I think she did great in this interview! You can tell she’s nervous but it’s hard to talk about a traumatic time in your life. So glad she’s finally speaking out about her experience ❤
Great Interview! Laura-Leigh is an amazing eccentric creator. Sometimes misunderstood, but don't get it twisted. She has fought her demons and conquered them.
That's such a gross thing to say; especially since she is the only one who has ever been this brutally honest about herself and others. It's just hard to look into the camera and talk to a million people about the deepest, darkest times of your life without breaking down. That's all she is trying to do. Not break the hell down, reliving her most traumatic times ON CAMERA, AGAIN. If you have an iota of sense, I insist you give this some thought. It's not awkward, it's brutally heart-felt.
I’m sorry, but I’m only 1/4 of the way through, and this is the most iconic interview that is completely feeding and healing my 24yr old soul! (I’m 36) lol
Love Laura leigh ❤❤❤she was the absolute best missed her so much so happy she's doing amazing my favorite part of season 1 of vpr was when she put stassi in her place so iconic happy new year to her
You guys are great interviewers! You have the talent of letting your guest speak while you listen! Good job! I also appreciate that you did your homework and know so much about Laura-Leigh!
this was exploitation of someone still using, spreading misinformation on how to be sober. And who makes a kids show about a strip club? she needs rehab...
@@jakecarlson3110I disagree. She’s a full grown adult capable of making her own decisions. She’s also been very honest about her addiction struggles and time in rehab. Also sobriety isn’t a straight line. It has peaks and valleys. Anyone who’s dealt with addiction knows this. Sobriety for some requires constant work and maintenance. And if you fall you get back up. Such is life. Ain’t no one size fits all. Shame is also what keeps an addict from admitting and seeking help. So the shame approach serves no purpose!
you held space for her !!!! that's you're new super power. another name for holding space is letting them know a hug is available upon request😊@@vanderpumprulespartypodcast
I've been waiting for this!!! I've always wanted to hear her side, but she's kind of all over the place when she speaks! She starts stories with no context...she's hard to follow, but I'm still hanging onto every word 😂
I have been waiting and waiting and (very patiently😅) waiting for this interview!!!!! I’ve been dying to hear Laura-Leigh’s side of the story since literally season 1. 🎉
and what's worse is the adults in production profited off her bully behavior. People say Jax was horrible. According to some he was the highest paid? ... Why? Stassi was also awful in her own way and both were rewarded. People can act shocked at the pay but we are looking back on a successful decade run. When reality TV was coming about was after the writers strike, people unlike L,L were not SAG or even union workers. I would not have put 1 Million into a show we don't know is coming back. Reality was a loophole not to pay writers so you think the network was going to pay talent? Now as the show has become profitable, then definitely a salary increase should be there. I still say Jax was paid more based on * LVP and Bravo misogyny ...
I love you guys! You both look amazing and the set is so cool!! So excited to see you on here!! Been with you guys forever on FB and Patreon, and Im thrilled to see the start of something big for y'all on RUclips!!! xoxo
I think she did great! She’s been through a lot. That poor girl working at Sur with the bullying. That’s awful! Bravo owes this girl. I’m so glad she is on her feet now without having to be at Sur.
I can’t believe they let her do this interview. Whether she was anxious and took something or is slipping on her sobriety, this interview shouldn’t have aired. It’s hard to watch her but hope she is doing well
Wow, a lot of these comments are really disappointing. She’s socially awkward and I’m sure a bit nervous as are a lot of actors. Why do you think she’s never done an interview before about her time on VPR? She’s been asked by many podcasters over the yrs. Saying she’s drunk or on drugs is really disgusting. Good job Hollie and Sarah and happy new year. 🎉
This interview was amazing! Thank you Hollie and Sarah for bringing us the iconic Laura Leigh. I think I speak for all long term VPR fans when I say I’ve always wanted to hear her side of things. Watching this interview brought me to tears a few times. Thank you Laura Leigh for your honestly and truth. As a dog mom, your stories about Halo were especially impactful. You are an inspiration to women and don’t you dare listen to the noise that says otherwise! 🫶🏻
For those of you if you haven't seen the client list it is available now on peacock and a few other streaming channels it truly was phenomenal series and it's a shame that it ended the way it did.
Really tired of people clearly inebriated talking about how sober they are. Omg this is the uncomfortable thing to watch - BEYOND CRINGE!!!! I'm sorry for whatever happened to her that she's clearly trying to medicate for, but she needed to not do this interview. Can't stress that enough. Poor girl.
Just throwing this out there- I am 100% sober. However, I’ve also faced a wild amount of trauma and have a fairly aggressive amount of anxiety. I behave this way when I am anxious. It doesn’t mean she is inebriated.
@@griff7933 That’s good feedback from someone who experiences this. But she’s a trained actress, so I’d expect she would know how to control her speech/general behavior a bit more. Especially in a long-form interview…regardless I hope she’s OK.
drugs can have long terms effects - I know ppl like this that are totally sober but have scrambled their brains or are on heavy anti-psychotic meds due to mental health needs
Great job ladies. Can’t wait to hear your impression on Patreon. Something about her voice is just not right. As an actress I feel like she would speak better she’s having issues with her fluency.
Agreed. It appears she had some pills on-board…or maybe this is how she’s wired (to be somewhat ‘off-kilter mentally?). But if I had to bet, I’d say 💊…
First of all you don't know what she's doing! She may have been incredibly nervous perhaps she took a medication that was prescribed for her and the effects were not good. It happens to people Doesn't mean she's not sober just means she's probably struggling through something. Last time I checked we don't have the sober police running around.
But Laura Leigh’s been up front with her addiction battles. She’s honest unlike most people. It’s funny because the people that say they have never, or will never touch drugs have most likely used them. When I visit someone’s house, whether stranger or friend, I always look inside their medicine cabinet. I’m always blown away by what I find. The people that say they’d never ever, usually have drugs that are highly addictive. I’d say 99% of the time that I’ve looked I have found heavy duty prescriptions. I can also tell the difference between a casual user and a regular user by the date and refill quantity. People aren’t as innocent and righteous as they make themselves out to be. I respect realistic and honest people more than bull sh*t artists.
@@brodyman1231 Solid points…but isn’t LL claiming she’s clean/sober at this point? Do you think she’s wired to be little “off” or is she abusing substances again? Most assume she’s lying about being sober due to her speech patterns…
@@brodyman1231why are you going through peoples personal belongings? I can guarantee an addict isn’t keeping their pills in the bathroom medicine cabinet.
Honestly guys, we don’t know if that’s just her or if she took some thing - and if she did, I’m sure she was incredibly nervous entering this world again/doing her first public interview about it after so long - after all the turmoil it caused her (not justifying if she relapsed, but just saying) - but I will say I enjoyed hearing her interview and I’m not gonna lie the idea of her show, actually sounds like it could be really incredible/funny/so “right-now” and I hope she gets that opportunity and succeeds!
She seems perfectly ok and healthy to me. I love the mind of an artist and how they truly speak with intention, actively examine their inner thoughts while speaking, and being fully authentic and raw! Excited for all you’ll be bringing into the new year, Laura-Leigh ✨
1:36 Also, it’s nice to hear LL’s perspective. It’s time for some public apologies *cough* Jax *cough* Stassi (ily) *cough* unless I’m out of the loop and they have 😬
Laura Leigh is a highly trained actress she speaks and thinks Alot more deeply than others she is awesome I think the host are weird they are not asking questions that's the confusion
Im sorry but can she is Full on fighting so hard to get a sentence out, jesus christ, like someone on benzos. I feel horrible saying that but thats incredibly clear. Whatever it is, she needs practice or something Other than that she is lovely
This is weird timing to do this interview especially now that the show is over and done. Shes talking about cast members who that left the show in the beginning and never returned got married , divorced had kids etc. Shes talking about it like this was just her recent experience. She is the exact wrong kind of woman to be around Jax. Hes a pig who would just try to manipulate her
I know y’all aren’t Barbara Walters but can you PLEASE outline these interviews better if you’re going to do more in the future ? I feel like you let the guests take over and ramble on, and you’re not actually asking questions we want answers for. It’s a little frustrating.
I actually like that they let her talk. Sooo many podcasters just take over conversations like this. I think it’s a rare talent to listen without interrupting
@ I’m not saying they should’ve interrupted her but what’s the point of an interview if you mostly let the interview-y monologue the whole time? Also, I’m not asking them to grill her or force answers out of her-not at all. The final product just feels disorganized.
I think she did great in this interview! You can tell she’s nervous but it’s hard to talk about a traumatic time in your life. So glad she’s finally speaking out about her experience ❤
Does this woman know she's a legend in VPR lore?
Tip: Change to 1.25x speed. 👍🏽
Thank you!
Ha! So funny! But fr though, thanks for the tip.
I really just want to give Laura-Leigh a hug.
Great interview! You all look fabulous! Thank you❤❤Team Laura-Leigh… we missed you!!
I feel like I’m watching someone who’s been on lithium for a decade 😢
As someone who is just now coming out of the fog of being incorrectly prescribed lithium for 3 years…..yes 😢
Great Interview! Laura-Leigh is an amazing eccentric creator. Sometimes misunderstood, but don't get it twisted. She has fought her demons and conquered them.
I don't think she's conquered them.
Hear me out: New reality show starring all the chaotic characters from VPR beginning with Laura-Leigh, Jo and Raquel/Rachel/Rocky 😂
Hell no lol the devil R. doesn't need more airtime.
And ddaayyynnaaa
Great interview ladies! I know how much you always appreciated Laura Leigh on the show. She really opened up about everything. Wishing her the best!
Brilliant 👏 always loved her! Too smart for Vpr she's a beautiful soul 🙌❤
Excellent interview! Blessings and peace to Laura-Leigh 🌸🤗
She actually makes complete sense and seems really grounded. Her mannerisms have always been odd but it makes her her
@@maryssaadams9421 This! People are so rude. Sheesh.
It’s not her mannerisms, it’s her slurred speech and struggling to formulate sentences
Why was this so awkward. She doesn’t seem okay.
I feel the same..

She was only on half a season but she's a legend in the VPR world.
I have been waiting and waiting and (very patiently😅) waiting for this interview!!!!! I’ve been dying to hear Laura-Leigh’s side of the story since literally season 1. 🎉
I’m so excited for this. Laura Leigh is iconic!
The ending was so abrupt 😂“No!! Oh, God! Oh, God! Okay, we’ve gotta go!! Thank you!” 🐕💩
Is she okay? 🥹
Testing our patience and probably the hosts for sure. Oh my
I feel like she could totally play Britney Spears in that new movie about her life.
Hearing what Stassi and her friends did to Laura is really disheartening. Stassi was such a bully:/
Stassi has always been a nat raciest bully
and what's worse is the adults in production profited off her bully behavior.
People say Jax was horrible. According to some he was the highest paid? ... Why? Stassi was also awful in her own way and both were rewarded.

I’m excited for her show!!!
I can’t believe they let her do this interview. Whether she was anxious and took something or is slipping on her sobriety, this interview shouldn’t have aired. It’s hard to watch her but hope she is doing well
This is so weird that I am rewatching all of VPR starting last week and this just popped up! Perfect timing! 😍
Too much anxiety meds in this one. I was hoping she was going to be doing amazing. I hope someone helps her.
Wtf are you talking about?
That's a beautiful way of stating what I think we are all feeling. 🙏🏼❤️
@lallana2882 she is high as a kite in this so wtf are you talking about? Get a clue
Wow Laura-Leigh came off great. An intelligent, self aware, lovely lady. You go girl!!!
Love the idea of her show too!!! do it!

Um ok.
She closes her eyes a lot. And interesting that she admits she is not always clean and sober.
Been waiting on this for years
Laura-Leigh is actually in one of my favorite movies- Under the Silver Lake. I was always glad she was able to focus on her acting
This interview was amazing! Thank you Hollie and Sarah for bringing us the iconic Laura Leigh. I think I speak for all long term VPR fans when I say I’ve always wanted to hear her side of things.

I'm all for supporting an underdog, but calling her an "inspiration to women" is both laughable & troubling 🤔
I love this. Good for Laura. ❤
Laura Leigh ❤
What an ending 😂😂😂😂
let’s pump women up instead of making fun or criticizing. insane how quickly ppl come out with videos making fun of her. get a real job
awesome, good job, great interview! You all look stunning!
She’s giving Kim Richard vibes here. Take with that what you will

How do you know she's inebriated? Rude like Stassi. Making assumptions. Her sobriety level is probably better than most people these days.
It’s pretty crazy that Stassi got away with the amount of bullying she did on that show
I agree with the whole “awkward” thing. She’s definitely awkward and she definitely doesn’t seem okay..
I feel so bad for this young lady. She is struggling doing this. Why would you allow her to show her self like this.
Much easier to listen to sped up to 1.5, 1.75.
You’re welcome😊
Excellent!! But ‼️ WARNING ‼️ listen to it in 2x speed or else you’re going to pull your hair out ! Lol!
😅 more like 10x speed!
Is she still on drvgs ?
This is good! Spilling all kinds of tea. LL's a sweet soul. She's fine, she's better at adulting than Jax thats for sure.
Nobody sees her bruises😢 I hope she’s ok🙏 I thought she was brave on the show.
I remember her on the show “the client list” with Jennifer Love Hewitt
Great job ladies. Can’t wait to hear your impression on Patreon. Something about her voice is just not right. As an actress I feel like she would speak better she’s having issues with her fluency.

What a gift for 2025 ❤🎉 lol amazing interview! I can't wait to watch Laura Leighs animated show some day!
I can’t with the baby voice
I wish you guys held her accountable more 😢 this almost felt like a therapy session not a podcast 💔

why would she agree to this
Laura’s show would be great at Bravo! Great interview
I had to increase the speed to 1.25. And she was still talking so slow.
I wanted to watch this so bad but she's so messed up, I can't watch past 6 minutes. I really hoped that she was doing well. Very sad 😢
I may be wrong…..but I feel there’s something off here. She doesn’t seem ok.
Also, did she really say she’s accomplished MORE than LVP?!?! 🤦🏼♀️
And she wants to talk with Lisa for closure??? It’s been 10 years
Dear Lord 😳😳😳
This feels like a SNL skit, and I'm here for it.
Oh dear. She is way over medicated whatever it is. 🙏 for you young lady 🙏❤️ yes. You can do it!
She sounds sooooooooooooo DRUNK
That’s what I said! Either that or her brain is fried lol
reminds me of me on my xanax phase hostently. the slow and raspy voice gives xanax
Yeah it’s not 🥃….it’s 💊
Something is clearly influencing her. That’s not being negative… that’s stating the obvious
How does she make a living now? Based on this chat, I can’t imagine she’s capable of earning too much $$…especially with the LA cost of living…
She seems perfectly ok and healthy to me. I love the mind of an artist and how they truly speak with intention, actively examine their inner thoughts while speaking, and being fully authentic and raw! Excited for all you’ll be bringing into the new year, Laura-Leigh ✨
6:40 the way they look at her😬
I hope you paid her.
I adore this woman. Such authenticity. And you two look beautiful! ❤
1:36 Also, it’s nice to hear LL’s perspective. It’s time for some public apologies *cough* Jax *cough* Stassi (ily) *cough* unless I’m out of the loop and they have 😬
58:33 , don’t tell me she’s not rolling
The start and stops and never forming even a half a thought!
What is with the comments? She clearly admitted in the interview she took Prozac.
Prozac doesn't make you seem drunk, hun.
@ yes, but nerves do. I literally pass out when I’m nervous and overwhelmed.
Thank you!
@@maggiemaemeow so disappointing that people are starting the new year like this 🥴
She seems a bit off here
This hurts my heart
She jumped right in. Didn't even let them introduce her! Yikes!
She's so high
Laura Leigh is a highly trained actress she speaks and thinks Alot more deeply than others she is awesome I think the host are weird they are not asking questions that's the confusion
I think She's on something
Im sorry but can she is
Full on fighting so hard to get a sentence out, jesus christ, like someone on benzos.
I feel horrible saying that but thats incredibly clear. Whatever it is, she needs practice or something
Other than that she is lovely
I cant believe yall continued to interview her and publish it. She's obviously not sober.
Who is she looking at? Odd set up and the editing showing the podcasters' reactions is just weird.
Such a great interview!
this is sad.
Her voice is even more annoying than I remember
She is so not sober.
