the ass for a little bit. But
I think they finished the quarter up one, and then

(02:09):
they finished the second quarter. They were doing good in
adult quarter. Oh by the second quarter, I was over.
Oh yeah, I was out. I was snoring by a
second quarter. Done. Yeah. I was with the kiddies all day.
You know, Like I said, my nanny is not here.
She has two more weeks that she gets back. So
it's really dad, yes to countdown. So he is doing
one thing with the older ones, and I'm with the
younger ones. It's a lot of fun. I have a

(02:30):
lot of fun with the babies. So maybe not even
bother having a nanny come back. Now. I'm tired. It's
called parenting. I'm tired. I'm tired. We got five I'm tired,
all right, But let's let's get the show cracking. Jennifer
Lewis will be joining us. Black Mother of Hollywood, drop
on Black Hollywood, Black Holly a black mother of Hollywood,
same difference, mother of Black Hollywood. She's still black and

(02:52):
she's still a mother, and it's still Hollywood. You got
it all there, Yes, And also Baron Davis and Paul
Pierce of course, X and BA players. We're kicking with
them this morning as well. Let we got front page news.
What we're talking about you, we will be talking about
the black student he tells you about who got interrogated
for falling asleep. And she's a Yale student and will
tell you what she has to say. Now she thinks

(03:12):
should happen to the student who called the police on her.
All right, And I think it's the season finale a
black es tonight, if I'm not mistaken. Yes, So yeah,
Jennifer Loser is right on time, all right, So we'll
get into all that. Keep a lockis to breakfast club.
Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne
the guy. We are the breakfast club. Let's getting some
front page news now. NBA last night, like we said,

(03:33):
Golden State Warriors beat the Houston Rockets one nineteen, one
oh six. It was close to first half and the
second half Kevin Duran just was like, I'm gonna stop
playing with you guys, and he was busting the ass.
I don't think he missed anything in the second half.
He was busting ass last night. So Golden State leads
one oh in that series of Calves played the Boston
Celtics tonight at eight thirty. Now, let's talk about that
black student that was I guess they called the cops

(03:56):
on because she was taking a nap. Yes, Sarah Brash
as the person who actually called the cops and complained
about her. And what happened was, if you guys don't
remember the story, Lola Day Siambola was taking an app
She's a Yale student and the woman Sarah called the police. Now,
the video shows police questioning her for nearly twenty minutes

(04:17):
to manny that she proved her enrollment even though she
had already unlocked her dorm room door in front of them.
And here's what you had to say on Good Morning America.
Because she does feel like Sarah should be held accountable
for just calling the police on somebody just because they're black.
I don't think that if I looked differently that it
would have gone any further than that. Someone who uses
the police in the way that Sarah used the police

(04:38):
should be held accountable. There needs to be punitive measures
for people who you know, act out of racially motivated
you know, bias. None of this is really new. If
she was white, Sarah would have woke her up and said, hey,
do you need a Pillowiambola said that she was aware
of at least one other incident where Sarah had also

(04:59):
called the police on another black student, and another black
graduate student said that the same woman called the police
on him about a month ago as well. So they're
saying their situations are examples of racial bias within the
university's police system. And I agree. If this person just
keeps on calling the police on you just because you're
a black student and questioning whether or not you're supposed
to be there, then yes, there should be some type

(05:20):
of disciplinary action. Could somebody tells Sara that black people
are at Yale and not just in a worker capacity.
Somebody tells Sara that it's funny. I just got a
tweet from a guy named Mike the Blossie, and he
told me to go f myself because every time he
turns on the radio, I'm saying something prejudice. And I'm like, no,
every time you turn on the radio, it's something prejudice happening,
and it's me speaking out against it. Okay, all right,

(05:41):
that's super duper sad. Well, there's been another incident on
Southwest Airlines that jet had to make an emergency landing
of all beekend. This is the third incident. Don't feel
sorry for nobody involved. Why because of Southwest. Charlomagne almost
killed us. He Charlomagne put us on a Southwest never
and oh my gosh, like well, there was a pressurization
issue during the flight and the oxygen masks popped out

(06:03):
and everything. They were traveling from Denver to Dallas on
Saturday night and the cabin began to lose pressure. So
that's the third known scare in the past month on
south Glass. Now, by the way, if you walk on
Southwest and you can pick your own seats, when the
oxygen masks fall from the ceiling, do you pick anyone
you want? Anyone? You grab anyone when you guys never
have to deal with those oxygen masks. And they tell

(06:24):
you when you have those masks, if you have kids
on the flight with first, put yours on first, and
then I can guarantee you there's no oxygen in the
mask on Southwest. All right, you're just masks. Put them
on to kill yourself. Oh my goodness, all right, and
that's front page news. Get it off your chest. Eight
undred five eight five one oh five one. If you're upset.
You need to vent hit us up right now, maybe

(06:44):
at a bad night, bad morning, whatever it may be.
Or maybe you're scared to fly on Southwest? Wow? Yeah?
Who hate you? Yeah? Who hate you? In if you
want to spread some positivity? Eight hundred five A five
one oh five one is to breakfast club. Good morning,
the breakfast Club. Did your time to get it off

(07:05):
your chests, whether you're mad or blast so we better
have the same energy. We want to hear from you
on the breakfast club before we go to the phone calls.
I want to say I'm mad because I didn't know
Disney was that expensive. You know, Disney is super duper expensive.
Get a hook. Oh my gosh. Now you know my
kids turned five and four next month, and I was like,
I'm gonna take its time to take him to Disney.

(07:26):
So the price of Disney, I'd rather go to an
island than go to Orlando. No disrespect to Orlando, but
I'd rather go to an island and play all that
money for Disney. Disney's expensive as ish. Well, I wouldn't know.
I've never been. Why are you just figuring this out? Man,
I don't know. What did you think Disney was I don't.
I'm thinking it's a Lando year. The flights is like

(07:46):

gonna go to an island because I'm sorry kids, their
kids want to go to Disney World. I'm gonna put

(08:06):
on a Donald Duck costume on Mickey Mouse Council because
Disney's too expensive. It's, by the way, it's very expensive
when you got five children. Okay, I only got two,
so don't don't say don't jump out the window like
it's super expensive for everybody you get seventy yards. Well,
I'm gonna say three children because two is gonna be
under the age were getting free. They both gonna be one.
They let people in free Disney. I think so. I
don't think so. No, not even if you're one too.

(08:28):
If you want, I don't remember that problem that wow,
because I'm definitely gonna say they want to get on
the flight because I know if they under one, they
fly free, so they definitely gonna be under one. One
one kids do not look like they're under one. Who
can prove that my kids are not under one? You
can look at them. Nope, they're walking around going to school.

for the last my YouTube of you have to Build
I just got with eight hundred and twenty six dollars.
I live in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Right now, I
go to work from six o'clock in the morning to
six in the evening. My lady goes to work from
eight o'clock in the morning. At eight o'clock in the evening,
there's nobody in the house. While my light bill is
eight hundred and twenty six dollars. I'm not short. So
I did some research North Carolina, and everybody listening that

(10:14):
lives in Elizabeth City, Church, South North Carolina. They denied
the software that will fix this problem because they could
not go in there and manually change the meter readings
for the system without any back trade. So there was
a new company called Edmonds out of New Jersey who
was going to fix this problem, but Elizabeth City, North
Carolina declined it for this reason. Now, if anybody else
in this area, if y'all got this problem, and y'all

(10:36):
got four, five, six, eight hundred dollar life fills, go
up to the utility company, ask them with demand that
you get a meter reading by a professional by professional worker,
and they have to give you an accurate meeting reader meeting,
but they're not gonna it's not gonna be the same
at the end of the month. You have to add
those up and then if it does not match, go
up there for reimbursement because they owe you money. That's

(10:59):
a whole rent, that's whole rent on utility, that's a
whole that's a whole I love this type of information
or good information to give out this morning. Absolutely y'all
don't get you all right, good luck, bro, all right,

twelfth when the seventeen. His name is Faith and Fable Smith. Um,
he's in a better place. But I took all the
negative and entry having the side of me and opened
up on what space for pace called Houston on soft pomicide.
That's Houston on soft pomicide. People in Houston reaching out

(12:52):
to me to get some time of some type of
aide or I'll say closure to the murders that are
happened in Houston without young black and let you know,
kids in the streets. Oh, I like that. That's like
a safe that's like a safe space to snitch. Right.
I don't like that. I don't like that word shitch
when it comes to stuff like this, but you know
what I mean, it's a safe space to tell on

(13:13):
people that are out here killing folks. Well, if you
get out, how would you feel if your child going
to school and someone grab your child and kidnap your child,
murdering your child. This is something positive in the community
and trying to get the streets cleaned up. The police
they're not really out there doing what they need to
do to get these people off the streets. And it's

(13:33):
time for the community to get together and start forming
together as one. Absolutely in the street cleaned up. Is
that what happened when she was kidnapped? No, he was
twenty two years old in college. He was shot. That'd
be the problem with the community. Though. Somebody will get shot,
nobody will tell who shot the person. That shooter goes
back into the community and shoots more people. Yes, and

(13:56):
you're one hundred percent correct. So this this space for
space Shooston. I'm soft homicide. People are reaching out, um,
just putting that they loved one's picture on the site.
Just hopefully one day someone can say, you know what,
I've seen something or heard something I know about this client.
You got them right, hey man, hey, it is what
it is. Also also went to the City and Hall

thank everybody to the heating, and I thank you guys
having in the radio station today and I really love
you guys, and thank you for all you're doing for
everybody in America. Thank you, brother. Good luck. I don't
want to call it. I don't want to call it
a safe space to snitch, a safe space to crime,
solve the crime, solf, a safe space to provide information. Yeah,

(14:37):
you know, absolutely get it over eight hundred five eight
five one on five one. If you need to vent,
you can hit this up. Or if you want to
spread some positivity you can't as well. Now we've got
rooms all the way. Well, we'll start with some positivity

this to Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Holding
everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy the
Breakfast Club, and shout out to Quest Leve. I just
got a copy of his book, Creative Quests, so I'm
excited to read that. All right, I want to read that.

(15:20):
I got that. I didn't know that was a real book, Joseph,
somebody said that made the cover out. Okay, all right,
well let's get to the rooms. Let's talk to Rogie.
She's filling the team. This is the rumor report with
Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Were congratulations to to

(15:43):
Rogie p Hen since she is engaged to Kelvin Hayden. Now,
she posted, he started with the Cardier love bracelet, but
that was my Mother's Day gift and then he drived
to his knee and I almost passed out. And then
she wrote she is officially off the market and she
is so happy. God is drop bombs for Calvin Hayden
taking that queen off the market. Yeah, Concrance, smart move, sir. Yeah,

(16:06):
so that's exciting. And she posted, Hubby bear, you have
made me the happiest woman on the planet Earth. I
promise to love you in this life and the after.
I love you deep, and I promise to protect your heart.
Just treat it better than Lucia's my brother. That's all
you gotta do. Well, as long as Lucius if he
would have treated her better, from the beginning. She treated
Lucious really well in the beginning. Yeah, she went to

(16:26):
jail for him and everything she posed to know. Whoa anyway,
all right, Amber Rose, she still loves twenty one Savage now.
She did a post for twenty one Savage. I love
this man so much. I know the Internet portrays me
to be some heartless person or they feel like I'm
incapable of love, but I love him so hard. He's
not only one of the most talented people I have
ever met, but he is so real, humble, and smart

(16:47):
as hell. I don't care who you see me in
a picture with or who the Internet associates me with,
because the Internet is fake af and they post stories
out of their asses for clickbait. It's the price of fame,
I guess. But it's not real life, because in real life,
Shay is my heart and soul. He's the only one
that has ever supported my slut walk in my feminist views.
But no f's given. He loves my son, and I

(17:09):
love his three beautiful children so much. God brings people
in your life for a reason, and God brought me him.
I don't care if you call me thirsty a whole
a gold digger or whatever. I love him. Put your
pride to the side and tell the person you really
love how much they mean to you today, because life
is too short to care about what anyone else says.
And did the great twenty one reply Please tell me,
he replied, I like hot sauce on my chicken. Well

(17:31):
you know he did. He posted a picture of himself
and he put you crushed me once. It's f you
for life. God damn it. I love that young man
now they say it. Am Rolls posted that because there
was a picture of her and little Purp and they
said she was there was a little pump, a little pump,
little somebody got a little in front of him. Heaby
a little white boy something, little something with tattoos to

(17:53):
our bust at the Rolling lou Festival and she was
lighting his cigarettes. Oh I saw that picture. Yeah, and
it was saying that she was dating him, and I
think that's why she posted dropped one a clue bomb
for twenty one. You stick to your guns, and you
remember your last name is savage. All right, all right,
well we still have more. Nicky Belle and John Cena.
John Cen it was on the Today Show and he
Misses his ex fiance. They had broken up, and here's

(18:16):
what he had to say. I had my heartbroken out
of nowhere, and anyone who's experienced that knows that it
comes with a series of bad feelings. I've looked at
myself every day and I've tried to evaluate myself and
the woman that I love. And for anyone out there
is speculating on like what I'm doing with my life now,
I still love Nicole. I still would love to marry Nicole.

(18:37):
I still would love to have a family with Nicole.
There was an unfortunate set of circumstances where our relationship ended.
Why are you sound like that? Well, Nicky Bella gave
a very twenty one savage response to this when she
was asked about it. Here's what she said. I have hope,
and I think it's just I met a point in
my life where I feel like I kind of lost
me and I want to find me and work on me.

(18:58):
And I just want, on a night vote to live
you know, happily ever after, whether it's together, separate, and
I just don't want us to go like down the
road in life and have regrets of like, you know,
I did this for you or you did this for me,
and so I think it's okay in relationships to take
that moment. I just the day say my vows. I
want to say them once and I want to fully

(19:19):
meet them. And so that's what made me hesitant for Meg. Yeah,
that's basically nicky way of saying, I'm going through my
whole phase. Okay, I'm about to go. I'm about to
go part taking three to four other penises and Dan,
maybe i'll be back. I don't know. I don't know
if something happened between the two of them, or he
did something that she's now having some regrets. Who knows
she's going to sleep with other guys. I don't know.

(19:40):
I'm telling you that I can hit enough voice. That's
what every other word. Man, I'm going to give some
other penis. Okay, when I get these other penises, I'll
be right back to you. John Cena, Okay, okay, char right,
you know what I'm saying. Oh well, okay, haven't had
my greet yet. Let me alone, please imagine, And I
guess that's even more hot sauce. And you're all right,

(20:01):
all right? When we come back right back from black

her when we come back. Tonight is the season finale

I got more talented than my little told than anyway.
I I'm kidding. Okay, let's get that right now. Cut that.
I don't want my peers to think I think I'm
better than everybody, but I do. Um. Yeah, So I

(21:51):
was sitting in my backyard. You know, I come from poverty,
so I saved my money so I wouldn't have to
need too much. You know what I mean, I'm gonna
out for female anyway, what was I? Yeah, So I
was pruning my roses and I said, I'm gonna I'm
gonna retire. I walked over to a twenty five cent

(22:13):
wheel barrel that I had bought at a garage sale,
and it's full of geraniums, and I said out loud,
not even me can stop me. I gave up many
times in my life, but I didn't quit. You gotta
be in it to win it. You gotta stay up.
I wrote that book for the millennials because I saw

(22:35):
him lay down in the streets. But there's a beat
they miss. You gotta feel your feelings. If you're feeling hopeless,
feel that whatever you're feeling, feel your feelings, then move
because you'll carry the rage with you, You'll carry the
confusion with you, You'll carry the chaos with you, and

(22:56):
then we don't get anything done. Feel your feelings. They
are shooting our babies. Yeah, I heard you. You're very passionate.
Did you feel like all the players should be kneeling?
I want them to all go down at the same time.
If you take away America's fun, these are the great
warriors of our time, These are the gladiators. You gotta

(23:18):
go down. No great great great great grandmother went down
on two knees and her hands. She wasn't just picking cotton.
She was raped while she was doing it. So with
the ABC episode of Blackish that they didn't air, which
was about the kneeling, what was the reading they didn't
air it? You know, I gotta tell you something. I

(23:39):
wasn't around, but all of that, so I'm not gonna
speak to it because I don't know what happened, but
we all know what happened. It was too much. It
could have been you know, the temperature and the temperament
of the country where it might have been too delicate.
But I don't understand ABC is you know, let us
say everything else and address all these you know, needed

(24:01):
modern day issues that people can walk away from the
television and sit down and discuss. There's a lot of
depression in this country. The in word police brutality. Can
your Barriss sits at the helm of the show. He's brilliant,
He's a young genius. I admire him so much. So
I don't really know what happened with Disney or ABC,

(24:24):
but with what's going on in this country right now,
they might want to speak to it all. And if
it was about the kneeling, let me tell you something.
These basketball, football, baseball, I don't care what you play.
You are a gladiator. We pay your rent. You have
to honor what's going on. They're pulling our babies over

(24:46):
and blowing their heads off. And you're gonna run around
and throw a ball or hit a ball, and they're
pulling your sign over. I don't care who you went.
I don't care if you were a white woman. The
baby might look white. You gotta enter black. They blocked
and they gonna kill them. And you go to work
and throw a ball around. How you go to bed

(25:06):
when your son is out in the street going to
the club. What made you decide to write this memoir
and tell all these stories? Because it is something that
as I was reading it, I read so many memoirs
from men who tell all of these stories about themselves.
But it's very rare that I read women telling stories
like this. I wrote this book first of all for me,

(25:26):
but then I wrote it for the next generation because
I want them to know that no matter what, you
can come through the fire. You gotta love yourself if
you want to come through the fire. I have an expression,
I say, love yourself so that love will not be
a stranger when it comes, and it will come if
you take care of yourself self care. I'm stressing self

(25:49):
care out on the road. Tell all them black women
stop eating fry chicken every day. You used to do
that too. You talk about it in the book. You
used to chicken every day. You know stone nuts, but
you gotta stop. You gotta get sick and tired of
being sick and tired. You gotta stop, you know, sitting
in those rooms. You know I was, I'm bipolar. I'm bipolar.

(26:10):
Still I had to take my man, and my daughter
was like, you got your man's head. I want to
talk about it. I got it in this morning. When
did you first realize you had a bipolar disorder? Okay?
So here it is real fast the book. Born and
raised in poverty. I'm the baby of seven children, so
I didn't get a lot of attention. So I spent
my childhood going see me, see me, and then that
turned into see me, see me at lasted a long time,

(26:36):
and then it turned into the deep. Oh you gonna
see me, bitches, and they saw me. But look at this,
you get tired. It's a mask. I mean, I was
talented at hell, and I had a good heart, but
I was sick and I didn't want to admit it.

(26:57):
So they came down after I got my ass in therapy.
It's a journey, y'all. It's called the journey within. That's
what my friend said to me. She said, Jenny, there's
no greater journey than the journey within. I went there
as a journey with it. It sounded exciting, so I
took it. So I opened up my palms and I

(27:18):
educated myself. And now y'all want to know what my
hands are doing. Hi's everybody. Yes, I'm Jennifer Louis. That's
why I haven't Saint Louis. Actually I'm from a little
small town called Kinlock, Missouri, all black. It was one
of the first all black, self governed townships in America.

(27:38):
So I was born and raised there. You see. So
this little town sits on the border of Ferguson, Missouri.
I come on now, So even as a little girl,
I was warned never to go to Ferguson alone. So
when it exploded, I wasn't surprised. But see, and here's

(27:59):
the power and the glory. Ferguson had a movie theater,
and Ken Locke did not. Now you think I was
gonna let white folks back there keep me from my dream.
I would go over to every Saturday morning. My mother
would have killed me if she no not go over there.
Get my little popcorn, sit up in the balcony and
imagine myself on the silver screen. And now sixty eight

(28:20):
movies later, four hundred and fifty two episodic television shows,
four Broadway shows, and concerts all over the world. Don't
with me. I was gonna ask you, you know, did
you feel like the bipolar hinted you any in the business?
But clearly not did it? Well, here's the thing, the mania, understand,
Bipolar is manic behavior. That's that cousin at the family

(28:43):
reunion up on top of the table, drunk cousin with
his fans down. So that's bipolar. You don't have to
go and say you think you bipolar. He's bipolar. The
other polar is depression. Now listen very carefully to me,
bipolar disorder. The mania is the rush. It's dangerous, it's rageful,

(29:07):
and it's out of control. It worked for me on stage,
but baby, when the curtain comes down, Oh you want
to talk black and dark and sad and lonely. You
hide in a dark room, eat yourself to death, sleep
yourself to death, get high yourself to death. And then

(29:30):
you missed that one line in the Constitution, the pursuit
of happiness. So what sustained me was having a passion.
We have more with Jennifer Lewis from black Ish, So
don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the Breakfast
Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlemagne the guy.

(29:54):
We are the Breakfast Club. Now from black Ish, we
have Jennifer Lewis in the building. Now, let's talk chapter
four of the new book Diva. Oh, y'all, I had
so much sex up in these streets. I had a
sex addiction. I didn't know, you know, I just being
in my twenties or early thirties. I'm not gonna lie.
Whenever I hear guys say that, I always think it's
bull just like many say you was cheating you like,

(30:17):
but you know what, when I was reading the book
before you even said that, I was like, yeah, because
it seemed like you didn't feel like you were complete
unless you had some bad No, it was a need.
It was yeah, I had to have that. Right after
I came off stage, I get me a good looking man.
He was my type, like the Red Boys. Yeah, got
a little high, y'all. I liked him with a throwback

(30:39):
then you know, pretty lips like does he look like
you're Miguel? That was her. No, he doesn't look like Miguel.
Let me see if anybody in here looks like Miguel.
Miguel was Dominican. He had your skin tone a little lighter,
and he was He's a man that you wouldn't think
would have been the love of my life. But he
was brilliant. It was a mathematician met him in New York.

(31:03):
I know, I met him in college. I met him
when I was a freshman. He was brilliant and he
was sweet, and he was very spiritual, and I was
fascinated with him and he called me, yeah that what
that mean? No, he would call me an. Now before

(31:23):
you started like going to therapy and stuff here about
Polo was the therapeutic? Was that was? Oh? Yeah? Was
the drug? Are you kidding? And when you buy Paula
you you got multiple orgasm? I mean, I bat black
was an I loved it. I would come was it

(31:44):
was it like a relationship or was it just a
random child? Yea, yeah, I had him all. But I
was selected as a star. I was gonna be a star.
I can't say I was. I couldn't sleep with everybody.
Everybody couldn't say they slept with me. And that did
tame me once again. It was the dream that stopped

(32:05):
me from being killed. I had the knife to my throat. Yeah,
it was the greatest performance of my life. I talked
myself out. And this was just some boy coming out
the street. He'd seen me in the paper with a
white bikini on. I was on page six of the poster.
The daily news is all in the in the book.
Oh yeah, please tell that was a horrifying experience. We
don't want to go in there. Y'all read the book

(32:26):
about the boy putting life in the knife at my throat.
I talked myself out of rape. The boy came into
my house with a knife. It was the greatest performance
of my life, talking myself out of it. He even
he cried, and he said, I just got out of
jail and they put me in for something I didn't do,

(32:47):
and he just wanted to hurt somebody. He wasn't mean,
He wasn't He didn't come in like this because I'd
have kicked his ass. I went to therapy for seventeen years,
twice a week because I wanted to live. You spend
thirty three years in depression, hurting yourself. I want all
those men on me, Come on. I want to love myself.

(33:08):
I wanted to enjoy my success. I was a Broadway star.
I no business running around picking up guys and clubs.
I didn't want to do that. How did you get
over it? I went to i Askeid therapy. You got
to go to therapy for the sex addiction? Yes, sir, Wow,
you even went to an acupuncture, she said. And she
said she could tell you had two men. Oh my god.
I walked in some room and this Asian woman, you know,

(33:33):
I had bronchitis, and she gave me the needles all over.
I looked like a porcupine when she finished, and right
before I walked out of her office, she said, how
many boyfriend you got? One? She said, how many boyfriend
you got? I said too, because I had slept with
a guy that morning and then I slept with another

(33:54):
guy that night. That was the only time I ever
did that. She looked at me and she said, two
men and with one woman make one woman poison. Oh
my god, gotta that. I don't know how she knew
I had done that in New York and I got
into LA I was like, okay, baby, yeah, yeah, but yeah.

(34:16):
When Walter Cronkite came on the news and said, everybody
you slept with, you slept with everybody they slept with
for the last seven years. I told my girlfriend and
I said, bitch, booked me a trip around the world
and put it on the credit card because I'm a
dead bitch. You know. It's scared that in the world.
AID stopped us, all oh, aid stopped us. All I

(34:38):
went Scott. I was in Monaco, I remember, and somebody
had called me and told me that Luther Vandross had
AIDS but it was because he had lost weight. He did.
He didn't have a anybody that lost a lot of weight.
Back in those days, you just right, right right, and

(34:59):
so you know, I loved me some looser and I
was like, you know, and that went through my head.
Over there, I was just getting ready to sleep with
some French boy. It was gorgeous. I'll never forget anyway,
very nice, but anyway, hey, but I put on the
brakes that night, said I ain't doing this no more.

(35:19):
I don't want to die. Did everything make you or
did you already know your body so much? For maybe masturbations,
I didn't need no man to make me. And as
I used man, I discarded them like tissue paper back
In those days I was a brick cows thirty six
twenty four, thirty six around, check my leg off anything

(35:41):
I wanted to do. But yes, it was a need,
it was a drug. I didn't do hard drugs. I
was at a party with the San Diego Charges when
I was touring the country with a Broadway show and
they were passing around a brown box. I said, what's that?
He said, that's cooke? Baby. I said, how you do it?
He said, we'll just you know, put her right there,
snorted up and thank god. I asked this second question,

(36:06):
I said, and then what happens? He said, Well, you're
gonna feel a drip down your throat. I said, my throat. God,
I got a matinee to marrow. I ain't putting it
on my throat. And thank god, but once again the
dream there you go. See, if you really want something,
you ain't gonna mess yourself up too bad. I want
to go ahead, baby, now, I want to ask you

(36:27):
when I'm sure you took an HIV test. At some
point you're like, oh, honey, I don't sleep with a
man no more unless we go oh yeah, first, when
you took after all that sex, what was that like
you're married, you don't sleep money. I've never been married.
I've been engaged for a time. I've been engaged for
a time. I have four rings, but I never went
through with it. I'm married. I listened, I married my career,

(36:51):
and I have no regrets. I have a beautiful daughter
here that I met in the Big Sister Big Brother program.
I was a Big Sister five years, and then when
she turned twelve, her mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis
and was unable to raise her. So I adopted her.
And she's thirty now. I'm just pretty as she can be.

(37:12):
I'm so proud of us. Charmaine las Yeah, Lauren my
other baby, Yes, suh. But you were relieved after you
oh yeah, oh yeah. I actually got real stressed out
when I first moved to la You know, Robert Wax
brought me out there. He was a manager. He managed

(37:32):
Eddie Murphy, Arsenio, Chris and me. So but I wasn't ready.
I didn't know who I was. I would crumble at auditions,
cry myself to sleep, sing myself to sleep with tears
by polar disorder. Ain't no joke. If y'all know somebody
suffering with mental illness. Reach out. But I tell people

(37:54):
when I'm on the road, now reach out about three
times and then leave. They asks along because they will
kill you. You understand who had your back as a child.
I'm looking at I'm looking at everything that you've been
through and my mom and mom, No, no, it wasn't mama,
because one time I need to speak to us. Who
had your back? Who gave you? That encouraged my teachers,

(38:16):
my professors in college, and I went in search of mothers.
I tell my daughter, now, if I'm not good enough
for you, then you go find some more mamas. I
had about five mamas. I talk about him in the
book It's ironic that you became the mother of Black Hollywood.
Call you well, you know, I tell you working with

(38:36):
Tupac and Whitney and Taraji, and I've been there to
Kevin and and Gabrielle. You know, I've been everybody's mama.
I didn't have any kids, but I got my baby,
so I had to learn how to be a mama.
They calling me the mother of the movement now because
twenty five percent of my life is show business. Now,

(38:57):
seventy five is the resistance. All right, we got more
Jennifer Lewis. Of course black As season finale tonight, So
don't Move is to breakfast Club. Good morning morning, everybody
is dj Envy Angela Ye, Charlomagne, the guy we are
the breakfast club we had from black Ish, Jennifer Lewis
in the building. Charlomagne. You talk about getting molested by
your pastor too. Oh yeah, I was. I was molested

(39:19):
by the past of my church. I was fifteen years old.
You know how when choirs visit churches, you know, a
visiting choirs coming. While we were on our way home
and there was no room in the truck because you know,
we used to ride in the back of the truck
in those days. Like I ate ride, you know, So
I said, I'm riding with the past I was so happy,

(39:39):
and halfway home I said to him, hey, pastor heard,
do you think I can be a star? He pulled over,
leaned over, tried to kiss me, but I clenched my
teeth and he circled his tongue and I felt his
hand on my breast and I resisted profusely. I was
like pushing him back. You gotta understand, this was the
man of odd. I couldn't like punch that mother. You know,

(40:02):
we had been taught to revere him. No, I couldn't.
I'll tell you why, because it was pounded in our
heads to revere that son of a bitch, to watch
up him. So I resisted, and he saw that that
wasn't gonna happen, so he started the car pulled off.
When we exited the highway, I opened the door to

(40:24):
spit him out of me. I'd been holding it in
and when he grabbed my arm because he thought I
was gonna jump out of the car, I couldn't even say,
don't touch me, you son of a bitch, because I
was speaking to a man of God. Ran in the
house told my mama. There was no Oprah Winfrey in
those days. You understand what I'm saying. Women back then,

(40:44):
they didn't know how to confront that Kandiston. That was
no time's up, me too movement. Hey now, So it
was never discussed again. But you did end up having
to ride in the car with him. Oh yeah, But
that let them read on that I want to day
on this molest station. He took everything from me in
seven seconds, Your faith, everything took God because he was

(41:09):
a man of God took my career because I was
asking about it, and took my mother. They don't have
to rape you. If you've been touched inappropriately, tell somebody,
and if they don't listen, go tell somebody else. And
then you tell somebody and then you stand out in
the street and scream his or her name. Past I'm
surprised you didn't know. Oh well, that's the chapter, the

(41:34):
chapter on the molest station. Because thirty three years later,
after I've been in therapy, I called him. I got
real drunk. I was so scared and he picked up
the phone and he said, hello, Jennifer, We're so proud
of you. You're on Fresh Prince and a different You're
on television, Jennifer, I said, it ain't that kind of call. Mother,

(41:56):
m you read the book for the end of that,
I want to talk about it. Pick up the book,
The Mother of Black Hollywood and so much. He was
gonna Bill Cosby show. You don't want me to go
in on Bill? Did you did you? Did you see
anything back? And yes, I saw some suspicions. Yes I did, Yes,

(42:17):
I did. Don't ask me what room I was in.
I think I was auditioning for something. I don't know
what it was, but I was here in New York
and there was a young girl in there and she's thinning.
I hope she's watching. I don't know who she was
or what. But we were in that room and I
was going on and on about myself, what else, talking talking, talking,

(42:38):
what I'm doing, And I said, we were having a
good time in this girl. We're just talking. And I
looked out. I remember looking out the window at the
Hudson River. I remember it like it was yesterday. I'm
talking out and I said, and next week I'm doing
the Cosby Show. And she hadn't hear her saying that,
because we've been laughing at everything. I turned around in

(43:00):
whole change had reversed in a second, just from hearing
his name. I said, what's wrong with you? You rated me?
You know, back in those days, we revered caused me,
and she was a pretty little thing. Side. I thought
in my head, oh girls, she's not going up you know, audition,

(43:22):
and slept with him on No, you're not how we
used to think. I didn't think nothing. She mad because
she didn't get the job or you know, and here now,
these many years later, I mean, let me tell you something.
There's something you can't fake. Now while with this child
roll up and say something like that to me. I
think it was ninety four. I did the call. You

(43:44):
can look on IBM and see when I did the
cause of his show. But yeah, that happened. And once
again he didn't come from me, but he did. When
I went to his dressing room after the show. I
had a girlfriend with me, and he patted slapped her
ass when we left the room because when you know,
he didn't know. She um told me when we stepped

(44:04):
outside of the door, she said it me on my ass.
I went, you know, we were kids. That's all I'm
gonna say about that man, because once again y'all compassions.
I don't hate look, I try not to hate anybody,
but these sick pedophiles. There's one thing to have a
sex addiction. It's another thing to be evil and take

(44:28):
advantage of children. And all these men in power. You
think they're supposed to suck your because you got money.
Trump himself A stormy couldn't have made that up. You know,
when somebody's telling the truth like y'all do, is looking
their eyes, you're not the probably about nothing. You see
in Hollywood now at the times of me. Oh, I

(44:48):
ain't surprised, and nobody came from me out there. I
had too much talent, not that you know, I ain't
trying to say that they didn't come from me, but
you know I came in the room loud and bold
and ready, and I'm not sucking your to get a job.
Are you insane? Not after the work I did on myself.
So because you like it, well, I don't know, man,

(45:12):
I really wasn't into that. It was like she did.
Said one guy. He was too little. Oh yeah, that
was a little eathy open man and pulled out something.
I was like, honey, you're gonna have put that in
my ear. And also and the next day I had rehearsal.
They were giving us new steps. I was like, huh, man,

(45:34):
I can't hear you. Oh my daughter's here. That's just
a lot baby. You know my mom always jokes and
carry on. We appreciate you for joining us. It's so
grateful and thankful. Thank you. Please pick up this memoir.
It was really incredible. It was great for me to
read as a woman, but for everybody, I think this

(45:55):

Somebody speeds in a car, talking too fast, walking too fast,
being rageful all the time, and they disappear for weeks.

And definitely check out the interview it's on YouTube YouTube page.

(47:02):
Definitely want to change and check out her book man
when her book as well. Yeah, Mother of Black Hollywood. Yeah,
very fascinating book. I couldn't put it down. All right, Well,
let's get to the rooms. Let's talk Willow Smith. Listen,
angel Web, a Willow Smith and Jada Pickett Smith. They

(47:23):
were doing their second episode of Red Table Talk and
they were talking about losses and her daughter was talking
about her biggest loss and a Willow said that she
lost her sanity at one point, and here's what she
had to say. It was after that whole with my
hair thing, and I had just like stopped doing seeing
lessons and I was kind of like just in this

(47:43):
gray area of like who am I? Like is there?
Like do I have a purpose? Like after the tour
and the promotion and all that, and it was like
they wanted me to finish my album and I was
just like, I'm not gonna do that. And then after
all of that kind of settled down and it was
like a kind of lull, like I was just listening
to a lot of dark music and like it was

(48:05):
just so crazy and I was just like plunged into
this like black hole and I was like cutting myself.
She was only ten years old, by the way, when
my hair came out. Now, how do you get yourself
out of this dark space? Here's what she said. I
was experiencing so much emotional pain, but my physical circumstances

(48:25):
were reflect reflecting that. So would you say that was
part of the reason. Like the self harm makes makes
the pain more tangible. It's actually exactly visible. It's something
you can see. One night, I was just like, this
is actually psychotic, and after that I just stopped. That's
good to be Like five years well, I had no idea.

(48:51):
Both Jada and Jada's mom, Adrian, said they had no idea.
They were completely unaware of what was going on. They
never saw any signs of anything. So this is the
first time Willow has publicly admitted that she was cutting
herself at that time. No, you never know people going
through You gotta talk to your kids too, Not to
say that that would have help, but you gotta know
what's going on in your kid's life. I talked to
my kids every day about the smallest thing. How was school,

(49:14):
What's going on? How was lunch today? Did you sit
at the lunch table. I want to know everything so
if I feel like something's going on, I can be
there to help while I can get help. And I
think she's only ten years old and she was going
through a lot, a lot of eyes on her, a
lot of pressure to play at ten years old. And
you think that just because she's the kid of rich
parents that her life is all good. But I mean
it's got to be a lot of pressure to be willing.

(49:35):
Jade As seats absolutely all right. Now, let's talk about
Donald Glover, a child this game be You know, This
Is America debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot
one hundred and in addition to that, he got a
four hundred and nineteen percent gain in album sales for
that week because he did that Saturday Night Live and
then he put up This is America and the video
as well, So basically three of his songs ended up

(49:58):
back on the charts. All you've got SNL platform to
his advantage, as he should have. Yeah, it makes perfect
sense to me. Now. He also has been working with
Beyonce on the Lion King and remake, and he said
it is a little intimidating. He said that being part
of the Lion King is probably the safest thing just
because everybody who's involved as a fan and everybody who
was involved knows it really well. So even though it's intimidating,

(50:19):
he knows a safe thing for him to be doing, right,
no audio if you're hear it, you know, it's a
little intimidating from my point of view, but like it's
probably the safest thing, just because everybody who's involved as
a fan, right, everybody goof who's involved like knows really well.
Like they're like, so here are the lyrics. I'm like,
I know the lyrics. So it's it's actually been really

(50:42):
great and it's just hearing her do it. It's been like, man,
this is it's a really special thing. You know, I
have to see the Lion King one days. I haven't done.
Your parents don't love you? You're a virgin? Yes, not
all right. Joe Button has signed a deal with Revolt
TV okay, and he's going to be doing his own

(51:03):
talk show, State of the Culture dropping a clues bomb
for Joe Budden. So it's office show. He's been working
on this for quite some time, so it's gonna be
him just dissecting the happenings in the world of music, movies,
and pop culture. And that show is supposed to start
this summer. And now we know where I Revolt fired
fifty people. Okay, but sometimes you got to break some
eggs to make a goddamn out it all right, Well,

(51:24):
he said he's hiring some people, so he got no
choice for the hire. People can vote fired everybody. They
have no choice. But the people shout to Joe Okay,
I met all the employees from Revolt that was de
riding Diddy for no reason and still got stop it. Listen,
shout out to our family at Revolt because some of
those people where members. Oh y'all better go to break soon,

(51:47):
Petty Murphy, let's get that right now. Let's talk about
Cardie B versus Nilie. How did all of this happen
on social media? But Nilie decided to post some private
messages that were in her DMS between her and Cardi B.
Cardi B hitter um. This was on April seventh, and said,
I find it funny how you be on my DMS
trying to get close, but you'd be doing shady ish

(52:08):
eat a d hate ass bitch peeping the funny ish.
Keep the same ff and energy when you come around me,
Cardi Harty go ahead of baby relax and then Nilie responded,
girl by ain't nobody shady? You deserve what you had
because because of your consistent hard work. I don't like
your flow and delivery, and I have the right to

(52:29):
my own FFing opinion, So get out of your pregnancy hormones, bitch,
because you know I'm far from the one to play with.
This is crazy. It's just a season, man. It happens
everybody who was loving Cardi when she was on her rise,
now that she's popping, and she established she gonna get
the hate. When she get through this, she'll get They'll

happens now. Cardie told Nilie, bitch, you was always trash,

(52:50):
and you still trash. That's why you still at where
you're at. If my delivery sucks, but you begged me
to do a song with you and cash'all, and it
went on and on from there. But Nilie said she
posted it because she said, it's just so troubling to
me that the same women, same people we praise for
women empowerment, are the same ones tearing others up and
coming up and coming female artists down. The media oftentimes

(53:11):
brushes things under the rug for their face. But this
literally hurt me to my soul. I don't know who

They love you, and they hate you, and they love
you again, because that's the same. Man. I really do
hate seeing women fighting and arguing like this when everybody

isn't so unnecessary. Cardy gonna drop that. Cardy gonna drop

see all the love that she's getting on the road.

titled white People's Bland Food isn't just an Internet meme,
It's a centuries long obsession. And she starts the article
off saying humans love flavor. Okay, and she explains that
archaeologists have found that hunter gatherers in Stone Age Europe
use garlic mustard seeds. The season this two six thousand

(58:59):
years ago. So happen? How did your European answers to
season your food for six thousand years six thousand years ago?
But now in twenty eighteen, Why did your potato salad
have no flavor? Why is the chicken unseasoned? And why
do you think man it is one of the five
food groups? Okay? Are there four food groups? I don't know? Anyway, Look, Nicole,

make an older women all right in factory released the

women's experiences in a tongue in cheek way to give
additional glory to what I believe is the most impactful
piece of art in recent years. Nicole, that's cool. Your
intention is great, but your version is just whack. All right.

the rumor report. Well, there's been a lot of legal

(01:07:08):
drama between Prince's estate and the Title Platform and now
they have finally resolved some issues apparently, and the Princess
State and Title jay Z is going to be putting
out Prince's next album. So that's great news. I'm excited
to hear that's Princess music, jay Z said, I'm very
He said, our only goal is to share Princess music

(01:07:28):
with his fans as he wanted. After thoughtful and on
his conversation with him, he chose Title as his partner
for Hit and Run Phase one and Hit and Run
Phase two, and we will continue to respect an honor
princess enduring legacy and wishes with this new collection. Are
these records that Prince actually wanted out? Yeah? I guess
he's saying that they had that conversation and he chose
Title as his partner to put those albums out, So

(01:07:51):
I would assume that means that that was the plan. Yeah.
I don't know why people wouldn't respect that, especially being
that Prince was big enough Title before he died and
had his music on Title. Was he about he's a
part order of Title? I thought, right, Yeah. I think
part of the issue was some of the songs that
were put on There were older songs from his catalog
or not the song. Oh God. I think that's something
to do with what the issue was. So this Prince

(01:08:12):
project will have music from his archive of vault recordings
and it will stream exclusively on title for fourteen days,
and then it will be available for download seven days
after it is debut. Okay, I'm here for that, right,
So there you have it, all right. M Ryan Coogler,
director of Black Panther, is saying that he would love

(01:08:34):
the opportunity to do a spinoff movie focusing on the
women in that Blackburst of movie Door Malaj in the
comic books. They actually have a spinoff comic book called
the World of Waconda with a women off front and center,
so that would make sense, right, So he's already doing
the sequel, but he said he would also love to
craft a spinoff story that revolves around the women of
a conda. He was at the Camp Film Festival and said,

(01:08:54):
oh man, that would be amazing if the opportunity ever
came up, that would be dope. Our a TV series
he's starring the Door Malage like a Netflix show Hulu.
That'd be dope. Would It'd be mad at that? All right? Pharrell.
He has just bought a brand new house and guests
whose house it used to be, Tyler Perry. He just
purchased his estate for a fifteen point six million dollars.

(01:09:15):
They just closed the deal on May eleventh house in Alta.
I know it's in La. Wonder what that smells like
on the inside. Now, Tyler Perry had go at that
house last year for fourteen point five million dollars. He
tried to flip it and originally he had listed it
for just under seventeen million, but he did settle for
fifteen point six million and he got. So we got
a million dollars off of that house. Seventeen thousand square feet,

(01:09:37):
ten bedrooms, eleven bathrooms and all of that. The tennis
ford and an outdoor dining terrorist. Congratulates to those rich Negros.
I know, Okay dropped on a clue bombs with both
those rich need GROLs just living their life, making him
easily million dollars off the sale at eight House. Now,

I don't know if you've been following this story, but
apparently they found out that he've been hiring paparazzi to
take pictures of him getting ready for the wedding. And

(01:10:20):
that's a big no no. Obviously, they're very secretive and
private about all of these things. So now he said
he's having serious chest pains, and he said the pains
have been triggered by emotional upset. So he's been having
some issues. He upset that his boy marrying a black woman. No,
this is Megan Marco. You know Megan Marcos, the black
woman who's getting married. Her dad is the one that's

(01:10:41):
