Lemmy believes that saying a show is a hit show negates the fact that these shows are still overly violent and a negative depiction of who we are as a people. Says a lot about his character
But if you are a destructive person and choose to monetize your own dysfunction without regard for how you make your culture look then it says more about yourself. All Lemmy is doing is recording, editing and posting. The morons provide and PAY TO WATCH his footage. Like you can’t stop racism right? Racists will wear anti-race shirts they find…I would sell them the shirt and take their dumb ass money because whether I sell it or they make it themselves, they will express their hate regardless. I would rather get paid either way rather than sit on the sidelines complaining.
She’s talking about how charla used to be 10 years ago , but at the same time she’s still the same person she was 10 years ago loud annoying and entitled
Yes and this is one time I'm feeling Charlamagne, He speaks for us who thinks like the majority of people. The focus of negativity amongst these mostly women is too much. This show may help many people works but at what costs, tearing down what has repeatedly torn down by other races and Lemmy BS#*NG about those other shows because he knows he nor his team is interested in anything positive, if so why is this show provocatively angered on every episode.
zeus is particularly special because of its fast turn around time from them recording to the show premiering. nobody wants to wait 6 months to a year to see a show premier when we see half of the story lines play out on social media. we wanna see it while the tea is piping hot!
Him having Natalie there helped this interview a lot I don’t think he would have survived it alone. Additionally, he has a point that everyone knows what they’re signing up for. We’re forgetting that many of us come from the era of flavor of love, real and chance etc. a lot of his shows are spin offs to hit tv shows that once existed. Everybody acting like they’re so much better than the media we once consumed. It’s their lives not ours lol. Their reality is not my reality
Just because they know what they’re signing up for does not mean that his statement actually answered the question all of those shows that you’re saying we’re spinoffs we did not see this type of stuff happening on them and I’m sure you can attest to that Regardless of this this being their lives, do you want your daughter or son to grow up acting like them because these are the type of people that are being idolize right now and this is the type of drama that they’re promoting. There are so many different types of drama, but this is the violent type they promote. and it’s always Black people I hate that for us.

Lem isn't the first and wont be the last.
Lemmy basically said, without saying, that because his network is self funded, he is targeting volatile, toxic individuals in an effort to capitalize off of that energy, in order to make a quick chunk of change at the expense those people. And some of them, he tosses an EP title to in order to make them feel better about perpetuating the narrative of the negative representation of black people. And Natalie saying that she has matured, yet she is promoting the same toxic behavior from 10 years ago is crazy. The only difference now is that Lemmy gave her an EP title. Girl, you are a grown, married woman with a whole child still walking around talking about being a bad girl. Honestly, it’s disgusting.
The man could’ve said his network does bring down the “Black community” and it wouldn’t make a difference. People will still support it and we know it.
Why are black people the only ones that have to perfect on tv because if they’re not then somehow they represent all black people you don’t see that for other raced
Draya show was postive. It wasn't a bunch of fighting, it showed her making boss moves and people didn't watch. They called it boring. So its not just the network,its the people as well.. The network is giving what people wanna see. 🤷

This young man, regardless of how well spoken he is, like every other executive, is not concerned about perception, but on how much money he’s making form the violence on his platform. It’s sad that It’s all about “securing the bag” until someone gets seriously injured or dies on one of these mindless shows. Don’t worry about what HBO did, and any other networks do to make money do better! Why do we have to wait for the worst case scenario. Smh! Disappointing.
I feel we’re you’re coming from.. but where’s the accountability on the cast members? They quite literally sign up to go on TV and show out.

I don't think people watch Baddies because they resonate with the cast or because they love the "realness". Let's be honest. People watch it because it's entertaining. It's similar to Romans watching gladiators fight in the Colosseum. Viewers just want to see fighting and Lemmy is making money from the uncivilized, ratchetness of these people. But everyone is a willing participant so it's whatever. Go ahead and make the money I guess.
@@johnkeylewinsky Ryan Jenkins #RIPJasimeFiore that was so shocking and it's sad no one In these reality show circles brings it up because that was when reality shows her first getting big, everybody had to spin-off off of spin-off. flava of Love started the whole thing 😂

@@Nicki9235I see you’re a chinyin standing for your crescent chinned queen. This is the same women who gets clout and popularity off of being mean to other women. Didn’t she just fight her so call bestie AGAIN on an episode? 😭 y’all are a trip
He has that "I'm the CEO, but I take no responsibility because our shows are real and raw" vibe. And comparing a company like Zeus that's been around for 5 years vs HBO that's been around for 52 years is BS! And saying you don't exploit your talent is true. They exploit themselves. You are just getting paid for their buffoonery!!!
Real Sex was actually educational. HBO documentaries each have a story to tell. Zeus focuses on uncensored drama and violence, and he knows that. That's the main driving force. He knows that and exploits it because he understands that people crave that material. It's unfortunate that it always ends up being carried out by black and brown people.
10:40 I know Zeus is pursuing Erica Mena, for a show. They don't strike-me as the type to care about her calling a Black person a monkey. If anything, they'll be like "next time say Silverback; it's more controversial." 😂😂😂
Natalie just confirm that Lenny is not just the CEO but involved in EVERYTHING Zeus! Meaning that he is the one pushing the terrible fighting, and all that stuff that goes on.
Not to exclude this man from accountability about what programs he green lights. But the truth is, he can put out 5 positive shows and a large number of people will not watch. The eyes will always be on negativity. It’s a business!
Well yeah because people inherently attracted to something that they don’t see often or are in their face going against being civilized, it’s just human nature but doesn’t mean that it’s a excuse to film all those types of violence and exploit it for money… people do it anyways but doesn’t mean it right
Yes, we live in a capitalistic society, everybody is after the 💰 as long as they are making money they will continue to put out the content that brings in the cash. Every business does this.
Lemmuel gives culture vulture. You can tell he sat inside his whole childhood and this is the closest he can feel to being “in the mix” or being part of the streets he’s exploiting for his own entertainment and identity issues.
Someone in the comments said his father owned a gospel tv station. That might explain it. He might be a church kid. As a church kid myself, that’s no shade.
True but Other networks have been doing that for years including a network he use to be on mtv . only difference is it’s a black man at the top getting the check this time. I rather it be 1 of us profiting if someone gonna profit
@@Numb2Fearthat’s true! The ONLY thing is when it’s US putting it out there it’s almost like we are co signing the stereotype that’s put on us! It’s like “ yea that’s how we act “ 🤷🏾♂️😂
They let this man TALK CIRCLES around them 🤬😤 I would have PRESSED HIM and said, “outside of Natalie, how have you positively effected anyone’s life that came off of your show?” And I would not have let him answer any other way.
He answered the questions the best way. He highlights reality tv. It just so happens that the shows that take off are the ones that are ratchet. As he mentioned, Draya had a reality show and no one watched it fr.
@@findyourloveheyhey I really need you guys to use reasonable thinking in this regard. When we are talking about “positively affected and/or elevated someone”, i’m not referring to someone who has to continue coming back on the show to fight and engage in the same antics. I’m thinking in regards to how Cardi B and K Michelle used love n hip hop as a stepping stool to launch their music careers. And I don’t follow Rollie, so I honestly can’t speak on her. I was simply referring to a question that they could’ve asked him to demonstrate the effectiveness of his show in a positive way on the black community.
@blackgirlinadoggoneworld all money ain’t good money. Believe me. This won’t last long. Lawsuits will come. If those people wise up. And he already have SA allegations out. So. Yeah.
Also Natalie has grown and knows how to act accordingly! If you follow her then you would know she can get into it with someone one day and be around them the next because she all about her business. We all have one major goal regardless of where we work and that’s to take care of ourselves and our families!
I'll have to agree. She annoyed me until Rollie kept saying Natalie only does this for money. So I started watching her interviews and lives and saw a different side of her. After that, I'm now able to differentiate her doing anything to make a good show vs her actual character.
@@kyjuan89she makes money and knows there’s a time and place for things. Look how well spoken she was in this interview. She’s doing better than the every day people that I know in my life. Not everyone on BGC was able to take their career as far she has. I couldn’t even stand in front of a camera without looking quirky. She’s much more talented than 90% of the people who even talk about her. I mean how are you doing in life? I don’t think I even make 20% of what Nathalie makes.
@@Theothersidebondyeshe makes money by doing illegal sh!t on camera like battery assault and physical violence which are crimes at her big age but let’s APPLAUD that! I love your thought process love 💕 I think we all should get far that way!!! YESSSSSS!!!! 😐
All skin folk ain’t ya kin folk. He simply doesn’t care. He has a plan for himself and the network which we are not aware of. Long money goes a long way and he has started to build major relationships
I like how Lemmy gives an answer without actually giving an answer and sort of just talks around the actual subject and somehow gets through and hour long interview without actually directly answering even one question that was asked. Lmao wtfffffff 😂😂😂
I love how he tried to overly “corporatize” the conversation in his dialect like he’s doing a good and genuine thing when meanwhile, he absolutely does nothing but capitalize off ignorance.
Q: "Is there anything that someone can do to get kicked off the show?" Lemuel for the 56th time: Our content is real. Our content is authentic. Our content is not censored. Baby, that can't be your answer to every single question.
I think he will eventually go more into toning down some of the fighting and ratchet shows but right now he's just giving the ppl what they wanna see and that's just No Tea No Shade Real⁉️🗣️💯
Love the interviews that shows more of who people are & how they speak. Gives the audience a chance to make our own decisions to support or not. Never knew he is from Michigan! 〽
These two take no accountability they know exactly what they are doing and that’s exactly why it’ll be a downfall because at least be authentic in what you do
Exactly, didn’t they ask him about that pregnant young lady smoking and drinking and his response was I wasn’t on the set . He never takes accountability and loves anything salacious because it drives sales.
He all over the place he knew he was coming into the belly of the beast why are you not prepared. When they say a balance you just mention more ratchet shyt. Balance is shows putting our people in a positive light more shows where we show us advancing and being positive creators. Hopefully dude can make that pivot because he seems smart but staying ability will be his problem.
Lemmy did what UA-camrs did during the pandemic, he just wanted to put out content that got views. He thought bigger than the UA-camrs that were coming up, he started his own platform. He had a wide variety of things to watch, and produced more content based on what got the most views. Its not his fault people only paid attention to the ratchet stuff on Zeus, he saw what made money and did it! Can't hate on his hustle. Blame the people that watch that ratchet mess, and make him rich!
Or you can just not subscribe to the content. No one is forcing anyone to watch the ratchet mess or pay for the subscription. People watch because they want to, so why get mad at the owner of the platform? No one shut down VH1 or anything Viacom for broadcasting the same content. No one shut down cable companies for allowing channels that display violence. So why be upset that this black man is getting rich using the same forumla? Ratchet situations will still be broadcasted, whether this man has it on his platform or not. @@Atribecalledsuccess
@@Atribecalledsuccess I used to watch bad girls club so The only thing that’s different is it’s uncensored. Then there’s love and hip hop. It’s censored though.
@@Atribecalledsuccess the fights are just apart of being on reality tv. They’ve been fighting since Jerry springer and The Real World days. It’s nothing new. 🤨
If she was smart she wouldn’t go to Zeus. Would be further trash up her image. She should go away for a good while and come back with changed behavior and stay around other Latin ppl and not in African American places.
The one question I would truly asked dude is “if you truly feel you not supporting the degradation of the black community if you have kids would you allow them to watch your show or even be on the shows”??? I bet you he would start stuttering and pan away from the question 🙃🙃
I was thinking the same thing. Do your kids or nieces and nephews watch your network? Or tv at all for that matter. They’re probably all home schooled vegans who don’t ingest what he sells
I love Charm calling out Lemy. He is behind the scene. He tries to hide and let Natalie take all the smoke. Stand on it. You are exploiting YOUR PEOPLE which makes a difference. Also the allegations cast members say about how the executives run things is a lot of red flags.
I have no regrets with my Zeus subscription, right into their pockets and I'm watching them rise through the ranks of fame, Kardashians are falling, whereas these girls are RISINGGG

I love how Charlemagne grilled them the whole time and had to make them stand on that stuff because we ain’t buying what they selling
His media training is solid as a rock. Got to give him and PR team that.😆
No or team, his father owned a readily and small tv station. It’s proof that we often never shy away from our upbringing
Yeah he’s real good at it .
Zeus network is the valley of degradation! Truly shows the worst of people!
Anytime I hear a show is on Zeus, I can't even force myself to watch.
Well damm
Right! This man Lemme loves to repeat over and over AUTHENTIC SELVES as if that's a valid justification.
I don’t even know how females can sit and watch that shit
“Valley of Degradation” a poet. Well said
I don't think people watch Baddies because they resonate with the cast or because they love the "realness". Let's be honest. People watch it because it's entertaining. It's similar to Romans watching gladiators fight in the Colosseum. Viewers just want to see fighting and Lemmy is making money from the uncivilized, ratchetness of these people. But everyone is a willing participant so it's whatever. Go ahead and make the money I guess.
Ppl don’t think of it like that but that’s so true. This been happening since the beginning of time.

@@johnkeylewinsky Ryan Jenkins #RIPJasimeFiore that was so shocking and it's sad no one In these reality show circles brings it up because that was when reality shows her first getting big, everybody had to spin-off off of spin-off. flava of Love started the whole thing 😂

No matter how many times I see Natalie on tv that side profile still is a jump scare. AHH
So mean it’s always women making other women feel insecure about themselves
What does this mean? What’s a side profile?
@@Freebands460the side view
@@Nicki9235I see you’re a chinyin standing for your crescent chinned queen. This is the same women who gets clout and popularity off of being mean to other women. Didn’t she just fight her so call bestie AGAIN on an episode? 😭 y’all are a trip
@@Nicki9235 and Natalie doesn’t? Girl bye
He has that "I'm the CEO, but I take no responsibility because our shows are real and raw" vibe. And comparing a company like Zeus that's been around for 5 years vs HBO that's been around for 52 years is BS! And saying you don't exploit your talent is true. They exploit themselves. You are just getting paid for their buffoonery!!!
Exactly
They all do lol no one said anything to the executives and ceo when jersey shore came out
@@ShortKingTheGoatit was toxic but you can count on one hand how there was between the cast
Real Sex was actually educational. HBO documentaries each have a story to tell. Zeus focuses on uncensored drama and violence, and he knows that. That's the main driving force. He knows that and exploits it because he understands that people crave that material. It's unfortunate that it always ends up being carried out by black and brown people.
I know he didn’t compare Zeus to Netflix and HBO 🤦🏾♀️😂
He tried it 😂😂
then tried to compare to HBO’s “real sex” series like it wasn’t popular way back in the 2000’s😭😭
netflix is racist
Zeus is #1 network next to BET+😂😂😂😂😂😂
Natalie inserts herself like “partner” means co-owner of Zeus. Partner means a collaboration of talent with the platform.
10:40 I know Zeus is pursuing Erica Mena, for a show.
They don't strike-me as the type to care about her calling a Black person a monkey. If anything, they'll be like "next time say Silverback; it's more controversial." 😂😂😂
Orangutan
I'm cryyying 😭😭😭😭😭💯💯

Okay now 😭😭😭😭😭
How does Charlamagne apologize for talking bad about her and proceeds to talk bad about her?
She deserves it
Joking growth she said he spoke about her 10 years ago catch up
Because what else do you do with trash?
Natalie just confirm that Lenny is not just the CEO but involved in EVERYTHING Zeus! Meaning that he is the one pushing the terrible fighting, and all that stuff that goes on.
Dude needs to be a politician
22:04 “what about in the winter, will you wear a Chinchilla?” Charlamagne must be stop 🤣🤣🤣😭😭
Not to exclude this man from accountability about what programs he green lights. But the truth is, he can put out 5 positive shows and a large number of people will not watch. The eyes will always be on negativity. It’s a business!
And it use to be a Christian network
@@sungaze342Yep. They had positive program but people didn't watch it
Well yeah because people inherently attracted to something that they don’t see often or are in their face going against being civilized, it’s just human nature but doesn’t mean that it’s a excuse to film all those types of violence and exploit it for money… people do it anyways but doesn’t mean it right
Yes, we live in a capitalistic society, everybody is after the 💰 as long as they are making money they will continue to put out the content that brings in the cash. Every business does this.
Thank you
“When ppl don’t see value in talent anymore…” WHAT TALENT?! What are they known for besides toxicity?! They literally fight all day, every episode!
The network being chaotic is what makes it entertaining I love this show
Only reason everybody watch it👍🏾😂😂let’s all be real 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lemmuel gives culture vulture. You can tell he sat inside his whole childhood and this is the closest he can feel to being “in the mix” or being part of the streets he’s exploiting for his own entertainment and identity issues.
This feels accurate 🤣
❗️
He definitely gives square vibes 😭 but I respect the hustle.
This!
Someone in the comments said his father owned a gospel tv station. That might explain it. He might be a church kid. As a church kid myself, that’s no shade.
I Love Charla 😂 Zeus do make us look bad & Natalee thinking they were booked & they weren't is a gag lmaooooo
True but Other networks have been doing that for years including a network he use to be on mtv . only difference is it’s a black man at the top getting the check this time. I rather it be 1 of us profiting if someone gonna profit
What about other networks tho ???
@@Numb2Fearthat’s true! The ONLY thing is when it’s US putting it out there it’s almost like we are co signing the stereotype that’s put on us! It’s like “ yea that’s how we act “ 🤷🏾♂️😂
@@Tyrone005 did other networks get an interview or the CEO of zeus? Yall dont think before yall speak. My statement was direct not general
@@Numb2Fear I really dont understand Your point either, refer to my comment above ^. Yall deflecting under my comment bad
They let this man TALK CIRCLES around them 🤬😤 I would have PRESSED HIM and said, “outside of Natalie, how have you positively effected anyone’s life that came off of your show?” And I would not have let him answer any other way.
He answered the questions the best way. He highlights reality tv. It just so happens that the shows that take off are the ones that are ratchet. As he mentioned, Draya had a reality show and no one watched it fr.
?? That’s an easy answer Rollie was literally in the food stamp office when she first got on Zeus have you seen her lately
@@findyourloveheyhey I really need you guys to use reasonable thinking in this regard. When we are talking about “positively affected and/or elevated someone”, i’m not referring to someone who has to continue coming back on the show to fight and engage in the same antics. I’m thinking in regards to how Cardi B and K Michelle used love n hip hop as a stepping stool to launch their music careers. And I don’t follow Rollie, so I honestly can’t speak on her. I was simply referring to a question that they could’ve asked him to demonstrate the effectiveness of his show in a positive way on the black community.
Who cares
I like how Natalie took it to the chin. She's a strong black woman.
I see what you did there 😭🤣🤣
JAIL 🤣🤣🤣😭😭
💀💀💀
🤭🤭🤭🤭
Yeah, she really handle that. Im sure she will continue to keep her chin up!
His energy gives me “I was bullied as a child but since I have Zeus I’m a big dog now”. Nah. You still Urkel my guy!
For real !
Lol it’s does
This! He is such a square
That’s what i was just thinking lol
@blackgirlinadoggoneworld all money ain’t good money. Believe me. This won’t last long. Lawsuits will come. If those people wise up. And he already have SA allegations out. So. Yeah.
Also Natalie has grown and knows how to act accordingly! If you follow her then you would know she can get into it with someone one day and be around them the next because she all about her business. We all have one major goal regardless of where we work and that’s to take care of ourselves and our families!
That’s not maturity. Her grown old ass wouldn’t be still “getting into it” with people as a wife & mother if she had changed sooo much
@@kyjuan89THANK YOU like it’s been a decade why are you still in the same circle of reality TV. Why are you still fighting lol
I'll have to agree. She annoyed me until Rollie kept saying Natalie only does this for money. So I started watching her interviews and lives and saw a different side of her. After that, I'm now able to differentiate her doing anything to make a good show vs her actual character.
@@kyjuan89she makes money and knows there’s a time and place for things. Look how well spoken she was in this interview. She’s doing better than the every day people that I know in my life. Not everyone on BGC was able to take their career as far she has. I couldn’t even stand in front of a camera without looking quirky. She’s much more talented than 90% of the people who even talk about her. I mean how are you doing in life? I don’t think I even make 20% of what Nathalie makes.
@@Theothersidebondyeshe makes money by doing illegal sh!t on camera like battery assault and physical violence which are crimes at her big age but let’s APPLAUD that! I love your thought process love 💕 I think we all should get far that way!!! YESSSSSS!!!! 😐
All skin folk ain’t ya kin folk. He simply doesn’t care. He has a plan for himself and the network which we are not aware of. Long money goes a long way and he has started to build major relationships
Take a shot every time he says “you know”.
The dude never has a good answer to defend his horrible platform .......he is ughhhh
Because you can’t defend it. It’s trash. He knows it but he’s making millions off of it; so it’s a go!
Ratchet shit sells to this new generation and he caters to it.
Very cringe
He should just say his end goal, I exploit women of color so I can get rich. There’s no other way around it 😂😂😂
I like how Lemmy gives an answer without actually giving an answer and sort of just talks around the actual subject and somehow gets through and hour long interview without actually directly answering even one question that was asked. Lmao wtfffffff 😂😂😂
I love how he tried to overly “corporatize” the conversation in his dialect like he’s doing a good and genuine thing when meanwhile, he absolutely does nothing but capitalize off ignorance.
Lordy their high numbers speak volumes about the state of our community.
People sign up to be on these shows and want to put their business out there for a check. Gotta hold both parties accountable.
Facts. Truth is if a black man wouldn’t have started Zeus a white man sure would’ve.
OR just live and let live.
I read there contract agreement just to register for an audition and it sounds like selling your soul to Zeus network. .
This may be the first interview I stop watching 3 minutes in.
I’m 7 mins and I’m about to be out
1 min 30 seconds. ✌🏿
For me 7:40 😂😂😂😂
:55 I win lol
2:21😂😂😂😂😂
Lenny : we are 5 years old
Charlemagne: well grown up Lenny
😂😂😂😂😂 why is he like this
Q: "Is there anything that someone can do to get kicked off the show?"
Lemuel for the 56th time: Our content is real. Our content is authentic. Our content is not censored.
Baby, that can't be your answer to every single question.
The way I HOLLERED reading this!
The initial Natalie Nunn interview was hilarious. I wish the full interview was still up, I can only find clips now.
I think he will eventually go more into toning down some of the fighting and ratchet shows but right now he's just giving the ppl what they wanna see and that's just No Tea No Shade Real⁉️🗣️💯
That’s why I support my local police. Can’t wait til they lock all you ratchets up

I love him too. He really doesn't give an F who you are.
These two take no accountability they know exactly what they are doing and that’s exactly why it’ll be a downfall because at least be authentic in what you do
This interview shows it’s money over everything. Damn!
Natalie whined till they let her up on the show 😂 The interview is about Zeus. Not Baddies.
Natalie go stay on top cause she comes to work and delivers everytime elevating herself and the CEO
They can’t control people but they can provide the drugs and liquor to control the situation mr ceo is funny 🤣😂
Exactly, constantly distancing himself from accountability
Exactly, didn’t they ask him about that pregnant young lady smoking and drinking and his response was I wasn’t on the set . He never takes accountability and loves anything salacious because it drives sales.
“Chin up, shoulders back”😂😂😂
He all over the place he knew he was coming into the belly of the beast why are you not prepared. When they say a balance you just mention more ratchet shyt. Balance is shows putting our people in a positive light more shows where we show us advancing and being positive creators. Hopefully dude can make that pivot because he seems smart but staying ability will be his problem.
Zeus network is TRASH!! PERIOD
Lemmy did what UA-camrs did during the pandemic, he just wanted to put out content that got views. He thought bigger than the UA-camrs that were coming up, he started his own platform. He had a wide variety of things to watch, and produced more content based on what got the most views. Its not his fault people only paid attention to the ratchet stuff on Zeus, he saw what made money and did it! Can't hate on his hustle. Blame the people that watch that ratchet mess, and make him rich!
‼️
So if someone is organizing a dog fighting ring don’t blame the organizers? According to your logic Just the ppl bringing dogs huh Damnn ppl are dumb
Or you can just not subscribe to the content. No one is forcing anyone to watch the ratchet mess or pay for the subscription. People watch because they want to, so why get mad at the owner of the platform? No one shut down VH1 or anything Viacom for broadcasting the same content. No one shut down cable companies for allowing channels that display violence. So why be upset that this black man is getting rich using the same forumla? Ratchet situations will still be broadcasted, whether this man has it on his platform or not.

Erica Mena will destroy what lil chance she has at a respectable acting career going over to that network.
If she was smart she wouldn’t go to Zeus. Would be further trash up her image. She should go away for a good while and come back with changed behavior and stay around other Latin ppl and not in African American places.

The one question I would truly asked dude is “if you truly feel you not supporting the degradation of the black community if you have kids would you allow them to watch your show or even be on the shows”??? I bet you he would start stuttering and pan away from the question 🙃🙃
I was thinking the same thing. Do your kids or nieces and nephews watch your network? Or tv at all for that matter. They’re probably all home schooled vegans who don’t ingest what he sells
I love Charm calling out Lemy. He is behind the scene. He tries to hide and let Natalie take all the smoke. Stand on it. You are exploiting YOUR PEOPLE which makes a difference. Also the allegations cast members say about how the executives run things is a lot of red flags.
What have cast members said
NOTHING ABOUT ZEUS IS EMPOWERING & OR ENLIGHTENING. PERIOD
A network like that is of no value to the culture or our community period! It’s literally trash.
Enjoyed this interview
and Lemmy was just accused of some serious allegations and just doing a press run?
Trynna distract us from those same allegations
I have no regrets with my Zeus subscription, right into their pockets and I'm watching them rise through the ranks of fame, Kardashians are falling, whereas these girls are RISINGGG

I think yall continuously missed the part where he said his content is real
