  • Translation Please! Lark Voorhies Discusses Mental Health Rumors… (VIDEO)

    Nov, 17 2012 | Written by ATLien

    Remember those horrid photos that turned up of Saved By The Bell Actress Lark Voorhies? Well Lark’s definitely looking a whole lot better these days!

    After the a series of bizarre photos hit the net, rumors swirled that Lark had had botched plastic surgery,  may have been on drugs, and some even said she had a deadly disease.

    [FLASHBACK: WTF Happened to Lark Voorhies aka "Lisa Turtle" from Saved By The Bell? (PHOTOS)]

    It was Lark’s mom who came forward to let the world know that Lark’s weird appearance and questionable actions were attributed to a mental illness (click HERE if you missed that), and while Lark denies her mom’s claims, it’s apparent that her Mom was telling the truth.

    Voorhies recently interviewed with E! to deny she has mental health issues and and while she spoke all I could think was… “where’s the translator?”

    Video below…


    VIDEO: Lark Voorhies On Mental Health Rumors

    Translation please…. (I know there’s someone out there who speaks Lark’s language!)

    Lark didn’t clear up a dayum thing in this bizarre interview! In fact, I think she just proved her Mother was telling the truth.

    I don’t know about y’all… but I’m almost mad at the E! reporter for engaging her in this nonsense!

        I agree. She is off. Anybody on here that has experience working with the mentally ill, please tell me how does a person just snap like that and all of a sudden has mental problems?? Oh and I’m not sure what she said either.

          MI can be hereditary, or it could be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain (which can be caused by drug use). Some people don’t exhibit symptoms (of schizophrenia) until their mid-30s, so it can appear as if a person "snapped."

          Many of my clients are embarrassed of their diagnosis. I always tell them, "there are two kinds of people in society; those who take meds, and the rest who haven’t been prescribed any yet."
          Many of my clients got better sense than some of my neighbors, or other ‘professionals’ I encounter. Maybe she’s noncompliant with her meds (shrugs). They won’t work if you don’t take them. IJS.

      Most of those pictures look like she used the wrong shade of foundation for her skin. Also, the light…. If she has a mental illness SO WHAT! So does 20 million other Americans. She probably has more good days than bad, and the news media has caught her on a bad day. Don’t demonize her….pray for her and if you see her say hello.

      I’m actually a graduate student in the process of getting my masters in Counseling and people are calling her paranoid but she exhibits no signs of paranoia in this particular video. Her speech is rather difficult to understand but that does not mean she needs to be be in a strait jacket. It’s sad to see that E! would even post this or that straightfromthea would go on to include it on the site but people love to watch a train wreck.

      I think this only enhances the stigma of mental illness in the Black community. In regards to Lark, no one knows what she has. Everyone can make ASSUMPTIONS, just like her mother, but until she sits down with a real psychologist or counselor and receives a diagnosis, people need to shut up and stop trying to label the woman.

I hope she get her life together & stay away from the CADAVER MAKE-UP, as Funky Dineva would say, Cremation No. 5 & Embalming Blush lol

      So did her mother say she’s actually under psychiatric care? Since she brought this to the media’s attention, I hope she’s actively trying to help her through this process. Many family members/friends know there’s an issue, but sit by the wayside and do nothing. With friends like that…

      VH1 Soul played Boyz II Men’s "On Bended Knee" video a couple of days ago, and all that I could think about is how gorgeous and vibrant she once was.

      Lark does look much better in the interview than she did in some of the photos that have been circulating. I saw a clip on "ET" the other day, but this blog has a different clip from the interview.

      As for the sidebar on this blog, you can’t fix a person who doesn’t acknowledge the need for help.

      Lark’s mom indicated that Lark had been through a lot. This is Hollywood we are talking about. Who knows what sort of awful things may have befallen Lark as a child star? Hollywood is the type of place where people will threaten you if you tell, so it’s not like she can really go to the public and disclose what has happened to her.

      We all need to be praying for her.

      So ya’ll didn’t get what she meant when she said I have to make sure my package is in tact? Its not that complicated… She lives in Hollywood and she is a former child star… Alot of Former child stars get lost in the sauce and walk away soul less and broke… Her package is her SOUL. That girl isn’t crazy… But just like Charles Hamilton she doesn’t want to say the wrong thing and have people at her
