“Let me tell you the story of how it came to be because it involves Jelly (Roll) and Bunnie (Xo). One of my best friends is Bunnie, I love that woman so much, we are very very close. She was doing her book tour, she was doing her live podcast, she was in LA so she text me and was like, ‘Can you come on?’ I was like, ‘Absolutely.’ So I get there and her manager comes and gets me and she’s like, ‘You’ve got a friend in there.’ I was like, ‘Who?’ And I go down there and it’s Brad Slater, so that’s Dwayne’s (The Rock) agent,” Paige said.
“I’ve known him for over 10 years because of Fighting With my Family and stuff, great guy, always checks in on me every six months, I’ll get a text from him. So he was in there and he’s like, ‘It’s so great to see you,’ gives me a big hug and then Jelly was like, ‘What the f**k. When are you gonna bring it back? Give a call to your guy.’ And Brad was like, ‘Do you want to come back?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, I would love to come back.’ And then he was like, alright let me make a call,” Paige said.
