When mistakes are made in the media world, it's important for them to be upright with those they misrepresented. La La Anthony and Jason Lee spoke about the time that Lee covered news of La La's ex Carmelo Anthony allegedly fathering twins with another woman. Moreover, Lee spoke about how her words after his story went out really affected him and his view on her story. "Lala Anthony and I talked about the time my team dropped an exclusive that impacted her and her family and how we handled it," Lee wrote via Instagram. "Often times the 'messy' narrative has been painted about me because of the world we report on. Some celebrities choose to participate in the process and others don’t. This is an example of how these type of relationships can work. Thanks @lala for seeing me!"
"The crossroad where I thought 'La La's not going to be our friend anymore' was when I broke that the story about the twins. When you called me, I thought you were about to cuss me out and go Brooklyn. She said to me- I will never forget and this is when I fell in love with you. You said, 'You gon' write whatever you gon' write, and none of that has anything to do with me. Just think about my son when you do that.' I was like 'Oh, shit!' I don't follow all the stories, because I can't follow everything. But that one I made sure I stayed on top of to make sure that we handled it delicately. That was some real grown woman mother... Like, 'I understand you have a job.' Where does that come from?" Lee asked La La during their conversation.
"Well, one, I want to go back to that," the 40-year-old replied. "I know I've said 'thank you' before but I want to thank you again. Anyone in this room will say I've told that story to everyone that works with me. What stood out about you to me is that that was a very traumatic experience in my life, a very traumatic experience to my son. Hearing things, whether true or not true. And to be able to have made that call, and you respected what I said and understood that. I'm a mom to a teenager that has to see those things. I always appreciated and respected that."
"No, of course," the Hollywood Unlocked reporter said. "Where does that presence come from? I mean I met your mom, she's amazing. You know, Mom's ain't playing, she over there looking at me like 'Keep them questions cute.'" While everyone in the room laughed, La La's words honored her mother. "Yeah, probably my mom. My mom is actually super calm, like, I'm the turnt one. My mom is calm. Ma', don't you always say 'I don't know where you came from'?"
