Well, my friends, welcome back to Spot on with Link Lauren. We have so much to discuss. Happy Monday. If you're listening to us on Sirius xm, Happy Tuesday. We got a breakdown. Okay, this GQ cover, Michelle Obama's latest cringe complaining tour. Okay, Michelle Obama, she's going around the country and all she does is and moan and complain. We have to talk about some new data coming out about Trump derangement syndrome. Turns out it's an actual syndrome. But I want to start by discussing Cynthia. Cynthia Erivo. Now, you might know Cynthia Erivo from the Wicked films. She plays Elphaba where she identifies as a green person. Ariana Grande plays Glinda. I still have not seen Wicked, so I need to have my gay card revoked. I think I'm the only gay man on earth who still has not seen Wicked. But I'm not going to sit through a movie that's that long. Okay? I need a good 90 minute film. I'm not going to go to the movie theaters, see, you know, a three hour part one and then they got part two coming out. Well, Cynthia Erivo, okay, she broke the Internet over the weekend because she is on the COVID of the GQ Men of the Year issue. Okay, GQ Men of the Year issue. I would not have a problem with this if it was like Kim Kardashian or some sex spot someone guys found to be sexy. But gq, it's supposed to be a magazine for guys to get fashion tips, fashion advice, all types of sort of fashion Information. But they put this bald, non binary, black, I guess, trans, they them person, I guess. Cynthia Revo is very confused on the COVID of gq, okay? So apparently GQ Men of the Year issue isn't even for men anymore. Which reminds me of the Glamour UK cover recently where for their Women of the Year issue, they put nine transgender women on the COVID So they basically put nine guys on the COVID Nine guys on the COVID of a magazine and called it the Women of the Year issue. Okay, I'm not old fashioned, okay? I'm really not old fashioned. I'm Gen Z, I'm down with the get down. But can we just have some things be normal, okay? Does everything have to be woke and insane? Right? You can't even put women on the COVID of the Women of the Year issue. Okay? So what about all this feminism and uplifting women and you have no real women on the COVID of Glamour uk. You do the GQ Men of the Year issue and you put a they them bald black woman question mark on the COVID Does this make sense to anybody? Am I small minded for thinking that this is just ridiculous? I don't want all of this woke crap, okay? I didn't even like when Cynthia Erivo starred as Jesus and a production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Okay? Why do you have this non binary they them woman playing Jesus? Okay? They wouldn't do that with any other religion. But if it's Christianity, if it's Jesus, you're allowed to mock it, okay? Right. If it was Islam or any other religion, you could not knock it or make fun of it. Okay? But apparently because it's Jesus, Cynthia Rivo is allowed to do this. But I think this is why the magazine industry is going down. I don't think anybody is buying magazines. I don't think anyone really cares about magazines anymore. The only reason I would even know that they were doing a GQ Men of the Year issue is because they put a non binary they them bald woman on the COVID who guys are not going to find sexy. Guys are not going to buy this because they find it sexy. Women don't find her attractive. So I'm not sure who they're preaching to. This is just more DEI ESG in the marketing meetings. Well, if there's one thing we've realized since Ozempic has become so ubiquitous, it's that the whole body positivity movement of the last 10 years was a total scam. Okay? All of these celebrities, Lizzo, Amy Schumer, Meghan Trainor, they wrote songs, they did movies. About being thick, about being big girls and loving their curves and being big. And that was the trend at the time, okay? Have a big ass, have wide hips. Love the body you're in. Now that Ozempic, okay? And other Ozempic alternatives have become popular. These women have dropped it like a hot potato. They dropped it like a hot potato, okay? These women do not care to be big anymore because they're rich celebrities and can go make it rain and get some Ozempics. So Amy Schumer, she's an actress and a comedian. She has gone totally viral, okay? For her weight loss. If you do even a before and after, you guys go Google, she looks completely different. So Amy Schumer, she's been open about the fact that she lost 30 pounds while taking an Ozempic alternative called Manjaro, because apparently she had a horrible experience with another one, okay? So she's shopping around, okay? She's trying this little GLP one. She's trying this one. She's trying this one. But what's so funny to me, Amy Schumer's whole brand for years was that she was sort of this normal girl, maybe a little bit thicker, and she would get guys to like her and she would joke about her body. The second. The second you can get on Ozempic, okay, And lose the weight fast, these celebrities do it. What's interesting about Amy Schumer, though, there was a report in Page Six that allegedly her husband and she are on the rocks. They're apparently going to therapy. They're working on their relationship issues. Allegedly. I think what happened was he married her thick. Loving her thick. Loving the way she looked, loving the body she was in. Now she's lost £30. She's on Ozempic. Maybe she's in a bitchy bad mood, okay? And she looks completely different, okay? There are guys who want girls with a little more meat on their bones, okay? There are guys who want girls with more meat on their bones. And I think that's what happened. He married Amy Schumer and fell in love with her because she happened to be one way. Now she's basically lost half her body weight, and she looks completely different. And she's also lost the husband. So you lost the weight and you might be losing the husband as well. And then you've got Lizzo, right? Lizzo did how many albums? How many albums? About. Let's hear it for the thick girls and the big girls and the curves and F. Those skinny girls. Well, now Lizzo. Lizzo has also lost half her body weight. So what about the girls who were following her trend? The girls that were like, you know what? I am going to be thick and love my body, even if it's unhealthy, right? Even if I'm pre diabetic or diabetic, I'm going to love the body I'm in now, Lizzo. And these celebrities, they can get Ozempic, personal trainers and chefs, and they left all those normal girls, okay? Maybe folks watching this right now in the lurch, okay? They left you behind because these Hollywood people are scammers. They're inauthentic. They go with the trends. The same with the Kardashians, right? The Kardashians, when they came onto the scene, it was all about getting big asses, having a big ass, big breast, big curves. That was a whole Kardashian oeuvre, right? And girls went out there and they put themselves in harmful situations sometimes to get injections and to get bigger asses and to get Brazilian butt lifts. Now all the Kardashians, it seems like they're on Ozempic too. They're dropping the weight like flies and are going back to being super skinny. So what about the girls that followed you, all that you gave body dysmorphia to? What are they supposed to do? Now? The last one I want to discuss, Meghan Trainor, okay? Meghan Trainor, she had a hit song about 10 years ago called all about that Bass, right? All about the bass, no trouble. And it was about how she was a bigger girl and thick girl and the whole song was about basically, I don't want to be some skinny bitch. Well, she has come out and said she is on Ozempic too. So she's on ozempic 2 and she basically lost half her body weight and she looks a little bit like a bobblehead. I will also say this. These celebrities, they get massive veneers, okay? They get massive teeth done. And then when you lose all the weight, you're left with these massive Joe Biden Chiclet teeth. It's like, maybe you should have thought about that. I also have to say, not everybody is mint to be stick thin, okay? Not everybody is meant to look that way, okay? Some people have slightly bigger bones, slightly bigger makeup. Maybe it's their ethnicity, their DNA, their genetics, where their family came from a thousand years ago, right? So when someone like Meghan Trainor is dropping all of this weight, she is going to have a little bit of that bobblehead look. Because her body type, she was meant to be the way that she was. But all of that body positivity that she did for 10 years with the albums and the music and the music videos, it's all BS it is all bs. These celebrities are dropping the body positivity stuff the second they can. And we actually have a clip of Meghan Trainor discussing some of the hate she's gotten because of her weight loss.
- [09:15]
F
I went in with the concept of I still don't care. I'm getting a lot of hate online, just posting who I am. Everyone's being like, why are you thin now? Like, you were all about that bass girl. I was like, I was 19 when I came out with that song. And I'm been on a fitness journey since I got healthy. And it started with when I was pregnant, I had gestational diabetes. And I was like, oh, I. I gotta learn about health. But I got a lot of hate. Yeah, for being thinner. So it confused me and rattled me. So I wrote the song still don't care.
- [09:44]
B
My thing is this. We're not hating on her for getting thinner, okay? And I actually applaud her in some way for being honest about the Ozempic, right? I applaud her for being honest and saying, hey, I did do Ozempic. I did not do this the 100 natural way. Because they're going to be other girls out there saying, well, man, I just need to go to the gym every day. I need to starve. I need to stop eating. They might do d dangerous, unhealthy things. Not that Ozempic is 100% healthy either. But Meghan Trainor, at least she is being honest. But this just unmasks the whole body positivity movement. And you heard her talk about how she had diabetes or she almost had diabetes or gestational diabetes. These people were not straight up about the fact that they were having major health issues because of the extra weight. So they were telling everyone, go be thick. Go be big. Eat what you want. Don't worry about being skinny. But then they weren't being straight up with their followers and their fans that, yeah, there are some health risks that are going to come with that. And the last thing I'll say, y' all know I love everyone. Big, skinny, black, white, Asian man, women. Everyone is welcome on my page. Okay? It's come one, come all to the Halloween Ball. I welcome everyone in here, but I'm glad that we can have these open discussions around the body image weight Ozempic, because I want to hear from you guys and hear what you think in the comments and in my messages, Because I don't think there is a person on earth or a woman watching this who is not conscious of her weight. Right? My friends say that to me all the time. My family, they say it all the time. All my girlfriends, they say, look, we know if we gain three pounds, we know if the jeans are a little bit tighter, we can tell all of these things. And so we live in this society also where so much is online and we post pictures of ourselves and we see our selfies and we're in mirrors and people are more conscious of their body image than ever. And so we have to have honest conversations around. Okay, who is doing Ozempic, who is not? What are the health risks of being bigger? Are you being unhealthy? Is there a way to be slightly bigger and still be healthy? These are all conversations now that Ozempic and these drugs are more at the forefront in pop culture. So I can't wait to read your comments. But we gotta move on to some other topics now. Someone we haven't talked about a lot on the podcast is Bethany Frankel. She is a social media friend of mine. Okay. We follow each other on TikTok. We like and we comment. We haven't met in person yet, but I do like Bethany Frankel, okay? She's over the top. She's ridiculous. She would tell you that first and foremost. Okay? She posts anything and everything on Tik Tok, and it's why she's become an even bigger social media star since leaving the Real Housewives of New York. Well, she was doing an interview the other day where she spoke about Meghan Markle. Let's take a look.
- [12:17]
G
I've met a couple times her ex husband, I'm sure Megan's. Yes, I met him, like, personally. We met in the lobby of the Soho House in Chicago and just sort of, like, flirted and then started talking. And then met once in la, very briefly. We talked about doing a project. He said his ex was a woman from a show called Suits. I didn't know what the show was. I didn't know the woman. Months later, I see pictures in Us Weekly of Harry's dating someone, and I text him to be like, is this your ex? And he's like, yup. And I'm like. I go, you think she's gonna close? And he's like, oh, she'll close. And I don't wanna get into more about that. But he was like, she'll close.
- [12:52]
B
So one thing about Meghan Markle she is, of course, going to close the deal. I said it at the time, okay? Meghan Markle, she is smart and street. Smart enough to bag this eligible bachelor, okay? Prince Harry was the most eligible bachelor on earth. This ginger, hot prince. Women across the globe, billions of women, would have done anything, okay, For a date with Prince Harry. Meghan Markle, she knew how to come in and be a chameleon and say what he wanted and get him wrapped around her finger and make him fall for her and maybe wear the mother's perfume, allegedly, and do all of those things and wear the mother's clothes to get him to fall in love with her. So I agree with Bethenny Frankel. Of course Meghan Markle was going to close that deal. She was not going to let Prince Harry go, okay? She was going to go down that aisle and become the Duchess of Sussex, no matter what. The issue, though, with Meghan Markle is this. She knew how to get to the top, right? A lot of these women who I deem to be sociopathic, they know how to get themselves to the top. They can put themselves in the right place at the right time. They can tell guys what they want to hear. They can get them to fall for them, but they almost always crash and burn. And we've seen it time and time again with these women. They marry famous, rich celebrities. They get the guy, okay? They know how to be, like, cool and beguiling and interesting and kind of just chill, girl, and get them to fall for you, okay? They get the wedding, they get the ring, and then they blow it and it goes. It goes down in flames. And that's what I think happened with Meghan Markle, right? She got the guy. She got everything. But because she's her own self saboteur, she sabotaged it all, okay? She could be over in the UK right now eating crumpets and scones and doing ribbon cuttings and being beloved. Meghan Markle went from being British royalty to partying with the Kardashians, okay? That is a fall from grace, okay? How do you go from being British royalty to hanging out with the Kardashians and hawking jams, jellies and dog biscuits and candles that don't have wicks, okay? That is who Meghan Markle is. And if she had just stayed over there and the UK a little bit longer, all these celebrities would be kissing her ass. They would be kissing her ass. Now she's begging them for invites, allegedly, to their parties. Meghan Markle would have been royalty, right? The way people line up for Catherine, William Charles, Camilla, Sarah Jessica Parker was just over in the UK with the royalty, right? The real royalty. Celebrities revere that it. Meghan Markle blew it. Meghan Markle literally blew it. So for Bethenny Frankel to say that she was of course going to close the deal and get the guy, I agree with that. But I've seen this film a thousand times before. The girl knows how to get the guy, but then for some reason, there's a little voice in their head that sabotages it, all right? There's some form of maybe mental illness or some type of emotional imbalance where they can't keep the train going and they crash and burn and they get too big for their britches. And that's what happened with Meghan Markle. So you went from being royalty to okay to partying with people who have sex tapes and document every aspect of their life in every nook and cranny. So good for you, Meghan Markle. We gotta pay some bills. And then we come back. We have a lot more to discuss. Hey, everyone. If you're hunting for the perfect gift this holiday season, I've got you.

Well, you can count on the sun rising in the morning. But you can also count on Michelle Obama to continue this book tour where she goes around and complains about having to do her hair and her makeup. She did a tour stop with the actress Tracee Ellis Ross, a very famous Nepo baby. And on stage, she decided to point her ire at white people. Let's take a look.
- [17:50]
C
Let me explain something to white people. Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern. So when we're straightening it to follow your beauty standards, we are trapped by the straightness. That's why so many of us can't swim and we run away from the water. People won't go to the gym because we're trying to keep our hair straight for y'.
- [18:16]
B
All.
- [18:17]
C
It is exhausting, and it's so expensive, and it takes up so much time.
- [18:23]
B
I've never heard someone so privileged and out of touch in my life. Michelle Obama, she is probably worth hundreds of millions of dollars. She lives in massive mansions, and she's acting like she's oppressed or over her hair. She says we can't go swimming. We can't swim because of our hair. You know who couldn't swim? Okay. Jafari Campbell. That chef who worked at your Martha's Vineyard home who allegedly went paddle boarding and never came back. Okay. That's someone who couldn't swim, which we don't really talk about anymore. But Michelle Obama, she wants to continue complaining about her hair and her makeup every single day. And her hair isn't that great. She says she's doing her hair to please white people. She's doing her hair to please white folks. Are you really? Who is making Michelle Obama feel insecure? When I look at her hair. Okay. And we got some pictures up on the screen. Michelle Obama seems to be doing exactly what she wants, when she wants, with her hair, whether it's Spaceballs, whether it's Princess Leia. So for her to act like white people have oppressed her because of her hair. No, white people are that concerned with your hair. You just keep going out on stage and talking about it. You are the one who goes on stage every day. Now. You literally just wrote a book called the look about your dresses and your hair and your makeup. And apparently white people are concerned with your hair and makeup. We would love to look on our phones one morning and not see a clip of you complaining about your hair. But we have another clip also where she says, america isn't ready for a woman president.
- [19:56]
F
Do you think that that impacts the room that we've made for a woman to be president.
- [20:01]
C
Well, as we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain't ready. That's why I'm like, don't even look at me about running because you all are lying. You're not ready for a woman. You are not. So don't waste my time. You know, we got a lot of growing up to do and there's still, I'm still, sadly, a lot of men who do not feel like they can be led by a woman. And we saw it.
- [20:27]
B
Oh, shucks, What a loss. Michelle Obama is not going to run for president, man. What a loss for the country, man. We missed out on having this miserable, out of touch woman running the country who seems to be more focused on her hair and makeup than actually making any progress in the world. I mean, I can't name one thing Michelle Obama has done. You guys comment. Is there anything Michelle Obama has done in life that is positive? All of her initiatives as first lady, they were flimsy. It was like, we're going to go on the Ellen show and do push ups and herkies and you know, pull ups and talk about health and wellness. And then none of that happened, right? Kids were sicker than ever. They had childhood diabetes. So everything Michelle Obama tries to do, it crashes and burns and fails. And my thing with Michelle Obama is this. She gets nothing but positive praise and attention, okay? The liberal media absolutely loves her. If Melania Trump, if first Lady Melania Trump went out on stage and complained about doing her hair and makeup, it would be a national scandal, okay? CNN would be cutting in with breaking news. MSNBC would be like, we have an alert. It would be horrible. Okay? You have never heard once Melania Trump complain about her hair and makeup. In fact, she said on record, I wish people would spend more time focusing on what I do for this country than what I wear, than my clothes, than my hair. Michelle Obama, she's the opposite. She's doing a book on her hair, makeup and clothes. And I think that's the dichotomy, right? Conservative women, they're attacked constantly. Liberal women, they always get a pass and they get praised and they get booked tours and that's just the way the world works. But I see it changing because people are fleeing the Democratic party in droves. So Michelle Obama keep complaining, but I really am getting upset. You know, jokes aside, our tax dollars paid for her to live in the White House for eight years. All she has done is complain about being first Lady. She's never said thank you for the privilege. Thank you for the honor. Can we get a refund? Can we get a refund for every vacation, for every Secret Service, for everything we paid for, for Barack and Michelle Obama to live in the White House? Because all they've done is bitch and moan and complain. But we got to move on to some other topics. Well, as it turns out, Trump Derangement Syndrome, TDS is not just a joke. It's not an online trend. It is a serious mental issue. We all know a family member or a friend whose life has been taken over by tds, right? I have some friends. They're never going to come, okay? They've gone off into the ether. They're never going to make their way back from Trump Derangement Syndrome because their brains are just fried, okay? They've been ingesting and digesting all of this MSNBC liberal propaganda, all of this liberal blue slop, okay? And now they hate the president. My thing is this, right? You don't have to love the President of the United States. We have free speech in this country. There are millions of Americans who identify as independents, and they're not even enamored with both parties. So I understand that you don't have to love the president. You don't have to like him. But I think it's sad and pathetic when your entire personality revolves around your hatred for President Trump, right? There are people, we all know that we all have them, either at work, in our family and our friendship groups. You can't talk to them about anything without it coming back around to President Trump. Well, apparently there's a psychotherapist who is recently on the Faulkner Focus named Jonathan Alpert, and he discussed how he's seen such a rise in TDS with his patients.
- [23:51]
D
It doesn't take long for me to pick up on this. People are obsessed with Trump. They're fixated. They're hyper fixated on Trump, and they talk about some of the features of this disorder. They can't sleep. They feel traumatized by Mr. Trump. They feel restless. I had one patient who said she couldn't enjoy a vacation because anytime she saw Trump in the news or on her, she felt triggered. So this is a profound pathology. And I would even go so far as to call it the defining pathology of our time. Well, three quarters of my patients will present with a lot of these symptoms, and within probably five minutes of seeing me, their hatred for Trump comes up. So if you're that hyper focused on Trump, that's a real issue.
- [24:40]
B
I am so glad this conversation is happening in the mainstream, on television, online, in our groups of friends, because we've all experienced this for the last 10 years, and it's only gotten worse in this last election, okay? It's really gotten worse in the last year, okay? We've seen friends. They were great people. They were fun, they were vibrant. They had hobbies, they had passions. All they do now is post weird crap about Trump, how they hate him. I was at dinner the other night, and there are these two elderly women, two white elderly women sitting at the table next to me. All they did was sit and parrot Democrat talking points back to each other the entire dinner, right? Oh, Trump did da, da, da, da, da. Trump is just on a stage spiral down. He's a fascist. He's a dictator. Did you see Mom? Donnie's wife? She's so beautiful. She's an artist. Like, literally, I'm sitting and watching these two women, I would say maybe in their 60s or 70s, go back and forth with just MSNBC talking points. The one thing that really sickened me, though, is that one of the women, every time a name would come up, she would go, oh, I wish I could just shoot him. All right? They would talk about the present. Oh, I wish I could just shoot him. They mentioned Brett Kavanaugh, you guys. I was really eavesdropping. They mentioned Brett Kavanaugh. Oh, I would just shoot him if I saw him. Why is that? The rhetoric, right? These are women who probably used to be vibrant and fun and have personalities. They're now out at dinner together. Every conversation is about Trump, how they hate him, how they want to get rid of him, how they want to get rid of Republicans. And their rhetoric is violent. I would never, never be at dinner with a friend talking about a liberal or AOC or someone and say, oh, I wish I could just shoot him. Right? I wish I could just. You know, how come every time you bring up a Republican, that's what they would say? And I did take a picture of the women with my phone, okay? And in case these women become, you know, postmen, apostle, senior AARP criminals, and violent, I have a picture of them, okay? My friends thought it was crazy. I was like, no, I'm getting a picture because I was eavesdropping on this conversation. Every time they brought up a Republican, number one, half. Half of what they said was not true. Half of what they said was just propaganda that was funneled into them from MSNBC and from their liberal blue sky Facebook groups. But it is really sad to these people. Their lives have been Taken over by tds. I actually asked President Trump about this. I think in September, I asked him about Rosie o' Donnell and if he thought Trump Derangement Syndrome would ever become a DSM 5 diagnosis. And the DSM is the manual that psychologists used and in psychiatrists. And, you guys, I have a minor in psychology. Not that that means anything, but I do have a minor in psychology, so I've always been interested in this topic. And I asked President Trump. Let's take a look at the clip. Rosie o' Donnell demon on Chris Cuomo. So recently, she blames you for the fact that she's overweight, depressed, and drunk. What do you say to that? Do you think TDS is going to ever be a DSM 5? I don't know about Rosie. I watch Rosie. Rosie's a mess. She's a mess, but she left our country, which is a good thing, not a bad thing. So there it is. Back in September, I asked President Trump, do you think TDS is ever going to be a DSM diagnosis, meaning something that psychiatrists and psychologists diagnose their patients with. And so now, months later, we're having this conversation. I'm not shocked. I've seen this coming. This is a mental health issue. So we will pray for these people with tds. Some other folks we need to pray for are these protesters at an ice facility in Portland. Okay, so these protesters are in neon leotards outside of an ICE facility, I guess, doing jazzercise or 80s aerobic exercises, sort of like Richard Simmons. Okay? They're out there dancing and doing the grapevine. Nothing says resistance like, do the grapevine, do the hustle, reach for the sky. Like, what are they gonna do? Okay? Are they gonna fight the oligarchy with spirit fingers and jazz hands? I don't understand what the game plan here is. And then these folks complain, all right? These folks complain. We can't find jobs. We're out of work. Y' all are clearly doing just fine because you have time in the middle of the day to go do choreographed dances outside of an ice facility. Okay? Literally. Is this gonna scare people off? Do the hustle, do the grapevine Reach for the sky. Like, this is so silly to me. I. Look, I am an overgrown theater kid. I'm a recovering theater kid myself, so part of me does find this a little bit fun. Okay? If I were walking by, would I join in? Sure, maybe for a minute. But when we've got MS.13 trend criminal cartels bringing drugs into the country, Imagine the cartels come up and they're not met by ice. They're met by these folks and these neon leotards dancing and doing the hustle and doing jazz hands and spirit fingers. I'm actually shocked that Tim Walls is not out there with them. This seems like a perfect place for Mr. Jazz Hands. Tim Walls. Okay, because he walks into every room like Bob Bossi. But no, there is a part of me that does want to join in. I do want to join. But it's funny to see Richard Simmons influence on the resistance. Okay, we actually have a picture of Richard Simmons which we'll put up on the screen. It's interesting to see how these folks are sort of channel outside of the ICE facility. And I gotta just say shout out to our ICE agents, you guys. Not only are you enduring people coming up and spitting in your faces, punching you, trying to fight you, like we saw months ago with, I believe it was Lamonica McIver or Monica McIver. You know, people were just attacking, attacking ICE agents. I don't know what's worse for an ICE agent, right? Having someone come up and try to tackle you or being subjected to people doing spirit fingers and jazz hands outside of the facility blasting 80s music. I don't know what is worse. Okay, but the resistance. If this is all the resistance has to offer, I don't see Democrats coming back into power in 2028. It's going to take more than spirit fingers and jazz hands to make a difference. Ever read the label on a typical chip bag?

Well, now we got to discuss one of our favorite couples, and that is none other than Alec and Hilaria Baldwin. Okay, Ilaria Baldwin with her fake accents and her fake made up origin story. There is a story in the New York Post. Allegedly Alec and Hilaria Baldwin are in therapy because of their age gap. Apparently they have a 26 year age gap and it's so hard for them. I don't know why they didn't discuss this back then. Apparently it's so hard for them. Hilaria is in therapy. Let me read you what's going on. Elaria confessed she sought professional help with her husband, Alec Baldwin, 67 years old, to better understand their 26 year age gap. Gap. I don't believe age is just a number, at least in our situation, she said on a podcast. There are certain things where I have to look at him and say he has 26 years more experience. Meeting Alec when I was 27 years old and entering a world I was completely not prepared for. Hilarious. Said about being thrown into the spotlight. She loved it, okay? She married him because he's rich and famous. In my opinion. When I share that kind of emotion, I never want it to be that I'm not grateful and not unless understanding of the amazing privilege and wonderful things that I have. But some of it is hard and it's when I'm in my room alone and I cry. You know what I mean? It's like a lot of it is hard because, you know, you get a lot of different opinions and I take those in because I care. Okay? This is bs, okay? This is them wanting season two of their show. This is her laying the groundwork for a divorce. Okay? If you're going out there and talking about your marital problems and your marital issues on podcast, I feel like she's setting herself up for a divorce course. She probably will leave him, in my opinion, because he doesn't have much money left from all the lawsuits. Allegedly. So if he's lost all his money and he's not that famous anymore, and he's not a big Hollywood actor like he was when she met him on 30 Rock, I could see her going. I could see her saying, adio, sayonara, peacing out and going to try and find another rich husband. And she's had a thousand kids with him, okay? So that child support, that alimony is going to be steep, okay? I don't know if he can afford it. I don't know if he can pay for it, but it's going to be steep. I think they should be in therapy more for her fake accents and her fake personalities and all of her PR stunts. Okay? And anytime we see clips, she is constantly belittling him and denigrating him. So for her to say that the age gap brings some type of disparity to their relationship doesn't make sense. We actually have a clip we're going to play. You guys saw seven. Hilaria and Alex, awkward red carpet moment from a few months ago.

Her husband and say, when I'm talking, you're not talking. When I'm talking, you're not talking. Okay? With that fake Spanish accent. I don't care if your relationship is in shambles, okay? Nobody wants to see a couple argue in public. Nobody wants to see it. Right. You got to keep your relationship issues behind closed doors, okay? Out in front of the cameras. Do not emasculate your husband. Do not denigrate him. Do not try to humiliate him or belittle him, okay? Especially when you would not have a career or a life without him. If it weren't for Alec Baldwin, Hilaria would probably be teaching yoga and Pilates classes in the East Village, which isn't a bad job, okay? It's a worthwhile job. Shout out to all the folks doing that. But Hilaria Baldwin, she's only known. We're only talking about her because she married Alec Baldwin and he shined on her, okay? And gave her multiple children. So for her to belittle him it's actually hard to watch. I feel like that's what they need to go to therapy over. I feel like the therapy has nothing to do with the age gap. I feel like age really is just a number. Sometimes it's more about maturity and life experience. But it's clear there is trouble in paradise. It is clear something is rotten in Denmark with Alec and Hilaria Baldwin. And do I think they'll be together a year from now? I don't know. I could see them filing for divorce and using it for the reality show. Right. They file for divorce and then they do a whole season where they're going through divorce and then they call it off at the last minute and get back together. I could see that honestly with Alec and Hilaria Baldwin, but I also don't care that much. Okay. Actually, everything I learn about these two I learn against my will. But I will say where there's smoke, there's fire. And for a woman to go out on podcast and say she's in therapy over her relationship and the age gap and that's weird to me.
