Hi guys. Hi guys. Welcome to a bonus episode of Girls Gotta Eat.

That's not bonus like it's fun and exciting but here we are.

Alright Bucket, let's get into it. We're gonna take a little bit more of a serious tone today with you guys.

Some incidents have come to light in the last few days and we are committed to responding to them swiftly.

We've always been honest with you and we're gonna continue to do that today.

We hate to make anything about us right now. We think it's disappointing to say the least to have to do this

but it is necessary to defend the house that we've built.

You guys know us. You know we are committed to humanitarian work of all kind and we would like to put the full force of our platform behind the Black Lives Matter movement

which is exactly what we were returned to doing immediately following the statement but we're gonna shed some light on some situations today

and then we will return to your regularly scheduled programming.

I wanna say before we jump in, Ashley wanted to do this episode as much as I did.

It took no convincing whatsoever. Every single thing that we do is done completely together.

There are zero decisions made in this business that aren't cosine together person.

So I just wanna say up top she has my full support.

And I'm gonna give her the floor and let her speak and I'll continue later.

Yeah and I wanna echo what Raina said that like we hate that we're doing this.

We hate that we're taking up our time and your time to bring attention to something like this when there's so much else.

We could be dedicated or energy to. So straight up top we apologize in advance that we have to direct any attention to us at this time

when there is so much else to focus on that really matters.

I am just gonna get right into it and tell you guys how this started.

That's kind of a long story. You might not have any interest in it at all.

Again I can't stress enough how much we don't wanna do this and how we wish this never happened
