Chatmosa Session - Auntie Derek’s Daytime Tea - Thursday 2/19/26

In today’s lively edition of *Auntie Derek’s Daytime Tea*, host Auntie Derek, accompanied by co-hosts Maguardus Moon, Isie Chilli, and Benji, delved into an array of current celebrity gossip, social justice topics, and heartfelt reflections, all while embracing the spirit of Black History Month. The session, streamed live, was a flavorful blend of humor, seriousness, and heartfelt admiration for unsung heroes in the Black community.

Auntie Derek kicked things off by honoring Cushion Thompson, the pioneering voice behind the viral *#BlackGirlMagic* movement. He shared how this grassroots campaign emerged in response to negative stereotypes surrounding Black women and how it has since evolved into a powerful affirmation of identity and empowerment. “I had no specific hopes when I created the hashtag,” Thompson said, reflecting on her emotional journey and the unexpected impact of her words. Auntie Derek’s poignant tribute and the accompanying visual presentation served as a reminder of the magic that exists within the community and the importance of uplifting each other.

As the conversation segued into juicier territory, the group couldn't resist discussing Prince Andrew, whom Auntie Derek humorously dubbed “Regular Andrew.” Breaking news revealed that the former prince was arrested on his birthday over allegations connected to the Epstein scandal. “Happy birthday, bitch-ass motherfucker!” Auntie Derek exclaimed with a chuckle, underlining the absurdity of the situation. As they recounted the details, it became clear that this saga is far from over, leading to speculation about the future ramifications for Andrew, especially amidst critiques from the monarchy.

The session also brought attention to the ongoing struggles of public figures like IHeartMemphis, whose recent legal troubles seemed increasingly tied to mental health issues. With heartfelt empathy, Auntie Derek emphasized the need for support systems in place for artists undergoing crises, stating, “We just know across the country, period, like in this country, they will kill Black men, especially in a mental health crisis.” This sentiment resonated strongly, highlighting the critical intersection of mental health awareness and the performance pressures placed on artists.

Adding to the mix, Tisha Campbell emerged as a beacon of positivity through her conversation about supporting Gabrielle Union during her early career. “I saw the potential,” Campbell asserted, making it clear that lifting each other up is vital in creative spaces fraught with scrutiny. Her commitment to providing the young actress with therapy sessions exemplified a spirit of sisterhood that resonated with the audience, earning applause for her enduring kindness and wisdom.

In this episode, not only did listeners engage with deeply personal stories and cutting-edge celebrity news, but they also found themselves part of a broader conversation about pride, resilience, and community support. As Auntie Derek concluded the session, he invited his followers to engage in this conversation further while looking forward to the next live stream.
