It is for everyone, no matter how much money you have.

And growing up and getting married and having children, starting your own family, what I'm going through right now, what so many of you guys are going through and have gone through, it is also complicated.

It's a new experience.

You have to bend and adapt and start new traditions and prioritize your new family, but also respect where you came from.

And everyone, most importantly, has to be involved and has to be willing to go along with that and try and support each other and love each other.

airing this out publicly, like cutting people off, it is messy and unfortunately it feels like that is just becoming increasingly common in our culture, in our society, that does not value family, that does not see the importance of holding those bonds together.

We are at a time where for decades both men and women now are being told to stay single, you'll be better for it, you'll make more money, you'll live longer, all of these things if you just don't get married.

You don't need to have a family, you just need to eat, pray, love, and go find yourself.

And like not to make it political, but it kind of is inherently

But like, is anybody surprised that this is happening?

That it's becoming more common in a world where people proudly cut off their close, immediate family members due to politics?

Thinking about what we talked about just back in November, I think it was the Teen Vogue editor, the panelists at their event, who was listing off on stage all of her family members, her brothers, her sisters, her mothers, her fathers, her stepfathers, whatever it is, all the people that she has blocked and no longer speaks to.

She said that behind the microphone on stage, two applause.

That is the world that we live in.

It's insane, it's not normal, but it is happening everywhere.

It's been encouraged by politicians, by the media, by Hollywood, it has been applauded.

And so now think about this huge family, this brand, this business, add in the press and paparazzi and billions of dollars and egos and divas and brands, it is a recipe for disaster.

And some personalities, you know, will get too big for their britches, they won't want to bend and fold, they just tear the whole thing down, when in reality, they should have just had some humility and at least tried.

And that could be Victoria in this situation, it could be Brooklyn, it could be Nicola, and that's unfortunate for them.

And I've sat here and I've laughed and I've said that I'm, you know, titillated to talk about this, but objectively, it's sad.
