Could they not have brought this little moment in their morning meeting?
for me,
“the breakfast club” lost the plot a while ago.
i felt like when angela yee left and they brought on jess hilarious:
That was when the violins started sinking on that ship.
i fonted to ya’ll they needed an “angela yee kind of personality” to balance it out.
imo,
they needed someone to balance out the masculine energy.
not only that,
jess gets pregnant and off the show on maternity leave.
like,
what?
it allllllll headed to crash out city this morning and…
this was her whole live where she was going off:
oof!
this was…
charlamagne annoyed TF outta me in this shit.
someone who is unserious during serious situations really bugs me.
like,
these 3 people are flipping out and he is making jokes.
Sidebar: I stopped watching them a long time ago besides clips but is Loren the one who is actually really good at this job?
i think she is the one who really complimented those two for me.
in my head,
i feel the issue is that when jess left on maternity leave,
loren filled in and was a better fit.
Aunt Wendy said she would never have anyone fill on for her when she wasn’t live.
They will play reruns until her return.
loren came in with her background with what angela yee brought.
It feels like Jess was jealous of Loren and the comments put a battery in her back.
at this point,
it seems like people like loren so jess is going to have to hold space for her on that panel.
…and she’ll have to figure out how to manager her emotions within that.
lowkey: if this happened at a job,
jess would be out the door by the evening.
So let’s get honest: there are multiple things happening here.
People have to understand that the Breakfast Club at this point is 15 years old. When Charlamagne, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee started the Breakfast Club, they were 31, 32, and 34, respectively. Now they are all in a stone’s throw from turning 50. The show has grown from just simple gossip and interviewing the new 20-something-year-old rappers to interviewing A-list celebrities, authors, and politicians, including presidential nominees. The audience grew up and matured with the show. Jess just seemed out of touch and uninterested when it came time to have meaningful conversations.
I hate this for Jess, but she’s not the only one. Being popular on social media doesn’t and hasn’t translated into commercial viability or success. Look at La La Milan, Kendall Kyndall, or BlameitonKway. Networks like B.E.T. and others were scrambling to put these people in TV shows and movie roles, and all those projects were flops.
