@@backlashtoignorance7371 Truth, Oprah's insensitive ambush-treatment of Toni Braxton, Whitney and Monique is deplorable and ultimately contributed to their respective, subsequent mental and physical distress; a socially-responsible female host should know-better.
She’s a fighter! The fact that she even showed up says a lot about her. She could easily choose to give up, and she still keeps going. PROUD OF HER! PRAYING FOR HER!
She was forced to show up. Make oz look good. Make the dr look good for treating her. Make moms look good for getting her help. Rewatch and really watch. She ain’t good. Meanwhile, the last segment was trying to get her a gig. Exploitation at its finest
She's really struggling to communicate clearly, wrestling all the inner voices to come across in one coherent voice. God bless her. You can see the pain in her eyes. I'm not sure she was truly ready for a public interview but it was so brave of her to do it. We see you, Lark. ❤ You're not forgotten. She's bringing mental health awareness to light.
Because they’ve destroyed her with their crap they’re drugging her telling her what she can and can’t do I believe she’s fine but years of being owned by these people you WOULD see this. They destroyed her. I left a more in depth comment on here
Especially since she was a jehovah's witness. They tend to shelter their kids a little more than many, so she was likely in for a culture shock at minimun
You can tell how intelligent she is, just by how articulate she is in conversation. She was so poised in this interview. I pray it only gets better from here.
Like always, even off cameras he tries to help people, on the other hand I can't stand dr Phill because he lacks compassion and he is sometimes really rude with his guests.
She is so hurt! I hate that she's going through what she is. She's such a beautiful woman and a lovely spirit. I'm fully rooting for her! The show reboot should be boycotted by the real fans of the show as we all know there's no Saved by the bell w/o Lisa Turtle! Praying for you Lark! May The Most High Almighty Father restore all that was taken from you dear heart! Much love and God speed in your recovery!
Yeah u can tell she’s not all there. It’s just the way she carries herself. I can’t describe it but you can tell she needs help. It looks as though she’s taking care of herself with professional help. God bless her.
Only people who suffer a mental condition know the challenge of just waking up, going to work, socialize, and try to stay positive. Wish her the best. She is so humble and nice to hear. She's so pretty as well. God bless her
Yep! I get a sense she missing the bond & friendship they once had, I don't get why they wouldn't want to include her anymore all because she has had issues! I thought they were all better people than that!
I agree completely. I think so many people in this world are almost afraid or uncomfortable of someone with a mental illness. Rather then shunning them more should be open to them and what they deal with. They are all human just like everyone else. Its unfortunate to hear how the cast has been with her..
Yes breaks my heart !! Because she is so beautiful inside and out and it seems as if she has a demon controlling her !!im so glad she showed up and she looks so beautiful may GOD continue to FREE her !! This man is such a sweet heart Because it seems as if he REALLY CARE about her health and the fact he is patient as she respond and try to gather her words. May GOD BLESS HIM AND HER AS SHE RECOVER 💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏾
Love her blonde hair. Totally agree with you. Such a classic beauty. God forbid all of our lives are on blast. People would think I am out of my mind. Brave woman.
I have PTSD. I cannot imagine my life on blast. She is so brave. I hope the cast reconsidered bringing her back. Someone else within that cast most likely has suffered from a mental illess given how many people have mental illnesses or personality disorders in general. The cast has such a powerful voice of if they would speak their truth and embrace her while she speaks hers.
I don't like how they excluded her. She was a HUGE PART of this shows history. The reboot won't be the same without Lisa Turtle. I love her so much and I'm so proud and happy for her. She's a fighter
Mental illness is complicated. She may have not have been ready when the reunion was being filmed. Acting is a tough job. And once she is completely stable and well she will be able to enjoy her passions again. I am sure the cast miss her just as much as she misses them. I pray that things will continue to come together for Lark and her family. I am happy you are receiving the support you need. Stay blessed.🙏🏽
It’s very clear the other women were jealous of her relationship with Mark Paul. Martin Lawrence was not a healthy relationship either. I hope she has more positive people around her. She looks better than ever. Kudos to her hard work.
She’s articulate and educated. You can see her struggling with the voices inside her head. It’s heart wrenching to see. I hope she continues to get help and support.
@@keithbridges2144 You misunderstood what she's saying. She's saying that it's hard to see her struggle with speech knowing how smart and well spoken she is. I know what you think she meant, but this isn't that.
Keith Bridges I don’t understand why people like yourself would come to that conclusion? Did you not see the entire video? Lark articulated how she struggles with different thoughts aka voices.
Ive noticed that in other interviews, especially the one where She was saying how nobody needs to worry about her mental health. She seemed like someone who was clinging desperately onto the appearance of health and sanity, but just failing so hard. It was heartbreaking.
@@jaylemon5049 cool, man, you do you. We were just making some observations and empathizing with a person who has obviously been through the wringer, not being armchair psychiatrists, but if thats not your cup of tea, well, then cool. Whatevs.
She is extremely articulate and a lovely woman. It’s obvious she’s still pretty fragile during this interview. I wish her the absolute best, she deserves it.
I can't see her being able to function in an acting role given her difficulties. Even medicated and with constant therapy; she'll always be battling those hallucinations. Hollywood won't meet her needs.
@@TheTrouserPuppetsOfficial Yeah, I really wish her well but whatever she's facing is the REAL deal. Man, fucking crazy her cast mates just abandoned her. Outrageous! Really feel sorry for her.
So, I just found out there is a Saved by the Bell reboot. How nice. Now that I know that Lark was not invited to participate, I will treat it the same way they treated Lark. I will forget about it and not bother watching it. I'm sure many that have seen the interview feel the same.
I think Lark is better off without her castmates. You never want to be somewhere where you are not welcomed or included. I have had to personally learn that. I think she has the intelligence, the skill, and the talent to do her own thing, which may help a lot of people. I think she should establish something like a non-profit organization aimed at helping those who suffer as she once did.
Crystal this was awesome and I totally agree. Coming forward as she did was definitely a step in the right direction. When people who are suffering from mental illness are able to come out and shed light on what’s happening, it lifts the burden of social stigma. For the African American community in particular, this is critical. Traditionally mental illness has always been a tough subject but when color is involved, we cannot ignore the facts. She was the only black character and the only one excluded from the reunion. I feel this speaks volumes about the people she previously worked with and it’s a damn shame. I hope Lark continues to benefit from the support of her family and therapy.
A lot people don’t understand when you have your first bipolar episode it’s a shock to the family. A lot people think that you’ve been drugged or something happened. That’s why people need to normalize mental health awareness. It doesn’t go away, it’s a life long battle. Praying she continues to get help.
This is why I can't ever support the cast in regards to lark...i mean even Dustin mentioned her and sent her well wishes. The others? Nothing. Not even Mario. Nah. I don't buy it
Dr. Oz should train Gayle King! She was suppose to appear on Dr.Oz two years ago initially and she wasn’t ready... Not only did he not exploit her to make a fool of herself he sought her help and revisited it two years later.. He totally protected her even in this interview as it was a struggle for her.. Much RESPECT for Dr. Oz for his compassion..
Yes! I love Dr.Oz! I'm glad he got her on the right track to get the proper help she needs. She looks soo much better.... she's still struggling but she's getting the proper help she needs.... Gayle Learn from this... this is a respectful interview... not pushing and asking if it's okay to touch on certain topics!
It took them 2years and he never mentioned it, neither was it necessary in those 2 years but knowing how Hollywood can be it is just so nice to see the care.
As a black female performer with mental health issues, I am touched to see such a kind and sensitive interview. The comments are also kind, compassionate, very mature, and that's why I've just subscribed. Thank you!
@@vaughnwilson477 anytime someone that isn't a person of color they ask that stupid question. Mental health treatment is different for black people, clearly you can't be a black person.
Yeah! Your so Right👍 I noticed that the whole time too.The smile was hiding the pain,and hurt.Dr.Oz was very,very,careful how he asked her questions.Didn't try to ambush her emotionally.Great job by Dr.Oz of being respectful too Lark, and making her feel comfortable.Her mom was also doing the same.I hope Lark Voorhies. get COMPLETELY HEALED from all her mental illnesses and I wish her the BEST!.👍🙏
I agree! IMO, that's bc Dr Oz is a legit surgeon, still authorized /works at Sedars, STILL licensed to practice medicine...he's just doing his thing with a camera. BUT DR PHIL? He has no license (hasn't in over 10yrs & never in CA), no office. Just the TV show. Basically just a glorified Maury.
@erock755 yessss & also, remember how beautiful she was on the episode of Martin...beautiful young lady..may God’s Grace & Mercy reach her, keep her, renew, & restore her better than before..God bless you also my dear
I’m proud of lark for this. She was very brave. For most people without her condition this would be a challenge but considering her condition this took a lot of courage and strength!!! Go lark!
She’s obviously intelligent. Our brain is so delicate that one ailment in a specific part can cause a disruption in something. She a smart women, just struggles with that specific disorder.
@@job5861 you do things you regret when you're in pain. The people with pain who project it on everyone else can be very attractive when you want to learn how handle your self. Similar not the same. You'll have to know to actually understand.
I am so glad that her mother is standing by her, and she has not let her daughter go. Her mom didn’t preface Lark’s condition with all the things she has done well. She is just supporting her daughter where she is at right now, and she is proud of her. I wish I had that support.
She is looking wayyyyyy better. I know that she's still in crisis and dealing with issues. But she's looking so much better an do hope she continues to get better.
She looks gorgeous. I deal with the same thing she is dealing with, it is an unimaginably challenging disorder for people that don't deal with it to understand. Glad to see her looking good.
They caked makeup on her. And brought her out to exploit her. I wish her the best, but those 3 sitting next to her, do not have her beat intentions in mind. Period! The video ended with them talking about how she should have another job in Hollywood. C’mon now. All 3 of them get a cut and vark just gets worse. It’s sad
It seems like she’s gotten much better. I saw an interview with her a from about 10 years ago and you could tell she was going through something. I’m glad she’s doing better now
Sometimes "friends" show you who they are in times of trouble. Best to leave them behind Lark and focus on your mental health and getting those acting roles 🙏💕
@@kstephen1519 there are but they are rare to find , a lot of blacklisted actors even in old hollywood years who had one or two good friends were able to survive but those instances are rare Jada Pinkett Smith said its a industry that rewards narcissicism , only looking out for number 1
@Josh Roberts Jada is sold out to the devil too and she; like others, will perish in their sins! CHRIST made it clear that a person cannot serve GOD and be enslaved to money! This world we live in is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal!
Josh Roberts Based on personal experiences and things I’ve seen since I moved here and got involved in the industry, the nature of the environment makes it impossible to find real friends. It sounds sad but knowing this is half the battle. Rare to find gives me hope humanity actually exists!
@@letashaprince3279 Did I ask you to take my advice? That was a statement. I said I would not watch. I believe in uplifting black women. We have enough people tearing us down. Take your negative spirit elsewhere. Peace ✌🏽
She’s a beautiful vessel. God continue to heal her mind. It’s one thing to not have her a part of the Reunion due to her condition but the cast should at least reach out to her and show her some ❤️ love.
Yes, but not to even invite her to the personal get togethers? If she had cancer they wouldn’t do that. Shannon Doherty is stage 4 and is part of the 90210 reboot. It isn’t that she is sick it is the nature of the illness. Wrong is wrong
Especially since Lark Voorhies was one of three original cast members that were there from the beginning of the series when it was "Good Morning Miss Bliss". Very disrespectful to her for the reunion reboot to take place without her. Smh.
@@elizabethowens8994 Do ya'll even know what mentally unstable means? You do understand she's heard voices right? why the hell would a TV producer want someone like that on their set. She's mentally UNFIT.
It may just be a blessing they didn’t ask her on the reboot show because Hollywood is sick. And I pray that lark stay positive and heal and have nothing put inner peace ASE❤️
This made me tear up. I can feel the emotion, pain, struggle, fight, the perseverance, etc. She's a lovely lady and I pray that she continues to overcome her condition and receives her due credit for her talent.
I agree. This could potentially bring about so much more awareness to Mental Illness and what a huge fandom/platform in which to do so. They could most definitely find a way to write her in and go with her personal story while continuing to support her on her journey.
I felt that when she looked at him with sincerity and honesty and said “in Hollywood the show must go on”... they abandoned her when she needed them the most. It’s sad. smh
My father is schizoaffective. I have also distanced myself from him. It's an illness that makes the person very selfish, distant, and frustrating to be around. It's very hard to have a conversation with my father or relate to him. I imagine if Lark were in the reunion her bizzare appearance and behavior would be too much of a distraction.
@@reesecup3ify it call's for understanding and patience she nor your father asked to be in the condition they're in I have a brother that has the same condition so I learned to adjust my normal in order to except their abnormal it doesn't fix the situation but it enables you to have a relationship with that person
They didn’t abandon her they have careers and there own life it doesn’t mean they don’t care about her though it just wont be easy for them to work with her
I kind of get why the other cast members have shunned Dustin Diamond because he has bad mouthed them, but Lark? It says a lot about them. People are a disappointment.
Yup and at first they were gonna leave the character Zach out too. I think Mario wanted to be the main male character. It’s like come on. Not the same without ALL of them. Petty petty!
He also apologized. Let's face it none of them are A-list actors. They all need this, you can't reboot SBTB without Screech and Lisa mark my words this is very shady! This Lark interview is a dark cloud hanging over the show, and it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth. This show is already CANCELLED!!! 🤔😣
Well, I grew up in the 80's and 90's and kids (who are grown ass adults now, like yours truly) used to call each other "retards, faggots" and lots of other words that are now taboo. People used to call me 'crazy' if they caught me talking to myself. I didn't trip. I just smiled it off.
Dr. Oz respects Lark, as he should...He’s a Dr & has ethics, but u can clearly see that he has a HEART & really cares 4 her & is willing to assist the best way he can. I appreciate him not putting her on display & exploiting her the way some have. He has a genuine kind spirit. God Bless 🙏🏽 Lark, mom, & both Dr’s. They are all giving her respect, great care & LOVE, which is what she needs & deserves! ❤️
She's clearly very mentally fragile, even after two years of intensive treatment. I wish for Lark that she was mentally fit to participate in SBTB reunions, but she can barely get out two sentences without teetering off the rails. She suffers from a severe mental illness, one that requires she retire from public life for her own safety and sanity.
She's not on a verge of a break down. That's the nature of this disease. I work in a psychiatric hospital. Believe me, she is doing great. Some individuals with schizoaffective disorder can't do what she did on the show. It's a combination of schizophrenic and bipolar symptoms (usually called schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type). She may be hearing voices which is called auditory hallucinations. This often causes paranoia too. She also may have disorganized thinking as well as delusions. Not always present. It comes and goes. So again, she is doing well. Her mannerism is not out of the ordinary if you were more familiar with this disease.This is a debilitating mental illness. She definitely acts like one of my patients, but one who is stable. Trust me, you don't want to be around her if she is unstable. I wouldn't be surprised if she has been hospitalized many times.
I watch this and I tear up a little. This is why I love Dr. Oz, Lark was supposed to appear on his show but she couldn’t. He sent her help, good help and gave it two years until she was stable enough to appear. This is HIGHLY unlike what Dr. Phill did with Shelly Duvall. He exploited her on live television, made a so scribble of her and then moved to help her only after the fact. Lark you’re looking and doing great 👍🏾 Baby steps sis! Baby Steps.
I agree she is beautiful and it's wonderful her mom is so loving and supportive when her daughter needs her the most . If she didn't have her mother to take care of her she may not have anyone. And a mothers/parents love is so powerful and safe. She knows she can trait mer mom and her doctor.
TCL so if her Mom just neglected her and told her she’s grown now she can take care of herself would that have been better for you... She’s doing want a Mother should have done for her child... once she seen her daughter spiraling out of control and losing herself within showed signs of her being incapable of taking care of herself... She stuck by her side through it all...
The fact that they don't invite her to be a part of social gatherings says a lot about them and their own concepts towards those with illnesses. Whether it's mental illness, chronic illnesses or disabilities those who battle with either of them are shunned and abandoned by those who once claimed to be friends and it isn't right. True friends don't do that and are there to support each other and help in any way possible. I've seen this in my own life and after becoming disabled seen who were true friends and who was fake. I hope Lark can find people who can become her new social circle and have that support.
I cried. It's hard to know she was going thru this. My girl Lisa Turtle. I hope she continues to get better. She has been traumatized. Praying for her!!
I cried all the way through this interview. I suffer from PTSD and I get it. I form a thought and yet the words don’t come out. I know what it feels like to not want to leave the house. Girl you still beautiful still inspiring. Always looked up to you and will always look up to you.
I’m so proud of her. It was pretty unfair of them to exclude her because of what she was going through as opposed to reaching out and helping her through it :/
@@QuinnSmalls215 They only did that because they got backlash. They are phony & mean. I will never support the Saved By The Bell reboot for how cliqueish & nasty they are.
You don't understand how hard it is to be around someone with schizoaffective disorder. They're bizarre behavior is only trumped by the violent mood swings
I’m not surprised that they would treat her this way. My dad told me long ago about the people I called “friends.” Ugh. I will not be watching this reboot.
My brother has the same illness and many people have pulled away from him. However, 25 years later his high school friends are still in his life. I'm grateful they didn't abandon him. I know that he is very lucky for that and that many other people don't have that same experience. People can be selfish and heartless. You must always watch out for that.
It's not the SBTB cast fault that she wasn't included Lark has mental issues that she needed to deal with herself. Like her mom said she didn't want to admit that she was bipolar but everyone around her knew something was wrong. Its not the cast of SBTB that left her out, it was Larks mental condition.
CALICOTV301 exactly. Her doctor said she reads her lines well. And even if the production didn’t invite her to set to act, the cast could have still included her in the dinner. 🤷🏽♀️
She is hurting she was shunned people who get shunned usually commit suicide, I don't think she has a mental problem at all I think she had a nervous breakdown
She's also part of an incredibly dangerous cult; the Jehovah's Witnesses. Michael Jackson was too. And Prince. I guarantee that has more to do with her struggle than anything else. That cult and fame don't mix well. Makes people super crazy every single time.
I watched it but not just for her but for everyone. I gtd that if she was the only one on the show , it would not be a hit. It was a hit because of ALL the stars point blank ok. The other cast members left her out because she was sick,doesnt make it wrong. We dont know how she was with them being sick but i did have a co worker that was sick like her n made our job a living hell. They fired him. Business is business ok
Salvador Cavazos First of all as an African American female I resonated with her character on the show. It was fantastic to see someone that looked like me. Sure everyone on the show did great. Like I said I watched this show more because of Lark!
Salvador Cavazos Furthermore how many other “sick” folks in her position are out in society? I’m glad she’s getting help and support for her issues. I understand business is business. If she was white I’m sure her treatment would be very different!
@@NitaM12 omg please stop with the race card. The dude that was fired on my job was white. Im sure it has nothing to do with her being african. Be honest when yiu turn on the TV how many Africans do yiu see....i see a whole lot so its not a race issue its just a business issue ok
She looks so much better then previous years. Glad she got the help she needed. Such a shame they left her out of the reboot. It wont be the same without the whole cast.
I know I'm just one black girl, but I literally only watched because that was the 1st time I saw a black girl look FABULOUS! She was beautiful still is, she was loved she was popular. I will not be watching.! I don't know how they can just leave her out like she wasn't on the show. It's not her fault she is sick. I don't know why they can't have her in some episodes.🤷🏾♀️She's on her medication so why leave her out. They need to be called out about this..! It's wrong, but I know Hollyweird is basically weird!😤
@Steve You're obviously blind, LOTS of black men and women are gorgeous and she happens to be stunning. Unlike yourself, guess you gotta make yourself feel better by putting an entire race down because of your obvious prejudice. Tsk tsk.
When you want to know who someone really is, lose your mind. I had side effects from a medication, and learned who some people really were. I feel for people with mental illness because many often lose "friends" and opportunities. Don't let this happen to you. Keep fighting Lark! You got this!
She seemed so sad and heartbroken towards the end, I understand she has schizoaffective disorder, but she seems to be on the verge of tears. I loved & respected her so much when I was a child, I idolized her and thought she was the most beautiful person I’d ever seen, I respect her even more now, knowing her struggle and she’s still very beautiful inside and out. I wish her ALL the best life has to offer and I hope she’s not kept away from acting bc of her mental condition. If she still wants to act (as long as she can read a script) she should be allowed to. Saved by the bell writers should be ashamed of themselves for not giving her a chance. EDTA: wow, a few hours after writing this comment they announced she will be on the show, not sure how many episodes but I’m glad they reprised her role 💕💕💕
She was diagnosed with Schizoaffective THOUGHT disorder. Symptoms of thought disorder include derailment, pressured speech, poverty of speech, tangentiality, and thought blocking. It wasn't revealed to us what level of mood disorder she deals with. Her specific disorder does not imply at all that she suffers from violent moods swings. The prominent feature of her diagnosis could very well be the disruption of thought accompanied by some degree in change of mood (it could be mild for all we know). She does not simply have schizoaffective disorder. There is a distinction. She and her psychiatrist will know her particular symptoms. We should not assume...
I watched my brother go through this. He spent 3 years in a state mental hospital because 35 years ago this condition/illness was so misunderstood. When he was a child he was so smart, even on the honor roll but when he was around 18 or 19 we started seeing things happening to him and he was experiencing voices in his head. Most of my family shunned him and it hurt him so much he tried to take his life twice. Ultimately he died of copd because he smoked but at least he had a girlfriend that cared about him. I love you Timmy R.I.P. my darling brother.
She made that freaking show! She was the main reason that I watched Saved By The Bell when I was in high school. I had the biggest crush on Lark Voorhies. God bless her and hope she continues to do better. She has come a long way and deserves the best. She is a beautiful, strong, and intelligent woman ♥️
Man, this is one of the most moving interviews I've ever seen. Everytime I watch it, I fight back tears. I'm so proud of her.... and she looks AMAZING!!! 😍

I believe it especially with the way she looks she would have to knock the sickos off of her constantly beauty can be a curse it seems.
reginald grays right
As my mother would say, it’s something in the atmosphere
Especially since she was a jehovah's witness. They tend to shelter their kids a little more than many, so she was likely in for a culture shock at minimun

I agree completely. I think so many people in this world are almost afraid or uncomfortable of someone with a mental illness. Rather then shunning them more should be open to them and what they deal with. They are all human just like everyone else. Its unfortunate to hear how the cast has been with her..
so sad :(
Exactly,pore thing is soo hurt
Exactly. She wasn’t even asked to get a chance to turn it down. They could have invited her for support.
The difference is that she is not fighting her condition. She’s accepting it now. Understanding it more, learning her triggers. She such a sweetheart.
Well said
Yeah what he said! Completely agreed
C’mon now. She’s being brainwashed. Hence the public announcement saying those other 2 will speak for her, when her thoughts get confused
I love how u said tht
Great comment!
She tried so hard not to cry 😣 still beautiful
Yessss..you can tell she’s going through smthing and has been through something but she’s still a beautiful person inside/out
She is beautiful I hate that they judge her cause or her I'll 😔
Yes she is
@@kiordeleon5405 she is! Definitely, the prettiest, IMO.
Yes breaks my heart !! Because she is so beautiful inside and out and it seems as if she has a demon controlling her !!im so glad she showed up and she looks so beautiful may GOD continue to FREE her !! This man is such a sweet heart Because it seems as if he REALLY CARE about her health and the fact he is patient as she respond and try to gather her words. May GOD BLESS HIM AND HER AS SHE RECOVER 💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏾
She was by far the most beautiful girl on saved by the bell
Second. Kelly 1st.
@@jasonbourne5142 Nah she had a better body and more natural beauty than Kelly. And her smile
ABSOLUTELY 👍🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👍🏽
Facts!
Yes!!
I can see the pain in her eyes. The eyes never lie. Wishing her healing.
I agree, you can see how sad she is and how hard she is trying to keep it together.
She's still a world class beauty!
Love her blonde hair. Totally agree with you. Such a classic beauty. God forbid all of our lives are on blast. People would think I am out of my mind. Brave woman.
I have PTSD. I cannot imagine my life on blast. She is so brave. I hope the cast reconsidered bringing her back. Someone else within that cast most likely has suffered from a mental illess given how many people have mental illnesses or personality disorders in general. The cast has such a powerful voice of if they would speak their truth and embrace her while she speaks hers.
100%. She is a classic beauty. A shame how she is being treated. God bless her.
THIS!
She held her tears back way longer than I could have. I feel your pain and I cried for you 😢
I cried too! Because I seen the before pictures when she was struggling but now she looks to be on the right path
Same
I don't like how they excluded her. She was a HUGE PART of this shows history. The reboot won't be the same without Lisa Turtle. I love her so much and I'm so proud and happy for her. She's a fighter
Yeah they could have at least invited her even if she wasn't able to make it, it's the thought that counts
I was absolutely upset they didn't include her. Definitely shady because it wasn't the same without her.
Mental illness is complicated. She may have not have been ready when the reunion was being filmed. Acting is a tough job. And once she is completely stable and well she will be able to enjoy her passions again. I am sure the cast miss her just as much as she misses them. I pray that things will continue to come together for Lark and her family. I am happy you are receiving the support you need. Stay blessed.🙏🏽
Wow just for that I'm not watching the Reboot
It’s very clear the other women were jealous of her relationship with Mark Paul. Martin Lawrence was not a healthy relationship either. I hope she has more positive people around her. She looks better than ever. Kudos to her hard work.
She’s articulate and educated. You can see her struggling with the voices inside her head. It’s heart wrenching to see. I hope she continues to get help and support.
you are racist as all getout
@@keithbridges2144 You misunderstood what she's saying. She's saying that it's hard to see her struggle with speech knowing how smart and well spoken she is. I know what you think she meant, but this isn't that.
Yes can she recover from it?
Keith Bridges I don’t understand why people like yourself would come to that conclusion? Did you not see the entire video? Lark articulated how she struggles with different thoughts aka voices.
Steven F F another commenter is saying its witchcraft/voodoo and the Illuminati/Hollywood setting her up...
You can really see her power trying to defeat her condition. She doenst want to say too much and you can also see shes fighting internally.
Ive noticed that in other interviews, especially the one where She was saying how nobody needs to worry about her mental health. She seemed like someone who was clinging desperately onto the appearance of health and sanity, but just failing so hard. It was heartbreaking.
You don't no what you are talking about,until you pyschiatrist prove with you are talking about I'll keep on ignoring you and people like you.
@@jaylemon5049 cool, man, you do you. We were just making some observations and empathizing with a person who has obviously been through the wringer, not being armchair psychiatrists, but if thats not your cup of tea, well, then cool. Whatevs.
She's a fighter. This woman could *legit* be dead!
She is extremely articulate and a lovely woman. It’s obvious she’s still pretty fragile during this interview. I wish her the absolute best, she deserves it.
@rana pipien I agree....she looks like she's freaked out. She's trying hard to keep it together. I don't think she's well at all...yet.
There is nothing articulate about this. Are you nuts?
Yeah fame will destroy a person sanity
I can't see her being able to function in an acting role given her difficulties. Even medicated and with constant therapy; she'll always be battling those hallucinations. Hollywood won't meet her needs.
@@TheTrouserPuppetsOfficial Yeah, I really wish her well but whatever she's facing is the REAL deal. Man, fucking crazy her cast mates just abandoned her. Outrageous! Really feel sorry for her.
You can tell Lark's soul is damaged and very delicate, I pray that from here on out, she will be surrounded by peace and kind people.
So, I just found out there is a Saved by the Bell reboot. How nice. Now that I know that Lark was not invited to participate, I will treat it the same way they treated Lark. I will forget about it and not bother watching it. I'm sure many that have seen the interview feel the same.
Yass I’m one of them
Mee too.
Me three!!
Fact
From what I gather it on some obscure streaming service I wasn't going to purchase anyway. Not I really wont.
Don’t discriminate on people with disabilities she’s still able to do her job .. acting is what she loves she’s an artist
They should have at least gave her a chance to see how she will do.
No her being on the reboot would add to what she is going through cause the go through long hours
Ty Lockett that would be time and money wasted if it didn’t work out and from this interview u can tell she is not fully there
She's very classy. I'm rooting for this young lady.
She's so delicate . they handled the interview well. I wish her all of the best
I can see she's nervous and has fight or flight. anxiety. stuttering etc. So proud of her for her strength and courage.
I agree! I can see all that as well. Thia pains me to see her like this! I pray God continue to heal her
I feel so bad that she’s suffering like this. She deserves to be happy like all of us do. You can see her unable to truly be 100% there.
Agreed.
I hate that she’s going through this I’m glad she’s doing well
Nijah Greene what is “ happiness”?
I think Lark is better off without her castmates. You never want to be somewhere where you are not welcomed or included. I have had to personally learn that. I think she has the intelligence, the skill, and the talent to do her own thing, which may help a lot of people. I think she should establish something like a non-profit organization aimed at helping those who suffer as she once did.
Great Idea. It would definitely help others who may feel& be alone who are going through these challenges.
Agreed.
Crystal this was awesome and I totally agree. Coming forward as she did was definitely a step in the right direction. When people who are suffering from mental illness are able to come out and shed light on what’s happening, it lifts the burden of social stigma. For the African American community in particular, this is critical. Traditionally mental illness has always been a tough subject but when color is involved, we cannot ignore the facts. She was the only black character and the only one excluded from the reunion. I feel this speaks volumes about the people she previously worked with and it’s a damn shame. I hope Lark continues to benefit from the support of her family and therapy.
You speak beautiful words of compassion. If only more people were more like this, what amazing things would be accomplished.
Amen
A lot people don’t understand when you have your first bipolar episode it’s a shock to the family. A lot people think that you’ve been drugged or something happened. That’s why people need to normalize mental health awareness. It doesn’t go away, it’s a life long battle. Praying she continues to get help.
I've always thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world, my lord, she still is 😊
Elfie You are right on. I KNEW SHE WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD TOO. And yes.....still is.
Yes she is
Elfie Angora I agree! She’s very beautiful, kind and gentle.
Yesss💚💚💚
I agree.
She’s still very pretty. I hope Tyler Perry reaches out to her. Forget SBTB she does not need them. God Bless Her to grace Hollywood again🙏🏾
MissAlmondeyesstlmo1 he won’t
she doesn't need hollywood ffs she just needs to get as healthy as possible without involving the pubic into her life
What did they do to her?
@@chuckhunter8740 Right
Rightttt
She’s wants to cry. I just want to hold her. 😢 I can’t believe not one person reached out to her. God bless her and her mom.
This is why I can't ever support the cast in regards to lark...i mean even Dustin mentioned her and sent her well wishes. The others? Nothing. Not even Mario. Nah. I don't buy it
Elizabeth Berkeley, who plays Jessie, was the one who called her about the reboot.
Well, that's Hollywood for yah!
Dr. Oz should train Gayle King!
She was suppose to appear on Dr.Oz two years ago initially and she wasn’t ready... Not only did he not exploit her to make a fool of herself he sought her help and revisited it two years later.. He totally protected her even in this interview as it was a struggle for her.. Much RESPECT for Dr. Oz for his compassion..
Nzinga Antoine yes I agreed 💯. Like tmz exploited Kanye’s silly ass. They let that fool talk for 30mins straight lol. God bless Dr Oz and Lark!!!
I'm not a huge Dr Oz fan, but I love he didn't exploit her while she wasn't ready.
Nzinga Antoine I totally agree with your statement.
Gayle King is not welcome interviewing anyone.
Yes! I love Dr.Oz! I'm glad he got her on the right track to get the proper help she needs. She looks soo much better.... she's still struggling but she's getting the proper help she needs.... Gayle Learn from this... this is a respectful interview... not pushing and asking if it's okay to touch on certain topics!
Dr. Oz seems geniunely concerned. Im so happy he is doing this for Lark. Thats all we need sometimes... help and someone to care.
LadyALCO -Amen😊
💕👍🏼🙌
Facts
concerned about them ratings.
@@RayValdezPhotography Exactly..He's fake like all the rest of them in Devil Land.
He was so helpful and delicate with her. Did not exploit her.
I agree. I feel if maybe if it was dr. Phil doing this interview he wouldn't have been so.
It took them 2years and he never mentioned it, neither was it necessary in those 2 years but knowing how Hollywood can be it is just so nice to see the care.
He’s a true professional
As a black female performer with mental health issues, I am touched to see such a kind and sensitive interview. The comments are also kind, compassionate, very mature, and that's why I've just subscribed. Thank you!

Your so Right👍 I noticed that the whole time too.The smile was hiding the pain,and hurt.Dr.Oz was very,very,careful how he asked her questions.Didn't try to ambush her emotionally.Great job by Dr.Oz of being respectful too Lark, and making her feel comfortable.Her mom was also doing the same.I hope Lark Voorhies. get COMPLETELY HEALED from all her mental illnesses and I wish her the BEST!.👍🙏
He's better than Dr Phil! He actually care about others!
Because he's a real doctor. Dr Phil just has a title.
@@kclark3244 Dr. Phil is a Dr.
He has a BA in psychology. A M.A. experimental psychology. And a PHD in Clinical Psychology.
I agree! IMO, that's bc Dr Oz is a legit surgeon, still authorized /works at Sedars, STILL licensed to practice medicine...he's just doing his thing with a camera. BUT DR PHIL? He has no license (hasn't in over 10yrs & never in CA), no office. Just the TV show. Basically just a glorified Maury.
@@kclark3244 I wrote a paragraph. You wrote a sentence....and you said it all!!
SerenityMoon Exactly! Can’t stand Dr. Phil! He messed up and helped make Danielle (aka “Cash me outside girl”) a star.😂
Honestly, she seems so classy. I wish her the best. The cast should invite her to join at least in a limited manner.
I found myself caring for her more when I learned of her illness. I STAND BEHIND/ WITH HER ANYDAY. Always loved Lark.
Me too!!!!!

She will always be our sweet girl
@erock755 yessss & also, remember how beautiful she was on the episode of Martin...beautiful young lady..may God’s Grace & Mercy reach her, keep her, renew, & restore her better than before..God bless you also my dear
@erock755 God bless you also
I’m proud of lark for this. She was very brave. For most people without her condition this would be a challenge but considering her condition this took a lot of courage and strength!!! Go lark!
She’s obviously intelligent. Our brain is so delicate that one ailment in a specific part can cause a disruption in something. She a smart women, just struggles with that specific disorder.

I am so glad that her mother is standing by her, and she has not let her daughter go. Her mom didn’t preface Lark’s condition with all the things she has done well. She is just supporting her daughter where she is at right now, and she is proud of her. I wish I had that support.
She is looking wayyyyyy better. I know that she's still in crisis and dealing with issues. But she's looking so much better an do hope she continues to get better.
She looks gorgeous. I deal with the same thing she is dealing with, it is an unimaginably challenging disorder for people that don't deal with it to understand. Glad to see her looking good.
@@TheTrouserPuppetsOfficial Mmmm, okay buddy.
They caked makeup on her. And brought her out to exploit her. I wish her the best, but those 3 sitting next to her, do not have her beat intentions in mind. Period! The video ended with them talking about how she should have another job in Hollywood. C’mon now. All 3 of them get a cut and vark just gets worse. It’s sad
I feel like it's more severe than we all think.

Me too. Her smile doesnt match what u see in her eyes. It's a front. As well as her practiced responses.

It seems like she’s gotten much better. I saw an interview with her a from about 10 years ago and you could tell she was going through something. I’m glad she’s doing better now
It’s a deep sadness within her eyes 😔
And her voice. She sounds like she's on the verge of tears as she speaks. A Very anxious laughter like she's fighting. I'm sad for her.
That's some pain there
So sad
Yessss it absolutely breaks my heart.
Jesus will heal her 🙏🏾✝️❤️
Dr. Oz seems so caring and genuine about helping her . I pray for her peace and recovery. ♥️
Sometimes "friends" show you who they are in times of trouble. Best to leave them behind Lark and focus on your mental health and getting those acting roles 🙏💕
Acting in demonic Hollywood is the wrong direction for her to go back to.
There are NO friends in Hollywood!
@@kstephen1519 there are but they are rare to find , a lot of blacklisted actors even in old hollywood years who had one or two good friends were able to survive
but those instances are rare

@Josh Roberts Jada is sold out to the devil too and she; like others, will perish in their sins! CHRIST made it clear that a person cannot serve GOD and be enslaved to money! This world we live in is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal!
Josh Roberts Based on personal experiences and things I’ve seen since I moved here and got involved in the industry, the nature of the environment makes it impossible to find real friends. It sounds sad but knowing this is half the battle. Rare to find gives me hope humanity actually exists!

So true

She’s a beautiful vessel. God continue to heal her mind. It’s one thing to not have her a part of the Reunion due to her condition but the cast should at least reach out to her and show her some ❤️ love.
Amen:) I second that;) thank you.
Amen🙏🏽🤝🏼
Everything aside, HOW COULD YOU NOT ASK LISA TURTLE FOR THE REUNION?! The fans will never forget you. All the best Lark
because she's bipolar and hears voices. How's it difficult to understand why someone in that state of mind isn't wanted on a TV set?
Christopher Banuelos doc said she’s not bi polar. She has some other mental condition.
Yes, but not to even invite her to the personal get togethers? If she had cancer they wouldn’t do that. Shannon Doherty is stage 4 and is part of the 90210 reboot. It isn’t that she is sick it is the nature of the illness. Wrong is wrong
Especially since Lark Voorhies was one of three original cast members that were there from the beginning of the series when it was "Good Morning Miss Bliss". Very disrespectful to her for the reunion reboot to take place without her. Smh.
@@elizabethowens8994 Do ya'll even know what mentally unstable means? You do understand she's heard voices right? why the hell would a TV producer want someone like that on their set. She's mentally UNFIT.
It may just be a blessing they didn’t ask her on the reboot show because Hollywood is sick. And I pray that lark stay positive and heal and have nothing put inner peace ASE❤️
Hollywood is now "Hollyweird". No longer suitable.
This made me tear up. I can feel the emotion, pain, struggle, fight, the perseverance, etc. She's a lovely lady and I pray that she continues to overcome her condition and receives her due credit for her talent.
Same
Bring Lark back or it's not a reunion!!
A"GREE..they redlined Lark.👎💯
I agree. This could potentially bring about so much more awareness to Mental Illness and what a huge fandom/platform in which to do so. They could most definitely find a way to write her in and go with her personal story while continuing to support her on her journey.
@@Gina-Montana it shows you how they relegate race dividence and fraternization
Yup that is true!!!
Exactly!
She was able to read her entry so well and clearly... they could have gave her a small guest starring appearance on the reunion out of respect
Exactly! Out of respect. Respect for her and respect for the fans! Clearly she’s trying to get better. I am absolutely NOT watching this reboot.
No... Not the same without Lisa Turtle 🐢
yah she was clearly misunderstood. They mistaken her for having a bad attitude.
Alison Foister yasssss
She is one of the most beautiful ladies I've ever seen. Dr. Oz showed class in this interview.
She's a HERO for going on the show (seriously). Prayers that she's better 🙏
Let’s be honest, she’s still beautiful
T T Yes she is!!! ♥️♥️
makeup
Yes she is
Yes she is
She would look even better with her natural hair color...
Lark we still love u.. the world is very happy too see you again. U will always be my favorite on save by the bell.... Mississippi fan here!😁
I felt that when she looked at him with sincerity and honesty and said “in Hollywood the show must go on”... they abandoned her when she needed them the most. It’s sad. smh
My father is schizoaffective. I have also distanced myself from him. It's an illness that makes the person very selfish, distant, and frustrating to be around. It's very hard to have a conversation with my father or relate to him. I imagine if Lark were in the reunion her bizzare appearance and behavior would be too much of a distraction.
@@reesecup3ify it call's for understanding and patience she nor your father asked to be in the condition they're in I have a brother that has the same condition so I learned to adjust my normal in order to except their abnormal it doesn't fix the situation but it enables you to have a relationship with that person
They didn’t abandon her they have careers and there own life it doesn’t mean they don’t care about her though it just wont be easy for them to work with her
Naj you ova bad! 😎 lil fine self
@@GODSSON365247 thank you
She is so adorable, everything about her makes my heart go out to her
I kind of get why the other cast members have shunned Dustin Diamond because he has bad mouthed them, but Lark? It says a lot about them. People are a disappointment.
Jaime Smith
I can’t argue that. We all go through this I guess
True. It sucks cause she played a major part of the show and was even in the original show
noemistephanie93
She was there day one. Those cast members AND the network are awful people. Poor Lark she still has such a sweet spirit about her
Yup and at first they were gonna leave the character Zach out too. I think Mario wanted to be the main male character. It’s like come on. Not the same without ALL of them. Petty petty!
He also apologized. Let's face it none of them are A-list actors. They all need this, you can't reboot SBTB without Screech and Lisa mark my words this is very shady! This Lark interview is a dark cloud hanging over the show, and it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth. This show is already CANCELLED!!! 🤔😣
This is just another reason why people need to be careful with the "crazy" word or not call people "crazy" at all.
I've been saying that all my life.
I hate that word.
Exactly. Sometimes things are produced from a chemical imbalance and the person can't help it.
Yes that is true
Well, I grew up in the 80's and 90's and kids (who are grown ass adults now, like yours truly) used to call each other "retards, faggots" and lots of other words that are now taboo. People used to call me 'crazy' if they caught me talking to myself. I didn't trip. I just smiled it off.
She did great in this interview expressing her feelings which I could tell wasn't easy for her.

I'm so proud of Lark. She's extremely intelligent and she will make a comeback!
Lark should have an opportunity to tell her story. She's still looks beautiful she's articulate and it sad when your friends kick when you're down.
Dr. Oz respects Lark, as he should...He’s a Dr & has ethics, but u can clearly see that he has a HEART & really cares 4 her & is willing to assist the best way he can. I appreciate him not putting her on display & exploiting her the way some have. He has a genuine kind spirit. God Bless 🙏🏽 Lark, mom, & both Dr’s. They are all giving her respect, great care & LOVE, which is what she needs & deserves! ❤️
Very true indeed.
He cares about money and exploitation.No different
True
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 PERFECTLY said 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Ifeel exactly the same much respect
She held it together. Im so proud of her.. Keep your head up and keep on praying and always keep god first.
How rotten could they be to exclude her?? I’m embarrassed for them.
She's clearly very mentally fragile, even after two years of intensive treatment. I wish for Lark that she was mentally fit to participate in SBTB reunions, but she can barely get out two sentences without teetering off the rails. She suffers from a severe mental illness, one that requires she retire from public life for her own safety and sanity.
She looks like she's on the verge of breaking down. Def holding back tears.
Yes she is. :(
She's not on a verge of a break down. That's the nature of this disease. I work in a psychiatric hospital. Believe me, she is doing great. Some individuals with schizoaffective disorder can't do what she did on the show. It's a combination of schizophrenic and bipolar symptoms (usually called schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type). She may be hearing voices which is called auditory hallucinations. This often causes paranoia too. She also may have disorganized thinking as well as delusions. Not always present. It comes and goes. So again, she is doing well. Her mannerism is not out of the ordinary if you were more familiar with this disease.This is a debilitating mental illness. She definitely acts like one of my patients, but one who is stable. Trust me, you don't want to be around her if she is unstable. I wouldn't be surprised if she has been hospitalized many times.
It does it's got me in tears for her
Or it’s her plastic surgery.
I watch this and I tear up a little. This is why I love Dr. Oz, Lark was supposed to appear on his show but she couldn’t. He sent her help, good help and gave it two years until she was stable enough to appear. This is HIGHLY unlike what Dr. Phill did with Shelly Duvall. He exploited her on live television, made a so scribble of her and then moved to help her only after the fact. Lark you’re looking and doing great 👍🏾 Baby steps sis! Baby Steps.
Larks mom is so lovely. I see where she gets her beauty.
I agree she is beautiful and it's wonderful her mom is so loving and supportive when her daughter needs her the most . If she didn't have her mother to take care of her she may not have anyone. And a mothers/parents love is so powerful and safe. She knows she can trait mer mom and her doctor.
TCL so if her Mom just neglected her and told her she’s grown now she can take care of herself would that have been better for you... She’s doing want a Mother should have done for her child... once she seen her daughter spiraling out of control and losing herself within showed signs of her being incapable of taking care of herself... She stuck by her side through it all...
The fact that they don't invite her to be a part of social gatherings says a lot about them and their own concepts towards those with illnesses. Whether it's mental illness, chronic illnesses or disabilities those who battle with either of them are shunned and abandoned by those who once claimed to be friends and it isn't right. True friends don't do that and are there to support each other and help in any way possible. I've seen this in my own life and after becoming disabled seen who were true friends and who was fake. I hope Lark can find people who can become her new social circle and have that support.
She's still so beautiful. Her being included in the reunion would send an empowering and loving message to the world.
She is very present and in the moment there is still hope for her
I cried. It's hard to know she was going thru this. My girl Lisa Turtle. I hope she continues to get better. She has been traumatized. Praying for her!!
I cried all the way through this interview. I suffer from PTSD and I get it. I form a thought and yet the words don’t come out. I know what it feels like to not want to leave the house. Girl you still beautiful still inspiring. Always looked up to you and will always look up to you.
I’m so proud of her. It was pretty unfair of them to exclude her because of what she was going through as opposed to reaching out and helping her through it :/
I just seen a video of her on the reboot. Shoutout to Lark and the entire cast of Saved By the Bell. #RIPSkreech
@@QuinnSmalls215 They only did that because they got backlash. They are phony & mean. I will never support the Saved By The Bell reboot for how cliqueish & nasty they are.
@@20ice47 Great point. They did Dustin Diamond wrong.
@@QuinnSmalls215 , I didn't see her on the trailer. Please post the link to the reboot. I would love to see it.
You don't understand how hard it is to be around someone with schizoaffective disorder.
They're bizarre behavior is only trumped by the violent mood swings
I’m not surprised that they would treat her this way. My dad told me long ago about the people I called “friends.” Ugh. I will not be watching this reboot.
My mother said the same...
My brother has the same illness and many people have pulled away from him. However, 25 years later his high school friends are still in his life. I'm grateful they didn't abandon him. I know that he is very lucky for that and that many other people don't have that same experience. People can be selfish and heartless. You must always watch out for that.
Right. I only used to watch it because of Her
It's not the SBTB cast fault that she wasn't included Lark has mental issues that she needed to deal with herself. Like her mom said she didn't want to admit that she was bipolar but everyone around her knew something was wrong. Its not the cast of SBTB that left her out, it was Larks mental condition.
CALICOTV301 exactly. Her doctor said she reads her lines well. And even if the production didn’t invite her to set to act, the cast could have still included her in the dinner. 🤷🏽♀️
She’s looks so sad. Like she’s fighting to stay smiling. My heart and prayers go out to Lark.
She is hurting she was shunned people who get shunned usually commit suicide, I don't think she has a mental problem at all I think she had a nervous breakdown
She's also part of an incredibly dangerous cult; the Jehovah's Witnesses. Michael Jackson was too. And Prince. I guarantee that has more to do with her struggle than anything else. That cult and fame don't mix well. Makes people super crazy every single time.
@@moonbeamstry5321 Interesting take! All of those you mentioned seemed strange in their own way.
Lisa made Saved by the bell show! She’s the most talented and prettiest.
After so many years she is still absolutely beautiful!!! She is aging so well! She looks FAN-TASTIC!
Seems she is still healing... My prayers are with her. I've always loved her as an actress... God is incharge ♥️
Well, your "god" had tortured this girl for years. Your god sounds like a charm!🤪
Atheist🌺Spiritual wow... shut up
@@shervonri Remove your wig, then come to tell me to shut up.🤣😅
@@69BellaValentina69she does have her own hair and doesn't have to wear a wig, She also has melanin and doesn't have to wear artificial sunscreen.
@@heretoday5932 stop talking BS. She is wearing a Wig. Stop being dumb, nobody called you anyway.
Lisa turtle was the reason I watched that show.
dane hereford me too.
I watched it but not just for her but for everyone. I gtd that if she was the only one on the show , it would not be a hit. It was a hit because of ALL the stars point blank ok. The other cast members left her out because she was sick,doesnt make it wrong. We dont know how she was with them being sick but i did have a co worker that was sick like her n made our job a living hell. They fired him. Business is business ok
Salvador Cavazos First of all as an African American female I resonated with her character on the show. It was fantastic to see someone that looked like me. Sure everyone on the show did great. Like I said I watched this show more because of Lark!
Salvador Cavazos Furthermore how many other “sick” folks in her position are out in society? I’m glad she’s getting help and support for her issues. I understand business is business. If she was white I’m sure her treatment would be very different!
@@NitaM12 omg please stop with the race card. The dude that was fired on my job was white. Im sure it has nothing to do with her being african. Be honest when yiu turn on the TV how many Africans do yiu see....i see a whole lot so its not a race issue its just a business issue ok
She looks so much better then previous years. Glad she got the help she needed. Such a shame they left her out of the reboot. It wont be the same without the whole cast.
I know I'm just one black girl, but I literally only watched because that was the 1st time I saw a black girl look FABULOUS! She was beautiful still is, she was loved she was popular. I will not be watching.! I don't know how they can just leave her out like she wasn't on the show. It's not her fault she is sick. I don't know why they can't have her in some episodes.🤷🏾♀️She's on her medication so why leave her out. They need to be called out about this..! It's wrong, but I know Hollyweird is basically weird!😤
@Steve and white features are???? Go on ill wait.
@Steve No that just makes them look pink like a pig or pale like uncooked dough, like how u look.
@@rere065 GET HIM!!!😂😂😂
@John Rayne He's a pile of something alright. You can probably guess what that pile is. :)
@Steve You're obviously blind, LOTS of black men and women are gorgeous and she happens to be stunning. Unlike yourself, guess you gotta make yourself feel better by putting an entire race down because of your obvious prejudice. Tsk tsk.
When you want to know who someone really is, lose your mind. I had side effects from a medication, and learned who some people really were. I feel for people with mental illness because many often lose "friends" and opportunities. Don't let this happen to you. Keep fighting Lark! You got this!
I'm glad it was him that interviewed her instead of Phil
They're both TV show hosts but Oz is a real MD and never lost a case with a state regulatory board for having sex with a 16 year old.
Dr. Phil would have exploited her
@@dieselscience that ugly gossip
Phil is too dramatic and problematic
She seemed so sad and heartbroken towards the end, I understand she has schizoaffective disorder, but she seems to be on the verge of tears.
I loved & respected her so much when I was a child, I idolized her and thought she was the most beautiful person I’d ever seen, I respect her even more now, knowing her struggle and she’s still very beautiful inside and out.
I wish her ALL the best life has to offer and I hope she’s not kept away from acting bc of her mental condition.
If she still wants to act (as long as she can read a script) she should be allowed to.
Saved by the bell writers should be ashamed of themselves for not giving her a chance.
EDTA: wow, a few hours after writing this comment they announced she will be on the show, not sure how many episodes but I’m glad they reprised her role 💕💕💕
She was diagnosed with Schizoaffective THOUGHT disorder. Symptoms of thought disorder include derailment, pressured speech, poverty of speech, tangentiality, and thought blocking. It wasn't revealed to us what level of mood disorder she deals with. Her specific disorder does not imply at all that she suffers from violent moods swings. The prominent feature of her diagnosis could very well be the disruption of thought accompanied by some degree in change of mood (it could be mild for all we know). She does not simply have schizoaffective disorder. There is a distinction. She and her psychiatrist will know her particular symptoms. We should not assume...
I watched my brother go through this. He spent 3 years in a state mental hospital because 35 years ago this condition/illness was so misunderstood. When he was a child he was so smart, even on the honor roll but when he was around 18 or 19 we started seeing things happening to him and he was experiencing voices in his head. Most of my family shunned him and it hurt him so much he tried to take his life twice. Ultimately he died of copd because he smoked but at least he had a girlfriend that cared about him. I love you Timmy R.I.P. my darling brother.
She made that freaking show! She was the main reason that I watched Saved By The Bell when I was in high school. I had the biggest crush on Lark Voorhies. God bless her and hope she continues to do better. She has come a long way and deserves the best. She is a beautiful, strong, and intelligent woman ♥️
Totally agree
@rudy2fat Same here
Her life is more than Saved by the Bell.
this comment is and shall be more than saved by the bell
She don't need them...she has to realize that
Man, this is one of the most moving interviews I've ever seen. Everytime I watch it, I fight back tears. I'm so proud of her.... and she looks AMAZING!!! 😍
