FEUD: CAPOTE VS. THE SWANS Episodes 1-3 | I Don't Like Truman Capote! 

Ohh my God, I am living for you doing Truman Capotes"s voice! And yes Diane Lane is fabulous! 😊

I'm a little embarrassed at how excited I was to see you covering this show!

“That’s what happens when you drink water and you mind ya business.” 😂😂

p.s. Still howling at the line that, "you can't run a conglomerate if your yam is in the street like that" lmao

Girl when you said you want “this I want this for us Cousins “ I hollered AMEN

And here I thought I was the only other woman who thinks Diane Lane is so awesome and beautiful. To be clear I am a yam only kinda gal but have always loved her. I loved her as a Cherry in The Outsiders from A LONG TIME AGO. I am watching this and it’s ok but I get bummed when I see Treat Williams… God bless his soul. He passed away about a year or so ago. Very shocking. But, this show is going to be messy and I’m here for it. Truman grew up in New Orleans with his aunt and grandmother. His mother supposedly ran off with a man or something and couldn’t care for a child like she should.i could be wrong so don’t come after me, please.

Elle: Girl! I don’t know why I said that. Ain’t no girls in here. Me: Girl! We right here. Hello! 😂

Girl! The Swans are what we WISHED the Sex and the City reboot was!!

"Always has a pillbox hat on deck!" I'm dead. So glad you are recapping this show. And your Capote voice is spectacular!

Your impersonation of Truman is so accurate! I cannot stop laughing! P.S. (And I'm about to date myself, here😄) I'm a fan of Diane Lane, too. I first saw her in, "A Little Romance".

LOL I am so with you on feeling like I was made to be a NYC kept woman... but alas must've been in another life

Cuz now this messiness was really good. Truman was in charge of the gworls!!!!!!! Baby if Truman wasn’t social media and Real Housewives before his time!!!!! I said damn!!!!

I don’t know which is more entertaining, the actual show or your retelling of it. Glad I found your channel!

Cuz, I been waiting for you to get to this show. I am loving it so far but it is right up my alley because when my black ass was a teen, I was into fashion and so many of Capote's swans were all time style icons. Like the actresses are all great and beautiful and yet don't even capture the level of beauty and style of these women, especially Babe. Babe/Barbara was raised to marry well. Her mother raised all of her pretty daughters to have style, wit, and charm to land rich husbands and man did they ever(her maiden name was Cushing and her and her sisters were known as "the fabulous Cushing sisters"). Babe was on the international best dressed hall of fame list and basically is an all time style icon. Bill was her second husband and his roots were a lot less posh then hers and even though he founded CBS and was one of the most powerful men in America, for all his wealth, some still sneered at him because he was Jewish. One bit of extra context on the Happy affair is that Happy was already notorious(sing it like the Biggie track). She had been married but in the late 1950's she volunteered on Rockerfeller's campaign for governor. She was married at the time with four kids, he was 18 years older than her with a family as well. She ended up his private secretary after her won. They ended up having an affair and left their respective spouses for each other. It was a big scandal and many thoughts the divorce was what messed up Rockerfeller's presidential run in 1964. All to say these people were messy as hell. To say nothing of Calista playing Lee Radziwill- Jackie O's little sister. Jackie and Lee had a messy relationship for many reasons including the billionaire Aristotle Onasis leaving Lee for Jackie(and marrying her). These people are a whole mess. But I guess if you don't have to worry about your bills, you got time for the scandal.

Oh thank goodness I was praying you’d be covering this series & as always Cousin does NOT disappoint!! Nothing cheers up my day like a video from my favorite girl!! No one can make me laugh till my sides hurt like you can! I absolutely LIVE for your videos! 🔥🔥

Omg, A charcuterie board! 🤣😂🤣 You make me laugh so much! Chitty Chitty BangBang was a kid's movie, about a flying car, fyi.

There is a documentary on Hulu about Capote. He was really an interesting man. They said that he was friends/neighbors with Harper Lee as a child and the character in To Kill a Mocking bird (the next door neighbor) was based on him.

Cousin! I am so glad that you have decided to review this! I have such mixed feelings about this series. I have loved other films about Truman Capote Iike “Infamous.” But this show is just so depressing. Still the clothes are so beautiful and the actresses are amazing. Naomi Watts, as Babe Paley, is terrific. So is Diane Lane and Chloe Sevigny. I just wish we saw Calista Flockhart more. Molly Ringwald is practically non-existent. Your imitation of Truman is spot on!

I have loved Diane Lane since a Little Romance.

Eliza Dolittle is the character from "My Fair Lady", Holly Golightly is the character from "Breakfast At Tiffany".

"I would go to that restaurant all the time...cause if dem bishes gonna cut up like dat???" 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I am soo happy you covering this. Cause the mess is so tasty messy

I believe his mom abused him and he sees himself in BangBang and her son.

I fell all the way out at your impression. I swear he needs subtitles😂

“Don’t throw a rock and hide your hand”!!! I haven’t heard that since my mother used to say that I’m glad people are using that. I missed you so so much btw ….havent watched this series yet but I can’t wait :)

Cousin!! I’m still Tak-A-La from Mardi Gras and I’m trying to watch all 3 episodes to hear your review!!! This show is for the cousins 😂

OMG your Capote imitation is freaking hilarious. He was one nasty little queen. lol I love Breakfast at Tiffany's but I also love Audrey Hepburn. It's a very good movie except for Mickey Rooney playing an Asian man, yeah they did that shit back then. They did make it a very Hollywood love story with a happy ending. The book was quite a bit different, they very much downplayed she was a hooker(hey that's what they called them lol). His non fiction book In Cold Blood was a huge hit which is what put him on the map. But he really didn't write that much because he was too busy drinking and being a little bitch but he was a good writer. I do love the movie Murder by Death that he was in; it's a comedy about all the greatest detectives invited to a weekend thing. The guy playing him in this has him down exactly including that annoying voice. Most everything so far really did happen but those brothers didn't do a documentary about the Ball. But they did do interviews with him at one point in his life. You need to find the real pics of Babe's apartment in New York. And there's an interview with Candace Bergen talking about going to the Ball. Looking forward to the next one... I have to watch ep 4 now.

I didn’t know how much I needed this channel in my life. 😂

A Charcoocherie board if you will.

9mg haha I can't with Truman's voice either. Omg you were spot on. Had me cracking my butt up

Best show this season, chitty chitty bang bang was a reference to a movie. A movie, double feature, two movies was 25 cents in the 1960’s

There's a little documentary on Hulu about Truman that gives insight & there are a couple videos on RU-vid that talk about the real life swans that are very informative. From what I can tell so far this show is doing a really good job & Tom Hollander is doing such an accurate Truman Capote it's scary!

I cannot stand it when Capote says "baby"

Girl u would LOVE Breakfast at Tiffany’s - iconic ! Girl this show sent me down a rabbit hole too- watching documentary’s and reading Wikipedia. I’m here for this show and the true stories yasssss! The clothes, the decadence, the bougie-ness, the mess! LOL

Chitty Chitty Bang bang was a great kid's movie in early 70s

12:49 I'm on the floor🤣🤣🤣

Truman is truly annoying and one of the shadiest people I have ever seen but he's not the only one who's trash in this show. Episode 4 was an eye opener but I won't spoil it for anyone. Now, why did I think that Demi was Jessica Lange all the way up until Jessica actually appeared? How she just stole that lady whole face? 😂

Your truman impression PLEASE 😂😂

THIS IS GOING TO BE PERFECT!!!!!

You had me crying laughing 😂😂😂😂 I'm subscribed now!!!

Cyanide used to be used in photoprocessing and in wine making. I think it was easier to get it back then. But yes, I thought the same thing! Cheers

Oh, I am SO glad to see you recapping this one 😂

So unbelievable I found someone of color ..comments on The SWANS....I'm on ep..4 so much has been revealed on this Ep...I just found a friend 😊

I have been infatuated w Diane Lane since "Outsiders " and "Rumblefish" always thought Diane and Matt Dillon would be the perfect couple.

Did you say” boonopolis?” . Cause I’m SO taking that. Thanks

Here’s the cast: Truman Capote (Tom Hollander) Babe Paley (Naomi Watts) Slim Keith (Diane Lane) C.Z. Guest (Chloë Sevigny) Lee Radziwill (Calista Flockhart) Ann Woodward (Demi Moore) Joanne Carson (Molly Ringwald) Bill Paley (Treat Williams) Jack Dunphy (Joe Mantello)

My lungs and liver HURT so much from watching this show. lol. Girl. You had me ROLLING.

Ahh! I love your commentary and I love this show and I love Answered Prayers!

If they do it to OTHERS. They will do it to YOU!!😬. Tru Tru I am about to Pull Up🤣🤣. Come with me to WALK my horse 🐎😂. Ghost momma😂. Ascension into society🤩😭. Truman was able to do what his mother wasn’t able to be a part of the high society!

That's exactly what I thought about this show being designed for me!

I LOVE your reviews and SO HAPPY you are reviewing Capote and the Swans!!Truman is a mess..😮

Cuz do the series recap please 🙏🏾I already watched the whole thing. 😹I just love the way you commentate it.

Calista Flockhart is my favourite. Was a big fan of Allie McBeal. I cannot get access to this show right now, but there’s no better way to watch than to listen to you😊

I am so glad to have found your channel. I love good storytelling and you are A+. This Capote vs the Swans story is indeed messy and I am here for the whole trainwreck. I can’t wait to hear you dish on episode 4…Slim 😳🫢 #newsubscriber

Love that lip color! 💋

Hey cousin!! I, too, am late to the party b/c I just learned about this series last night so THANK YOOOU!! for the recap!! The cast is phenomenal and I'm loving the show so far! Truman Capote was the epitome of "If you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me." 😂He was a southern fried, jealous, Valium poppin', 2faced, alcohol soaked queen with a knack for storytelling. I hollered when John started hacking that turkey. He's psychotic trade that cuts poultry like one😭 Babe was a fashionista that married community peen 🤣Bill was so self-centered that he didn't notice that Happy was on her period. Like sir, you saw and smelled NOTHING?! 😂 As for the cyanide pills, I learned those were given to CIA spies to take to avoid interrogations if they were caught. Considering the wealthy have access to any pills and potions they want, no surprise that Ann Bang-Bang got her hands on some. She was right for telling Truman that he will learn was his own poison will taste like. Thank you again for this entertaining recap and I will check ep. 4 today!

The reason there was no cover set was every guest was white 35 plus and only heard music like the Supreme s was when they walked past the laundry downstairs:( sad but true

Andy didn’t have hair, I know you know he wore a wig.

Diane Lane is the most perfect woman in the world, not problematic at all. !!! Elle, you are the absolute best. hysterical

It makes you feel like your right there with them plus that New York apartment I need

I'm probably not going to watch the show but i will definitely watch your reviews!! 🤣😁

Cuz! You never was traumatised by the Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!???!!!!! You have led a charmed life!!!! Google if you dare… double dog dare ya. Child Catcher 😮

‘I’m a Mother’ 😂😂😂😂 No yam in mouth chat allowed❤

I cant watch it yall damn so iam here old Hollywood is my thing 😊❤

ok. now i need to watch this series

This show wasn’t even on my radar but it is now! When you did Truman’s mumble mouth I almost died laughing!!!

Honestly? Breakfast at Tiffany's is worth the watch, cousin 💕 I highly recommend a Hepburn phase in your future. Audrey AND Katherine thoroughly ate their era of film, for real 👍🏾

OMG, I am so glad I found you! Hilarious and fun! I love your lipstick, it looks like velvet. Beautiful.💜💜💜💜

Damn that was alot of jewelry.😢

Truman was def. hateful…Harper Lee gave him acknowledgments in her book. At the time that she helped him with his book In Cold Blood, Harper was already a massive success, she really helped him… He did not really acknowledge her help in his book.

Girl not we gonna call’em. Ducks!!🦆 🦆🦆😂😂😂😂

Have you watched the other season? I started watching a few days ago, and it is so so good.

Truman capote one will say was evil, but he had a messed up childhood, and when you dont have stable parenting and you are not shown right from wrong and taught to have a good moral compass ,you get a messed up adult

Yes!! You’re watching this!!! Upper East side women are a TRIP! They are a very different breed (if you know you know). Also us New Yorkers can ease drop very quietly 🤣. That’s why you didn’t see people listening in the restaurant. We pretend we are doing other things like reading or eating but trust we all in your conversations. The Truman imitation 🤣🤣

Bath house🙈! Nooooo🍠.

I came back for a rewatch and a comment. I first watched this at 7am and was lmao but crying with church giggles cuz my kids were asleep 😂. Your impression of Truman was hilarious 🤣 ❤

I had to pause several times so I can laugh. I didn’t wanna miss next sentence. 😂😂😂😂

This is ridiculous. Goofy, even. *hits thumbs up*

💗 Love! Adorable!

You are hilarious 😂

Just found your channel. You are the review, I did not know I needed! Love it! Hit the subscribe button soo fast!

I have watched entirely too much game of thrones and sons of anarchy and breaking bad because I’m the same way about killing fictional characters.

I read that book that was the cause of the problems. I can't remember what it said.

Hey cuzzin ❤

Givenchy.....

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.

sneaky, sneaky, sneaky

OMG, ElleBee! Your impression of Capote was spot on. I laughed until I cried.

Thank you!

I HATED the constant time jumping. It’s like let’s stick to one year do that and move on. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Ok listen I know im wrong for this sis but you are by far the best RU-vid review on tv series I had a question in the series interview with the vampire did you find it disturbing when the army soldiers where in the house and one of the solider was fucking the monkey .. is it me or was that some racist shit to a different degree .. forgive me sis I know this comment not supposed to be on this series review but I had to say something

You and Telf's wig sends me everytime!

Yessssss! So glad to see you!!!!

I'm So Excited!!! ❤

Thank you for doing this show! I watched the first couple of episodes and found it boring. It would have been a good 90-minute movie but they stretched it out to eight hours… too much for the story. I would much rather devote the time to laughing with your recaps!

👏🏽👏🏻👏🏽👏🏻🤍So funny❣️

He was simply awful!

The Swans ain’t “pulling up” as your urban sayings go. 💅The swans don’t believe in physical violence. Besides what’s worse than being persona non grata? No vip invites????!!!!

4:29 I'm a mother😂😂😂
