Lacey was a guest on this show all the way back in season one, and after her iconic episode, Leave Him a Little Bit Broke, A Little Bit Mad, aka the episode with the sorority sisters in the handkerchief, none of us have ever been the same.
Lacey, welcome back!
Hello! Thank you for having me.
I am so happy to be here, because this is the first time that we've actually been in the studio together. But you are, I don't know if you know this, but you are one of Normal Gossip's biggest stars. Everyone loves your episode. When we ask, what is your favorite episode, everyone is like, the one with Lacey.
when are you getting lazy back so thank you so much for coming back thank you thank you for having me back yes we was locked in i remember the wedding shenanigans uh and now i'm living them myself oh you know you know i feel like every person reaches a certain age and it's like depends on whatever your friend group is like where everyone just starts getting married at the same time so i'm in that like wedding bachelorette wedding bachelor baby baby yeah yes
Yes, yes, I feel that. So you and I were both on the very first season of Normal Gossip, which was nine whole seasons ago. We are now in season 10. And I wanted to ask, has your relationship with gossip changed at all since then?
No, I think I had a great relationship, to be honest. Like, things are really going steady over here. We're about to, you know, reach our third anniversary, you know, been getting teased, you know, since the playground. Had my Capri Sun and was ready to stab a hole in that bitch, okay, because I wanted to know what was going on. Yes. I think I had a good principle established. As long as it's like you tell me something messy, if I really need to tell somebody, I'm going to tell somebody 10 states away who's never met you and never will. You know, that's how I keep my gossip alive without getting caught. Exactly.
Who is Laci Mosley and why is she guesting on Normal Gossip again?
I call that operational security where you have to make sure. That's fancy. Your shit is on lock. I don't need things getting back to me.
I love that. But the way that you've phrased it now feels like I've had like a therapy session and like, no, no, no, no. This is healthy what I'm doing. I need to tell your business to my homegirl in Jersey because it's a part of my healing process. Now I feel like a toxic man who went to therapy. I'm just going to leave with all the phrases and just be using them wrong. I just feel like you're gaslighting me when you ask me to do my laundry. You know what I mean? It's like you're standing right next to the washer. Like you should do it.
Lacey, I'm watching Love Island right now. And I'm just like, these men have learned. too much and also not enough nothing nothing but enough for a 22 year old to really be out here in these streets i was like y'all got this the words popping exactly they're like you know what i love you know black women i love to you know i love to be soft i love i love to take care of my woman soon as a baddie light skin come in this man flying off his seat i feel blessed oh
