You're a nosy. You want the full sitch? Come to Pop Culture Thursday. Hello and welcome to the J Train Podcast. This is J Train Jared Freed coming alive from New York City. That's right. Every Thursday is a Pop Culture Thursday, where I go to Page Six, I read some articles, and we riff. That's the show. If you have an article that you want to be read or a news item that you want read and spoken about here on Pop Culture Thursday, all you got to do is send it to jtrain podcastmail.com or you can send it to the Instagram account. That's a great way to, like, get involved with this show. Train Podcast, we're posting clips on there that can kind of remind you of the show and let you know when, you know, if you're, like, not a frequent, everyday listener. Oh, shoot. Okay. They're talking about that today. That's a good reason to follow an Instagram account. I had someone, they were like, you know, it could drive you insane if you let it. And sometimes I do. I'm not proud of that. I do think it is human. I think we all do a version of this, of letting a comment or make you believe that this is representative of this large group. And, you know, that's kind of like where we are as a society. Oh. If I really want to be douchey off the bat, Jared, use the word society. Look at you, Jared. It's a Wednesday morning. I'm taping this before I head back to Delray Beach. I got. I got some stories in front of me. Yeah, good reason to follow. Because someone said to me, they go, I, like, I posted something about being in San Francisco. And then, like, now it's weeks later, I wish I knew you were in San Francisco. And then, idiot me, I go to their account. They don't follow me. I'm like, well, how did you expect to know that I was in San Francisco? Was I going to, like, come to your house and knock on the door, hey, Amir, you know, you do have to, like. But again, like, that means they didn't care that much. I'm not saying they should care. I'm saying this is. And I wrote comments back. I go, that's a good reason to follow a comedian. If you. If you're worried about the, you know, seeing them whenever they're in town or having the choice to. I'm not even saying I'm. I'm more saying, follow J Train at J Train podcast on Instagram so that you get me in the game, you know, I get to, you know, be a part of your scroll. And then maybe you say, ah, I gotta get off the Instagram. And then you see me, my face, talking about some advice or I ticked off Tuesday or have a guest and you're like, oh, that'll get me off of this death scroll. So that's what I'm here for, to get you off the death scroll. I'm the death. I'm the anti Death scroll podcast. That's a good merch. Maybe that'll be a T shirt or hat. Anti death scroll with a big skull and crossbones. I'm in a weird mood. Okay. I don't know. I. I was, like, debating taping this. I was like, make a coffee. Maybe the coffee will change your tune. And I. I think it did. It definitely got me up. I'm just scrunched into this hotel room. I'm going to talk more about New York City hotel rooms. And I do have empathy for someone who's like, screw this town. Like, listen, I'm not turning into Florida guy who hates New York City. I'm not doing that. I'm just saying if you're not. If you're not aware of the deal here in New York, when you travel here, you're. You're going to be disappointed. I mean, like, I'm in a room that I'm. I'm lucky to be five, eight and a half on my right leg because if I was five, nine and a half on my right leg, I might not be able to take a. Take a dumper here. The toilet. You wouldn't fit in the toilet. I'm going to take a video of it after I'm done. We have two sponsors. This episode is brought to you by Prize Picks. You and I make decisions every day.

I got some stories here. I mean, the lead story this week, as I'm sure has been discussed already because it's going to be this morning. It's a story. This is a big story. This is actually. They were teasing it and it kind of combines the world that I deal with with the mainstream world or the, the news of the day. Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul is the next Bachelorette. This is a surprise. It's also not a surprise. You know, I can be surprised but not shocked. Is that like what, how I would say it? Surprised but not shocked. I'm surprised because you're taking a and I'm going to say this very meaningfully. You're going to take a hard right both literally and metaphorically on your show. You're making. And this is the. They're making this decision. Listen, I'm a fan of the Bachelor. I just, I love yelling at and making fun of it. This. I've always thought of the Bachelor, the Bachelorette as a petri dish. Okay? It's the same thing. We're going to put different combinations and variables inside the dish and we're going to take a look. So when you cast Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul, it's the same petri dish. It's the same one woman, 30 men. They're all trying to date her. They're all trying to get engaged. To her, there are other. And then there, then there's the, the, the variables. Now the petri dish is full of, okay, she's a Mormon. So there's religious aspects. There's things that she needs from a partner. There's things that she's going to judge part based on. There's the aspect of trying to get famous. Are you here for, you know, she is a huge star on Tik Tok and social media. That's why she has the show. So are these men here for the right reasons? That kind of brings that back. She now becomes this like more than just hot woman on the show. She's a trophy. So you have to be wary of fame seekers. There's also the political climate right now. The people watching tv, they have, I would assume that there's been some math done. This is my assumption. They're like, who's watching tv? Okay, it's the Cinderella crowd. That's who likes our show. It's the woman who wants to see the rags to riches relationship tale. And when you have secret lives of Mormon wives, when you have this Mormon, you know, backdrop, you get a little bit more Cinderella. There's not as jaded, it's not as jaded. It's not as you have the assumption that love is what we're all here for. So you're catering to, I think, a right of center crowd. You're saying, and this is, I know this because comedians do this. You know, when a comedian makes these rules for themselves, they are generally doing it for some sort of payday. I am clean. That is, I don't think, you know, when you do you start clean. Whenever I meet comedians who are like, I'm starting clean, it always feels like a business deal that they're after. Oh, I want to be able to do corporate events. Well, that's not really art. That's art meets business. Again, we're all doing a version that I do that. A version of art meets business. I make decisions, decisions with both in mind. Will this get me to be a better comedian? Will this get me to be, you know, will this be able to make it so I can make a living? These are all decisions we all make. But I think this is kind of what's going on with, you know, we choose the. And also that show's popular, but you're making a choice. You're basically saying we are going in the direction of who watches tv. I would think that the people who are watching cable. And also there's the Hulu, like the, you know, Hulu that's probably done well. Secret Lives of Mormon also, she did it on Call her Daddy podcast. So like she does have her toe. I think they wanted. Now that I'm like talking about this out loud, it's like, do you want right of center TV personality that dips their toe into left of center world or do you want left of center TV personality who dips their toe into right of center world? If you're looking to make money, you go the right of center dipping toe and left. Because that's. If you can go on call her daddy, that means you are this Mormon person who's doing this like religious background show, who dates a certain way, who's looking for a certain partner. I don't drink coffee. I don't drink alcohol. But also I go on a. I go on a podcast, but. But also I go on a podcast where the name of the show is in some sort of dominatrix reference and. And sexual India innuendo and started with two girls who, you know, are gabbing about the sexual exploits of their life. So I do that too. So that's, I think the great money play Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul is looking for love on the Bachelorette. I mean, how angry are some of the past people who went on the Bachelor? Like, I mean, there are some people that wanted to be in the running that you go outside of the world. There's some angry folks. The 31 year old was revealed to be the franchise of Season 22 lead on Wednesday's Call Her Daddy episode. The announcement came as a surprise considering Paul is not only a Hulu star, but the forthcoming season was slated to be another rendition of the Bachelor. So they basically went from the Bachelor to the Bachelorette. Get rid of. Well, because she's a huge star, they probably gave her big money too. I mean, also, they kind of tested the waters. They had that Latia girl. Latia was like a test. And her with her family, I mean, it almost felt like AI they were created in an AI world. They were so Disney fied and it's like. And. And again, like having some experience with the Bachelor nation. I know there are people here for Cinderella. There are people watching this show. They want to see a woman fall in love, get her love story. I don't care. You saw it with Bachelor in Paradise. People are like, oh my God, it's a game show now. Well, they still had three couples that left the show that seemed pretty as happy as any other Bachelor in Paradise couple. But people bailed on it. Because they were like, oh, there's this money element. I don't know. Spencer and Jess seemed like they were pretty gaga for each other. Andrew and Alex, same with them as as much as any other Bachelor in Paradise couple. The network gushed in a press release that the Utah native is ready to trade headline making heartbreak for hometown dates as she begins making her mark on Bachelor Nation. This is the Jetsons meets the Flintstones. This is a crossover, the statement continued. Paul is the breakout star of the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, captivating millions with a raw, unapologetic storytelling off screen. She's a TikTok powerhouse whose comedic, heartwarming and bitingly honest content. Oh my, what an eye roll for me. Has earned her a massive following. It highlighted her as a single mother of three. Single mother of three. Oh, my God. What? What guy with a straight face I'd like to like, listen, single mother of three, good luck to you. The fact that these men are lining up. I mean, I guess you'd be. If you're a fa. Single father of three, that's a good prospect to be on the show. You can do your own, like, step by step type of thing. It's highlighted her as a. It highlighted her as a single mother of three. As the reality star shares daughter Indy, son Ocean and with Indy shares daughter Indy Sun Ocean with ex Tate Paul and son Ever with ex boyfriend Dakota Mortensen. Okay, yeah, the. It's going to be hard for me to make fun of this season. I mean, listen, how old is she? She's 32. Three kids, two different guys now going on the bat. I mean, I'm sure she's making tons of money. So, like the money angle is like, what you going to do? She's going to be fine. Paul notably will be the second Bachelorette lead to have children prior to the show, with Emily Maynard being the first in 2012. It's not having children. It's. There's a lot going on here. Mormon, three kids, different husbands. I mean, there's a lot going. I mean, there's a lot to. Well, that's the other thing is like, you know, TikTok stars, they. You have to. You have to feel seen by them. So she makes a single mother feel seen. It's going to be. This is a direction. Paul shares the highs and lows of her life with unfiltered candor. The press release concluded. With humor, resilience and a fearless openness, she inspires others to embrace life's chaos and own their story. Alex Cooper teased the Call her daddy reveal with an Instagram upload. I mean a change of plans. The podcast host 31. It is also to be noted that Alex Cooper has her own dating show coming out and she's promoting this dating show which is pretty wild. Paul opened up the listeners about her dating preferences, including her future match. Having children not being a deal breaker at all. I would hope not. While the men need to be willing to move to Utah. Okay. She did clarify that this is not necessary for them to share her Mormon faith. I do preferably want someone that believes does believe in God, the TikTok star noted, because when you're raising children it can be confusing when one does and one doesn't. But also I'm up for hearing their side. I'd like to hear, I'd like to watch her hear my mom's side on the whole, you know, Mormon take. I I so they show her with her kids and her ex boyfriend with their one year old. Okay, well let's see how this goes. I am, I wouldn't call myself excited as much as I'm like curious. Okay, listen, I got a great. This is the time of year for grilling. There's a little bit of a chill in the air. That means you want to be outside and then go inside. You want to go out and be around a flame. That crisp chill in the air means it's the perfect time for steaks on the grill. The world's best steak experience.

I'm going to be in Winnipeg this weekend. Win Winnipeg, Ontario, I think going to be in Winnipeg, in Kansas City. So come to a show. Come to a show. Also the YouTube. We got new standup on the YouTube every week. I'm still processing the. The Mormon wise thing. I do believe in what I say, that this is a money play. This isn't like, you know, it's been a. It's a popular show, huge crossover. Here's a way of getting an audience that we have kind of forgotten about. The Cinderella audience is there, they care about and she kind of offers that with also a little spice. Cinderella with spice. That could be merch for her ex. Royal butler lifts lid on family riffs. Disney princess Meghan Markle and how there's no coming back for Prince Harry. Page six will make a meal out of any royal story. They have a royal family section. They love the royal family at page six. Of the people that I would want to go to, page 6 Butler is probably the last on the list. They probably know the most about you. That could be made into an embarrassing story. Now do I think the ex butler lifts lid on family riffs? I don't think this. I think this headline would infer that they have more information than they do. We're going to get to the article, but I'm trying to think. I'm like, man, a butler, a cleaning person, someone you know, your housekeeper. Those are housekeeper, babysitter, nanny, butler are all people you don't want going to the papers. That's the girlfriend, boyfriend. Yeah, those are two. I don't. But I think, like, it's underrated because a butler could say things in a different tone. This happens with comedians. If they say your joke in the tone, it's not meant to be said. You sound evil. Like it loses all. You know, they're like comedy takes timing and it's like you Know, it's like. And then the minute there's something angry to say, they take away the timing and then they go, look what he said. And you're like, well, it wasn't said like that. Like, I got posted on one of those, like, are we dating the same guy? Facebook groups. Because this woman or person, I don't even know if it was a woman. Someone hated me. We didn't even go on a date. She just posted this, like, fan fiction. And one of the things she wrote, she goes. And he says that the worst thing that could ever happen to him is a girlfriend. And I'm like, well, when you put it that way, yeah, that sounds like I'm being saying a woman will ruin your life. What I meant is that for any single person. But, like, now that I'm explaining it, it sounds even less funny. But it was said in a funny way. You know, it's like you strip all the context from it. It sounds bad. I think a butler or a cleaning woman could do that. It's like, yeah, you should see the toilets. The toilets, when Jared is done with them, he doesn't even, like, aim correctly. Like, it's just. He doesn't even think to use the brush. He just leaves it. They're a mess. And it's like, that's different than Jared, you know, has some stomach issues. Like, they could change the context on a story to make it sound really bad. He polished silver for kings, poured tea for queens, and stood quietly in the shadows as royal dramas played out. But now one witness to the Windsor's most private moments is pulling back the curtain. Former Buckingham palace butler Grant Harold reveals Prince Philip's searing forward verdict on Prince Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle, why King Charles will never again trust him, and William's plan to modernize the monarchy in his bombshell new book of the Royal Butler. So this is all to promote a book. And then they get some quotes that are a little bit saucy. The king doesn't trust Harry because of what Harry said. He worried that he would use it to his advantage. And he has. Harold told Page Six. Well, again, like, this is so vague. I mean, here's the thing. I'm looking at the butler. If you go to the article, he's too young to trust we. This is one of those things. Where was he a butler or was he like the door guy and they all have the same butler title. Listen, I'll relate this to comedy. I. You know, when, you know, people put up a picture of them performing At a club. But they, you know, took the class at the club. And at the end of your class, you get to perform in front of your parents and do a show. And then they put it up online. They go, look at me performing at the Comedy Cellar. And then they come to me and they go, oh, I have a friend who performs at the Comedy Cellar all the time. And I go, really? What's their name? And then they show, say their name. I go, I have never met them. And then they go, look at. Here's a picture of them at the Commissar. I'm like, yeah, that's their, like posing in front of the sign picture at the end of the, you know, the class they took. So again, to bring it back to the butler, like, do I believe he was like, like, you gotta look more like Alfred for me to buy that, you know, all the inside scoop on the family. Because right now he looks too much like he would host the Amazing Race. And not that he's been like. Like, I would need him to. It hurts him. The look hurts him is what I'm saying. They were all so close. And to see their. That relationship completely destroyed, I do not see them coming back from it. Harry, 40, is in the UK. Oh, the Harry. Prince Harry, where he is rumored to have an audience with the King, but Harold warns. So Harold's the. The quote unquote butler. I'm not buying it. But Harold warns he and Megan's podcast, book and TV deals rule them out of any significant re entry to the royal circle. If they reconcile, then fall out again, what's to say there won't be another book, Netflix series or interview about it? Yeah, I don't think Harold has more information than we do. I think Harold wasn't the main butler. That's my assumption. Harold, who was butler to king Charles between 2004 and 2011 when his title was Prince of Wales. So he was King Charles. Butler said that William and Harry are still incredibly close during his service. Yeah, a dad was close with his sons. Yeah, we know. He didn't say much. I don't know. Too young. You got to look like Alfred to give you the inside scoop. I love this headline because it actually leads us to believe that Kendall Jenner was ever a model. Kendall Jenner reveals plans to quit modeling for modest new job. Love the simple life. Here's the thing. Okay. What do you think the modest new job is? I don't think it's like working in the garden. Like, I don't think she's going to Become a farmer and start selling at the farmer's market. I don't think that's her modest new job. Here's the thing. This is like Kendall Jenner. Yeah, she was the model one. But the model stuff, to me, it's demeaning to anyone who, like, treats modeling as an art, which, listen, I'm not the person to. I'm not gonna like, I wouldn't like, stand up and defend modeling as an art, but I can understand that someone would. And they'd be like, yeah, Kendall Jenner just gets to be is, you know, like she's hot and has money and has connections, like that jumps the line. And modeling, Kendall Jenner is all about the simple life, the supermodel. I need supermodel. Listen, I'm not saying she's not beautiful. I'm not saying she's not a good model. I'm just saying, like, it's. She's a business mogul too. Like, this is not what she does for money. This is was never her career. The supermodel has revealed plans to quit her high powered modeling career and step out of the spotlight for good, instead shifting her focus to her true passion, home design. This is her saying, stop calling me. The Kardashian star has grown up in the public eye, making a reality TV debut at just 11 years old on their family show Keeping up with the Kardashians. Right? So, like, I guess it's hard. She kind of wins at all aspects because if you call her a child star, she'd be like, no, I was just on this show that happened to be going on in my living room. I don't believe that's how the show happens. Since then, the Kardashians Jenner clan inked a lucrative deal with Hulu for the continuation of the reality series Through Though the Runway star admits to Vogue magazine that it's not her biggest cup of tea. Yeah, well, I can understand that as well. Like, you kind of like, had to do it. I swear to God, I'm going to stop everything and just design homes. I'm not kidding. Jenner told the outlet in an interview Monday alongside fellow Catwalk star Gigi Hadid. I would say it is funny to me there is a socioeconomic angle to this. It's like she's like, I'm going to stop everything and do another job that you can do just by saying you do it. Like, every job that a Kardashian Jenner does is a job that, like someone is doing with education that maybe they didn't need. To have, like, it's either you get the education, or you are the. A rich person with the family background. Like, I saw the other day, Nev Schulman, who created the Catfish show, he's on his bike on a TikTok being like, I'm riding around Manhattan to show you your newest home. And it was like a big reveal that he is now selling real estate. Listen. Selling real estate. Great job, great career. Good for you. Is that a happy turn in his life from my angle? No. Like, I don't think Nev Schulman was like. Was. Was saying, one day I'll show people their apartment. Now do I think he's. That's how it was present. I don't think Nev Shulman was like, I got nothing. I. I gotta pay these bills. I gotta start showing Pete. I gotta start showing, you know, college graduates, new, you know, apartments they could rent in Chelsea. I don't think that's what happened. I do think someone came to him and was like, listen, man, you got a following and people know you. And you, if you just get your real estate license, you've got a way to, like, you've got your own marketing company that you can put out your services to all these people and make this much money and look at how much. So you go. And then he goes, okay, yeah, that's a good idea for my life. Instead of pitching to, you know, networks that are dying every day to. Instead of going with my new TV show, where I'm going to do Catfish Abroad, he's like, you know what? Screw it. I can go on TikTok and be like, does anyone need to buy a home? Sell one home a month, and I'll, you know, I'll make my nut. And it's the same thing as, like, you know, there's someone out there who's, like, hacking it and, like, studied real estate and knows the market and knows. And all of that doesn't matter in comparison to Nev Shulman having an audience and having eyeballs. So you're not going to, like, get a good real estate broker and Nev Shulman. Not today. He's been doing it 10 minutes. But you know who he is. You trust him. You followed him on social media. He's recovering from this bike injury that he had a few months ago. You know, about his life. You know, the guy who's been doing it 30 years, that has no audience, but has all the education and knows, you know, in the market and everything, you don't know where to find him. So that's kind of the same thing with every Jenner Kardashian job. They enter. You know, when you say, she's like, I'm just gonna design homes. It's easy to design homes when you have like, oh, people comment you on your home. Yeah. You have endless amounts of dough. The creative vision is you copied something else you saw somewhere else that someone else did. There's someone with like a real background in like interior design, which gets kind of looked down upon because of this. There's someone that's like a professional interior designer. That. That to me. And listen, you might not look at it this way. That Kendall Jenner is insulting by going, I'm just going to design homes. And that's like, that's frustrating to nobody but that person who's the interior designer. You and I don't give a shit. We would say that they sound like a miserable, bitter, like. I mean, this gets said to me. If Kendall Jenner was like, I'm just gonna stop. Start doing. Look at what Amanda Knox did. Stand up comedy. She's all over the place. Amanda Knox, right? The foxy Knoxy. The one that was accused of murder. She's now telling her story at the Tacoma Comedy Club. It's like, you know, if I say and then they go, she got a lot of laughs. Like, her opener has been doing it for 10 years. But they're bitter. All right, let's do. I love this story because it is so not fair. Britney Cartwright, who was married to Jax Taylor and who just can't get off of the Page Six airways. Brittany Cartwright. Cartwright clarifies her relationship status with married new beau. Like, this story is such a non story because she's dating someone who's going through a divorce. That's what I see. If you see this and go, Britney Cartwright's dating a married guy and is open about it. What do you think she's like a WWE heel? That's right. I'm dating this guy and his wife's off, you know, feeding their kids and who gives a about that? I got my guy. And then she makes out with him. Like, you think that's what's going on? No, he's going through a divorce. You can date while going through a divorce. Some divorces take a year, four years. Britney Cartwright isn't rushing into anything serious with her married bow. Her new with her married beautiful. Oh, really? The Vanderpump Rules alum sets the record straight on her relationship status on Tuesday, telling TMZ that she and her reported new man Brandon Hansen are still taking things slow. Yeah, they have to. And also, she's recently out of something, so this is kind of like the perfect thing. Oh, you're going through a divorce. I'm going through a thing. Okay, let's date. We're technically not boyfriend and girlfriend just yet. She said no, but noted that they've known each other for 15 years. That's more salacious. Known each other for 15 years. Now we're dating after going through divorce and my own breakup. If I'm on the other side of this. Listen, I'm not defending Jax. I'm not defending this guy's ex wife, but you go, was there always something there? Did no one. The idea that you have these aha moments of like, oh, wait a minute, I'd fuck her. No, that's not what how it works. I met him back in Kentucky. She shared, okay. She gets so much crap. People really, it's almost like they feel like, I guess the dating Jax thing or married him. Cartwright went on to gush that Hansen is a great person, great father, and all around good person. But while he's making her happy, the two are still just seeing how it goes. We're focused on having fun and doing our thing right now, she said, adding, I really like him. I would put this under the headline of these are two people that are hooking up and they're never going to be in a relationship, because to talk this openly before being in a thing. I don't think you're taking it that seriously. Cartwright's comments come shortly after Hansen was put on blast by his wife, Jacina Stanko, via social media for dating while still being married. Okay, well, that's not. Well, so let's see what she said, because I don't think that's fair if you're going through a divorce. He's my husband. She wrote in a TikTok video. Oh, my God. Commenting on the news of his new romance with Cartwright. She followed up the post in another comment, that man is married. Well, that is maybe true, but like, at the time, a source told us the situation is actually more complex than it seems. Of course it is. She's angry at him. They have a kid together. She's trying to wrangle him in and get him off these. He's probably taking trips with Britney and being posted in all these, you know, on these. In these photos on TMZ and Page Six. And she's going, him, I need to bring him back down to earth. So she post, he's married. And everyone goes, what and it's like, well, yeah, we're getting a divorce, but there's more to it. And who cares? Him. Britney's new relationship comes at a time as they both are experiencing similar life changes. The insider told us. Britney, like, Britney, he's going through a divorce, right? Of course he is. And he and his ex have been separated for the past seven months. Of course they are. Cartwright, 36. And you think he was just like running out and dating? Oh, I got a kid and a wife at home. Really? Oh, yeah. I guess those guys are back there, huh? I didn't realize they would hear about this. Cartwright, 36, and Hanson reconnected after they had already been separated. We were told at the time, yeah, that's how it goes. And you have an angry ex wife who's sitting there with the kid in her hand and she's going, what the fuck? And I don't blame her for being angry. It makes sense. All right, let's do one more, then we'll get out of here. Okay. I like this story because I've done some stories where I've, I've gone against the celebrities and they're like body issue claims. This is one I agree with. Selena Gomez addresses fat shaming and weight issues that cause years of insecurity. And I feel for Selena Gomez. You're a child star. You grow up on. You have to grow up in front of cameras while being, while photos are getting taken of you. You have a, like, you're not like this. You're not a Jenner. You're not Kendall Jenner. You're not like gonna, like, you have a rounder face. I mean, she's beautiful. I. When she was doing those videos during the pandemic where she was like, single and out there, I was like, oh, my God, she's like gorgeous. She's got curves. But I can understand, like, she has to grow up going through all the bi. Like, if all of us had our photos taken from 16 until now, you'd be like. And then had to hear from like 48 year old women in Des Moines. You'd be like, it would fuck you up too. Selena Gomez addressed the relentless body shaming she faced over the years. And it's like, relentless because you're dealing with Internet comments or she's had a lifetime of Internet commenters, people commenting on everything she does. So. And it's like, you can't avoid it forever. She's faced over the years and had a leads to years of insecurity and inner turmoil. I've dealt With a lot of weight issues in my life, and that's something I'm very sensitive to. It's for the allure cover story. The singer, 33, explains she's actively battles these thoughts and insecurities through dialect. Through dialectical behavior therapy. I've never heard of that. Which is a type of talk therapy for. People experience emotions very intensely, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Like, I just can't imagine going through all those body changes, life changes, age changes, and then also being a woman. Like, you know, the makeup on, makeup off, the difference between, you know, you get painted up before these events and you look like, you know, you know, a supermodel, then you have to come back down there. It's just a big swing, I think, in a way that none of us have to deal with. I got stung by a person saying I was fat. Why is that emotion coming up? Gomez says, I'm analyzing why she's triggered by certain comments. Gomez described DBT treatment as peeling away layers and connecting the dots. Oh, now I understand that's stemming from that one time. I was going through some medical stuff, and I had gained weight. I just. They show picture after picture of her, and listen, some people are just prone to fluctuation. I am one of those people. So I look at these pictures of her, and, like, they're showing every version of Selena Gomez. And then you have to, like, be on camera. You have to go on car, and then people are taking pictures of you on vacation. Can you imagine? They show. One of the pictures is from her vacation just hanging out. It's like some rando.

Like, someone should show this to Jennifer Aniston and be like, is this what you meant by staying positive? That's what helps you stay young. Like, that's what is annoying. It's. Yeah, I.
