Never thought I'd see Nelly Furtado on The Breakfast Club. As a Canadian she's made me proud by making great Pop music and being herself

[@BirdLadySpeaks]

For someone who says he “advocates” for mental health, he never seems to be very empathic to their issues or really knows how to deal with them. I love how Loren listened, followed her, and asked the right questions. Even though Nelly was all over the place Loren still showed her active listening skills. Love that!!!! 💛💛💛💛

[@Sunfl0w33r]

Yeah, he always projects his own feelings on the matter and kind of criticizes how someone handles THEIR mental health like he’s some kind of expert.🙄

[@toml2951]

In this interview he seems unaware of how ADHD causes a person to come across. I’m sure he’ll learn more moving forward.

[@freddied8479]

Without knowing that, I thought she might have autism. Because of how she's not looking at people while she's talking, and just her behaviour in general

[@kohort1]

​@@freddied8479this is not what autism looks like. I know it's a wide spectrum. But this isn't it. She's definitely hyper active, and I know she says she's doesn't do drugs, and I believe her, but she does sound like she's on some kind of upper like yayo, meth, or x.

[@r.johnson1170]

Charlamagne "The Mental Health Specialist/Advocate" can't somehow be empathetic towards someone with inattentive ADHD smh.

[@BirdLadySpeaks]

THANK YOU!!!! I thought it was just me who felt this way. 💛💛💛💛

[@CruiseControlM3]

He lied and said he didnt hear, then goes on to say he blocks out people when he's bored.

[@r.johnson1170]

​@@BirdLadySpeaks No it wasn't just you. I just wish people would stay in their lanes and not adopt a persona or expertise if they're not really about it. Her energy was a lot...but she has ADHD. A MH advocate would have known how to adapt and not make the person feel guilty for energy that they can not control. But instead he made his uncomfortability known and mocked. Therefore, I don't want to hear him speak on MH ever again. I don't even have a MH issue nor am I an advocate, but I am empathetic...which is something he clearly isn't.

[@r.johnson1170]

​​@@CruiseControlM3She said loud and clear at the beginning that she has ADHD as he sat right next to her. Idk between him providing a platform for Andrew Schulz which snowballed into the James and Fuhad controversy, I might join the Take Mics from Men movement.

[@BobbyJames-yc6kc]

Because he just talks. To me only 34% of what he says has substance

[@eddieimfamous]

It's crazy how this interview came out the blue. I just recently got into Nelly Furtado and had no idea she had ADHD. She has great energy and nothing but positive vibes. Dope artist.

She is not on cocaine. Look at an old video interview, she has always been this way. Some people are hyper active and fidgety especially 70s and 80s babies.

[@WilliamsPinch]

Adderall

[@kohort1]

​@@WilliamsPinchAdderall is funny though. I think for people who are truly ADHD, it focuses them and calms them, but for people who aren't hyper , it would make them hyper. Also, I could see maybe that someone who's off their meds might exhibit pronounced symptoms. I don't know for sure, but I just dated someone on it.

I’m glad they kept the interview going and allowed her to find her way through her thoughts 🫶🏾

[@kay_lewis]

I’m so glad Nelly came on this platform and showcased the other side of mental illness. She’s so cute bless her. I think society has normalised and accepted the hidden mental illnesses like depression and anxiety. So when we see people with other struggles we don’t know how to receive them and comfortably interact.

@@ocampbell1954CTG is literally damn near BFFs with Jess. CTG has the power. I am almost 100% he has the final say on who gets hired. It’s no different than the NBA, NFL, Major Corps…the star player/powerful boss usually gets the final say so on trades, drafts, leaders, etc. even though the executive bosses cut the check. CTG is the star. He has the power. This is indisputable.
