While hosting her first episode of Let’s Be Clear, Doherty invited one of her daughter’s closest friends, Anna Marie Kortright. While speaking with the guest, Doherty’s mother talked about the grief that followed the death of the Heathers actress. Kortright, too, revealed, "I have yet to really cry. We both have really held it together because we've been together taking care of each other."

The new host, too, added to Kortright’s statements. She said,  "When somebody sees me out, and they're being very kind, and they wanna come up and hug me.” But the thing that Rosa says to them is, “You can hug me, but you cannot cry. Just don't cry because if you cry, I'll start crying and I can't stop.'"
