3
so much for having me i'm
4
so happy you're here thank you i'm very happy to be here
5
i have been really looking forward to this conversation obviously
6
you are like one of the biggest movie stars of course of course go on just so well established and an Oscar.
7
And then I feel like you really became known for just not being afraid to say what you're thinking.
8
I do feel like you're the type of person when people meet you,
9
they kind of already feel like they know you and like you're their best friend.
10
Yes.
11
Do you feel like people overshare when they meet you?
12
No, nobody ever overshares more than me.
13
Me two seconds ago before the camera started rolling, be like, all right, so the cramps in my crotch, what am I doing?
14
Again, I brought that up.
15
Okay, fair, fair.
16
That was for me.
17
Okay, but you don't think randoms overshare with you too much?
18
No, and I don't think I would notice.
19
I'm just so confused about boundaries.
20
Okay, perfect.
21
Yeah, I don't think it would even cross my mind.
22
That'll make for good podcasting today, hopefully.
23
It will.
24
Do you feel like you've ever had a really weird interaction with maybe a fan in the wild who thinks,
25
oh, you're my girl, let me just hang with you for a second?
26
Or do they have boundaries?
27
Nobody in New York wants to be the dork that's like, oh my God, I'm a huge fan.
28
You know, so everybody's just like, I was like coming out of a movie
29
and was stuck on a very slow escalator in front of a girl
30
that was like asking to take a picture with me.
31
But I just got a peel.
32
I actually got a peel too close to this.
33
I don't know if you can see the bumps.
34
You look gorgeous.
35
Thank you.
36
And so that was just uncomfortable because I was like, no. And then we were just stuck together.
37
And then you start oversharing.
38
You're like, because of the peel.
39
Yeah.
40
Yeah.
41
I got a peel on my pussy.
42
He's like, I literally hate you in a lot of hair anymore.
43
I never asked you for that information.
44
Yeah, yeah.
45
I can't believe I ever.
46
Do people usually call you Jen or J -Law?
47
Imagine if I had people in my life that call me J -Law.
48
My best friends all call me J -Law.
49
And if somebody accidentally calls me Jen, I'm like, what?
50
Hold on.
51
It's J -Law to you.
52
I should refer to you as Jen, though, right?
53
Yes.
54
Yeah.
55
Miss Dr. Lawrence.
56
Yes, you can refer to me as Jen.
57
Yeah, I like the J -Law thing.
58
It's cool.
59
I hope J -Lo is not mad.
60
No, yeah.
61
Like, have you ever been in a room with her and it's been like, oh, we're both.
62
Tense.
63
Yeah.
64
Sure.
65
Why not?
66
Yes.
67
Let's stir the room.
68
And we caught in a huge fight and I took her out.
69
No, I could see that because I was like, I'm saying J -Law.
70
And then like my husband earlier was like, J -Lo?
71
And I'm like, J -Law.
72
Yeah.
73
But it's like a good person to get mixed up with.
74
Totally.
75
Yeah, I'm not bad.
76
I know she might be, but I'm not.
77
Your hair looks gorgeous today.
78
Thank you.
79
And I just wanted to congratulate you on that because you are adding a new business to your resume.
80
I am.
81
You are coming out with a new hair care brand called Mess.
82
Uh -huh.
83
Where did the name come from?
84
It was the first name that I ever, like, kind of came to the table with and was just like,
85
I want to have a hair company called Mask.
86
Like, it feels true for me, not to brag.
87
And so when I finally started working with Arkea, we started, like, you know, getting into the nitty gritty.
88
It was just kind of like, well, it's obviously not going to be called Mask.
89
And, like, so we went through and I was like, okay, like, we went through thousands of names,
90
like a big company and everything and then between copywriting
91
and you know 86ing certain names
92
that we didn't like we did land right back at mess
93
this is kind of validating
94
you're like my idea was right all along are you actually freezing
95
i'm not as cold as i am scared are you nervous um no
96
i'm not nervous of the interview i just i can feel your pregnant energy
97
and i'm like wait what is pregnant energy um
98
quick wait i feel so slow i feel like i'm really quick because i want to keep up with you Oh, wow.
99
Should we slow it down?
100
Sure.
101
My pregnancy brain is just like, I feel like when I'm doing an interview, I've got to be quick because like I'm now,
102
I got to lock in.
103
Because if I lock out for one second, I'm going to be gone.
104
I'm going to be gone.
105
Well, you know what?
106
I have postpartum brain.
107
So of course I think you're fast because I'm like, what?
108
So let us just say disclaimer today.
109
If we say anything so stupid out of pocket, something like we got us canceled, it's not our fault.
110
No. It's literally our husbands.
111
Like, scientifically, literally.
112
We're perfect.
113
Yes, we are.
114
Speaking of mess, I'm going to give you a messy scenario.
115
Because like you said, your life, you're a little messy.
116
And you also have, like, good takes.
117
So I want to give you a scenario, and you're going to tell me how you would handle it.
118
Oh, okay.
119
Okay, here we go.
120
A friend starts seeing a guy, and she is head over heels for him.
121
So in love.
122
Obsessed.
123
Can't stop talking about him.
124
But you've kind of like noticed a couple weird things like example.
125
he's constantly paying for dinner.
126
He's so generous, but no one has any fucking idea what he does for work.
127
Oh, I hate that.
128
Are you going to bring this up to her or are you just going to let her live in her happiness?
129
I wouldn't bring it up to her unless she asked.
130
And asked in a real way because there was obviously asking in the not real way.
131
You know, in a group, as a joke or whatever.
132
But if she was like, what do you think?
133
And do you think this is weird?
134
Then I would be like, I don't know do you think it's weird yeah i think
135
it's super weird right like first put it back on her to temp check
136
but most i think that's a good point it's never at the brunch
137
it's never with all the friends where she's like what do you think about garrett and
138
if you're the idiot that's going to be like honestly
139
it really susses me out it's like no no no she's actually asking
140
you to tell her how much you like garrett like yeah you read the room it is always
141
so although i guess it's getting harder with like AI
142
and this new I feel
143
so old now with like all of the you know changes um that like
144
if somebody can't tell you what they do you know in like under 60 seconds it's a red flag
145
but now I'm like is it like right it's kind of like what we're living today it's like I'm a computer
146
and I'm just like okay
147
and then we believe them of course what am I gonna do you feel dumb
148
that you don't know yeah I can't drop a pin so of course you're a computer neither can I that
149
That actually is actually really confusing.
150
What is the worst red flag that you've ever looked in your past?
151
Overlooked.
152
Overlooked.
153
Oh, wow.
154
A guy that I was obsessed with was gay and told me he was gay.
155
Oh, and you were like.
156
And I was like, no, you're not.
157
You're gay right now.
158
Just give me a chance.
159
Okay, that's good.
160
So you didn't end up together, obviously.
161
No, we did.
162
Okay.
163
That's my husband.
164
I'm just kidding.
165
I was in eight years.
166
Yeah, that'd be great.
167
Okay, good to know.
168
Okay.
169
Is it okay to tell a white lie to get out of dinner with a friend
170
if you are just too tired to go?
171
I mean, if a white lie to get out of dinner is wrong, then I don't want to be right.
172
I have, my husband has for years, it like baffles him.
173
Like if he wants to get out of something, he just says like, hey, can't tonight, you know, goodbye.
174
I can't even like.
175
He's direct.
176
And I'm just like, I broke my foot on a piece of glass.
177
We're rushing to the hospital.
178
There's a tornado in the city for the first time in decades.
179
Like, it's just always so long and dramatic because I need to make it believable.
180
But now I've gotten into a new place in my life where I just don't make plans.
181
I just say no to absolutely everything.
182
And I haven't seen anyone in my life for years.
183
Like, why do we do that?
184
My husband has the same thing where he's like, yo, man, like been a really crazy week.
185
Like, can't make it.
186
Like, I want to just stay in with the wife tonight.
187
And I'm literally like, how did you do that?
188
Yeah.
189
Like, are they so mad?
190
Which is weird because, like, it's normally something is, like, a projection.
191
But, like, I never get mad if somebody cancels on me.
192
I obviously love when people cancel.
193
Elated.
194
So I don't know what, like, I picture the person on the phone just being like, what?
195
Right.
196
You know?
197
How could you?
198
I mean, I love when people cancel.
199
I'm like, oh, perfect.
200
There's nothing better than a cancel plan.
201
If you and your husband are, you know, you got a night without the kids, what are you doing?
202
Sitting in silence on our phones.
203
I hope.
204
You know what's so beautiful about that answer is that it's so real.
205
And I've seen like celebrity couples like out at lunch or something and they'll be both on their phones.
206
And like you see the comments of people being like, wow, they like hate each other.
207
I'm like, that's what you do with your boyfriend at your date.
208
Like what?
209
Right.
210
No, no. What are we going to talk about?
211
How was your day?
212
I know exactly how your day was.
213
I know exactly what happened.
214
Yeah.
215
And don't you dare ask how mine was, because have you not been paying attention?
216
It's actually true.
217
Okay.
218
Your friend has been working on a script as a passion project and sends it to you for feedback.
219
You read it, and it is just god -awful terrible.
220
What do you say?
221
I mean, God, that's tough.
222
I mean, I think I think
223
if I'm not in a position where like I have to make it or something and it doesn't, it's not, it's no skin off my back,
224
then I think I would just be like, it's amazing.
225
I love it.
226
This is groundbreaking material.
227
Yeah, but if it was like I had to produce it or something, I would be like, Justine hated it.
228
I loved it, Justine hated it.
229
Justine's watching this literally like, yeah, that's my life.
230
Yeah, yeah, always blame someone else.
231
You don't need to take the brunt of that.
232
I wonder how many people in my professional life are going to watch this and be like, oh, my God.
233
Justine's always hated it.
234
Justine hated my work, too.
235
It's always you.
236
What is the most brutal piece of acting feedback you have ever gotten in your career?
237
My mom at the premiere of The Hunger Games said she could tell in every scene when I had my period.
238
water retention, I guess.
239
Imagine a day of me being on camera that that doesn't go through my mind.
240
You now, like, will never film when you're on your period.
241
You're like, I'm so scarred.
242
Don't put me on camera.
243
Yeah.
244
Oh, well, yeah, that's it.
245
I'm like, well, I'll only be able to film for about 20 days.
246
She's also, like, the most supportive in the bed and, like, the person I'm so excited to tell exciting news to.
247
I don't know if, I think all moms do this, where you're like, guess what?
248
And they just say the most, like, the craziest, it like it will never live up to it you know
249
i'm like guess what she's like oh my god
250
you wrote a movie you're winning an oscar for best writer director
251
and you're acting in it and just won an oscar for
252
that i'm like no no but but i love
253
that you love me yeah um that's what i was thinking about
254
when you were coming here i'm like i know some of your story
255
but like i feel like maybe some people don't
256
and you kind of have an interesting way
257
that you got into this industry so you were discovered on the street
258
when you were only 14 years old in New York City with your mother,
259
which is like such a flex to get like recognized in the street.
260
They're like, this one, this one's going to make it, which is great. So pretty.
261
They just were like, she is so stunning, gorgeous, incredible.
262
I walked on the street and everybody was like, oh my God.
263
They're like passing out.
264
Like this is the most stunning woman I've ever seen in my life.
265
So they do that.
266
Yeah.
267
And then Can your parents let you move to New York City with your brother to pursue this career to some capacity?
268
I accept this abridged version.
269
I need you to turn the AC down, please.
270
I'm going to die.
271
No, no, no. Turn it down.
272
I'm okay.
273
I'm like, my nose is running.
274
I'm getting sick.
275
My throat hurts.
276
You're going to leave here and be literally sniffling so sick.
277
I will send you my doctor bell.
278
You know what's so crazy?
279
I feel so great.
280
I know.
281
I was pregnant.
282
I was like in my third trimester in the winter of New York.
283
And I was just flying down the FDR with all of the windows down. So hot.
284
Because when you're pregnant in the winter, the heat is on everywhere.
285
And so I couldn't go to restaurants because I was just like, it's going to be 100 degrees in the restaurant.
286
And push it towards me if you can.
287
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
288
Like, perfect.
289
Yeah.
290
If not, I'll get you a blanket.
291
Okay.
292
So we're in New York City.
293
You're a model, basically.
294
You're stunning, gorgeous is you're from Kentucky.
295
So when you go back to Kentucky before you move to New York and you tell all of your friends,
296
like, I'm moving to New York City to pursue this, were all of your friends like, oh, that's so classic, Jen?
297
Or were they like, what do you mean you're doing this?
298
Well, they all thought I was lying because I was a prolific liar.
299
Oh, you're kind of like pathological liar, huh?
300
You're kind of like...
301
Not anymore.
302
Nothing.
303
You say this entire interview.
304
It's honest.
305
I'm actually from Arizona.
306
um no i don't lie in interviews
307
because i just assume everybody can like look something up
308
and like there's nothing more embarrassing than getting caught in a lie like let me tell you in elementary school
309
i told everyone i had a wooden leg and
310
when they found out i didn't did you not wear skirts or shorts ever no wait that feels like a lie
311
keep going with that people thought you i'm like no i didn't wear skirts
312
because i went to a religious school where it just keeps going.
313
So you said that you had a wooden leg.
314
So that kind of paints the picture.
315
I was going to say, like, what were you like as a teenager?
316
Well, me as a teenager, it was a little more complicated because I was completely unsocialized, as anybody who's seen me in an interview can see.
317
But like, I left Kentucky, left school when I was 14 and worked and homeschooled.
318
I mean, I don't really homeschool, but so I wasn't around kids.
319
I was a little weird.
320
So and were you comfortable with adults or you were just like not comfortable with anyone?
321
I'm sure I was comfortable with adults, but I mean, I don't think adults were like, wow, what a cool, what a great hang.
322
And I definitely don't think anybody was like, she's mature.
323
Okay, that's fair.
324
So as someone who didn't grow up, though, like you didn't want to be an actress at like six years old.
325
You weren't like this.
326
I'm made for the movies.
327
No, it was never something that like really crossed my mind.
328
I just I just wouldn't have thought that it was a possibility.
329
Looking back in retrospect, we can see signs like I would like
330
walk out the door and like ring the doorbell as like different characters, like asking to use the phone.
331
And like, you know, we can look back through like photo albums and be like, ah, an actor.
332
Yes.
333
What did you want to be growing up?
334
I thought I was going to be a doctor, an interior designer.
335
I have no gift towards that at all.
336
These are just like jobs I knew about.
337
Range.
338
That's good.
339
A doctor.
340
That also can decorate your house.
341
Okay.
342
So you end up becoming an actress, obviously.
343
And I today kind of wanted to go down memory lane now that you're getting warmed up physically and verbally.
344

373
Okay.
374
Hunger Games.
375
Okay.
376
You're 20 years old when you get Katniss.
377
I need to know what you remember about going in for reading this audition.
378
Oh, God.
379
skinny jeans.
380
I remember stopping to buy candy before and eating it in the parking lot.
381
And then it was at the director Gary Ross's house and his office above the garage.
382
And he cried in my audition.
383
So I was like, that seems like a good sign.
384
Did you think you got the part?
385
You're like, just good signs um no i don't think i thought it yeah especially
386
because you're so you're so um what's
387
that word i don't have word suspicious yeah yeah like superstitious about like yeah
388
you're like i don't want to jinx anything yeah
389
and did they film it like have you ever re -watched your audition tape they did film it
390
but please don't really i don't ever want to see one of those oh my god ever but
391
if it made people cry like jen this is good like i don't care
392
i don't know what i was wearing i know it wasn't good you don't want to go back to
393
that you don't really live the glory
394
No. And like, why did I like stop my car and eat a bag of candy?
395
Well, it clearly worked.
396
Yeah.
397
Obviously, The Hunger Games did have a massive fan base because of the books.
398
Like, were you at all nervous once you got cast?
399
Because fans are very intense about book series and it's a lot to live up to.
400
That's not what made me nervous because I don't think I like knew about that.
401
Yeah.
402
What made me nervous was just the way I was afraid that it could negatively affect my acting career.
403
I was like, and just like my, my personal life.
404
Cause like the one thing that I was always sure of when I was younger, it was like, I want to be a mom.
405
Um, and I was just like, this just looks so different than like, you know, doing some indies and like doing a film here.
406
Like this is huge.
407
Like, cause twilight had like just come out and everybody saw what that was.
408
And so it was really just more like, how is this going to change my life and my acting career?
409
And then it did forever.
410
And then, but as we've established from 14, I just kind of do things.
411
I just keep.
412
You're like, it's fine.
413
Everything's going to be fine.
414
I'll figure it out when I get there.
415
Do you remember your first day on set with the entire cast?
416
Yeah, I remember day one.
417
Yes.
418
Day one.
419
Because we were doing like the reaping stuff.
420
Not I volunteer, but like that set.
421
and prim stuff at the house.
422
Oh, my God.
423
And I remember I was doing a scene where I was like in a wash basin
424
and like a very old house in North Carolina.
425
It was like a historical house.
426
And I saw a fly and I punched it through a window and shattered the window.
427
And everyone was like, why did you do that?
428
I do remember that from my first day.
429
Sorry, but what was the question? the vibe well i don't know
430
but why did you why did you do that it's just like something moved me
431
okay so did you and did you feel like very confident on that set yes
432
Why do you think that is?
433
Because that's like your big first, first job.
434
And like you said, like you were aware of how big it was going to be.
435
Like, where do you think you...
436
I think because I had made the decision, you know, so I had taken the time.
437
I thought about it before I said yes.
438
I asked them to give me a few days, you know, and I thought about it.
439
And then I had months to, you know, prepare.
440
And it was a lot of like physical preparation and stunt training and, you know, a lot of archery and stuff.
441
So by the time I got there, I, you know, I was like.
442
You were ready.
443
Yeah.
444
I do remember, like, obviously how intensive it was.
445
You're like, I'm actually doing physical activities during this.
446
Do you remember what was one of the craziest scenes where you're like, I can't believe I'm doing this as an actress right now?
447
Yeah.
448
There was a scene where I'm running down a mountain and there are, like, fireballs being, like, fired at me.
449
And none of it was CGI.
450
Like, I mean, I guess the but like the everything really was exploding and catching on fire.
451
And you couldn't if you strayed away from your trail, which is not clear because if they,
452
you know, put red tape or something, you'll see it.
453
So you just kind of have a general idea of like where to go.
454
And like, if you're wrong, you will blow up.
455
I feel like I love this job so much.
456
This is so fun.
457
Yeah.
458
I'm like, thank you.
459
Okay, next.
460
catching fire you and josh me and josh
461
that is my baby i don't know if this is controversial to say
462
but like i was kind of like team gail totally
463
now now we could settle the debate here were you team pita or were you team gail um i was team gail
464
even after he killed my sister still writing for him yeah do you think
465
that that will cause controversy on the internet i can't say
466
because i said that i was team jeremiah during the summer i turned pretty
467
and the level of hate
468
that i got was bigger than any controversy i've ever been involved in in my life talk to me about
469
that i don't i it literally was like i feel like i was just like rage baiting like slightly
470
because like I did it with my friends.
471
It was just like, I like Jeremiah, you know, and they'd be like, ah, I thought it was innocent.
472
It was people were like, you should die.
473
You should die.
474
And it is wild to insert yourself in that, especially who you are.
475
Oh, so you agree with them?
476
No, I'm shocked that like I do like that you just like sling it and you're like,
477
oh, I'm just going to tell you what I think.
478
But it's definitely the take that's not...
479
I guess my response to you...
480
Yeah, give me the rebuttal.
481
Thank you so much for your feedback.
482
I guess my response to your feedback would be, how on earth would I have assumed that such a thing would cause such...
483
I've been involved in a lot.
484
And I've pissed off the public many, many times.
485
I'm old.
486
I've been famous for decades.
487
It never occurred to me that that would be the number one where people were just like, I wish you have never been born.
488
It's similar to if you were someone who got involved in Love Island drama.
489
Your Rob Ross showing view was award -winning journalism.
490
When he showed up in his overalls, I knew we had gold on our hands.
491
Yes.
492
Yes.
493
It was something for culture.
494
You were perfect.
495
You are perfect.
496
Thank you.
497
Okay, I obviously know famously, Liam Hemsworth claimed that you would eat tuna and garlic before kissing him.
498
Why?
499
Why did you do that?
500
I didn't.
501
Like, he's just, I think that like, I don't even know what to say, Liam.
502
We are filming for many months and filming takes a lot of time.
503
He made it seem like that's just like something I did, like on purpose.
504
Like, I would just like, I would eat.
505
Tuna.
506
Tuna, what have you.
507
Do you like tuna?
508
I do.
509
I do too.
510
Tuna salad, tuna melt.
511
But it's really controversial.
512
Why?
513
You're going to get canceled again.
514
Really?
515
Why is it controversial?
516
Oh, I feel like every time I tell people I like tuna, like, okay, don't you, come on,
517
don't you kind of feel like when you're at a restaurant or you're with people,
518
and of course it's like your husband because he knows like whatever, but if you're with like people that maybe don't know you and you're like,
519
I'll have the tuna, whatever, there's a little side eye.
520
People kind of look at you like, you're getting the tuna.
521
I think people like think it's kind of nasty.
522
Oh, I'm sure it is.
523
I need food to taste processed, you know?
524
You're going to muddy up
525
that tuna with a bunch of relish mayo zest crackers sorry go on okay you
526
and josh are going to be in the new movie what
527
was it like to go back to oh my unbelievable it was so crazy
528
because it was it was the same crew
529
it was the same camera guys the same ad who i've worked with a million times too
530
because I love him um and Josh and Woody and like it was so emotional it was like
531
Josh and I like didn't walk to the bathroom without our arms around each other like we it was
532
so beautiful that's really cute I'm excited
533
and Woody obviously came through the window of my hotel room uninvited
534
because it would not be the same it wouldn't be the same if he listened to boundaries and used a door.
535
Obviously not.
536
I'm going to show you this next one.
537
It's one of my all -time favorites.
538
That's Silver Linings Playbook.
539
Did you have any idea when you were filming
540
that movie during the process of it how big it was going to get?
541
No, of course not.
542
I mean, you never really do unless you're making like
543
The Hunger Games or whatever.
544
But no, no. And I felt the whole time like I don't get it.
545
Like, what is this movie about?
546
I don't get it.
547
Yeah, I guess you kind of like leaned into that though with your character, right?
548
You just like you went into you're like, honestly, whatever you took from that.
549
Yeah.
550
So at the time, obviously, Bradley was one of the biggest and obviously still is one of the biggest actors in Hollywood.
551
What was it like meeting him for the first time?
552
I was definitely nervous.
553
He was like he was in The Hangover.
554
And if I mean what everybody here, you weren't even born when The Hangover came out.
555
Excuse you.
556
I was a big fan of The Hangover.
557
And so, yeah, he was like the biggest celebrity I think I had ever met at the time.
558
And I was like, watch this.
559
Hold my beer.
560
You guys then go into dance rehearsals, right?
561
Because you had to do a lot.
562
What was the vibe?
563
I was confident.
564
There's our girl.
565
And I'm so bad.
566
After we finished filming, I had to do ADR to say like, yeah, I'm not that good of a dancer, but I like it.
567
It's fun.
568
It makes me happy because my dancing was so bad and it needed to be explained in the movie.
569
And if you had put a gun to my head while we were shooting, I would have been like, I'm really, really good.
570
I'm an amazing dancer.
571
They're like, hey, Jen, we're just going to need a backup line.
572
We may not use it.
573
Yeah.
574
And you're like...
575
I'm like reading that.
576
I'm like, I'm not that good of a...
577
Hey, what?
578
Okay, that's good to know.
579
So it humbled you a little bit.
580
Not even.
581
Oh, okay.
582
I was just like, they probably just need that as an option.
583
My character is probably just really humble.
584
For character development.
585
What else can I dance in?
586
Looking back, what was one of your favorite memories from filming that movie?
587
When Bradley and I had like a big makeout session, like at the end of the movie.
588
And I said, aren't you so sick of kissing?
589
And he didn't like that.
590
But I think he laughed.
591
But it just was funny.
592
It was one of those moments where you're like, right?
593
And the other person's like, oh.
594
You're like, oh, well.
595
No, I thought.
596
I'm sorry.
597
Are you saying I'm bad?
598
Yeah, but he laughed.
599
Next and last.
600
LOL.
601
LOL.
602
LOL.
603
That is Mystique Way on the first one.
604
First class.
605
X -Men first class.
606
And the amount of prosthetics and costume and makeup and all of it.
607
That was crazy.
608
So for first class, which is what that one is, it was all body paint and glue.
609
And it was like it was eight hours every every time.
610
No. And ticklish. And you've had airbrushing.
611
Yeah.
612
Imagine 12 tiny cold compressing airbrushes all over your body.
613
No, I'm I'm a hero and no one will ever understand what I went through.
614
And it's like no one talks about it enough.
615
No. That's why I brought it here today.
616
Thank you.
617
I wanted to give you your moment.
618
Thank you.
619
But how many times do you have to do it?
620
And you can donate to.
621
Microfund me.
622
Do you feel like you've gotten more comfortable advocating for yourself in moments in your career where you're like,
623
oh, I don't really want to wear that or I don't want to do that?
624
Or do you still feel like you're kind of malleable in moments
625
when people need you to be what they want you to be?
626
I think I think you you have to be malleable.
627
That's part of the job, you know.
628
So Lynn Ramsey for Dye My Love wanted me to cut my hair
629
and get like mullet bangs and like dye it platinum blonde.
630
And like that's the gig.
631
Like, you know, I ended up loving the hair.
632
but I didn't think I was going to.
633
Yeah, you have to be malleable.
634
I think I'm definitely, I speak up more because I'm also aware of the plays that I have in the industry.
635
So there was an instance on set where crew members who weren't approved
636
when I was doing nudity were on set or something, and I came down hard on it.
637
And purely because if if we're not setting that kind of principle at the level at which we're doing it right now,
638
you know, then what on earth is going to happen to an 18 year old unknown?
639
You know, if she shows up and there's people that aren't approved, it's you know, she's going to be in a position like,
640
do I say something and get a reputation for being difficult?
641
Or do I just let these people that I'm not comfortable see me naked see me naked?
642
So it was important to me to explain that to the to the people why that was not OK.
643
It is great.
644
I also think it's like such a weird thing where, especially as women, you're like,
645
oh, wow, I you slowly gain more power as you have more success in this industry
646
and power I use lightly because like still as women, it's like they can't use it.
647
Then they'll get mad at you.
648
But you're like, oh, maybe I like could say a little something for these people in this position.
649
Maybe you couldn't have said that back all the way.
650
Maybe like Hunger Games, let's say, where you were just starting off.
651
And I think something
652
that I have even struggled with in my career is like we have to be aware of our likability.
653
Like where do you find the balance
654
now where you're sitting today of like stressed as a woman in this industry about if people like you or not?
655
It's you can't let it influence your decisions.
656
You know, like getting into the hair space is like I'm sure people are going to have a lot to say.
657
And I think I think it's scary.
658
This is the first time I'm doing something that I have.
659
I really don't have experience with this.
660
Nothing to kind of fall back on because I've dealt with stress in the film industry.
661
There's not really a scenario that I'm handling that I haven't handled before or in some capacity of some sort of.
662
And this is new for me.
663
So, but I feel really confident.
664
I feel really too excited,
665
like to move forward with it.
666
And I mean, I, it has, the transition to me makes sense.
667
It doesn't have to make sense to anybody else.
668
But when I was starting out, like for the mystique that the other part of that character,
669
Raven, they dyed my hair five different colors just on the screen test.
670
Like in a day, they dyed my hair red, brown, black and then platinum blonde.
671
How did you not lose all your hair?
672
I don't know.
673
Oh, because I was using mess.
674
Yes.
675
20 years ago I was using it.
676
But it was obviously like fried.
677
And I had no agency over my hair.
678
It wasn't until I got, I was in the Hunger Games and I really wanted to use a wig
679
because I was tired of dying my hair brown.
680
And they were refusing to give me a wig.
681
And so I had my first tiny little protest of giving myself the worst haircut anyone has ever seen in their life, which was the pixie.
682
famously.
683
Do you know how embarrassing it was to be on a date with my now husband?
684
I'd be like on a second date with him and I'd be like, has he seen those pictures of me?
685
The pixie.
686
Like having a crush on somebody and knowing that those pictures are out on the Internet anyway.
687
But he didn't know you when you had the pixie.
688
He didn't know me then.
689
So, you know, I was just like, I have a crush on you.
690
Please don't Google me.
691
Please don't Google me like around 2013.
692
Those will be the first photos that come up
693
so once all my hair was off growing it back i just became obsessive about the health
694
and so i don't know i'm i'm excited by it
695
and it's i have a lot of like creative energy
696
that i'm excited to like expand on so um and i know
697
that they're good i know that the products work and
698
that they're good so that obviously is a huge relief i know
699
that part i can sleep at night that will stand the test of time.
700
If you've got a great product, then you can kind of sit back, relax, and you can enjoy the show.
701
Yeah.
702
Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Google Health.
703
Growing my family comes with enough decisions already.
704
The last thing I need is another app giving me 100 numbers and basically saying, good luck.
705
This overload of information actually becomes so confusing and weirdly not that helpful.
706
That's where Google Health Coach comes in.
707
It's a premium feature right inside the Google Health app built with Gemini and tailor -made for you,
708
turning your own health data into personalized guidance you can actually use because tracking is cool and all,
709
but without action items to go along with it, there's only so much I feel like I can actually do.
710
You guys know I navigated gestational diabetes during my pregnancy, so I'm thinking about food differently now.
711
And what's truly so helpful about Coach is that I I can take a photo of a meal, see the nutritional breakdown.
712
and then ask what I could add or swap to help balance it out.
713
So instead of me staring at a snack and wondering, okay, can I make this work?
714
I can literally ask my coach.
715
It can suggest something to pair with what I'm eating, like adding protein or fiber or a quick tweak that will keep my energy steady.
716
That's the real difference in my opinion.
717
It's not just tracking things for me.
718
It's helping me figure out what to do next without making health decisions feel like another full -time job
719
or another puzzle to figure out.
720
And that makes life so much easier, especially as I'm navigating this new chapter.

Okay, let's transition.
727
I want to talk to you about motherhood because,
728
you know, we've been referencing our brains a little bit in this interview and I appreciate you meeting me there.
729
Totally.
730
I think that's something a lot of people talk about is like their readiness to be a mom, right?
731
Like, oh my gosh, how did you know you were ready?
732
And did you feel ready?
733
And there's been so many people asking me that question and I was curious for you personally, what was that experience like?
734
Did you know, okay, now's the time?
735
I wanted to be a mom for so long and, you know, didn't find the right person.
736
And then I found the right person.
737
And then we were married and we wanted to be like married for the right time.
738
So I kind of like I wanted it so badly that I kind of like waited for him to be like,
739
OK, it is now an acceptable time for you to ask me for a child.
740
And I was like, please.
741
But I felt like ready.
742
But I also like there's also I understand when people are like, you're never going to feel ready.
743
What were you completely unprepared for?
744
You know, your vagina will bounce back.
745
Your butthole won't.
746
I don't know if I needed to hear that before giving birth.
747
I'm like, wow.
748
Wow, Jen.
749
You're unprepared for all of it.
750
Yeah.
751
All of it.
752
And everybody's like, your instincts, your instincts.
753
You have no idea what you're doing.
754
There's no...
755
I remember women being like, you'll be able to hear the difference with the cries.
756
And then I'm like, I can't hear the difference with the cries.
757
Like, I'm such a bad mom.
758
Jen, what's going to happen to my butthole?
759
I'll tell you.
760
I will tell you.
761
Really?
762
Once I can get into a heated place, I'll show you.
763
Oh, wow.
764
You know what?
765
Like, no one said that to me yet.
766
Really?
767
Weird.
768
No. No one said that to me.
769
And I've had someone be like, do you want to see my birth video?
770
And I'm like, no, because I don't want to know yet.
771
That person sounds really, really gross and weird.
772
You, literally five minutes ago.
773
Yeah.
774
But I, I, yeah, I'm okay.
775
And we're going to circle back before you leave on just like what you meant by that.
776
Okay.
777
I need like three minutes.
778
Yeah.
779
And by the time you explain it to me, can you lie to my face?
780
Because you are a good liar.
781
Whatever you were, what the honest truth is, lie.
782
Because I still got to, I got to do it.
783
Yeah.
784
And I don't want to be giving birth thinking, what did you say about my asshole?
785
There's no going back.
786
That thing's coming out.
787
I know.
788
Okay.
789
How has it changed your relationship with yourself?
790
I mean, I just, I'm so ruled by guilt.
791
I'm trying not to be, you know what?
792
I'm not ruled by guilt.
793
Why?
794
Like, what do you mean?
795
You just, you're never doing enough.
796
You're never there enough.
797
But if you're there too much, then, you know, they're too attached and then they're never going to go to school.
798
And you're just never, I don't think I've ever just like gotten into bed and been like, wow.
799
God, I'm such a good mom.
800
And I know I'm a good mom.
801
I know.
802
and I it's just it's hard to pat yourself on the back
803
because this job is so important and you love your kids
804
so much that it's hard to just be like good job
805
and you can hear it from maybe other people be like you're doing a great job
806
but you yourself yeah yeah yeah how has it changed your approach to your career
807
it has been really great for my career and in the way that like, not for my career, but for my work,
808
I don't, I've never really needed structured time before.
809
I've never, you know, my, I have never had to kind of, yeah, structure my time.
810
And so when you have kids, you have to be very mindful about what hours are spent where, what you're going to do and how,
811
or you're not going to get anything done and you're going to fail at both.
812
So I'm really structured with my time now, which is just something that I never thought about or saw for myself.
813
Okay.
814
So to me, give me one piece of advice that I'm opening it up.
815
You're allowed to give me advice.
816
New mom coming into this.
817
What should or should I not do?
818
Um, don't start, don't worry that your kid is like bored.
819
Don't, when they get into the car seat, don't just hand them something right away, you know?
820
And like, that's something that like you have to get over because you'll be like, they're bored, they're bored, they're this, they're that, you know?
821
And it's like, they're not.
822
Their neurons are like quadrupling and they're like seeing a tree.
823
They've never seen a tree before.
824
Yeah.
825
And like, don't just give them a vice.
826
OK.
827
How has being a mom and a career woman and a wife, all the things impacted your female friendships?
828
Yeah.
829
Well, me literally clenching my butthole for the rest of this whole interview being like, how has it affected your friendships?
830
Do you have friends?
831
They're over.
832
They're done.
833
I don't know.
834
The mom community is so important and I help me
835
so much like going to the baby classes
836
and like moms from school um like I remember
837
when I had bad postpartum with my second I like got on the elevator
838
and one of the moms was just like are you okay
839
and I just wasn't
840
and I was just like I'm really scared every day
841
I have such bad anxiety I feel like I'm being chased by a tiger
842
and like one of the moms like heard and hugged me
843
and just like gave me her number and and just talked to me like the mom community is like really amazing
844
It really is.
845
And I, again, prior to even thinking about having a kid would have just been like, okay, I can't relate to that.
846
And now being pregnant, so much of what I've been going through, it has been really nice to see other women who are like,
847
oh my God, don't worry.
848
I've done that before and I've messed that up and all the things.
849
Like it makes you feel way less alone because again, I love my husband and he really is like my partner in all this.
850
But I'm like, you literally don't understand what I'm physically going through.
851
So to have another woman talk to me about her butthole, like it's just something that Matt and I will never connect on.
852
Do you know what I mean?
853
You're a butthole too.
854
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
855
Like he'll just never understand it.
856
Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Ashley.
857
Okay, daddy gang, your home is where so much of your life happens, obviously.
858
And so many of your favorite memories are made.
859
But when you're getting ready to grow your family, you do start thinking about your space completely differently.
860
Before I was pregnant, I only really picked furniture based on how it looked and how it felt.
861
But now I am thinking about real life.
862
Like, is this practical?
863
Is this easy to clean?
864
Can it survive a toddler and the throw up?
865
Because suddenly home isn't just where you live.
866
It's where I'll be bringing my baby back for the first time
867
and watching all of their milestones and making so many memories with our new family.
868
And that is why I love Ashley.
869
It makes furniture that is actually designed for real life.
870
Their pieces are obviously so beautiful, but they're also durable with performance fabrics that are easy to clean,
871
which feels very necessary as I start to think about all the spit ups
872
and the snacks and the sticky fingers that I will be dealing with.
873
And when you're preparing for that next chapter of life, convenience becomes so much more important.
874
Ashley offers fast, reliable white glove delivery right to your room of choice
875
so you have everything delivered and set up exactly where you need it.
876
Visit your local Ashley store or head to Ashley .com to find your style.
877
You have a secret TikTok?
878
I do.
879
That you use to rage bait people in the comments?
880
Yeah.
881
And I think I'm just going to like take that live.
882
I think I'm just going to, it's about time I just take the mask off.
883
Really?
884
Yeah, I think so.
885
Because I'm literally, I'm arguing about like
886
Victorian, you know, ancestry.
887
Wait, wait, wait.
888
What's on your For You page?
889
My FYP is like the long skincare things.
890
Okay.
891
You know, like where the girls wake up and they're like.
892
Oh, yeah.
893
Those ones where they're like wearing the whole shield over their hair and they take it off.
894
Yeah.
895
By the way, like your pores can't breathe.
896
No. Like you can't sleep like that.
897
And also, how do you sleep like that?
898
It's a whole thing.
899
The rollers.
900
No, I don't.
901
Hair.
902
A lot of hair stuff.
903
Um, and, um, at recipes.
904
Oh, you're a cook.
905
Well, I can cook.
906
Yeah.
907
I haven't cooked as much lately.
908
So have you gotten into any fights online?
909
With other celebrities?
910
No. Oh, with strangers?
911
All the time.
912
Every day.
913
What are you fighting about?
914
I told you.
915
English.
916
Tudor.
917
History.
918
Like, what are, and what's your take?
919
Like, what are we saying?
920
It depends on what the situation is, you know?
921
And are you doing this while you're like sitting on the toilet, like while you're like in the car?
922
Like, when are you most rage baiting people?
923
God, can you imagine sitting on the toilet without your phone?
924
No, I literally got up the other day because I was like, I got to go get it before I go to sit down.
925
Yeah, I know.
926
I know.
927
Isn't that so dark?
928
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
929
Well, it's so, like, lonely.
930
I know.
931
I'll sometimes, like, put a podcast in to walk from my bedroom, like, downstairs to my kitchen.
932
Like, what am I going to listen to on these 13 steps?
933
Okay, so you're doing your best rage bait comments maybe?
934
All day, every day.
935
You know, there's not really, yeah.
936
If I'm breathing, I'm rage baiting.
937
Let me get your take on a couple things.
938
How do we feel about people who post their Spotify raps at the end of the year?
939
I find that really uncomfortable.
940
I don't know who could be that extroverted.
941
What are you listening to?
942
I listen to the same three songs.
943
I don't know how to find new music.
944
Name the three songs, Jen.
945
I really, really don't want to do that.
946
I can't.
947
That's too private.
948
It's so private.
949
It's so incredible.
950
Of all the things we've talked about today, that is so deeply private.
951
Even when my Spotify rap does happen, I don't want to look at it.
952
It would be like if we were listening to a song and you were like, what are you imagining right now?
953
And like, I had to tell you.
954
And I'm like, I'm a record producer and I wrote this song.
955
When you would go on dates with men and they're like, what kind of music do you like?
956
Oh, yeah.
957
Just check.
958
Like, there's, I don't even, I don't even know.
959
I've lied in the past.
960
I'm like, well, what do you like?
961
I'm like, same.
962
Because it's just too vulnerable.
963
Yeah.
964
My answer used to be, God, I hate this.
965
Okay.
966
Give it.
967
Good of everything.
968
But that's not true.
969
I really, I cannot stand the sound of a saxophone.
970
It does something to my inner ear.
971
Oh, good to know.
972
Oh, I hate it.
973
Okay.
974
How do you feel about glam bots on the red carpet?
975
What is that?
976
Is that somebody who's a computer?
977
You're like, obviously, I know what this is.
978
It's when you're on the red carpet.
979
You go to red carpets.
980
I do.
981
They have these at the Oscars.
982
They go one, two, three, and there's a camera up here.
983
And then it moves.
984
It's the one that moves, remember?
985
And then you turn.
986
Humiliating.
987
Have you ever done one?
988
It's not humiliating when other people do it.
989
But the act of doing it is humiliating.
990
What do you think your pose would be?
991
It gets you like right in the act where you're like, yeah, bad, bad, bad.
992
Yeah.
993
I actually could see you just doing it and giving straight face.
994
Yeah.
995
And just be like.
996
No, no, no. That would be.
997
Yeah, maybe you should do it next time you go on the carpet.
998
Mm -hmm.
999
We got to go reality TV takes, okay?
1000
Yeah.
1001
If you had to pick best reality TV show of all time.
1002
Vanderpump Rules.
1003
The OG.
1004
Yeah, specifically the first couple seasons.
1005
Yeah.
1006
Like, I don't know what I did to you, but you can get me a Prudio Grigio.
1007
Yeah.
1008
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1009
Jax Taylor.
1010
Jax Taylor.
1011
OGs.
1012
Oh my God.
1013
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1014
Yeah.
1015
Kristen Doty.
1016
Oh, please.
1017
It was, something was in the air.
1018
Yeah.
1019
I agree.
1020
I was trying to think about it and I was like, I think that I do have to give
1021
Jersey Shore credit because it's like it really did something for the culture.
1022
Here's the thing.
1023
Your question, what is the best reality TV show ever?
1024
You're right.
1025
It is Jersey Shore or like the real world or, you know, I think for me in my universe, I guess I would say Vanderpump Rules.
1026
No, no, no. That's actually fair.
1027
Like for you, it's the best.
1028
No, for me, I would have been like Laguna Beach and the hills like that for me coming up.
1029
Oh, my God.
1030
Can you imagine?
1031
Remember Elsie's purse with the big ring?
1032
Do you remember her house?
1033
Yeah, of course.
1034
Oh, my.
1035
Her dad.
1036
Her dad.
1037
I was like, I'm sitting in my room eating my hair with my sister.
1038
We live in a cul -de -sac in Pennsylvania.
1039
I don't even know where
1040
Los Angeles is on the map.
1041
And we're sitting there watching these women and they are just so beautiful, so gorgeous.
1042
Their outfits, their everything.
1043
And they have like boyfriends, like full boyfriends who like drive them in cars.
1044
And they're wearing like the Chanel big glasses.
1045
And like Jason picks her up in a convertible.
1046
I know.
1047
Like I was so enthralled with that world.
1048
And I couldn't even imagine.
1049
And then when Kristen Cavallari comes on the scene and oh my God, I was so obsessed with it.
1050
So I think it really like impacted who I wanted to be, you know.
1051
You are, and I want you to know in my culture, I think in our shared culture,
1052
this is the nicest thing I could say to you.
1053
Oh God.
1054
You are as beautiful as Kristen Cavallari.
1055
Please accept these compliments from my culture.
1056
You're gassing me up because you know I'm not feeling great about my pregnancy.
1057
You know how I'm feeling.
1058
Thank you.
1059
I really believe that.
1060
You are as beautiful as Elsie.
1061
Thank you.
1062
We're feeling good today.
1063
How do we feel about dad talk?
1064
Not good.
1065
I don't like dad talk.
1066
I don't I hate it.
1067
I hate that talk.
1068
It feels like you're riding on their coattails.
1069
and also you are mad at them for the success
1070
that they have and for the income that they're bringing into the home, not only are you copying it,
1071
you are then belittling them and you are angry at them that you didn't do it first.
1072
I so agree with you.
1073
God, I'm mad.
1074
Fuck!
1075
We both start crying.
1076
Yeah.
1077
Okay.
1078
What dating show?
1079
Let's pretend you're single.
1080
Your husband's gone.
1081
Your kids don't exist.
1082
We're back in the day, Jen.
1083
Okay.
1084
What dating show would you crush?
1085
Like, if you went on this, you're like, I would be a rising star.
1086
Hmm.
1087
I love that.
1088
I think Love Island because it's about the girlies.
1089
Like, because I wouldn't be able to be, like, competitive with, I would have to be like, if we're not friends, I'm going to cry.
1090
Okay, and then you would feel good about, like, pulling men for chats.
1091
Do you think your chat game is strong?
1092
No. No. I don't think so.
1093
But I'm just trying to imagine me in, like, Love is Blind, just, like, blacked out.
1094
Put it on the wall, and you're like, are you getting claustrophobic in here?
1095
In the Revolutionary War, I was just arguing with somebody.
1096
Oh, yeah, because I wouldn't have my phone.
1097
No. So I would have to argue with the person in the wall next to me about historical facts.
1098
I think you'd need to be like in person, in eye contact, under the canopy.
1099
Also, in Love Island, they're like only allowed two drinks or something.
1100
If I didn't have kids and this was in, I'm uncomfortable and I don't have my phone.
1101
I, oh my God.
1102
I would have a seizure from drinking so much.
1103
You're bringing in a flask.
1104
You're hiding a flask in your drawer.
1105
You're having a good time.
1106
Yeah.
1107
Okay.
1108
I could see you on Love Island.
1109
Thank you.
1110
Oh my God.
1111
You should totally do a little like appearance.
1112
Okay.
1113
No, no, no. I hear you.
1114
Great.
1115
I get it.
1116
Megan Thee Stallion came in and like hosted a challenge.
1117
Do you think you would ever do that?
1118
No. No?
1119
Okay.
1120
Okay.
1121
Should Amanda and West have stayed on Summer House?
1122
Well, obviously, I don't know the ins and outs of their deal.
1123
I think she said something like she was getting like a pay doc or something.
1124
So, you know, that's, I mean, yes, I want them to continue to be on the show.
1125
But I don't know what, I mean, God, it's just like, just don't do that.
1126
There are, you know, it's like, if you have those feelings, sit with it for a minute, just make other choices.
1127
It is.
1128
It just, you know, like if my friend came over and like tomorrow, you know, if my friend was like single
1129
and was like dating a new guy and he walked in and I was like, oh, my God, this guy is so hot.
1130
You're just like, wow, that is something that I feel.
1131
And, you know, and life goes on.
1132
You know, the last thing I'm going to do is act on this.
1133
Literally the last thing.
1134
Andy Cohen said that you helped him get to the bottom of the Summer House reunion audio leak.
1135
Can you please explain?
1136
I can confirm.
1137
You can confirm, but you can't explain.
1138
Okay, so like you're sleuthin'.
1139
I did it in way, everything was like public information.
1140
It was actually quite easy.
1141
You're in the chats.
1142
You're in the channels.
1143
Yeah, I don't mind my own business.
1144
That's the thing about me.
1145
And we all love that.
1146
Okay, who is Kris Jenner's favorite daughter?
1147
Me.
1148
But Kylie, I think.
1149
It's got to be Kylie.
1150
Yeah.
1151
It oscillates between Kylie and Kim, Kylie and Kim.
1152
Yeah, well, I don't know.
1153
Kendall's on her lock screen. Or was.
1154
It should be Khloe.
1155
Well, Khloe's my favorite sister.
1156
Me too.
1157
Yeah.
1158
Which reality TV reunion would you be qualified to host?
1159
Um, be qualified to host.
1160
I don't, I mean, none of them.
1161
Because I can't, I wouldn't let any of them talk.
1162
And I wouldn't, the men?
1163
Like, imagine if I was hosting the Valley.
1164
Oh my God.
1165
Yeah, Danny.
1166
You're not gonna.
1167
Couldn't sit with us.
1168
So you just kind of like sit there and just take control.
1169
Yeah.
1170
And then like, if a man tried to speak, even if nobody else was speaking, I'd be like, I'm speaking.
1171
Shut up!
1172
Yeah.
1173
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1174
A man to go on reality TV, it's a lot.
1175
Yeah.
1176
What is your housewife tagline?
1177
You have to have thought about this.
1178
My name's Jennifer, and I can't mind my own business.
1179
Love.
1180
Love.
1181
Which housewives fight was peak reality TV?
1182
Um, Salt Lake City with the receipts timeline.
1183
It was pretty good.
1184
Yeah.
1185
I think also the flipping of the table by Teresa.
1186
Like you can never know.
1187
No. Because she, she gets really fired up.
1188
It's kind of like Tamara.
1189
Like Tamara freaks out about everything. So like.
1190
That's fair.
1191
Um, okay.
1192
We're closing out.
1193
I want to ask a couple more things about your hair care line.
1194
Okay.
1195
What do you think product wise is your go -to favorite right now?
1196
My go -to favorite right now, that's really hard to say because the root spray I cannot live without
1197
because it thickens my hair and I might as well just not do anything
1198
if I'm not going to have the root spray.
1199
but I've noticed that when I don't use the mask now like before even
1200
if it's like one minute before I try
1201
if I don't use the mask now it my hair does not I don't like I don't love the way
1202
that it behaves okay so we're going for root spray and mask
1203
but the restyling serum like I'm going to be able to keep this blow out it's good for five days
1204
because of the of the restyling serum wow so
1205
that I think is the one that I can't live without because that one I can hold on to blowouts for days.
1206
Oh, and that's nice.
1207
If you get a blowout from someone, then you just you have them put that in.
1208
That's what I do.
1209
Or I'll blow my hair out until it's like damp and then kind of let it go natural a little bit.
1210
And then I just use the serum to get the floofs out.
1211
So I guess the restyling.
1212
It looks really good.
1213
Thank you.
1214
OK, so.
1215
How do you feel?
1216
Do you feel like you got everything off your chest?
1217
Any rumors you want to clarify?
1218
Any misconceptions?
1219
Any tea?
1220
You know, You know, the number one thing that I will read sometimes
1221
when I'm scrolling through comments and I see that people say this about other celebrities,
1222
too, and it really drives me crazy is when people think that celebrities have called and staged paparazzi pictures.
1223
Let's talk about this.
1224
It is so infuriating because I'm like, what's more likely?
1225
Let's play this out.
1226
What is more likely?
1227
That I live in the same building every day of my life and they know where that is?
1228
Or before I leave the house, I'm like, hold on.
1229
I have mismatching socks and a messy bun and I have to call this guy.
1230
I don't know how to drop a pin.
1231
Who would I call?
1232
You know what, Jen?
1233
And I'm going to help you out here.
1234
And it doesn't help my career.
1235
You're one of the people I don't think is calling the paparazzi on herself.
1236
But it's good to clarify today.
1237
You know what would help my career?
1238
Anonymity.
1239
Mystique.
1240
You're like, I need to be seen less.
1241
If you couldn't see me unless I was in a movie, do you know how successful I would be?
1242
Yeah, we got to get you out of New York.
1243
I know.
1244
I have seen a lot of paparazzi photos of you lately.
1245
I know.
1246
I live with the .
1247
Oh, sorry. But yes.
1248
Bleep.
1249
Oh, yeah.
1250
You're like, you just told me you're in the dress.
1251
I live in that building.
1252
Yeah.
1253
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1254
So they know exactly where to hit you.
1255
Yeah.
1256
That's good to know.
1257
I like that clarification.
1258
Thank you so much for coming on Call Her Daddy.
1259
This was so fun.
1260

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
