“Oh my God,” Fergie says. “This is crazy. I’m trying to collect myself right now. Wilhelmina Modeling owner Sean Patterson just pulled the biggest one on me with my husband. I love you honey, and I love you Sean, honey, wherever you are. Get up here! My two boys – or men.”

Still, Fergie doesn’t take all the credit for her successful ventures.

“Whenever I get on the stage, whether on tour or at a special event, I, above anyone, know that my performance exists as the sum total of the work of hundreds, sometimes thousands of people – I keep popping the microphone, sorry. I’m trying to make a beat. Where’s will.i.am?”

She continues, “In that same regard, I know that I would not be here getting this recognition without the incredible support of the 6 ½ million Avon representatives around the world. audience hoots and hollers Some of whom are here today. The top seven. They’re like pitbulls in a dress. Yeah! And they are some of the most inspiring people that I know.

“I accept this award, amazingly. It is so crazy. It shows me, just like my girl Oprah taught me, that no dream is big enough, and I want to thank all of you.

Josh lovingly puts his hand on her neck, and they joke to the strains of Son of a Preacher Man before they head backstage, where she dances with her award.

“It’s fun,” he says. “It’s just fun.”

She looks at him lovingly. Of his appearance, she tells reporters “I am shocked. Genuinely surprised.”
