On that day of this episode I was sitting in the audience with three of my friends. It was on a Saturday January 1996. We were there for two tapings. The second show was not planned for but decided at the last minute to stay for it. Ricki was very nice and personable. It is great to be able to look back twenty eight years later.
I really adore these 90's hairdos they need to bring them back they were awesome in on point. Let them go and be to they self 💯‼️🥰 God will always show you who your enemies are even in your own household I would love to see what is happening with all of the guests since most of them now we'll be in their fifties and some of them in their sixties 💯‼️🥃🍾✨😎🤔👀🎉🥳🥰
Tiffany, Lindy and Niki’s hairstyles remind me of my college days in the 90s. I wore my hair this way often. French rolls. Mostly like Tiffany’s hair. Fun Times
Wow! It's already fascinating to watch these vids & see what trends we were following in the '90s. Seeing some of the fashions for the BBWs shows we've come a looong way from hiding in long, flowing tops & more trying to hide weight. I love seeing my fellow BBWs showing their curves & living our best lives. #progress! Also, props to Tiffany for saying "SEE YA!" & throwing the hand up to Niki. You can't force someone to lose weight, eat healthy, stop drinking, etc.; they have to want it for themselves. I know b/c I had an aunt by marriage that was told by Drs. when she was in the hospital that she had to stop drinking. She literally drank herself to death 1 week later.
Wow how petty. Ending a 10 year friendship over weight. Diane isn't big at all in my opinion. She's what an average middle aged woman looks like. Diane seemed mad cool and has a beautiful soul.
I sense a lot of jealousy and projected insecurities...the "friends" are a french fry away from being fat themselves...they aren't fit or small...yet judging someone elses weight?
These are not real friends! I hope those people dropped them like a hot brick after this show! I have had overweight friends all my life, I never cared… now my mom, she’s a horrible person, she used to talk bad about them all the time and I would just ignore her
Dang I want to get my hair done like this . Theses was the days when beauty Salon s use to change only $25 or $35 dollars and $15 for a wash and set and they didn't over change everyone came to them to get they hair done. ♥️😍
Come on now, take me back! I used to get a perm . The last time I went it cost $50.00. When I went back ot was 100.00 plus dollars. Thank.God I an natural now!
@@rosahurd6620 U can also learn how to fix and prem your own hair just search on u tube how to fix my own hair and some videos will come up on how to fix and prem your own hair .
You definitely didn't live in southern California. We paid a black tax cause we had minimal black hairstylist. My last hairstyle I got in 1996 in San Diego I paid $85 for pin curls my cousin did. I moved to NYC for college 15:55 and I'm getting wash and blow dry for 12 to 15 dollars relaxers frim$25 to $35 at the Dominican salon.
At my new office building the doorman was quite heavy. I always say good morning to everyone. Somehow we started talking and he likes the same music I do. We don't talk that much because we're both working. If you have a good trustworthy, honest and loyal friend dont lose them., their weight can change and they may weigh less than you.
When I was in grade school and middle school, our next door neighbors child was a bit heavy. We were friends until my family moved away and we lost touch. Maybe around late 1990s she found me on a website and wrote me a few times. I wrote her back. Then I didn't hear from her again. That's sad the girl went on tv to ditch her friend because she's heavy. She said she helped her get off drugs. That's a good friend.
I think the skinner woman are very insecure and somewhat jealous ,,,its one thing to help your friend find ways to loose weight ,,and its another to be rude and down your friend and have a ultimatum ,,thats just plain wrong
There’s no debate here. These people dumping their friends over their weight is disgusting. I feel like the overweight friends are staying around out of insecurity, especially with their “friends” putting them down constantly. No real friend would tell you to change the way you look. Period.
The only thing I would be concerned about is building a good relationship with my friend besides worry about them being overweight........ Just unnecessary BS from these so called friends.
Damm I love this show it was the best...her show was the only one out of all the shows that were the best ..her show was more professional than the others ..this show brings back memories I wish I could close my eyes an go back to the 90s where life was amazing n easy going ..😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤✨✨✨🌺🌺⭐⭐🌷🌷👍👍👍💝💝..but at the same time it's sad how over weight people always get targeted an put down in how they look which sucks .
I really felt for rikki here as you could see the hurt and upset she felt, from her own experiences. I felt so awful for all these so called 'fat' people, those people that brought them on here are NOT friends, this is disgusting! A friend is about being there and loving them for them! You help encourage them if they need to change for their health, not bullying them, put them down or threaten your friendship!! WTF?!! what the hell is wrong with these people, what right do they have to say when they can be friends or not just because of weight!! I hope these people have found much better true friends and that the ones that brought them on the show have grown up and realised/changed their ways! All these people have their own problems and insecurities, they are attacking their friends due their own insecurities 😿😭
I just realized in my adult age that the Ricki Lake show was MESSSSSSYYYY lol meet the person I've been cheating with SHEESH . A true friend will love you unconditionally there is encouraging and being outright mean and cruel. The 1st lady is a user when she was getting high and battling addiction I'm very sure she wldnt have been cool with her friend calling her a junkie or drunk and than turn around and say I'm trying to help you get off drugs she I'm also sure her friend was funding her drug and drinking habit
And hence all the vulchers came out with the new and improved “body positivity “ movement. They piggybacked on our sentiment for the nonsense we have now.
This was the 90s . Body imagine back then was skinny ppl . Today ppl are pushing obesity like it’s cool and it’s not . We need ppl like this today . Calling fat ppl out cus they don’t have to be fat
Why do some people think that heavier people OWE it to them to lose weight? To this day people still think they have the right to tell other people to lose weight when their weight aint hurting NO ONE not even themselves most of the time despite popular belief 🤷🏻♀️ like for the love god let harmless innocent people exist
@@nightsky3981 It is true I last saw Tiffany in 2019 and she told me she was probably going to die. I didn't want her to talk like that. Shit, she was only 42 when she told me that. But I got a call a few months later and a mutual friend broke the news. I couldnt make it to her funeral but I was sent her obituary. She is gone and she is missed.
Y’all forget these neurotics that are so unhealthy they obsess over their inability to control their loved ones. Period. These people are miserable and I guarantee it reflects in other aspects of their lives.
Yeah, but Vickie , on the other hand you can't saying that you willing to go to the gym with her and then bow. A 10 year friendship out the window though. Because she don't wanna lose the weight when you. It's because she won't do it when you want her to do it. She should do when she's ready to do. It lose her weight. It's not that easy, though. The way everybody try to make it out to be. Losing weight is not that easy. It's easier to gain pounds than lose weight.😊
The 90’s were so different. We know now that more than ever weight jokes, commenting on other folks’ bodies, etc. is all wrong & ridiculous. Now we know that it’s all fat phobic & needs to stop 🛑
i want to thank wayback classic tv shows for letting me put their videos on my channel it's sad that their youtube channel got deleted
@Denzel Crawford
May I just say I love your first name and was wondering if you were named after Mr Washington ? And I like your channel too.
How did their channel get deleted?
Sorry to hear that.
Much success and health to all. May g-d bless you and your family always.

I love the hair and make up of the 90’s! Make up was colorful! Make up today is dull in my opinion and hair has to be too controlled.
Love rewatching this show it is still entertaining today ❤
This Classic Ricki Lake show takes me back to my childhood memories since I was a kid
Tiffany, Lindy and Niki’s hairstyles remind me of my college days in the 90s. I wore my hair this way often. French rolls. Mostly like Tiffany’s hair. Fun Times
The 90s was all about looks!
Some things will never change
Funny how even fashion can repeat itself
She’s embarrassed to hang out with her, but doesn’t mind being in tv with her. Girl please 😒.
Back in the days everyone expressed exactly how they felt. Watching them today. I think back on how forward we were 😂
Yes! I miss that. Everything now is ignorant, games and fake!
She’s not her friend. Plus ol girl ain’t skinny herself 😏😡
The heavy set girl was my friend Tiffany and he passed away from cancer. Tiffany and I grew up together. She lived across Ed the street from me.
@@sta7o I’m so sorry to hear that 🙏🏾
You know Ricki pitched this idea from her own real life history w her weight fluctuations through the years
A lot of episodes are her just projecting her own issues.
@@freshh_toastWhich is real like real sh#%! As weird as it is.. it’s a thing. Good stuff❤️ I appreciate her for that.
How do we know tht? .. u know producers come up with more ideas then the host ..
Her weight fluctuations were quite extreme. I mean here she looks as thin as I ever remembered her looking.
This show brings back wonderful childhood memories.
Dianne I'd refuse to be friends with Vicki until she changed her fringe 😂
I was like girl you look a stern mess 😂
Bangs lol
Not even close to the same color as the rest of her hair either!
My best club friends were big girls. They'd carry my coctail drunk ass out to the car and throw me in the trunk! 😸💀
LOL

Ricki Lake has the grooviest theme show opening 🎵 🎼 🎶 love the drums and that funky bass guitar! 🎸
Thanks for the upload @dmoney934. That Vicky lady is projecting her self hate on Diane. Diane seems like a sweetheart
These shows are from a better time in my life.
Me too .love the 90s
40:18 lmao that transition effect made me think something was falling off the shelf and about to hit that lady
Unconditional love is reserved for yourself only.
Shouldn't be that way though
How beautiful is Ricki!😘😘😍
The french roll had the girlies in a chokehold 😂

I know "Niki" wasn't talking about her friend "Tiffany", Niki's hairstyle alone was 350 ibs #TheeAudacity
What does someone's weight have to do with being a friend? That person is not a real friend!
"she thinks shes got it going on at the beach and she dont" Ummmm YOU dont....TF? She was a whole hater
Maybe if they had a drug problem or a kleptomaniac, even a manipulator would be a good reason to end a friendship. This is just stupid.
Projection and insecurity on the part of the less heavy friend
gotta say, I love watching shows like Ricki’s with the politically incorrect titles 🤣🤣🤣
thank YOU, Denzel
That black dude is not fat. He's not a good friend
Sooo, it's ok, shes only your friend, behind closed doors😑
you should be someone’s friend no matter the size
if you are not there to support then leave period
I fight the battle of fatness everyday
I think the skinner woman are very insecure and somewhat jealous ,,,its one thing to help your friend find ways to loose weight ,,and its another to be rude and down your friend and have a ultimatum ,,thats just plain wrong
Omg so rude.. I had two big friends n high school n we still friends today.
you should respect people through thick and thin
34..she looks older. And vicki aint that light in the hips either.

The weight should not matter it’s what in the heart u should not just the weight
