Something I’ve always wondered is how people think they look when they’re on a reality tv show. I’d imagine many people aren’t happy with their appearance, and I believe a lot of people try to blame editing on how they’re portrayed. One thing I can say with certainty, is that I have no interest in supporting any show, podcast, photoshoot, video game or anything else Claudia Jordan will be involved in in the future (if she can find anyone willing to work with her.) My understanding of The Next 15, is that it was supposed to be a show that would rehabilitate the public images of former reality tv stars, however, all this show has done is show Claudia Jordan for being exactly who she is, the pettiest person there is.
Rarely do I have actual feelings of hate for someone, but I actually hate Claudia Jordan. I don’t wish her physical harm or distress, I just wish she would go away and never come back.
With that said, let’s discuss this super-sized finale.
We start out with New York and her boyfriend(?) Action(I refuse to remember how to spell his name) fighting in a clothing store as our weekly timer counts down. Do people care about this storyline? I know I don’t.
We’re back at Karamo’s AIDs awareness party, and my girl Laura is letting Claudia know exactly how messy she was being.
We find out that Benzino was in charge of booking an interview with Ray J.
I’ll just leave that there.
Claudia, in her usual messy form, was trying to bring Benzino down and say that he wasn’t pulling his weight, but when Jennifer tried to defend Benzino by saying he had just had a baby, Claudia said, “he didn’t have a baby, his girlfriend had a baby.”
Where should I start?
First of all, Althea is his fiancee. Second of all, maybe if you had ever had a child or a man who cares for you enough to give you a child, you would know that the birth of a child is a hectic time for both parents, not just the mother. So, before you try to come for someone, maybe you should know what it’s like to walk for 5 minutes in their shoes instead of your Steve Maddens with painted red bottoms.
Laura’s point was that Claudia is really good at picking horrible times to confront people about the pettiest of issues. Of course Karamo tried to defend Claudia, because he’s crawled so far up her ass that he’s got a daily view of her tonsils.
Claudia tried to throw some little shade by saying she can finally see why some people haven’t worked since their reality show has ended. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE SINCE YOU WERE FIRED FROM THE REAL HOUSEWIVES BABE?
Claudia has a discussion with Carlos King, and basically Claudia said she doesn’t feel like she has any power over the direction of this talk show that will never happen. Instead of wasting his time, Carlos tells Claudia to hire and fire whoever she wants, because he knows this show will never be on tv anyways.
Next Jennifer is practicing some dance moves for a performance she is doing of her new single that Benzino has autotuned to the MAX. Karamo shows up, and he has a lovely little (petty) video message to show Jennifer.
Let me see if I can unpack this properly. Claudia didn’t want Jennifer (or Benzino, who was also a subject of the video) to be a part of her whack pretend talk show anymore, so instead of being a real woman about it and confronting them herself, she decided to record an iPhone video to send to Karamo for him to show to them.
Did I get that right?
Jennifer was visibly worked up. I don’t think Jennifer was upset about not being involved in Claudia’s flaw ass talk show. I think Jennifer was more feeling like this is exactly the type of fake shit Claudia does that Jennifer’s been talking about, and while Jennifer wanted to discuss Claudia’s fraud activities, she brought up a video to show Karamo of Claudia making jokes about being almost raped during an audition. Jennifer’s feelings were that if you’re so sensitive to the topic of rape and sexual assault, why are you making light of it on a podcast, especially one hosted by 2 men.
Next we’re with Laura and Jennifer, and Laura is looking for a new house. Nothing really happened here, but when Laura’s realtor told her the house they were looking at was listed for $4 million dollars and there were only public schools, she made the funniest facial expression.
We get an interstitial of Benzino licking his phone while Facetiming with his fiancee.
