Key Discussion Points & Insights

“All this Catholic dipping and dapping in. And it's happening. And it says, got crunk in the front, Got milk?”

2. Naomi Campbell’s Infamous “Rap Sheet” (02:44–05:05)

—Father Ricardo Bailey (02:44)
3. Drawing Biblical Parallels & Life Lessons (05:22–07:37)
-
Father Bailey ties Naomi’s behavior to a Biblical narrative:
- Compares Campbell’s malice to that of Herodias and Salome (the dance and beheading of John the Baptist).
-
Father Bailey issues a challenge:
“If I did not have the Lord in my life, and if I wasn't a priest, she would have only one time to try to hit me with a telephone...Ms. Campbell needs to be set on the right path and she needs to get her act together.”
—Father Ricardo Bailey (06:30) -
Commentary on humility and the need to confront bullies:
“What needs to happen in this case is a good old dose of humility and intimidation...We have all had a bully in our life. And the worst thing about a bully is that they are the personification of evil in that particular stage. But you can deal with bullies and still be loved by God.”
—Father Ricardo Bailey (07:00–07:36)
4. Atlanta Realness: Southern Women vs. Bullies (07:37–09:40)
-
Father Bailey humorously nominates strong southern women (Waffle House employees, “Big Momma,” etc.) as perfect foils for Campbell’s tantrums.
-
Lays out his “catch and confront” plan if targeted by Campbell:
“If these women are anything like my mother, they will say it would be her trial, and they will be her funeral...if Naomi Campbell threw a shoe, a cell phone, or even a BlackBerry at me. It would be her last time because I am from the south side...I would catch that phone, catch that BlackBerry, catch that shoe...hold it in the air...take the phone...in her face, hem her up against the wall and look at the holy terror on her face...If you do not want this phone, this BlackBerry, or this shoe to be a permanent part of your body, you better leave me alone now.”
—Father Ricardo Bailey (08:30–08:50) -
Encouragement for listeners:
“You don't have to be too buffed out. You just have to say, enough is enough and too much is too much.”
—Father Ricardo Bailey (09:08)
