Nicole Scherzinger has become the victim of a very awkward interview. This week the singer was put on the spot by talk show host Wendy Williams about her split from "very wealthy" ex boyfriend Lewis Hamilton, and what Wendy noted were seven years of fertility she would never get back - but the singer handled the totally inappropriate questions like a pro.
Broaching the topic of Nicole's split, Wendy said: "The last time I was talking about I was saying, truth, because you're 37, this is a woman who spent seven years of her life breaking up and getting back together. Poor us because THEY can have babies whenever they want. Those are seven years you can never get back and he was really wealthy. I was rooting for you, girl. I'm sorry to hear about that."
Nicole, shakes it off, saying: "It's all right. It's funny. My girlfriends are always like, 'Honey, it's your pretty years now. Come on. Get it together.' [...] You know, everything happens for a reason. I'm a girl of faith and a strong believer, and seven years was a long time."
But not done yet, Wendy pointed to Nicole's womb: "And the good years down here."
With a smile still intact, Nicole said: "Honey, that's all right, though. It's all in the spirit. Whatever you experience in life or relationships, you're obviously meant to grow from it and learn more about yourself. I think as women, we...I'm still learning so much. There's a quote by Buddha-if you've ever heard of him-that I like to live by and it says, 'In the end three things matter: How much you loved, how gently you lived'-like how kind and gracious and compassionate you are-and, oh, fart, what was the last thing? It was even better. No, no, no. 'And how gracefully you let go of the things not meant for you.'
"So, that's really important. You have to know, for us women, we're really hard on ourselves. Sometimes we get into situations, but I think if you really trust, you work on yourself and you have faith, just know that things are working for you, not against you and not at you."
Still not done on the topic, the host then added: "And you'll find somebody new. You'll find a better one."
Clearly Wendy has missed the point, but we salute Nicole for turning around the host's squirm-inducing comments.
