5 Things We Want to Know About Empire’s Cookie Lyon
Can Tajari P. Henson, please stop being so compelling as Cookie? She’s making it quite demanding to focus on the rest of the show. There was a drive-by shooting, but Cookie wasn’t in the scene, so it didn’t reach DEFCON levels.
- Cookie knows how to cook and set a table? We’re so used to seeing her stomp into other people’s homes to demand food. She likely learned how to serve up fish fingers and creamed corn in the pen. Maybe she got hold of a Costco card on the outside.
- Does Cookie know Boo Boo Kitty’s real name? Do we know Boo Boo Kitty’s real name. Do we even care what Boo Boo Kitty’s real name is at this point? (Okay, it’s Anika Gibbons, but who cares?) Boo Boo Kitty is going to follow Grace Gealey for the rest of her life.
- Where does Cookie shop? She can hand over that furry purple wrap.
- At what job fair did she find the remarkably awkward, “Sorry, but I don’t do taxes” Porsha?
- Can Cookie tell us how Porsha manages to find dead people’s social security numbers to help her evade taxes? Sounds like a solid life choice.
