The one who started at 14 doesn't realize she was trafficked. Of course society didn't see it like that back then.😢

Keep the Ricky Lake episodes coming please 🙏

Man, some of these commercials😂😂😂#nostalgia

Thank you for posting Ricki with commercials!! I love this. It gives me nostalgia!!

Denzel, I think Ricki Lake is the best talk show host ever. Even though, I love the Ricki Lake show and I miss it, too. The Ricki Lake Show is the main reason why I subscribe to your channel. They don't make talk shows like The Ricki Lake Show anymore.

When I was 14 I got clowned for being a virgin. When I didn't have sex I used to look at it as too bad, but it's not too bad that very good, that's a blessing!

This was in 1994. I wonder where these people are today.

I’m home sick and I’m loving watching Ricki Lake.❤

I love that you keep the commercials in!

The one girl said… they want me. they choose me. Very interesting statement. She is lacking acceptance in her childhood more than likely 💔

Oh how i love the scandalous title of the show...followed by light heartedly music 😂

I know this show and the episodes aired back in the 90s but I hope the lady was able to find her family member who went missing😢

I wonder if Rheynetta was still alive in 1996-around 2002. She would've been the perfect "voice of reason" expert to out-of-control teens, especially those who were sexually promiscuous.

Wow, people had morals back then. The audience are not having it. In 2024, there would be no show.

People were so fly back in the day

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

Well this hasn't aged well for the nay sayers 😂.. 2024, and their daughters are probably on OF 😑 lol

Literally every girl on instagram

I have a bone to pick with the lady who blamed prostitution for ending her marriage; The prostitutes didn’t do that to you. Your husband did. Blame the one who’s actually at fault.

Happy wonderful 2024 thank you for showing these beautiful reruns a lot of these I didn't ever see. I hope that you'll do more. Like with Jenny Jones that would be really great 👌🏼🥰💯📺📽️💫,🧧🎎🐉✨✨🎇📰📰📰

The only people doing something wrong here were the ones, who were shaming others for selling sex. The first and third were clearly doing well, and they had chosen a profession, which made it possible for them to study and raise a child without working 80 hours a week. The second were a victim of adults' abuse, but that was not her fault, and it was no reason for anyone to speak to her with anything but kindness and respect. The former prostitute was SO annoying. If she wanted them to leave prostitution, being condecending is not the way to do it.

The amount of judgment here is craaaazy.

Thanks for uploading, but this audio... It's like listening to a 90's tape recording with 80's headphones. #nostalgia, lol

Most women don't get to that level Because they start to support drug habits.. the women who reach the * higher levels" are usually those who don't have an addiction . That's the simple/only difference most of the time. If your trying to get high & walking the corners for $$ yes something is 10times more likely to happen. Not all walkers use though, but it's a small portion. Most females who do it & are clean will move up the level very quickly. For them it's like running a business, where as for drugs it's all about " hitting a lick*. No matter what society always looks at the bad end of the spectrum to make rules. You cant do that, basing the rules everyone will follow off those who have essentially hit rock bottom. It hasn't worked and never will work. An example is. Marijuana, America wasn't keen to legalize. Now they have and they can regulate it like a proper business. The issue was never really was it a hard drug, the issue was always they felt they would be legalizing and promoting those who sell on the corners & cause chaos/violence, gangs that get in the business & harm people etc those people are always gonna be there even if something is illegal. Making everything illegal simply excludes those who do the right things & want to follow a standard. It also makes it even harder to control because instead of having those who are " authorized" to do it and following a standard guidelines/laws, every individual who does it becomes a "criminal". Makes no sense and it wastes a lot of time/money.

The first one lookes like Demi Moore.

I personally don't see how people say prostitution is degrading to women....it's not a female only job...there are also male prostitutes....but yes, there are more female prostitutes than male prostitutes. But as long as you consent to being a prostitute (ie, not being forced by a pimp or sex trafficking) there is nothing wrong with it. It's legal to sell things, it's legal to have sex, so why is it illegal to sell sex? No one is forcing someone to PAY for sex, people are willingly making the choice to pay for a prostitute when they feel the need to do so.

I am not in agreement of prostitution at all, however you don't need to be murdered or go missing because of this profession, it happens to anyone in all walks of life and no matter your age

"They love me" "I brought up like that"...etc she thinking her body being used is love!, the19yo she seem less mature then her age she is stuck in child mentality! She seem depressed and seems dealing with trauma related issue

Of course I could be completely wrong here but wasn't the Ricki Lake show one of the only 'real' shows with 'real people?'

See.... There Were 304's in da 90's, too.

Wait… at 37:40 the ex-prostitute lady says that the men came to her because “it had nothing to do with the fact they weren’t getting at home”, but then immediately follows it up with that they came to her because she could give them something that they weren’t getting from their wife… gurl… 😂

Air date? Or at least just the year. Thankss
