You're nothing but cheap American white trash.
You and Maya, there's like a bunch of rumors out there.
Maya was too drunk to consent.
You need to get in front of this right now.
Candi, the way Rodrigo spoke to you was inexcusable.
I just can't stand idly by

while everyone else just looks the other way.
I'm pregnant.
It always should have been this way.
Some women are not meant to be mothers,
and you're one of them.
This is about my family, and that's not you.
That's why you didn't want Alexi to come back.
Thank God you saved Jack.
To hell with being a producer.
You're the suitress.
Is puzzle boy part of your bang-a-thon?
Are you absolutely sure he's the father?
Because you're a lot more pregnant than you think.
EYELASH GIRL: The key is to apply the lashes
on your actual lashes and not on your eyelid.
So, first thing's first,
I'm going to take the lashes out of the packaging...
Damn it.
... along the lash band. See? It's easy.
I'm going to apply the glue
just directly to the lash band...
Now that your lashes are on,
go out there and have a great day.
