[Lika O.]

So one year and a half woman was targeting me and another 25 people in our industry, brutally. Yes. So first it all started that someone broke into my house and police came and said, you know, look like it's your stalker, because nothing was stalled. And I was like, no, I don't have any stalkers. Then I forgot about this situation. Like, okay, maybe something happened. Maybe, like, I had no clue what happened. And then my restaurant burned down. Serious. 17 or 25 articles about me online that I'm a fraud, Russian fraud, that I stole $6 million from United States.

[Sean]

Wow.

[Lika O.]

Yeah, she posted my number, my. My address everywhere.

[Sean]

Wow.

[Lika O.]

Yeah. So all people that google me, they see everything about me that's awful. Like everything. And she fabricated things that I never had, like lawsuits. She said that I had. She put some different things that not Even related to me and she thought it was me.

[Sean]

That's terrible.

[Lika O.]

Yeah.

[Sean]

So it affect your business a lot?

[Lika O.]

Oh, my God, yes. My relationship. Because say I do podcast with you and tomorrow she gonna start targeting you. She's gonna post a lot of things about you.

[Sean]

[Lika O.]

Yeah. Like, you know these guys. Pedophile. Can you imagine? You, like, invite people and they read that you pedophile. It's not fun, right?

[Lika O.]

Yes.

[Sean]

And you have a few businesses, right? You have a restaurant, you got the modeling stuff.

[Lika O.]

[Lika O.]

Yeah. So she said that I was like selling people through my Miss Russia because I'm the first founder of Miss Russia. When I came to America, I started making this pageant and she said that I was trying to sell girls, like, all the crazy things.

[Sean]

That's nuts.

[Lika O.]

Yeah. But people. Some people believed. Can you imagine that that's the most crazy thing that some people believe in, that they wanted to believe in that because they see like Russian making something in America. Like maybe she's doing some frauds.

[Sean]

I think most people read headlines. They don't read the article. I think 87%, something really high like that.

[Lika O.]

Plus a lot of people gonna most believe in negative things about people than

[Sean]

in a positive 100%.

[Lika O.]

If someone gonna say she's a pop star, she's incredible talent, It's. Who cares about that? When someone reads she's a Russian fraud and she stole $6 million. Yeah. That's something like wow, easily. Yeah, we want to share that.

[Sean]

Yeah. So. So do you have a lot of haters?

[Lika O.]

Well, I think all public people have haters. I can say that I have a lot of haters. I have more like my soul mates, people who support me and everything that I do. But at the same time, I do have some people that. Not really like that.

[Sean]

Yeah. It's inevitable, I think, when you hit a certain level.

[Lika O.]

Yeah. Do you think it's a normal thing? How do you think people need to handle that?

[Sean]

I. I don't respond. Everyone has their different strategies. Some people respond, some people make fun of them, Some people just block them. I just don't even respond. I don't block either, though.

[Lika O.]

You don't block?

Tori, you never, you never answered to my question.

[Sean]

I would say oh no. I met three I met three. I met an artist. That's Rush. Most famous Russian artist in the world, Vladimir Kush. He's been on the show. So I met three Russians and I like them all.

[Lika O.]

Oh.

[Sean]

I've never had Russian food though. That's usually how I judge a culture.

[Lika O.]

Oh.

[Sean]

By the food.

[Lika O.]

Seriously?

[Sean]

Yeah. That's very important to me how you judge people. People, if they're nice to me, but also people are nice to me, like because I have a following. So I, I see how they treat people close to me.

[Lika O.]

That's a good point. The same. If you are successful, they're gonna treat you nice.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

If tomorrow you're not gonna be successful, some people gonna not even gonna want to talk to you.

[Sean]

Exactly.

[Lika O.]

That's the bad thing about our world.

[Sean]

You find out your real friends when you're at the bottom.

[Lika O.]

That's what happened when I had stalker.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

So I really understand who was in my team and who were against me.

[Sean]

Same with me.

[Lika O.]

Yeah.

[Sean]

When I lost all my money the second time, I found out who was still with me, you know.

[Lika O.]

That's sad.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

But it's life. We need to be strong.

[Sean]

Have to be. It's a very up and down lifestyle in the social media world, you know?

[Lika O.]

Yeah.

[Sean]

Right now it seems like it's. It's pretty hot though, with podcasts and social media.

[Lika O.]

I know, Tell me about it.

[Sean]

Yeah. Look at you, right? You're blowing up. I mean, you spent a million dollars on a resort world music video, right?

[Lika O.]

Yeah. I'm kind of the first artist that shut down seven prime location at the resorts world.

[Sean]

That's crazy.

[Lika O.]

Yeah. I brought Eric Roberts and I remember when we filmed my music video short movie, because it's not like music video, it's more like a short movie. And Neo were there artists, you know, pop artists. Neo, and he's like, okay, show me that artist that closed all those locations. I'm like, it's me. And he was like, wow, that's impressive. So that's how I like felt special. You know, if Neo said that, that's probably it is special.

[Sean]

He's been around for a while. Neo?

[Lika O.]

Yeah.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

In, in. In Vegas. Right.

[Sean]

In the music industry, not a lot of people make it that long.

[Lika O.]

Yeah, you're right.

[Sean]

Yeah. It's a tough industry to last.

[Lika O.]

Yeah.

[Sean]

Why do you think that is? Why do you think it's so hard to make it so long in the music industry?

[Lika O.]

I think it's a few factors all the time. You need to work your off, you know, like you need to do some stuff. That's number one. Number two, you probably need to create a lot of viral things too. So people, because you know, some artists, they don't even have social media. It's very important right now.

[Sean]

Their teams run it for them.

[Lika O.]

Yeah, right. Because people want to follow you live. I want to follow some music stuff, but I also want to see like what's going on in your life.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

So when the person stopped like posting, I'm, I, I lose interest to this artist. I don't know, maybe it's bad, you

[Sean]

know, that makes sense. If you stop seeing someone for like a couple months, you've kind of forget about them.

[Lika O.]

So that's probably also you need to always like engage, you know, always post stuff. And that's how you also going to bring you money.

[Sean]

That's why I post every day.

[Lika O.]

You post every day?

[Sean]

Six times.

[Lika O.]

Oh, wow.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

So how you become viral, how you

[Sean]

make all those millions, It's a formula actually. I used to think going viral was lucky, but you can actually predict going viral. So we get, we get over 100 million views a month every single month consistently. So I've got it down to a science. If you guys want the formula, I gotta charge you. But yeah, there's the formula. It's basically the hook.

[Lika O.]

Class exchange. I'm gonna say you something like, what

[Sean]

are you gonna trade me for the formula? Yeah, you got something good for me?

[Lika O.]

Let me think about it.

[Sean]

You could teach me how to win a beauty pageant.

[Lika O.]

Or I can teach you some Russian.

[Sean]

Oh yeah, that might come in handy one day. I've never been there.

[Lika O.]

You've never been? Do you know any Russian words?

[Sean]

Nope.

[Lika O.]

No.

[Sean]

None.

[Lika O.]

None.

[Sean]

What should I know?

[Lika O.]

Bad words.

[Sean]

If I get in a situation with a Russian guy, what should I say?

[Lika O.]

You should say vodka.

[Sean]

Oh, I know that word because it's vodka.

[Lika O.]

It's an old language. It's vodka. No, I'm joking to you because. So talking about the stereotypes, you just mentioned Miss Russia, why I decided to create Miss Russia pageant only because I wanted to break the stereotype that Russian speaking ladies want only money from you. Like money, money, money. When you, when you hear Russian girl like Russian woman first, that you think, oh, probably she needs a green card. She needs me. She needs to use me to get something. No. So I decided to create a show that going to showcase all the talent of the Russian speaking ladies and to bring them to the next level and to help to build a career.

[Sean]

Nice.

[Lika O.]

And I did it for like 10 years and that's how I Built my brand, my name. I also did a reality show for the Russian network. It was pretty successful. And what I really like that American big, like, people from industry came and support the show.

[Sean]

That's great. What was the show about, the reality show?

[Lika O.]

It's about Miss Russia in America.

[Sean]

Oh, okay. It was like, behind the scenes of it.

[Lika O.]

Yeah, it's all behind the scenes. Yeah.

[Sean]

Has a Russian woman ever won the Miss Worlds? The world pageant show?

[Lika O.]

Oh, I think, yeah. In the past, for sure. Yeah.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

Russian, like, you know, right now because of the things that's going on, like, in Russia.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

I don't think that even, like, Russian ladies participate somewhere.

[Sean]

Yeah. They're not allowed in the Olympics, I think.

[Lika O.]

Yes. That's actually so sad.

[Sean]

That's sad.

[Lika O.]

That's very sad.

[Sean]

Because you train your whole life, right? And then you can't be.

[Lika O.]

And Russian, like, people, they so talented. They're really talented. And that's that. I don't think it's fair to those people. But at the same time, you know that it's so funny that we mentioned that I started working and you know, this person, you know Charlie Walk, Right. I know you follow him. So Charlie Walk is the one who discovered me, and he really liked the way I sound. And he said that I need to continue. He worked with me. We released a few songs together. And I remember he said, I'm like, oh, I'm Lika Osipova. He's like, okay, stop it. From now you're gonna be Lika O. And I said, I like it. But I also asked Charlie, like, charlie, do you think that my Russian last name somehow gonna be like, a red flag? And he said, no, forget about that. People love. People love Russian people. Like, we are Americans. We love Russian people. You don't need to feel bad about that. You are Russian, because honestly, I feel really bad.

[Sean]

Really?

[Lika O.]

Yes.

[Sean]

Wow.

[Lika O.]

When people ask me two years ago, where are you from? It took me like a few seconds, like, what should I say?

[Sean]

Wow.

[Lika O.]

I had no idea because I got this kind of look, like, weird look, like, oh, okay.

[Sean]

Oh, from the war, the Russia, Ukraine.

[Lika O.]

Yeah. But I'm the one who moved to America, like, 20 years ago.

[Sean]

Right.

[Lika O.]

I still have an accent.

[Sean]

Yeah. You didn't lose the accent?

[Lika O.]

No, I don't want that.

[Sean]

That thick Russian accent. Yeah. Because sometimes when people move, they lose their accent.

[Lika O.]

Yeah. But not only Russians, but, like, in general, when people live here for 20 years, they can lose. But I. I think I'm on purpose. I like it.

[SelectQuote Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Sean]

I think it's good for branding.

[Lika O.]

It's good for Brandon and people can understand that. I'm not from America.

[Sean]

Right.

[Lika O.]

Where are you from? Are you Brazilian? From Colombia.

[Sean]

So you have, have you been back

[Lika O.]

[Sean]

Okay. So before the pandemic.

[Lika O.]

Yeah.

[Sean]

How many countries I've been to 27.

[Lika O.]

What's your favorite?

[Sean]

Thailand or Greece?

[Lika O.]

I love Greece.

[Sean]

Yeah, Greece is hard to beat. We just did Mykonos and that was pretty good too. That was beautiful. But Greece is amazing.

[Lika O.]

So you like pure American?

[Sean]

I'm half Chinese, half Irish.

[Lika O.]

Oh, wow.

[Sean]

Yeah. But I was born here.

[Lika O.]

That's a great mix.

[Sean]

Yeah, I've never met someone with that mix actually.

[Lika O.]

Wow.

[Sean]

I'm the only one. No, I'm just kidding.

[Lika O.]

But I was like, okay, I've met a lot. I'm going to say anything.

[Sean]

I've met a lot of people and that's a rare mix. I feel like, you know Chinese and Irish. Have you been to China?

[Lika O.]

No. Do you like Asian food?

[Sean]

Yes. Yeah, I eat it every day.

[Lika O.]

Every day.

[Sean]

Almost every day, yeah.

[Lika O.]

Oh, wow.

[Sean]

Chinatown. Chinatown is the spot. It's hard to beat Asian food. All right, what else we got? So when you moved here, you didn't speak any English, Right. Who taught you?

[Lika O.]

So when I moved, I moved to Brooklyn. Hello, Brooklyn. Everyone speak Russian in Brooklyn. And I was like, what should I do? I moved to Los Angeles. That's how I started learning English here. Yeah. But, you know, I never had this kind of bad feeling that, I don't know, English people can understand me. I'm such a go getter. I'm like, okay, I'm gonna explain like this. They're gonna understand me, but I'm just gonna go do my show.

[SelectQuote Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

So that's how it all started. Just go and do it. Just like, never think twice, you know, some people, you know why they not making it? They overthink stuff. Oh, what if. What people gonna think about me? Oh, what if I'm not enough for that?

[Sean]

100?

[Lika O.]

Go and try make some stuff. Even if it's not gonna be successful. At least you tried.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

If you never try, you never know.

[Sean]

100, right. So your goal when you came here was to make a name for yourself, make some money.

[Lika O.]

Yeah. So I knew I'm gonna make it from, like, first day I stepped. First day I came into this country, I'm like, I'm gonna make it here. I'm gonna do. I'm gonna work. I'm gonna do everything just to. To do it.

[Sean]

That's a good mindset. Immigrant mindset.

[Lika O.]

Exactly.

[Sean]

Yeah. Immigrants work hard.

[Lika O.]

We work hard. Yeah. I. I remember, I like, travel that I. I drive, like, two, three hours. And I. I was a cashier at the pawn shop. That's how I started.

[Sean]

Wow.

[Lika O.]

Yes.

[Sean]

And you had to drive two hours to work.

[Lika O.]

Yes.

[Sean]

Holy crap.

[Lika O.]

Yeah. So. And it was not a safe place to work. I didn't care. I needed to save my money. I. I never had any sugar dates.

[Sean]

Really?

[Lika O.]

Never in my life.

[Sean]

Wow.

[Lika O.]

No. And not because I couldn't have or couldn't find one.

[Sean]

Yeah, you easily could have found one.

[Lika O.]

No, because I never had a goal. I never wanted someone to tell me that I made you. I help you to do that. And some guys, they actually love to blame girls, you know, I never wanted that. And not because I'm the one who put the guys down or, like, showing my superpower. No. I still treat. Man is a king. And I think the man needs to be a man in all the relationship. But I just never wanted and never had this Goal to use someone to bring me to the next level.

[Sean]

Yeah. So you were very independent.

[Lika O.]

Very independent.

[Sean]

You didn't want to rely on a man?

[Lika O.]

No, I don't want to rely on men. But I still want a man to be a provider. I still want a man to be. To make more money than I'm making. It's a normal thing. Like, normal thing. But if we have it like I would say bad financial situation, I always going to support my man. If we together, I want together, like me and him to grow. Not like it's like me, me, me, or like he's doing his stuff. No, let's grow together. Let's build our empire together. Let's to lift each other, like to the next level.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

That's the power and beauty of relationship, I think.

[Sean]

Do they have to be Russian?

[Lika O.]

No. I mean, I don't care.

[Sean]

You don't care?

[Lika O.]

I don't care.

[Sean]

Oh, wow. Your parents didn't care.

[Lika O.]

But why, why, why you. You have this stereotype, like, Russian Mary, only Russian.

[Sean]

Well, my mom was Asian. She. She always wanted me to marry an Asian.

[Lika O.]

Oh. Yeah.

[Sean]

But I didn't do that.

[Lika O.]

Oh, okay.

[Sean]

Yeah. I think it's every culture, they kind of want you to stay within it sometimes, you know? You don't think so?

[Lika O.]

Come on, I live in America, like already 20 years.

[Sean]

Yeah, that's true.

[Lika O.]

Yeah. It's not because of that.

[Sean]

What if they're shorter than you? Does that matter?

[Lika O.]

You're so funny. No, I never thought about that. You know what? I'm a Libra. I'm all about vibes. So if it's something like giving me the vibe that I want to be with this man. I don't care if he's short. I don't care if he's making not enough money. The only thing that I care, I don't want him to be a loser. I don't want him to be like, just someone who play games all the time or like, do nothing, have no ambitious. No. Why. Why do I need my waste my time?

[Sean]

Right?

[Lika O.]

But I don't care. Like, even if he has a little dad bod. It's okay.

[Sean]

That's all right.

[Lika O.]

It's okay. Wow. Why do we. Okay, so can I ask you something? Why? We judge people by looks? But why?

[Sean]

So according to them, looks tell you a lot about the person.

[Lika O.]

Okay, so you think if he has a little belly, he's not responsible, he's lazy.

[Sean]

That's the stereotype.

[Lika O.]

Yeah, Love it. You just mentioned right? Word stereotype. Let's break the stereotypes. Maybe he has a health issues.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

So what do you think? If person have a health issues, you just need to like say, oh, I don't, I don't like that person. It means that you're not ready to build a serious relationship. Because if a mature person want to build a serious, serious relationship, he needs to understand, he or she, that we can go through medical situation, health situation, financial struggle. And you need to accept this person as is, not to make him perfect. No one is perfect.

[Sean]

No one is.

[Lika O.]

No.

[Sean]

No one.

[Lika O.]

No one.

[Sean]

Yeah, I don't. I don't believe in perfect.

[Lika O.]

Actually.

[Sean]

I think it's impossible.

[Lika O.]

Yeah. For like short term, just to have fun, to have this kind of stuff. Situationship. Okay. You can have your model looking person and just to have fun, but if you want to really, really build a family, I don't think you need to see, oh, this person is a little shorter. Oh, this person is like have huge nose.

[Sean]

That could have went so many different ways.

[Lika O.]

So. Yeah, no, it's not important to me.

[Sean]

Okay. Situationship. I haven't been in any of those.

[Lika O.]

Really? Never?

[Sean]

What is that?

[Lika O.]

No one night stands?

[Sean]

No.

[Lika O.]

Good.

[Sean]

Been with one girl my whole life.

[Lika O.]

Whole life?

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

Are you serious?

[Sean]

Mm, yeah. Yeah. No one night stands, no situationships, no friendship with benefits.

[Lika O.]

Can I ask you a personal question? Yeah, if you.

[Sean]

Go ahead. 29.

[Lika O.]

You're 29?

[SelectQuote Advertiser]

Just turned 29.

[Lika O.]

With the one girl?

[Sean]

Yeah, since I was 20. Wow. Yeah.

[Lika O.]

That's great.

[Sean]

Nine years.

[Lika O.]

So now you can understand what I'm talking about. I bet that you're the guy. Not if. If you girl gonna be like overweight for some health issues. You're not gonna leave her?

[Sean]

No, I'm sapiosexual, so I. Do you know what that is?

[Lika O.]

No.

[Sean]

I prefer intelligence over physical attributes.

[Lika O.]

And she's two.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

Okay, so you.

[Sean]

Well, I don't know if she is actually, but.

[Lika O.]

So you don't have sex?

[Sean]

I do, but it's not. It doesn't rank high for me in priorities.

[Lika O.]

So it's not your priority.

[Sean]

It's not my number one. A lot of guys, it's number one. Number two.

[Lika O.]

Yeah. So you can have sex or you cannot have sex.

[Sean]

Yeah, it's. It's whatever.

[Lika O.]

Yeah. Or you can have sex by yourself without her.

[Sean]

I don't master. I don't watch.

[Lika O.]

You don't watch?

[Sean]

No. It's terrible for you.

[Lika O.]

It's terrible for me.

[Sean]

It's terrible for your mental health. Yeah. For men and women.

[Carl's Jr. Spokesperson]

Wow.

[Sean]

Yeah. You didn't know that?

[Lika O.]

No.

[Sean]

Stop It.

[Lika O.]

No, tell me why.

[Sean]

Have you seen the brain studies of people that watch porn?

[Lika O.]

What happened?

[Sean]

It's. Their brain is the same as a cigarette smoker.

[Lika O.]

Are you serious? I don't smoke.

[Sean]

Yeah, well, cigarettes obviously are bad for you, but if you watch porn a lot, it's really bad.

[Lika O.]

If you have sex, it's also give you that bad.

[Sean]

No, sex is good for you.

[Lika O.]

Sex is good.

[Sean]

Yeah, it's just porn bad. Yeah.

[Lika O.]

But what if you watch during the

[Sean]

sex, that's probably bad for you.

[Lika O.]

Bad.

[Sean]

Yeah. Cuz then you're. That means you can't get aroused from your partner, so you're watching porn to supplement it, in my opinion.

[Lika O.]

Wow.

[Sean]

Why do you do that? Sounds like it. That's a yes.

[Lika O.]

I thought we all watch. I'm sorry, but I thought so.

[Sean]

No, no.

[Lika O.]

Wow, I'm blushing.

[Sean]

Yeah, there's a. A lot of guys don't watch it anymore. Yeah, I used to.

[Lika O.]

You used to?

[Sean]

Yeah, I used to watch it.

[Lika O.]

But wait a second. So you want to tell me that someone brainwashed you and say that it's bad and you believed and you stop watching that?

[Sean]

It wasn't one person. It was multiple doctors I had on the show, former stars, multiple different perspectives. I don't. I don't form opinions based off one person.

[Lika O.]

Oh, that's good.

[Sean]

Okay, you. You're too gullible if you're doing that.

[Lika O.]

Got it.

[Sean]

You got to hear multiple different people from walks of life, then form your own opinion.

[Lika O.]

That's amazing. Do you believe that person can have only one partner in the whole life or the whole life?

[Sean]

What do you mean? Like sexually.

[Lika O.]

Sexually?

[Sean]

Yeah, I'm doing it.

[Lika O.]

No, but you're still 29. Let's talk in 10 years.

[Sean]

I'll be fine.

[Lika O.]

Yeah, you'll be fine.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

What about her? Do you think she will be fine?

[Sean]

I hope so.

[Lika O.]

What if she's gonna come to you personally and say, sean, I love to eat this salad, this Asian salad, but I want to put a little bit spicy dressing. Let's spice up our relationship, bring in another in person.

[Sean]

So a throuple?

[Lika O.]

Yeah.

[Sean]

I wouldn't do a throuple.

[Lika O.]

No?

[Sean]

No. I just had someone on last week that's in a throuple. She's in. She has a girlfriend and a boyfriend. Oh, so he gets to have sex with both the girls.

[Lika O.]

Okay.

[Sean]

And it's an open relationship.

[Lika O.]

Oh. How do you think it works?

[Sean]

Yeah, they're happy.

[Lika O.]

No, for you. No.

[Sean]

Oh, no. For me, no.

[SelectQuote Advertiser]

No.

[Lika O.]

Because you're conservative.

[SelectQuote Advertiser]

Just.

[Sean]

I don't know the word. It wouldn't work for me, you know? What about for you?

[Lika O.]

No, no, no.

[Sean]

You're monogamous relationship.

[Lika O.]

No, I, I, if I'm into man, I want to be with this man. I mean, I love girls. Girls are beautiful. I love girls. I mean, I love girls in a different way. Yeah, like, I love the beauty of the girls, but like to leave or like to please a guy who gonna tell me, oh, let's have this threesome. It's gonna be better for our relationship. It's all bs. They just want to sell it to the girls. So girls bring this fun to them, but they still gonna cheat on them.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

Yes.

[Sean]

You hear that, Michael Sartin? No, I'm just kidding. He loves those three ways.

[Lika O.]

Oh, Michael. Yes. I mean, no, I don't want to judge Michael or any other guys. Guys, I'm not here to judge anyone because all of us have our own like lifestyle and fantasies and everything. But in general, for me, no, I don't want that.

[Sean]

Where does sex rank for you? Is it really important?

[Lika O.]

Yeah, sex is very important. If like I would, I would say sex is number one.

[Sean]

What?

[Lika O.]

Yes.

[Sean]

Over money, you would have sex with someone that made no money?

[Lika O.]

Of course I can have sex with someone who have no money.

[SelectQuote Advertiser]

Wow.

[Sean]

Speechless.

[Lika O.]

Why is speechless? Do you think I need to have sex only with someone who has money?

[Sean]

Well, sex should be a very special thing.

[Lika O.]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Wait. Now I need to ask you something. So you think that I need to go have sex only with someone who has money?

[Sean]

Well, yeah, because if you're having sex, you're dating them.

[Lika O.]

But like how you include money into that?

[Sean]

Basically, if you're going to date someone, wouldn't you want them to have some money? Like you don't want to date a broke guy.

[Lika O.]

No, but let's say we all have ups and downs. Okay, Maybe he broke today, but tomorrow he's gonna be better. Or you don't believe in that.

[Sean]

So you're betting on his future?

[Lika O.]

No, of course I can see. I can see that the guy have this kind of ambition. Ambition. I can feel that.

[Sean]

I mean, I believe in that. My girl was with me when I

[Lika O.]

was broke, you see.

[Sean]

But I think that's a rare situation.

[Lika O.]

That's a rare situation, but we. Girls, please, please, if you listen to me right now, don't hunt and don't go and find. Try to find rich guys. Give a guys a chance. If a guy has like desire to be successful, to make money, please date these guys. Give them A chance. Don't even think about money situation.

[Sean]

Wow, the guys are gonna love you in the comments.

[Lika O.]

I'm all about that guys. I'm all about that. I'm so against when the girls say and showing this like presents. He bought me this, this. So he actually buying you. He not even respect you as a woman. He just want you to like, like he want you, he want you to be like his trophy. Yeah, well, yeah, like, like why?

[Sean]

No, yeah, you probably see a lot of that in la.

[Lika O.]

No guys, I'm. I'm not into that. Honestly. It's never like money situation. Never scare me. But again, I don't want to date a loser. I don't want someone who like just sitting at home and do nothing. No, let's do together. But sex can be awesome with anyone. It doesn't matter he has money or he has no money.

[Sean]

Wow, that's a hot take.

[Lika O.]

I mean it's true. Wow.

[Sean]

I've never heard of someone ranking sex above money like a female.

[Lika O.]

Really?

[Sean]

Yeah, you're the first.

[Lika O.]

Wow, I'm shocked. Honestly.

[Sean]

Well, I have on a lot of only fans girls and oh no, I'm

[Lika O.]

not an only fan.

[Sean]

Yeah, people like that. You know one out of. I think it's one out of five Gen Z females does only fans now. One out of five?

[Lika O.]

Really?

[Sean]

You think that's high.

[Lika O.]

That's crazy.

[Sean]

That's really high, right? It's tough out here these days, guys.

[Lika O.]

I better not to make any money than go into only fans you've probably been offered, right? I'm not gonna do any stuff like

[Sean]

you wouldn't do it for a million.

[Lika O.]

I can do it for.

[Sean]

Now we're talking guys. Once the money comes into play, people change their minds.

[Lika O.]

Okay? Can I tell you honestly, if you're gonna say go and sleep with this guy for $1 million or go to sleep with your dream guy and he's not making money at all. I would go and sleep with the guy that I would. Stop it.

[Sean]

Yes you would.

[Lika O.]

I would go and sleep with the guy and I'm gonna get. I'm a Libra. I'm all about emotions. I don't care about any other things. And trust me, in this industry that I am in, I got a lot of offers, different kind of offers and I never accept any of that.

[Sean]

Yeah, I bet you did in Hollywood, guys.

[Lika O.]

I'm not talking that about that. People say oh my God, you're so amazing. Wow, wow, wow. No, I'm just sharing with you my story. So that's me.

[Sean]

Wow. So you're big on the astrology, it sounds like.

[Lika O.]

Yeah. What's your sign?

[Sean]

But you're. Yes, you're logical, but you also have emotions. You don't have emotions.

[Sean]

I suppress them, yeah.

[Lika O.]

Why?

[Sean]

Childhood trauma. I used to be very emotional when I was a kid.

[Lika O.]

So you work on yourself.

[Sean]

Yeah, now I'm trying to get my emotions back.

[Lika O.]

Wow.

[Sean]

Yeah, I shut them off for years.

[Lika O.]

That's. That's. That's actually. Honestly, I feel bad.

[Sean]

I know a lot. A lot of guys do it, though, to be honest, because we. We have to portray a certain toughness and image so we kind of. People see emotions as soft as a guy.

[Lika O.]

I know, but it. You know, I want to cry.

[Sean]

I appreciate that.

[Lika O.]

And you know why? Because if I had a son who tell that. That you just telling me, I would definitely cry and I would, like, want to come and hug this person. Because, you know, like, everything that we talk today, it's kind of weird. Money, sex for money. No emotion. You need to control your emotion. When are we gonna leave? Why do we need to think that way? Why? We just can't be ourselves.

[Sean]

Yeah, I wish. I think social media causes you to be something fake. Yeah, to be fake, naturally, because you're trying to live up to everyone's expectation. So there's a level of fakeness.

[Lika O.]

Yeah, I don't care about anyone and any expectation they have, I don't really care. I'm never gonna change, you know, it's gonna hard. It's gonna be hard for me. And it is hard for me to be this way in the industry and think this way, but it's better me to take longer but I'm gonna get there than to just to sell my soul.

[Sean]

Respect.

[Lika O.]

I'm never gonna sell my soul. I'm never gonna do any bad things. Things I'm never gonna sell myself. No. Like, it's better. It's better not to be successful. But at the end, it's just you and you. At the end of our journey, it's just you and you. You can, like, lie to anyone. You can lie to yourself.

[Sean]

True.

[Lika O.]

And when are we gonna be old? What should I remember? Like, the guys that use that I slept for money. Like, people that even not respect respected me. And I did this for what? For fame? For a little, like, attention? For extra likes? No.

[Sean]

No respect.

[Lika O.]

It's never gonna happen.

[Sean]

Yeah. I don't want any regrets when I'm dying.

[Lika O.]

Exactly. No regrets. It's something still. Everyone gonna experience that. Because we're all young, we kind of like, you know, don't think what's gonna happen tomorrow, but think, like, deeper. Life is like that. It's quick. So fast.

[Sean]

Very quick.

[Lika O.]

It's so fast. So what are you going to tell your kids? Like, no, I want my kids. I want people to respect. It's for me, it's, it's number one. I want people to respect me. I don't want them think that, oh, she's, she's successful because of this fat dude. He's 70 years old and he helped her. No way. Never. No.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

I don't want my man to love me only because I bring, like, third girl to our bed. I want my man to love this, to appreciate this. Even if I'm okay, maybe I'm gonna be alone, and maybe I'm just gonna be single for my whole life, but still, I don't care about that. I, I, I'm gonna respect myself.

[Sean]

Yeah. You said sell your soul earlier. Have you seen people go down that route? That route? Really?

[Lika O.]

Yes, I saw that people, and I know that people.

[Carl's Jr. Spokesperson]

Wow.

[Lika O.]

Even the girls who came to participate in Miss Russia, first question they ask, who should I sleep with to win the crown?

[Sean]

What?

[Lika O.]

Yes.

[Sean]

That's crazy.

[Lika O.]

Yes. And I was like, wait a second. What you just said. You don't need to sleep with anyone. You don't need even to pay to enter the pageant. Because I did all this for them. And they were asking me, like, okay, this pageant probably is boring because where are the sponsors? Where are the money guys? No, it's not my vibe. I saw that. I know how girls can go. And even they can be pregnant from wealthy guys just because they don't need this kid. They don't need kids. They want to make these babies just to protect their future.

[Sean]

Wow.

[Lika O.]

So it's like a business plan.

[Sean]

Yeah. Baby trap or whatever it's called.

[Lika O.]

Yes. No, I don't respect that. I'm never gonna respect that. I'm sorry. But I, I don't want to judge anyone, but I know people that do that, and I, I'm.

[Sean]

That's messed up for the kid, though.

[Lika O.]

So it's like, it's like, it's like business plan. It's not even your kid. They just use this kid for money thing.

[Sean]

Wow. That's nuts.

[Lika O.]

Yeah. And people don't understand money and success. It's like this, it's like a roller coaster. Today you're on top, tomorrow you can be here.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

You know, and if you don't love your partner, when he gonna go down, you're gonna leave him.

[Sean]

Yeah. Shout out to my wife because I've lost my money twice now and she was with me both times, you know, respect. She didn't leave.

[Lika O.]

That's. That's amazing.

[Sean]

Yeah. And I'm talking like millions to nothing.

[Lika O.]

That's a real person, that's a real relationship. That's a real wife.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

I hope more wife like that would exist.

[Sean]

Absolutely. Yeah. I just hear the worst stories these days about dating, especially in cities, L.A. vegas, Miami. I know, very materialistic.

[Lika O.]

I know people date to use you in all purposes.

[Sean]

Yeah. It's a stepping, stepping stone.

[Lika O.]

The guys want this, the girls want that. I mean, materialistic world.

[Sean]

Yeah. That's how we were taught in America to make money. Capitalism. I don't know what it was like in Russia, but we were taught to make money here.

[Lika O.]

Get the best job, get the best job. Just don't use people. Don't play with emotions, don't play with people's feelings. It's not good.

[Carl's Jr. Spokesperson]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

You know, karma, karma, gonna get back to you.

[Sean]

I believe in karma.

[Lika O.]

I believe in karma and I know that 100%, if you use someone, someone gonna use you. All these girls who use the guys now, they like in their 40s, the girls, and trust me, the younger guys use them.

[Sean]

Yeah, yeah, they're still.

[Lika O.]

Now they become someone's sugar mommy. And the same scenario for these girls. So I don't want this way for me. No way. No.

[Sean]

When did you come from New York to LA?

[Lika O.]

18 years ago.

[Sean]

And you like in LA more than New York?

[Lika O.]

I like, I love L. A. I love the weather in LA.

[Sean]

Yeah, the weather's hard to be.

[Lika O.]

Yeah. I mean, all my family live in la.

[Sean]

Oh, so everyone from Russia?

[Lika O.]

Yes, yes, they were here and. No, my dad lives in Russia, but. Because they divorced with my mom, but long time ago. But yeah, I'm in a good relationship with my dad. We have a family when everyone respect each other.

[Sean]

Nice.

[Lika O.]

I was raised. I know that my mom treated my. My dad is a king. And I saw that as a girl, you know, I know how relationship can be where you race with love, loyalty, no disrespect and no, like cheating, you know, I don't accept that. I don't want that. It's very healthy relationship.

[Sean]

Yeah. Cheating is a no no.

[Lika O.]

Yeah. And it's very hard to be healthy in this Life very hard.

[Sean]

I think that's. It's a challenge every relationship goes through though, you know?

[Lika O.]

Yeah.

[Sean]

You got to get over it. It's not going to be all sunshine.

[Lika O.]

No, you need to accept that I'm okay with that. And I know that because I went through all these ups and downs together with my man. Yeah, I don't care about that.

[Sean]

Oh, so you got someone right now. Is that hidden or private info? Keep the viewers intrigued. Yeah, I keep. I keep my wife pretty private too.

[Lika O.]

That's the best.

[Sean]

She's not on social media.

[Lika O.]

Oh, lucky her.

[Sean]

Yeah, it's good for your mental health. We both deleted TikTok like a month ago and we sleep way better.

[Lika O.]

Really?

[Sean]

Yeah, we track our sleep with oura ring and eight sleep mattress and our scores went up because scrolling's so addictive.

[Lika O.]

Everything is addictive. All the social media is crazy.

[Sean]

Like so addicting. Like I'm not even when we put on a movie, I'm on my phone.

[Lika O.]

Me too.

[Sean]

Like I'm addicted, dude.

[Lika O.]

I have everything on my phone. Even like I'm sending emails using my phone.

[Sean]

Email, Instagram, DMs, text non stop. Just bouncing between the apps. Yeah, it's bad.

[Lika O.]

I know it's bad. That's why we need to bring this 90s back.

[Sean]

The 90s?

[Lika O.]

Yes.

[Sean]

You like the 90s era?

[Lika O.]

Well, I'm not that old, but I mean, I mean, I'm telling you that. Remember, like that kind of vibe, no phones, like, yeah, real relationships talking.

[Sean]

I remember the 2000s.

[Lika O.]

Yeah, me too. Because 90s, 90s, I was a kid.

[Sean]

Yeah, I was super young. But 2000s. Yeah. No phone. If we had to order food, we had to call the restaurant.

[Lika O.]

I don't remember even calling the restaurant, honestly.

[Sean]

Really?

[Lika O.]

Maybe because I lived in Russia. Like we didn't have that, but I remember that we had something real. Like real thing, you know, not like this fake situation that happened right now with social media or like someone wants to have the life that someone showing you, but it's not even real life. It's only for clicks and likes. All this beautiful, like lifestyle that you see on Instagram. It's not even real.

[Sean]

Yeah, it's not. People just show their best and the

[Lika O.]

girls thinking if she's pretty, she can use the guy for that. Like, I want this lifestyle. You need to provide me that because I'm a full package and you need to do that. That's horrible.

[Sean]

Absolutely.

[Lika O.]

And it goes both ways. And the guys too. I'm sorry, but the guys also want the girls only. Like fixed, fake looking.

[Sean]

I don't like fake.

[Lika O.]

You don't like fake?

[Sean]

I don't.

[Lika O.]

That's good.

[Sean]

I think it's no offense if you got some surgeries. I don't know if you did, but I didn't. Oh, you didn't.

[Lika O.]

It's natural.

[Sean]

Nice. Yeah, I don't. I don't like it, but a lot of guys do like it.

[Lika O.]

Well, I don't judge girls who did that. With doing that, it's okay. But at the same time, I judge guys who are. Want to have girls only because of that, like, she's fixed. I want to have her like, you know, it's also like, kind of problem they have.

[Sean]

Yeah. Both genders are. Need some work, I think.

[Lika O.]

Yeah.

[Sean]

I think guys are simps now. I think they cave in too easily. But the girls. Here's a crazy stat. Top 20% of the girl. What is it? Or 80% of the girls go after the top 20% of the guys statistically on dating apps.

[Lika O.]

Really?

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Lika O.]

I never been on a dating app ever in my life.

[Sean]

Really?

[Lika O.]

Never in my life.

[SelectQuote Advertiser]

Wow.

[Sean]

Why?

[Lika O.]

Never.

[Sean]

You wouldn't do it?

[Lika O.]

Never? No.

[Sean]

You like in person.

[Lika O.]

I like in person. I lie. I. I know. I don't do that.

[Sean]

Well, if you went on an app, you would get 100 requests in an hour. Like, it's. The girls have all the options on the app. No, no, Girls are out. Number 10 to 1.

[Lika O.]

No, I don't need that. I don't need that kind of. To feel this. Oh, wow. So many likes. So many. Yeah, like, that's amazing. Let's do this. No, I don't have time for that. I feel that I have different priorities in my life.

[Sean]

Yeah, you could definitely spend a lot of time on them. This girl showed me her Raya app when I was in la. Have you heard of that one? It's a dating app for celebrities. Yeah, it was all.

[Lika O.]

Still not making it. No, you wouldn't get that even like, for no celebrities. Okay. So I had like, girls night out and one girl said this website for billionaires.

[Sean]

I know that one.

[Lika O.]

Yeah. For not for celebrities.

[Sean]

Seeking arrangement.

[Lika O.]

I don't.

[Sean]

Something like that.

[Lika O.]

And no. No, I. I said no, thank you. Wow.

[Sean]

You wouldn't date a billionaire.

[Lika O.]

I don't care if he's billionaire or not. I don't really care.

[Sean]

Wow.

[Lika O.]

Like, no. And plus, you know, Sean, honestly, I. Better to be with the guy and build something together than just to be married to someone who already has billions. And like, what? I don't want him to Even question my feelings. I don't want him to think that I come here for something.

[Sean]

Doubts.

[Lika O.]

Yeah, like, you know, I don't want that. I really don't. Or maybe if the guy is super successful, I'm okay even to sign that I don't need anything before me. But if we're going to build something together, then yes, I want to have half of that for sure. But no, I'm not the woman who like searching the billionaires like, oh, like, you know, some LA girls, let's go to this place. Because the big money guys come to that place.

[Sean]

That makes sense.

[Lika O.]

How sad is that?

[Sean]

It's fleeting. Yeah. It doesn't last. That's not real love.

[Lika O.]

It's nothing. It's just like how. How to say not to.

[Sean]

Just like a transaction.

[Lika O.]

Exactly. Thank you. It's just a transaction. Transaction. Relationship is not something that I'm looking for.

[Sean]

Love that well. Leaka, what are you working on next? Where can people keep up with you?

[Lika O.]

I'm working with amazing person Peter Madrigal. He actually here. Somewhere here. Somewhere here with me. So we're working on a project together. It's a relationship like relationship style of show. Oh, yes. Coming soon.

[Sean]

Nice.

[Lika O.]

And if you're ever in la, I would like you to come and be part of that.

[Sean]

It's a dating show.

[Lika O.]

It's. It's not a dating show. I can tell a lot about it right now, but it's very unique. And you never seen something like that before.

[Carl's Jr. Spokesperson]

Nice.

[Lika O.]

It's more like a reality style show.
