"I don't think I was popular.." something a popular person would say!! lol 😂😘

Adrienne was definitely popular lol

Popular culture in church was a real thing. Watching certain families get treated better than other families by church leadership. The cool youth vs. the uncool youth. Phew, it sucked.

Loni's spirit has been so joyful and light lately. How wonderful 😊

It's fair to note it's not always the jocks and cheerleaders. Some ppl are popular solely because of who they are, their looks, they're funny, troublemakers are seen as fearless because they don't fear consequences, bullies get things thru intimidation which can be mislabeled as being powerful, etc.

Popularity happens outside of high school too.

Yes it does exist! Like Loni said people are more willing to let some (negative) things slide if a popular person does it vs those who aren’t so popular. The popular person could be a terrible person but people turn a blind eye or it’s quickly forgotten by their associates. It also goes in tandem with “pretty” privilege like Garcelle mentioned because some people are willing to put up with a lot more bullshit if the person is considered “attractive” as opposed to if they weren’t.

Popularity is a privilege that is given and can be taken away and one that turn against you very easily

Hate to see the real end

A lot of people knew me in school but I wasn’t popular. I wanted to be, but looking back, it wasn’t for me, lol.

An example of Popular privilege would be the selling out of Kylie lip kits when it dropped. The stuff wasn't consistent but so many of us bought it cause Kylie.

Pretty privilege definitely exists

I wasn't popular because I was best friends with the "popular" girl in my class. The irony. That taught me a valuable lesson that popularity ain't real.

Yea I second what Adrienne said. I grew up in NYC and we didnt have those kinds of stuff in High School either....whenever ppl not from nyc talked about that stuff I would always picture like Save by the bell type of stuff or sweet valley high lol. Also, they didnt bully ppl to the level that you'd see on tv or hear about it from other cities cuz I felt like it was all about respect and ppl didnt want to test other ppl like that cuz they dont know who those ppl knew and who they would roll up with the next day to kick their ass.

Loni story sounds like she just finished watching Never Been Kissed

It was a film, remember "She's All That"! Exact same premise.

Adrienne nailed it. Popular Privilege 100% exists in the church. You married young? You’ve got lots of kids? You in the pastor’s inner circle or extended family? You have 100% popular privilege.

It absolutely exists. Beauty is something that is looked up to by probably the majority of people and so a pretty person can usually get away with a lot, and can have a lot of success in certain careers, or with men/women. Not that it’s right, but there’s kind of a pretty worship sometimes, especially celebrities

Garcelle is hilarious...lol

YES popular privilege exist. We see ALL the time how these celebs get away with any Ole thing. Even in school, growing up, it was the same

I was expecting this conversation to shift to them and their current life as famous people and whether they think the privilege they receive is warranted.

Is Loni talking about the movie?! Jock pretends to like geeky girl....🤔😆

I’m digging Adrienne’s hair

But popularity stems from actually being charismatic and outgoing. Being pretty =/= popularity Most popular kids aren’t even that attractive, they just have big personalities

Loni’s story happens so freaking often even in the work world

It’s when you think you have gained real trust & loyalty with a guy then all the sexual/intimate things you share is now exposed to the entire school. It’s like you are truly damaging the young lady. It’s truly devastating because it’s many lost generations who really needs to know the core values of becoming a great human being.

Wish they would’ve transitioned popularity into the adult world instead of just high school because being popular especially in Hollywood/elite social groups def has its privileges

Somebody needs to put Garcelle on to looking folks in the eye when cheers-ing so she doesn’t have 7 years of bad seggs… 👀 1:44

Hella yeah popular privilege exist look at celebrities and politicians lol.

My youngest daughter is popular among her friends, while her older sister didn’t have any friends in junior high, so my older daughter said “oh she’s gonna be that girl I hated in school!” Because she always associated being popular with being mean to other. That’s why I said that I will teach my youngest daughter, who is 7 now, to always use her popularity for the better, like inviting in a boy or girl who is alone or speaking up when someone’s bullied. It’s working already, a few days ago she told me that a boy in her class was teased because he is really short and she and another friend told the bully off and said he couldn’t play with them until he stopped and also told the teacher what was going on and it worked, he stopped teasing and now he behaves good with the rest of the group.

True. I went to a private school for Middle school and we had to wear uniforms. For girls, even your hair accessories had to come from the uniform store. Well the popular girls in our grade started wearing their personal hair accessories, one admin saw it and was like " oh! That's cute!" This made me think it wasn't a big deal so i started doing it. The same admin saw me and was like "that hair bow isn't uniform" i thought she was kidding so i gave a light laugh. She got annoyed and said "I'm serious, take it out"

Loni looks really cute in that blue💙

Yes it is so true. I wasn't "popular", but I was well known. I went to a mostly white and Latino school so there was only one black kid per graduating class from 1996-2000. I was the class of 99. I was a Cheerleader ( I was not known as a pretty privilege type and I was gelling with my squad there only there girls in my grade and a couple under class-men on my squad that was ok with me), but I was also in the geeky area too. I just hung out with everyone. So I didn't get special treatment unless the school had to give it to me and the rest of the squad. But think about when celebrities get in trouble vs when ordinary people get in trouble. That's what bothers me.

What Garcelle said is so true! Kids shouldn’t peak too soon

It exist then and it still exists now. That's never gonna change. Everyone has a place in society. Animals do it too! It's a jungle out here that's REAL. XO

I laughed at the CHEERS CHEERS CHEERS 🥂 😂 but I agree popular people get treated better. Also pretty people get better treatment than not so pretty people . That sucks though

Girl that was a movie lol that did not happen in real life Loni 😩😂

What school did Adreinne go to? I went to HS in NYC an we had basketball teams, baseball teams, and cheerleaders.

I remember trying out for a musical and since I wasn't cute or had the body( I was fat) or had the "look"...they didn't cast me...they casted the popular European looking kids...even though I had tap, modern jazz and could hold a note as a tenor 🙄🙄😭

1:44 🤭🤭😂Garcelle didn't see it

After graduation from highschool idk what happen to those popular kids. I don’t even remember who was popular lol

Absolutely. When I was in H.S the Basketball/Football/Cheerleader etc got better treatment. Like if they made championship or had a good year they got a steakhouse dinner however when our band had a great year at a competition we got little ceasers and it wasn’t even enough to feed everone in the band the principal said make it work 🤷‍♀️

Let’s take a minute to appreciate Loni’s dress today 😍😍

I love Garcelle 😂

I'm with Adrienne - NYC = CONCRETE jungle!

I had the reverse I wasn't popular but my school wasn't the best school so the students who were doing well with grades will get the most notice however if you were in those students that did well were more susceptible to bullying because the popular kids thought that you would be better than them at least with grades. I only saw that popular kids got privilege in movie and shows and i never had that.

How about workplace guys? Have anyone ever face this at workplace where someone would bully someone and when you complain about bully manager would say is nothing! And next time that bully person will do even worse and manager would still say is don’t worry that wont happen again and again bully will be racist to you and manager say isn’t racist is cultural differences?! Ffs you only wish these incompetent managers to get the same treatment or at least their kids goes through it to feel the same, and on top of that they will give power to the bully person to manage you. This world is sick

The best type of popular people are the ones that don't notice they are.😘

Only popular people say they weren’t popular 😂😂 Is Adrienne unaware of what she looked like as a teen?! She was and is an it girl

Loni looks great , happy& healthy

Bullying creates mass shooters.

Did the real ever mention the school shooting in Texas ?? I’m from here. I love these girls. I wanted to hear from them..

Why does people have to assume she was popular. Bc she’s pretty automatically popular. Plenty of pretty ppl aren’t popular

nate jacobs core

Loni looks gorgeous!!!

i had popular privilege & i wasn’t on a sports team in my life 🤣

These people get brand deals and jewelry lines off of being popular.

I was thinking more about popular people getting like only 12 days in jail when they commit a crime.

Loni 🤣🤣 3:20

Love Garcelle ❤️

Being popular or not, has no indication of success.

That was a movie loni 🍿

4:30 imo, that is (a word that rhymes with grape) #drjillbiden #anotherdayintheoffice

I literally watched what Loni is talking about in a movie but I don’t remember the title

Adrienne was very different when she was younger. Those who grew up around the same time she was a child start know she was definitely popular and a mean girl

Is it popular or just pretty privilege. Or just athletes being favored.

Popularity = clout.

0:28 Whose voice is that 🤔

There is definitely Popular Privilege… but they can eat like a piece of chocolate cake 😘 !

There are sports teams and cheerleaders in high schools in NYC. Adrienne makes these generalizations that aren’t accurate at all

I was popular with girls but not boys (i'm male). Being gay was a slight hindrance to popularity among boys, though I was liked by most people. I think!

Yes my daughter is like Adrienne, the popular one, because she always learns something,very creative and makes friends fast to do fun things.

Cruel intentions is my mf moovviieee

Adrienne watches FAR & WAY too MANY movies & TV Shows about popular people okay guys.

I’m surprised that they didn’t refer to themselves as popular and the privilege they currently enjoy 😅

Idk the popular kids are fat and balding now so I don’t care. I wish I would’ve known that back in high school

Then again who knows what teacher they were screwing as far as privilege popular students

Here we go with Adrienne me, me, me. You can never say too much about her she's very annoying and insecure and doesn't know it. Loni said she was a nerd no way in hell.

You would KNOW if you’re not popular. We all all know, and we don’t forget 🥲🤣🤣

Did the real ever mention the school shooting in Texas ?? I’m from here. I love these girls. I wanted to hear from them..
