information that we receive here in The
Newsroom we take you now to the special
report is missing L is missing L is
missing I didn't have nothing to do with
it I don't know where latata is don't
look at me let me tell you something
about L she doesn't take no for answer
she was never afraid to go out there and
just get what she needed to get she had
to be in charge she got angry and she
actually attacked me suddenly latata
comes just flying in seeking out the
spotlight I guess just couldn't stand
[Music]
it
latata I hate to admit this you know
guess now would be the right time and
the perfect place but Lata and I
actually blood cousins latata Jenkins
was born in Detroit Michigan in October
of 1980 and it was clear from the
beginning that she stood out from the
rest family friend and Mentor Oswald
Watkins yeah I used to babysit L you
know what I mean she fisty little thing
you know she's a cool person she was
just raised in the environment to where
she doesn't really have to hold her
tongue well I remember even in the first
grade she was always trying to prance
around like she was better than all the
other girls and stuff and always trying
to take somebody man and I had a
boyfriend again in the first grade that
she took from me and I didn't appreciate
it and she ain't never apologize for
taking somebody man malicious behavior
aside one thing was for certain there
was something about Latana that stood
out what was it about Latana that didn't
stand out that child was a terror her
name should have been Lara not
Latana everything had to revolve around
Latana I could not get her to really be
able to play with the other children I
know you did you just took my hair you
girl whip your off she was the queen be
she had to be in charge she was a very
gifted child though
as a child latata showed promise as a
dancer once in high school she decided
to put her talent to the test by
auditioning for the cheerleading squad
she came to our school for our
cheerleading tryouts and she tried out
and we kind of all didn't like her very
much hey hey hey my name L hey and I
look good hey get with me hey you wish
you could hey hey she's kind of into
boys and her nails why don't broken nail
hold up hold up emergency and she wore
high heels y'all ooh it's strong man
that be footballing over here and then
we started to like her because she
showed us all these neat cheers and
they're really actually really awesome
they're all brand new we've never heard
of them before you g l y you ain't got
no alibi you ugly you
ug we gave her a uniform and then the
next day we had a game with her and we'
all practiced and stuff and then she
broke her ankle there and ever since
we've just never seen her she's never
come back latata viewed her broken ankle
as a sign of failure for a fledgling
Diva failure was not an option and so
the disappearing act quickly became one
of her favorite
tricks after graduating high school at
the middle of her class latata decided
to forego college and took up a job with
her childhood friend at the local
inconvenience
store how you working
work oh
I'm sorry I am late girl but they was
having a b*mb sale now that we got
closed for last oh you we be making a
like cuz I was just down here myself oh
God girl check out these earrings I just
bought I remember this one time when uh
this fine boy had walked into the
inconvenience store right but here come
the all up in this Grill talking about
hey ain't you cute and don't you want to
be with tall skinny girl oh would I look
cute in that wedding dress right there
no I don't think so you funny you should
be a
comedian I don't know who she think she
was but y'all know be calling me out
like that uh turning on lights I I I
wasn't ready I didn't shave and I broke
a nail and I I love latata I I love Lata
because she is a beautiful person and
she is a
good Hanan
humanitarian no
humanitarian but the inconvenience store
was no place for latata it was hard work
and largely unfulfilling but in the
spring latata met and fell in love with
a young entrepreneur named Ricardo she
immediately quit her job and took a
position as a receptionist at dud Co
Enterprises Dear Mr
Snodgrass it behooves me to write to you
regarding the calamitous piling of your
award win winning giant
pumpkin
de what's his name again you know what I
can do this myself is that part of the
memo
no you made me break the nail and
St despite the rocky start latan was
able to maintain her job there eager to
impress Ricardo she told him she was the
boss and indeed it did impress him it
was a fairy tale Romance until one day
Ricardo decide to pay latata a visit at
work I just had to see my lovely
executive at the place where she is the
boss uh well well well well that that's
here and and I'm the boss just like I
told you you uh okay
let's oh oh D you put the pap down over
there that's where I was going tell you
don't back talk me I am deos
you that's what I really miss about L
time she was never afraid to go out
there and just get what she needed to
get but her plan backfired When Miss
Williams caught win of latata scheme she
fired the assertive Diva and ran off
with
Ricardo latata was
devastated deep in her depression she
remembered an early dream of becoming a
world famous supermodel she was a nice
young little tall ly thing had a
mustache thick as mine but she something
was cute about it you know what I'm
saying she worked with her in a in a
restaurant one time I was performing she
was a waitress struggling mod you know
she trying to be a I told her shave up
her lip she probably get more work true
to form the Restless Diva decided to
take matters into her own hands if no
one would give her an opportunity she
would create one for herself fashion
model Tracy Arbuckle I was uh doing a
photo sh**t and suddenly latata comes
just flying in seeking out this
Spotlight I guess you know throws
herself in front of the photographer and
she was throwing around some attitude
models ain't supposed to have last name
Tyra you see what I'm talking about well
I resented the intrusion she was kind of
a diva but um as I as much as I hate to
admit it she has something unique you
know definitely something I haven't seen
before and she has great legs but she's
definitely got to work on that
attitude get
you I'll take
all that's it that was it what that is
the pose go back leg up that's wonderful
we were a little we were a little cranky
because the photographer ended up liking
her more than he liked us I can't say I
want to work with her
again the gamble paid off and soon with
her face on the cover of every major
magazine Lata Jenkins would become a
household name oh yeah you like me
now you inspired me you made me feel
good when we return the rise and fall of
latata Jenkins latata did her thing I
wasn't too
pleased okay uh-uh uh-uh uh-uh okay okay
oh no you didn't oh no you didn't latata
Jenkins new found success as a fashion
model opened the door for a myriad of
opportunities you know when I tried to
give her a job as a reporter on my show
I was thinking maybe she can handle this
put a little money in her pocket you
know make our family proud latata
Jenkins was the Talk of the Town
Hollywood embraced her with open arms
she began a career of unparalleled
success with the help of cousin Nick she
was caught up in a whirlwind that
carries her straight to the top but I
want to give you a hug cuz you look good
oh thank you I could be the next Angel
you could be the next Angel let me tell
you something about that girl she was a
star she wasar rough her success had
skyrocketed her to a point far beyond
her wildest
dreams you were never in the same place
at the same time I was Sting her out to
do some you know on the field reporting
and stuff and she would go do her thing
she was Untouchable a role model for
women all over the world
and she won the admiration of some of
the most influential women in Hollywood
you inspired me you made me feel good um
I'm like I could be myself and want to
be the best version of myself oh you do
do that girl do that you be you through
you know I try to keep up with all my
students and so yes I kept up with
latata and I'm very proud of her I
thought some of the things she did was a
little unusual but I think she's very
gifted very talented and I must say I
have enjoyed watching her but not
everyone thought she was all that friend
and co-star Tech money when I first met
latata you know I didn't really care for
her cuz she was a little too aggressive
but she somehow got my number to my
house two-way sale and my manager's
number and so she invited me on a day
you know went to Universal Studios rode
a few rides her wig fell off that was
cute then we went to the diner
afterwards and she pretty much ate my
food her food and the people next to us
food you know but we had a great time
you used to go to our school hotte uh
Excuse Me Miss two little rude girls
interrupting my little interview here
with tech who do you think you are what
do you think you are I am a
entertainment reporter ain't I Tech uh
yeah that's what you said the T and I
never went out again after the diner
experience because uh I changed my
numbers to my two-way my Cale my house
and my manager number and uh I don't
know if she had time to get those
numbers uh before she disappeared but
she never called me critics and nays
weren't enough to stop the international
Juggernaut as she continued to bask in
the light of her own shimmering
reflection it's all about me I told
y'all It's All About Me lata's notorious
attitude was getting out of hand and it
was about to get the best of her music
Superstar Usher but first of all I only
