Naomi’s Scandals, South Africa, and the Jozi Housewives with Evita!" (Part 1)
Explicit content warning
02/06/25 • 73 min
🔥 Brace yourselves, darlings—this two-part Coffee Break is pure pop culture intellectual chaos. I’m joined by the fabulous Evita, whose life story is a globe-trotting masterpiece: born in Nigeria, raised in Johannesburg, and now thriving in Baltimore. We talked for three straight hours, so here’s Part 1 of our supersized, caffeine-fueled convo.
We kick off heavy: dissecting the ugly truths about Apartheid (it’s not over, kids—Google it or book your trip), the eerie similarities between Baltimore and Johannesburg (creative brilliance with a side of systemic nonsense), and the messy, manipulative media machine (looking at you, CNN and The View). Nancy Pelosi makes a cameo, and we unpack the brewing Real Housewives-style feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
Then, we shift gears into full-on pop culture madness:
👑 Martha Stewart is crowned queen.
🕳️ Naomi Campbell’s scandal-filled rabbit hole is dark and impossible to look away from.
💥 Her iconic feud with Tyra Banks gets the roasting it deserves (Tyra’s talk show? Unhinged).
📸 America’s Next Top Model is problematic, chaotic, and endlessly meme-worthy.
🍵 We spill tea on Nicki Minaj vs. Cardi B and Nicki vs. Mariah Carey.
👋 Oprah? We’re over her. Monique? We’re stanning.
And just when you think it can’t get juicier, we wrap with a deep dive into the Real Housewives of Johannesburg and Real Housewives of Lagos: Christall Kay’s theatrics, Evodia and Mercy’s iconic mother-daughter tag team, and the pure chaos of Jozi’s first season—arguably one of the best in the Housewives universe.
⚠️ Disclaimer: This is punk-fueled, caffeine-induced gossip. Don’t take us too seriously—except when we’re worshipping Whitney Houston, Martha Stewart, and chaotic 2000s reality TV gold.
Grab your coffee, throw on some glitter, and join us for the ultimate laugh-filled ride. Part 2 drops next week—prepare yourself.
Season Two of #RockStarLife: Coffee Break blasts off with new episodes every Thursday—plus surprise Espresso Shots whenever the cosmos (or my caffeine levels) demand it. 🚀☕✨
Plus! The revolution needs YOU! Ethereal Anarchy: Zenobia Darling's Haunted Revolution Part 1 premiered on November 1st, capturing one of the most profound paranormal experiences I’ve ever had—documented in full, raw, reality-fabulousness. But we have more content, and filmed during the preimere, and now on a mission to make a part two, creating a first of its kind, full length paranormal documentry. Your support on our GoFundMe fuels everything from ghost-hunting gear to our fierce crew, keeping the spooky, queer vibes alive for the next chapter. Every dollar helps us push boundaries, bring the supernatural to life, and, yes—raise the dead!

Giving Rats in Baltimore Birth Control with Cathy Till!!
In this wild and hilarious, heavily redacted episode 19 of season two of #RockStarLife: Coffee Break, I’m joined by the legendary Cathy Till for a post-Spooky Season catch-up! 🎃👻 We dive deep into the high-class vintage vibes of the Playboy Club and revisit the scandalous, yet glamorous, legacy of Blaze Starr.
Cathy spills behind-the-scenes tea from shooting Ethereal Anarchy, shares the scoop on the suburbanization of Canton in Baltimore, and takes us on a journey through her 1980s Pat Benatar and Blondie-inspired fashion style. 🕸️ Oh, and we can’t forget our vent session about humanity—because nothing soothes the soul like ranting about Comcast and family drama while playing The Sims and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City to vent the anger. 💀🎮
Of course, there’s more drama to unpack! From Queer as Folk and Homicide: Life on the Street to The Wire and the Sarah Jessica Parker/Kim Cattrall feud on And Just Like That, we cover it all—including our love for Mob Wives 🍂. Plus, you KNOW we couldn’t skip a Zak Bagans update—because, duh, ghosts. 🕷️👀
🎧 Tune in now for an unfiltered, no-holds-barred chat about pop culture, paranormal shenanigans, and all things Baltimore—complete with a side of rat birth control. 🖤🐀

Wendy Williams is Queen and Pop Culture Chaos with Evita! (Part Two)
In this supersized second half of our coffee-fueled pop culture deep dive with Evita, we’re serving up some spicy tea, Wendy Williams-style. 🎤🔥 Recorded on January 16, 2025 — the same day Wendy called into The Breakfast Club — we break down her iconic moments and shade, especially her fearless takedown of pop culture’s darkest secrets. From Bill Cosby to R. Kelly and Diddy, Wendy was always right about the scandals everyone else was too scared to touch.
We dive into Wendy's unapologetic truth-telling from her radio days and explore the broken system surrounding her conservatorship, comparing it to Britney Spears' battle for freedom. Plus, we revisit her unforgettable interviews with Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, cementing her status as the ultimate entertainment journalist. 🎙️✨
Then, we dive into the chaotic "Whore Economy" of LA and some hot pop culture gossip — from Amanda Bynes and Demi Lovato to Jay Z and Rihanna. We end it all with a deep cut on Oprah’s messy drama in South Africa and missing her unhinged moments, like the time Barbara Streisand painted one of her mics white in a wild early 2000s interview you can find here, narrative by Queen Kathy Griffin.
This episode is pure pop culture madness, a rollercoaster of gossip, empowerment, and everything that makes Wendy Williams the queen of chaos. 👑💄
