Janet was unable to make it, but we have the gorgeous and talented Lala Kent sitting here. How are you? I'm good, babe. We made it happen. I know. Finally, like a year and a half later, right? Yeah, I love it. I know me too. And we're here at your amazing house. I mean, okay, let's just talk about this house for a second because I know we've seen

it on the show with Jeff Lewis. Yes. We haven't seen it on Vanderpump rules. So tell me how long have you been in here about all the renovations you've done? Oh gosh, we've been, so we've been in the house for, I think, a little over two years. Then we started the renovation, which lasted longer than we wanted because our contractor did many things wrong on top of stealing six figures and running away. So the renovation has been like over a year. That is so insane. It's insane. But he and his wife have both been served

oh god conspiracy to commit fraud i mean seriously like what you were telling me the other night when i was here about like the back wall over there yeah i mean what the fuck yeah and i didn't realize like how common it was like so many people were like yeah that happened to me too and thank god you know rand and i have the means to like get things popping again and basically double pay every single thing. But for a family that like budgets out a renovation, if this were to happen to them, I mean, this general contractor would have left them in shambles. They would have a destroyed home. So was he like referred to you guys or? Yeah, he like referred to you guys or? Yeah, he was referred to us.

And I told Randall the person that referred him hates us, just so you know. Yeah. Clearly. I mean, from what I see in here, I mean, I know you have a different contractor now, but I mean, this place looks fucking amazing. It's pretty amazing. The grounds are just like stunning. You know, you can't get a better location in Zen Home. Yeah.

And we have kids, so it's like the kid zone. Yeah. I know. Their little room over there is so cute. I remember seeing you post that on Instagram. I love it. Their playroom is like my pride and joy. Yeah.

Because I just want them to always like feel safe and have fun and know that this is like their home where they can play and be free so that room is just like the goat yeah no I love it oh my god so the other night I was looking I think it was maybe even last night on your insta story when they did their own makeup oh my gosh do you die was that all give them lala beauty so they have give them lala beauty of course because the nine-year-old harasses me every day for more give them lala beauty i love that but yesterday we didn't have a nanny so like i took them for the entire day and before we like went out and about for our day i had to obviously work a little bit so i'm like i give them breakfast i put on a cute show and the next thing I know Riley the five-year-old comes up with a full unibrow I know I was like I was like

wait what is that oh my gosh I die for them they have the cutest personality they're so adorable they are and like my goal just like as a stepmom be, is to make them feel safe in their home. And I think that Rand and I are doing a really great job of that. Yeah. I mean, you can tell just like the things that both of y'all post. Like they always just look so happy. And like you guys are always having so much fun. I love it.

I'm so happy. Yeah. And like they don't argue a lot when they're, you know how sisters can be? Yeah. Yeah. And like they don't argue a lot when they're, you know how sisters can be. Yeah. Yeah. My sister and I were like 13 years apart growing up. So it was like I was kind of already an adult when she was born. And by the time she was like talking and walking, I was like graduating high school.

Okay. So we really only, there was only one fight my sister and I ever got in. I literally threw her ass down to the ground. And like to this day, I'm like, oh my God and I ever got in I literally threw her ass down to the ground and like to this day I'm like oh my god I couldn't but it was like she was just in that teenage phase she was being such a little bitch and was just like being so mean to my mom our mom yeah and I was just like you don't talk to my mom like that oh that is so cute I just like seriously like my mom was like in tears it was like I felt so bad for my sister just being

a brat just being a 15 year old little brat and I just I grabbed her by the hair and I just like threw her down in the kitchen she's like I'm gonna call the cops this is child abuse and I was like we're sisters this happens like this is normal you know beating the shit out of her it was like but then I felt so bad because I saw the look in her eye after and she looked so scared and I was like oh my god like I mean that was the only fight and I mean she just turned 22 yesterday the only fight we've ever been in in 22 years birthday court I know I have to tell you a funny story yeah last night I'm in bed with Rand and he was like uh Sheena's hot friend is back that the girl she hasn't posted her a lot I thought they may have had a falling out without corny air and i was like that's her sister he's like that's her sister the hot blonde one i was like yes rand wake up that's so funny i know oh my god i love that yeah so

my sister does the majority of my social media for me she's so good at it you know she's just that age she knows the right she knows what the cool kids are doing exactly like the gifts and the filters and the all of that but I'm like okay well I would be a total asshole to be like hey Corey here's a bunch of pictures of us put them together and post it for me for you for your birthday yeah that would be an asshole so I was like I mean I have to do this but I'm like I wanted to look like legit like the way she does it I don't want to like half-ass her birthday post because my stories are always really good when she does them. Right. So I just texted her and obviously she knew

what I was texting her for, but I was like, Hey, what's that app you use to make, um, Instagram, like where you can put like multiple pictures on one side. And she said it was called unfold. So I downloaded that, but then when I downloaded it, it it said it was made so I don't know if it's made or unfold whatever it is the app is lit you get like a month free and then I think I think I have to like unsign up for it because it was like $19.99 a year but I'm like I mean you should text me that because I want that too so I love it um so I like open the app and there's just like a million different like filters and slides. And I'm like, I don't know. Anxiety attack.

So the first one, I totally fucked it up. And I was like, no, no, no. You can do better, Sheena. You got this. And so I started scrolling. They had like these film filters and like different like little Polaroid ones. And then it was like, it was so easy. I'm like, I thought like, I mean, I absolutely appreciate everything she does.

But here I am thinking she's spending like hours doing my stories. When you just get the slide and you just click picture, picture, picture, picture. Oh, and she's making bank. Just do it. I know. I know. I got that. I got that.

Hustle Sheena. Hustle her. She does such a good job at it. And it's like sometimes, especially when it's like the sponsor posts and stuff, like I've already spent the time like editing them and recording them. I don't want to also have to post and do the swipe up and the words and the this and that. I'm like, here, this is your job. I'm like, here's all this life.

Sheena, I so get it. If I could pay someone to breathe for me, I totally would. Yeah. It's a lot of work. Sometimes I wish like I could like someone could just like go to the bathroom for you. You know, you're like, I really have to pee, but I don't want to get up. All of it. Can you just go for me?

But yeah, so I think I did a pretty good job. And I was like, go look at my story. I think I did good. Yeah, I love it. So that's so funny that he thought that was my friend. He did. Because when you were saying that, I thought maybe he was talking about Brooke. So my maid of honor.

Yeah. Best friend since high school. We literally used to look like twins. Like there was one time her grandma came in. We were both hostesses together at Marie Callender's and BJ bjs and her grandma came in and thought i was her and the only difference was i have brown eyes and her eyes are your color so yeah it was so funny we just like we had this like twin thing but matching tattoos and just in our what like almost 20 years of being friends we've had a couple little falling outs as a lot of

people do right but hey lily oh i'm trying to do the shenanigans podcast she just wants to be a part of it hi honey so um recently we had a falling out over the stupidest thing. It was literally over something like I posted on Instagram. It was so dumb. And it was just like, and then, you know, it was like she got upset about it. And then it was like a week went by two weeks, two months, two years. And like recently I was just like, you know what? This is so dumb. Like she probably doesn't even remember why we're not talking anymore.

I couldn't even remember. And then something got brought up about like Instagram I was like oh my god that's why we were fighting this is so dumb and sometimes I feel like you surround yourself with very high maintenance friends sometimes I think I do it's a lot of work when I hear about your friendships I'm like oh cut this hoe she's a lot of work but I reached out and it was just like I saw her the next day normally it was like nothing ever happened like the last like two years hadn't passed she came over to my parents house we had a pool party my dad mom they were so happy to see her and like I'm doing my sister's birthday dinner back home tonight she's gonna like come back to LA with me

and stay with me for a couple days and it And it was just like, nothing ever happened. I love it. Yeah. But a real friendship is when you can bounce back. And that's the thing. And that's like, I mean, and we've seen that on the show with our friendships. I was saying this about like a Stassi and I was comparing her to someone

new in our friend group who I didn't vibe with at first. Right. But now we're friends. Totally. And I was explaining this to one of. Right. But now we're friends. Totally. And I was explaining this to one of my friends yesterday because they're like, wait, but like you and her are cool now and you guys stay tuned and you'll find out. And I was like, you know what? I go, honestly, it's very similar to how Stassi and I started out. Like in the beginning, there was something about me that she just didn't like. We did not vibe. Right. We just didn't get along. I never did anything to her. This girl never did anything to me. We just didn't get along i never did anything to her this girl never did anything to me we just didn't vibe we weren't clicking yeah and then all of a sudden like

stassi and i were inseparable like at the end of season one going into season two i mean we did everything you broke your face with her yeah literally she was the only person there with me that night like now it's like we can laugh about it because it's been seven years right but I remember that night when it happened she was like Sheena you looked like the devil it was like I was like screaming I mean I like get up from the floor at this restaurant I have blood everywhere I don't even know where my phone is I lost my phone and my dignity that night and a tooth but I like get up and I was just like oh my god like this tooth was just like wiggling it was like halfway chipped off it was wiggling I could have pulled

it out that is disgusting and it's my front tooth and I was like oh my god oh my god and so I'm like talking I'm like I'm screaming and I also can't speak normally because I'm missing a couple of teeth and there's a couple more chips so I'm like trying to talk I'm hysterical and she's like looking at me like scared and trying not to laugh at the same time because she loves scary shit like that and so then she had drove that night I wasn't even drinking that night literally Shay and I got in a fight way earlier that night I wasn't drinking I sat at the bar that's all I was like you guys can pull the fucking security footage and watch me sit in that booth for three hours and drink water I didn't even so much as have a sip of Schwartz's Corona.

Wow. So I'm like, you can't even try like, cause that was probably like in the case that you filed. It was probably something where it was like, she was, Oh, she, yeah, exactly. Like, Oh, she just fell and she was drunk. I was like, no, no, no. I was not watch the tapes. Yeah.

So it was, I mean, it took so long to get the security footage with them. When you get it, I'm like a fucking giraffe on like an ice skating rink and just like, watch the tapes yeah so it was i mean it took so long to get the security footage with them when you get it i'm like a fucking giraffe on like an ice skating rink and just like boom down on my face she has to drive me home and i'm just like i can't find my phone i'm like oh my god where's my phone where's my phone i'm freaking out i had a blackberry back then that's a long oh my gosh yeah stassi and i were team blackberry i think until season three we were like we are not getting an iPhone we're not conforming most people are team Blackberry because they're more secure I loved it so she's driving me home and I'm like I I get her phone and then my mom didn't really know Stassi because we'd only been friends like I mean maybe six months and so she didn't really

know her like well enough to have her phone number saved so i call my mom at 2 a.m hysterically crying she thinks i'm being raped and murdered it's a new orleans phone number calling her and i'm like and then i had to like give the phone to stassi because i also couldn't talk i couldn't talk and so stassi's explaining what happened and then it's like she takes me home and i'm like thank you oh hi thank you stass you and then I'm like I can't find my keys I can't find my phone Shay and I were really really broke back then we were living with a roommate and so I'm like banging on the door my roommate answers and I'm like like blood everywhere missing did she think you were like joking around it was a gay guy our friend tin did he think you were

joking around no he was just like shook it was like he was staring at like a ghost he was just like oh my god so he goes and gets shay and this is when shay was still drinking so he had like went home passed out drunk like wakes up in like a daze and was just like i don't know and i'm like oh my god i'm like i can't go i'm not gonna go to the hospital for broken teeth oh i would like but i knew there was nothing else broken it wasn't my nose. It wasn't my chin. And I'm like, also, I can't drive myself right now. I don't have a phone like Shay can't drive me.

So I'm like, I guess I'm just going to sit in bed awake until the dentist opens in the morning. No, Sheena. Yeah. So from like two 30 was Uber a thing back then? No, there was no Uber back then. Like this was in 2012 yeah this is like seven years ago so i just literally sat up in bed just with my thoughts

no phone waited until the sun came up i would have started drinking there's no way i would have had i couldn't put anything in my mouth oh no that sounds like my worst nightmare it was the worst and then like after like a couple months later like I've got them like temporarily fixed and then now like Stassi and I are back like not friends and I'm like in New York at the upfronts event the biggest red carpet I've ever done in my entire life I have a flipper in my bag in case my tooth falls out on the red carpet. You're such a gangster. No one was talking to me.

It was like Sandoval was the only one who was like nice and put his arm around me in the group photo. Wait, because people didn't like you? Because they thought that like I agreed to a work thing without their permission and they were like, we're a group, we need to stick together. And I was like, no, no, no, I didn't do that it was just like right such miscommunication they thought that like my manager was agreeing to something their manager didn't and i was like no no that was not it and then you're like we're not in sync bill exactly and so the only good thing that came out

of that was i was by myself at this upfront event i've never watched a show on bravo i knew a few of the shahs just because we had met at events and stuff. Yeah. But I ended up meeting Priscilla D'Estacio who does our makeup for watch what happens live. I met her and all the Jersey like house husbands and wives that night. And I was like, I never would have met them if I was just with my click hanging out with my friends. Right. So it was like, but that's so you i feel yeah like you like new experiences and people and you're really good at like not staying in a comfort zone yeah i'm not so great at that yeah i like my familiar faces i like not a lot of people around me yeah and i'm such a social butterfly you are a social butterfly yeah And I do not hate on you for that for one second.

But it bites you in the ass. And your new groups that you bring around send my anxiety through the fucking roof. I know. But I appreciate your open heartedness and open mind. You're so, you have zero baggage and bitterness. Yeah. I mean, I have a lot of baggage. It doesn't show. So speaking of new people I've brought into the group, did I tell you this is something we've been talking about on shenanigans. I feel like I should update my listeners. Did I tell you Adam texted me the other night wait hold on you were you were at my house

do you remember ran held a poker game yes the other night and I invited my girls and my gays yes and you read the text okay I did tell you Adam yes so just to tell you guys so it's um Danica one of the girls who works

at service her birthday at Dave and Buster's last week we're there. It's midnight. And I get a text from him that says, hey, how are you? And I'm like, motherfucker, it's midnight. Like, I haven't talked to you in a month and a half. Like, me and my pussy are doing just fine.

Yeah, we're not cool anymore. But then I remember, I was like, oh, shit, I have red receipts on for him. So he saw I read it and didn't answer. So 10 minutes later, he's like, oh, I'm not trying to start any problems or anything, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, but said he still had a key to my apartment on his key chain

and didn't know if I needed it back. But keep in mind, this is not like a fob where like when you aren't renting or leasing at a place anymore. This is like a key that you can have made at a kiosk. Yeah, that's what I did. I literally went to the little place at Ralph's and made like five keys for when I'm out of town like sometimes Janet will check on Penny and Salem sometimes Adam would my sister my mom like I

just made a bunch of keys it's not a fob it's not a remote it's nothing like you're not gonna get charged if you don't return to the leasing office no and I was like okay and then I still didn't answer he sees I read it and then he's like okay well otherwise hope all is no and I was like okay and then I still didn't answer he sees I read it and then he's like okay well otherwise hope all is well and I was like you know what I'm gonna leave your ass on read I don't ever do that anyone who knows me you don't if I don't respond to a text in five minutes I always say I'm in a massage in a podcast or you should be very concerned yes and there was 24 hours on Friday and Saturday me and a friend had a little like staycation at my place and I just ignored my phone for the day it was the nicest most freeing feeling just like being with

someone who like I didn't feel like I needed to be on my phone I didn't want to be on my phone but then I would like check in every couple hours my mom's like hello you okay I'm like mom you're my friends you have my location you see I'm at home right I'm not you okay? I'm like, mom, you're my family, my friends. You have my location. You see him at home. Right. I'm not dead at home. I'm just at home. So I leave him on read. I'm so happy you did that. How empowered did you feel? So empowered.

Yes. So, but I was like, you know, I can't not respond. So I'm like, I just responded the next day and I was like, hi, doing well. Don't think you really reached out about a key. Don't need it. Is there something else you needed or wanted to ask me and literally like immediately he responds with this like long message saying he just wanted to make sure I didn't need it wouldn't get charged and that was it he has no ill will towards me regardless of how I feel about him he never did

anything with bad intentions never met anything malicious malicious, was like, I really, really always try to be honest with you. I genuinely wish all the best for you. I hope you know if you were ever in need of anything at all, you could always reach out to me. And I'm like, what the fuck would I need from you, Adam? You know what's so crazy, though, is it's like there were times that you were in need of somebody. And where was he?

Exactly. I feel like words are just that. Yeah. I cannot do anything with your words, your actions that fulfills me in every way. Yeah. And the thing is that I've had to learn slowly. So Rand and I went to Scottsdale, Arizona for like a little getaway retreat. And while we were there, we met with a couple's therapist two of the days and

i feel like even if you are in a relationship and you're doing impeccably well it is great to check in with someone totally yes and she taught me so much sheena like you have no idea i've learned that we cannot control other people and you know like this is stuff my mom will say but when you hear it from someone who's like educated, it means a completely different thing. It's totally different, yeah. You cannot worry about what other people are doing and how they're trying to affect you. And the moment that you take the power back and you realize that all these people, the atoms of the world, are trying to keep their claws in you, whether it's positive or negative, they thrive on attention good or bad yeah and it is blood sucking yeah they're leeches so the fact that you let that message go

oh and then this last one if you ever need anything i just left him on red it's been over a week and i'm like amazing i kind of just like want to respond i'll be like thanks hope all as well and i'll be like it took you a fucking week to respond thanks hope, Hope, all is well. I think you shouldn't respond at all. I don't think I'm going to. It's already been a week. And I've thought about it so much. And I'm just like, you know what? Like, and Janet had a good point.

She goes, guys have this, like, sense of, like, you know, whether he's been, like, creeping on my story. We unfollowed each other. Like, I unfortunately, which I felt really bad about, but I unfollowed, like, some of his family. I unfollowed all of his friends. Because I'm just like, I just, when I felt really bad about, but I unfollowed, like, some of his family. I unfollowed all of his friends because I'm just, like, I just, when I'm done with someone, I'm done with them. And I went back to him so many times, but I never, like, canceled him. I never said anything negative about him on my podcast.

Like, I just was still like, no, we're going to figure it out. We're going to figure it out. And then this last time, like he was just so disrespectful to me to go on a romantic vacation with this girl who he's lied to me about for months. Wait, I didn't know about this. You didn't know this? No. Oh my God. Lala.

Okay. Short version. So we've already talked about this. So I'm on the plane coming back from Kentucky. Okay. And I'm getting all of these screenshots sent to me, but I'm on the plane and even with wifi tap to download, tap to to download I can't download them and I'm like Janet what the fuck are you sending me and she was like Adam has a girlfriend I'm like no he doesn't I was like

oh you mean his friend so and so like no I was like they went to college together like I was like she's dating one of his friends they're just homies she was like I don't know they were posting some stuff I'm like yeah but I go think back to when I was with Rob and things Adam and I would post that could look couple-y but like I was in a relationship it wasn't like that I'm like we were just friends so then I get when the plane lands I get more screenshots sent to me and it's 100% a romantic vacation in Tulum how the fuck can you afford a romantic vacation in Tulum and And I'm sorry, you're saving all that money because you were his sugar mama. He got that savings. So he told me I saw him a few days before I left for Kentucky and he left for Atlanta for a shoot. Okay. He came over,

we hung out, we didn't have sex, but we crossed the line that we shouldn't have. It had been a couple months. Shouldn't have crossed the line, but we did. So I go to Kentucky. He goes to Atlanta. And I texted him on Friday, and I was like, oh, how's ATL? And he was like, oh, not there anymore in Mexico. Just got to Mexico.

And I was like, huh? I was like, Mexico? I thought you had a shoot in Atlanta. He didn't respond. And I was like, wow, OK. i really know nothing about your life anymore like i thought we were getting back on a good track but guess not whatever i was like all right we'll see when you get back and so we both got back monday night i get all of these screenshots sent to me i am just boiling inside yeah so i texted him that night and i was like hey just landed making sure you got back safe

he texted me back the next morning he's like hey sorry i was sleeping he's like yeah i got back um last night just passed out and i was like oh my god so um what was going on down in mexico or i asked him if you wanted to get lunch and he's like i can't i'm busy and i was like so what was going on down in mexico and he's like um nothing was going on in quotations he's like i just extended my trip to a vacation. I'm like, with who? And he tells me her name. And I was like, I thought she was dating your friend.

And he's like, they're not together anymore. And I was like, okay, then this all makes sense. And he's like, what makes sense? And I'm like, you're dating her, literally. Like, you guys are on this? And he's like, don't even give me shit. He's like, if I try to keep track of all the guys you've dated since we, and I'm like, Adam, first of all,

I've never done a static post with a dude on my page. If I were to out of respect for you, I'd give you a heads up. I even, he was like, you used to post shit with Max all the time. And Max is going to be here soon, ladies and gentlemen. Um, so I was like, um, I specifically remember when Max and I were dating, I posted like one thing of our wristbands at a Chargers game, a group thing at Malibu wines and a group game night, never anything romantic out of respect for Adam. So I was like, no, no, no, I've never done that. And yes, I have been seeing people over the last like six months, but I haven't posted anything because I respect you, whether you think so or not. Clearly you don't feel the same about me and he's like i'm not doing this via text this is now not a long story making short i'm just giving you it all um so i love it i'm skipping on this tea i meet up with him at um the rooftop of the place he

works at we sit down he literally takes his fucking shirt off abs tan like and just sits there and was like what's up and i'm like you really need to take your shirt off the bar's not even open i can't even have a fucking rose i'm just like staring at him cotton mouth fuming and i'm like are you gonna explain what was the point of the shirt coming off i don't know it was hot outside he wanted to show off his mexican tan and perfect abs like i'll give him that he's got a great body but like so weird she knew i don't it just it was hot outside. He wanted to show off his Mexican tan and perfect abs. Like I'll give him that. He's got a great body, but like so weird. She, I don't, it just, it was so douchey, you know, such a douche move. And basically he was just like, I mean, this conversation was wrapped

up in all of two minutes. He, um, first he asked me if I was miked. Then he asked me if I was recording this conversation. I was just like I'm literally trying to salvage the bare minimum of what's left of our friendship I'm not trying to catch you in a fucking lie here dude no oh Adam no one cares about you on Vanderpump Rules you're only relevant through Sheena sorry sorry so so he was just like basically he's like I mean yeah like we were just friends and then you know one thing led to another and like it happened and I'm like, okay. And I don't fault you for that. Things happen.

But I'm like, don't you think out of respect for me, you could have given me a heads up instead of me finding out from fans and friends on Instagram. And he just like, didn't get it. And I'm like, Adam, I'm like, that's, that's so hurtful. Like I was literally in love with you last year. I poured my heart out to you and you just said, I can't commit. I can't commit, but you're committing to her. So had you just sat me down before this trip, the night you were at my fucking apartment and said, look, just so you know,

things with so-and-so and I have kind of like taken a turn. Like, I'm so sorry. Like I felt like I couldn't commit to you. I'm going to see where this goes. It might not work out out of respect for you. I just want you to know this. I asked him. I said, if either of us start dating someone, can we please let the other person know first before he was seen at TomTom with her? And Max and Janet were there that night.

Max fucking works there. And they're like, just so you know, Sheena. And then I asked him about the next day. I'm like, are you dating someone? He's like, no, it's just a friend visiting from college. She's a fan of the show. So I'm like, oh, OK, I'm being crazy. No, he's been dating this chick. They went to Dodger games he took her to the beach like all of this shit she's been coming out here for months i hate that and he never even told me

and i muted his ass like back in february so i haven't seen any of his posts and i told everyone i don't want to know anything like if i see it right i see it but don't don't send it to me but when it was this vacation my friends are like we need to tell you this yeah so was that like the nail in the coffin for the friendship 100% what by him saying so this is what he said he goes he goes I don't know why I didn't tell you because maybe I didn't want to hurt you and I go Adam it's gonna hurt either way it would have felt better hearing it from you than finding out on Instagram and he goes if it was gonna hurt you either way what's the difference and i was like you know what bro the difference is had you been a fucking man and told me to my face you would still have a friend in me

but you don't but she doesn't care goodbye i mean i don't want to hurt your feelings but he doesn't care about you if he did he wouldn't have treated me like that that's what i mean so that's why you can't expect these people to like give you the courtesy heads up when they've shown you over and over again that they don't care that much about you i mean it's just like everything i did for him i'm like i don't want to regret it because we did like share a lot of like fun memories and shit together and you know live and learn it was an experience or whatever you want to call it people come into your life for a reason a season or a lifetime right adam was a season totally literally one season of vanderpump rules you've had a lot of

seasoners but like just the fact that he just felt no remorse and felt like he owed me absolutely nothing those times that people are scary. Yeah. I walked out of there. He didn't try and chase me. He didn't try and text me. This was like six weeks ago, six, seven weeks ago. Okay. So you're not talking to him at all. Not even responding. No, that's why I left him on red and I was going to respond the next day. I was like, I won't allow you to. And I actually, I was talking to Max about it. Cause like, it's funny that after we dated, like now we're like such homies, like Max was the guy i go to for like my guy advice even though he usually gives terrible advice but but he's just someone i'm like who i've been so close with who

knows adam who was literally my rebound from adam right so i was just like what do i was like do i heart it do i respond and he was he was just like, don't say anything. That's what I'm telling you. What the therapist said to me. Good or bad attention is still attention. You cannot give these clowns attention. And I've learned that. Because right now I'm dealing with some bullshit.

You know these clowns that want to slide in your DMs 500 times to let you know that you're ugly or whatever the fuck else they want to tell you. I know. And it's like, like dude you need to why like i'm seeing a therapist and i'm like a happy person yeah go get help yeah for your mental right this is not normal behavior yeah like and honestly like as hard as it was letting go of him because he's some like the closest person in my life over the last like two and a half three years right the second i walked out of there and also we're on the rooftop of like an eight-story building and the fucking elevator was broken oh i hate that i'm pressing the button running down these fucking stairs because i didn't know if he was gonna come after me or whatever so i'm like running down the stairs and then i get to valet the valet is not there i'm

like i need my car i need to get out of here. Like I just wanted to run away. Yes. But the second I left and then I went over to one of our mutual friends houses, the girl I didn't vibe with, but now we're friends. Okay. I told her everything. I felt so much better. And I was like, you know what? We're going to podcast about this. And then I drove straight to Kristen's and we podcasted about it. And after that, I was like, oh, my God, I feel like such a weight lifted. Like, yeah, as sad as I am to lose him in my life. It's just like I don't have to worry about him anymore. I don't have to take care of him.

I don't have to worry about him. It was just like, you know what? You're someone else's problem now. You could have had me. And I'm sorry to toot my own horn right now. Any guy who lets me go is a fucking idiot. I've said that to Rand and Rand has said that to me. Like, you're so cool you're can i tell you you're so different i hate to say like in real life but i mean without cameras yeah on you're a different person gina that's what i

love about doing this show is because it's completely unfiltered unedited and it's like you actually get to know me it's not just an an edited version on Vanderpump Rules. I agree. Yeah. So I always tell people, I'm like, if you don't like me on the show, like just listen to one of my podcasts. And if you still don't like me, then you just don't fuck with me. That's fine. That's fine.

I'm not everyone's cup of tea. There was this girl. So this like YouTuber fitness chick, I don't know if you saw it on my gram, but she accidentally uploaded a video of her like beating her dog. Yeah. Wait, was it the one who put it in the dryer? Not that one. So she was filming.

She turned on her computer. Oh my God. To do some like fitness thing. And her dog was like excited to see her. Kept jumping on her. And she like punches it. Spits on it. The dog is crying.

She accidentally uploads that instead of the edited version. Oh my God. Well, I fucking like I'm notits on it the dog is crying she accidentally uploads that instead of the edited version well i fucking like i'm not a troll on the ground like i stay to myself but when it comes to like my orcas my dogs trophy hunting i go insane and i troll people to death and she slid in my dm and was like i was such a fan of yours. I can't believe this is how you feel. And I was like, bitch, I don't want you as a fan. Right? Bye. No. Like, forget about it.

Oh, she wants. Oh, we got to give them all on the shenanigans podcast. But yeah, it's like I don't I would rather lose a follower than have someone like that fucking follow me. Like if you if you don't like me as a person yeah i'm not tripping on that no but like please get your mental right and don't dm me how much you hate me yeah that makes you look crazy i'm still unaffected did you see when um i posted the dm and i never like put haters on blast or anything yeah but the one of the girl

telling me that i should do everyone a favor and overdose yeah i read that that i was like okay this needs attention and i like i was like i'm not gonna post and be like everyone go and attack her because then that's i'm no better than her but i'm like this is something that like i'm very passionate about with like the cyber bullying like i cannot imagine being a teenager in this day and age with instagram and shit like it was bad enough in eighth grade i would have death threats like sent to me like the teacher's aid would come into the class and give like the slip to the teacher and drop a note like on my desk and it would be a gravestone like with my name and it was like watch your back after school and like i would get all of this shit and it was like scary i got suspended from school i'm a perfect straight a student and like honors all of this shit yeah and i got

suspended because this girl was like trying to start a fight with me and then i'm like getting like all these death threats and like just getting bullied i had a pager back in the day and i would get 187 403 die ho every morning they would just like page me this shit and it was like not that many people had my pager number it was my friends my friends as i say in quotes she not literally and i didn't know who all it was until like the end of eighth grade and like it's funny because some of these girls like i'm friends with on like facebook how are you not scarred from these people so wait know, but why is it like, because you let a lot of newbies in.

I think why I do is because of that. Because like I don't ever want people to feel excluded and to feel left out because that was me in eighth grade. I had this whole group of friends who constantly like didn't want to include me because where I went to school, it was a very Hispanic neighborhood and I'm half white and I was the white girl at school who didn't fit in who all

the boys thought was pretty and the girls didn't like that no girls don't like that and so the last day of eighth grade you know what I did what I said you meet me at this address after school and we're gonna handle this like adults oh shit we weren't adults but i literally we get there and we go okay ground rules take your rings off no rings we're gonna fucking do this and i beat the shit out of her i love you so much for that only fight i've ever been in but i was like i am so sick of being bullied there was the one of the worst nights there was a slumber party and I literally sat up all night until the sun came up and then called my mom and said I woke up early and for her to

pick me up because and there was no cell phones back then this is right 1998 1997 you're like use the parents yeah at that slumber party was for like my friend's birthday and it's like it for me it was like better to be friends with the mean girls than to not have any friends at all. It's pathetic. But it just, I was. And at this party, one of my friends got her hair cut. And she like wanted a short bob. And I've always had the really long hair.

And they're like, are you next? And I was like, no, no, no. Like I'm never cutting my hair. And they're like, well, you better not fall asleep or your hair will be cut. Oh, so you were scared. And I was like, what? And then I like go in my bag. And they had like poured like salsa and like shit like all over my bag and my clothes and like they like threw like an egg at my head like when we were like playing again it was like

and like this girl's like little sisters were like in on it like these like 10 year old little girls were like bullying me and i'm just like i was so scared to fall asleep because I was like I'm gonna wake up and it's gonna be like I know what you did last summer I don't even think that movie was out yet but it like would have been like that when like she wakes up and it's just like I was terrified so I just sat up all night trying not to cry trying to just like be cool and be strong and I never told my mom any of these stories I said like she didn't even know I got in a fight because I kicked this girl's ass. She got suspended or not suspended, grounded all summer because she went home with a fat lip and a black eye. And her mom knew she got in a fight.

My mom didn't know I got in a fight. That's so gangster. So I told myself, I was like, the day I graduate high school, I'm going to tell my mom about the day I graduated eighth grade. And I did. Yes. Four years later. What was her reaction? She was devastated because it was like my sister was just born and I didn't want to like I've always been

such an independent strong person and my parents are amazing I would have told them I had an issue they would have been they would have been there but I just wanted to deal with it on my own I'm like they have a baby and like I loved my little sister and I didn't want to take anything away from her I'm like I've already been a kid like I've already had that time like I just wanted her to have my parents like fully for her yeah and I just like never said anything and my mom was like this like breaks my heart like I wish I knew and I'm like but I didn't want to burden you with it or bother you with it but deep down I think she knew that something was wrong because I was forced to go to private school for high school and thank god because if I would have went to public school in Azusa,

I mean, I probably would be 40 pounds heavier and have five kids by now. Yeah. And like all these little bitches that bullied you are sitting at home on Monday, drinking wine, watching you on TV. And Oh my God. Okay. Crazy thing. so the girl I got in the fight with yeah I ran into her it was like in 2008 so probably like 10 years after eighth grade okay I had a Toyota a regional commercial that was on okay I'm at TGI Fridays and was Vanderpump on no no no not yet this is like three years before Vanderpump okay so I had just had like a couple commercials and things that were on like television right and I'm in the bathroom at Friday's and I see this girl and she's like Sheena and I was like Marlene what her name's

Marlene Marlene yes it makes the story so much better and I was like oh my god she's like oh my gosh like how are you like I saw you on tv like that's so cool like we should hang out like this and I'm like oh because I'm on tv now you want to hang out with me all these little bitches come out of the woodwork yeah no isn't it amazing though it really is just all like if I can give advice to anybody it's to let that the bullying and things add fuel to your fire totally like let it motivate you let it motivate you retreat from those people and because from the time i was a kid i was like i'm gonna be on tv one day yeah you're all gonna be watching me asking me to uh give you money which i've had multiple times it's like bitch i'm not giving

you that give them Lala beauty money. You're out of your mind. I know. I need a few more Chanel bags. Yeah. Can we talk about your closet? Always. Okay.

We're going to do a Snapchat in your closet so I can post it when this is up tomorrow because that is just like closet goals. It's pretty amazing, right? I gave Randall the tiniest corner. I know i gave randall the tiniest corner i know i love the tiniest corner i thought he's lucky he even got that i was he he was like oh well what do you just want to move me to the guest bedroom closet i was like is that an option so we can arrange that oh my god i love that yeah it's just like i love that i can see all my stuff now you know yeah because before i like kept my bags like i was relatively organized at the But yeah, it's just like I love that I can see all my stuff now. You know?

Yeah. Because before I like kept my bags like I was relatively organized at the apartment for like the amount of space I had. Yeah. But I couldn't I'm like, what bag do I even wear with this outfit? Like I can't remember what bags I have. And now it's like pull it from the collection and on my way. I know. I need to reorganize my closets because I literally just go with the same black bag

every day because it's easier and i have so many cute bags at home but they're just like not on the right display you got to display them so you can see yeah you know and i have the whole extra room at my apartment that's basically just a display of my makeup and your sunglasses yeah i robbed a lens crafters do you remember i that? I think it was last season. I was like, what did she rob a LensCrafters? I have the same at my house in Palm Springs because I have so many sunglasses. And what did James say? He was like, no, she's not the one that robbed sunglasses.

Or stole sunglasses. That is fucking hysterical. So funny. I have six more pairs now from K from key which everyone thinks that it's pronounced quay the australian oh is it last brand it's key q u a e q u a y or what did i just say q u a e yeah it's a y yeah so it looks like quay but it's pronounced key oh my god yeah i love that so chrissy tegan has a collection with them right now. And I went to the launch for it the other night.

And the craziest thing is having John Legend come up to you and say he's a big fan. Dude. I was like. The craziest. I'm sorry. What? Like I'm a big fan. Like and like let's take photos.

I'm like, OK. It's crazy when people that are actually famous for having bad talent are a fan of yours. You're like, what? Like when people come up to us, Sheena, and they're like, can I get a picture? I'm so grateful. Totally. But I'm like, why? Like I could see if I were a fiance.

Like, fuck, yeah. Totally. But like me, what are you going to do with it? I've had some people like cry, like their hearts racing. They say that I've made their entire trip a year. And I'm just like, I'm so grateful for that. that but also i'm like i'm sorry that this is the coolest thing you've done but i feel like the like we open up our entire lives to people we really do and it's something that like people can connect with and whether we go crazy or we have like

a quote-unquote good season where we haven't lost our minds all that much. Yeah. It's like people can relate to that shit. Totally. You know, and it's things when people are like, ah, the way you act is like, bitch, we've all reacted that way. Yeah. The difference is yours isn't shown, you know? Yeah. So you're welcome that you can not only relate to me, but like be entertained by my shenanigans. Yeah. Yeah, I just did that. I like what you did there. Okay, I'm going to Andy Cohen switch gears here. Okay, switch the gears, baby.

Let's talk wedding. Okay. Because I overheard you at Tom Tom the other night talking a little bit with Brittany about some stuff, but what can you tell us? I can tell you that it's in Newport Beach. Yes. On April 18th.

Love that. We originally wanted Miami because Rand's from there. And I was like, the weather here is so volatile. Like, I'm not going to have my guests out here either sweating their asses off. Yeah. Or be drenched from rain. Yeah. And then I was like, fuck it.

Listen to this. I was like crying one day and I was like why can't we just be normal Rand like why can't we just have a small wedding in like the south of France or Italy and he's like did you really just say that so then that was like on my radar and then my dad will not be there and I was like I have no connection to Italy or the south of France yeah like what the fuck totally and my dad has loved newport since the time i was a little kid his favorite vacation spot that was where he was the most zen i love that i was like you know what this feels right

yeah yeah oh so and we had to compromise as far as the guest list because i wanted like 50 people and rand wanted 500 do you split the difference well hardly i think we're at like 250 right now okay which whatever because rand has never had a wedding before you know and so it's gonna be the first wedding for both of us so i'm like you know what if i would be the only it'll be the first and only wedding for both of us yeah and. And for me, it's like, you know what? I know if I had a small wedding, I'm going to look back and be like, why didn't on my wedding day, why didn't I just blow it out? Yeah. You know? Yeah. We had 300 at mine. See? Okay. So that's like normal. Yeah. To have like a lot of people. I mean, I think so.

Like we both have big families and we both like the good thing about Shay and I was we pretty much shared friends because we've been friends since we were 15. So it was like that helped. But his mom is one of 12. Oh, shit. And then like 52 cousins. And so it was just like and then between my extended family and my mom and my dad, it was just like we couldn't have under 300.

It was like a struggle to get it down to 300 see that's crazy so that part for me i have a very small family aunts and uncles i don't speak to cousins i don't have yeah so it's like my mom and my brothers and with rand it's kind of the same thing it's gonna be a bunch of us fun friends. Yeah, it's just my fun friends. Hell yeah. I know. Are you gonna do band and DJ? I'm gonna do both. Yeah. I'm gonna have a pretty epic DJ because you know Rand. He doesn't want just like DJ James Kennedy, even though I would die because I think James

is so talented. Yeah. But he wants like a Steve Aoki or, you know, someone like that. I was like, well, don't bring in a cooler person than like us. Then no one's gonna give a shit that we got married do you know who's gonna marry you yet i haven't decided that yet and with everything that jackson brett went through yeah i will not be telling who's going to officiate i'm trying to keep that under wraps but we don't we don't even have anyone yet gotcha but i do know

it was so funny i met with my wedding planner. And I have this like Jesus pouch that I keep my money in because it's been really great luck. Yeah. And we're talking about like, because Randall's Jewish, I'm just spiritual, I have no religion. And so I told her, no religion. I don't want that to be involved in this wedding. Right. As my Jesus pouch is sitting out on the counter.

She was like, you're giving me Nick Signals law which way we go in here that's funny oh my god i cannot wait for this wedding i know that we're gonna have so we'll have like the ceremony then the reception yeah but then i'm gonna have like an epic night club pop-up that'll be on property sick so that's gonna be fucking lit love that yeah and then you'll be there so you'll get to see all the surprises i know oh my god i'm so excited it's gonna be a good it's gonna come up so quick i know i can't talk about that because i haven't my wedding planner has been like we need to get on the phone we need to get on the phone but the thing is i mean you could plan a wedding in a couple months. You can, right? Yeah. Okay. It's just like the biggest things are, you know, the venue.

Got that. Guest count. Don't have that fully. But it's like once you, I mean, but you have a venue, so you know it can fit 50 or it can fit 500. Okay. So it's like, that's important that at least, you know, like that. And then just getting, I mean, Jackson and Brittany didn't even send out save the dates.

They were supposed to, and then they never did. But I mean, other than like sending out a save the date just so people know because I feel like we have to have save the dates because a lot of people in Randall's industry like they get booked out you know two three years in advance and traveling so it's like you know just like getting that out but it's like everything else falls into place so easily right it's just like you know you have your if the venue comes with like the caterer and all that it's like that's easy it's like totally it's just it seems like it's so much but then once you get like the venue is the most important thing once you have

that locked down everything else just falls into place yeah and i haven't been like dreaming of my wedding day since i was a kid yeah so like i don't really even know what i want for me i i don't feel like i'll be disappointed in anything or feel like something's gone wrong because it's like i don't really even know what I want for me. I, I don't feel like I'll be disappointed in anything or feel like something's gone wrong because it's like, I don't even know what I'm wanting. I never knew what I wanted until I watched the first ABC bachelorette wedding. Shut the fuck up.

Where Tristan Ryan, you love the bachelor bachelorette. And when I saw her wedding, I was like, that's what I want one day. And I was like, super fairytale? It was very, very fairytale.

Like, just white and pink flowers. It was basically like my wedding. I just, like, I wanted to recreate that. Your wedding was beautiful. Thank you. Yeah, it was a good party. It was fun. Very expensive party.

Do you still talk to Shay? I do. I think you guys should get remarried no that's not gonna happen really no there's just too much trust that was broken and it would just never be the same okay and also here's another reason why that dream so we've hung out a couple times we talk on a regular basis last week i thought we were actually the day my best friend Brooke was coming over to my parents house it was just Brooke and Janet my sister and her best friend yeah and I thought I was gonna really like make some headway with Shay and invite him over because

he hasn't seen my parents since we got divorced oh wow and he was like all about it I was like my dad would love to see you I'm like it's not gonna be a lot of people it's like bring your friends bring your nephews like anyone you want like we're gonna barbecue and I was like, my dad would love to see you. I'm like, it's not going to be a lot of people. I was like, bring your friends, bring your nephews, like anyone you want. Like we're going to barbecue. And I was like, I just, I know it would mean a lot to my dad. Like that was like his son, like the son he never had. And like they were so close and then she just was gone

and never talked again. And like they still follow each other on Instagram. So like my dad will still like see his stuff and he misses him. And so we have plans for him to come over. And then that day my mom was like do you actually think and I was like yeah I talked to him a couple hours ago and he's like what time should I come and I was like around like 2 2 30 I get a text hey I'm so sorry to do and I'm like I saw this coming I didn't want to believe it but I was like and he goes I'm so sorry

to do this but I got a call and I have to go in for a work meeting in Orange County I was really looking forward to seeing your dad maybe if you guys are still hanging out later I can come by okay left his ass on red for like a half hour thought about it because I wanted to just go off right and then like a half hour later I was just like well that sucks that you have to work I like, my dad was really excited to see you. I know he's going to be disappointed. I go, but can you just be honest with me? Are you just nervous to come over?

And what did he say? I haven't heard from him. Literally. And it's just like, that's when I'm like, it's like I give him an inch and then it's just like. Your parents are two people that I adore so much. Yeah. I like your parents are two people that I adore so much yeah I love your parents like I I would never even when you and I had like rocky times yeah I never felt uncomfortable

around your mom or your dad no they're the most welcoming people and like yes and like I guess Shay still has my mom blocked on Instagram and she she's like, what did I ever do? Like she was just looking out for me. And when she saw signs like, I mean, Shay and I's relationship was starting to ruin my mom and I's because I'm like, mom, it's none of your business. Like stay out of it. But it was like she was seeing. She's watching her baby. Yeah.

Yeah. And she saw things from the outside that I couldn't see because I was too close to it. Right. So it was like all of these things that like I didn't notice and she was just looking out for me. But then, you know, he felt like defensive and like needed to like block her so she couldn't see anything he was doing. And I'm just like, look, it's been a few years, dude. Like, let's let's just like hang out. Like if we're ever going to really be friends again or let's say, who knows, five years down the road, if we're ever going to be anything again even just

friends yeah you're gonna have to be cool with my parents totally and i was so excited that like and i even told him i go dude i was like brooke's coming over today i was like i haven't seen her since we were married yeah like she was my maid of honor oh so they know each other they were like really good friends since like we were younger like since like i mean like after high school because like i've known shay since i've known him as long as I've known Brooke and so I was like dude I was like I'm so excited I was like Brooke's coming over I haven't seen her since literally before we got divorced and he was just like oh my god that's amazing like I'm so excited and then just like ghosted yeah and I still haven't heard from him and I'm like you know what I'm not gonna reach out like unreliable. It just, and that's, I'm like, and this is why we're not together anymore.

Reason number 782. So, okay. So I want to talk a little about what you have going on right now because we're both working with Sean too. Yes. Which thank you for him. I love him. Um,

he sent me my video last night. I can't wait to see. Oh my God. It's so you're happy with it. I love him. He sent me my video last night. I can't wait to see it. Oh my God. It's so... You're happy with it? I love it. There's a couple things, like a couple of the choreography moves

that aren't in it that I kind of want to add. Okay. But if maybe one of us was off, then like I don't... Then if he left it out, he left it out for a reason. Right.

But I want... I've only watched it on my phone. But it's also your video. Exactly. And there's many times where i'll talk to sean too about my concerns yeah and then if he feels strongly about it not being yeah in it he'll say it he'll say and if i feel strongly about it being in it yeah then you know you make it happen yeah because i mean i haven't even seen playback of that but i'm like i remember

there was this one move i did where i'm like on the floor and i like it was like ass up and i kind of like crawled towards the camera and i'm like yeah wait that shot wasn't in there and like I did that one like 15 times asked to see the footage I'm going to and like I've only watched it on my phone twice and once was last night at a loud bar I couldn't even hear it and then I watched it again this morning but I'm like I want to watch it on like my tv screen and kind of like nitpick it a little totally but um okay so tell me what you guys are working on right now. So James and I are back in the studio. I love that.

Yes. We just finished our song, Riding With Me. That's the one you played at Tom Tom, right? We played it at Tom Tom. Yes. It's so fucking popping. I love it. James did the entire beat.

So he's definitely like a heavy hand in the producing aspect um and then i wrote my own little i like to write my own stuff because i feel like it just resonates with me yeah more like i i can get into it yeah if what i'm saying is what i believe you know like what's what's more lala than fat ass is being bounced on her i I mean, yeah, what's more Sheena than talking about sex? Right? You get it. One of the lines in my song, it says, give me a good dick but no affection. I'm like, I just want to get laid.

I'm not trying to fall in love right now. You do just want to get laid. But you do love a good cuddle session. I do, but, you know, I am fortunate enough to get laid and cuddle after. Right? See? And morning sex. Girl, I forgot how amazing that

was you're my little nympho yeah so um yeah we have that and then my little brother easton is i call him a rapper he says i'm not a rapper i'm a songwriter and it's more poetic and i said okay whatever you'd like to label it you little artistic mind and he wrote a song shortly after my dad passed away and it's you know his take on that day and so i'm featured on that but we also did another song which is pretty much the same song i guess but it's a more feminine version okay so we'll release both of those sean too helped with both of those the one easton did is produced by this guy named rush d uh-huh um so those two will be coming out and then you know we're just working on movies i love that yeah we have access sally with al pacino okay that's the

one you were doing down in puerto rico yeah yes and that's about this woman who um she basically teamed up with the Nazis and so the United States was charging her and trying to get her hung with propaganda and I play a defense attorney I that look was so dope because it's like that is literally a character like you are like you're so in it i was the furthest thing from my truest yeah and it was really crazy because after i finished al was like wow you're really good because all my scenes were with al pacino so let me give you the backstory on how this happened brand tells me that they're doing this movie access sally i said i need to be in it he said there's only one part left. The only problem is it's

playing opposite Al Pacino. And I said, that's not a problem. That's not a problem. He meant it's a problem. Like I will have to get approved through Al Pacino, the directors, writers, you know, the studio. And so I said, just give me the script. I'm going to go work on it. I'm going to work on my sides and all audition. And you can tell me just give me the script. I'm going to go work on it. I'm going to work on my sides and I'll audition. And you can tell me if this works for you. And it worked. So right after my scene with him, he was like, wow, you're really good. And I was like, thank you so much.

Like coming from you, that means a lot. Because you just think people are like trying to be nice. Right. And he like grabs my arm and he's like, no, you are really, really good. And right then I was like, this is one of those moments I'm going to remember for my whole life. Forever. Yeah. But see, then I'm the type of person

where when Rand reminds me of that moment, I'm like, okay, but that happened already. What's the next? Yeah. I'm needing a new project for someone to tell me I did good at. Right. Yes.

So do you have anything else you're working on right now or waiting for that to come out? There's a new TV show that is coming out that will be released on deadline. Okay. The cast. Uh-huh. It's a new tv show that is coming out that will be released on deadline okay the cast uh-huh it's a series i'm very excited about it this could be something that i think could change the direction of you know my my wants and my dreams because i moved out to la to be an actress yeah and then when i went into an audition for target there was something new on the sign-in

sheet which was how many followers do you have on instagram and twitter i didn't have a twitter i had 500 followers on instagram that's a thing now yeah i left the audition and literally the next day is when vanderpump rules came to my front no way yes and i said and i was like fuck this clearly hollywood has changed in many ways. Yeah. I'm going to get my name out there and my talent will come second. I'll get to prove that once I, you know, have my name. Yeah.

And so I'm slowly, but surely, you know, we both know that when you're in that box of you're a reality person, people forget like this person is showing their lives, but that doesn't mean they are not a talented human. Exactly. Yes. Yeah. So I have to work a little bit harder but that's okay yeah because I get bored quickly yeah and you're talented so it's like you know I mean I've been opposite orgasming with you in an acting class it was fantastic dude you were so good I said it I was like she needs an Oscar for that

shit nobody I mean it just and um the row like literally I'm like I'm not just saying this because I'm your friend but like you were the best part of that movie thank you I felt like that movie was obviously on a very small budget but it was a full movie it wasn't a short film it was a full movie and you were the lead it was amazing and that's what it was like okay I'm the lead of this and if there's anything that i take from this it's that i'm happy with my performance you know so even if any movie or you know tv show i do is not exactly what i wanted it to be yeah i have to feel comfortable with what i what i did right camera yeah yeah well you killed it is there gonna be a row too I mean I don't know yeah I'm open to it yeah it sounds fun I mean that was probably one of the funnest sets I've

been on yeah you're around people that are like wanting to make a great movie and then just around like hot talented chicks yeah best thing ever totally yeah i loved it thanks oh my god i'm so excited for you i can't wait to see the al pacino movie that one's gonna be good yeah do you know when it's coming out they said september okay oh that's soon that's soon that's really soon yes love that for you i 'm excited oh my god you'll be invited to the premiere. Yeah, I better be. Oh my God. So exciting. Thank you, baby. So you've had, I mean, so much success already.

I can't wait to see like this new TV series and everything else that you have coming up. Thanks, boo. But also I just want to say I'm so proud of you. I mean, you're going on almost a year sober now. Yeah, I'm two months shy. That's amazing. A year of sobriety that's an incredible accomplishment thank you especially being in this industry and around this group of fucked up people like i'm sure it isn't easy you know you want to know what's so crazy is

the day that i woke up and was like i'm identifying as an alcoholic and I'm reaching out and getting help. I'm not living in another second of this life. There have been very few moments that I've been like, I'm going to pick up a drink today. Yeah. It's just like, I remember my life being so unmanageable and just volatile. So many moments of my life that I decided to drink. I was like, I'm not, you know, even though that glass of rosé looks amazing. I know that I can't just have that glass of rosé. I can have two or three bottles of it. And then it all goes bad. Yeah. So it's just like in my mind that that's not happening. on days that I do feel like wow my mouth is watering for the rosé you know I had an AA meeting maybe five yeah that's amazing though thank you

babe and I feel like for me like I I did have people who struggled with addiction and alcoholism in my family but I was never so close to it until I was married to someone right struggling with the same thing and I felt so ignorant and uneducated when I just like couldn't understand I'm like but Shay like why can't you just have like one glass of wine like I can't like why can't you just drink to get buzz like don't get drunk like I literally said that on the show when I watched it back I fucking cringed because I'm like obviously like it's not me like I don't have a problem with that I could just have one drink and be totally fine right like it's not me. Like I don't have a problem with that. I could just have one drink and be totally fine. Right. But it's like, I didn't understand until it

literally hit so close to home, how someone who is an alcoholic, I mean, it really is a disease and it's something that you can't just stop at one. No. And that was, that was the thing is before I got sober, I did this whole thing where i'm not going to drink hard alcohol i'm only going to allow myself a to drink maximum and nothing was working yeah it was always me waking up being like another fucking night that i decided to get drunk and it was the best day of my whole life making identifying as an alcoholic in that moment i felt like this elephant lifted off of my chest i saw light and it was like oh my god like the fact that i have the power to never live this way yeah is like oh my god i feel liberated yeah that takes

a really strong person to do that i'm just very proud proud of you. Thank you. She, she, I love you. I love you too. Do you think this is, I mean, other than the music that you and James are working on again, do you think that both of you now being sober, going to AA meetings is something that's helped you rebuild your friendship? Um, I try to keep my sobriety separate from other people's journey through, know their substance abuse yeah um but i like the thought of me inspiring him to to stay sober yeah because i think he thrives when he's in a clear state of mind totally yeah and you know the other day i played our new song with logan and and Logan could not believe

that that was James. He was like, he sounds so good and like crisp. And I'm like, that's insane that like even that you can tell that he hasn't been drinking. I'm very proud of him because he told me when I asked him, he said, it's only been, I think at the time it had only been like 17 days. And what people don't understand is when you have a drinking problem, that's a long fucking time. Yeah. And you should be damn proud of every single day that you go without a cocktail. Absolutely. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, I just wanted to say that I'm very proud of you. Thank you. And I love you. I love you. Thank you for acknowledging my sobriety, girl. Of course. It's something that I think a lot of people don't

talk about you know and that's one of the great things about our show is we are putting our lives out there for entertainment but we're also dealing with real life issues and struggles and as ignorant as i was four seasons ago when i was talking about that with Shay it also brought so much awareness to it and it educated myself right and I understood so much more about it and I mean I would never it's okay really like I would never leave someone for them having a problem a disease like that was that wasn't what ended our marriage. It was just the lies and hiding and all of that stuff. But it was like, once I realized like, Oh my God, like this isn't just a drinking problem. Like it's so much more serious than that. It made me just want to fight for our relationship and for him that much more because I just, I wanted to help

him. And you know, I mean, I did as much as I could, but you had to want to help himself. You have, yeah. People that try to get other people sober, it's, you're going to fail every time I could count. I can think of a million and one times that ran to like,

really tried to express concern. Yeah. And that just made me furious. I'm like, how dare you fucking come in the way of my good time? i had to come to that realization on my own what was the moment that you knew like i could never drink again um it was a friday and rand and i met with a therapist actually she was a psychiatrist someone that like can prescribe you medication because i was thinking i was just really suffering i've always had anxiety and depression but I'm like this is taking over my life and so we're

talking to her and she asks Randall to leave the room and she said I want to dig into this and at the end of it she said I want you to take this number down and I said are you asking me to be a sober person because if you are that's going to be a problem. I'm not interested in that. And she said, I'm not asking you to do anything. Just take this number down in case you ever need it. We left for Disney World, and it was a family vacation. My nieces and nephews, Rand's kids,

and I literally didn't even participate in any of the family outings during the day because I was too worried about where the bar was. I was drunk from morning until night. Keep in mind, my drinking got very bad when my dad died. Yeah. So this was just a few months after he had passed away. I was shit faced. I remember getting onto the jet. All I was concerned about was where is the bottle of Hennessy that I just bought? I was face chugging it out of the bottle. It was a Sunday and that Monday I woke up and said, fuck this. Yeah.

Not happening ever again. Good. Good for you. And it's crazy because what people don't know, which I've spoken about on the show, but I'll give you the little tea right now, is that Monday morning I had a meeting at Randall's office and I had already come up with my plan. I used the number that therapist gave me who's still to this day a year later is or almost a year later is my sober coach. And I had no idea, but when I walked into his office and told him my, you know, realization, he told me, you know realization he told me you know after I was more stable in my sobriety that he

had a full letter written to me basically saying that he can't do this anymore until I get sober yeah so the universe was just so crazy on my side he told me that story recently when I was in Vegas and you couldn't make it and he was so sweet to put Janet and I up in y'all's amazing sweet at the palms. But we were just, we sat down for like an hour before his poker game and we were just talking and he was telling me that story. And I was like, holy shit. Like I had no idea that it was that bad. Yeah. Like, I mean, you did a great job hiding it because none of us knew. No one knew. And even now, people will ask me, like, La, you don't have a problem. And it's like, I love that now in my mind, it's like, oh, you have no idea.

Because before when I would say, like, I feel like I need to take a break from drinking. I feel like I have a problem maybe. And people would be like, you don't have a problem. Here's a drink. And it's like, you're right. I don't have a problem. I'm fun. No. and people be like you don't have a problem here's a drink and it's like you're right i don't have a problem like i'm fun no now it's like you there's nothing in the world that you could offer me to make me pick up a drink yeah good and smoke that cbd pen i gave you oh we got the cbd pen on lock
