Hollywood Love Story (2018): Season 1, Episode 3 - Sky - full transcript

Skylar is an LA-raised model/actress/DJ who grew up with a hair metal dad and a swimsuit model mom. @sky_sky documents her glamorous life but is struggling to make it.

♪♪

Paris: I'm an Aquarius.
I'm naturally a very creative person.

I love designing.
I love creating.

I love entertaining people.

I get to DJ at some of the most
incredible clubs

and music festivals
all around the world,

so I'm basically working
from day to night,

but I love what I do.

My advice is if you're a DJ,
you're a model.

Getting an agent or somebody
to help you out,

it takes, like, a great team
of people to make it happen.



People can't just do this
all on their own.

My name is Skyler.
Everyone calls me Sky Sky.

I'm born and raised in LA.
[ Siren wailing ]

Everyone is here to, like,
follow their dreams

in the entertainment industry,

and that's kind of, like,
what I'm into as well.

I want to be known for,
like, being like Sky.

Like, this is what Sky Sky
is because I'm literally

doing everything I want
to do right now.

Like my acting is great.
I have my manager.

Everything is set.

I just want to do, like,
big things for myself.

I know, like, this life
was meant for me.

Like, I just know, like,
it's going to work out.



[ Thunder crashes ]

[ Static pulsating ]

You don't know
what you did to me.

[ Sniffles ] You don't know
what I went through.

You're a liar!

Can you just leave?

Ah!

♪♪

I'm an actor, model,

dancer, DJ, a student.

♪♪

I still have
another year at UCLA.

How could you put me
through this again?

If you love me,
just freaking listen to me.

Get me the...
out of here now, Brody.

Okay. Okay, babe.

Oh, no!
- [ Screams ]

- Come here!
- Oh! Ah!

- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

I just love performing,
and, like, giving,

like, my energy out
because I have a lot of energy.

I'm freaking crazy sometimes.

♪♪

I always love music
because I'm a dancer, too.

I kind of fell into DJing
because it was something, like,

possible for me to do.

Like, someone showed me once,

and I kind of got
the hang of it,

and then I just fell
in love with doing it.

Because right now, I'm just,
like, okay at many things.

I want to be able to, like,
kill it in one thing.

So my mom is a struggling
single parent doing her thing.

I didn't know we were
going to be hiking.

I'm wearing platforms.

After the divorce, Skyler was
really a jealousy little girl.

She would never late me
date with other guy.

- Oh, yeah. I remember that.
- Oh, you remember?

- Why?
- And she was even suicidal.

You were just a daddy's
little girl.

Aw. He will be in
your life forever.

My parents divorced
when I was younger,

so I'm not super
close with my dad.

He was, like, an '80s
hair metal rocker.

My mom did a lot
of swim suit modeling,

and then when she had me,

she, like, stopped doing
all the modeling stuff

and took care
of my brother and I.

She's done everything for me,
and especially when I started,

like, my acting
when I was younger,

she invested so much money
into, like,

my headshots, like,
acting classes, all of that.

So I just feel like it
makes sense to, you know,

be able to become great enough

so I can, like, give back
to her, you know what I mean?

I'm really proud of Skyler

because she's been -
she's been working super hard.

She will never lose track
of where she wants to go

and where she wants to be.

I just got invited to play
at a friend's party.

I'm kind of nervous though
because I haven't played

in front of, like,
my L. A. friends...

- Mm-hmm.
- ...or at all in L. A.

And Zee is teaching me how to,
like, produce music.

[ Thunder crashes ]

♪♪

Zee is a music producer.

We've been through
a lot together.

He's like my best friend now,
and we work together.

Like, I talk to him on,
like, a daily basis.

Zee.

Zee: What's up?

Oh, look at this cute
little set up.

He's just going to show me
the basics on how to, like,

make your own beats basically.

- Sure do, yes.
- Let's make it happen.

- Yeah.
- I do sound and vision

and music, fashion, design,

the aesthetic, the sound,
everything to go with it.

Sky: Escape is, like,
a label with, like, music,

fashion, like, art.

The whole, like,
aesthetic together.

Pow. [ Chuckles ]

Escape is about vacation
forever and music

that makes you feel
that way and clothes

that make you feel that way.

Anything that makes you aspire

to have a good time forever.

He wanted me to model,
and so then we met,

and like, we just,
like, vibed really well.

I just want to be able to learn
how to, like, you know,

make my own beats
and stuff like that.

I just want, like, original
content at the end of the day.

Yeah, everybody wants
original content.

- Right?
- It's just a little bit of work.

[ Plays keyboard ]

Maybe that's a little too high.
So I'm not inspired by that.

Let's see.
[ Plays lower chords ]

Oh, I like that.
I like the way that feels.

- Mm-hmm.
- Cool. So we record that.

Like, I met him
when I was younger,

and he kind of, like,
showed me around

L.A., and like,
the whole, like, scene

when I didn't really
know anything.

He goes out a lot too, and so
he knows, like, all the people,

who, like, throw parties
and stuff like that.

He did a lot for me to, like,
open the door and, like,

meet all these people

when I didn't have
anything going on.

He loves me, but then
he's seeing -

He's, like, sleeping
with other girls.

So no. Bye, boy.

Like, I can't do that, you know.

You don't deserve me.

Just get the... out.

I was, I guess, too drunk and I,
like, kind of knocked out.

And then apparently, like,
he, like, took some other girl

with him to, like,
another place and, you know.

I'm not going to take
your shit ever again.

- No.
- No.

I guess we were never
in a relationship

because he doesn't believe
in relationships.

But I thought we were
for a little bit. I don't know.

I'm just, you know,
social in general.

That's part of connection.

Like, you can't not be social.

I'm like a monogamous,

like, kind of relationship
kind of girl.

Like, I can't do open relationships.
Man: Yeah.

So even though, like,
that person loves me,

and I do love them,
I can't keep them,

like, intimate with me
if they're seeing other girls,

you know what I mean?
Like, that's not right for me.

When you're out in LA, we got to
stay open to opportunities,

and there's really no limits.

I guess it was stupid,
but I'm still, like -

I still want to
associate myself with him.

I still want to be, like,
in each other's lives.

And I feel like I don't want
to throw that all away

and just be like,
"Fine. I never want to,

like, talk to him again."
Like, no.

We have so much
other things going on.

Like, I don't have
to be that way.

And plus Escape pays my bills.

I - I like the neon-like vibe.

Neon-summer is, like,
my kind of thing.

I look like a cute
little space girl.

I'm going to see my dad today

because I don't
normally see him.

I don't, like, I don't really
even know what he does,

or I don't have...

Like, he doesn't have
a phone number or, like,

any way for me to contact him,

so I'm always, like,
kind of worried.

It's like every time I see
my parents I just, like...

Well, I don't want to be,
like, not disappointed,

but I just want to see
that they're doing well

and that they're happy.

And I just hopefully, like,
everything is all good.

The thing is, like, I don't know
how he's doing or anything,

so that's why, like,
it kind of, like, scares me.

Like, I did see him
at my brother's birthday,

and he looked fine.

So I'm - I hope, like,
he's still good. So...

I'm excited.

I never hung out with him
by myself actually.

I'm always, like, my mom
would invite him over.

Or it would be, like, a family
thing, like, for Christmas,

Thanksgiving, or like
my brother's birthday.

So it's kind of the first time

I'm just, like,
going to see him.

- Hey, Sky!
- Hey.

Wow.

- You look cool.
- You look cool.

How you been?
I haven't seen you in a while. Yay!

I know.
I know.

It's so good to see you.
- Wow. Wow.

- I'm so happy.
- It's been a while.

I haven't seen you in a long time.
I know.

- Wow.
- What have you been up to?

Oh, not much. Hanging out with my
friends, and partying and stuff.

- Really?
- Yeah, what have you been up to?

Same.
Hanging out with my friends...

- Oh, you went to Coachella?
- ...and partying.

- Coachella? Yeah.
- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I've been just working a lot.
- How was that?

- So busy, like...
- Yeah.

Coachella was a lot of fun,
always.

- It's really good?
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- It's always a good time.

I want to go some time with you.

- You do?
- Yeah.

If there's rock and roll
bands there, I'll go.

- Yeah. Thank you.
- You DJing now?

- Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- You DJ?

- That's something new.
- Wow.

- I'm really excited about that.
- Cool.

Yeah, I remember
when you were young,

I used to hang around
Hollywood Boulevard.

- I know.
- Hollywood has changed a lot.

What's it like? It's more
tourist-y, and, you know, like...

- Right.
- ...it's all got bees and shit.

[ Both laugh ]

The strip was like the shit...

- The Sunset Strip.
- Yeah.

- That's where everything...
- That's The Rainbow, Roxy,

- Right.
- ...Whisky.

Yeah. I just walk up and down
and met all kinds of people.

I met Tommy Lee.
There's Britny Fox...

Yeah. No.
Ratt, Poison, all the bands.

Everyone is there, huh?
Yeah, it was all the good bands.

- That's sick.
- That was so cool.

- Yeah.
- It was fun. Yeah.

- Aw, that's cute.
- Then you came along.

Then you were born.
[ Siren wailing ]

Everything changed
in Hollywood, so...

- I know.
- ...it's different. Yeah.

- But it's like...
- It used to be better.

Like, who you surround
yourself with, like,

I feel like if you found,
like, better friends,

- like people that...
- Yeah, who do better. Yeah.

Wow. My dad gets stopped
by people all the time

because they think he's
the guy from Motley Crue.

Yeah, you do. Yeah, man. my dad gets
attention like this all the time...

- Pause me right now.
- Here.

...for just like
looking like that. Oh, my god.

Look at him.
Yeah, Yeah. Get a pic.

Wait, you guys.
Our picture.

Yeah? Cool?
Okay, thank you.

Like, is there anything, like,
you want to do?

Yeah. I want to start
a band back up.

Yeah?
You want to start a band?

Yeah. But, like, what
about, like, not a band?

Like, something besides that?

- You know a lot of musicians.
- It's different.

The industry, the music industry
is different from like...

- That's true.
- ...EDM compared to rock.

There's not so
much rock anymore.

Like, mainstream these days are,
like, music festivals,

like, EDM festivals, and stuff.

- Yeah.
- That's, like...

That's the money
maker right there.

But it's just like times change.

Yeah.

I'm just happy that you're good.

- Yeah. Thanks.
- You know?

And you got to come
when I do have my performance.

Yeah, I'll be there.
I want you to come and see me.

- I'll be there. You know I will.
- Yeah.

Of course you would.
You want to come to my parties.

- Yeah. Cool.
- Okay.

When he says that he still
wants to be a musician,

I'm like, "That's cool, but you
should also maybe look into

doing something else
on top of that

because you can't just, like,

keep on doing that
the rest of your life."

He's not growing, or maybe
he doesn't want to do

anything else, but I don't know.

I tried my best to, like,
convince him to, like,

explore other things.

And even if it's around music,
that's great, but not, like,

specifically only, like,
trying to be in a band.

I definitely sometimes
feel like I'm the parent.

He's not going to listen
until something, like,

clicks in his head, and, like,
when he wants to change himself.

♪♪

Paris: When I was 16,
I met David LaChapelle.

He told me I was his muse,
and that he was like Warhol,

and I was his Edie Sedgwick.

We would do photoshoots
all the time.

Then Vanity Fair saw pictures
he shot of my sister and I,

and they did a huge story on us.

That was before
"The Simple Life,"

and the beginning of my career.

I was really lucky to have
such a talented person

to create with.

He opened my mind to a world
I felt excited about.

Meeting him changed my life.

Hey, guy. What's up?
[ Chuckles ]

When I think about, like,
spiritual things, or I remember,

like, trips that
I've done, you know,

like, with a psychedelic,

especially the DMT I told you
it took, like,

a month for me to recover
from, like, what I saw.

After experiencing that, like,

there's no problem that can,
like, match up to that.

Like, no relationship, no, like,

struggles in life here is that,

like, worthy
of what I went through.

I, like, died first of all,
so I experienced death.

That's, like, the most far out
you can do being alive here.

So that itself, and then just,
I talked to, like,

different entities, I guess.

Like, beings that are not
from this realm, but...

And I didn't even know
existed until then,

so that's just like another,
like, mind-blowing thing to me.

It's heavy. Yeah.

That's why I'm saying, like,
there's nothing else

that can compare to that.

Yes, I think so.

Definitely, like, it gives me
a different perspective on,

like, how to deal
with all my problems.

I was so nervous as hell.

And then Zee comes and,

He gave me, like, a good tip.

He's like, "Don't worry.
Nobody gets, like, the mistake.

You just have to look

That's all they care about.

everything's going, like fine,

Yay. You saved me.

Good work. Oh, my god.
I was so stressed out.

Zee's taught me a lot
and has been there for me

for a long time,
and there is definitely

some emotional attachment
towards that

because it's only, like,
normal that I felt that way.

It was like a whole, like,
process to, like, to become,

like, independent from that
and, like, be my own person,

and, like, actually
appreciate him

as a person now without
any other, like,

emotion blocking that.

I watched a YouTube video.

It's like this New Age shit,
but, like,

if you, like, envision
the parking spot,

you're going to get it.
You see it.

You actually see
yourself parking

and, like, doing it,
you freaking get it.

And it works every time I do it.

Yeah, I remember that one time.

Remember when we were like
driving to the event,

and, like, there's
no parking at all.

It's, like, impossible.

And then, I'm like,
"Okay. You know what?

I'm going to, like,
think positively."

And, like, I changed
my whole mood.

I'm like, "Okay. We're going
to find parking right now.

I see it." The little... Like,
right in front of us, the car backs out.

I'm like, "Great,
take this spot."

I... am so serious.

That kind of shit in life,
like, makes me so happy.

I'm going to make it.
Like, I see it. I can see it.

I'm putting out the energy,

Like, for some reason, like,
I'm confident in myself.

Like, I know, like, things
are going to happen for me.

Like, everything
that I want to do,

I can see it happening,
and it's going to work out.

Paris: Growing up,
I was very lucky to have

so many supportive friends
and family

to help me through life.

When I see how Sky
is working at her career

without much support,
my heart goes out to her.

I want her to know that
she's doing a damn good job.

L.A. hasn't broken her spirit.

You can tell by the way
she still smiles.

Keep this head and heart
and never stop believing.
