She comes across as witty, dominating and also playful in this interview and I love every second of it.

There are definitely glimpses of manic highs and rambling in this interview but that aside her personality and nuances have remain unchanged since she debuted.

    I just love her! She’s a Pro at interview questions, many of which are designed to get u to say something “bad” for ratings. She finesses so well haha. LOVE her sense of humor bc those questions he was asking would’ve been BORING without her storytelling😂❤
