When struggle gets real and you are at your lowest, only the real ones are there for you and that's why I have empathy for Lark and how she was horribly treated by the the cast for the reunions and get togethers. I'm glad she's better. She was and is a beauty.

@MrLarryLessor 8 ай бұрын

It can be nasty in this society of "You're on your own" "Everyone out for themselves" But it seems like some of the cast has softened... Hey - Maybe it's karma for years of treating "Dustin"/ Screech poorly on Saved by the Bell - just making it public the humiliation of another student by Lark Voorhies character lol No I understand - that's just a show - and that was no excuse for poor treatment of a central castmember - especially when Lark was so nice looking :( But who knows how she acted day to day in real life... .still, no excuses. It seems many of them had a change of heart - she was invited back a couple years ago ..... and even did a "Remember Screech " moment.

I've always thought to myself that if someone is perfect as her has stomach rolls, that it's okay for me to have them. Thanks Tiff. I actually forgot about that, but it was a very formative memory.

I'm a stand-up comic and eight years ago I opened for Dustin Diamond in Titusville, FL. I was so excited to meet him. He did NOT like when I asked him about the show, and half of his set was just talking shit about his SBTB costars. It was honestly very disappointing, but also a pretty cool memory. I'm just happy i got to work with someone I grew up watching on TV. RIP mofo.

She worked very hard to get where she is so she deserves it. All the other Stars included are just as Beautiful or Handsome in their own ways that worked just as hard to get where they are. But as Star's they have skeletons in their closet that are embarrassing or preferred to be private but much harder in the public's eye. And people are quick to judge laugh an attack when they have their own issues that remain Private.

There was also no mention of Max (Ed Alonzo) being a real life magician, and even having his own show at Knotts Berry Farm's Halloween Haunt. I read that on his Wikipedia.
