Drew’s News: Drew Reveals She Was  Deceived on a Dating App By Potential Suitor

Ross:…are you on right now, dating apps? 

Drew: I am. And I’m about to get off, not that way, off the app. Every time I get on there it does not feel great. I always last five days. And this time my app has changed where it shows people like you so it’s very flattering….but I don’t know who anyone is and it just feels scary to go out with a stranger.  

Ross: Newsflash that is how they work. You’re not supposed to know them. You don’t go on a dating app to meet people you already know.  

Drew: Okay here’s a story. This guy on my app said he was the quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams so I wrote to him and I was like, ‘Oh my god I went to the first practice game I was so frustrated being a girl from Los Angeles who loves football and we didn’t have any teams and then I moved away to New York and then we got two teams and it’s nice to meet you my name is Drew.’ He was not the quarterback for the L.A. Rams he was a musician who thought he was being cute. How should I feel about this?  

Ross: Lied to, robbed. I had a fantasy you’d be like the new Taylor Swift, you’d be at the games.  

Drew: Well we’re also going to the Super Bowl and I was like oh maybe I could meet, I wasn’t trying to land a football player I was excited to talk about that I had been at the coliseum to see their first game in Los Angeles. And then the guy was like, ‘Hey Drewski,’ and I was like I hate you….

Drew: Someone is actually here to ask you the questions.  

Queen Latifah: Hey Erika…we had so much fun on ‘Living Single’ I think the world needs to share a little bit of that so, what is one behind-the-scenes moment that you will never forget?  

Erika: First of all thank you. It’s been a while since I’ve seen her, I love her. I think it’s just when we used to be in our dressing rooms. We used to have so much fun and we would undress in front of each other and compare breasts. And I love that we have that thing that we really cheer each other on but we also with our bodies, women that were considered bigger women on tv and to actually go and have out first person that saw us in wardrobe go, ‘Look at that look at how they’re sitting up those are fine,’ and we gave ourselves a lot of encouragement. So, yes remember that a lot. A lot of body positivity. 

Queen Latifah:…How would you describe me in one word?  

Erika: Well, I’ll describe her as she describes herself, a queen.

Drew: You had a street named after you.  

Erika: I did.  

Drew: Erika Alexander way. Your town in Winslow, Arizona.  

Erika: Yes. I’m from Arizona so they had a whole week that was Erika Alexander week. they welcomed me home. They gave me a beautiful community welcome and my mother was there.  

Drew: What do you think and feel in those surreal moments? 

Erika: Loved. Both of my parents were orphans. My mother was there to be honored herself. They’re going to put her face on the side of a building. She was an educator. We lived the first eleven years of my life in a hotel called Starlight on route 66.  So when they welcome you and they say they’re proud of you, but also to tell people there that where you are is where it’s at. You can succeed and these formative years can shape you, and I am part of Arizona, it’s a part of me and I’m also a part of Philly where I’ve discovered. So I’m glad to be welcomed home and I’m very honored to do it.
