  • I looked on YouTube for how to look better on Zoom.

  • [dog barking]

  • That's also very bright, isn't it?

  • Let's do it.

  • Life has been very interesting.

  • I got my own place now.

  • It's only like 500 square feet

  • but it feels like a mansion to me.

  • All included about $1700.

  • I met Elvis downtown.

  • He's not the real one.

  • People were asking me for money

  • to buy Dior shoes.

  • I was like, “I think you messaged the

  • wrong person here. I think this is for Kane?”

  • In case you didn't know, check out my LinkedIn.

  • It says, “Gucci, Prada, Chanel.”

  • During Covid, there was no shopping, no nothing.

  • Having a friend like Anna

  • nothing's shut down.

  • Like Gucci, we'll just stand in the window

  • and the Gucci girl will be like

  • Do you want this one?”

  • And then Anna's like

  • This, this, this, and this.”

  • You know, it's just Anna.

  • It's just Anna.

  • The way you see her on the show

  • is the way she is in her day-to-day life.

  • Being me is me, so...

  • that I can't help.

  • Anna does not give a fuck about anything.

  • It's just Anna. I love that about her.

  • Ah, you're really going to ask us that question?

  • Team Christine right now, because I need

  • a present this year from you Christine.

  • I would say both?

  • I'd have to say Team Anna.

  • I'm going to go for the underdog

  • so I'm going to go for Christine.

  • It's just Anna's world

  • we're all just living in it.

  • Love them both.

  • Team Anna or Team Christine?

  • Both.

  • Anna.

  • You know, can't we all just get along?

  • [Christine] It's already done, the dinner?

  • -[Anna] Yeah. -But this is your party.

  • -Thanks, Anna. -[Anna] Yes.

  • I just follow your timing, your lead.

  • Okay.

  • Anna's invite says 9:00 p.m. start.

  • That bitch gave me the wrong time.

  • The joke's on me.

  • [laughs] The joke's on me, again.

  • When I'm watching Anna play games

  • changing my seat

  • or telling me the wrong time to show up

  • watching it replay, it hurts still a little bit now.

  • I do know Anna's heart

  • and I respect her.

  • It is what it is.

  • I didn't feel

  • that certain people were really real.

  • You see someone like Christine

  • it is very very hard for me

  • to take her seriously.

  • When I first met her she was very

  • different than she is now.

  • Anna and I have had dinner together

  • and you know

  • we've exchanged texts.

  • No.

  • That is a simple

  • no I do not talk to her.

  • Viewers are talking and they're reacting.

  • But personally speaking I feel that

  • the show only showed one layer of me

  • and one aspect of who I really am.

  • She's the queen of couture.

  • Like, she can just

  • say and do what she wants and own it

  • and that's what I love about her.

  • She is who she is and I think she's just a badass mom.

  • I was very nervous to see how some of my playful

  • mischievous side would come out on screen

  • and the dramatic like, cat and mouse game

  • I had with Anna.

  • So I do regret the way I came off.

  • I hope that if we get more seasons

  • fans will get to see a fuller picture of my life

  • and things I value.

  • You know the fun side of Christine.

  • She has a penis pump!

  • What?! She has a penis pump in her shower!

  • Uh, the penis pump.

  • Here's the thing

  • with the whole penis pump.

  • It's kind of an infamous

  • iconic scene I feel like.

  • It was pretty entertaining, I'll tell you that.

  • That moment was just hilarious.

  • It was almost like.

  • I literally was shocked.

  • My reaction, what you say, was

  • I'm shocked. I was like, "What is that thing?”

  • Kim is very, very nosy.

  • I was like, “throw it out! It's like

  • it's all dripping and stuff.”

  • And then she has to be so loud and scream.

  • [laughs]

  • She's very boisterous.

  • She's very obnoxious.

  • I was just in shock. Like, "You're really, you're mad?"

  • "Like, you're really, really mad at me for that?"

  • If they went up there

  • they went up there for a purpose.

  • Then Kim was like, you know

  • Throw it out there!” Okay, let's just have fun.

  • This is supposed to be fun.

  • I don't know how people do this.

  • Some of the cast members, like Jaime

  • a lot of them don't even know what a penis pump is.

  • Alright, I'm going to look up

  • what a penis pump is

  • now since I haven't done it.

  • It's...

  • It doesn't look like the

  • these look smaller than the one that

  • the one that was at Anna's...

  • house.

  • I have my own penis pump right here.

  • [laughs]

  • This is my personal penis pump.

  • I better clear my search history.

  • [laughs]

  • Kim's actions suprised me, like

  • just going through Anna's house

  • so that scene I was like

  • Whoa, Kim— I've never seen that side of you.”

  • Yes, that was wrong for me to

  • go through someone's house.

  • When you put me and Kim together

  • we're kind of like double trouble.

  • I feel like when I'm around Guy

  • he brings out this immature childish side of me.

  • There are some people that are mad

  • that I would do something like that to Anna.

  • Guy.

  • Why would he go upstairs

  • just to see my shampoo?

  • I did it one time

  • I'll never do it again.

  • My hairdresser

  • doesn't even do that.

  • It was harmless but

  • unfortunately to a lot of people out there

  • they're like, “That's the most disrespectful

  • thing" and I understand that.

  • I now embrace it because it's part of

  • you know

  • history, I guess?

  • We're so busy arguing about a penis pump

  • where the most important question is

  • who does it belong to?

  • Whose penis pump was it?

  • Initially I thought it was Kevin's.

  • I'm like, “Is that how he's getting all the Dior?

  • The penis pump? Like—"

  • [laughs]

  • Maybe Florent's?

  • Kevin?

  • It think that was Florent's penis pump

  • that maybe he left there by accident?

  • Probably Florent's.

  • Well, not mine I'm telling you.

  • That's all what I'll say.

  • [laughs]

  • I still want to know where my security was

  • now thatthinking about this.

  • Like, where were they?

  • Let's be honest.

  • Let's get the elephant out of the room.

  • The relationship that changed the most

  • since filming

  • is definitely my relationship with Andrew.

  • With the Kelly and Andrew situation

  • that's another story that really surprised me.

  • After watching the show

  • I didn't know he was like that.

  • What I heard in Paris

  • unbelievable.

  • [Andrew] I would neverWould you want me

  • to do that to you? Yes or no?

  • [Kelly] I don't— The things that you

  • [Andrew] Yes or no?

  • [Andrew] I don't want to hear anything but "yes" or "no."

  • I wouldn't care.

  • [Andrew shoutsYes or no?

  • You know, you should never

  • talk to a woman like

  • or anybody, you should never talk to anybody

  • like that, you know, so I was like really shook.

  • I didn't know what the word gaslighting mean

  • but, until like now

  • I actually had to look it up, I'm like

  • "What does that mean?" You know?

  • So I definitely see where

  • the audience was coming from.

  • They saw a period, a really dark period

  • of our relationship.

  • And with Andrew's behavior

  • I don't excuse it at all

  • and I think it's 100% wrong.

  • After filming, we took a good

  • I would five month or six month break

  • where we just both focused on ourselves.

  • I feel like I've grown a lot.

  • Filming felt like, like I guess one

  • of those plants that was, I was

  • in the light

  • and then the construction crew came over

  • and put the concrete

  • and it went dark

  • but now I feel like that I'm plant that you see

  • when you go running through

  • who's bursted through the concrete.

  • Going to therapy individually

  • and just learning about

  • ourselves.

  • And I've been able to resolve so many issues

  • that I didn't even know that were

  • still open, like a wound.

  • You know that we're back in communication

  • and back and seeing each other

  • it's just been

  • it's night and day.

  • We are together today.

  • Stronger, happier

  • than we ever have been.

  • The anger issue, honestly is his darkest secret

  • and now that it's out in the world

  • hopefully we can just

  • you know, only go up from here.

  • People change.

  • And people forget that he will change too.

  • And he will become better and he will

  • learn from all of this stuff and

  • people aren't always like that.

  • The more that we can expose

  • the more that we can grow

  • not only behind the camera

  • but in front of the camera.

  • For Andrew and my relationship

  • if it's engagement

  • if it's moving back together in the same household

  • if it's having a baby

  • everybody's life is different.

  • So for me, I think

  • whatever happens is supposed to happen

  • and I'm just living in the present

  • and I'm really grateful for that.

  • Do I have any advice

  • for

  • Kelly and Andrew?

  • I tried. I did the best I could.

  • But don't play into his game.

  • Yeah.

  • If he has issues, don't put it onto her.

  • There ain't no dick that good.

  • I wanted to ask her, is it the sex?

  • But then I thought that's a little

  • too intrusive so I saidlisten.”

  • There ain't no dick that good.

  • Ain't no dick this good.

  • There's no dick that good.

  • I was like, okay.

  • That was my favorite

  • it's like hands down the best.

  • Like— I don't know why

  • I just thought it was hilarious.

  • How do I react to Anna's line saying

  • There ain't no dick that good?”

  • I react to it like this.

  • [laughs]

  • You have a great sense of humor.

  • We make memes out of each other.

  • The memes.

  • I don't know what they are.

  • I have no idea how to work these.

  • And then, Twitter.

  • She's trending on Twitter because

  • if you see like the top one.

  • It's likeAnna Shay, reality gold.”

  • I'm like, fuck. Like, you know, I mean she

  • didn't expect this and she didn't want any of this.

  • There ain't no dick that good.

  • Do I still stand by it?

  • Yes.

  • When we watched it for the first time

  • I definitely probably used up all that tissue

  • in the tissue box.

  • [Doctor] Open your eyes. And look down.

  • [Doctor] Here comes your baby.

  • Oh my god

  • [baby crying]

  • [Doctor] Thank you.

  • [Cherie] Just to see this little baby breathing and

  • and healthy, and happy, and

  • I can't be more grateful I mean he

  • he saved me. Really, he did.

  • I am all about women empowering women.

  • Will you love me forever?

  • Yes, of course.

  • And?...

  • [laughs]

  • What?

  • And will you marry me?

  • [crowd erupts]

  • We definitely don't have a date.

  • We don't want to have a Zoom wedding.

  • We don't want to plan and have a small wedding

  • have people get sick.

  • Like we don't know anything yet.

  • [laughs]

  • Yeah, nothing, nothing's set in stone yet.

  • Oh my gosh, you look really cute.

  • Well, watching the series for the

  • first time was very tough.

  • Actually I was very emotional.

  • Yeah, he

  • That the next morning. I don't know why

  • He cried on the way to the gym. I was like, “what?”

  • Okay, well you didn't have to say that.

  • Especially a lot of

  • scenes I had to do with

  • you know, Cherie dealing with her mom's

  • mom passing.

  • I think that was very tough for us.

  • It's really hard because I miss her a lot.

  • We light this for your mom, and offer it to Buddha for your mom.

  • And I think she's in a much better place.

  • This meant so much to me

  • and this year, like I, I understand how

  • important it is to have good friends.

  • Anyways

  • but anyways

  • To me the best part is being able to share

  • with audiences a little bit of our lives.

  • And I think, considering the filming and what we have gone through

  • hopefully seeing that and we can touch other

  • people and comfort audience in their own way.

  • -[Kim] Hey, listen. [chuckles] -[Kevin] What's upWhat's up? [chuckles]

  • [laughs]

  • How can we never be serious, ever?

  • -I don't know. -[Kim] Look at me with a straight face?

  • I'm trying, but you make me smile. I don't know.

  • As far as Kim and Kevin goes they already fight like a married couple.

  • How do you know this?

  • [laughs]

  • Me and Kim's relationship has changed a lot.

  • People are like, “do they get along or do they get along?”

  • I think

  • it's actually brought us closer.

  • Me and Kim talk about relationships a lot.

  • For some odd reason I'm like hisgo-to personwhen it

  • comes to his relationships and I'm like you know giving him advice.

  • Is there an attraction, I don't know

  • and we're trying to like

  • I don't know!

  • Maybe I'll flirt with him here and there, but

  • I don't know.

  • She's hot you know?

  • Like how could I not?

  • Wait, what? I didn't know you said that about me.

  • I think maybe I got mad at him. I unfollowed him, he unfollowed me.

  • Kim and I do not follow each other on Instagram.

  • Yeah, I don't know why we still have that little, like social media like rivalry thing.

  • It's funny he's one of those people like

  • Hey I'm following you. You better follow me back.

  • Oh you're not following me back?

  • Okay, I'm going to unfollow you.”

  • He didn't give me a chance. So I'm like, “Okay.”

  • If I follow you first

  • but you don't follow me back

  • does that mean now, you?

  • I like you more, like?

  • I'll follow him now if he follows me maybe.

  • It's a commitment following her now, this time.

  • Oh yeah, he's all up on my page.

  • She watches every one of my stories.

  • Okay

  • I think if Kevin had like twenty million dollars

  • there might be a relationship that's about to happen.

  • But at the moment, he has like twenty bucks.

  • So, I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.

  • [laughs]

  • Why is he so upset?

  • Because it's your penis pumper?

  • [laughs]

  • Like, let me go in her house and do

  • all this shit, you know?

  • Who raised you, wolves?

  • What'd you say?

  • Who raised you, wolves?!

  • My favorite quote.

  • You can say anything to me

  • but when it comes to my mom and my dad I'm very protective.

  • When I found out about my father passing

  • I needed a lot of time alone to, to heal.

  • Possible Tony's calling.

  • Tony.

  • [woman] I am Tony's wife.

  • You're Tony's wife.

  • -Oh, my— -[Kane] Where's Tony?

  • Where is Tony?

  • [Tony's wifeHe died.

  • -[Kevin] He died? -[Tony's wife] He died two years ago.

  • [Kevin] Oh, no!

  • I actually reached out to Marilyn, my father's wife.

  • She actually asked me, “Would you like to have his ashes? I can send it to you.”

  • It got, maybe more emotional.

  • I asked her, “You know, I haven't seen him in so long if you can send me any photos of him?”

  • She's a wonderful woman. She had a really great relationship with my father which made me really happy.

  • When Kane and I went to South Carolina I knew it was a violation of her privacy.

  • There was so much fear in doing that, like, “Oh my gosh, she's going to kill us.”

  • You know, but I came from a place of compassion and I think, you know, it's like, you know what?

  • I think she's going to be understanding.

  • I wasn't too happy about it, but I know Kane and Kevin's intention wasn't bad so you know I was like, "I appreciate it."

  • You know and if it wasn't for them going out of their way to do that, I probably wouldn't have the closure I wanted.

  • Watching the show definitely brought all the emotions back but I'm so grateful it happened.

  • You know it makes me really sad that people think I'm a name dropper.

  • I started noticing a different Christine

  • that felt that she had to name drop.

  • We go to Dolce Gabbana Alta Moda

  • and then we'll take the boat around the coast.

  • But she has nothing to prove to me.

  • My kind of circle is very fashion engaged so

  • so, fashion talk, names of houses, that's in our everyday vernacular.

  • Her fashion sense and her knowledge in fashion, you have to credit her for that.

  • -Have you ever heard of Mellerio? -[Anna] Who?

  • -Mellerio. -[Anna] Uh-uh.

  • -It's the oldest, um, high jewelry house… -No. Boucheron.

  • -…in Paris. -Boucheron is.

  • Mellerio is.

  • So I would say, both were right in some ways

  • cause Boucheron is actually the first maison that was on Place Vendôme in Paris.

  • And in any case, I would say that in Anna's heart Boucheron is number one.

  • So...

  • So, you're a jewelry expert, right? -Yes.

  • What's your assessment on everyone's jewelry at this table?

  • [laughs]

  • [Christine] Thumbs up, thumbs down, all the way around.

  • [Florent] There is, uh,

  • one fake. [chuckles]

  • Fake?

  • [Florent] Yeah, I suppose.

  • [laughs]

  • You can tell?

  • I mean, literally a five year old can tell that was costume jewelry.

  • Did I say that? Did I really say that?

  • I also think that you don't really need real jewelry all the time to look good.

  • Kelly

  • rité alternative.

  • Alternative truth.

  • [laughs]

  • Hi Siri, who has the worst style?

  • Kevin Kreider.

  • [laughs]

  • He doesn't even wear a shirt so what are we talking about.

  • I have the worst style.

  • Shirtless?

  • Is that a genre?

  • I never thought you'd ask!

  • [grunts]

  • [laughs]

  • What's going on?

  • Everytime you take off your shirt Kevin, you lose money, because that's his money, that's how he makes money right?

  • Who has the most interesting style is Guy Tang. He looks like he's from some action movie like

  • They're gauntlets.

  • These are Guy Tang ones.

  • These are Guy Tang custom ones, yeah.

  • Baby G loves his Target fashion.

  • I mean I can fill his closet with as much Dolce and Gabbana and Versace but he's going straight to Target

  • The kid likes comfort, what can I say?

  • I do kind of regret, I didn't have access to my full closet.

  • I brought like 1/50th of what I actually have so

  • 1/50th of everything that I have.

  • But yeah that was the only thing that was a bit tricky.

  • Since filming I don't think we've had any additional discussion about adding to the family

  • but

  • I've gotten a ton of solicitations to be our surrogate from all over the world.

  • Maybe we'll have to reopen that discussion.

  • Regrets, I was obviously, I think Kelly is going to get a lot of anal memes

  • about you know me talking about her like anal, so

  • Oh my goodness, Kane, Kane, Kane, Kane, Kane.

  • I have no idea where he got the anal thing from.

  • Kane.

  • You know she didn't say that.

  • I don't know, hopefully she gets some endorsements, anal endorsements, and

  • she's a business woman so I'm like, “Take it in, Kelly! Take it in.”

  • So I would like to set that straight, where I never ever ever told Kane that I like anal.

  • Yeah! It's like, what?

  • [laughing]

  • The Asians are here!

  • -We're here to buy your property! -We're here, bitches!

  • -[Kane] We're here to buy your houses! -[Kevin] Whoo!

  • [woman] You really scared them away. They've never run so fast.

  • [Kane] Did the Asian people scare them?

  • At the end of the day, I hope the message taken away is, heart, and family

  • community and unity which is very much an Asian value.

  • This show means everything to me when it comes to Asian and Asian representation.

  • Bling Empire means so much to me when I was actually watching it, through

  • I think when I was in the midway episode four, I was like, “fuck.”

  • This is an all Asian cast on a global streaming network.

  • I think for Asian American representation I think Bling Empire shows

  • a rare vulnerable perspective of a culture that generally is devoid of emotions.

  • We're no different than any other human being.

  • There are many different types of Asians, and I hope that the show was able to show some of that.

  • Bling Empire, it's something that I wish that I had growing up.

  • My whole life, I never had that.

  • Or at least representation in a way that I aspired to want to watch on TV or become.

  • And so hopefully that, we will get an opportunity to expand the

  • narrative to showcase more of the Asian culture and community, in the future which is definitely a goal.

  • The best part of the show coming out is having Korean adoptees actually reach out and say,

  • Our stories are finally being told.”

  • You know thatthis is a great group.

  • We all as a group talk often. We have a group chat.

  • Ooo, who would I drop from the group chat?

  • Nobody.

  • Okay no, I'm lying.

  • Jaime.

  • I would drop Jaime from the group chat.

  • Jaime cause she never responds.

  • I would drop Jaime from the group chat.

  • Jaime because she's so busy influencing she never responds.

  • 641 unread messages so

  • Sometimes people just text so many your phone's like dinging a million times.

  • Also it's super difficult to type with long nails.

  • Who would I drop from the group chat?

  • Well, I would need to be in the group chat to drop someone.

  • I would like to get in the group chat, first.

  • It's been amazing, I don't know how to put it into words. I'm just really grateful.

  • It's not up to us whether the show is successful

  • it's up to people that watching this and watching this and just

  • following us on social media. So I'm super thankful for that.

  • Thank you guys so much.

  • Thank you.

  • Thanks for making me cry.

  • Bye!

  • [ANNA] Do I click off? [INTERVIEWER] We can take care of it. Don't worry.

  • Oh, thank you!

I looked on YouTube for how to look better on Zoom.
