00:00The internet's really coming for you right now with what you said about Meg and Tory.
00:07Do you feel like people are misinterpreting what you said?
00:11Yeah, definitely. I'm going to be honest, I've never been called a racist in my entire life.
00:16Yeah.
00:17So it's just like a little bit of a shock to me.
00:19What do you say to people that are calling you racist?
00:22I'm sorry, what?
00:23What do you say to the people that are calling you racist?
00:26I mean, honestly, I've been kind of just staying silent right now just because of the disaster that's happening.
00:32Yeah.
00:33So I just feel it's a little insensitive for people to be attacking.
00:36I obviously understand if they're offended and I deeply apologize for that.
00:40I know her name, obviously. It was just a stupid, dumb, blonde moment, I think, in the moment during our podcast.
00:46And I actually do have an issue with pronouncing vowels sometimes.
00:50Oh really?
00:51And I'm not going to play the victim or use this as an excuse because I am foreign.
00:54I wasn't even born here. I didn't speak English when I came here.
00:56Clearly, now you can hear that I do speak proper English, but I do have a tendency to mix up vowels, especially if I'm nervous.
01:02And in that moment during the podcast, I was very nervous just from, you know, personal things I was going through.
01:08And me butchering her name, you know, was an innocent mistake.
01:11So no one had thought that it was going to be an issue.
01:14So like, I obviously do apologize for anyone that I've offended or I understand how that could be disrespectful.
01:20But that wasn't like my intention at all.
01:22Yeah, it's just like a...
01:24It was just an honest mistake, yeah.
01:26And I'm going to try to say it, Megan Thee Stallion. Okay, there you go.
01:31Megan Thee Stallion, I got you girl. I'm so sorry.
01:34You are a fan of her though.
01:35Yes, yeah, like I'm a fan. I clearly have used her songs.
01:37A lot of people are thinking that I'm bitter, that I'm angry, but I'm not.
01:41Like I said, we haven't been a thing for years, so I'm not like bitter about it at all.
01:46Yeah, the mispronunciation was just like an accident.
01:49Yeah.
01:51Why do you think that Tori's dating Meg?
01:56Because you said that obviously you didn't think that she was his type.
02:01I mean, I didn't say that, by the way.
02:04That was something that was said by my host.
02:07I just chimed in that he happens to, you know, see or date other girls that look similar to me.
02:11And that has nothing to do with race.
02:13Like I'm shocked that that's even being said.
02:16But yeah, no, I don't think she's not his type.
02:19I think I was just more so shocked that he was dating someone in the public eye that's as big as her.
02:24You know, because she has like a megastar.
02:26So I was just more so shocked from my past personal experience of like knowing him and just knowing who he is as a person.
02:33And maybe he's changed, obviously.
02:35Like I'm sure he has, you know.
02:37Do you feel like it was a little bit of a clout chase of him going after Megan?
02:41I'm not going to say anything about that.
02:43I don't know, obviously.
02:44So I don't want to like steer the pot for that.
02:47Obviously, I'm happy for him.
02:49And I think it's incredible that he's dating someone as beautiful and as big as her.
02:53But yeah, this podcast clip had nothing to do with race.
02:57Like that was not my intent.
02:58So obviously I apologize to anyone that I've offended.
03:00But that's, yeah, that was not my intention like whatsoever.
