Cackling non-binary Columbia mob leader brags that he’d beat a Zionist to death

One of the student faces of far-left, anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, Khymani James, expressed “regret” Friday after he went viral online for previously suggesting the murder of Zionists, whom he likened to “White supremacists” and “Nazis.”

Without explicitly mentioning what they were, James copped to inflammatory comments that were first reported by The Daily Wire, during a livestream of an official Columbia inquiry.

“What is a Zionist? A White supremacist,” James said.

“Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists,” he said at another point. “I’ve never hurt anyone in my life, and I hope to keep it that way.” 

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ACCEPTED TO COLUMBIA SAYING ‘NO THANK YOU’ DUE TO ANTISEMITISM: COLLEGE CONSULTANT

James, a junior at Columbia, has been recently quoted in outlets such as CBS News and The New York Times as a spokesman for the anti-Israel protests at Columbia. In 2021, he was profiled in the Boston Globe at age 17 about his “confrontational” approach to fighting “injustice.” 

“So let’s be very clear here,” James, now 20, also said in the video montage compiled by The Daily Wire. “I’m not saying that I’m going to go out and start killing Zionists. What I’m saying is that if an individual that identifies as a Zionist threatens my physical safety in person, i.e., puts their hands on me, I am going to defend myself. And in that scenario, it may come to a point where I don’t know when to stop.” 

In a speech to the camera, James said Zionists should “not exist.”

“I feel very comfortable, very comfortable, calling for those people to die,” James said at the time. “And with that being said, Khymani is signed out.”

In a statement released to X Thursday, James expressed “regret” for some of the rhetoric in his video but also complained that “far right agitators” discovered his language in the first place.

“What I said was wrong,” James wrote. “Every member of our community deserves to feel safe without qualification. I also want people to have more context for my words, which I regret. Far right agitators went through months of my social media feed until they found a clip that they edited without context.”

“I am frustrated that words I said in an Instagram Live video have become a distraction from the movement for Palestinian liberation. I misspoke in the heat of the moment, for which I apologize,” James wrote. 

James also claimed that Zionists have a hateful ideology, likening them to “Nazis.” 

“There should not be Zionists anywhere. Zionists or Nazis,” James said. 

“And so if we can agree as a society, as a collective, that people, that people, that persons, some persons, need to die if they have an ideology that results in the death of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, if there are people like that who exist, shouldn’t they die?”

“Why would we want people who are supporters of genocide to live? I’m confused!” James said. 

“Zionists, along with all White supremacists, need to not exist, because they actively kill and harm vulnerable people,” James said. “They stop the world from progressing.”

“I actually kind of hope they do kick me out because I’ve been meaning to travel to South America,” James said of whether he would remain on as a student at Columbia.

Howard Stern gushes he’s a Biden fan, addresses ‘fake’ interview concerns

President Biden was a guest on “The Howard Stern Show” on Friday, surprising listeners with an unannounced appearance on the longtime radio host’s Sirius program.

“I think I should leave now,” Biden joked, after Stern gushed he was a strong admirer of the president’s and had wanted to meet him for a long time.

“I know everyone’s going to think I’m doing a fake interview with you, but you are really here,” Stern said.

The interview was about as friendly as it gets, with Stern and Biden discussing the latter’s past football playing, his courtship of his wife, his time as a lifeguard, first campaign for the U.S. Senate and other trips down memory lane.

BIDEN ALTERS MARINE ONE WALKING ROUTINE, IS NOW OFTEN SURROUNDED BY AIDES: REPORT

They also delved into politics, with Stern expressing outrage at former President Trump for his rhetoric around the 2020 election and his 2021 phone call where he asked a Georgia official to “find 11,780 votes.” At one point, Stern said he couldn’t imagine Biden losing the election in November but wondered if he was prepared for the fallout.

The timing of the Biden interview with Stern is notable, as he’s chosen to sit down with an avid supporter and not a mainstream news outlet. One day earlier, the New York Times published a stunning statement condemning Biden’s historic avoidance of one-on-one interviews with reputable news outlets.

“For anyone who understands the role of the free press in a democracy, it should be troubling that President Biden has so actively and effectively avoided questions from independent journalists during his term. The president occupies the most important office in our nation, and the press plays a vital role in providing insights into his thinking and worldview, allowing the public to assess his record and hold him to account,” a Times spokesman told Fox News Digital.

“Mr. Biden has granted far fewer press conferences and sit-down interviews with independent journalists than virtually all of his predecessors.” 

The Times also addressed a report from Politico about publisher A.G. Sulzberger challenging Vice President Kamala Harris last year over Biden’s lack of serious interviews.

OPINION: IF HOWARD STERN’S NOT A COWARD, HE SHOULD ASK BIDEN THESE 7 QUESTIONS

“It is true that The Times has sought an on-the-record interview with Mr. Biden, as it has done with all presidents going back more than a century. If the president chooses not to sit down with The Times because he dislikes our independent coverage, that is his right, and we will continue to cover him fully and fairly either way,” the spokesman told Fox News Digital.

“However, in meetings with Vice President Harris and other administration officials, the publisher of The Times focused instead on a higher principle: That systematically avoiding interviews and questions from major news organizations doesn’t just undermine an important norm, it also establishes a dangerous precedent that future presidents can use to avoid scrutiny and accountability. That is why Mr. Sulzberger has repeatedly urged the White House to have the president sit down with The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, CNN and other major independent news organizations that millions of Americans rely on to understand their government.”

Restaurant owner sounds alarm on ‘financial hit’ due to Biden visit

A New York restaurant owner said Thursday that President Biden’s visit to Syracuse would cause a “financial hit” to his business, as the president touted the state of the economy and job creation.

Dr. Fahed Saada, owner of Pita Dream, told “Fox & Friends First” he was “suddenly” informed that the streets in front of his business would be closed for 12 hours during peak business hours, forcing him to cancel the services of third-party delivery groups.

“That’s a major source of our sales at Pita Dream,” Saada said. “This will be a financial hit for us.”

BIDENOMICS STRIKES AGAIN: SHOCKING NUMBER OF FULL-TIME JOBS LOST OVER PAST 5 MONTHS

Saada has also told some employees to “stand by” on coming to work, including local high school students hoping to make extra money during their spring break.

“It’s challenging to keep a small business running these days. This disruption will add to our challenges,” he said.

Biden traveled to the state to announce a preliminary agreement to provide semiconductor manufacturing company Micron with up to $6.14 billion in direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act. 

Biden on Thursday sought to sell voters on an American “comeback story” as he highlighted long-term investments in the economy in upstate New York to celebrate Micron Technology’s plans to build a campus of computer chip factories made possible in part with government support.

The initial phase of New York project would open the first plant in 2028 and the second plant in 2029, with more time expected for the next two factories to be completed.

Saada argued there are more pressing issues facing the nation that the president needs to prioritize.

“This is such a big deal,” Biden said. “We’re bringing advanced chip manufacturing back to America.”

He added: “It’s one of the most significant science and technology investments in our history.”

“As a Palestinian-American who believes in really putting America first, it troubles me to see funds go overseas… tax dollars being used in many ways to harm innocent people, like people in Gaza,” he said, referring the president’s signing of a $95 billion foreign aid bill this week.

“We should use this money here, fund our VA system, ensure no one is without a home, support our police force, address significant issues like drug use, mental health disorder, gun violence. Especially since our city mourns the recent loss of two brave officers just last week.”

A recent Fox News Poll revealed over half of voters believe they are worse off today compared to four years ago.

“Things seemed much better under President Trump’s terms regarding our national priorities and how we manage our resources,” Saada said.

California high school student exposes alarming state of ‘woke’ education

California high school student Jordan Brace took a hard stance against the progressive state’s approach to education, which she branded a “failure.”

Brace explained on “Fox News @ Night” Wednesday that her state ranks 33rd nationally in math and 38th in reading, placements that she believes are too low. 

California was ranked 38th overall for Pre-K through 12th grade education, according to U.S. News and World Report. 

In her op-ed, Brace wrote: “It seems like the entire California Department of Education is more focused on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and their woke ideologies than giving students a proper education.”

NEW CALIFORNIA LAW GIVES THE STATE MORE POWER OVER LOCAL SCHOOL BOARDS

“I feel that kids my age and just all throughout our country are now being exposed to diversity, equity and inclusion rather than conservative values and things that they should be learning about,” she explained to host Trace Gallagher. “Instead of focusing on DEI and things that are being used to divide us, we should be focusing more on students’ education and making sure that they have the skills and tools that they need to have a successful future.”

Jill Simonian, outreach director for PragerU Kids, said the statistics coming out of California’s education system are “terrifying” and warned students are not being taught the fundamentals of becoming an informed adult. 

But Brace’s op-ed provided hope. 

“It really proves that young people are intelligent, and they are catching on to this, and they’re not going to have it anymore,” Simonian said. 

CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS FORCED TO SPEND $2 BILLION OF COVID-RELIEF FUNDS TO ADDRESS LEARNING LOSS AFTER LAWSUIT

Brace then expanded her argument to include the Department of Education as a whole, saying it’s “very important” for young people to look to their parents as role models and for direction.

“I honestly think that this school system is not only failing students, but parents too. They’re taking away not only their rights to their children’s education, but their rights to their lives at home. I mean, parents who aren’t allowing their children to go ahead and transition their genders and stuff are being called domestic terrorists, and I think that’s absolutely ridiculous,” she explained.

Simonian agreed, emphasizing the importance of instilling values at home so that children are well-equipped to enter the world as adults.

“It’s our job to become educated and informed citizens of this country,” Simonian said. “And our school system, not only in California but nationwide, we are the only school system that is actively teaching our children to hate this country and to divide each other by differences. It’s shameful.”

Authorities scour new area as alleged serial killer’s list of victims is expected to expand

Law enforcement sources say a search conducted in the eastern Long Island community of Manorville, New York, where partial remains of two of the 11 Gilgo Beach victims were discovered, is connected to the ongoing investigation in the case.

Suffolk County police deferred comment to the district attorney’s office. District Attorney Ray Tierney’s office declined to confirm a connection to the Gilgo victims but acknowledged a search was underway in the area this week.

“The Suffolk County Police Department, the New York Police Department and the New York State Police are working with the District Attorney’s Office on an ongoing investigation,” his office said in a statement. “We do not comment on investigative steps while they are underway. We will make further statements when appropriate.”

SUSPECTED GILGO BEACH SERIAL KILLER REX HEUERMANN ‘NOT CAPABLE’ OF MURDERS, WIFE SAYS AFTER JAIL VISITS

Suffolk police found 11 sets of remains along a remote stretch of Ocean Parkway in 2010 and 2011 after a woman named Shannan Gilbert called 911 for help and vanished from the gated community of Oak Beach.

Among them were the Gilgo Four, Melissa Barthelemy, 24; Megan Waterman, 22; Amber Costello, 27; and Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25. 

It could be the first time ever we’ve had two serial killers use the same dump site, but I doubt it.

— John Kelly, criminal profiler

Police arrested New York City architect Rex Heurmann in connection with those slayings in July. He lived a 20-minute drive from Gilgo Beach in Massapequa Park.

After Heuermann’s arraignment, Tierney vowed to continue using the grand jury process to investigate the other deaths.

“It could be [grand jury related[, but I don’t think it is,” Joseph Giacalone, a former NYPD sergeant and cold case expert who teaches at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, said of the new Manorville search effort. “I think it comes in as a tip that must’ve had some corroboration.”

SUSPECTED SERIAL KILLER REX HEUERMANN’S LAWYER DEFENDS ‘SADISTIC’ INTERNET SEARCHES IN GILGO BEACH CASE

He praised the county’s handling of the investigation and willingness to consider whether there may be additional victims.

Gilbert’s remains were the last ones found, and police years later said she had died accidentally, although her official cause of death was ruled undetermined.

However, they still have six unsolved cases, and two of those victims, Jessica Taylor and Valerie Mack, were dismembered and dumped in separate locations. Police first discovered their partial remains in Manorville in 2000 and 2003. Additional remains of both victims were uncovered in the search for Gilbert in 2011.

GILGO BEACH SERIAL KILLER: WHY DNA FROM SUSPECT REX HEUERMANN’S DAUGHTER MATTERS

Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to the Gilgo Four murders and has not been named a suspect in the other deaths.

Tierney, the district attorney who is also the lead prosecutor against Heuermann, has vowed that a grand jury investigation will continue to dig into the other cases.

“John Bittrolff lived not far,” Giacalone said, referring to another Long Island serial killer who prowled the area in the 1990s. “Jessica Taylor and Valerie Mack were found not far from there, and the rest in Gilgo.”

John Bittrolff, another Long Island serial killer, is currently serving two consecutive 25-year to life sentences in prison for the murders of Rita Tangredi, 31 and and Colleen McNamee, 20, whose remains were found stripped naked in Manorville in 1993 and 1994. Both had been strangled and showed signs of severe head trauma.

His victims were last seen in nearby communities – but he also lived in Manorville and was at one point considered a suspect in the Gilgo murders.

Former Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney Robert Biancavilla, who prosecuted Bittrolff for the Tangredi and McNamee murders, said after sentencing that the killer may have been involved in at least one of the Gilgo cases.

Bittrolff’s attorney, Jonathan Manley, denied the claim and said it was a “laughable” attempt to get media attention on the unsolved cases.

However, John Kelly, a criminal profiler who has been following the case for more than a decade, said there may be something to Biancavilla’s prediction.

“I think body parts is really not something we can connect right now to Rex,” he said, noting Hueurmann’s alleged victims were found intact and concealed in camouflaged burlap used by duck hunters.

“Bittrolff was a poser and a cutter,” Kelly told Fox News Digital. “He wanted his last victims, that we know of, to be found.”

He believes the convicted killer likely has additional victims and that investigators likely would know if the case is connected if they do find additional remains in Manorville.

Although both men were accused of killing prostitutes, Kelly said Bittrolff differed from Heuermann in two key ways. Bittrolff met his victims in person rather than online, and both Mack and Taylor vanished when internet use was not as widespread as when police alleged Hueurmann was meeting victims on Craigslist and dating apps.

Additionally, the Gilgo Four were concealed in brush and camouflaged burlap, while Bittrolff’s victims were left to be found.

“He liked to pose them as a way of shock value for investigators,” Kelly said.

The former carpenter was also a hunter who allegedly ate a deer’s heart raw in a bizarre ritual.

Bittrolff has also been suspected but not charged in another homicide, the murder of Sandra Costilla.

“He knew those woods like the back of his hand in Manorville,” Kelly said. “He was always out there hunting.”

Chynna Phillips on why she walks on ‘eggshells’ around husband Billy Baldwin

Chynna Phillips got candid about how a recent move across the country put a strain on her relationship with her husband of 29 years, Billy Baldwin.

In a video shared on her faith-based YouTube channel “California Preachin,'” the 56-year-old singer shared that she and the 61-year-old actor were “bickering and arguing,” noting that moving back to the West Coast had provided the “perfect breeding ground” for disagreements.

“Billy and I have been kind of going at it these past couple of days,” Phillips admitted.

BILLY BALDWIN, CHYNNA PHILLIPS AMONG HOLLYWOOD COUPLES WHO’VE HELD MARRIAGE TOGETHER DESPITE STRUGGLES

She continued, “We have just been getting on each other’s last nerve, which is frustrating, because just when I feel like we’re on a roll and things are starting to get better, we start the bickering again — very easily.”

“I was really proud of myself because we started arguing this morning, and he was like, ‘What do you want?’ And I was like, ‘I want to communicate properly. I want us to have effective communication.’”

After she voiced her need for communication, Phillips said that Baldwin “gained his composure” and she “did the same.” 

“Then we were able to have like a normal conversation about what we were both upset about,” the “Hold On” hitmaker said.

“It was definitely a victory for us because we have a tendency to just sort of spiral and the communication breakdown gets worse and worse, and we’re off to the races,” she continued. “Billy’s my life partner. I mean, he’s the one I want to have the healthiest relationship with. He’s the one that I want to be able to talk to when I’m feeling the most vulnerable or the most upset or the most sensitive or the most in fear. He’s the one I want to be able to say, ‘Oh my gosh, I need to talk to you.’”

“But sometimes I don’t. A lot of times I don’t because I don’t want to rock the boat, or I don’t want to put him in a bad mood, or I’m walking on some eggshells.”

Phillips explained that their breakdowns in communication are “partially my fault.” 

“I take responsibility for it because I need to learn to trust him and speak up and trust that he’ll be able to handle my emotions,” she admitted in the video.

The five-time Grammy Award nominee explained that she sometimes holds back from expressing her feelings to Baldwin since she does not want to “send him into a depression” or give him “anxiety.”

“It just comes down to me not wanting to trigger him, but the truth is that me having that fear is keeping us from true intimacy, because it’s preventing me from opening up to him, and I’m trying to guard his feelings, and yet I’m causing more trouble in our marriage by doing that,” Phillips said. 

“I’m shooting myself in the foot,” she added.

Phillips and Baldwin first met during a chance encounter at an airport in 1991 and tied the knot four years later. The couple share daughters Jameson, 24, and Brooke, 19, and son Vance, 22.

However, the two have weathered many ups and downs in their marriage over the years. In March 2010, Phillips filed for divorce from Baldwin but withdrew her petition a few days later. During a June 2010 interview with Us Weekly, Phillips explained the reasoning behind her decision to file.

“I started to feel a little flatlined, like I need more and want more, and I know we deserve more from our marriage,” Phillips said at the time. “It became so about the children and so about my business, his business, and I missed him. I really missed him. I missed laughing together, taking our little vacations together.”

Phillips explained that she was feeling “hopeless” about the state of their marriage but had a change of heart after realizing that divorcing Baldwin would be the “biggest mistake of my life.”

The California native told the outlet that the two were able to overcome the rough patch by “working together in therapy.”

Over the past few months, both Phillips and Baldwin have been open about experiencing marital problems in recent years.

In a January video on her YouTube channel, Phillips revealed that the couple had “separated for six months” but eventually reconciled. Phillips did not specify when the split occurred but said that she believed their disconnect began when she dedicated her life to Jesus.

“I’ve been with Billy for 32 years, and we have an awesome marriage, but we definitely had the hardest couple years of our lives,” she said. “I think it’s because I just took the deep dive into Jesus, and I think he didn’t quite know what to do with that because it was kind of all Jesus, all the time.”

“I’m not the same person I was 30 years ago, and I refused to have the same marriage that we had 30 years ago,” Phillips added. “It’s time for us to mature and grow. He was on board, but I think that for him, it was also like, ‘Well, you’re not into the things that I’m into.’”

Later that month, Baldwin joined Phillips in a YouTube video as the pair candidly discussed their marital woes. The couple admitted that they separated for six months but insisted they “worked through it.” 

‘You and I have this sort of systemic problem in our relationship, which is that you see your life and the world through a very different lens than I do,” Phillips told the “Silver” star.

“And sometimes that tends to cause ruptures in our relationship and little chasms, and we are trying our best to be able to navigate those differences in our marriage,” she continued. “The Christianity aspect of it all has been sort of a glaring issue for a while, because [religion] has sort of overtaken my life in many ways. It has perhaps even made you question whether you and I can really make it in the long run.”

“You would never divorce me, but would we be able to stay truly happy and connected and thrive with me being on this trajectory – this Jesus trajectory?” Phillips asked.

Baldwin joked that Phillips had a fantasy of them becoming Jim Bakker and Tammy Faye — “a revival team that travels the country.” Phillips quickly shut down his idea, saying, “Okay, that is so a story that you told yourself.”

“It hasn’t been, become sort of the partnership that you’ve yearned for or hoping for,” Baldwin responded. “But I still absolutely love you, absolutely adore you, and completely support you in your faith. That’s why I’m sitting here now. That’s why we go to church together. That’s why we pray together. That’s why we talk about faith together. That’s why I do this stuff for you.”

“It’s because I’m a supportive, loving husband who adores his wife, wants to spend the rest of my life with you, no question.”

Phillips said she finds it “slightly perplexing” that Baldwin believes in God but has not made his “quest to have a relationship with this God” a “priority.”

“I just want you to begin your journey, your faith journey,” she added.

Phillips is the daughter of the Mamas & the Papas co-founders John and Michelle Phillips and the half-sister of Carnie Phillips and Bijou Phillips. Chynna and Carnie, along with Wendy Wilson, comprise the pop music trio Wilson Phillips.

Baldwin is the brother of fellow actors Alec Baldwin, Stephen Baldwin and Daniel Baldwin. Alec has been making headlines lately with his recent incident with an anti-Israel protester, as well as his upcoming trial for involuntary manslaughter for the fatal shooting on the set of “Rust.”

Mahomes gives 2-emoji reaction to drafting record-breaking WR

The defending Super Bowl champions just got even more dangerous.

The Kansas City Chiefs, less than three months after winning their second-straight Super Bowl, traded up on Thursday in the first round of the NFL Draft to fill a huge team need.

Despite the Chiefs getting hot at the right time, Kansas City struggled to find many threats in the passing game, as they did not have anyone go for 1,000 receiving yards (Travis Kelce had 984 while missing two games).

Upcoming sophomore Rashee Rice burst onto the scene later in the season, but outside of that, trust was scarce in the pass-catching department.

Well, the Chiefs now have the fastest guy in the NFL on their team after drafting Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy.

Worthy ran a 4.21 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, the fastest ever recorded.

So, how did Patrick Mahomes react? With just a couple emojis:.

FALCONS SELECT QUARTERBACK MICHAEL PENIX JR IN DRAFT STUNNER AFTER SIGNING KIRK COUSINS

In his third and final season at Texas, Worthy posted career highs with 75 receptions for 1,014 yards. In his career, he had 197 catches for 2,755 yards and 26 touchdowns. 

Mahomes said his first 40-time of 4.25 at the combine was “crazzyyyy,” so one could imagine his thoughts about the record-breaker.

Worthy’s bugaboos have been his small frame (he is only 160 pounds) and his drop issues, but game-breaking speed like his could outweigh those negatives.

His Longhorns won the Big 12, which earned them a trip to the College Football Playoff, but they lost to Washington, Ross’s alma mater, in the Sugar Bowl. The Huskies eventually lost to Michigan, where Worthy initially committed.

Worthy was named to the Big 12 first team last season, his second such nod. He also made the first team in 2021 and the second team in 2022.

Gisele Bündchen breaks down in tears to police officer following a traffic stop

Gisele Bündchen had a run-in with police that ended in tears.

The supermodel was driving around Surfside, Florida, on Wednesday when she was stopped by police for driving erratically. The officer who pulled her over let her go without issuing a ticket, but in bodycam footage obtained by Fox News Digital, she quickly became emotional.

“I was just trying to stay [away] from that guy,” Bündchen told the officer, referring to a paparazzo who had been pursuing her.

The officer acknowledged that he knew who she was and understood the situation, but told her that he couldn’t do anything to help her with it.

“Yeah, but he’s, like, stalking me,” she said.

Bündchen was told she’d have to file a report with the police in Miami Beach, since that’s where the photographer originally began tailing her. The officer apologized for not being able to do more, and that’s when she began crying.

“I’m so tired,” Bündchen said through tears. “Everywhere I go I have these f—ing guys after me. Nothing protects me. I can’t do nothing. I just want to live my life.”

“I can’t prevent them from doing their job, which is to take pictures,” the officer responded as she sobbed.

“I don’t know how that’s allowed,” she told him.

He asked if he could do anything else for her, and she said no, then thanked him.

Reps for Bundchen did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Bündchen moved to Miami in 2020 with then-husband Tom Brady and their two children, Benjamin and Vivian, when the since-retired quarterback joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After their divorce was finalized in 2022, she continued living in the area.

Last month, the model became emotional for a different reason, during an intimate interview in which she was asked about Brady.

In an interview with Robin Roberts on “IMPACT x Nightline: Gisele Bündchen: Climbing the Mountain,” the supermodel broke down in tears when asked about the end of the relationship.

“You didn’t think the marriage would end,” Robin Roberts asked her.

“And it’s heartbreaking, you know, to go through that,” Bündchen responded.

“You said it was, I think the phrase you used, the ‘death of a dream,'” Roberts said, referencing public remarks Bündchen made after the divorce was finalized. “How are you?”

“Well, when you say…” she began before turning her head away from the camera. “Sorry, guys, I didn’t know, can I have a little moment?” Bündchen asked, trying to collect herself. 

After doing some breathing exercises, Bündchen got introspective, telling Roberts that the divorce was “a transition that had to take place.”

“I don’t think you wish for that, you know. But I think sometimes in life things happen… I feel so blessed because, like, I wouldn’t change anything in my life. I had incredible experiences, I learned so much, I have my children, which are the biggest blessings in my life,” she told Roberts. “I get to learn new things… I’m grateful for all of it. I’m grateful for every lesson.”
