Celeb stylist and glam specialist Kelly Henderson zooms in from Nashville to set the record straight about her role in Kristin Cavalari’s much reported filing for divorce from Jay Cutler. Laura listens to Kelly present her side of the story for the first time publicly (and it seems to make more sense than the tabloid fodder we’ve all been served). Johnnie convinces Kelly to finally reveal the identity of the dude on her Instagram feed @velvetsedge. Kelly also shares mid-quarantine grooming tips and this summer's trends for hair and skin, both of which involve razors. Plus, Laura outlines her failsafe plan to avoid getting tipsy on afternoon rosé.
