During the live Ross can be heard saying, “I’m standing in front of Emma, talking to her like this, and she’s in front of me, her back against the mirror. She goes, “John, Angelica‘s being mean.” Ross continued: “I know she’s not being for real. She’s just being whatever. And John is like, “OK, ladies, that’s enough. Let’s get back to work.” And she then looks at me and she goes, “Don’t you mean lady?” And she turns around like this and covers her mouth [with her shirt].
