When Ray Rolled In With The Read Of The Year
Ray’s shade was always top-tier, but this moment? Instant classic. During a tense scene on ‘Bobby I Love You, Purrr,’ his wheelchair started beeping, and everyone thought it needed a charger. Ray leaned back in silence, building the suspense — then hit Bobby Lytes with, “I just came back from the dead… and they told me you’re still not that girl.” The timing? Flawless. The shade? Eternal.
