This is beautiful, haunting and moving. People often thing because others are beautiful, life is great and that is often so far from the truth. Beauty attracts the worst predators.
It takes courage to share what she did. No one is in a position to judge her unless they go through exactly the same as she did since early childhood - which is impossible. What I saw is a beautiful transformation process. I appreciate the lessons learned she was willing to share.
I have caught interviews through the years of Otis and this is even more real and heartfelt than the others. A complex and sensitive being that has the courage to stand up and reveal her story. Anyone that can find the negative in that intention wouldn't be able to see the beauty anyways. But this transformed Otis could care less of those types and that's what's amazing- so happy for her!
The message at the end really ought to be taught in schools, especially to women but also to men. Learning to love, value and make choices of self care ought to be part of education.
Good catch! The message at the end is the real point of this talk, and it's been overlooked and overshadowed by unqualified judgements against the messenger. Thank you, Ms. Otis, for sharing a piece of Truth with us.
You are wonderful. Thank you so much for this amazing, raw and real Ted Talk. Your vulnerability really spoke to my heart. You spoke for women all over the world with the truth of your story and the spiritual place you spoke of being possible. Thank you for being so real and beautiful. As a woman I felt every part of your story and the great joy ypu have found. Thank ypu for the encouragement.
Unbelievable! Thank you for your courage to say something about what you've gone through. I watched Wild Orchid years ago and didn't realize the complications it brought to your life. I will never see it again in the same light.
Wow!!Touching, inspiring and thought provoking at so many levels. I will never think of that movie in the same way again! Just comes to show how the reality of what we see with our own eyes and what's going on at a deeper level can be as different as night and day. Thank you Carrie for being brave enough to be vulnerable and share your story.
What a BEAUTIFUL human being!!! Thank you for sharing your story. It must have been very hard. Very disappointing about the Wild Orchid movie and the Hollywood industry in general. Glad to see women finally reclaiming themselves around the world. You are an inspiration! Best wishes to you and your family.
Carre, that was powerful, your triumph through your journey was proof there is Love divine, thank you for sharing your story. May God continue to bless you as you continue to bless others. I am truly moved.
a beautiful authentic sharing, thank you carre, wise words for us all to follow, self love if we can achieve it in life, is the biggest gift, then to share that with others is icing on the cake... congratulations for achieving that position.
Used to not like her but after watching this I was mistaken. Im sorry Carre for judging you when I didn't even know you and what you went through. Peace to you.
Thank you for sharing your story with such honesty and vulnerability. I am so very happy to discover your talk. It is inspiring to see how you transcended all the pain and darkness into the power of self-knowledge and realization.
It is. Unconditional love. It is a process as we are taught the opposite in society - that everything on the outside will fix our problems and in fact, we are constantly lured and bombarded with such messages while the outside is a reflection of where we're at. Everything we need, lies in us.
Wow.....the beauty inside and the essence of Carre......the true test of a woman who has it all and has to find this for herself........the story of how beauty as a place of union and sacred feminine source is so needed in this world of illusion that decries the magic of being real........deep respect and gratitude for her sharing and her life........blessings and love.....
Thank you for sharing, no way it's easy to start loving yourself when you grow up without that kind of understanding of thing as such. I see it everyday. I am sure there are people who were need hear this. So glad you found man who help you reunite with yourself. :)
She did the work on herself prior-she was 3/4 there when she met her husband. She was healthy in terms of her boundaries, self worth and growth, healing and understanding self love. All in her book.
I don't think it is logical to compare struggles. There are peoples who have very little, yet they are happy. They can derive pleasure from little things in life and this is true even if it could be hard to believe. I respect Carre otis's struggles, as one can see and hear, she is a human being speaking from her soul. There is nothing fake in everything she said, it was all genuine.
I watched " Wild Orchid" when it came out! You were just so Beautiful! But I never knew what was going on in your Life! So sorry you went thru so much. So grateful you are very happy now! You deserve it!
It is very strange to hear her talk like that because for me "Wild Orchid" is a true masterpiece touching the soul much more than the body. I guess then that creating masterpieces like that takes human sacrifices, don't know what else to say.
Young women need to have family and friends they trust to protect them, live with them and travel with them if they enter into the modeling or film industry. She was 17 years old. We over estimate the ability of young women (and boys) to protect themselves from aggressive, bad intentioned adults.
I'm very happy for you to found yourself and love her💖 that is the path everyone is walking. Some of us get lost some found the way within.. Great love from me to you brave women 🙏
I could sense a fragility in the movie Wild Orchid... I canot stand the crooked mind and behavior in once scene wich does not value a spiritual lady... This agent in Paris is a monster... This message is full of dignity and spirituality. Glad to know you are fulfilled and live in harmony... How mothers raise kids is the key !
I have no sympathy for post sexual regrets. Money blinded this woman, and she now realizes she had her priorities wrong, but this is not a sad story. This is a story of a woman growing up.
Shame. Mickey adored her, picked her for that role, married her, fought for her while she was high on drugs. She didn't have a gut to turn him down before he sacrificed so much for her and now she is pointing her unpolished finger at him blaming for abuse. What a shame! I wish she never went to casting for that f***ing Wild Orchid to save him so much heartbreak and disappointment.
Even IF you have a good sense of self, and are very able to defend yourself, and good in "delineating"- I can promise there will still be guys who'll never stop to try to molest you sexually. I never had that happen to me, but I sure had to fight to stand my ground. And that shouldn't have to be the case at all. It happens to SO many women, and the older you get, the more you learn how big in scale a problem this is.
she talks about abusive marriage and sexual abuse, but she is not being honest to talk about her drug problem. She was a heroin addict. That also contributed to her problem.
She came from a dysfunctional family. Using drugs is another part of dysfunction. She was a young girl in an industry that uses up and spits out young women. Which came first, her addiction or her abuse? Does it matter? She was discussing reclaiming her love for herself. That was the point. Leaving something out is not dishonest. She didn't mentioni she was married to Rourke. Was that dishonest? She had a short talk and chose what to emphasize. Love yourself. Have your own back and the rest will follow.
It was her low self-esteem that made her a star(yes, and her motivation). People with power like to shape raw flesh with low resistance. She is not healed, she is just a product of this whatever asymmetric cycle, that she can not escape.
I like you carre, I have your book! I'm sorry for everything that happened to you! I loved that film wild orchid not realising what really happened behind the scene! Mickey was mentally abusive towards you, unfortunately he had an abusive childhood! He was just as messed up as you were! Mickey tells a different side to the story! but always you've both sorted yourselfs out :)
Thank you, i've come along way in the past months, i actually do love myself these days for the first time in my life or at least have stopped disliking my self. Required a lot of dedicated effort to grow and start healing. cheers*
Pop Rock Men are victims as well. Many don't think they have a right to complain or speak out. The suffering is the same. This is a human story above all.
There is nothing to add to what Otis says herself. A child who come from an dysfunctional family. As the song says: Born in a dead man's town The first kick I was hit when I hit the ground You're up too much Till you spend your life just covering up .... It was a war, she won! The parents started the hostilities, the predators followed. It takes a lot of perseverance and strength to get out.
This is beautiful, haunting and moving. People often thing because others are beautiful, life is great and that is often so far from the truth. Beauty attracts the worst predators.
Our parents set us up to fail and then we get eaten by the predator.
It takes courage to share what she did. No one is in a position to judge her unless they go through exactly the same as she did since early childhood - which is impossible. What I saw is a beautiful transformation process. I appreciate the lessons learned she was willing to share.
What a beautifully STRONG woman. Inspiring.
Yeah of course being a woman yourself you would say that!!
I have caught interviews through the years of Otis and this is even more real and heartfelt than the others. A complex and sensitive being that has the courage to stand up and reveal her story. Anyone that can find the negative in that intention wouldn't be able to see the beauty anyways. But this transformed Otis could care less of those types and that's what's amazing- so happy for her!
I admire her so much for having the courage to share. I can see how hard it was for her and I'm really grateful to have seen this.
She is strong. I need to watch this over and over again. I need that kind of strength. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤
Good for you, Carrie! You recognized being used. You recognized who you really were and your self value.
She has a beautiful speaking voice. And I loved her book. I recommend getting the audio version. She reads it herself.
What's the title of her book?
@@asha_vere beauty disrupted get the audiobook. She reads it herself...Awesome read going to listen to it again..
@@shelleylannon5249 Listening to it currently.....Love it. Authentic and powerful
The message at the end really ought to be taught in schools, especially to women but also to men. Learning to love, value and make choices of self care ought to be part of education.
myknittingblog completely agree
Good catch! The message at the end is the real point of this talk, and it's been overlooked and overshadowed by unqualified judgements against the messenger. Thank you, Ms. Otis, for sharing a piece of Truth with us.
You have risen to a higher power and to an even higher level to share publicly. Thank you
Much Respect...Thank you Carre for being willing to stand in your truth and tell us your story. Much RESPECT.
A courageous and resilient woman. What a sad story; thank goodness you came through, Carre!
You are wonderful. Thank you so much for this amazing, raw and real Ted Talk. Your vulnerability really spoke to my heart. You spoke for women all over the world with the truth of your story and the spiritual place you spoke of being possible. Thank you for being so real and beautiful. As a woman I felt every part of your story and the great joy ypu have found. Thank ypu for the encouragement.
Thank you, Carre - I think you're brave, strong, honest and beautiful inside and outside. Have a good life - you've earned it in spades.
Beautiful sentiment
Unbelievable! Thank you for your courage to say something about what you've gone through. I watched Wild Orchid years ago and didn't realize the complications it brought to your life.
I will never see it again in the same light.
wow. i see so much of myself in her, and really resonate with her story.. thank you for being vulnerable & courageous.
Well...you really are equally beautiful as She was...🙂
Same. Reading her book currently, resonates too.
Wow!!Touching, inspiring and thought provoking at so many levels. I will never think of that movie in the same way again! Just comes to show how the reality of what we see with our own eyes and what's going on at a deeper level can be as different as night and day. Thank you Carrie for being brave enough to be vulnerable and share your story.
What a brave woman. This is true courage.
What a BEAUTIFUL human being!!! Thank you for sharing your story. It must have been very hard.
Very disappointing about the Wild Orchid movie and the Hollywood industry in general.
Glad to see women finally reclaiming themselves around the world.
You are an inspiration! Best wishes to you and your family.
she's so sweet .I can relate to the things that she says,I've been through some similar situations .thank you Carre
Kind authentic soul
She is as powerful as she is beautiful. Very inspiring....
Carre, that was powerful, your triumph through your journey was proof there is Love divine, thank you for sharing your story. May God continue to bless you as you continue to bless others. I am truly moved.
So very courageous, Carré. Thank you for your bravery in sharing your story.

Oh, my goodness. What a courage you have. Admiration.
Am really thankful to have heared about your life Otis. I wish you a good life and peace of mind as well covered with happiness. Thank you a lot
It's wonderful to find the fire that won't be quenched. I loved this talk
👍
So great to see how you have grown into your authentically beautiful self
I have mad respect for her.
Then you are MAD!
Used to not like her but after watching this I was mistaken. Im sorry Carre for judging you when I didn't even know you and what you went through. Peace to you.
Thank you for sharing your story with such honesty and vulnerability. I am so very happy to discover your talk. It is inspiring to see how you transcended all the pain and darkness into the power of self-knowledge and realization.
thanks for speaking out....
A raw, shocking and finally insightful and transformative lecture. I am not one for Ted talks but this was very real.
Strong and wise woman.
Thank you.
WOW, what a remarkable woman. I m so happy she has made a better life for herself
I really love this talk. So deep and true. Self love is the solution to all our suffering.
It is. Unconditional love. It is a process as we are taught the opposite in society - that everything on the outside will fix our problems and in fact, we are constantly lured and bombarded with such messages while the outside is a reflection of where we're at. Everything we need, lies in us.
Thank you so much for this talk, Otis.
I admire this beautiful and empowered woman. ❤❤❤

@@lisaroberts7926 It was stashed in her purse without her knowing and went off accidentally when she flung her purse down. It's in her book.
j'ai vu et revu son film quand j'étais jeune et je collectionnais ses photos.une belle personne.bisou de France.
I'm very happy for you to found yourself and love her💖 that is the path everyone is walking. Some of us get lost some found the way within.. Great love from me to you brave women 🙏

I canot stand the crooked mind and behavior in once scene wich does not value a spiritual lady...
This agent in Paris is a monster...
This message is full of dignity and spirituality.
Glad to know you are fulfilled and live in harmony...
How mothers raise kids is the key !

I have no sympathy for post sexual regrets. Money blinded this woman, and she now realizes she had her priorities wrong, but this is not a sad story. This is a story of a woman growing up.
Well done Carré
Many thanks Carre!
Shame. Mickey adored her, picked her for that role, married her, fought for her while she was high on drugs. She didn't have a gut to turn him down before he sacrificed so much for her and now she is pointing her unpolished finger at him blaming for abuse. What a shame! I wish she never went to casting for that f***ing Wild Orchid to save him so much heartbreak and disappointment.
Absolutely!
Well they were both quite damaged to be honest .
She ONLY got the part because She was beautiful... But She was a horrible actrees
+ 100 it is not fair at least
Even IF you have a good sense of self, and are very able to defend yourself, and good in "delineating"- I can promise there will still be guys who'll never stop to try to molest you sexually. I never had that happen to me, but I sure had to fight to stand my ground. And that shouldn't have to be the case at all.

A Plicqu she was not a young girl. A 6 year old is a young girl ffs
A lot of young women that are drug users are abused. One doesn’t negate the other.
@9:22 she is talking about her marriage to Mickey Rourke, she married him after they filmed together Wild Orchid, I just saw the movie today.
Did Micky shot her?
Wow this is a very inspirational lady 👏❤
It was her low self-esteem that made her a star(yes, and her motivation). People with power like to shape raw flesh with low resistance. She is not healed, she is just a product of this whatever asymmetric cycle, that she can not escape.
THANK YOU!!! CARRE OTIS FROM ALL NAIVE GIRLS!!! THANK YOU FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!
I like you carre, I have your book! I'm sorry for everything that happened to you! I loved that film wild orchid not realising what really happened behind the scene! Mickey was mentally abusive towards you, unfortunately he had an abusive childhood! He was just as messed up as you were! Mickey tells a different side to the story! but always you've both sorted yourselfs out :)
I wish that I loved myself
Thank you, i've come along way in the past months, i actually do love myself these days for the first time in my life or at least have stopped disliking my self. Required a lot of dedicated effort to grow and start healing. cheers*
Peace with you, it is good of you
In view of the number of victims in the world, children and adults, the majority of men are sick.
They are the ones who need therapy.
Pop Rock Men are victims as well. Many don't think they have a right to complain or speak out. The suffering is the same. This is a human story above all.
What a lovely brave lady
You guys are haters! Her experience is not authentic because she wears make-up and.has surgery. Get out of here.
Beautiful thank you so much for this ❤️❤️
Strong woman.
She is a strong woman, because she has been able to grow from it
and understand, and share.
What a lovely person!
There is nothing to add to what Otis says herself.
A child who come from an dysfunctional family.
As the song says:
Born in a dead man's town
The first kick I was hit when I hit the ground
You're up too much
Till you spend your life just covering up
....
It was a war, she won!
The parents started the hostilities, the predators followed.
It takes a lot of perseverance and strength to get out.
love this...love the audience smiling in recognition too
her rationalizations are so strong they can re-start the Sun
Brave and beautiful woman!
Amazing woman!
I love you Carre, always so beautiful !!
