If there’s one media personality who’s bound to get our favourite celebrities spilling some tea, it’s Jason Lee. Over the years, the self-proclaimed “culture critic” has become close friends with some of the biggest names in the industry. Now that he’s got a new podcast of his own with REVOLT, he’s been tapping several of them to join him and dish about their personal lives.
The most recent episode arrived on DSPs earlier this week. It finds the host chatting with reality starlet Claudia Jordan and comedian Luenell. Throughout the two-hour-long episode, they touch on topics like locking lips with Donald Trump and the 49-year-old’s potential return to the Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Of course, some juicier topics came up in conversation too, such as the “mean girls” of Black Hollywood. “Gabrielle Union, if you’re watching this, I think you should come on the show and talk about it,” the former pageant queen addressed the Bring It On actress through the camera. Lee then points out that it’s unlikely we’ll see the Nebraska native sit in the hot seat and discuss past drama.
As the conversation continues, both Jordan and Luenell reveal that they’ve had past situations with Union that were never resolved. “It was so insignificant to her, that she would never even remember it,” the latter of the two guests shared. “But it was really f*cked up to me… Think like a man, why don’t you? That’s all Imma say.”
Lee then lists the names of a few prominent figures in Black Hollywood. “Terrence J? La La? Taraji?” all of them earning a “No” response from Luenell. “Hollywood’s not a friendly place sometimes,” Jordan interjects, leading to a debate about the members of the elite’s inner clique. According to the 63-year-old, her younger friend fits in with them because she’s conventionally attractive, whereas she’s left on the “outskirts” due to her unique appearance.
Throughout all of this, the Deal or No Deal model maintains that even with her looks, the inner circle doesn’t f*ck with her. However, she specifically showed love to La La and Taraji P. Henson, noting that there’s no shade between them. Rather, she feels animosity coming from Union, but didn’t want to specifically address the drama from decades ago.
Since The Jason Lee Podcast made its big debut last month, the host has been joined by guests like Cardi B, Blueface and Chrisean Rock. Additionally, he sat down with La La Anthony and Da’Vinchi. As expected, Lee asks plenty of juicy questions, and his co-stars don’t hesitate to spill major tea. For her part, the Invasion of Privacy rapper revealed where she was when finding out about Takeoff’s tragic passing.
During their episode, the Crazy In Love couple dished about Rock’s recent pregnancy announcement and previously leaked sex tape. Read what the BMF actors told Lee during their time on the show here. Finally, listen to Claudia Jordan and Luenell’s full chat below.
