actually marlee was straight forward. children should be exposed to disabilities so they aren't judgmental later in life.

Love Nene's read of Dionne. "Arguing with a 70 year old woman doesnt look right."

NeNe is such a good storyteller of events, I always love her confessionals! "I will take out my earplugs and we'll need to fight"

Nene doing the sign language LMFAOOO

I like the friendship that Marlee & NeNe developed on this show.

Yes you can see from marlee's face that she's ready to fight! I like how she'd stand up for herself. she's one strong woman. love her.

Nene's commentary has me dead😪😂😂😂😂😂

Dionne: Where?!! Where!?? He can go to the damn supermarket

Dionne arguing with the interpreter....he had to tell her "Im speaking for Marley"😀😀. Cant wait till I get 70!

Nene's reenactment of sign language *dead*

So proud of Marlee Martlin for standing strong....A great woman.

1:11 Nene’s face 😂😂 this lady is a walking meme maker

If you think about it, the irony of it is that children are more quick to accept people who are different because they really just want somebody to play with. They don't place too much emphasis on things like this the way older people do. As someone else has said, it's all about your approach. The reason many people view deafness as a horrible thing is because that's what they were taught. If we teach children about it, then they'll know and be prepared when they are in that kind of situation.

Nene gave my entire existence with her interpretation of Marlee 🤣🤣🤣

Dionne and the translator arguing lmaoooo She’s such an old lady I love it 😂😂

Nene with that sloppy rendition of whatever she thought she was trying to do with the sign language is GOLD !

am i the only one who thinks it must be really hard for marlee to sit at a table with all these people shouting and having to try to lip read and watch jack?

You know older people hate being talked over

I cant watch this without getting so mad. dionne was so ignorant, and children need to be exposed to disabilities so that they will be more accepting later in life. think about it, if a kid sees someone in a wheelchair or something at a grocery store, they stare because its not normal. if we made it normal then kids wouldnt stare. marlee is such a strong woman and im inspired by her each day. a book with a deaf character is a GREAT idea, and there needs to be more of them for children.

Ms. Dionne was really arguing with a sign language translator 😂 She was being ignorant as hell. For shame.

Who's here from Got2breal "They're gonna be sorry for her"

In my opinion, that was a complete low blow by Dionne and I don't blame Marlee one bit for being angry. Marlee never struck me as a pity seeker. In fact, she seems to revel in her deafness and she plays the hand she was dealt very well. I see nothing wrong with making a children's book with a deaf character to educate children about it. Just because one is a "music legend" doesn't mean she's always right.

This whole scene is a mess 😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀

Wow, Dionne is really ignorant. Not only was she insulting for saying that being deaf is sad, she also didn't seem to understand how an interpreter works. She didn't realize that when Jack spoke, he was voicing what Marlee signed. Plus, she didn't even look at Marlee when speaking to her. Not maintaining eye contact while talking to a deaf person is really rude. There should be more books for children that help them understand that being different is ok.

Marlee was MAD mad you can see it on her face she was ready to throw down 😂😂😂

lol speaker: I NEVER TOOK PETTY Dionne: you didn't speaker:no no im talking for marlee @2:08

Dionne doesn't understand that children accept diversity, and very quickly too. It is people who are set in their ways that have trouble being around others who are "different". But also she doesn't understand how capable deaf people are as individuals. Deaf people are very resilient and independent. Her comments are just offensive and upsetting.

The normally pretty calm and collected Marlee was ready to whoop some ass. As an interpreter for a deaf 5 year old, yeah, I wanted to be there to back Marlee up. Kids won't understand... pssh. kids understand more at that young of an age than we do as adults. Their minds are so broad and not influenced by society. I see it everyday with a classroom full of them.

Good for Marlee! Seriously though..... How can anyone be so... RUDE!

Nene and her sign language😂😂😂😂

LOL 2:20-2:28 I died laughing whenever Nene make funny remarks of Marlee's signing.

Lord, Ms. Dionne doing the one thing you're not supposed to do which is talking around a deaf person without looking them in the face.

This entire series was the pinnacle of Reality TV...

I can understand Marlee frustrations because I too have a disability what's wrong with people having disabilities we may not be able to do everything the same way as everybody else but we also find a different way to do it and we cope with that we learn to accept that I think it's good that Marlee wanted to do a book with a character that had a disability because that way kids would learn that nobody is the same everybody is different but everybody is also special in their own way this really made me. Anger I could just see marlee's frustrations in her face. :(

Nene's impression of Marlee 😂😂

I may be the only one who agrees with Dionne.

Not nene saying take out my earplugs 🤣🤣🤣

I will take out my ear plugs and we need to fight!

Ms. Warwick, I'm gonna need you to hold this L.

When you tell kids in front of them that it is something that they can't handle or shouldn't talk about they start to think that there is a reason for it. Like it is something scary or bad. It is not. Prejudice exists because fear is passed on from generation to generation.

i love dionne she crazy lol but she made some great music back in the day so i can forgive this baseball cap hot mess she was on this show

I’m so sorry but Dionne wild af for saying “THEY WILL FEEL SORRY FOR HER👉🏾”😂😂

I can't even deal with NeNe hahaha 😝😂

Pffffhhhahaha when she starts yelling at the poor translator he's just doing his job...

I loved this season ! So hilariously funny and captivating lol

this is one of the saddest episode of that season

Crying. Lmao. THEY WILL FEEL SORRY FOR HER! Lol

You mean like the child who's born deaf can't handle it? The kid who's new kindergarten classmate is deaf can't handle it? Frankly, adults have a bigger problem with so-called disabilities than kids do. If you lead them by example, most kids will follow. And they can handle a LOT more than we give them credit for. Don't believe me? Think of all the kids in much more dangerous parts of the world. They may not be happy go lucky always, but they handle much worse things than deafness. Every day.

THEY ARE GOING TO FEEL SORRY FOR HER!

Dionne just needed to smoke.....

i'm about to lose it right now part i couldn't stop laughing.

we all need us a marlee matlin in our lives who will stand for what's right❤

Kiddies don`t have pity, if their parents don`t. Adults thinks more about it like childrens does. If a kid sees a deaf person, it asks why and then its ok for it. it learns to have Pity from the adults ( my opinion)

Brava Marlee~!. Dionne needs to open her mind.

"As far as Nathan NeNe leaks is confirm, I have no love for that hussy, she tried to play me on celebrity apprentence... trying to come for me, girl you been wearing that Decatur quick weave since the 2nd season of real housewives of Atlanta with the back of it rising like crust." Got2Breal brought me here.

I kinna got Dionne and her point! She was not trying to say kids dont need to be taught diversity her point was that kids MAY not comprehend the "moral" of the story and may come away with a totally different emotion than the story was trying to convey

Brilliant people are often misunderstood.

I forgot how crazy this seasons cast was

I’m sorry, but Dionne was too legendary to do this!

He can go to the damn super market 😂😂

Marlee bout to lose it right here! That was my favorite part!

NeNe has me weak all the wayyyy!!!!

Dione: '' Yoooooooooou did!'' HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Its not just a offensive to deaf people but she is also insulting the intelligence of children. It is good to teach children about diversity and that everyone are equal, and no matter how different somebody is that person should not be threated differently.

This had me screaming laughing!

Dionne needs to exercise some tact. I can't imagine working with her.

NeNe respected Dionne

What a minute did Ms.Dionne talk to the interpreter as if he was Marley 😞

When Nene was mimicking Markee and how Marlee was pissed worn her hands that was so funny . And good for Marlee to speak up and isn’t that what the book is about ?

no, it's that kind of thinking that keeps people with disabilities as a "taboo" subject. Why wouldn't kids be able to handle someone who's different? What is "normal"?

I agree with Dionne! Keep it light for kids!

Dionne was so rude to Marlee.

Dionne been rude in past to alot of people.. . I don't give a darn if you're 80, if you are disrespectful you get called out on it!! If you refuse to work well with others, you get called out on it! It's Just That Simple.....R. E. S. P. E. C. T! Marley Maitland has been fighting for those who are deaf. I have had friends who are half deaf or it's suffered with temporary deafness. I even was proud take care of patients who are deaf and I learned to sign language. It has helped me throughout my life knowing how to sign. I suggest to all Americans learn how to do sign language? You'll never know when you might be helpful to a wonderful people who has a disability of deafness!!!

marlee is the most "alluring" actresses past or present....

I think what Dionne did to Marlee was completely uncalled for and Marlee is right, Dionne was being ignorant.

Yes, but Marlee embraces who she is. She's Deaf and she's PROUD of that. That's probably why she wanted a deaf character in the book. Deaf people exist and so do deaf animals..so why would it be wrong to include one in the book? The world needs to be exposed to things like this early or they won't be able to accept it later, like another KZfaq user stated previously.[hearing] people view being deaf as "sad" or something to pity..it's not.

I Loved That Scene When Dionne Goes Off On Marlee's Translator.

I love Dionne as a performer. She is a LEGEND. In terms of this task, Dionne was correct. This team lost big based on the concept. The larger "Be yourself" concept flew over the heads of the little ones. Dionne was against the larger concept, not against Marlee per se. Context is lacking here.

Baby Marlee was ready to beat Dionne A$$ you hear me😂😂😂

*interpreter saying what Marley is saying* Dionne:”NO! YOU DID!”🗣️”

Kids can handle a lot some people underrate children's abilities to adapt because they themselves are afraid of change. The way you introduce something new is very important. When you teach children about different cultures or types of people you are the one who sets the tone. Will they see a person who is weak or should be pitied or will they see it as a possible friend that has limitations (like some who can't walk or can't see), but is still a person who has thoughts and feelings just like e

Nene did not have to give us an example of Marlee signing… we know what she looks like. 🤣😩

Damn. You know thing are bad when Nene Leakes gets scared! XD

I love you Dionne.

They don’t get it. Dionne was right.

I love Nene omg 😂

Dionne was right. but i understood marlee point. that is the same as getting children to understand gay relationships nowadays. but children will feel sad if someone cant do something everyone else can

Not Dionne fighting with a sign language interpreter

Lisa rinna hasn’t changed

Where 😅 Damn supermarket 😂😂😂😂

How are they too young? I'll happen to let you know that on a children's show title "Sesame Street", one of the characters named Linda the Librarian was deaf and she spoke through sign. May I remind you that sesame street is aimed at children as young as 2? or even younger. Exposing young children to diversity, shows them that their are alot of different people in this world and exposing them to it young will help them realize and tolerate and understand it unlike close-minded Dionne

That was too funny!!!

Take out my earplugs and get to fighting lmaoooo nene

Listen .50 when Marley interrupted Dionne the look of disgust on her face 😂😂😂😂 utter tears ! I know she was thinking ikyfl 🤨 aunty was cutting up this scene.

Dionne should have said there are too many story lines and you don’t want to trivialize the point of the story .

People think Dionne was being condescending to the disabled, hearing impaired people. She said it’s sad in the aspect of it would make the children sad because you’re exposing them to something as serious as a person who is hearing impaired it will make them feel sorry for that person. I get the other side of the disagreement tho they’re trying to expose children to the fact that not everyone in the world is exactly like them or has all 5 senses. There’s no right or wrong to this it’s just tooor communication and understanding on BOTH sides.

OMG I need more of Nene and Rinna

Dionne Warwick is correct her! First of all she was being disrespected! Secondly, she was correct! I understand what people are saying about teaching a child this or that! But, life is hard and children do NOT need to be exposed to EVERY single reality or unpleasantry of Life at Age 3 and 4! Children do NOT need to learn about what is PC and what is not just to make Society feel comfortable! These are children! Society needs to allow this woman to be children! They can learn about such realities of life later on! What is the rush?!?! Don't Rob these children of their childhood by making them grow up too fast and learn about things that they don't need to really learn about or try to comprehend at such a young age! You are robbing children of their innocence! I really hate how Society is today! The one thing I love about my family and those that they allowed into our Circle, was that they were very watchful as to the sort of things that I was exposed to and when I was exposed to them! They ensured that I was allowed to be a child! They ensured that I was exposed to various things at the appropriate age! Now they want children to be exposed to all sorts of things basically right out of the womb! Society is just crazy and you really do have to be Vigilant when it comes to what and when your children are exposed to various realities of life! This is so sad as such things used to be viewed as being common sense!!!

2:23 oh nene 🤣🤣

I'm sure there are times when Marlee is glad she's deaf.
