Hi, everybody. Welcome to Sophia with an F. If you haven't already, please subscribe. I am here with Brie Tessie. You are hotter in person. Thank you. Just by the way. Brie and I were laughing because she has not flashed her vagina yet. I had my vagina fully hanging out.

And because I was wearing a skirt with no underwear. I mean, I didn't see it, so I missed out on that. But I mean, hey, nobody likes underwear anyways. I mean, true. Well, no one asked to see my vagina, like at all. I think I'm going to get an HR complaint from the studio. We are recording in WTF Media Studios in Los Angeles. Brie, if you guys don't know her, Brie Tessie is a TV star, real estate agent, and she's

Hottest person in the world. With the hottest body in the world. Okay, Bri, I'm so excited to have you. I watched like – how many seasons of Selling Sunset have there been? There's six. I was on six. Okay, you were on the sixth. Yeah. Okay, I haven't watched every season. Don't kill me. I watched the season you were on. That's all that matters. Really?

Right? How did that happen? Like how like were you trying to be on reality TV? No, I feel like I kept my nose is so itchy. Excuse me. Do you have allergies? Yes. And I literally I was sneezing the whole way in here. I was like, oh, my God, I can't stop sneezing. Brie, do you want Allegra? And do you want to talk about your allergies for the next 45 minutes? Maybe. Can we grab the celebrity and Allegra, please? Please. Thank you.

She wants a little something. I'm dying. Thank you. She's like, well, this might be Allegra. It might not. I'm like, Emily, you're driving me home. It's pill roulette. Speaking of allergies. Yes.

Bree, this is really why I brought you here today and why I've been begging to get you on. Which, by the way, did you get your makeup done today? I did. By this infamous makeup artist. Is it the same makeup artist Sweetie Haas? Yes.

And she's like the best of the best. I had her before, sweetie. She stole it from me. I'm just kidding. I love sweetie. But yes, I've been with Evelyn since I was 17 years old. She's literally the first person to ever beat my face and no one's allowed to touch me. 17? I was 17. My first photo shoot, I just got into modeling and I was...

terrified and she did my makeup and then she helped me with my shoot and she's literally like a second mom at this point. Oh, yeah. And like I just love her and now she's moving to Nashville and I'm devastated. I don't know what I'm going to do. You're going to move to Nashville. Basically. I'm like, so you're either going to fly back and forth every day or I'm going to have to move. So it's been –

It's been a lot. Yeah. Because normally I would never go anywhere without her. Wow. So you've never used another makeup artist? Never. Never? No. If I have to like do a brand something and they ask me to, I still say no. Okay.

No, I'm sorry. I can't. I'd rather pay for it. I'd rather fly her, house her, whatever I have to do. I just look crazy. Do you know how much of an icon? Like you sound so iconic right now. I sound like a crazy person. No. I mean, you're like turning down money. You're turning down brand deals. You're turning down like, will you like go to an event? Yeah.

Without your makeup done? No. And it has to be from her? Yes. So we have a very scary next couple of months while I figure this out. I've actually had her like training people. So she's been doing like makeup tutorials. And that's all I can really do at this point. Yeah. But I mean, I'm either zero or 100. So I'll look completely homeless and insane. And like I haven't slept and brushed my hair. Or I have to be like completely decked out. There's no in between. What's the point of doing...

The in-between. Exactly. Right? No. I'm like, there's no point. Like, when I see makeup tutorials, this is my five-minute get ready with me. You don't look as good as the 45-minute to an hour and a half get ready with me. Definitely not. So why are we even doing it? No idea. Maybe it will, like, be a learning, like, experience and will get you out of your comfort zone. Brie looks like she wants to stop me. I'm like, no.

No. I mean, it is. I do have to, but I'm just not ready. I wasn't ready for this. I was shook. Right. I mean, I understand that. I mean, it's not just about makeup. You met her when you were 17. Modeling, what is that like? Being a 17... Like, I had to do a shoot the other day. I'm not a model, but I had to do a shoot.

And I like, I feel it's like nerve wracking. It is. Yeah. Especially when you don't know and you're like brand new and they like put you in front of the camera and all these lights. And they don't direct you. At all. They don't say a P. I'm like, okay, so I guess I'll just, I guess I'll just arch my back now. It's crazy. But you were 17 doing that? Yeah. But she was great. So it's like.

that bond is just kind of hard to replace. Of course. You have to think about these are people you work with every at least three to four days a week, especially when you're filming. They're in your home. They're in your space. They're with my child. You know what I mean? It's just it's a lot more personal than that too. So I think and it's just like I know when I sit down, like I can just trust her. And that's just it's a different thing. Yeah. Like, but yeah. So I'm going to go home and cry about it. But, you know.

No, I feel like, I don't know. How do we convince her to stay? I tried. I tried bribing. No dollar amount? No, honestly, she made a really smart move for her and her family. And it's a great, great job for her. And I mean, let's be real. LA is so expensive. Like people can't, we can't survive here anymore. It's getting out of control. Crazy. So honestly, I'm really happy for her over everything. I'm not happy for my face, but I'm very happy.

So I think that she did what, you know, she needed to do for her kids and her family. Yeah. I mean, that makes sense. Like, if we're just talking about, like, makeup artists, it's, you know, you met her when you were 17. Yeah. And you were probably, like, thrown into that world and had no idea what you were doing. Yeah. And so I'm sure your guys' bond is, like, very…

Like special and deep. 100%. She's been through everything with me. Everything. Everything. All my drama, all my men, all my whatever. Like she's been here. Evelyn, shout out. I feel like this is dedicated to Evelyn. Yes, it is. I love you. We love you. So modeling at 17. Did you grow up looking in the mirror thinking this?

this should be on every magazine cover. I'm the hottest thing to walk planet Earth. I should be a model. No. No. Definitely not. So...

No, I was more of like a tomboy, which most people would never guess. No. I was very much a tomboy. I never wore makeup. I never did any of those things. I actually started dating someone who was in the industry and actually was in reality. And his family was like, you should model. And like I was actually working at a dentist office. Oh, shit. Yeah, it was super –

random. My cousin is actually in that field. So she was like, just come work here until you figure it out, you know, whatever. And I was still in high school. And then they introduced me to this whole different world. And I was like, oh, I can make way more money doing this. Like, okay, sure. I'll do whatever you want. So then I just kind of

Like as soon as I stepped into it, I ended up just getting job after job and then I was just kind of engulfed in it. But I didn't know how to do anything like mascara, nothing. It's not like the kids now where they have YouTube and you can learn everything. Like we looked crazy. You're just thrown out there. I want to post a picture, maybe I will, of –

What I looked like at 16. I'm talking the Jessica Simpson clip-in hair extensions, which were plastic, which you had three colors to choose out of. They're plastic? They're plastic. They're not real hair. Oh. And I always got the curly kind, so I'd have to wear my hair curly every day because they're plastic. Oh.

There's three colors to choose from. So I'm like, okay, you know what? This brown, I'll make it work. Like I'll make it work. Just chop it in. We'll blend it in. It'll be fine. And I would not take great care of them because I would consider myself, I'm high maintenance, but I'm also kind of low maintenance. Like we will go to the grocery store looking like we live under a bridge. Bridge trolls. Yes.

And I'm sorry I just like looped you into that. No, no, I 100% do. So I, you know, I'm totally down to like grab lunch with my friends, no makeup. In high school, I would sleep with my Jessica Simpson hair extensions in my head, which you are not supposed to do. They are clip-ins. You are not supposed to do that. I swear to God. You have bald spots. No, I have like, that's when I decided to give up extensions. Yeah, yeah.

is when I was like, you could see like bald spots. Also, I think, you know, senior year of high school is when I really ramped up my party girl shit.

But you brought Jessica Simpson's along with you or no? Yeah, unfortunately. I was the coolest girl in high school in my Jessica Simpson extensions, but I would fall asleep in them. You know what I mean? Like I wouldn't remember to take them out. So basically what my head and hair looked like was like one rat tail right here and then like –

And it would be like bunched up. Have you ever worn extensions? Oh, yeah. You know how like bad ones, they'll get like super matted right here and then like just three little like pieces of hair like strings like this. So basically, I don't – I didn't look like anything like 16, 17-year-olds today. No. I looked insane.

insane. I want to know. Oh, and mine are all over the internet. So please, everyone feel free. Like I look, well, first of all, it's before my nose job. So I'm a whole new bitch anyways, but it was like this whole black eyeliner and it's all like bleeding down under your eyes. Cause you have it in your waterline and like your mascara that's like together. It was horrific.

Were you kind of into like the emo thing? Yeah, I think that's kind of the other thing too. And it wasn't like we didn't know how to contour our face and like highlight and shit. Like I was smudging black eye on my eye and like trying to rub it off by the time I got home to not get in trouble. Oh shit, your parents would get mad. Oh yeah. So they'd be like, you think we can't see that? It's like all smudged all over my face. I'm like, what? It's fine. I had a hard day.

I'm like, I'm trying to think of a super fast way to get fucking like mascara and eyeliner off your eye. There's no way. You're like, mom, shut the fuck up. Like I got in a fight. I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah. My mom was very strict too about the makeup thing. Yeah. But then 17 years of modeling, were you out of high school at that point? Yeah. I graduated. I technically graduated at 17. And yeah.

I went straight in until I was like, I don't know. I actually modeled straight until I was probably 30. I went with Rockstar. That was like my first contract. So it was more of like the, what do they call that? Like promo modeling, I guess? Yeah, the Rockstar model. Yes. I was obsessed.

That was a thing then. Of course. It was so cool. It was like the first thing you ever did. Those were the hottest bitches on Instagram. Rockstar models. And we got to travel everywhere and I had never been anywhere. And it was like, it really did change so much for me, especially just like being from Calabasas and not doing much and just like sitting at home with my parents. All of a sudden I'm traveling all over. I'm getting paid to do this. Like you literally just get dressed up every day. I was like, fuck yeah, this is it. I'm for this. Yeah.

That's crazy right out of high school. Did you learn like very quickly? Did you ever feel like insecure? Because I know that industry, I feel like I would compare myself to everyone. And I wouldn't say now that I'm older, I know that, you know, there's always going to be someone hotter, prettier, better, whatever. But at 17, I think I would have been very impressionable with that shit. Yeah.

I don't know. I never really felt like that. I'd never have really had that in me. I don't know why. I know people are like, oh, of course you did. I felt like certain things about myself, but I didn't feel like it was from other people in that sense. Like I knew I wanted to get my nose done always. Like I had always known that that was something before. It wasn't a comparable to me per se, but I think that the only thing I...

I guess would make me feel any type of way would be like when they were doing better than I was or more successful or they got, let's say like a maximum spread or they got something and I'm like, okay, how did she get that? Like, how do I get there? But I never really felt like

like physically any type of way about any of the girls or felt insecure or anything like that. I actually felt like most of the girls at that time were really supportive and really sweet. And when we used to try out for stuff, you had to fucking take your little book of photos and go in and go to like real castings. And like, you had to really be picked. You didn't get

the it's a lot easier now on Instagram and online to get to this stuff like and to be discovered and to interact with people and you know get verified and all that we didn't have any of that so we had to work our ass off to get in that room uh now you can pay $15 and be verified exactly so it is not the same

We are in a cost of living crisis, people, and everyone knows I am the queen of finding ways to save money. And that applies to my retail therapy as well. Rakuten is going to help you save money, period. I mean, it already has for me, so why wouldn't it for you?

It's the smartest way to save money when you shop because you earn cash back at over 3,500 stores. My personal favorites are Sephora, Saks Fifth Avenue, Wine.com, but I've also earned cash back on trips I've taken, home appliances, and even dining out with friends. It's truly the gift that keeps on giving.

And the membership is free and it's beyond easy to sign up for. So there's really no excuse. Cashback is deposited directly into your PayPal account or Rakuten can send you a check.

whatever way you prefer. Get the Rakuten app now and join the 17 million members who are already saving. Cashback rates change daily. See rakuten.com for details. That's R-A-K-U-T-E-N. Your cashback really adds up. So you never had like body image issues? No. Even before modeling? No, I really didn't. I mean, I think...

The only thing that really kind of threw me off. Yeah, it was my nose. And I fixed that immediately. Wait, how? I love it. Like, I knew my whole life. Immediately. I was like, no, she's got to go. She can't stay here. It just didn't fit my face. Like, it just didn't. I was like, no, we can do better with this. Like, she's got to leave. So I saved all my money.

all of my money to go to Raj Kanodia. What is that? He did Jessica Simpson's. I literally thought it was a place. I was like, I can't be that dumb. What's her sister's name? Wait, who'd you say? Thank you. Ashley Simpson, not Jessica Simpson. Oh, okay. Ashley Simpson's nose. And I think that's what really put him on the map. And then I was like, okay, he can fix this. And he doesn't like...

cut your nose off and like pull it back and do all that crazy shit. He literally goes through your nostrils. I have no scars, no anything. No way. He's amazing. No way. I know Alex is sitting there eating. She, she, so Alex is my cousin, but she works with me. She, um, she asked me for her birthday dead ass to get her a non-surgical nose job. Oh,

Tell her, I know you can afford this. I'll need that. Thank you. Right. I actually can't. So I'll get you eyelash extension. I'll get you makeup artist, contour. So it wasn't non-surgical, but there are surgeons that literally cut it off. Yeah. Well, I mean.

Kind of. There's like a nose job where they like break your nose and chisel it down and do all kinds of crazy shit. Not for everybody. Like he does still go through the nostrils and like shave down and do different things. Khloe Kardashian actually just went to him as well and they were talking about that. He just does a less invasive type of surgery. But like the non-surgical ones are – they're usually like filler and stuff to like even you out. They don't really –

They can't really like fix your nose per se. Right. That I know of. They put like filler type stuff. And I'm like, but how would that – I mean they do it. It seems like it. It would make you like more flat if that's what you want. But I do feel like it makes it –

bigger your nose bigger well yeah so yeah it just depends it depends on what you're looking for yeah but it's like an option for sure so you knew your whole life oh yeah which by the way can I just point out I think it's so refreshing and badass and just shows how confident you are that you're open talking about it oh for sure I've no shame I like I love that shit how many

People in LA lie to you about that type of thing. Everyone. Everyone lies. I don't really know why. I don't know if it's like a I'm perfect, like just – I don't know. I don't get it. I don't either. I don't think it's a flex. No, I don't either. It's like saying like, okay, I'm average looking normally, but at least I don't have this, this, and this, which would make me exponentially cuter.

Like you're still, you're in the average lane. I'm going to get a cancer for saying this shit. I don't give a fuck. She's like, no, I mean, teach his own. Listen, if I can fix it, why wouldn't I? I can. I have the option. Thank you. Yeah. So I mean, whatever. I'm also four. If you want to be natural, great. You're not bothering me either way. I'm just letting you know where I stand. Well, yeah. You're like my whole life. Like how old for real? No, dead ass. I was probably like 12. No.

No, I'm so serious. And I was like, mom. And she was like, I know, honey. Don't worry. Oh, my God. Really? My mom had hers. Like, my grandma had hers. I love that. Yeah. They were all like, no, no. You'll get there. Yeah. I mean, your parents... Don't worry. Your parents did something right because the fact that you went through middle school and high school with zero body dysmorphia and, like, what the fuck is...

incredible. Thanks. I think, I don't know. I just was, I was a boy. I'm telling you, I was a tomboy. I hung out with the boys. I did sports. Like I literally like, that's why even now with what I do and like, I don't really care about the drama and stuff. I'm always just like, I don't, I don't give a fuck. Yeah. I'm just here. I'm just here guys. See, I think I'm the biggest girly girl on planet earth. Really? I can only hang out with like a group of guys for like

30 minutes and then I can no longer stand it. Okay, so you got the nose job when you were how old?

I think I was 18, 18 or 19. Okay. I might have been 19. Okay. Yeah. And you paid for it with all your modeling? Literally every dollar I had. I didn't care if I was like broken homeless. I was like, we are paying for this. The nose. Oh, yeah. That is so funny. And then you've been open about all your plastic surgery. Boobs? Yeah. Done. Done twice. Okay. When did you get them done? I got my boobs done when I was 18. Okay.

So my boobs and my nose, those were the two things that I was like for sure. I was like I want this and I'm good. And then I was always like – I weighed like 110 pounds, super skinny, like not very feminine body feel. Not curvaceous. No, I wasn't at all. Just very ripped and skinny and not cute. So I was like I need to feel a little feminine. I want to get my boobs and fix my nose. And then I don't think I did anything else until I was like –

Probably like 25 or 24, somewhere around there. And that's when I started seeing like a little bit of lines or whatever in my face. And they were like, oh, you can do Botox. It's preventative. At 24? Yeah. For real, you did? I swear. And they always tell you, but I'm also like obsessed with laying in the sun, which ages you and does all of those things. And I do not. Do you still do it? Oh, yeah. I fucking love it. I'm like, I'll just get more Botox and laser. It's fine. Me too. I love it. And everyone's always like, no.

I know. I know. And I'm like, you know what? I'm going to do retinol all day. Exactly. Is there anything you've gotten that you regret? Cool sculpt. That's probably the only thing. Worst fucking thing I've ever done. Because it doesn't work? Well, okay. Yeah.

So I was like livid about this shit for years. So basically as like an influencer or anyone, a content creator, you know, whatever the hell you want to call that, they always offer you stuff, right? And you're always like, fuck yeah, this is free. Let me come in and give this a try. So of course I didn't do as much research as I probably should have. And I'm always down. So I'm like, yeah, cool. I go in and I do it. And first of all, they want to give you like an Ativan. That should have been my first warning. Like why the fuck?

do I need an antivirus is that like a Klonopin it kind of yeah like a Xanax type thing yeah but like it's like they're highly addictive and they're like super intense so it's like why do I need something this strong for this procedure like am I going under like what are you doing to me right they're like no no it's nothing it's just to make you more comfortable

First of all, I had nothing comfortable about that procedure whatsoever. And they like take this machine and they like put it, I call it my FUPA. So they put it to your FUPA and it has like this like square box. I don't even know why they would make it like this. And it basically is supposed to like pull all the fat molecules and your body like metabolizes it, whatever their science is there. It just gave me a fat pack.

It gave you that after? Yes. So they told me it was like a preventative. Yeah, it told me it was a preventative. Oh, shit. It was not. It literally gave me this crazy, like it pulled all the fat all right, but it didn't go anywhere. It just went right here. No. Yeah. And it was just like, so I go back and I won't name the doctor because I still love him. He fixed it. So it's fine. Oh, he fixed it. Okay. But I was literally like,

what in the actual fuck is this? And he was like, I have never seen that before. I am so sorry. And I'm like, how does this happen? And he's like, well, sometimes it happens. And I'm like, oh, you didn't think to tell me that before though, huh? You thought the Ativan would make me forget. Yeah, exactly. I'm fucking here. I'm sharp as a tack. Oh my God. It was awful. And I was so upset about it for probably like a good...

Probably like a year and a half. It took a while. To go away? Yeah, because I had to do all of the body sculpting, whatever the hell you call it. Wait, what is it called? Lymphatic drainage. And like they use the wood therapy and then they use that like it's called like lipocavitation. It's really just like a heat machine that like melts your fat. But they do like this whole process and you have to do it

all the time and it takes like two hours and it's like I was not happy. Does it work? It definitely worked. It definitely eventually went away and he also did Kybella in my stomach. So between all of that we made it go away but it was like a lesson to think twice before accepting just anything I'm offered and to actually do my research. Yeah. But I was lucky it was just that that I fucked up so. Right. And also if they

offer you an Ativan. Yeah, that you should probably say no and leave. Yeah. Yeah. Like in the waiting room. I'll take the Ativan, but I'm going to take it home with me. I was going to say, I'm not mad about it, but maybe not before. Well, I'm so happy that you brought up your belly because first of all, I wanted to ask you how you knew you were pregnant. Why are you pregnant? What is happening right now?

You're like, so you can Google it. Well. You're like when a man meets a woman and they fall in love. Or don't. Or don't. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, that's a great point. Yeah. I'm going to say 80% of the men I've hooked up with, there is no love there. Same. So thank you for correcting me. But-

I just had my period and my boobs significantly bigger, which I know you would not believe because they're ginormous out here, significantly bigger. And I have been bloated for two weeks.

Two weeks, and that has never happened to me. I know people are always like, oh, my God, I'm bloated, blah, blah, blah. So bad. But you just had your period. Yes. A normal period. I've heard about false periods, though. Yes. I could take a pregnancy test. I was, like, going to say, well, I mean, you could have told me I would have brought us one. Oh, my God.

This is the thing about pregnancy tests. I would never if I knew I had to work the next day. Why? What do you mean? You're going to have to take it with you anyways. No, because you're already pregnant.

Like people talk about pregnancy tests like, oh, you just like, you know, you take it whenever because you want to know. That would ruin – that would put me in a headspace that I would fuck up. Like I would not be able to get on this microphone and like discuss something with you like a normal person. I'd be freaking the fuck out.

So my whole thing is I have to wait until I'm back in New York in my apartment. I don't have – it's like a weekend. I don't have work. I have a couple days to freak out, cry, call my mom.

take care of the situation however I want to. And, you know, and then I could be ready for work on Monday. Sounds like a really long weekend. Sounds like you're missing a bottle of wine in there and a few other steps. But yes. Okay. Okay. When you found out you were pregnant and congratulations on your baby, you're a newish mom. Very. Right? Very new. I am new here. I

I am new here. Don't know what I'm doing, but I'm here. I actually, yeah, I found out I was pregnant when I was filming, actually, not selling Sunset. I was filming for a while now, and I actually kind of had a moment like you were just talking about, and I was like, what the fuck? I need to leave. I don't want to be here. And I literally left mid-taping and went home. Yeah, I was like, nope, I'm out of here. I got to go.

That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I can actually kind of relate to that. Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm like, wait, I did leave. I did walk right out. Wait, did you do the pregnancy test like between like filming? Yeah. I was like, oh, it's fine. It's going to be fine. Let me just go get one. And then, of course, I'm sitting in the room by myself staring at this like, why did I just do this to myself? I could have like waited for any of the girls. I could have waited for my partner. I could have done so many other things besides take this by myself right now. That is –

The fact you decided to take it while you were filming that, did you tell anyone what was going on or you just like fled? I basically fled. Bye. Yeah, I basically was like, gotta go, bye. And everybody was like, is she good? Like, no, no, she's not good. Okay, well, thank you for justifying what I've been saying. But it's been really fucking crazy. So you know what? I'm going to take one after this.

I'm going. I'm going to do it. Okay, if you flee, it's not my fault, guys. I didn't tell her to flee. I just said I happened to flee. I just – I don't know how you take a pregnancy test and it shows up that you're pregnant and you're like dope, throw in the garbage, go about your day. Like no one fucking does that shit. Yeah. So how did you know you were pregnant to my original question? Actually, because I didn't want alcohol and this girl likes to drink. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

Stop it. Wait. If you find out with me on this podcast, I'm going to feel really lucky, guys. No, you guys. Alex. Wait, are you grossed out by it?

Not grossed out. No, not the baby. Of the liquor. For people who are listening to this and not watching it, which you should be watching, my cousin Alex just looked at Bree and asked if she was disgusted by her baby. No. I am not.

Okay, so the entire studio. How cute is this? Guys, I'm pregnant. I mean, not to...

scare you or anything but um okay no give me another reason give me another reason well this is actually what happened to me when I was in Europe I went with my best friends and um I actually had had a miscarriage and I was super worked up about it and um

I was like, fuck this. I'm going to Europe. I'm out of here. My partner is like, whatever, crazy. I'll see you later. So I leave. I'm gone for a full month. And any ounce of alcohol, smelling it, anything, I was like repulsed, disgusting. The girls were like, what is wrong with you? Take your fucking shots. Like, we're in Europe. Like, we're gonna have a great time. And I was like, no, no, I am not. And I was just tired and grumpy. And I was just like, no. And

The second I got back, I had to go straight to filming actually when I landed. And that was when I was with the same girlfriend and she was like, yeah, no, it's time. And I was like. To take the test? Uh-huh. And she was like, you were no fun in Europe. And I was like, I'm always fun. And she was like, no. And then I started thinking about it and I was like, oh shit, I really didn't drink anything I ordered. I didn't touch any of it. I didn't like the smell of like everything. Yeah, it kind of added up. The smell of everything's fine. Yeah.

I'm not grumpy. I'm tired, but like I'm always – I'm the bitch that's like, I'm tired. That's what I say too. I love saying that. It's my favorite thing. I'm tired. And people get annoyed and I'm like, fuck you. Why do you have energy? I need some of that. That means you're not like getting after it the way I am. So there's a significant chance I might be with child, but –

We won't know. We won't know until I have a vacation. Yeah, exactly. Well, you have to let me know. I will. Oh, my God. Are you joking? Tell me if I'm glowing. I mean, girl, you're fine as fuck. Of course you're glowing. It's not – it has nothing to do with the baby yet. Okay. So very fucking scary. Okay.

I don't know. I have the period. I'm going to pretend like it's not happening. Perfect. I will be the lady that like I'm using the toilet and like a baby falls out. You've seen like those – you've read like those – I have. I've definitely – yep. I've always wondered how these women let that happen, but you let me know. Oh, I'm a living testament. Perfect. Because it's just – yeah. Like why like – I don't want to like bring negative energy into my life. I don't want to deal with the whole child. It's fine. No, just the pregnancy test. I'm sure the child would be great. Yes.

But I don't need that negative energy right now. Yeah. So no pregnancy test is happening. Will I continue having sex and they're not using a condom? A hundred percent. Well then. But, you know. Russian roulette. That's what you got to do. That's what you got to do. We played Russian roulette for a long time. But it eventually happens. Does it though? Yeah. Because I am under the impression like I'm fucking good. Like I'm lucky. Yeah.

Isn't that crazy? I think there should be a rule where you need to ask yourself...

When you are fucking without a condom, you're in the moment and you think it'd be hot to tell them like, oh my God, like come in me. Because like that's dirty talk, you know? I'm not. Bri is looking at me horrified. I'm like it's more like an invitation, but yes. Sure. I'm like it's so crazy. I don't know how I'd be pregnant. I have no idea. My favorite dirty talk. You need to think to yourself, would I want to have a baby with this man?

It's a good start. Like, kind of and not really. Because you could just be on birth control. It's 2023. I don't know, guys. Sorry, pregnancy brain. Okay.

Quick segue. So Brie, you live in Los Angeles now. How long have you been living here? I'm born and raised here. Oh. Yeah. So you just did like a little pit stop in Vegas. Yeah. Okay. Got it. I was talking to Brie earlier. One of my really good friends, you were like mutual friends with her. Yeah. So you were doing modeling and then when did you decide to pick up real estate? Yeah.

Well, I went from modeling actually to bottle service. And so I was like, okay, I want to work smarter, not harder. I want to make more money. So I know that I can work six months out of the year and make, you know, 150K minimum. So I was like, I can do that. And then to figure out what I want to do, because I eventually like have to be a grownup. And then I decided like, all right, what's the next thing I can do that can make me like

bigger money and I get some freedom. It was real estate. So I basically leveraged everything I had done, modeling, bottle service, everything. And I just used that for real estate, which worked out perfectly. Can you like elaborate a little bit? Cause I love this. Like

How did you use your modeling to help you? I think that when, if you do it the right way in modeling, you're meeting all of the CEOs, the execs, you're working for these companies. Like if you have good relationships and you're making it with those people, then you usually meet the higher ups. And that was kind of my goal. So whether I'm like, I worked for like Fantasy Lingerie or whatever it was, I wanted to continue that relationship. And so that way I can, now I can go back to that CEO and be like, Hey, you know, I'm

hosting, whatever in Vegas come out. And once you have a more of like a real relationship and a friendship, that really changed real estate for me, I feel like. Because yes, anyone that has money and anyone that has contacts and anyone that has a license can reach out to you. But it's really the relationship that I hold with you, which is going to make you decide that you would rather purchase with me than someone else. Totally. So I kind of like leveraged being the plug for everyone and everything, whether it was like cars, houses, jets, like

You want to invite a bunch of girls. I knew everyone in L.A. Like whatever it was, like I wanted to have all of it.

Like you were the plug. Like you would hook people up. Anything. Whatever they wanted. And I met a lot of like soccer players. I met a lot of like people from overseas. Like people you would never normally meet doing model service because they're all coming to Vegas to party. Yeah. And I made really good friendships and like long-term stuff. And then it kind of just put me in different rooms with people I never thought I would be with. And that's really like I feel like what accelerated everything. Yeah. Vegas is a really crazy place. Yeah.

Yeah. In the sense that you can meet people so quickly. And I don't think it's like that really in too many other places. I think people's wall is down. Like they're here to party. To party, right. They want to have a good time. Like they're really not – they're in a different space. Like when everyone says like what stays in Vegas, like what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, like people really live by that. They do. I can attest from working in Vegas.

Yeah. So I think that, I don't know, it was just, it was so different. I've never had an experience like I did working in Vegas for sure. Just like the connections were crazy. Yeah. I was going to ask you, did you enjoy your time there? I did actually. I think it's something that either eats you alive, just kind of like LA does, but I'm not a huge partier. Like

I don't do drugs. Like it's never really been my thing. Like I like to drink, but I'm also like, all right, I got to go to work. I have a bag to make. So like I know when to take my ass home. So it didn't like devour my life, which I saw happen to a lot of people all the time, which is unfortunate. Yeah. It happens to a lot, a lot of people there. And then after Vegas, so you did two years, then you moved to LA and right away real estate. I kind of was just...

In between everything. I was married at the time to an athlete and he was... Did you meet him in Vegas? Unfortunately, yes.

I'm fucking moving to Vegas. Bye. Yeah. I'm like, well, let me figure my whole eyelid out here for a second. I'm like, I don't know if it's twitching from the person or if it's from my eye. Yeah. No, I met my husband there actually. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but that's what happened. I mean, everyone goes to Vegas. And then we moved back and I kind of –

I was in a position where I had enough money saved. I was good, but I still like just didn't know what I wanted. I didn't know what I wanted to do. I really wasn't

pushing towards real estate. I wasn't pushing towards modeling. I was kind of just like, fuck, like, I don't want to, I don't know what I want. And it really just kind of fell into my lap. I had a couple of clients that I didn't really think were going to take me seriously. It's really hard to transition from partying with people and being a model to stepping into business. It's hard. People look at you and they're like, oh, she's just fucking hot or, oh, she's with so-and-so and you get zero credibility. It doesn't matter how well-spoken you are. It doesn't matter what your credentials are. It

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the people I had built relationships with like really saw me for who I was and trusted me and like gave me the opportunities that they did. And I actually kind of surprised myself, I think. And I was like, okay, I can be an adult now. Like let me figure this shit out. And I just completely transitioned my life. Like all the friends, everybody that I used to hang out with, talk to, like the way I would dress, like everything. I did like a complete turnaround like once I got my divorce and I like –

changed my whole life. It was different. It was different. Do you think the divorce, like it pushed you to like a dark place or like a place where you're like, oh, I got to like change it? Oh, for sure. I think that was like probably aside from what I just went through this year, it was like one of the hardest things that I had ever been through because you really had to like take a look at yourself. And it was like, yes, I made this vow to this person and to –

be married but like I'm miserable this is miserable like I can't help this person no matter how much I want to and it's not my job and it's honestly not my responsibility or my problem and even though that sounds cold and awful like it's the truth and I I allowed it to affect me so much and you know it hindered my growth my success like anything that I deserved and worked for and I

I just couldn't live like that anymore. And I gave all the ultimatums I could give. I did what I needed to do and I had to step away. And as soon as I did, my life like completely changed. Wow. So I don't know. I think it's like a it's interesting. Like when you actually want to make that transition, it's a lot easier than you think it's going to be.

Oh, I love that. Yeah, like I just had to take the chance. I was like, fuck it. What else could I fuck up at this point? I have nothing to lose. No. I always say this. There is nothing more powerful than a woman, specifically a woman who has nothing to lose. Or dangerous. One or the other. I was like, this is going one of two ways here, okay? But yeah. Yeah. I love, thank you for sharing. I love what you pointed out is...

You know, you can love someone to death, whether it's a family member, a friend, you're in a relationship with someone. If they don't want to. Is that funny? I'm choking. She said, I'm choking. The one serious thing I've literally said. Sorry, everyone. Don't choke. How dare you? Okay.

Oh, my gosh. Yeah, you're going to choke, fucking swallow it and creep outside. Just kidding, Alex. Love you. Oh, my gosh. No, I think I'm just really happy that you pointed that out. And I think people need to hear that. Even if it's a family member, best friend, someone you're romantically with, it doesn't matter.

At a certain point, you cannot babysit people and you cannot make them better if they don't want to get better. Exactly. And that's a really hard thing. It is. I mean, and obviously there's like –

You feel some sort of responsibility there. You know what I mean? Yeah. But I don't know. I was like, am I selfish? I was like, no, fuck this. I'm not selfish. I did everything that I could possibly do, bent over backwards, like drug myself through the mud. And like luckily for me, you know, he was very aware of that and made that very public and was very, you know, forthcoming with that. So I did appreciate that aspect. And we have a great relationship now actually. So and like, you know, we still talk. I still fully check in and support him and like,

you know, I'm all for it. And I think he's actually doing a lot better. But I think that just like as a woman, like we are taught that we're supposed to stay with these men no matter what. And you stay with them until we fucking die. And like, it doesn't matter if we're miserable and all of that. And that's just not my MO. I was like, no fucking thank you. So see, I grew up a little bit differently where I never stay in a relationship. I've never, I've

You're going to be pissed at me. You're going to be really upset. I am not very loyal in relationships with men. In my friendships, like with girls, my best friends, loyal till the death. I've cheated on a lot of boyfriends. And I'm trying to change now. I've changed. I don't know. I just feel like I've always had three boyfriends at a time. I

I feel like... Oh! What is? I'm just saying, I'm not somebody... I didn't want to get married. Like, that wasn't, like, my thing. Like, I wasn't, like... I didn't have a fucking wedding. I didn't have a dress. I got married in white sweatpants looking like a troll. Like, I did not give two fucks. No one was there. Nobody knew. Like... Shut up. I was never my dream. Like, I'm not, like, the girl that, like, planned it out in Italy and, like...

you know, whatever. So I don't have a problem with any of that, honestly. I mean, like I respect people that want to be like monogamous and get married. Great. Good for you. But I'm good on all of that. Like, thank you. I feel like I can breathe now. Yeah, no, I don't. There's no judgment here. And I'm like, I might cheat on you. I may not cheat on you. It really just depends on how you treat me. But am I interested? Am I not? Yeah.

But I'm a good person. No, I don't think that makes you a bad person. I know everybody else does. They all think we're bad people. But I'm not like you're – I didn't say I wasn't going to cheat on you. Thank you. If I said that, then maybe. But I didn't say that. I just said that we were talking. If I don't clarify going into something with you –

Like, I'm sorry. Was there a contract? No. Was there an attorney present? No. I didn't – I was like, I never claimed I wasn't going to do that. So therefore, that's all you, buddy. It's not me. And period. Yeah. Period. So we're on the same page. Don't worry. Thank you. I was like so scared to tell you. You got married in – at least they were white sweatpants. They sure were. Yeah.

Okay, so you had that going. I wore like a white bodysuit, one piece fucking basically swimwear and I wore sweatpants. That was it. Did the people at the courthouse, were you guys under the influence at all? No, I wish I was. It would be a better story, but it definitely wasn't. I was very sober. It was like 8.30 in the morning. How does that, like I don't even, I can't even comprehend. Yeah, it was like, are you ready? I'm ready. Let me take the dogs out and get my coffee. Okay, great. Yeah.

Do you guys say take each other forever, whatever the fuck? And we're both like, yep. Are the people at the courthouse, like, do they just see it all day long so they don't give a fuck? No, not at all. So they're not like, what is this bitch wearing? No, they're literally like, so blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yes. Was that a yes? Can I hear you consent? Can you say it louder? Like, it's hilarious. You're like, do you want me to fucking yell at you? Like, yes, I said yes. Like, you're wearing sweatpants. So I just want to double check. Make sure you weren't forced here. Yeah.

Were there other people there, basically women wearing dresses and shit? Yes, there was. Were they looking at you judgmental as fuck? Absolutely. They were like, well, what is wrong with this girl? Why are you here? I'm sure they probably had faith that I was having a real wedding somewhere else. They were probably hopeful that I wasn't.

as disrespectful as I am getting married in my sweatpants in the courthouse without any family or witnesses, but I definitely wasn't. You know what? It was spontaneous. You're just fun like that. Yeah, basically. I think it's fucking dope. Yeah. Did you, but no, you didn't annul it because you guys were together for a while. We tried, but the way COVID happened, it didn't work out that way. It did not work out. What,

What about Kevin Hart's gift when he's like, you know, the way my bank account is set up. That's me. The way my life is set up. It just doesn't fucking work out for me. Yeah. We laugh about that to this day because he'll be like, we were fucking married longer than we were ever actually together. Stop. You were? Yes, we were. Yeah. Like we technically were like together for –

the year that we were actually married. And then COVID hit and I filed and they basically were like, you thought you're going to be married for two more years. And yeah, I couldn't do anything. So I had to walk around with his last name and I'm like fully pregnant. Like your ID, shut up, shut up. So your ID had his last name. Oh yeah, girl. Yep. And you're pregnant with someone else. Yeah. And everyone knows the last name. So they're looking at me fucking crazy. Yeah. And they're literally like,

Okay. Sure. Is this? And I'm like, please don't. They're like, it's not. Please don't. It's not. They're like, no. Uh-huh. You're like, just shh. Yeah, he enjoyed that one every time I would tell him that. He thought it was hilarious. Damn. Will you ever get married again? No. No.

No, straight up. There's no hesitation there. Why? For fucking why? Why? What's the point? I don't get it. Like I really don't. I could fully be with somebody and love you to death and you were my person once we decide that together and we actually agree to that. Then I can be here and be loyal and we can figure that out. But I don't think that a piece of paper makes any fucking difference. And like –

If it comes down to money and stuff, I mean... That's my... That would be the only reason I would. But even still, like, get a prenup. You can still have a prenup without being married. You can still have paperwork to secure yourself without being married. Wait, you can? Yes. You can do things to secure yourself. You can have paperwork. I don't know if that's technically a prenup. Uh-huh. But it's like you can have paperwork. And even, like...

my family attorney was like, when you get married, the best thing for you to do is to create whatever your agreement is going to be or your prenup or whatever in the beginning when you guys still like each other so that you take care of each other regardless of like what happens. Obviously, some people are like, oh, if she cheats on me, fuck you. You get nothing. But that's on them. They make their decision. They make their paperwork. And was it in the contract? Exactly. Thank you. Yeah. So I'm like, I don't know. You can still cover your ass. But also like,

I don't know. I just don't want to be. I don't want to. I honestly, I say this all the time. I know for a fact I want to have kids. Yeah. Which you might be. Just a little ironic that I just said that so casually. Yeah.

I know I want to have kids. I don't know if marriage is for me. And I'm totally – I was raised by a single mom. I'm totally fine doing that. I mean, don't get me wrong. It's hard. Don't get me wrong. It's hard. It's fucking hard. Yeah. But it's like –

Honestly, I would make this decision a million times. I absolutely love it. It works for me. And I don't want to clean up after a grown-ass man and take care of you like I already have a child. I'm taking care of a child. Yeah. So I do applaud the men and the women that have men that take care of them and actually help out. But there's a very small percentage of that. And I, no thank you. I just. Yeah. Yeah.

♪♪♪

I've only dated, no, that's a fucking lie. I was about to lie. But usually I date dudes that babysit me. Not babysit because I'm, you know, an adult, but like they clean up after me. They cook for me. Where did you find those? I don't know, but then they're lacking in every other area. So it's like not that. Okay. Well, yeah. Okay. I'm like, yeah, I haven't found one of those yet. I mean, they might pay someone to do it, but it's not the same.

I like Salvation Army. He actually wasn't even shopping there. He's outside of asking for money. No, the guys I've dated are incredible. I thought that was for real for a second. I was like, wait, hold on. I was like, I am putting some regulations on your vagina from here on out if that's what's happening. You're like, this bitch is crazy. Oh my gosh. Okay, that wasn't real. Okay, got it. Okay, moving on.

I'm sure I was like, what the fuck? Okay. So, Brie, this has been so incredible. And I feel like I could talk to you for another three and a half hours. You're like, bitch, no. I do want to ask you really quickly. So we have the exact same perspective on marriage. Right.

The money thing. Did you sign a prenup, by the way? With my husband? Uh-huh. Hell no. Ex-husband, right? Yeah. Okay. I'm like, let me see your ID. At this point, who fucking knows? With the way the court is set up, he's probably still my husband. Like, I don't even know anymore. That shit takes so long. It took forever. Pfft.

Forever. It takes two seconds to get married, but fucking years to get divorced. And then you can't even like, I couldn't buy a house. Johnny was like, oh yeah, you're going to buy a house? And I'd be like, oh, don't play with me right now. Wait, you couldn't buy a house? Why? No, because I'm married. So therefore it's his house.

Oh, so anything you buy is in there. So like, you know, you can get married and do things that are. Oh, they get 50-50 equity. If he wants to. Like he can basically be like, no, I get half. Like that's the same thing women do in divorce. But it's like you can do things that are like sole and separate property, but you have to do it that way. It just gets messy. So I basically was like, I'm just going to wait until this is done because I'm not going to play this game. I would sell every Birkin, every Chanel. By the way, is that a Kelly or a Birkin? Birkin.

So cute. Thank you. I did like several episodes where my Birkin was sitting in the guest chair in the studio. It was really cute. I would interview her. I have to see that. I'll show you. Okay. So basically don't get fucking married. That's terrifying. Don't do it. Just don't. So then you move to Los Angeles. You are like, you know what?

I am divorced and I just want to switch it up and change the trajectory of my life basically. I definitely partied for like a good six months. I had so much fun and like started to like actually have a little bit of a life again. That's what you have to do. Yeah, because being married was just too much work. And then after that I –

I kind of went the opposite. Then I started traveling for like a year and we were everywhere. Me, my best friend, Chloe, and like all my girlfriends, we would just travel every month and I wanted to see as many places as possible. And then I got more into my career and then I was like, oh my God, I'm going to be fucking 30. Like I need to, I need to have a kid. I need to settle down. I need to figure my shit out. Like, and I literally did it all that year.

Yeah. Something wrong with me. Many things. No, actually, I think that's a dream. Like, how did you manifest that? I just did. I was just like 30. I'm going to do this. Like, I'm going to party for the next year. I'm going to network. I'm going to figure my shit out. And by 30, I'm literally –

going to change my life. I'm going to have a baby. Like this is my plan. And I did. And I didn't even really process that I did that until- Looking back, right? Until I started looking back and I was like, oh shit, I really did hit it at 30. Because I technically had my son on my, like he was born a couple of weeks after my 31st birthday. So I was like pregnant when I was 30 and all of that. So it was crazy to think that I, it really-

actually happened the way I wanted it to. That's, I mean, you got your career, like every single thing. That's so cool. Do you believe in manifestation? 100%. Same. I have vision boards like all in my stuff, in my house, like all over. I have different stuff in my room and then in the office. And like my best friend is like insane about it and the moon and the this and the that. So like I feel like we just hear it all day and all the girls I'm around are so supportive in that. So you kind of just

in it whether you want it to be or not. Totally. No, I'm I have been on that wave since high school. And it's, it's so funny when you were talking about it. You don't really notice it in the moment. Looking back, you're like, Oh, shit. Yeah, it's crazy. It is. It really is crazy. How are you thrown into selling sense? Yeah.

I'm still trying to figure that out. They have a little bit of PTSD. You do? Definitely. Why? It was just a lot. I just had a baby. I had no idea how hard this was really going to be. Like just filming aside was fucking hard. And then having a newborn baby and just not sleeping and working 10, 12-hour days, multiple days a week and breastfeeding and like I didn't want a night nurse because I –

I was like, I want to bond with my kid. I'm already leaving you for so many hours during the day. Like, why would I then bring someone in at night? Yeah, that makes sense. There was a lot of things that I... It was just new to me. I didn't know what the hell I was doing and being sleep deprived and all of that shit, all while trying not to, you know, cuss out some bitch on my show and just function daily and get my body back and remember to eat. Like, it was just...

It was crazy. So you were pregnant filming the show? No, I was pregnant when we were in talks. Oh, okay. And they had actually asked me, I believe it was season two or three. I still can't remember. They asked me a long time ago. And I was really, I had just started my divorce. I was really private with everything at that point. I was like, no, fuck all of this. I just got out of this shit show. Like, I need a break. And they asked me a few times. I was like, no. And then when my pregnancy happened,

was announced, I literally was like, okay, well, now all of my shit's out. Shit's on the table. Now everything's out. So fuck it. Here I am. And so I was like, all right, I got nothing to hide anymore. I mean, it is what it is. And so...

They came to me with it again. And basically my partner was like, this is a great idea. Like I don't. Like go on the show. Yeah. Like you might as well. It's right up your alley. It's at least a professional show. It's not like it's like a dating show or something. You're like, I'm tired. I know. I was like, well, I didn't know I was going to be that tired. My pregnancy, I was fucking killing it and I was thriving. Okay. Like, and then, yeah. And then it started. So. And then what started the show? Just the show. It was just fucking. It started.

Lord, it was just so hard. It was just the glam, like getting ready, which sounds so stupid, but like having to get ready every day and like outfits and the pressure of all of that. You're a new mom. It was just so hard. Even just...

probably too much information for most people but like bleeding after having a kid and like you're freaking leaking milk through your shirt and like you're going through all this shit and you're literally like my body is malfunctioning like my brain is not working I'm on television for the whole world to tell me about myself I've chosen to put myself here and then add in Nick on top of it and I was like oh they're gonna fucking rip me apart I was like I'm never gonna make it out of here

So I didn't know what to expect and I think postpartum is so real and I didn't know. Postpartum depression? Yes. Sorry. Postpartum depression. Like I didn't know it would really fuck you up like that. Like I had no idea. And you think you're fine. You are not fine. And there's like a lot of women that don't want to talk about it and they're embarrassed. They don't.

I am not embarrassed. I was like, someone help me. Where's Xanax? Where's something? But that's the other thing. You're breastfeeding. You can't even do anything. You can't take a Xanax? No, you can't even drink wine. Everyone's yelling at you.

Stop. Yeah. So you're just crying with milk and just there, but you love them so much and it's so beautiful at the same time. So it's like, it was wild. It was a wild ride. So postpartum depression, how long did it last for you? I think it lasted me probably till I was like nine or 10 months, honestly, right up until I had stopped filming. That was when I would say at the year mark, which he just turned, I'm just now starting to feel like semi-human. Like I...

Kind of. You're just such a boss bitch like for sharing that because there's a lot of shame around that. There is and I hate that because it's like we should be supported. The fact that first of all, I'm a super...

fucking superhuman. I just created a child and birthed it. And that's it. That's crazy in itself. It's insane. And then like what your body goes through and like finding out like my organs are moving and my ribs are opening and like all this weird shit. Do they move back? No, I don't think they do. I mean, your organs move back, but my ribs, they're still not really there yet. My clothes don't fit the same, but you know. My boobs are swelling up. I'm so fucking sorry, Shani. Yeah.

She's like, here they go. I'm like, I'm literally asking questions like, fuck. Yeah. I'd be on a plane and a baby would cry and my boobs would just start leaking everywhere. Stop. And you can look forward to that. Oh my God.

You are coming to the baby shower. Oh, I'll be there. Don't worry. You called it. Yeah, I'll be there with the pump and bring you all kinds of goodies. I was like, you were right. Yeah, some lactation cookies. Yeah. Lactation cookies? What? I don't understand. Like, what are those? Just cookies? Because they help your milk supply. Did you have to tell the producers like, hey, if you see me leaking, just let me know? Oh, no. They would just be like, you're good. Just keep going. Okay.

I know. I was going to say, actually, that'd be great for television. Yeah, of course. I'm like, no, it's fine. I'm like, my fucking titty is just out here leaking. Nobody wants to see this. I guarantee you. I think they do, though. I think they absolutely do. Well, maybe only fans, but that's probably about it. It's probably not television.

So postpartum depression, I feel like it really affects so many fucking women. Yeah. Also miscarriages. And nobody talks about either of these things. Either. And it's bizarre to me. I don't understand it. It's so crazy. And you never felt like shame around the postpartum thing. No. I mean, they put me on the shade room for actually being a sarcastic bitch, but I was actually kidding. But it...

They were like, oh, she's postpartum and not sleeping and crazy. And I'm like, oh, so you guys took my joke and then tried to shame me instead and insinuate whatever. It's crazy the way that

other women and moms even are doing that to you. And it's like, really? Like, what do you think that's about? I don't, I still can't figure that out, which is probably why I'm not like a super girls girl. Cause I really don't understand why women act the way that they act. And I'll be like, you thought that was a good idea. Why? Like, why the fuck was that necessary? So I don't, I don't know why women feel like maybe it's insecurity. Maybe it's like, is that even a flex? Oh my God. I had a baby and I didn't have postpartum depression. Oh my God.

Ooh. I don't know. I don't know. Basically. I don't. It's not even cool. Or they'll say shit like, get off the internet. Get off whatever. And it's like, okay.

okay, yeah, maybe they don't need to be sharing like vulnerable moments. But at the same time, like people are doing what's helping them in that moment. So be supportive or just keep it moving. Like you don't have to talk crazy to them and be disrespectful and, you know, like start this whole fucking show for no reason. Yeah. Like either chime in and be helpful or just fuck all the way off. That's I always think like that, too. I'm not very...

I also have to say I am not very vulnerable and open on social media. Very open, hence me showing my vagina earlier on camera. If I'm feeling like really depressed or something, I think I'll shy away. But, you know, I used to be judgmental of women or men that would like get on their Instagram story and like cry and talk about what they were going through. And now that I'm older and I'm not being a dumbass hater, it's like –

A, that helps certain people cope. Yeah. You know, and do what you need to do. Also, B...

It's like lucrative as fuck. So keep that in fucking mind. Yeah, I don't know. I think it's just like I don't know why people are so bothered by other people's choices. It's very strange to me, but I'm like, okay, sure. That's the biggest thing. That's the biggest takeaway. No one is like going out of their way to speak to you directly. Why do you feel so personally upset? Yeah, it's bizarre.

Damn. We've covered a lot of fucking bases this episode. So are you going to be on next season? I am. Okay. Yeah. Did you guys already film it or no? Yeah, we did. Was that one a little bit better for you? Yeah, I think that one was a little better. I think even just like the

The time going on with my kid where I actually like maybe slept for an hour or two like really helped. I don't know how you did that. I don't either. I turn into a monster. Oh, yeah. I was just honestly, I think it's what saved me because no one was home when certain people wanted to argue with me. I was like, I'm literally too tired to give a fuck. Say whatever you want to say. I do not care. Like their producer like Brie, you're sleeping. Yeah. You're sleeping. Do something. Say something like jump over the table. And I was like, I couldn't if I wanted to. Like I'm too tired.

Yeah. So maybe it like worked to your advantage. Probably. Because maybe you would have been like super over the top and done things you may have regretted. I thought being like hormonal and postpartum that that was what was going to happen. Too tired. Like I was too tired. So I'm thankful because honestly, I don't really care. So it was like it worked out good. But –

Yeah. I don't know. Well, I cannot wait to watch next season. When does it come out? That they don't tell us. They don't tell us shit. No. Oh. No, they want to make sure we – So what? You like get on Instagram and you're like, oh shit, I guess I'll throw this up on my story. Because they don't want us to fuck it up. They want to make sure that they have, you know. But how would you fuck it up? Like go talk about it? Like reveal something? Yeah. We've had a couple people slip and say some things. Before it came out? Yeah. Are you talking about yourself? Oh, no. Not me. Oh. Oh.

You're looking at me. Not me. I'm the only one that didn't get in trouble. Oh. Yeah. I mean, and they don't mean to. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like naturally you're in conversation. And you just say things. Totally. And people are good at their jobs. They know what to ask you. They know how to get it out of you. Yeah. So I don't think it was intentional, but they decided after that that we have no –

I'm surprised they even let you because I'm very good friends with a bunch of people on Vanderpump Rules, well, Katie and Lala. And they got to a point where they were like, okay, no more podcasts. You guys cannot even go on podcasts anymore. Oh, because they were divulging too much stuff? Yeah. I don't think we're allowed to do anything either and not until it actually airs. Or I might get in trouble for this. Who knows? But I also don't care. Yeah.

So don't give a fuck. I'm like, okay, so do I have to delete this right after? She's like, just kidding. This never happened. No, I think it's just if you're protecting the show, you know what I mean? Yeah. That's all that really matters. I just don't want you to – we don't want to give away all the goods. Of course. We want everyone to tune in. You'll just tell me after and on the microphone. Exactly. And I'll leak it. I'm totally kidding. I'm totally kidding.

Okay, Brie, you are stunning, gorgeous, so smart, and you're the best. Love you. Thank you so much for coming on. Where can they find you? I'm on Instagram. I'm on this new whatever this fucking threads thing is that I can't fucking do. Snap, and I'm obsessed with TikTok. So you can basically find me anywhere. Yes. So I'll be annoying on all platforms. I'll be there.

And it's Brie, B-R-E. Yeah, B-R-E. And last name is T-I-E-S-I. I love that last name. It's hot. Wait, did you buy the Birkin? Me. Who's that? What does it say? Girl, you been a fan. Ha ha.

And honestly, this is going to make so much sense when you watch season seven. Oh, my God. That's about like the most tea I can give you right there. I love that. But you are going to look at this and you're going to be like, no. Oh, my God. Yeah. So she's special. She was made just for that. Oh, so you got it custom? How much was that? A lot. You don't want to say? Mm-hmm. I only have one Birkin. A guy bought it for me and a Kelly. Mm-hmm.

And I'm pissed that I bought the Kelly with my own money. Well, yeah. I mean, we want them to buy it. Yeah. I think I'm going to have the next boyfriend, like the next relationship I get into, I'm going to have him buy the Kelly back from me. Perfect. Wrap it and then give it to me as a present. Well, I think that he should just have to buy you a new one. Yeah. And then he should also have to. Venmo me maybe? Yes, for the other one. Because I'm pissed that I spent my own money on it.

Anyways, that's just a little bit about me. I am pregnant and no guy is probably going to want to date me because I sound like a crazy person. Brie, I love you. We already said that. Sleuth, I love you guys so much. As always, Sophia the Neff, Franklin the Y. Subscribe. Me on YouTube is just Chef's Kiss. And I will talk to you guys next week. Bye.
