Just an idea but hear me out: maybe you can invite all the ladies of The Real (original and the ladies that joined later on) to do an episode with you to talk about things they regret they said and their experience on the show. Also some fun moments y'all shared and things we don't know about. 👍🏾👍🏾♥♥
That’s how I grew up ! They could come to my house but I wasn’t allowed over to anyone else’s because my parents said I don’t know them or who is over there that isn’t right I’m the head.
I agree no sleepovers. My mom didnt let me either. Except once to a friends house n she only allowed it if my big sister could come with. So she sent both of us. She was 16 i was 12. My sister ended up leaving to with her bf and picked me up early the next day. Lesson here is dont trust your kids to sleepover. My mom dropped us off but we lived in NYC so her bf house was 1 train ride away. Also, a i had a similar experience to Adriennes mom. A family friend stayed with us for a month due to struggles financially. He slept in our living room and convinced me to watch movies with him one night. I was young and naive. Watching movies turned into him molesting me. I was too afraid to tell anyone bc i thought it was my fault for agreeing to watch movies with him. I wish i had spoken up about it. Thankfully he is no longer in our lives.
@@michelleelmore5533 I always find it funny, when I hear people say that. It’s the same exact thing your friends parents didn’t know what was going on in your parents home either.. the only difference is some parents are more trusting of others…
@@Essence56yes!!! That is so sketchy and suspicious to me. I have cut out people in my life that say and do stuff like that. Like what makes them more trustworthy than me? And why must everything be on their terms. Nope!
You girls have no idea the huge part you guys had in my life during those 10 yrs it was truly a blessing to have been able to sit and watch and get away from reality for an hr a day, I cried like a baby when the show ended, it does remind me of great times, thank you so much for the great memories.
Adrian I love you and I adore you but for me the feet are the ugliest part of the body, it doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman and I'm Dominican and raised in NYC but I don't cwith all my love 💖 for you and family hey I want you to know that when I saw you when your son was born that you told him I love you I love you and you made me cry like a baby that was so beautiful 💚 are about licking feet. It's just that friend I left you alone licking feet but neither 🤷 I'm surprised that you do it to your husband if it makes you happy 😄 hey be happy many blessings
I had postpartum depression with my daughter who is almost 11. I found The Real and when I had my son (now 8) it was my hour escape every morning. If I couldn't watch it at 11 I'd record it to watch during my kids nap time. It helped me with postpartum. It was a fun hour of light hearted daytime talk. I miss this show!!❤❤❤
Yes! I’d watch it with some coffee while my newborn was sleeping!!! Adrienne you deserve being a full time mom if that’s what your heart desires!! Blessings momma 🙏🙏
You should do a part 2 to this because there’s been a lot of gems, emotional moments, funny moments you dropped on the show that should be revisited. I think 10 years growing up on a show won’t fit into one video.
Girl. Ive been a fan of you since you were 14 years old. Take. The. Time. You can always make more money, time doesnt stop. Take the break, we will be here when you get back.
Hi Adrienne! Just want to mention that for a hearing impaired person being able to lip read/having subtitles is super helpful and I can’t really hear Lana when she’s off camera- love your show and would love to know what she is saying!
LOVE how you included Tamar 😍❤️ The additions were all great…but there’s nothing like that original 5❗️YALL made that show what it was. YALL grew it together, from the bottom. 🙌🏽
Agreed! The show was actually more enjoyable when Tamar was there. Again not taking away from the other hosts that joined later but tbh after she left the show could have just kept you four instead of adding other ppl bc the energy wasn’t what we were used to. Like the girl, girls vibe went out the window and i hated that but I still kept watching til the end but even now I still miss the original 5. There’s no soft, feminine, funny and diverse show out currently. You ladies were the moment and what we needed. You all were thee perfect balance and I loved that you all were Christians bc religiously you all have that in common and understands each other’s upbringing. The Real was the show that we didn’t know that we needed. ❤❤❤
As a fellow Ecuadorian, born in NYC- seeing you on television on such a broad platform made me feel SEEN! So, thank you for representing us, Adrienne ❤❤
I remember the time Adrienne said when she gets married and has children she will continue to be intimate with her husband everyday I want to know if she’s changed her mind 😂
Adrienne should make her own show here on her youtube channel where she discusses different topics regularly & sometimes with others. This would be for sure amazing & therapeutic & funny. Please consider it! 😊
I’m 25. I watched you on Disney Channel as a Cheetah Girl, then started watching the Real while I was in college. It was the Real that made me follow your RU-vid channel, and now I’m in love with XiXi/La Voute! Love everything you do Adrienne, from one Latina to another 🙌🏼
I Honestly miss The Real, it was just so authentic, honest and relatable to all types of people. But I can understand why everyone chose different paths…
The Real was an integral part of my growth from my later teen years into adulthood. The conversations “we” had together was so important, necessary and enjoyable. We had fun together but I also learnt a lot from all of the ladies, I resonated the most with you ❤️ love your growth ❤
Adrienne thank you for your transparency & vulnerability shown in this episode!! You’re doing great being a mommy & all the things!! Loved seeing how much you’ve evolved & grown over the years!
I just love how strongly she defends the sleepover topic because it was the same for me and I thank my mom everyday, now that I’m growing up I thank my parents for many things they didn’t allow me to do.
As a fellow Boricua 🇵🇷 so proud of A for being on a show for so long and showing us that Latinas got it 🥂🥂 and can make it above and beyond and nothing can’t stop up ❤
You were so iconic on The Real! Its such a trip watching old episodes and witnessing your growth. Please dont be so hard on yourself A, also I cant believe you dont have a therapist I could never imagine being famous and having no one to offload on!!
I rarely cried growing up. I became more emotional after my dad passed away when I was 20 years old. When my nephew was born I think I grew more compassionate as well. Now I'm in my late 30's and cry from almost anything. I miss the days when I wasn't emotional.
I started watching The Real as a teenager and now I'm a young adult, the advices from the show carried me🥺❤️. The relatability was unmatched. Even today, I still go back to watch the old clips😂, I can never get tired of The Real.
With my 3rd child I was finally able to be a sahm for the first 2 years. I felt so bad that i didn't get to have this type of time with my first two, but at the same time I feel so blessed to finally get to experience spending more time with all of my children. I now own my own business and create my own schedule around their schedule.
I remember when I started watching this show during my post grad single season and now a decade later you are married with a child and so am I. I feel like I grew up in my 20s to 30s watching you grow up to your wife and mother stage too. Its been beautiful. Thank you for sharing your heart and joy with this show. Continue to be blessed by God. 🙏🏾💛
This is gunna sound so corny but this show really saved me, it was an escape for me for a time where I was at my lowest, I would laugh, cry get riled up lol honestly such a great show and loved all you girls on it original or not 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I honestly loved watching The Real!! I watched from the first episode until the show ended!!! It was iconic!!! Hope that this show can come back in a similar way!! I absolutely loved your friendship with the girls of the show!!
Yesss!! I'm 40 and my daughter who is also my rainbow bby is 18mths. Since I've had her, my emotions are all over the place, I will cry for anything, especially how terrified I am of this world for my baby.
I’ve watched the REAL since high school and it is so crazy how much time has passed! I’ve always resonated with all of the ladies! So happy that you’re reflecting on everything and showing your growth ❤
The way she danced around that second question about going through phones when she thinks her romantic relationships are going too perfect was wild. That actually says a lot.
Adrienne, I say this with love: take a break. However long that break is doesn’t matter. He’s growing at a rapid pace and you can’t get missed moments back. Your fans will support you whenever you decide to peak out here and there💜
Seeing A so vulnerable just gave me a new perspective on her. I see her as such an amazing and confident person, that in a way it feels so relatable to know she has insecurities and struggles as well. I know we all do but hearing her being so opened just make me feel less lonely ❤
The best episode! Thank you for also doing your faith and familia series it has been such a comfort!!! Would love to know more about how you feel about music & singing especially now becoming a mother! ❤
The last topic about your motherhood, that resonated with me so much. I felt like I waited an eternity for my time of motherhood, and when it finally came I got such a short leave and my baby’s first year was almost ruined for me by the job I held at the time. I wish I had quit and taken the time to be with my baby. I hope one day to do that for a future baby, but it’s hard because the job I have now in very near perfect!
Y’all were my mentors during college fr I learned so much and put so many friends on who are now obsessed with The Real too. I can’t believe I’m 5 years post grad now lol I cried when the show ended. It’s because y’all were actually real, we felt it. Us millennials that watched the premier of Cheetah Girl’s 1 live in 2003 are your cheetah sistas for life sis. You stuck with us!!🤍
I loved the talk about "Firsts" because for me everything will be my first with a future husband. I dated someone who was divorced and had a child. I went back and forth about how I felt inside knowing he's literally done it ALL. But then I realized we can have our firsts together, or so I thought. Ended up breaking up with him because he was rushing to get engaged (after 3 MONTHS) and every conversation was about marriage and having kids. I had a traveling job at the time and he'd lecture me how I can't do that with kids. He'd tell me how expensive kids are (well duh you're paying child support) and how marriage is "hard work" and we could have a simple small wedding in a backyard bc they are expensive. I kept trying to explain to him I shouldn't have to cut my wedding down to a cookout because HE already had the big wedding. I shouldn't have to use hand-me-down crib and baby items bc HE already had a kid. I shouldn't cut my dream of 3 kids and he just wanted one more bc he already had a kid. He could not understand that. So in the end, though a nice guy, I had to end it. So like Adrienne said, you can have those firsts with someone with experience, as long as they are excited about it with YOU and not hang it over their head that they've been there, done that.
Loved this episode. Watching the real got me through my postpartum days struggling with ppd and just the struggles of being a stay at home mom with a husband who travels a lot. You ladies were my friends in my head during a time I felt very isolated. Thank you for your openness and sharing your growth with us.
i told my fiancé that i wanted to throw my phone away and disappear because people just aint it sometimes... and i still feel that way but im trying to come out of that fomo mindset. Especially because there's so many things i have yet to experience. It just hard so i feel you on that A! Soon and Very soon!
Being a working mother is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Sticking a balance between bringing income and being there for your child is near impossible. Thank you for your honesty, and I pray that God gives you clarity on how to navigate everything.
Love this Adrienne. Therapy is really helpful. It’s so important to have someone you trust that can be your safe space. You gotta try more than one therapist sometimes to find a right fit.
Adriennes fear is so valid I think it’s the most common one amongst working moms. My mom had the best of both worlds she’s a psychologist so being self employed she was always there for us but also was able to provide with my dad too but I think that balance is what’s key. So maybe seeing which jobs or projects are the most lucrative could be what you stick to doing and putting one or two on hold if possible and see if that gives you more of a fulfilling schedule
Adrienne you are so multitalented you could add all kinds of variety to a podcast. I remember you singing on The Real a few times and I enjoyed your voice. Most of you ladies had singing, acting and hosting talents. Wish you all could do a fun special here and there.
That motherhood maturity is the real glow up Adrienne! The currency of time with your kids is priceless and those sleepovers are A NO for my son and daughter. Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable.
You 5 girls helped me a lot through my twenties !! I can’t even explain… I’m from France and the show never aired in Europe… Until this day I’m known for being obsessed by those short RU-vid clips… all my friends and ex boyfriends would catch me watch and rewatch those clips, especially the first seasons. I had big sisters in my head during hardships, moment of joy, of confusion…
Adrienne, I’ve followed your journey since your days on Disney channel to your cameos on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, to your days on Empire Girls, to The Real and to now being a mom. I really learnt a lot from you on The Real. You always killed it with your fashion sense and definitely made me laugh out loud with your story break downs. The Real was my comfort show and I could relate a lot to your stories and that of the other ladies. Even though it has ended, I still watch the reruns on RU-vid. I hope you go on to better and bigger things ❤️✨
I can sympathize with you wanting to dedicate more time to your son. When I gave birth 13 years ago I only got six weeks of maternity. Although I was blessed to have my mother take care of my son while I was I work I felt I needed more time with him.
Adrienne you've been such an inspiration to me. I enjoy seeing how much you and Israel love each other. And knowing how long and the extent that you went through to become a mother is inspiring. Your perseverance is admirable.
It’s so wonderful to see you grow over these years. To see you becoming a mom and a wife has been a beautiful experience. Thank you for sharing your life with us ❤
I definitely miss The Real you ladies were amazing and also helped me view things in a different light. You ladies were so inspiring. SISTERS showed women impowerment. Always have each other's back and treasure those beautiful years you worked together 💗😘
I’m right there with you Adrienne. As a mama. 😭. I’d do anything to be able to stay home with my babies while they’re little but finances make it nearly impossible…. I try to just thank god for our blessings and really really be present in the moment and hug my babies and love on them as much as I possibly can. ❤️ You’re doing the best you can with what you have…. Take the time off if you can! It does go SOOOO fast. So so fast. Time doesn’t wait for anyone.
“Never be with someone who makes you feel small or dims your light” …such good wisdom and advice that I don’t think we always pay attention to when we are younger and captivated by people we want in our life. This advice applies to love relationships, friendships, family… never let someone make you feel small based on their ridiculous opinion. We can all learn and grow, but that does not require someone demeaning you just because they feel they can do so. It really breaks down your confidence, soul, and spirit more than you realize.
I absolutely never comment on videos but I am very grateful for you sharing your dilemma on setting boundaries. You have voiced something I have been feeling without being able to put my vinger on it. So thank you! You are doing a great job❤
It breaks my heart sometimes when she talks about her pain and her trauma from past relationships. I’m so happy you’re happy and loved now. Is really believed in her so hard she believes in herself as well.
This episode was great. You should do a “Love always Adrienne LIVE” show! You are so open with your Audience and I could see this being a really nice thing.
I can relate to the going from not crying to crying at everything. I think it changed when I got pregnant. I have seen the change in Adrienne also. I remember watching episodes of The Real and the other women were bawling and she would just sit there. I like this emotional honesty so much better.
Adrienne!! I think your son will be so proud of you when he gets older that he has such a strong and hardworking mother, you may not have stayed home with him like you wanted to but as a woman who did stay home and now entering a career life I wish I had started working years before so that I could be established at a younger age. You are amazing for all the things you are doing bc in the long run Ever will see the AMAZING woman you are all around❤️
9:34 For future videos, if Lana is going to be asking questions throughout the video please mic her or add captions of what she’s saying. The volume difference gets annoying at times.
This show was great. It was so different from other talk shows. You guys shared a lot about your lives and we felt like we knew you. I know you had a lot of judgment but I hope you know you had a lot of support as well. As a fan, I would love to see you ladies reunite and reminisce about your lives together. Praying for Jeannie and her baby. Being a mom has definitely made me tougher. I have to make a way for myself and my child and I don't have time for nonsense.
We met at The Real few years ago, I feel you are a big sister for me as you speak and share about several part of your life. I would love to interview you because of who you are. God bless you Adrienne and your family ♥ Sydney from Paris 🇫🇷
Just want you to know you’re the dopest & the fact that you are so concerned and untuned w being a good mom and wanting to be more hands on means you are an incredible mom. I hope u find more down time to take these moments in. You’re the best love you A
I didn’t allow my daughter to sleepover unless I slept over too. And I also welcomed moms to sleepover at our home if my daughter had a sleepover at our house. I didn’t want it to be a one way situation. I will say that I heard molestations typically begin within family/familial settings. It’s not always the weird brother of a friend, or the father down the street… Sometimes, it’s same gender cousins, siblings, aunts/uncles violating nieces/nephews, etc. We just have to stay prayed up! ***Can we please get Lana a mic the next time? We can’t hear her clearly. Lol.
Loved the show but i felt bad that ya'll didn't get to have a studio audience for the last 2 seasons of the show cause the studio audience was a vital part for a lot of the segments. Also was bummed that Tamera wasn't for whatever reason able to at least phone into the show on the last episode
I really miss the show! I will hold it dear to my heart forever. I appreciate the vulnerability of the co-hosts across the duration of the show. I enjoyed this reflection because we get to see how Adrienne has evolution in her thoughts and opinions.
I hear a lot of mom guilt which is so real and validated. I pray you’re not so hard on yourself. I took a break for 2 years and enjoyed my time with my little one but as he got to his toddler years, it was really hard on me esp being in the pandemic. I missed adult friends and having work. Now, my kiddo is 4, and he wants friends and loves his little school. You’ll find that your baby is always in your life, and there’s going to come a flip side where you’ll miss the work. I would say listen to your heart and do what feels best in the moment. There are no wrong answers.
Heyyy Adrienne Happy Friday 😊😊 We missed you so much Man I miss The Real so much, Hopefully Fox is working on something similar soon Loved today's video ☺️☺️ I actually loved what you had to say all the time on the show 🥰🥰 Love Always ❤❤❤❤
18:40 when Lana was referring to the moment from years ago, the way my brain immediately recalled that moment is crazy 💜💜😂 literally loved this show too much 🎉🎉 cried so bad at the last episode 🥹🥹
amazing to hear you speak about how you’ve grown from your past relationships and can name the traumas you’ve been through. love that you have found your person ❤️
Maaan I miss this show😞. I always felt like I was listening to my close girlfriends talking💖. Missed Tamar too when it became a foursome. She had that attitude honey, that alter-ego I keep suppressed 🤣. Loved each one of the ladies 💖and I’m so happy to see you so happy Adrienne, 💖💖.
Attachment therapy studies have opened my eyes. I really wish you the best and hope you find peace and make the decision that's best for your family. Personally we're working on living off one income until school years start, cause I have to be present, I will have and had so much time to live my life after my kids are older. I can't have this time back ❤
I am in my emotional era too girl, I think motherhood did it for sure but also the past years having gone through so much it's just coming out in many ways. As our relationship with God grows too adds that factor of gratitude and praise and just being able to see the beauty in daily things... those tears come flooding out 🙌
This was soooo transparent and good. There’s a season for everything… so maybe this next season is just meant to be simpler and more quiet than the ones before. And that’s soooo ok! It’s actually beautiful. We love and support you, A!
