Episode description
This week on Hollywood at Home, actor, writer and producer Mayan Lopez takes us behind the scenes of “Lopez vs. Lopez” and opens up about the real life experiences that inspired the hit show. Lopez shares candid stories from a childhood spent on set and in a household struggling with addiction, infidelity, and divorce. She goes on to examine the role that humor has played in processing her complex past and familial relationships, and the ways in which the show and her character on it have helped her learn and grow. With reflections on guest judging “Rupaul’s Drag Race,” making the first TV show adapted from TikTok content, and growing up immersed in the entertainment industry, Lopez paints a picture of her life and work that is equal parts honest, heartfelt, and funny.
