Josh just shook his head, "You and Heather were a mess. Speaking of mess, what were your thoughts on Izzy throughout the show?"
Leshawna took the picture of the fiery redhead, "Izzy is a... well-intentioned, good person. I will start off like that. But she likes to tell a lot of lies, and wild stories that are... creepy at best, and illegal/morally wrong at worst. It was too much for me to deal with chile. When she lost the Boney Island challenge for us, I HAD IT with her. We did get into a fight, and I gave her some props for getting some hits in. When she returned, we did get along for a bit, but I thought it was odd that she knew how Heather was, and willingly chose to align with her. She cooled down a bit during "Action", but then she went all crazy in "World Tour". I did feel bad for her when she was tricked by the producers, Noah, and Owen. She had a meltdown on the Aftermath set, and she was pissed off for a while."
"Okay, so now it's time to talk about Alejandro's prototype, and your fiance's bandmate Justin. You openly flirted with him all throughout the second season, and then he plotted your elimination. You've had to deal with him ever since, and we did hear that the two of you had an rendez-vous. What is your perspective on this?"
She started grinning, and softly laughing, "Listen, Justin is a sexy mother fucker, and he knows it. He would flex those abs, protrude those biceps and pecs, and clap his ass better than all of the women. He would give us some tantalizing striptease dancing on the island, and it got me hot. Justin and I would get to know one another during "Action", and he liked that I flirted with him, but he lowkey flirted with me too. I never wanted to date him or anything, just... give him a little ride and have him pound my good good. Justin plotting against me in the merge was whatever, but I knew he felt like he lost Lindsay and Beth, and thought that I took them from him. Justin actually went out of his way to flirt with me while I was on the Drama Brother tour bus, and Harold was dating Beth at the time. Him and I had an understanding, I was tipsy, and he was so oiled up, so we had sex. It was a good time, but it became too much drama. Justin eventually went to school after the show, and he started... becoming more intellectual, so our conversations became a lot better, he was starting to see things from another perspective, and he's a really good person."
Josh gave her two pictures, "What were your experiences with Katie and Sadie? I know they were barely on their only season, and you made it far in your first two seasons, but you must have had interactions with them after your early boot in "World Tour", and other TD events."
"Yes I did. Katie and I did bond over being people of color during her short time on the island, and we had discussions after I was booted from "Action". I also bonded with Sadie during that time about the two of us being the "bigger" girls. When I was on the Drama Brothers tour with them after the second season, we had a good time, and they were soaking in ALL the drama. They had to stop Harold and I from getting into a HUGE blowout, and Beth and I from getting into a bad argument due to the mess that was happening. When Lindsay and Beth were pissed at me, they helped clear the air. We had A LOT of fun once I was booted from "World Tour". Both of them are such strong women, and I respect how they kept their friendship intact for almost 3 decades now. They have helped me improve the production on some of my videos, podcasts, etc. I wished they got another chance on the show."
"Alright. You and Lindsay have similar trajectories on the show. You both made the merge in your first two seasons, and were booted around the same time. And then you were on Team Victory together, where you both had consecutive early boots. What so you think of her overall?"
Leshawna looked at her picture, with a relatively cold expression, "Imma keep it real; 100 percent. I had very little respect for her on "Total Drama Island". I didn't get why she was following Heather through the entire season, and I didn't like how she threw Beth under the bus several times. While she is dumb, she isn't as dumb as she wants people to think. That was something Courtney and I discussed from very early on. She would help Heather harass me several times through the season, and what I HATE is a bird who has no backbone. She was told everything she needed to know about Heather, but ignored it. I think Heather looked like a bunch of her other friends back home, so that's what she clung onto. When she did get booted, I did feel bad, and there were some great moments that we had, like in the fridge challenge, and her winning that shower for us Gophers."
Josh wanted to get to the good bits, "Anyways, how was it like competing with her over the next two seasons, especially when you would... spend more time with her boyfriend/not boyfriend, and then the mess of Team Victory?"
"Well, I did notice that her and Beth had some... tension, and I blamed Lindsay initially, just like I did in the first season, but as I spent more time with the both of them in season 2, I noticed that Beth is very... vindictive, so I started feeling bad for Lindsay. We would have sleepovers and makeup parties almost every night, and we would gossip like homegirls. It was really fun. We would prank Heather together, and it was mostly her idea as well. Lindsay was telling me that she wasn't sure about Tyler, and that they were a fling. She got REALLY MAD when I called her dumb to my cousin, and she held a huge grudge about it. I did feel bad about it, and I apologized to her PROFUSELY. She was mad about me making fun of Beth's boyfriend, though Lindsay was saying the same thing I was. I actually cried to them both after the merge, and they forgave me. We vented about our insecurities, and I was told more about Courtney's nasty ass lawsuit. Before all of that happened, we organized a shutdown of the show, which did cause things to slow down for a bit."
"Get to the good parts. Why did you feel like it was okay for you to sleep with Tyler?" Josh rolled his eyes in impatience.
Leshawna started getting nervously tense, "She... didn't like it, and neither him or I planned it. We were doing all of these shows together, we relied on one another for comfort, and we both got horny. Things kind of just happened. Lindsay was flirting with Justin in "Action", and was even mad that Beth was getting more play, so I thought she didn't care, and she herself said that she thought Tyler was a fling. I should have known better, since Harold and I weren't dating, but I felt a way when he would sleep with Beth and... that other bitch. We got into a HUGE phone argument, with Harold and Tyler joining, since she was there with the Drama Brothers, and it was a MESS chile. Apparently, she told Beth and Harold to date, so I definitely felt a way. Team Victory was... A MESS. Neither one of us got to speak to one another since the phone argument, and being put on a team that was rigged to lose, was definitely stressful. We both snapped on one another A LOT through the first few episodes. "Girl talk" in the Yukon challenge was us clearing the air about ALL the drama that happened between the two of us, especially with the Tyler mess. We argued for HOURS, and they didn't show any of it, but we did make up, and ended up crying at the end of the challenge. We should have paid attention to DJ though. That lead up to her telling me first about Tyler "returning", and I was genuinely happy for the both of them. Of course she followed me to the Aftermath hotel, we had girl time together, like we did in "Action", and we even went on double dates with our boos once Tyler joined. Lindsay is someone I've kept in touch with, but I don't see her ALL THE TIME, like I do Bridgette or Gwen. You feel me?"
Josh had a lost look on his face, as he looked at the next picture, before handing it to her, "I don't... remember you interacting with Noah AT ALL. What was your experience with him like?"
She took the picture, and started laughing, "Noah wasn't SHIT in the first season. For him to be the first boot from our team over Heather. He was really lazy, and just complained a lot. I don't remember interacting with him at all, though when he snapped in the TDA special, I was shocked, but kind of impressed. We didn't talk much in the third season, but he DID drop A LOT of tea about Alejandro to all of us when he was booted, and it lead to... some people investigating him. He was the main person who told all of us about his brother, about Alejandro bleaching, getting his eye color changed, and all of this gross stuff, while saying he was bashing all of our families, making racist, sexist comments, so on and so forth. I truly believe Alejandro was the start of the downfall of the show, and Noah told all of us that as well. He would say it while we were all in the show, but none of us believed him until it was too late."
"I get the feeling that a lot of you feel like Al was the start of the downfall of the show, though the audience doesn't agree with that" Josh pondered, before handing her the next picture. "You and Owen were on the Screaming Gophers together, and competed in the first 3 seasons together, but I don't remember any notable interactions between the two of you. What are your thoughts?"
Her eyes widened as she was given Owen's picture, "That man is NAS-TAY. He did have some fun moments, and was good for a party, but I did NOT get down with his foul antics. I remember losing my MIND on him during the cooking challenge after he ate most of the food. They didn't even show HALF of it. Owen would always check on everyone to make sure that they were okay, so I did appreciate him in some way. Seeing how he was treated in "Action" with his jaw made me feel really bad for him, and the show barely did anything about it. I did NOT like how he did Izzy, and I called both him and Owen on it when they arrived at the Aftermath set, but I don't like the lies Alejandro and Heather have spread about him over the years."
Josh took out Sierra's picture, and had a puzzled look on her face, "Sierra is next, but... I don't remember you interacting with her... AT ALL in your short time in the third season together. What do you think of her?"
She had a quizzical look on her face "Honestly, she never did anything to ME per-say. I remember her trying to get more tea on all of us during the special, and I didn't deal with her much on the third season. She and I had a POC talk, and it was very nice, but I quickly backed up on her due to the shit talking she was doing from Gwen, even back then. While Gwen and I had our issues, she's my girl, and I'll always have her back. When I had to meet her on Drama Brother tours, she caused some friction between Cody and Harold, which was not cool. I was trying to get her to become her own person and whatnot, but she just would not let it be. I told her to leave Gwen alone, or we will have problems, and then we had some tension. Sierra did go into an institution after "All-Stars", and I did support her by sending her gifts, and visiting her, since she will always be a Drama Brother girl. That is kind of a thing between a few of us."
He grinned as he moved onto the second-to-last person, "Okay, so now it's time to talk about Gwen's boyfriend-turned-ex-turned-boyfriend again Trent. Apparently the two of you were friends on the first season, though we never saw it. You then dropped the ball to get him booted, and then had to interact with him again due to him being groupmates with your boyfriend. What are your thoughts on Trent?"
Leshawna sighed before smiling, "I felt bad for him and his experience on the show. Trent was always very cool, very level-headed, and very talented. He would sing to all of the Gophers after every elimination, and even to some of the Bass members. A lot of the guys wanted to be like him, and a lot of the girls wanted to be with him. He was cute and all, but I wasn't going to do that to Gwen, and he's a bit too soft for me. Trent was always someone that I could vent to, whenever I was trying to curb my anger, he came to me for advice about Gwen, and he also told me about some of his anxiety, and other mental health issues that he has gone through, so I knew about it well-before "Action". Trent was literally the most normal male Gopher out there, so of course I we got along. I also knew that a lot of the guys didn't like him, specifically Duncan. With his elimination episode, he knew how Gwen felt about Heather, so he shouldn't have even entertained speaking to her, though it all turned out to be a lie. I did feel bad about his elimination for a while afterwards, and apologized to him several times, though I was targeting Heather. Watching him go down the drain in "Action" was very... frustrating."
"How did you feel about the Gwent drama? You didn't really comment on it while it took place on the show," the messy interviewer inquired.
"I think he let Duncan's hazing get to him, and a few days before the season started, we all got to go to the real world, and Gwent were the most popular couple, so all of the attention they received overwhelmed them both. I didn't like the digs he made against her, and it seemed like he was making improvements once I arrived to the Aftermaths, but the finale just showed that he didn't really learn anything. I was trying to be there for the both of them after being booted, and they were hanging out, but things changed after the finale. The Drama Brothers at the time was the best, and the worst thing that happened to him. It caused him to focus, and channel that energy into something AMAZING, but it also caused him to play victim, and spin the narrative that gave Gwen A LOT of strife, and he became... an asshole. When I was on the tour bus with the group, I was SHOCKED at how he acted, and it wasn't the Trent that I became friends with. Seeing that clip of him telling Justin to dump his girlfriend was foul, and stuff like that happened a lot on tour. He carried a lot of that... cruel, entitled behavior on the "World Tour" aftermaths."
Josh's eyes widened, as it caused him to be reminded him of something, "I did hear that you and him got into a REALLY BAD argument during this time, but I've never heard about it from either party yet."
She started to cringe from the old memory, "Yeah... There was a lot leading up to this. When I arrived, Harold was of course pissed at me, and I knew that Geoff and Trent were telling him to stay strong, where they apparently had this mentality when Bridgette was booted too. I got Geoff's perspective, but I DID NOT get Trent's, especially with his actions against Gwen, and how he acted in the Drama Brothers. I also knew that he plotted to take Harold's leadership from the group at the point, and it lead to their first breakup. After Harold and I made up, I talked to Trent about it, and he thought that I was being a hypocrite for being mad at him, and not Geoff. We cleared that up, and then I saw how he was treating Katie and Sadie. He was pitting them both against the other, and hooking up with each of them. I didn't think it was cool for him to meddle in, and to cause drama between two girls who have been friends since they were toddlers, and knowing the history of how they met. We both went back and forth, and EVERYTHING came out; even things that happened in "Island". He needed to get it off his chest, I needed to get it off my chest, and now that I think about it, the argument happened RIGHT AFTER we got a screening of the London episode. Trent was clearly in his feelings about Gwen hooking up with Duncan. We went back to betting on if Lindsay would remember Tyler and stuff. Speaking of Lindsay, something about her sleeping with Trent during the Drama Brothers tour came up."
"OOOHHHHH, JUICY. I always knew that they had a flirtation and an attraction for one another, even if you watch back the first season. How did you decide to meddle in Gwuncan, while involving Trent?"
"He told me around that time that he missed Gwen, knew he screwed up, and needed help with trying to get into speaking terms with her. I helped them break the barrier between them once she was eliminated, and they were getting along, but as soon as Duncan arrived, he DEMANDED that Gwen not speak to him. Trent was crying after this, and I promised him that I could make sure him and Gwen could get back together. It took about 2-3 years, and he had to be invited to a lot of the same places they were, but I kept my word. Trent has been a REALLY good friend since them. We've hung out a lot on the yacht, and during other TD events, while I've seen him a lot more since getting back together with Gwen. He has given me some great connections within the industry for me to promote my ventures, and to be given other opportunities."
Josh started to cackle, as he handed her the final picture, "So we know that you and Tyler did several shows together in between the second and third season, and there was a... rendez-vous that ended up happening over it. I always found this weird, since he didn't last long, and wasn't on your team during "Island", and he wasn't even on "Action", while you lasted a while on that season. Neither one of you had the time to get to know one another before these shows."
All she could do was laugh, partially in embarrassment, and partially in joy, "Listen, many of the girls agreed that Tyler was one of the better-looking guys on the first season. There was even a rumor of him and Bridgette having a thing before they hooked up with their partners. Plus, we all talked about his butt. I only agreed to do the first show with Tyler because Bridgette couldn't make it, and I signed on to do it on my own. We agreed to be partners, did well on the first show, and we kept at it. Tyler told me that his father was disappointed in him after his performance on the first season, so doing these other shows was his way of proving himself. I was doing the shows because I wanted to get my family and friends out of the projects, while also investing in the projects to give them better opportunities for human necessities. I started seeing a sweeter, gentlemanly side to him, and I saw why Lindsay fell in love with him. Harold was still on my mind at the time, but he was across North America thotting it up with his group, and Lindsay was with them, when she wasn't arrested in Paris."
"You better spill the tea on the sex you two had, and what lead up to it. How did all of it end?" Josh inquired, as he sipped dramatically from his cup, raising his eyebrows.
"You're such a messy queen Joshua. I was wearing my normal lingerie that I always wore, and Tyler LOVES him a curvaceous woman, so I saw him checking me out. He wasn't wearing a shirt, and I saw the glistening muscles, and the improved definition. We were also drinking, so shit just happened. All I will say is that Lindsay's a lucky woman. We continued it for some months, but then it caused A LOT of drama, and it wasn't worth it. And plus, Harold was who I was attached to EMOTIONALLY, and those ties never ended. When we started on "World Tour", him and I agreed to not speak to one another, or speak about the issues at hand, but I had to deal with it, since Harold and Lindsay were on MY team. I didn't even realize until speaking to you today that HE is the reason why Alejandro went after me. It might not have been intentional on his end, but he was telling Alejandro about our sex life while we were doing the shows, and it lead to that mess. I speak to him sometimes, but we aren't the closest. He is invited to my wedding though."
Josh stretched out his fingers, "Alright that sounds nice. So, you never got to compete with the "Revenge of the Island" and "Pahkitew Island" casts, but I am sure you met some of them during TD events and what not. What are your thoughts on them, or at least the ones you met?"
She started using her fingers, "Well Harold and Sam became very good friends, so I met him and Dakota a lot. I really like the both of them, and we were hardcore supporters of her when she was going through that transformation. Sam ripping on Al was fun in "All-Stars", but of course they rigged it for Mr. On My Knees For Producers. Let me stop being petty. They are friends with Bridgette and Geoff, so I see them a lot. They're very smart. I have met Dawn for the same reasons, and she's a great person. While it's somewhat weird to me, it's very cool to see how she is confident in herself, and how in tune with nature and the spirit she is. We met a bunch of the Revenge crew during the filming of "All-Stars", and I like how large and in charge Brick is. Justin started teaching him how to strip, and... he's got it going on. Some of his choice in friends and women are... weird. Anne Maria is my GIRL. She reminded me of me when I saw her, and she knows how to throw a good party. I'm probably the closest to her. I've met Mike through Gwen, and he's pretty cool, though I was hesitant, based on what I heard about him. Lightning I met, and he's a mixed bag. I do think he's funny, and I like how he's so strong, but he can get a bit arrogant and annoying at times. Cameron was an interesting person to speak to, and I like the friendship I've built with him. The funny thing with Zoey is, Gwen called me after Season 5, and told me to help her get Anne Maria and Zoey to make up, so that was... a process. I've become close to Zoey from that as well."
"So, what about the third generation cast?"
"Well... I didn't speak to them for about... a year or so. By that point, I was over Total Drama by that point, and all of the meet and greets. I didn't meet with most of them until Bridgette recruited most of us to Australia when the spinoff was filming, and I met a lot of them there. Jasmine was cool, and we had some GREAT conversations. It was nice to have another black woman go on the show, and to talk about our experiences with the other campers, and the producers. She's a very sweet, sincere woman who I have kept in touch with. I do like Sky, but she's TOO DAMN ATHLETIC for my liking. While I was in Australia, she wanted us to wake up at 5 AM to go on these obnoxious runs, but she did have a good spirit. Ella is just too much for me, and while Samantha is nice, I didn't care for her drama with Amy. I had to smack that bitch down, as she tried to come for me. Shawn is nice from when I have seen him over the years, Topher was introduced to me through Justin, and I don't remember anyone else."
Josh sighed, before he went to hand her the picture of her romantic interest, "Last, but certainly not least is H-Bomb McGrady. When you first met him, you both almost got into a fist fight, and are now about to get married over a decade later. Take us through the journey."
"Chile, chile, chile," Leshawna cackled, "Don't get me started. I DID want to slap the hell out of Harold. He had the nerve to call me big and loud when he FIRST SAW ME, and you can tell it wasn't a compliment. And then he had the nerve to say that he "never saw someone that looked like me before". What the HELL does that mean? I was over his ass, but I wasn't shocked that he tried to apologize to me in the sleeping challenge, which they didn't show. I explained it to him why it was offensive, like how Gwen explained to me how my "white girl talk" was offensive too, but I told him that I was going to crush him, and make him cry for everything, since I WILL beat him in the competitions. The letters started coming, and I didn't realize it was him, but having a secret admirer took me out of the game, and it kind of turned me on, so I started entertaining the letters, and writing back as well. They were so... erotic. While I didn't know it was Harold who was writing the letters at the time, I did see his... man piece when the other guys put him outside, and I was impressed."
"So you liked his dick. When he revealed that he was your anonymous note writer, you rushed to kiss him, but seemed like you regretted by the time the season ended. Why did you switch like that?"
She started patting her fingers on the table, "Well, we did have fun during the 2-ish weeks we were at Playa together. He romanced me, I romanced him, and we got to have those nice conversations, but they were in person, and not in letters. At the same time, the back of my head was thinking about how things would work in real life, and once things got closer, I got more nervous, panicked, and realized that this was a fling, and a summer sensation. If I knew that there was going to be a Season 2 right after this, I... I don't see myself breaking things off with him. The announcement of "Action", and us filming it RIGHT AWAY confused things." She went blank for a few seconds, before continuing, "It was... so challenging. Not only were we romantic with one another, but we were COMPETING together after getting to know one another, and we were on the SAME TEAM. I tried to keep things platonic and to keep us just as friends, but Harold... Harold is a TRIP."
Josh tried to hold back his disgust, "You started undressing him with your eyes, and he started whispering sweet nothings about your booty, and... you two slept together. When it came to the "Leshawna is fake" thing, it didn't make it on television, but many people being interviewed thus far said that they felt that way because you and Harold were sleeping with one another, but once you both got on camera when you knew stuff would be aired, you would act like you had no interest in him."
"My thing is, why do they care about how Harold and I act around one another, when we are not doing anything? Harold and I were NOT in a relationship with one another, but I was spending more time with him, and there were lingering feelings. He was supporting me when my hair was being made fun of, and when EVERYONE clowned my dancing. He was the only person I could 100 percent trust on the Gaffers. I have to thank Gwen because after she hit Harold, it caused me to realize that I really liked him. What they DIDN'T show with my cousin was that she told me EVERYTHING my family thought about the show, and everyone on the show. "TDI" was still airing, and there were spoilers about Harold and I getting together. I was still fed up from what happened during the competition at that time, so what was said... was said. I love Harold, but HE'S ANNOYING AS SHIT SOMETIMES, so I was unimpressed and irritated at times. So when Duncan was picking at him, and later Courtney, it pissed me THE HELL off. I did not like seeing him sad, so I took care him him, nurtured him, and he did the same to me. We were one another's comfort, so we did cuddle one another."
"So what happened that caused him to vote you out? Were you mad at him?"
The obvious strain in her face became apparent, though it would subside a bit, "I knew something was off, but I have to go back to the Bank Heist challenge. I was... broken when he went with Duncan and Heather to leave me in that cage. I was in there for OVER 24 HOURS, I did not speak to him for a good 24 hours afterwards, but he broke down crying, and I was warming up to him. The caveman episode, with him wearing that sexy loincloth did me in, and we... were like how we were at Playa Des Losers. We were a couple, and it felt nice. I knew he was still mad at me about the cassette thing, even after booting Heather. Harold is very transparent, so when he isn't feeling you, or has doubts, it's very obvious. From the merge onwards, he wasn't speaking to me much, so I wasn't shocked when I was voted out, and I was honestly relieved to be out of there. When he was booted, he wanted me to commit to being in a relationship with him after everything finished, and I couldn't give him what he wanted at the time. We remained friends, but we were not messing with one another romantically. I was invited to go on tour with them, and I heard that him and BETH were dating already, which pissed me off. I was always attracted to Justin, so while he flirted with me, I flirted with him back, and... we hooked up."
Josh was confused, "Hold up, hold up, hold up. So the Justin/Beth/You/Harold stuff happened BEFORE the Tyler stuff? I always thought it was after, and the interviews beforehand never cleared it up."
"Yes, it happened beforehand. Tyler and I happened some shows after the first one, and THAT was what drew the line with Harold and I. By that point, he was in a relationship with Beth, and I was hearing rumors that him and Trent ran a train on Lindsay, so I was like, okay. I didn't care about that rumor, but when I heard about him and Heather? I WAS DONE! I deleted his number, blocked him on social media, and everyone was freaking out as to why. I cursed him out before doing all of that. Out of all the bitches, you chose HER? We were both annoyed with one another by the time of "World Tour", but of course we agreed to have one another's backs. That was why I shoved him away during the last confessional of the special, before leaving for the third season. We agreed to not hook up, and to focus on the game, and rebuilding our friendship, and dealing with the producers trying to get rid of us. Somewhere during that short time, we talked about potentially giving it a run after the season ended, so when he quit, I thought it was dumb, but I did miss him. Alejandro worked on me, and I remembered what Harold was telling me, but it was weird being there without him. I knew I was screwing up by flirting with Alejandro, so when I was booted, I knew my ass was... in trouble. He didn't speak to me for like 3 days, and I had to GO ON MY KNEES AND CRY to him. Leshawna doesn't cry. After those few days, he forgave me, and I learned about ALL the dirty stuff Alejandro did to him and Bridgette, so that pissed me off even more. We started actually... dating, and getting to know one another as two people who are interested in a relationship. We got to spend time together like normal people who were normally courting one another. By the end of the season, we agreed to date one another."
Josh wanted to get to the more unknown part of their relationship, "So, how was it like actually dating Harold? I mean, you both were done with the show by that point in time, so we never got to see how it evolved, or devolved. Harold hinted that there was a breakup somewhere along the line, but it clearly did not last."
"We dated, and things were amazing. They asked me to be in the video for "Baby", he started spending time at my house, I started spending time at his house, I started owning production companies, and he got me into singing jingles for commercials and all of that. When he met my family, they got into it because they made their jokes, and Harold isn't a punk, so he stood up for himself. His family were also not the most fond of me either, so there was A LOT of tension. His Drama Brother fans got REALLY mad, and the people who liked me got mad at us dating. It caused us a lot of stress for a year or two, and then we both mutually agreed to break up."
"So how does this lead to a ring? Wait... Harold said that he was GETTING you a ring, but you're already engaged. What is with that?"
All she could do was laugh, "Well, he GAVE me a ring since the time of his interview with you, but we were already engaged. It's a really long story, but we didn't want people in our business, so he didn't get me a ring initially. We got back together again after like a month or two, and we started doing a lot of those fitness shows and videos together, which made us A LOT of money. We both started creating our own lanes financially, and have a few houses all over Canada, so when we have our space, we get it."
Wanting to wrap this up, Josh got things ready, and asked, "What have you been up to since the show?"
"Well, I did a few more reality tv shows after "World Tour" to get some extra money, but I realized that the real money was in production. I also went through an eating disorder after the show. We tried suing Chris, and we were given a gag order, so that, and everything that happened on the show took a toll on me, and I was trying to get more casting calls, but I was "too thick in the wrong places". I was getting stressed, and became a lot more paranoid, so I wouldn't eat for hours at a time, and would sometimes only eat once a day. I had to go to rehab about 5 years ago, and I was in there for about a year. After that, I stopped fucking with the reality shows, and I wanted to do something positive with my life. I went to school to get an Urban Planning degree, and I am really looking forward to helping underprivileged areas, while not amalgamating or gentrifying them. Getting a podcast, and doing hostings are more my speed, since I get to share my opinions, while helping other people and showing their talents, while not putting myself through huge stressors. Being on the show taught me how to interact with many different types of people, being open about your strengths and insecurities. I've also had to learn how to hustle, grind, and to cease the day/moment. I had to learn the HARD way that not everything deserves a reaction, or is worth beating someone up. I'm doing well."
