She knows what she wants to say but she struggles with saying it. That must be so frustrating.
@Traci Jones The BEST 😍 for Me too!
Bria Barrows right 😢
It is. I know her struggles.
@Traci Jones You absolutely communicate very well in writing. Maybe write a book or screenplay about your struggles? I hate that in our society people can alienate and judge instead of being understanding and compassionate. I’m thankful that I serve Christ. In Him you can find your true identity, comfort, confidence and peace. I know it’s hard because we are human and want human connections and want to be seen as “normal”. However, I know that God loves you exactly as He made you and can help you to use your situation to glorify Him and help others. 🙏🙂
Shirley Giordano I
She is very articulate despite her illness.
James Boss Could you expand on your answer? Do you disagree that she has schizoaffective disorder? Or are you saying that she does have it but that it’s drug induced?
And what points to it being drug induced? Thank you.
D D Yes, in this interview she is very vulnerable and brave at the same time, it is touching. I really am really glad that she seems to have finally gotten the proper diagnosis ánd treatment and I truly wish her all the best! 🙏🏾
@rrr ccc exactly.
Don’t you think it’s another matter of colorism why they shun her, just look at how she dyed her hair blond.
marcus harry People with bi polar disorder are know to drastically change their hair style from time to time. Could be colorism, but would not be my first guess.
So glad she’s improving, she seems to have such a kind energy. Wish they included her, it would have probably done her wonders.
Sas Thyme yes my dear friend is bipolar type one. Took her about three years to really recover
Another person with no sense.
You want a mentally fragile person who’s mental state started to crack on that show to return WHILE she’s still mentally fragile ? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
If she’d done the show I guarantee you would have heard about her suicide a few weeks later 🙈
NATsoHIGH ! … and I have no sense. Reread your comment🙄.
Being fragile suffering from bi polar does not make you obsolete. Doing something in life that creates a feeling of productivity is a sure fire way in improving the symptoms of the disorder. Having a medical practitioner supporting her abilities to tackle life is enough to know it’s safe for her to at least try. Feeling a sense of accomplishment is a powerful medicine. Acting is what she loves and does well, I’m quite sure getting back to work would help. She definitely needs support to stay on track, everyone close to her is in the know so there’s a significantly reduce chance of her spiralling as long as she continues her treatment.
To come and throw your 2 pennies in as much as predicting triggers and suicide shows how senseless you actually are, not me.
NATsoHIGH ! … with all your laughing face emojis, maybe you might need treatment for a mental issue, this subject matter isn’t humorous. I can’t see why a person of sane mind would have so much to laugh about concerning this matter, weird.
Stop getting High.
@Sas Thyme laughing face emojis therefore I need mental treatment? Lord, no wonder mental health care systems are overrun. People putting mental health on others that don’t even have it. Considering you state its not a laughing matter, you have no issue with making light-hearted fun about me potentially having mental issues. The irony is strong with this one.
Dear Miss Voorhees, do not be pained because four has-beens chose to reunite and not include you. You are bigger than that and bigger than they.
I guess you missed the part where she said she understands why she was included in the reunion.
Would you have referred to Lark as a has been if she’d been asked to return???
If you aren’t of fan of theres then thats fine, but the saying
“Don’t tear down one to uplift others” is perfect right here
Preach it! They are discriminating against her illness! I know her battle, it’s no fun, and the stigma needs to stop! She will go above and beyond all of them someday! Because mental illness makes you strong.
Chet Lindsay right!
Has beens? You can hate them for not including Lark, but has-beens they are not. They have ALL had great Hollywood careers. Shaming them makes you no better.
I will not be watching any save by the bell reunion if she dont include her. Smh shame on those writers, producers etc etc
good, peace out.
fuller house did fine, girl meets world did fine. this will do fine as well.
Right on!! Boycott the reunion!
They did Mr Belding the principal the same way SMH
I agree with you its heart breaking they didnt include her its wrong on their part I dont wanna see that either .its messed up the treatment she is receiving.
Agreed. It’s all or nothing
She looks like she is about to cry. It’s so sad. Even with her struggles, she is looking great!
She was always beautiful inside and out.
Satan is her daddy. Don’t believe the children of the lie.
She is still beautiful.
Are y’all on crack. She was hot back in the day but looks terrible now
Kevin K why would you say that? For a few laughs that’s not right
Wow that’s so shady they didn’t include her to participate.
@Tiripsroirraw Thank You thats what I tried to explain to @NATsoHigh ! But he doesnt get it.
Her job is not like a “Mcdonalds job” she was apart the cast and now they are having a reboot without her and Dustin.
The reboot is gonna be based on them in an older aspect now how are they gonna have success with it without 2 of cast members that was there since the beginning.
Thats like Wesley snipes making another blade movie without him in it. It wont work period! Lol!
NATsoHIGH ! I understand what you’re saying but she received no support whatsoever not even an ear to listen to her! No one reached out even to inquire about how she is doing so that’s shady.
@Rayshawn Ross exactly, that’s like saying if one of the members from Metallica / The Supremes / Earth Wind And fire, got bad off sick, not of the members didn’t show support. Even though they’re not family, they are a group / brand. Same with ” Saved by the bell ‘ The OG cast which build their brand with Their characters with each other
@parisLuvs agreed !!!!!!,
Even before I was diagnosed with PTSD (Combat) I always stood up for people with MI. Very few friends and not a single family member supported me. Many thought I was making it up and others just saw me as weak or lazy. Our society is currently in a very sad state in which ‘movements’ aren’t helping. Revolutions anyone!?!
I would luv to see Lark back on tv. Lisa Turtle was a part of my childhood. Let her shine again hollywood, will have patience and understanding and build her career back up. So proud of you Lark. 🙂
This is the true reality of mental illness. You are shunned, isolated, left when in fact you are at a point where you need people and compassion the most.
There are two sides to every story… it’s ok to remove yourself from ppl. I’m sure they have all tried to help etc
KV J absolutely
They Really need to let her in the reunion I won’t watch unless Lark Voorhees is in it honestly it’s not the same
@Re Up Agreed, As many people as we see in Hollywood strung out and everything. At least Lark is getting herself better without being that way. The producers of that show could’ve work with Lark to bring more awareness to those with mental illness, with having the character Lisa having a disorder that was not aware until later, that would’ve been great for those who have mental illness whom may watch to show to have someone to relate to.
@RudeasxEbo ! after seeing this testimony, I know there is hope!
God bless you!
There’s something very authentic pure and innocent about Lark. She’s never mean to anybody and she’s been through a lot. She even still talks to Dustin Diamond who everyone hates. She’s too sweet for this world.
Christopher Angeli thank you for this comment, so true. I’m so proud of her for being so brave as she walks her walk.
Agreed well said
She is sweet and fragile and just needs some kindness and understanding, I’m sure she will flourish 💗💗. Sending love & 🙏 to ms. Lark
She carries herself so well despite the touchy questions. She’s a class act, I used to idolize her as a kid and now I do even more.
Carmen Belle I do too.
Idolism isn’t good
Carmen Belle maybe you should stop idolizing other broken people and seek the Most High since His ways are PERFECT!!
Lark seems like a sweet, classy person. She doesn’t deserve to be treated like this. AT ALL. As a 90s kid, I was excited to learn of the Saved by the Bell reboot, because I grew up with the original show. I was a kid when it was at its height. But now I’m thinking I don’t even want to watch it. They should’ve included Lark. Even if it was an occasional ‘special appearance’ which I’m sure would be something she could handle. But not even a damned cameo? That sucks!
So true! I just said the same. So poised & sweet in her answers. 🌷 Prayers, peace & good vibes for you, Lark. 🙏🏽🕊
She handled herself with a lot of dignity and respect.
And that’s how she became what she hates. She wants to be white. Same as man wana be women. No difference. All lies…. the dark side is a liiiiiieeeee
@michelle louise What the hell are you talking about? What does her having dignity and respect have to do with race?
No
At the end of the day Screw those cast mate, IMO it was a collective agreement not to invite her, not even one of them made the effort to invite her. piss me off
She’s still beautiful, and pray for her to get all the healing she needs
Absolutely!!!!!!
She was my favorite person on the show. If she’s not there for the remake…. I can’t even watch it. ❤ Love you Lark! Stay powerful and strong! You have many fans that love you forever!
She was a pioneer there weren’t too many black teenage girls in tv series back then
Good answer. I find it a bit annoying that people don’t seem to remember anything that happened more than 20 years ago. Black Panther the first black Marvel superhero film? So… There’s not 3 Blade movies?
Mario Lopez is a minority too.
Lark said she understands why she wasn’t included.
Oh …. Ask why oh why poor Michael Jackson hated being black. She will show you. Don’t believe the children of the LIE
Don Geraçi blade is not a superhero. He’s an anti villain.
@Don Geraçi They didn’t say it was the first they said the first with an all black main cast and the first with a 100 million dollar budget 😒
She’s holding back the tears…I’m crying for her.
Me Too😭😒
Are you crying for coronavirus victims
@Ze Bunker Relevance of your question?
@NewNails WhoThis That person was being so extra. Sheesh!
She looks beautiful. I really don’t understand why she was not included in the reboot. It’s so sad that she is struggling with this terrible condition.
