[dramatic music plays] What’s the biggest white lie
you’ve told to a romantic partner?
[Onlooker] Oh.

What’s one hygiene/beauty non-negotiable
for someone you’re dating?
Branden? I have a few.
[laughs] List ’em all. List ’em.
[Branden] You have to shower
at least once a day, please. Yeah.
You have to use lotion.
Very important to me. The other person
has to use lotion? Yes, ’cause I use lotion.
What if they don’t? It’s tough.
It’s tough; we have to have
a conversation. What if they have naturally
soft skin without lotion? It’s not gonna last
without lotion. Well, if she doesn’t have
the lotion on, do you say,
why don’t you feel like butter?
[music halts] That’s how I feel inside.
Do you say something? Not right away,
but I let it cook.
Luckily I don’t have these problems, but–
[several laugh] Listen to the camera.
Shout out to my baby. Next question.
No judgment. [dramatic music plays]
Are looks important to you when dating someone?
Yes. [spoken quietly] [music halts]
[Grace] Didn’t ask Alicia,
but she said yes under her breath.
Cat? [dramatic music plays]
Yes.
Yeah. Fair enough, right?
Gotta think they’re cute, you know what I mean?
Gotta think they’re cute. Initial attraction.
Yeah, I was gonna say, Yes.
the initial moment. Yeah, it’s, yeah,
I guess it’s more the chemistry than, like,
what they look like. [music halts]
But I do think people can
become attractive. What are you guys

sidebar. Which of your costars
smells the best? [soft music plays]

Aw. Good answer.
Yeah, good one. Great answer.
And why? And why [laughs],
And why? Why, why [laughs]?
What is it that I
smell like? Because of shower, and what?
[music halts]

a word to it; it’s just– It’s a pheromones.
Pheromones.

This is good TV; people like this.
Go ahead.
What’s the biggest white lie?
I like how they said white lie.
As opposed to a Black one?
[dramatic music plays] [several laugh]
[soft music plays] When I’ve
told you, like, I’m on the way
to your house when I’m, like, still–
Doing, like, 40 things. Yeah.
And it’s two-and-a-half So you know that
Hours. You know that I’m

[Catherine laughs]
[soft dramatic music plays] If there was an award
for the most high maintenance person
in the room right now,
who would you give it to?
Alicia. Oh.
I was thinking– No, I’m asking
Alicia. Oh, Branden.
[dramatic beat plays] Nah, nah,
[several laugh] oh, hold on, let’s bond.
I don’t like this narrative
we’re starting here at Allure.
It’s not bad. No, it’s not
bad. No, it’s not a bad thing.
I think you, out of everyone,
like the things, like,
a certain way. I don’t like this
narrative. You like to take care
of yourself; that’s not a bad thing.
No. Jackson can be a little
high maintenance, too. Mm-hm.
It’s less like
I think men are more– beauty, and it’s more like
you like to be in bed a certain time
and, like, the air
needs to be this certain, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It’s like, Yeah.
For sure. Particular.
Particular. That’s why dudes
are babies when we’re sick,
and we don’t like to be uncomfortable.
It’s just, I think it’s chemical.
Mm-hm. Or societal.
Name an instance where you think
it’s actually okay not to tell the truth, Sonia.
If it’s someone that you don’t know very well,
and it’s something that they can’t do anything.
For example, someone you don’t know that well
and they’re like, do you like my haircut?
And you don’t.
Be like, yeah. I heard recently,
let people lie to you.
Let people lie to you in the way, okay, in this way.
In this way, in this way.
How you doing?
I’m fine.
That means I don’t really wanna talk about it.
Yeah, yeah, exactly. You know what I mean?
What’s the fastest you’ve gone from meeting someone
to making out with them?
[music halts] [Branden snorts]
[Sonia laughs] Grace?
Meeting someone and making [soft dramatic music plays]
out with someone?
That same day. Yeah.
But, like, how long?
How long? How long, minutes, seconds?
Did you time it? [several laugh]

Lock somebody up. Yeah.
And you would murder someone.
Yeah, probably, yeah.
Throw ’em in the river. Look at the picture
