Let's get to it. Time to do it.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everybody. You know she don't lie about that, right?
Kim Kardashian
Lauren came in hot he.
Lauren LaRosa
Hey, y', all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa. And this is the latest with Lauren LaRosa. This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room, baby. Now today, hopping right on into it, we gonna do a little breakdown of an interview because Kim Kardashian and Kanye west and their whole situation has made major headlines. So Kim Kardashian sat down with Call Her Daddy podcast and she Got very candid. The interview was about an hour, 45 minutes long. I watched a full interview, start to finish. And one of the things that I always say when I watch Call Her Daddy podcast is that the host of that podcast, she has such a. Like, she's so chill. Like, she's there, she's in pajamas, her shoes are off. And I think, you know, now at this point, because the podcast is so big, people are fans of the podcast, so they come wanting to talk. They understand the numbers, the power to platform all the things, right? But I think she has this, like, innocent, oh, my God way about making the talent that she's sitting with feel comfortable. They just let it all out, and. And, you know. And Kim Kardashian, you know, she is still Kim Kardashian. So I'm sure a lot of this was strategic. And they didn't talk about the Ray J cease and desist that they sent Ray J. So I'm pretty sure this was strategic. There were probably some things that were off limits. But let me tell y' all something. Kim got into it. So they begin the conversation with a little game where Kim has to, you know, pull these little, like, notes out of a bowl, and it gives you, like, different things that you have to call people and say. In addition to that, they also were just, like, bullet, like, you know, spitfire. Let's go through everything, you know, you've heard about you online or I've heard about you online, and you let me know if it's true or false. So Alexis, who is the host of Call Her Daddy, asked Kim Kardashian about dating Tom Brady, which was a huge rumor, by the way. Never confirmed. Huge rumor. Let's take a listen to what Kim had to say.
Hunter (Hunting for Answers Host)
How serious were you and Tom Brady?
Kim Kardashian
Oh, my God.
Hunter (Hunting for Answers Host)
Like a date.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, you're not gonna answer that one?
Kim Kardashian
I'm not gonna answer.
Lauren LaRosa
And that's how I know that no matter how comfortable Kim Kardashian is, she still knows where she's going and where she's not going. She's very in control of what's happening, because that right there. So Kim has made headlines about Kanye west and him not seeing his kids for months in this interview and all the things that would have been a major story, and she gave it nothing. Not a thing at all. Now, Kim Kardashian also talks about the fact that Kanye west hasn't seen or heard from or Kim Kardashian and her children have not. She alleges they haven't heard or seen Kanye west in months. Right. And after they talk about this, there's a real honest conversation about what her experience was like dealing with Kanye west as he went through various mental episodes and kind of how she begin to feel the relationship changing because of his mental health and everything that he struggles with in that dynamic. Let's take a listen to that.
Hunter (Hunting for Answers Host)
What were the early signs that your.
Lauren LaRosa
Relationship with him was changing?
Kim Kardashian
I mean, I, I think there's obviously, you know, people can say that there was like signs and maybe I didn't, wasn't paying attention to them. And I think when someone has like their first like mental break, you know, you want to be super supportive and you want to like help figure that out and you want to really get into that with them and be there for them. But I think that it just when someone was, you know, isn't willing to make changes that I think would be super healthy and beneficial and it makes it really hard to continue on in a relationship that can be toxic.
Lauren LaRosa
Now I know people love to kick the Kardashians backs in. And I know for a fact that when things were happening with Kanye west, because I was, I was watching us do it. When things were happening with Kanye west, one of the things we always said was, and I mean, look, I'm a black woman, so I'm always say yeah, and be with a black woman. But I know that a lot of people had, you know, and their thoughts were because Kanye west is over there with them Kardashians. All these things are happening. And to be honest, after watching this interview, number one, I felt like Kim was very genuine. She was very candid, very honest. After watching this interview, I feel like she was doing the best that she could do. It is very tough to deal with anyone going through any type of disability whatsoever. Mental health challenges are like, you can't predict certain things. You just don't know what you're getting and who you're getting. And we see Kanye west from the outside looking in and we feel overwhelmed. I see people say all the time, Kanye, please take us out the chat. Imagine that is who you are living with, who you are raising kids with. Imagine that. All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half truth is a whole lie.

Eva Longoria
I'm Eva Longoria. And I'm Maite Gomez Jejon. And on our podcast Hungry for History, we mix two of our favorite things, food and history. Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells, and they called these Osterkan to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster.
Lauren LaRosa
No way. Bring back the ostracon.

It blows me away how progressive Mexico was in this moment. They had land reform, they had labor rights, they had education rights. Mustard seeds were so valuable to the ancient Egyptians that they used to place them in their tombs for the afterlife.

Lauren LaRosa
Now, another thing that Kim talked about here that I thought was pretty interesting was the fact that she's single and why she can't date her new dates. Don't want nothing to do with Kanye.
Kim Kardashian
You know, there has been situations where, like, I'll get maybe close to someone, then it's like, wait, wait, wait, wait. I don't really want to deal with your ex, and I don't want to deal that, like, if he's going to say something. And I'm like.
Lauren LaRosa
And I think another thing too here, when you think about even the way, I feel like she was very respectful of Kanye as her children's father when she was speaking about him in this podcast interview. And I also feel like she was very respectful of Kanye just as a person that she knows struggles with things that are beyond his control. Because even when she talked about him not seeing their kids and talking to their kids in a bit, there seemed like, even though she can't really make sense of it to her children. And honestly, I kind of felt like she's kind of hurt. Like she can't make sense of it to herself. Like, she's hurt because she could have never predicted their marriage would end up where it ended up at, but she understands that she's dealing with, you know, something that is beyond and bigger than the both of them, bigger than Kanye west, bigger than her, because that's what mental health challenges are when you're dealing with not even y' all, like Being. It's. It's almost like you're. You turn into a caretaker when someone around you that you love has a disability because of the love. But no one ever talks about the work that goes into making sure those people are straight or just where your mental is at. And she's raising kids while doing this. And let's add in the celebrity factor, because both of them are super freaking famous now. I will say, too, another part that I thought was interesting in this interview, because a lot of people have always said, okay, Kim Kardashian got with Kanye West. When things got hard, she dipped, and Kanye west basically made her career. I think the sex tape happened first, which was a big moment in her career. But being with Kanye west definitely put Kim Kardashian in different conversations. Up until this interview, I've never heard her speak about that and basically say, I understood that I wasn't in this world before I met him. She said she thought she was gonna have to leave the fashion and entertainment world alone because of how big Kanye west was, and her decision to divorce him would have forced her out of all of that. Let's take a listen.
Kim Kardashian
I walked away thinking that I would have like to live a different life, that I would not have a connection to anyone in fashion or art or, like, you know, he. That was a big part of his life. And so I thought, like, okay, I'm gonna just, like, go back to a totally different world, and my happiness is, like, worth that, and it's totally okay. And some of my biggest projects came about after I made that decision, and some of my best relationships with fashion and art and all these things that I thought I had to give up or told I had, you know, wasn't going to have any more. And it was like, the universe just, like, rewarding me and showing me that I was moving in the right direction. And I think that's, like, a really important, powerful thing, is to, like, pay attention to the signs and pay attention to life and, you know, what happens and how you can be guided to make really good decisions.
Lauren LaRosa
I mean, people talk about the Kardashian curse and all of the things, but it seems like she's taking. There's a sense of awareness here that I think was the reoccurring, surprising factor for me. And I've never met Kim Kardashian or anything like that. And when I say surprising, it's not a dig. It's not shade. I think I say surprising because I think a lot of times in a situation like this, when you look at things as big as they are, you don't look at it like, woe is me. She's Kim Kardashian. Still, at the end of the day, right, it's never like a woe is me. Because at the end of the day, she is Kim Kardashian. She's a, you know, all the wealth is there, the fame is there. I always felt like there was like a bit of I just gotta keep pushing and y' all ain't gonna tell me nothing. But to hear her in this episode, I feel like this was the first time that I looked at her as not human. But because I'm learning being on the other side of things a bit, that that is such an unfair angle to take on anyone that is in a spotlight. It's like, oh, my God, they're not human. They're like, you know, except for Oprah, y' all know how I feel about Oprah. Oprah is God. But I don't know, just it made me have a bit more empathy for her. And y' all know who don't got no empathy for her? Northwest. Because she said Northwest be Northwest. Reads her down telling her, you need to go out there and get a man. Mom, what's going on? At the end of the day, y' all could have been anywhere with anybody talking about all of the things, the Kim Kardashian, the Kanye west things. But y' all chose to be right here with me. And I appreciate you guys every single episode. When you tune in my low riders, I'm Lauren LaRosa. This has been the latest with Lauren LaRosa. And y' all get out there in the streets, in the tweets and let me know what y' all think. Empathy for Kim Kardashian. A lot of y' all are upset and gonna be upset that I said that word. How y' all feeling after, you know, our breakdown of the interview here? You guys feel her a bit? You feel where she's coming from? You feel bad for her? I want to know.
