Yeah.

It was in theaters, so I was, like, in LA, New York doing that.

So when I was going to Dallas, I was like, "Okay, I'm excited.

I get to see the ladies, like, catch up on what I missed, what's tea, what happened." And so as you see, when she's, like, crying at breakfast, I'm, like, rubbing her back like, "Who did this to you?"

What?

... of the drama, or were you just able to sorta, like, be a bystander? You're gonna see me laugh a lot more.

Okay, that's good.

Oh, I was on-- Listen, you're gonna see a lot.

when they left you?

Performative.

Dramatic.

You know, I feel like it was for a moment, 'cause I don't really know where this issue, you know, came from.

And she hasn't really [laughs] I don't even think she knows[laughs] To be honest-

Okay

...

so I can read it, you know, and really get familiar.

And I think my intention is never like, to try to play somebody, but I think that sometimes on reality TV, people like to have things that they can use to be like, yeah.

Yeah, and that's not how I operate either.

Like, I will, you know, try to get to know everybody, because that's my intention.

So I'm not the girl that's gonna dig up the dirt try to get a receipt, but I will keep one.

If you try to pull my card, I will.

Oh, you pulled the receipt.

Honey, because we got to have it.

No, like it's

Yeah.

It was, like, a whole lot of things going on, and so I wasn't around the girls as much.

So Dallas, for me, was, like, let me get into the vibes, let me catch up with everyone.

I haven't really been around.

So when she brought this up, I was really flabbergasted, 'cause I'm like, I haven't even really talked to the ladies.

I haven't really been around.

You know, I'm thinking, I'm coming in, like, what's tea? What did I miss?

Mm.

So what have you changed about your dynamic? Is it a style of communication that you've altered and has Chanel helped with any of this as a relationship expert?

I learned something in every conversation and I asked a lot of questions, but I have been on a journey of like healing.

you know and you guys have kind of seen that just going through everything focusing more on me putting myself first getting back to my career yes putting out an album which helped me so much that was like my therapy um and just getting back to my purpose in life yeah you know I think for so long because of the anxiety and the anxiousness I was like submissive and wanting to do whatever I could to make it work, where I kind of lost myself and my voice, which you guys saw a lot play out on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

So now I'm just in a place of like, this is me, this is who I am, you know, and I'm getting back to my love, which is acting and music.

So I'm blessed, yeah.

How does Ralph feel about you trying to date? And do you care?

Yeah, no.

I don't care.

See,

that's what it's like.

People say, well, why didn't you say this or why couldn't you share that? And it's like as transparent as I have been, the world has seen literally the demise of my marriage.

It is me always considering my kids.

And this is like something Chanel and I share and all the time is like, you know, really me taking time to get back to my purpose.

And now like I can come and say, okay, I dropped my album.

I did something for me and oh, I'm back to my movies.

Does that happen on the show or did it happen like behind the scenes? No one had a chance to see that play out.

Drew, how is it for you? You haven't dated in a long time.

Ten years.

Ten years.

I'm like, what is dating? Like, what is out here? How do you date? It's like literally starting over.

And it's so different now than 10 years ago when I was dating.

So, I mean, I have put myself out there a little bit.

I haven't been like outside, outside in the streets or like on the sidewalk.

I mean,
