On this episode of Drinks W/LX, socialite Casey Johnson talks to SuChin about adjusting to life in Los Angeles after having grown up in the heart of New York City (at 1:00), the inspirational trip to Cambodia which ultimately inspired her to adopt a child (2:25), her thoughts on motherhood and raising a child in the spotlight (4:50), and what it’s like transitioning from growing up with abundant wealth to establishing her own business (5:40). Casey also shares the pitfalls of living with such a notorious name (8:20), the lifestyles of her famous friends, Nikki and Paris Hilton (10:35), and the humiliation she felt stemming from the scandal between herself and her aunt, Libet Johnson (12.50)… and of course her optimistic outlook on her future (14:20).
SuChin’s Take:
Well…. I mean what do you really expect me to say about Casey…. the only thing I really wanted to ask her was if she was looking to adopt a little Asian girl, I would be more than happy to change my last name and call it a day. She’s the heir to the Johnson and Johnson brand—I don’t need to fill in the crazy stories, I think everyone else does a better job at that.
For me, I think I was really amazed that she was so candid and open and had no problems addressing her personal life, the drama of her family arguments, and how she wants to try to do things differently for herself and this family she’s about to have. I don’t hang around that set, so I couldn’t tell you personal stories or encounters with Paris, Nicky, or Casey, but I can say that for someone who could’ve just talked about luggage, private planes, and make-up, she does have ambitions to be something else and truthfully, has regrets and owns up to them. Whether she fails to convince anyone else, well that’s their problem, not hers.
