Something just dropped into my text. May I? Yes. Oh my God. This is from Amanda. We've seen the growing online speculation. So while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity. It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Even the complicated relationship dynamics involved in the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it. We've shown up for each other as friends over the years through the highs and lows and what's developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship that made it especially important to approach this with care. As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling. We also recognized that this has an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to hurt or to be perceived as careless. We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Wow. Good for them. They finally said it. They said it. They said it. And now, we said it. Thank you for putting us out of our misery. Oh my God. Wow. The owl has spoken. Holy moly. Thank goodness. We can all just close the chapter. Wow. Oh. On a Tuesday morning. You know, it's not the weekend. It's not a Sunday where you can burn off a lot of like, crazies. They usually drop this kind of stuff on a Friday. They never do it on a, no, you're right. They couldn't. It's too hot to handle. It's too hot to handle. Oh my God. Holy shit. Well, good, good. I'm very glad. And I wonder, so again, predictions. They will stay together. They will stay together through the summer. Sierra will not do it. Sierra will move on to host. Yeah. She's going to move on to other things. But we need her moving on correctly, Amy. She will. Oh my God. Do you know the opportunities that are going to come her way? They, but here, you know, I worry about her. I don't emotionally you're saying you wanted to move on emotionally. No, no, no. I want her to collect her money. Her bag. Oh yeah. I just feel, and I know like your darlings have sent me. I've said before I don't see her and I don't, her, whatever bag she's collecting, I haven't really been in my purview for whatever reason. Oh yeah. But I don't think she's collected the bag, bag, bag. Like I want her. Well guess what baby? Is it coming? It's fucking on. Do you know? She needs to get with Paige and Paige needs to sign a management agreement with her right now and just manage the next three months for her. I want Paige on it. That's a good idea. Paige will get on it. She will. She'll have her back. She's such a girls girl. Okay. Great. Oh my God. She's going to, she is going to have, she is going to be swarmed by the love and support of America and other kingdoms at large. Like she is going to be celebrated. She was on a red carpet last night for a premiere looking stunning. And by the way, that is intentional. Yes. And would she have gotten that invitation before? I don't think so. Okay. Maybe she would have. I don't know. But she's out there. Let's go. It's go time baby. In the world where Scandavall exists, the fact that something like this would happen now, don't get me wrong. This is not Scandavall. No. This is, but this is, this is hurtful though. This is a betrayal. Oh, this is, this is bad. This is a betrayal of two friends who were closer. Yeah. Than Ariana and Rachel. I dare to say. Oh. That's interesting. Yeah. I would, I would agree with that. Here we go. You just can't go skinny dipping, you know, when you got those titties. Them titties, you know, they're going to get you into some trouble. You know, you got to take those titties out with caution because they're going to get you in places. They're going to destroy lives, you know. Yeah. Be ready. Those are destroying lives titties. Those are those kind of titties. Couple of destructors right there before you, you know, no one can deny them. No one's safe. Wow. Wow. Wow. Well, I am so glad that you saw that come in. Holy shit, Deanna. Holy shit. We got to experience that together. That was fun.
