“I’ve seen her [Mercy],” he remarked. I was talking to Cross before the show, and I know she [Mercy] likes me and I like her.
“So there’s a similarity there.” That should be the start of anything, whether it’s friendship or anything else. We actually enjoy each other.”
“There was nothing romantic with KimOprah,” Pere claimed of his relationship with her. She’s always been a good buddy. It’s just a casual friendship. I was aware of it from outside the House. We’ve hung out a few times. Nothing out of the usual happened.”
Kanyidaily recalls that Pere fumes as Alex threatens to slap him.
