I love that you used a Dakota gif bc just the other day I watched a video of her saying she loved limes/always had them at home only to, in a different video, say she doesn't like limes at all and the limes were just set dressing for the segment she was filming lol It totally took me out bc it was such a random thing to lie about.

[bluestoplights]

the kind of harmless lying i would support celebs doing more of

[ginainabottle]

same, and the way she flat out admitted it was weirdly endearing lol

[treenotree]

I believe she even admitted was allergic to them! Between Ellen, the limes, and telling Jimmy Fallon he should let his guests talk, she really has some iconic interview moments

She’s like 3rd generation nepo lol she don’t give a fuck!

[quietcake]

This is what a nepo baby should do!!!

That was when AD did her house tour and she was making fun of their obvious staging lol.

[rihaty]

Lol yeah she made a lot of jokes about the staging in the video it was obvious to me

[ebenetwo]

Oh wow this was brilliant on her part then

I only watched that snippet out of context but knowing she was making fun of the weird staging makes it even better lol

Re: context for those that are curious LMAO

[ginainabottle]

This edit is much better than the one I watched, I loved it lol

[serenachan]

I think she does the I love limes/I'm allergic to limes thing in the same video, which is funnier. It's a home tour, maybe for AD?
