As former first lady Michelle Obama tells it, it’s not easy being married to a famous man, describing people "spilling water" on her while trying to reach her husband.
Both Obama and her guest, OB-GYN Dr. Sharon Malone, who joined the podcast that Obama co-hosts with her brother, "IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson," discussed the challenges of being married to famous men on Wednesday.
Malone’s husband is former Attorney General Eric Holder, who was the 82nd attorney general of the United States from 2009 to 2015 under former President Barack Obama.
Michelle Obama recounted the first time she met Malone during an event.
"They put us together because we were both reluctant spouses attending one of these huge dinners," Obama said. "And what, where were they… was Barack a U.S. senator?"
"Yes, he was a senator because you, you were still living in Chicago and Eric was in private practice," Malone said. "So it was just it was very early days."
Michelle Obama said the experience was overwhelming.
"There was a line of people waiting to shake hands with our respective husbands," she said. "You know, people, like, reaching over our heads and spilling water on us, trying to get to these two, you know, illustrious men."
Obama said that she saw Malone across the table and felt a kindred spirit, saying, "She had the same look on her face as I did, like, ‘Here we go.’"
She added that they exchanged a look that said, "You see this? Like, this is crazy, isn't it, girl?" They soon became friends.

Graciousness and humility are two words that will never be used to describe them.
If M was a happy person and loved her husband she wouldn’t be saying this stuff.
Michelle is insufferable. Barrack has probably needed to organize a network of Washington Dem Wives, some of whom have agreed to ‘befriend’ Michelle, when she needs yet another shoulder to cry on about all her terrible ‘struggles’.
Last month must have been Mrs. Holder’s turn.
It probably felt like being called for Jury Duty.
I bet you’re right.
Here are two words that CAN be used: corrupt and evil.
All she does is bitch and complain.
Jeez, what some women do with their time.
Too bad, so sad Mooch.
Cry me a river. And stfu.
Dem Wives, Dem Wives, Dem [BEEP] Wives
Dem Wives, Dem Wives, Dem [BEEP] Wives
Dem Wives, Dem Wives, Dem [BEEP] Wives
Now hear the word of the Left!
Obama, he connected Dem [BEEP] Wives
Obama, he connected Dem [BEEP] Wives
Obama, he connected Dem [BEEP] Wives
Now hear the word of the Left!
Poor Mike. Life has sure been rough for him living in luxury
Lol! That reads like an AI system that is in dire need of a software update! That, or it’s a quote from that Robot Maid seen on The Jetsons.
That wasn’t ‘water’ Mike.
Are we supposed to feel sorry for them?
If Barry and Eric weren’t hate-America commie douche bags I’d feel sorry for them.
Only on Faux News would this be considered news.
Reluctant?
Bike Mike came stomping into the school lunch program ready to tear arms out of sockets if they didn’t let him win.
Then we got the green moldy school lunches.
Mike couldn’t WAIT to wield power.
Men you cannot win.
If you arent famous you’re boring and not motivated or a go-getter.
If you are famous, you take too much of the spotlight from them, you make them feel small and secondary especially if they aren’t doing something that gives them purpose.
So... Eric Holder has a beard too?
She has no friends. I find that odd.
Imagine if she wasn’t a billionaire how hard life would be.
