Brandi Glanville said her sons are boring because they have never tried cocaine during a recent episode of her podcast [1].
The comments from the former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star highlight a stark contrast between her own history of substance use and the lifestyles of her children. This public admission brings attention to the generational divide in drug experimentation and the normalization of past narcotic use in celebrity circles.
Speaking on the Saturday episode of "Brandi Glanville Unfiltered" on July 22 [2], Glanville discussed her sons, Mason, 23, and Jake, 19 [3]. She said the young men are boring, citing their lack of drug use as the primary reason [1].
"My kids are boring because they've never tried cocaine," Glanville said [1]. She said the two do not even like to drink [4].
Glanville contrasted the habits of her children with her own experiences from decades ago. She suggested that such drug use was common during her youth, a period she linked to a specific era of social norms.
"Well, I mean, let's be clear, we've all done cocaine in the '90s," Glanville said [5].
The podcast episode, which aired earlier this week, has sparked conversation regarding the appropriateness of a parent labeling their children as boring for avoiding illicit substances. Glanville's remarks frame the avoidance of cocaine and alcohol as a lack of excitement rather than a health-conscious choice.
“"My kids are boring because they've never tried cocaine."”
Glanville's comments reflect a specific cultural perspective where drug experimentation is viewed as a rite of passage or a marker of a 'lived' experience. By characterizing her sons' abstinence as 'boring,' she centers her own past drug use as a benchmark for an interesting life, potentially trivializing the risks associated with cocaine while framing sobriety as a social deficit.
