Dont let a man tell you he doesn't want you more than once.

The children are the real victims of their selfishness.

You can't keep someone who don't want to be kept.

“You haven’t mentioned once that he was a good father” 😂😂😂 Rickie went in with that one lol

They didn't put the full title "I got pregnant just to keep him... And it didn't work" 😂

Pregnancy never kept a man. If he stays its because he wants to. Not because of a baby.

Their's young girls and especially grown women who still do this in 2023, it's sad and embarrassing 🤦🏾‍♀️

I need to see a “where are they now” update. Them and theses kids 🥴🥴🥴

Getting questions from the audience was how people commented back then 😂 saying it directly to them

when i was growing up watching Ricky Lake, she looked so much older and seemed so mature. Now looking back at this now i realize she looked so young and just carried herself in such a mature way. The 90s era was weird but much more respectable

It's heffers like this has to why we have many damaged kids with trauma in the black community

These type of women will choose their man over them kids...

Not the audience laughing about her knowing when she ovulated. Times have definitely changed because what she said was true.

The theme song brings me back to watching this after school

The selfishness and the lack of self respect on the stage is infuriating

She said she got a man but slept with him lastnight she don’t make any sense

So the children of these folks are now grown. My hope is that they learned from their parents’ mistakes.

"I told her to throw that fish back in the sea and find you a shark!"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hi. I was on an episode of The Ricki lake show between 94-96 I believe. I was very young so it’s hard to remember. The episode was titled something along the lines of “you changed/saved my life, and now I want to pay you back/and I have a surprise for you. I know this is a vague description but I have searched the internet and cannot find it. If you have access to episodes then maybe you can help. A brief synopsis of the episode is that my stepmom wanted to thank my biological dad for being amazing to her by bringing me (male) and sister to the show to meet him for the first time in our lives. Another guest was in a car accident and her car caught fire and as she was burning someone reached in and pulled her out and saved her life and she wanted to thank him personally. Thank you in advance if you can help at all!

So how many children does she need to give birth to in order to “keep him!” 20? 😂

What in the Blueface & Chrisean is going on

Ricki need to do a re-boot and see where some of these guest are today; updates. How their live has changed and their outlook on life today and thoughts on their younger selves - what would they do differently. I love all the old talk show back in the day, Sally, Geraldo, Tempsett, Queen Latifah and the Richard Bey show was the best raw and uncut...lol!

People are laughing at her for saying, "I know when I'm ovalating bc I feel it in my tubes". I knew each time I got pregnant bc it's like a little flutter or release when you conceive. She knew too when she got pregnant.

So no one is willing to acknowledge if you are having unprotected sex you are clearly getting pregnant on purpose? They are just the ones willing to admit it.

It’s the crowd yelling out the word, welfare! For me! 😂😭😂

😂😂😂 “What is up with everybody’s self esteem on this stage?!”

30 years later, I'm sure all of them regret doing this episode. LOL

The first woman is a hot mess!!! I swear Ricki’s show the place to be!!! 🙌🏾

Getting pregnant but no marriage 😮

My mom did this …. She had me to keep my dad … my dad left her and my mom hated me so I ended up with no parents lol

Omgggg i feel so old for watching the beginning theme! I was 13 years old when this came out! And now im 42! Good lawd!😢

What in the world is wrong with all these people?!? 😳

All I’m seeing in this episode is low self esteem and women with low self esteem creating broken families, without a fathers presence involved

These are same men and women of today…nothing has changed…but the style in clothes lol

I'm with LaShonda! Reginald ain't all that!

The First Lady is so flippant. She wants to believe so badly that he loves her

Like I told my daughter years ago, that having a baby won't keep a man. Men leave all the time. Just like my dad did (I was the 3rd child). Not that all men are dogs but women shouldn't have children unless they can be the sole provider. I'm glad my daughter, even though she made some bad decisions on the men in her life, but she works 2-3 jobs to take care of her three children. They are 17, 15 and 14 but they aren't out there committing crimes like some teens are doing.

Vickie I just know your kids and family still embarrassed by her. Girl stand up

Hope Vickie got some self-esteem and self-respect since then

Vickie is remedial lol

Nothing Has Changed , Up To This Very Same Day Some Women Are Still Doing This Nonsense 🙄 Smh.

My lord the first women makes us women look bad, she's a mess

If a man don’t want u…u can have 10 kids by him he will not end up with u …in fact he will use u for whatever but will have his other women on the side or maybe his women that he is in „love“ with

A baby doesn't keep a man. If marriage is failing , don't have a baby thinking it'll fix a marriage, it doesn't! If not married, a man could walk away at any time

Do these people heard of HIV at all?😢

Nobody had dental insurance in the 90s? 😂😂wtf

I feel so sorry for these kids! My son was planned and my husband left me and my son when he was 6 months old cause he cheated with the barmaid! My son suffered his whole life of feeling abandoned and is still hurts him and he's so angry!!

I never tried to trap anyone but I also learned at a young age that babies are scary. I was babysitting a 4 month old and she was crying.

We didn’t need this Ricki photo shoot as the show opener 😂

Watching this show with adult eyes and perspective is WILD. It’s no longer ‘entertainment’. The poor children

The fashion is crazy lol but watching this brings back all the memories

Ain’t nothing gone keep a man. He gone be where he wanna be

Vicky Vicky Vicky making broken homes. I Hope her children didn’t repeat the process

My sister got pregnant at fifteen years old, it was the scariest thing that she ever dealt with! She had a nineteen year old boyfriend! He wanted a baby ,not her!

Not fair to the children. This tactic is selfish and short-term thinking.

If you a 80s or 90s baby that's how alot of us got here stop playing 😂😂😂

Reginald and LaShon over there looking like lost Temptation members smh…. Bye baby😂😂😂😂😂🫡✌🏽

That is not a way to keep a man

Imagine this being your mom and dad 😂😂😂

So crazy to think these people are so young being teens, 20s & 30s & easily look like they are in their 50s 😂

No baby is going to keep a man if he wants to be there,then he’ll be there if not then he won’t!!

So glad I found this channel. Thank you for bringing the nostalgia of my childhood to the present (Dec 2023). Long live the 90s!

WOMEN!!! This is the oldest trick in the book! The first lady already had 2 children and adding another child to the mix??? I don't understand. He's not going to change. Sometimes children make situations worst.

That audience member wasn’t paying attention 😂

I remembered reading an article about young girls getting pregnant on purpose when I was thirteen years old

Yes. You can feel the drop of ovulation. In German it's called Mittlesmerz. I feel mine.

1993 wow they’re older than me now, wonder what her babies are up to now

3:59 Honestly, I don't think he knew what the word ovulate meant. 😂

Vickie embarrassing asf

He’s telling her that he’s not going to be faithful to here. And she still wants him in here life

Is she kidding? She wants this guy back after abusing her! She's fifteen years old! She should move on to someone else! If she gets pregnant, it's only going to get worse!

My friend does this. Every man she has been with she has told them she is on birth control and then takes pills to get pregnant to "trap" them. She is on her 6th child now and isnt with any of their dads and has none of her 5 other kids. The dads end up with the kids and she just moves on to the next man then has another baby. Its insane. She is 31 and is still doing this. This baby she is pregnant with now she said she got pregnant because the guy she was with had a baby already with someone else and she didnt like the other baby mama so she got pregnant to show the other woman shes not the only baby mama now and isnt in control. The guy found out she is pregnant and left her. Now hes saying hes taking the baby when its born. And sadly he probably will and she will move on and have another baby.

I must have quiet tubes because I didn’t feel anything.

I like the fact that Ricki always has that on guests who show regret from what the majority of the guests are doing. It seems like TV in the 90s was pretty progressive and tolerant towards subjects like this and many others.

This is embarrassing in 2023😂😂😂

This was before women knew a baby doesn’t keep a man now you stuck with his kids he’s gone living his best life

I love Ricki Lake Its my childhood favorite show

I'd like to ask these women what the relationship with their father is. I bet that they all have 1 thing in common but you're not ready for that conversation...

This is a direct result of children growing up without a father in the household. These guests are merely repeating the cycle that their own parents perpetuated.

Don't these men ever consider their children? There's a lot of talk about what each adult wants for themselves but very little consideration for the needs of the children

Love this! Please keep posting FULL episodes of Ricki & Tempestt if you can 💚

Vicky gotta be embarrassed

Just hearing the intro to Ricki Lake makes me happy 😊 Good Times

I’d love to know what happened in the long run with the people on Ricki.

Omg i remember running home frm middle school to catch ricki lake 🎯 ugh the nostalgia ❤❤❤❤❤❤ 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

We should all be thankful for the talk show era. We learned a lot as a nation and are still learning from these interviews and stories.

Ladies don’t sell your self short. Thank you Talk Show Rewind.🙏

I know a girl who was just as delulu as vicki. She got a guy Initial tatted on her, claiming him as her boyfriend when the only time she’d see him was when we went to the club in his city(we stayed about 30-40 mins) . we’d get a room to have to drive back home until the morning. he come have sex with her, then leave. Never came to our city to see her. no dates. Never helped her if needing something. She was big slow and like vickie, you couldn’t tell her anything.

One thing a man gon’ do is keep disrespecting you, especially if you stick around and let him! 💅🏽 No tea, no shade! 😕

Thomas feels used and manipulated but didn't wear protection loll

These ladies ARE DELULU 😅

RICKI LAKE TALK SHOW: 90’s: Ricki Lake has the grooviest theme show opening 🎵 🎼 🎶 love the drums and that funky bass guitar!

Zenobia got the best situation going on, and the best mindset. She definitely don’t have self-esteem issues.

They're BUGGIN'!! Lol @ "Potent Reginald"

Last time I checked getting pregnant doesn't keep a man with you they run away period

everyone got chipped teeth...

When he came out, alll I could see was dust!!!!!😂

Jamie is such a beautiful girl, it amazes me at how some women could allow these losers to get inside of their heads & make them feel ugly or less than. Sad. And am i the only one that was expecting Thomas to have like a Mexican accent? Not a Hillbilly accent😮😂

His grill speaks a million words!!!

Oh my god this show takes me back to sick days at home from school and school holidays. I loved 💕 Ricki Lake
