    I would really like to see Drew interview Brendan Fraser in a raw & real moment like this. His story is probably SO big, and filled with so much hurt and pain. I think a lot of people would relate to him, and she will relate to him, and maybe give him the opportunity in a space where he feels heard & understood by someone who has grown up in the industry. I can't wait for the Fraser-rection ❤❤

    I love Selma so much. As a woman and mother, with MS, myself...I love and admire how brave and amazing she is!! She never gave in to the disease and she is truly a beacon of light to those of us in the throes of the dark hole this disease encompasses.

    Oh my god! She is so much better. I watched her documentary & some clips from a year or 2 ago and back then she couldn’t even get a complete sentence out… and look at her now!!! THIS IS AN AMAZING TRANSFORMATION. I’m so proud of her and I’m so happy for her. Selma, live your best life_recovery looks gorgeous on you 😍🥰

    11:55 “Life WILL change.” Not new advice but the way she said it made it sound different and new to me. Personally I feel like I’m never going to leave this phase of life I’m in but hearing this gave me much needed grounds for hope. What a wise and trailblazing lady.

    Wow. Bless Drew and this show. There is so much beautiful space for healing here. As if Selma hasn't been through enough. What a phenomenal woman! The Internet tells me she is 50, but I think it's broken! There is no way. She is just as stunning as she was in Cruel Intentions.

    I had an extremely toxic childhood, & Adulthood, I totally can relate and have so much empathy for both of you, Selma looks wonderful, I am so happy to see her looking well again. My father is gone 49 years, my mom 22 years, and my sister 19 years, My brother left the family 40 years ago and has told everyone scathing stories about me, he poisoned his own son about his siblings and parents, in his mind he is the only victim, he and my sister blamed me for getting all the attention, when I was under the care of doctors from birth to age 27. You have to develop a very strong will to live, you have to redefine your identity, related yes, defined by no, in your aloneness you build your strength, you have to put abuse behind you. Drew, and Selma you have done that, you have grown into beautiful strong, incredible women.

    @rygy82 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Thanks so much Selma and Drew!!! I've always identified with Drew, I obviously didn't live in the limelight like her, but I had to raise myself. My parents were great, but they both had 2-3 jobs when I was growing up. So I was a latchkey kid and spent so much of my childhood alone, taking care of my own needs, and getting into alcohol and drugs. We all deserve second chances to parent ourselves! (heart)

I love having a deep look into Selma’s life. She has always been a favorite of mine, and this makes my adoration for her so much stronger. I love Drew in the same way. They’re both such beautiful rays of sunshine and watching this just melts my heart. 💛💛💛
