I just watched the whole episode (procrastinating at work), so I thought I'd fill you all in so you don't have to watch it.

She originally wasn't going to be able to do anything (work-wise, I assume) for 1 year.
Then she hired her awesome lawyers who have made it so she can be back on AUDIO in January. She specifically said audio.
She said she knew about Matt Lauer.
She said the end of her show was abrupt for both her and the company.
She said she's been told to say "she and Sirius parted ways."
She then said a company makes you leave. "They pack your shit up for you and send it to your house. Your company badge doesn't work any more."
She said from a business perspective, it was time for a change.
Now, it's going to be so much better.
The T&C trip is off. She'll maybe do it down the road.
She admitted she has no idea what she's doing in business.
The T&C trip was "out of her control." She's basically blaming her advisers for this one.
She said she has haters.
She said she was not getting a free trip to T&C. (HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE????)
She said she has stories about Natalie Morales and Matt Lauer.
At the end, Claudia said to look for her to be back on a podcast or live shows.

Don'tEverGoToTheBeach · 12/01/2017 12:53 pm

So, it looks like she won't be doing a regular Facebook live show anytime soon if she can only return to audio. She was definitely fired. I'm thinking she must be getting some sort of severance, otherwise there would be no restrictions on what she can do and say.

Durst_Burp · 12/01/2017 1:08 pm

I watched it too, an what I want to know is, if it was your "advisers" who did a bad job with the trip, who has she fired as a result? And it may not have been the only reason, but she'll never convince me the trip had nothing to do with her "parting ways" with Sirius.

Wakeupfan420 · 12/01/2017 1:12 pm

She just lied to everyone's face about the T&C trip. She will never make me believe that wasn't 💯 part of why she got fired. And to say she wasn't getting a free trip out of it is fucking bullshit. She would have been making over $1000 pp but we all know she is full of shit so that was no surprise.

The craziest thing she said was when she asked about Stassis recent crisis re: her deleted from podcast, and Taylor tried to say you couldn't listen to it, but Stassi sent a copy to her to hear. People weren't listening and it was the cohost who said the offensive things but Stassi took the brunt of the backlash as the host. Umm bitch NOPE. First off, once something is on the internet, it is out there FOREVER. There are literally 5 million links to the entire podcast.

It's astounding to me that it is 2017, and she has no freaking clue how the internet works.

Don'tEverGoToTheBeach · 12/01/2017 1:36 pm

Maybe that's what it is. She can't have her own show until January. Although I did see some comments on her IG from people who went to the Philly show saying "can't wait until Jan/Feb," so maybe she can announce in January, but the show won't start until February???
Also, she said something about having done trips like the one to T&C before (with Carin Rockind), so she acted like she was surprised that there was so much backlash from the T&C trip.

Don'tEverGoToTheBeach · 12/01/2017 1:41 pm

I obviously don't want to work today, so I'll say something else. When fans were commenting on her IG about her doing more live shows in other cities, Emma Willmann was responding, but not Taylor. She said somewhere that she was going to have merch to sell at the live shows. That is 100% Emma's idea. I remember listening to her on WU one day talking about how she was telling Taylor to get t-shirts and stuff like that made. Taylor said the merch was going to be for sale on her blog, too. I seriously doubt that happens. Commercializing a website is a lot of work and we all saw before with Tay's Closet that she has 0 follow through for that kind of stuff. Just like she said in the video she was going to start updating her blog again and that hasn't been done.

When Victoria left Sirius to go to terrestrial, she had to wait 3 months before she could go live. Typical. I really really would put money down that she didn't get a severance. That's why she trying so hard, A hustling A hustling, which will last another 2 weeks. The Morning Breathe angered me a couple times. #1 Will you be on Vanderpump? Really? Why? As if that would ever be an option. #2 No responsibility for the trip. Jesus. H Christ. You were charging people money to hang out with you, of course, that was paying for your trip. Again, blame it on someone else.

I would like to hear the whole thing before I can honestly judge.

I think she's playing semantics with the "I wasn't getting a free trip" thing. Ok, fine. Maybe she wasn't exactly getting a 100% free trip, but she ABSOLUTELY was getting a kickback of some sort. For her to expect people to believe she was getting nothing at all out of that trip and was going solely for the purpose of hanging out with her fans is absurd and insulting.

She's needs to break down the cost then.

BethosGirlSC · 12/01/2017 2:31 pm

My notes from my viewing of Morning Breath interview:

1. Seriously can't take Claudia's voice!!! You have to make an effort to have that inflection. Ugh!
2. Poor Taylor was the victim of someone in power. She, a little person, was let go by someone drunk on power. A mean man got her fired!
3. Someone commented "Who is Taylor?" The BEST!!
4. Morty & Larry had to fight with SiriusXM as Sirius was trying to silence her for an entire year...again, big mean SiriusXM.
5. She will be on audio in January.
6. She wasn't allowed to return to SiriusXM to clean out her office. They gathered her stuff and sent it to her apartment.
7. The trip! The cost, the logistics, the reveal, the dissemination of information, the way payment was collected...Taylor had ZERO role in any of it! She was simply along for the ride.
8. She was THE ONE who made Stassi issue the apology for the now deleted podcast.
9. If her "parting ways" with SiriusXM had happened while Vanderpump Rules was filming, she would be on that show now.
10. Claudia hates people who are not self aware.

She is the queen of quid pro quo

Hello all, I think it’s the first time I post on this forum, but I’ve been a lurker for a while now. I saw the morning breath and I didn’t know what they were talking about when they mentioned stassy and the apology. What happened? TIA

YRod47 · 12/01/2017 3:07 pm

Never mind. I just read that she criticized the me too campaign.

Maybe she's using semantics. She pays for the trip but then gets paid from everyone who attends. Maybe in her head the initial outlay is a way to justify saying it was not free even if in the end she's in the black.

Number 9. I didn't understand her comment there. Like. Why? I think it's quite a stretch.

Im sure she was getting a comped room at the hotel at T&C.

I seriously want a break down of where the money was going if she wasn't making anything.

Ok I’m probably the only one thinking this and clearly I’m naive but I thought she seemed genuine for the most part. Like she never said that the trip wasn’t the reason she was fired...so there’s still a good chance it was but she did say she wasn’t trying to dupe people and I still believe she wasn’t. I think she’s just in such a bubble that she thought her intent was ok. As for the Stassi thing did she actually say she told Stassi to apologize? I misheard that. I will say that her and Claudia are far from self-aware. Self-deprecating perhaps but not nearly as “self-aware” as they both claim.

Overall it felt real to me but again, I could just be trying to see the positive.

Fair enough, but it reminds me of something a podcast I listen to does called "stupid or liar". When they're talking about situations like this, where people are saying things that are dubious/don't make sense, it's either "stupid or liar." So, either she's lying, or she's an idiot and needs to get better business advisors. IMO it's a little of both.

I had emailed the trip email address when it was announced and asked for one. Never received a response.

I appreciate your POV, and just wanted to add, I don't think she set out to scam anyone. I believe she thought it sounded like an easy way to make some money and get a vacation paid for while meeting some fans. My real problem with it is, if she's going to put her name on something like that, she should know what was going on with the arrangements. If she didn't, that's her fault. If she did, how did she not think the details were shady af? Like every single detail was sooo sketchy.

Totally agree, neither she nor Claudia understand what self-aware means.

idontcarethatmuch · 12/01/2017 8:29 pm

Math is easy. She knew how this was working out in her favor. Period. I would rather have her admit this than to deny deny deny. Ugh. So over it.

her good friend and old boss owns that hotel with her husband. She would stay free no matter what at that hotel. She mentioned she was going to Turks a couple months ago and changed her mind. She pays for airfare only.

In case you didn't watch, Cindy, Tay said during the Morning Breath FB show that she was NOT getting a free room.

You have no knowledge of what she had comped or not. Bottom line is the cost of the event far exceeded the cost of the activities. Where was all the extra $$$$ going? Into someone's pocket! If Taylor really didn't know that as she claimed today then she has an enormous amount to learn. She's not a newbie! She is college educated and has been in this field for 10+ years. It's easy to proclaim ignorance to not face that listeners were wise to what she & Melissa were doing.
