one more week until the new collection drop and i couldn't be anymore excited.

i'm standing backstage of a tv show known for getting deep into your personal life. i'm honestly just bored in life that i agreed to coming.

it'll be my first time actually sharing stuff that the media think they know, what to know, or just have no idea about.

"you're gonna do good" aaliyah kisses my cheek

"mrs.o'connell, they're ready for you" a crew member for the tv show tells me

i kiss aaliyah on the cheek before following them to show me where to go. i walk onto the stage and the crowd erupts in cheers.

"hi!" i say shaking hands with the host

"how are you today?" alex asks me

"i'm good!! how about you alex?"

"i'm good, so first i want to ask you about your newest collection coming out in a week. tell me about it" she say

"well it's something i've been working on for awhile now. it's very special to me because it's a collection i designed for my wife. i wanted to make something that perfectly gives her. the whole creative process was just her on my mind and what she would like" i explain

"wow, speaking of your wife, many wants to know the story of how you two got together. i know there were many rumors of you cheating on your ex wife and that never got cleared. you two just went on with life."

"i didn't cheat, my ex wife was actually the one doing the cheating. i was already mentally checked out of that relationship and so much things happened that the public don't know and even stuff i haven't told my wife." i say

"like what? if you want to share"

"i'm sure you see everyday she's shitting on my name, trashing me. which is actually insane coming from her, everything she says i did she actually did it. so the lies about me hitting her....we got into a physical fight once i admit. she hit me so i hit her back and it escalated." i say

"she hit you?!?"

"yeah but that was years ago, let's talk about the future" i shrug

"well, she's still trashing your name to this day. shouldn't you like sue?"

"sue her for what? she's broke" i say

she nods understanding and asks "many are wondering when did you know your wife was the one for you"

"i love this question" i smile "i never told anyone this except for her but i had a dream of her before we met and when i saw her for the first time i thought she was the most beautiful woman i've ever seen. i don't care if that's problematic considering i was married"

"so you have four kids, people are wondering if your oldest is going to follow in your footsteps"

"whatever she wants to do i'll support" i simply say

"so, have she shown any interest?"

"i don't know, ask her yourself" i shrug "im not pressuring her to follow in my steps, if she wants to she can but im not going to mention it to her because it's her life. i want her to do something she'll enjoy" i say

"so otherwise no" she chuckles before asking "under your comments on social media, many are asking for an updated picture of kourtney. how do you feel like that?"

"i feel like kourtney, mind your business. why are you so desperate to see her when she obviously doesn't want to be seen?"

"no i totally get that! so let's get deeper, you were found guilty for the killing of your brother and your employee" she states
