Coming up on the weekend view with guest moderator and former view co-host Candace Cameron Bure. Ariana Grande's cringey family meet and greet in the new Meet the Parents sequel Focker in Law. I cannot wait. The premiere of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Orange County kicks off with a divorce drama that's going viral. And Kris Jenner had a different kind of girls trip when she got into the gummies with her daughters. It all starts now on The Weekend View.
I am thrilled to be your guest moderator today. Ariana Grande is meeting the Fockers this Thanksgiving in the long awaited comedy sequel Focker in Law. Take a look. Is your name Olivia Jones? Yes. You love Henry Focker? Very much. Do you have a positive impression of Henry's family so far? Yes. Hey, old machine. Funny to be on the outside. Used to being in the hot seat. Would you like to ask me some questions, Greg?
Okay. Uh Olivia, do you think I hold Henry emotionally hostage? I mean, yeah. You call him wee. Wee? People underestimate me. But actually, I was an FBI hostage negotiator. Oh, bad ass. Here comes the airplane. I pull the strings of the hostage takers by strategic emotional puppetry. That's how I'm going to free Henry from you, Greg. Oh my god. What are we doing? I can't wait. I love this movie. Oh my god. It's so funny. It's so great. I cannot wait to see it. I love the Fockers.
This gives me such anxiety because somebody who speaks English as a second language, saying is very difficult. It's difficult, right? I don't know if everyone feels the same, but like my dad reminds my our family so much of the Robert De Niro character. He's got a very dry sense of humor. And I remember when Did he put a lie detector on Max? No, I mean I could see him doing that, but no. He um when Max asked for their blessing when we were getting married, I heard this way after it happened. My mom and I had left the table and Max starts to talk to my dad and right when he finishes, he said he's
like shake like Max is shaking and feels nervous and my dad goes, Can you handle a no? Pauses. Max goes, I started to think I was going to pee my pants. I didn't know what he was saying and then he's like, just kidding. Like it's one of his proudest moments. So my sister recently got engaged and they're telling their story about how they met and everything and I retell that story giving my dad a hard time. And Will, the new husband's looking at my dad and he's like, do you do that? And he goes, yeah. Like he's still proud of it. Yeah. I'm obsessed with this whole franchise because I feel like it's so relatable. Like everyone has to deal with in-laws and there's like varying degrees of torment and I'm lucky I love my in-laws. I'm very close with them, but
my husband kind of set me up for failure early on. Like they grew up a little bougier than I did and he's like, oh, you don't ski, golf, or play tennis? Like my mom's going to be so disappointed. And I'm GOING IN LIKE I CAN'T LEARN those things in the next few days. Like what are we doing? Turns out she loves me and was interested in my career and I like to hike, so we got past that. But like I think the spouse can also get in your head about their parents because they want them to like Well, I wish my husband would have told me more about his mom because when we got engaged, two things happened. He
called he called my dad on the phone cuz my dad was living in North Carolina and he asked for his blessing and my father said, are you asking for my only child's hand in marriage by phone? And then he hung up on me. So that was one thing that he did. I kind of really appreciate that. and so my husband who was a resident at the time had to drive all the way to North Carolina from Maryland to ask for my hand in person. Um but they're very close now. But after we got engaged, I say to my mother-in-law is like, do you want to play tennis? And I said, that would be great. I would love to play tennis. I didn't know she was a semi-professional tennis player.
Okay? I'm the freaking senior circuit. So I go and she goes, don't forget to wear dress whites. I had been taking tennis lessons for years, but I suck. I'm not good at it. But I thought it was a friendly game against an older woman. And I get there and she's playing like she's in the US Open. And yeah, and I hate to lose. And so I'm like crashing and burning. I can't my service off. And I had all my hair back. And so yeah, after just like WHEN SHE TOLD ME HER HEAD WAS TOO BIG. SHE WAS SO CRAZY. So she goes, let's not play anymore. She was from Spain. And I was like, why not? Like I'm just warming up. And she was like, do not tell anybody you play tennis because you do not play tennis, okay?
You do not play tennis. And then I was like, okay. And she said, um and by the way, you have a very big forehead. Never wear your hair back. Beautiful face, but a big forehead. And I should never wear my hair back. And I was like, okay. And then Manny trots in like, you guys having fun? How did it go? And I was like horrified. It was the worst. I mean, we became somewhat closer, but she was always that person that was you knew she was always staring right up here, didn't you?
Like the zingers. She had zingers, man. me cuz I remember this. She came around because you were such a good mom. And she eventually saw like the respect. to me. Okay, I kind of feel like we're speaking ill of the dead here. And you should be you should say something nice. right away. I actually was chosen to give her eulogy at because we got so close. Aw, that's actually really special. after the forehead thing.
How about you? I have a great relationship with my uh parents-in-law also and but my mother-in-law doesn't really speak English. So I think it's like they're she's Russian. Yes. So weird. It's just like all Like it's and it's great. Just say Please say something nice about Russians because Sarah seems to praise them on a weekly basis. got another zinger and you'll appreciate this cuz my mother-in-law's Russian too. When my sister-in-law came home with my brother-in-law the first time, I can't do this Russian accent well, but she looks at her and she goes, oh nice tattoo. In Russian only HOOKERS WEAR THOSE.
THEY SAY WHAT'S ON THEIR MIND. AND THEY'RE LIKE MURDERERS. AND I was like, oh my god. Yeah. But like I would say it's kind of No, thank god. But I've got a lot OF HOOKER POTENTIAL. WELL MY I HAVE TWO newly married children. So we were on the receiving end of being the parents-in-law. wow. Thank you all look the same age. I know. Which one are your children? Natasha is so Natasha is on the left there and married to Bradley and then uh the tall one is my youngest and next to him is his brother Lev and that's his wife Elliot. And so um And you were welcoming?
Very welcoming because I want to be a part we want to be a part of their lives and grand Lev's lives. So um it was very cute, but I would say that Natasha she my gosh. You're a grandma? I'M A two-time grandmother. I have a little granddaughter. That's Winnie and I have a little grandson named Bond. How old is your granddaughter? She is six weeks old and my grandson is 16 weeks old. my god. grandma. But that this is why you have to be really nice to the spouses cuz you want them to come home for Thanksgiving and holidays.
But I would say kind of like your dad like Natasha Bradley was like the first boyfriend she even brought to us because they the kids knew there was a standard before you present to the parents. Of course, there's a standard. Oh, he was a trooper. He was great. Yeah. Very blessed have a lovely family and lovely in what do I call them my son-in-law yeah they're great. The hit reality series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is expanding to Orange County in a new spin-off that premiered this week. This season will deal with Jen Shah divorcing her husband Zach and she gets some insight from someone who's been there.
Take a look at the clip. Was the divorce pretty ugly? Yes. It was like awful. It was really hard. Did you want more custody? Yes. And did you Is it 50/50 right now? Yeah. It's a little suspicious that Jen is asking so many questions about divorce, but it's also no secret that her and Zach have been having issues for a while. I've been through the same thing that she's going through and I just want to be a safe space for her. But I'm a happier, better human and mom because I'm not in my marriage anymore.
I think that's why I'm here. I think that's why I moved. Okay, Jen recently went viral for posting videos to expose how Zach treated her during the marriage including one from two weeks after she gave birth. Take a look. [snorts] How are you not making a TikTok looking like that? Your boobs are literally like You're sagging all over. You don't want to post that baby. I'll tell you that right now. I'm embarrassing myself. Well, babe, I hope you wouldn't want to post that.
Oh, wow. Okay. Well, Zach responded to the backlash over these videos by claiming he's absolutely shocked. He said that. Jen claims that he was unsupported for years. Would walk away over this? My best friend tells me my boobs are saggy practically every day. But I'm not postpartum. Yeah, you know, I don't know. I think divorces are so hard and so emotionally draining and so, you know, they're they're just so hard that I don't know that fighting a divorce on social media is just the best bet and, you know, I don't know. And it's never just one thing. I mean, that comment [clears throat] was really
horrible. Um two weeks postpartum, I don't know that I'd walk away, but I'd probably harm him. Um honestly, violence. yeah, I would have chosen violence. Uh but it must have been more than that because she says he mistreated her for years and that's probably just one of the many examples of mistreatment of her. They're young. They're in their 20s. how long were they married? They I they think they got married when she was like 22. I watched the original which they were on and um Six years of mistreatment.
It Well, and you notice especially in the first season, he was very controlling of her and they grew up in a very religious background. They got married very young. I think there was like unhealthy jealousy. She basically at one point goes to Chippendales with the girls in Las Vegas and he freaks out. He crashes out. Yeah, and it just felt like you don't want somebody who's going to be too controlling of you. So there were signs there that said marriage is a sacred thing and God forbid, you know, I'm a child of divorce if it doesn't work out, do it privately. Do Litigating on social media is not healthy for especially for the kids involved.
Well, I think you'll have more to add on this cuz you got married young, but when I see people married young, you really have to have two people that are always willing to work on themselves and look at themselves and grow because I think you always run into people and they come not only as intimate partners, but friends, family that they're they're they're stopped, they're stuck, and they're not moving and you can't do the work of two when you're one person. And so I'm curious how it cuz you got married at Yeah, I was married at 20 and Val was 22. We've been married 30 years and it's stronger than ever.
Wow. Yeah. By the grace of God, so grateful. But yeah, you have to He looks like a little boy. But you were probably able to grow together. We did. We grew together. Exactly. And you have to have two willing people to do that. You know, the marriage is such a nuance in terms of when you're talking about the types of comments he's making cuz we don't know what else is happening. But when you have three kids, she's pregnant with their fourth, I think you really have to look at the betterment of the children within that.
Yeah. Well, Zach did apologize for the way that he spoke to her. Um So are these people getting divorced cuz I'm I'm very confused. who the hell are these people? Yeah, it's over. I don't know. Okay, well, that's about it for now. We'll be right back. The Weekend View is sponsored by Albert, your personal financial assistant. On a recent episode of The Kardashians, mom Kris headed out on a girls trip with her daughters. That included some special guests and special treats. Take a look.
I am so excited that all the girls from Fifth Wheel are coming to Palm Springs for a sleepover. I brought you all a gift. Oh my gosh. You want to take one now, actually? Oh, Kim's bringing the gummies. I want to have a good time. We just arrived. I'm over here shoving tacos in my mouth. I'm so proud of mom for taking gummies. I know, me too. I wonder if she feels it.
Yeah, it's going to be a good night. Definitely think the gummies have kicked in. You guys, mom is so not okay. I see a girl. Um I'm okay on a gummy. Yeah. [screaming] Yes, I'm feeling it and a couple of really strong martinis. I've got a hoodie. I've got glasses. And then the security shows up. I am ready to go, man. Oh. Okay, I want to know, have any of you guys ever indulged a little too much with your parents? In anything could be alcohol time I met my in-laws, we drank so We like we do we all were at their lake house and we all woke
up the next morning. We were just like, what do we had four bottles of wine between four people and I'm not a big drinker, but it did it's a quick way to bond. It's it's a good way to like break the ice. So I've never like my parents lie. Don't you lie. My parents will have drinks. Like they don't have they're very naive in what they've shared with us in their life experiences and I kind of believe them cuz I know them. What do you mean they're naive? Like they didn't My dad smoked cigarettes, but they were like they weren't like my dad probably drank and smoked cigarettes. It wasn't the age of the they missed that drug revolution or whatever. They just they're straight
shooters. But I sent them some things that I thought were going to help my mom and they were a friend of mine gave me some salves and things that have CBD in them. So I had sent these and I call home and my mom is freaking out and I can't understand why and what I didn't realize is I one of the things I sent them had THC in it and so my dad was high for the first time ever and he thought he was dying and my mom thinks he's dying and they're screaming at me and my brother's reading the bottle going, Dad, why didn't you read it? He's like, your sister sent it to me and he gets on the phone. He's like, you gave dad THC and I was like, is he enjoying himself?
It was such a mess, but my mom was furious because I then said to them, I was like, mom, like I maybe this feels funny. I know you guys have never done this and she's screaming from the other room, HE'S HAD YOUR FATHER TILL 45 MINUTES AGO. SHE WAS SO MAD at me. You got your parents high. I did. I think we may share a friend because I was saying my dog who's about 9 lb wasn't feeling great and this friend gave me some CBD to help my dog. Luckily, I decided to try it myself before giving it to my 9 lb dog. He would have been belly up, legs in the air. That was the strongest stuff I'd ever had in my life. that's what my dad looked like that day.
Guys, I'm going to come clean. I know that friend that maybe gave me something Yeah. I had no idea cuz I don't ever do drugs. And um Well, you used to not do drugs. I thought I was about to die. You thought you were going to die. We all HAVE THAT FRIEND. OH MY GOD. TIKTOKER Bridget Rose posted a video that sparked a raging debate on social media and even had the New York Times take notice. In her post, Rose claimed that it's rude to ask a friend to crash at their place if you're heading to their town. And the internet took sides. Watch.
Stop treating your friends like hotels. This is as clear as it gets to me. The time to stay with a friend is when the friend invites you to stay with them. We should be able to make requests of our friends without feeling like we're doing something wrong. I feel like we've been so concerned with never inconveniencing anybody that we've you know, like almost forgotten that friendship inherently involves a little bit of inconvenience. Really? Okay. Well, where do you guys stand on this? This is two parts of my life. So in Iowa where I grew up, anyone that was a friend, a relative, maybe you've never met them, they could be 16 times
removed. If they come to town, they will stay at your house because there weren't a lot of hotels. So like there might have been a motor inn like how many miles away on some highway, but that was what you did. When I moved to New York and spent my adult life here, when people would come, what they don't realize is I'm staying in a room the size of a large closet from the Midwest and that's my whole entire place. So when you ask to come to that space, it's a different question. So I'm I'm of the belief when you live in regular spaces, not city apartments, that's okay. I yeah, I love to host, but when I was in an apartment when people would be like can we I'm like it's not it's a den. Like I don't didn't have a second
bedroom. I'm like you can, but you're not going to be comfy. But I am insistent if you stay with someone, you have to bring a host gift. You want a bottle of wine, bring something, flowers or send a thank you note, but I just feel like that's proper to call. Well, I live in Miami and my house is a block and a half away from the Biltmore Hotel I can get you a good rate if you'd like to stay with me. Yeah. You've gotten me that rate. Yeah, but if I Look, if somebody is going to stay with me, I got to know you real well. So it can't be one of these people who all of a sudden shows up that you haven't heard from in years. I need to know your dog's name, your
spouse's name. I need to know where you went to school, and I need to know when you're leaving. Yeah. Yes, when you're leaving. I mean, you guys know me. I'm the hostess, you know, type. And so my friends You know, I worked in DC for so long. A lot of my friends are in DC. A lot of my friends are in Maryland, they're in Puerto Rico. I'm the place where everybody stayed. They move in with you? They Yeah, they did. You had a squatter. I know. I had a squatter. I had some squatters with me. And then I had one dear friend. She's from Switzerland, and her daughter wanted to come for the
summer because she had a summer job, and I was like, sure. And she stayed two years. Yeah, I could not do that. But I love her. No, have you ever had to adjust the time on someone when they said like, hey, we want to come for three weeks, and you said No. I'm an only child. I like having a lot of people with me. house in my house, and I thought there was somebody that had left, and then I realized And you know, I'm always out of town. I realized, hold a minute. This IS STILL HERE.
I ACTUALLY think boundaries are kind of good to be like, yes, you can stay with us and you can leave in a week. Like you have there has to be a time, a start and an end time. Yeah. No one-way tickets to Casa de Hostage. I know. I just say sure, come. Yeah, ours is a rental car. We love hosting people, but I don't want to have to host you the whole time you're staying. So like, please have a rental car. at home. Yeah. Yeah, just make yourself at home. Yeah, drive around. Okay. Well, we're coming back with more. We'll be right back.
