Lauren LaRosa
All right, guys, welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back to the podcast. Welcome on back. I'm Lauren. Lauren LaRosa. This is the latest with Lauren LaRosa. And today we got a couple things to talk about. So I started off this podcast with talking to y'all about how it's just been so crazy for me to be the news versus the news. I'm reaching out to create. And I was. I didn't feel like there was a need to. To not address because it's not. It's not a negative situation, but I didn't feel like there was a need for me to bring the interview that I did with Car Carlos King here on the podcast. I don't know why I felt like that, though, because I've been getting. When I tell y'all, first of all, I want to say shout out to Carlos King. Carlos King reached out to me a, a while ago and just was like, you know, I really love what you're doing. I like how you move in. Just wanted to say hello. After I had met him at Angela. He was at Angela Yee's show. And I'm a. I'm a fan of Carlos Kings. He was at Angela Yee show and I just was like, I want to go say hi to him. So I went and said, hey. And then he was like, no, I'm a fan of yours. And I was like, child, what? A fan of who? Not Carlos King brought Nene Leakes to Real Housewives of Atlanta, OG Caster, Real Housewives of Atlanta. Carlos King. I'm like, fan of who? What? But after that, he had reached out to me and was just like, yo, whatever you need, let me know. And I'm like, oh, that is so sweet. So when. When he reached out to do the interview, because I'm not going to lie to y'all, I was like, all right, I want to do some interviews to promote the podcast and, you know, all those things, but I don't want to keep rehashing the same conversation. Everybody's going to want to talk about the Live and the Breakfast Club stuff and blah, blah, blah, blah. But I was like, I mean, I can't not. I can't not do what I got to do for this show because of that. And how dare me not want to do press, because hard questions is going to be asked. So I had a real talk with myself, and I was like, self. And myself was like, yes. And I was like, girl, go and do what you need to do for that podcast to, you know, continue to build a brand. People need to get to know you. They do. They have to get to know you. So I was like, as of today, the interview has been out two days now. Has it been two days? Oh, Patrick is here, y'all. And I made him mic up today. But, yeah, it's. It's been, you know, we said, what? Two days? What did you say?
- [03:20]
Patrick
Two days.
- [03:20]
Lauren LaRosa
Two days. Two days. It's been two days since the Carlos King interview release. I've gotten so much good feedback from that interview. Even the feedback that wasn't good, I don't even care. Like, I've learned to deal with all of the. The old aunties who are upset, the people in the Instagram comments who don't know me from a campaign who are. Who are upset. I've slowly been learning to deal with all of that and, like, blocking it out. And sometimes I think certain things can be not all noise is bad noise. I'ma just say that. And Carlos is cool. You know what I mean? We not the best of friends, but from the interactions we've had, Carlos has been really sweet to me. So I wasn't expecting him to, like, you know what I mean? Rah, rah, rah at all. But in real Carlos King fashion, I knew he was going to get to the bottom of the things that he wanted to know. And I felt really, really good about the interview. After I was done, my anxiety kicked in while waiting for it to release because we did it, I think, like, three. Yeah, maybe like three days before you guys saw it, before it hit. And then I got the tag on the collaborative post for the real, for the video he posted, and I'm like, dang, this with the. This. This what the other people on the other side be feeling like when. When we do that, when I'm doing the interviews, when me, Breakfast Club, all of us, we doing the interviews. And because we don't, it's not like you're allowed to see the interviews before they go live. Like, that is just not a thing that just doesn't happen. This is what they be feeling like, Lauren. So it was a good lesson for me of, like, okay, now that you understand how people on the other side of this feel, because you're on the other side of it, people are talking about you. People do want to know certain things. You know what I mean? Like, take that. Take, take heed for when you doing those interviews and you. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm still gonna ask the questions, but I do think that this whole experience is making me, like, such a. Like, I'm seeing the full vision of, like, my subject almost. Because I am a journalist. I do interview celebrities and talk to people on trending topics and things of that nature, as y'all know. But I've never been on the other side of it. I've never been the topic because I've always worked for platforms like a tmz, where the brand is the name that people know, not you. So, yeah, I. I was nervous, but I think it was a good interview. Patrick, what'd you think about it? What did you think about it in person?
- [05:37]
Patrick
It was good. It was really good, and it was honest.
- [05:40]
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, you kind of can't hide anything when everything's out there on the Internet anyway. But, yeah, I felt good about it. One of the things, though, that I knew when I saw it, when he put that part where I said I bullied my way into the Breakfast Club guest post position, I said, lord, the just bots are about to be in my comments, blowing me up. And if you watch in full context, you will understand exactly what I mean by that. One of the things that I really did enjoy about that interview, though, and the reception that it got, you know, from people, as people are coming to me and calling me and texting me and DMing me about it, mad people I don't know, like, people I've never met a day in my life. A lot of people are like, yo, it's Just inspiring to see somebody really build from the ground up and have that mentality of, like, yo, there's going to be integrity in this. I'm going to have morals in this, but by any means necessary. My life depends on. And I said that in the interview. But I think that it really inspire people who. Like, I had so many people hit me up like, yo, I want to bet on myself so bad. And I've been trying to figure out when and how and all these things. And I watched this interview, and it was the answer. It was. It was what I needed to hear and see, to feel inspired and motivated. And that made me feel really good, too, because I think a lot of times when you in it like, y'all, when I first moved back from LA and I was trying to figure everything out, and I'm sitting in my apartment that I moved into with no steady income, I'm just taking production gigs as I could get them, you know, I kind of was like, man, what am I going to do? Rent ain't stopping because ESPN just let me go as a writer. That happened. I moved into an apartment. I thought I had these, you know, these checks lined up. And then gigs just started like, yeah, we gonna go another direction. I'm like, wait, what? Hold up, hold on, wait. Cause how I'm gonna pay this rent? And New York, New Jersey rent ain't cheap, y'all. But it worked itself out. And in those moments, I feel like that's when I really, really, really, really had to be like, all right, bro, so you really trying to do this or what? Because if you're not really trying to do this, you have an amazing resume, you've worked with amazing companies you've done. Not even just journalism wise, but I have a degree in marketing. You could go get. Like, there's a lot you could do, sis. And I was like, nope, head down. I'ma do it. That's when I knew, like, oh, baby, me and this whole journalism build the brand of Lauren LaRosa thing. We go together real, real bad, okay? Because I'm going through the mud about you, period. So make sure you guys go take a look at that interview and let me know what you guys think again. Shout out to Carlos. Hey, mama. I'm not my girl. Hold on. What'd you say? Mama?
- [08:30]
Mom
How far are you from that country where that thing. That thing crashed?
- [08:35]
Lauren LaRosa
If I wanted to get there in the car right now, probably like, what, 10 minutes away.
- [08:39]
Mom
Yeah, 10 minutes away.
- [08:41]
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. So it's right up the street.
- [08:43]
Mom
Don't Go near there.
- [08:45]
Lauren LaRosa
I'm not. I'm gonna go home. It's sad, though, what happened, right? Yes.
- [08:49]
Patrick
And.
- [08:50]
Mom
And I'm just. I'm glad you don't have to ride no plane. None. Strange things are happening toward the ending of the world. God is trying to prove something, trying to let folks fulfill what he's written in the Bible. Whatever. All this happened now is written in the Bible. It just takes a person to explain it all.
- [09:10]
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
- [09:11]
Mom
Yeah.
- [09:12]
Lauren LaRosa
Well, no, I'm not. I'm not on any planes today, but I'm recording the podcast, so I gotta. I gotta call you back as soon as I'm done. I know. I. I was supposed to call you back yesterday.
- [09:22]
Mom
You're all right. Call me when you get home, okay? All right.
- [09:25]
Lauren LaRosa
All righty. All right. Love you. My mom and my grandma are so happy, number one, that I'm closer to home. Number two, she said, I'm glad you're not in the air no more. I just told y'all, like, I have a very extensive resume. I used to be a flight attendant for Delta, and it would freak my mom and my grandmother out whenever they would hear a plane crash. They would instantly call me, text me, anything they could do. And they still, as you guys just saw, they still do it. So again, like me, like the men, the sacrifices I took for this, we go together real bad. And I don't care what nobody got to say about nothing anywhere at all. Baby, listen, we gonna figure. We gonna figure this thing out. This gonna work, okay? This is going to be an Emmy nominated show, okay? Mark my words, kinks, bugs and all. Now let's go on over to the next topic. Next topic. So Khloe Kardashian, Anytime Khloe decides that she is going to talk about her love life whatsoever, it goes insane because we've publicly seen her just make some very, like, dumb, love struck decisions behind Tristan. We also have seen her be super supportive and ride or die. A ride or die is probably not the best word for Lamar because he almost did die, but y'all know what I mean. She sticks by her men, regardless of what they're going through, what they're putting her through, and what is happening. So the headline read that Khloe, that Khloe Kardashian is finally tired of being a doormat for. For the men in her life, including Lamar Odom and Tristan Thompson. And I said, oh, baby, let me read this, because ain't no way my good sis is done. She decided to have a whole nother baby with Tristan, after all of that motorboating, them women, Jordyn woods, ain't no way she done now. And if so, what was the miraculous discovery that she didn't realize a long time ago? And don't get me wrong, like, this is not me bashing her. This is me being very honest. Cause I've been the dumb girlfriend again. Back to the Carlos King interview. If you go take a listen to that Carlos King interview, we talk about the relationship that I came out of, the 10, 11 year relationship I came out of. I've been through a lot, okay? Babies were had. Baby. A baby was had. You know, there was cheating, but I cheat back. So, you know. You know how that go. All of that. Like, I've been through things, and I think it's. It's common for women to have to. You got to go through it to learn versus being able to just walk away when somebody cheats versus being able to be like, you know, I'm good when you're being mistreated, even if it's not cheating. She was having a conversation with Kylie and Kendall, and they were talking about the way that she treated Lamar Odom when Lamar Odom came to pick up some of his stuff that had been left at one of their houses. And if you guys don't know, if you did not see that episode, if you didn't read a recap or anything, what happened was, is when Lamar came over, he was still kind of on some, like, yo, you were one of the best women in my life. I should have treated you better. Like, if Chloe had said, okay, come on, I'm gonna give you another chance right then and there. Oh, baby. Lamar would have been all down and forward, okay? But Khloe was heavily not on that. The stiff arm was real. So then they basically say to her, Kendall and Kylie say to her, look, we understand that you feel how you feel, but you should learn to forgive these men. They were talking about Lamar Odom and Tristan. They said, you know, you have kids with Tristan, so you kind of have to. Y'all have kids together. And you and Lamar, it's like, hey, what happened, happened? You got to move on and forgive for yourself. Because it was obvious that she was still a little, you know, bothered and upset just by Lamar's presence. But I just think when you allow for something to happen for so long and you. You basically teach a person how to treat you and you teach them how to treat you wrong or allow for that to happen, I don't really think you can be mad at Them for real. I think the anger is very misdirected. Where was. Where's the self accountability and these men and the things that they have, you know what I mean, she's encountered with them. And I'm not talking about Lamar's addiction because I think addiction, in my opinion, I'm always going to say that addiction is something that you can't control. And the things that you do while you're addicted to these things, you know, a lot of times it's not you, it's the addiction. And that doesn't make excuses for things. You know what I mean? But I think that's just a different conversation than like a Tristan. But there, obviously there are some addictions over there on Tristan's side too. It just doesn't have anything to do with, you know, drugs that you got to put anywhere. It's drugs that you got to stick a penis into that don't belong to Chloe and that. That's the T. But I think that there should be some self accountability here. And I think that's always what's missing with Chloe. It's like, at what point do you be like, yeah, I set myself up for that. And she's realizing it now, but it's like, why? And I think that honestly, too, that there's levels to like, you know, hurtful, dark breakups in relationships, like, removing yourself from it. There's definitely levels to that. I remember for myself when I was going through the motions of, like, okay, I know I want to leave my relationship, but I know because I've allowed certain things or I've been not okay with certain things. Like, I wasn't allowing things right in my face. I was. I was effing stuff up. Like, I wish somebody. Like, it was like a no. But there were things that were happening that I would be like, okay, things, you know, he's apologizing, moving forward, and then they would happen again. It wasn't until probably like the latter of the relationship, so probably like the last three years of the relationship, that I even felt secure and comfortable where I was. Like, no, things have really changed now, and we're fine. But by that point, I was in such a deep phase of resentment, and I was just trying to, like, not be there. And I was. I just. I just wasn't happy. But I tried to push through. I tried to push through. I tried to push through, but I had to do that for myself. And that's what I'm saying by Chloe of like, it's like, why now? Like, I don't believe that Chloe has actually done that for herself yet. What I just talked about happened with myself. I don't believe she's done that. And the reason why I don't believe that she's done that is because she just had a baby with Tristan. I believe her son. How old is her son, Patrick? Two.
- [15:40]
Patrick
Born 20. 22. So, yeah.
- [15:42]
Lauren LaRosa
So he's turning three or he is just turned. Turning three in July. Yes. So that was just two years ago. And that's a lot of time. Don't get me wrong. That is a lot of time. So maybe you know what I'm saying? And I know in these episodes she's showing different things and they're doing different things. They were living in separate houses at one point and all that stuff, but I just don't know if she's completely really done the work. So a lot of times when she jumps out the window and makes these statements, it's like, girl, do you just want attention or something? Because, duh, like, yes. No one should use you as a doormat. Duh. The episode where she was talking to Lamar was almost like she was mad at Lamar because he just came out of it and realized, yo, you were such a good woman to me. Because she fought for him. She fought literally for his life. She alleged that, like, his dad wanted to pull the plug, and she fought back against that and all this stuff. But it's like, he's done. It took him some time to come around. You can't be upset that you stayed there during, like, after all of this, you decided to stay around and do whatever you were doing while you weren't receiving the moment that you're getting right now. Same thing with Tristan. So I'm just. I mean, I would say I'm interested to see if, you know, what happens, what backpedaling happens after this revelation of her not wanting to be anybody's doormat again and if she is even really single, because you just never know with Chloe. I don't think my girl is done with Tristan. Number one, I don't think she's done being a welcome to my apartment, welcome to my home, welcome to my mansion. Doormat number two. And number three, I wouldn't be surprised if she literally, if she did move on, if she ended up back in the same situation, because, again, I don't think that she's just in a place where she's ready to take accountability for allowing certain things. And that means she's going to allow it again. Yeah. Whoa. That. That story almost triggered me y'all men be really meaning. Okay, y'all, this has been the Latest with Laura LaRosa. As always, I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everybody and everything, and at the end of the day, y'all could be anywhere with anyone to talking about these things. But y'all are right here with me. So y'all know I appreciate you guys. I'll see you guys in my next episode.
