\namazing and fun time at the show in Rome tonight, as is evident in
\nthe clip of myself laughing, however it\u2019s placement as if it was at
\nthis moment of the show is FALSE. I do not laugh at competing men
\nand women. I respect them! Win lose draw! Bravo to all the
\ncombatants and thank you!\u201d<\/p>\n
