Usually the noise doesn’t bother me; it doesn’t bother Ayesha, but this one in particular, when you’re trying to step on the accomplishments of my wife and, you know, obviously needing podcasts, tapings, and topics and giving opinions on somebody else’s wife. Nick, Gil, Emmanuel, and anybody else who feels the need to wanna have to jump in and give an opinion on something you don’t really know about, something that kinda speaks to a bigger conversation on how you view women in this world and what they’re allowed and what they’re not allowed to do. ” Stephen also questioned whether the critics understood how acting works.
