I’m not that shocked when panel talk shows are a dime a dozen these days. Saying younger and multi ethnic doesn’t make it that much different.
Poor Taty!
Love Tati but her concept is still based off “The View” so it still lacked originality.
Idk but I would like to see a show like this but with both men and women.
Y’all picked a petty picture ?
I thought I was the only one who noticed that cropped a certain lady out the pic you can still see her hand lmao
She actually went on THE REAL as a guest and was smiling all in they face then turn around a sue them.
She could have saved her time and read up on the law instead of sueing. You can’t protect an “idea”
So they basically split hairs to screw her over. Typical.
Wow
