I love how she compliments his staff, it's so cute. Unprompted, unasked, just threw it out there. She's great.

@@MrJBA79and she took accountability and realized she was wrong and advocated for people to go vaccinate yet the media didn’t show that did they?

[@MrJBA79]

But you can't fix stupid. Certainly not with fame or a perfume-line. Anyway, I wasn't being facetious, I was asking what Yurie found brave about her. Is it her overcoming the public humiliation of her own ignorance or did she overcome something else that I'm unaware of. Either way I think that you guys need to pick better role models to hoist up onto a pedestal with terms like "bravery". I just don't see it. @@willthomas1342

[@TilishaG]

Definitely has guts marrying a registered $3x offender and defending her brother who was convicted of the most horrendous thing regarding his 11 year old stepdaughter, writing to tell the judge that regardless of the crime her brother is the kindest, most wonderful person. I can’t believe people are so chilled about it…

[@DemonDarakna]

I'm not much of a fan of Nikki's music (the genre just isn't for me), BUT I saw her last time with Colbert and she seemed talented, maybe a bit awkward but hiding it well. NOW she truly is holding herself like a queen who gets annoyed by the incompetence of her subject Colbert and I'm really glad she grew into her role so well. She is really charming in a way most queens are (like Dolly Parton, Dame Judi Dench, Helena Bonham Carter etc.) Love the glow of her.
