"Has anyone died here before? ... Has someone ever been murdered in this fucking house?" — Alex Cooper
"I think to be friends with an ex is totally acceptable to be cordial. You walk into a room. You can be like, yeah, we're like, oh, nice to see you. And you can be totally cordial. But to say connected with an ex. And to be like conversing with that person texting calling. That's going to prohibit you from having. That's going to be a true opportunity to be fully involved in the relationship that either you're in or you're trying to find." — Alex Cooper
"I'm really happy for my girl. But I. Courtney never married Scott to sick. And we saw some of those reasons as to why she didn't move forward with that relationship on keeping up with the Kardashians. I'm personally kind of happy for a woman to woman to kind of see her and see her being an example as a woman who never settled." — Alex Cooper
