Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I mean, you know what? And actually hearing it, that's like the most humane thing about him. I'm like, maybe I'll try applesauce on a cheeseburger.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I basically read the transcripts. I go to inner city press for everything. And I just like kind of read through the transcripts. And like, even that is crazy because it was almost like, yeah, this dude blew up my car. Molotov cocktail? Like ripped the top of the car in and yeah, threw a Molotov cocktail in, burnt up the car.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
And not a wife beater, but a white tee.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I mean, it was very much like walking into that courtroom, I'm going to do my thing, say what I need to say, and then I'm out.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
No, I mean, I think people feel that same way. It's hard because it's such a heavy trial. So it's like hard to have these light moments where Johnny Depp, you know, you can kind of have these light moments where it's like this one, you're like, oh.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
But everyone wanted to go to a white party. It was the party to get invited to. Now it's like Michael, what's his name, up in the Hamptons, that's the party to get invited to. Diddy's white parties were the thing, so it's not surprising that everyone went to them. That's why I'm like, connecting all these celebrities, if they hadn't been invited, you'd be like, they're a loser.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
It is, but that's just the thing about Hollywood. You could be taking a picture with someone one day, You don't know that they're a creep like a few years later and then all of a sudden they're on trial and the next thing you know, oh Kiki was at this party. She was at Tom Tom. Longing on so and so.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Well, yeah. I mean, like this is what you know, we want to follow these things. It's no different than we were following. The OJ trial was a big thing. Like all of these things make, you know, good gossip.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Probably like a hundred thousand dollar facelift.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Well, speaking of older women, I'm curious because like, well, I'm just saying you brought up Kris Jenner. I mean, is she sort of like, if you were to pick older women, is she your type? Yeah.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Because it seems like to be a thing in the Bravo boy world. And I know that you went, you were in the people shoot for the Hot Boy Summer and you were with Jesse Solomon. And Jesse Solomon recently was allegedly... Hooking up with Erika Jayne during the upfronts.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Yes. And I say that from, again, a gossipy perspective because it would help both of them. I'm sorry. It sounds bad. They both need that headline. And I'm not saying they did it for the headline. But what I'm saying is if you had a hot person and like you had the opportunity to screw them and you knew it couldn't help, it could help with like or wouldn't hurt.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Because it makes you, Erika Jayne, look like, OK, I can still get these younger men. And it makes you, Jesse, kind of see it. you're appealing to the Bravo demographic. You're feeding the Bravo beast. They're like, oh, all of a sudden, could I get that Jesse's? He likes that older woman.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
And even if he does, I mean, we're not, again, this is all good stuff. Now, he hasn't confirmed it. Has he?
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I mean, and you knew all the guys. Well, Tyson Beckford, had you met him before?
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
He was the first like supermodel that I like fell in love with. I was like, who is like God?
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
But you're a model, so it's like you obviously had to have height. Kiki, do I give off short guy energy? Well, I think I knew because you were a model you weren't going to give me. And also you don't, like you give off. I will say tall, skinny, big dick energy like just like you do.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Well, obviously, I'm all hooked on the Valley right now because like it's it's it harkens back to the old VH1 days where I felt like people were just. really messy in the best possible way.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
It's true. No, my, yeah, my mom the other day was like, oh, you know, I get to catch your radio show sometimes. And I like, and then I like all of a sudden like shivered. I was like, oh.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I want to meet him. I want to smoke with him.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
But I'm scared. Exactly. That's why I'm like, I don't know. I can't hang.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
It depends. Like I like a joint. Like if I'm just like at a party and just like I want to like let it like, yeah, just like kind of go around because I don't, you know, I don't smoke. But it's like you miss the smoking days when you used to smoke cigarettes. But, you know, every once in a while on a weekend, it's like you have a little gummy, very small just to get it started. And then just like.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Absolutely. When you have to put breathing on manual.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I would have gone to, I probably would have ended up in the hospital.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
No, that's too much. That's crazy. Like, yeah, that would send me to like, but I've like definitely overdosed myself where I've woken up the next morning and thought I was okay. And then I was like, No, I had to go over to my friend and have them take care of me.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Well, I just had to feed the cats and that was hard enough as it was.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I'm asking out into the... I'm not even Jewish and I'm not accepting this because I'm sorry. I've actually had to just mute him out of my feed because I... It's sad, it's sad what's happened to him, but it's just not acceptable and I can't.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I think like, look, I could still listen to his music, but then it got to a point where listening to the music actually was triggering me because it reminded me of him. Because he would just be on these rants and it was actually bothering me because I was like, I don't want you in my feed. Like maybe if I was just listening to the music and you had gone away, it would be okay.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
But you're in my feed. I can't even listen to the music because it's bothering me. But I do agree like... There's people, like, if you go to a museum and, like, those arts, I know some of those artists were some of the most horrible people. But, like, we, like, go and enjoy the art, but, like, we didn't have social media and all these things.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I mean, apologies are always a step in the right direction.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Oh, my God. I mean, so much. I mean, I feel like Mormon Wives.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Well, you were in the middle of the drama that's being played out right now because supposedly Marciano was in here...
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
And so, yeah, but I just love that Tom Tom is still at the center of it.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I'm curious, like, do you know... I mean, they're filming the new Vanderpump reboot. Do you know all the people who are... I know some of them.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I understand that. I just think that when you hand over a crown as heavy as that, if they had just created a new show about servers, we probably would have not. But we have to associate it with Vanderpump Rules and that's very, very hard to separate it. And we're going to be comparing the whole time. I just personally as a cast member would feel like awkward.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Did they reach out to you to like ask advice or anything?
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I'm excited. I was actually going to do a Vanderpump rewatch. I did one, I think, during COVID. And I think I'm going to do another one.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Yes. We should actually do a rewatch and then talk about it. See, you guys, I'm good at this shit. I like talking shit.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Yeah, when I'm high and then I fucking lose my mind and then I have to be like, no!
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I don't want to give away because I want you to. Have you watched the movie Companion?
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Okay, so I don't want to give away, but I love Black Mirror. I love these ideas because I do think that we love AI. I was saying today, the AI baby recreations that they do is like my kryptonite. Every time I see them recreating a scene from a reality show and they're using baby AI, I'm like, oh my God, I love this.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
But then it's like Sarah Connor from Terminator is like, what are you guys doing befriending the AI so much?
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I do. I do use it for like, you know, creating content. I have it like prompt me for like, I want to think of an idea for like a title. And like, I don't use exactly what they give me, but it helps me generate ideas.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Wait, you know, a lot of people who are at least I'm thinking of three off the top.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I think it is a helpful tool, but I think that if you start making it your only companion, this is where we're going to. I feel like for an adult, I don't think it's as bad. For the children who've never had a relationship before, if AI and chat GPT is their first relationship, we're going to have problems.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Because Selena Gomez is an angel baby that everyone loves. She had more followers than the Kardashians at one point.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
playbook but like man i just i've seen some dark dark dark things about hayley because she's so lovely people believe that she was being a mean girl to selena and so it's very it goes deep but i you know i i'm very much like i don't like when i see the girls fighting but i also love when i see the girls fighting from like a content perspective but
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I mean, I don't know. Like, I think that there's, I want to see more light stuff, which I think is coming. I feel like we were in a really heavy period for a while. I think like with the Mormon wives and stuff like that, I think we're seeing a lot more lightness come, which is kind of fun. So I'm excited for that. And I'm hoping this kind of future, like,
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
You know, look, I hope that the new sort of wave of people we have Jen at Jen. What is it? Jen and NYC. Those people like. Yes. Maybe we'll see younger people doing stuff. Maybe it could be cool. I don't know. We'll see.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Whose team are you on? Are you I mean, I know that you're friends with all of them.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Well, I just don't know why Craig is all of a sudden unfollowing everyone and making it a whole thing.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
The first time I saw him in person, first of all, I didn't realize he was so tall. He was someone who gave me short energy. And then when I saw him, I was like, you're so good looking.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I haven't hung out with him, but I mean.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Okay. I'm sure. Yeah. I think they announced that they had the list.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
And I want to see, I know he's had to back off, but I want to get black out with Shep at Vegas. And I know he did that last year, but I was working, so I didn't get to party. And this year, I feel like I might be able to party if I go.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I mean, if I go, someone's got to send me.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
We're at TomTom, the infamous TomTom. It is the beginning of Memorial Weekend. I think it's kicking off Pride Week, too, or Pride Weekend or Pride Month is about to happen. So I feel very Vanderpump-y because that was always the kickoff to your show. Exactly.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Yeah. Nostalgia has to feel so good for you because I don't know, like I always think like the best times to live in L.A. I mean, I would have been way older, but would have been like in the 80s and 90s when like Guns N' Roses and all those people were playing. But the second best time, early 2000s. Yes. And when did you move here?
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I mean, I know it has ghosts. It does. Have you seen or heard?
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Yeah, I just went to the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel for like a gifting suite and they were in the penthouse and it was a two story penthouse and they have this sunken living room at the top and it is so gorgeous. It's probably built in like the 20s and it just feels like. So cool.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
It's now time for your weekly detox with Tom Schwartz.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I mean, I feel like I'm here a lot because honestly, like the only men I really enjoy the company of is gay men. So.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I need people to not judge me if I'm drunk at 2 p.m. or I'm drunk at 2 a.m. Even though you have to kind of end the night at 2 a.m. in L.A. Everything closes. But day drinking is great here.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Yeah, most people probably know me as the Talk of Shame. I feel like Kiki Monique is the secondary name, and I feel like they mostly know me... I think I got introduced as a Bravo gossip girl, but I think people now know me as just the news you're nosy about. So whether it's pop culture, true crime, whatever... Yeah, you're ubiquitous now. Yeah.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
It's hard, right? Because you feel like you know these people, you're watching them on TV. And now I'm in a different place because now I actually am getting to know people. I invite them on my show, we talk and stuff. And I think some people assume because I am befriending these people that I'm going easier on them, which is not the case.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
It's more that once you start getting close with people, they start letting you in into certain things that you wouldn't normally know behind the scenes. And so you have a different perspective on things you might see on camera. And that's just it makes it easier, I think, to report.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I think you just created it and I love it.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Well, that's really good that you feel that because I feel like some people don't. I feel like I know that you're close with Jax. He does not really like it. Have you ever been blocked by Jax? I'm curious.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Only a couple times. One time, Julia from Ladies of London, who I think is coming back onto Real Housewives of London, she got mad at me because I didn't like her take on Meghan Markle and she wanted me to take it down and I just did it and then she blocked me.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Yes. I think it's like normal. I think it's healthy. I think that everyone does it. And like, If you don't do it I think I don't know I feel like it's like it's a healthy human thing to do.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
And I think also on top of it in Hollywood in L.A. you know. People want you to talk about them. A lot of times their publicists will reach out to make sure you're talking about them.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Because you're not relevant if people aren't talking about you anymore. And at the end of the day, you want to make a paycheck. And the only way you can make a paycheck is still being relevant.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
I know. Oh my God, they're starting the music.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Yeah. I mean, this is a big weekend for them. I mean, they got to draw the people in and they need the music.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
It's weird. But has that happened? I mean, I don't think that, in West Hollywood, I don't feel like I've ever encountered that.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
So do you, who do you gossip with when you gossip?
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
No, I mean, I think in the beginning, when we heard everything, when he got raided and all of that, and all of those things, the baby, all of that, it was very much like, oh my God, this guy's the devil. He's going down. This is so bad. Machiavellian.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
And then he gets locked up. He doesn't get bail. So he's been in a Brooklyn jail cell this whole time. So we're thinking, obviously, it's the feds. They have evidence. This guy's going to be R. Kelly. He's going to be in prison forever.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
now as I'm listening to the trial and it's, you know, sex trafficking, you know, racketeering and I'm hearing the testimony, I'm like, I'm hearing a lot of like freaky bedroom behavior. Yes.
Detox Retox with Tom Schwartz
XOXO Gossip Guy & Kiki Monique
Oh my God. I mean, you know, one girl said she was assaulted by Diddy, but she said when he took his pants down, she felt a little relieved because his penis was, was basically the size of a Tootsie Roll.
