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.
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.
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!
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 👌🏼🥰💯📺📽️💫,🧧🎎🐉✨✨🎇📰📰📰
She was she had a very tough childhood but she was a very sweet girl. I gave her a talk about dumping her pump cause no one needs assholes like that in their life
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.
It’s called having standards and not being nasty. You wouldn’t marry or be with long term partners with a woman who’s had more turns than a door knob would you? 🤮
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.
@@Raztiana she thought she was in the right, hell, the audience and prolly home viewers, thought she was in the right. We always need to extend grace to others because we’ve all needed grace extended to us.
@@perfectlyimperfect9129, there may be other ways to earn money, but not one that gives them time to see their children and get an education at the same time. It's not their fault that their country's system is a faliure, but they have to live with it. They do, and they do it without hurting anyone. Also, you do know that no mono-theistic religion has karma included in it's lore, right?
Is it? We’re real conditioned over certain things. The biggest killer is probably alcoholism over anything else. That’s legal, more accessible and more people are hooked and dying on that where you can find an off license (liquor store) on every corner of a poor neighbourhood. Supermarkets sell all sorts of alcohol and pubs and clubs and all sorts of bars. That’s most dangerous.
That was sad. She told me her story and it was a typical case of adults letting her down and preying on her. I hope her life turned out well. She was very sweet.
The woman in purple is too loud and obnoxious. The woman saying prostitution ruined her marriage is fooling herself. Infidelity ruined her marriage. I agree with the black male escort; if everything is going great in your marriage, your partner wouldn't be going to escorts.
All these women laughing and hypocritically claiming prostitution is an excuse not to work as if $425 isn't two weeks' worth of work for a lot of people (if not less) at this time. Not only that but prostitutes do not "lose marketability", or get "worn out". There are women in that profession who are pushing 90, get so fucking real. Being concerned for their safety and well-being does not include judging them for working the broken system. A large percentage of sexual activity is violent in nature, but it doesn't mean we need to shame people for making their living wtf. And as a side note, acting like regulated prostitution isn't viable is simply a lack of logic.
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.
That is often true but honestly there were many high end call girls that did a lot of coke back then. I knew several that also worked for Heidi Fkeuss and wanted me to come to LA to work for her because they got a finders fee. I was hell no. Coked out Hollywood types were not my cup of tea. Does smoking make weed count though? Cause smoked a lot of weed and was fairly addicted to going to concerts and festivals at the time
It was for awhile but then she started doing the same thing as Jerry Soringer. I worked at a club dancing after I quit sex work and they would have flyers in the dressing room for all the shows here included and they topics were mostly unrelated to anything dancing or sex work.
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
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.
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… 😂
"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
The woman in purple is too loud and obnoxious. The woman saying prostitution ruined her marriage is fooling herself. Infidelity ruined her marriage. I agree with the black male escort; if everything is going great in your marriage, your partner wouldn't be going to escorts.
The one who started at 14 doesn't realize she was trafficked. Of course society didn't see it like that back then.😢
Exactly right and very sad .
You are not the only one who noticed that. 14 is not an adult.

Ricki's viewers were even higher than Oprah's at one time.
They tackled subjects that needed to be tackled at that time. Ground breaking 💯
Yea but she went full Jerry Springer after this
Keep the Ricky Lake episodes coming please 🙏
Your cat ❤
Thank you for posting Ricki with commercials!! I love this. It gives me nostalgia!!
Man, some of these commercials😂😂😂#nostalgia
Best part!
Right 👏
Wow, people had morals back then. The audience are not having it. In 2024, there would be no show.
There have been shows just like it now in 2024
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.
I understand why she did though.
She gave him Herpies and god only knows how many other men!

The one girl said… they want me. they choose me. Very interesting statement.
She is lacking acceptance in her childhood more than likely 💔
Some y'all projecting and it really shows lol
She was she had a very tough childhood but she was a very sweet girl. I gave her a talk about dumping her pump cause no one needs assholes like that in their life
You could see the dudes in the crowd nodding in agreement
This was in 1994. I wonder where these people are today.
Yeah that part
That was my first thought too. I have a really bad feeling about the 14 year old. She seems horribly misguided, uneducated, and reckless. 😢
@@sarahrupert5320she was 18 but still, too young for such an intense life
@@sarahrupert5320 30 years later I hope she change her life
I googles the former prostitute Rhaynetta.....she died in 1996.
Oh how i love the scandalous title of the show...followed by light heartedly music 😂
I’m home sick and I’m loving watching Ricki Lake.❤
These commercials are so nostalgic 😂😂❤
I don’t know why or how I got recommended Ricki Lake but I love it.
❤
RICKI LAKE TALK SHOW: 90’s:
Ricki Lake has the grooviest theme show opening 🎵 🎼 🎶 love the drums and that funky bass guitar!
Always when I see people in old videos, I wonder how they are now. I wish to see what their lives have become
I love that you keep the commercials in!
People were so fly back in the day
"Diane" looks like Dakota Johnson! Holy!
Actually it was Demi Moore back then😂!
Watching these 90 commercials makes me realize how we were programmed to accept how life has become to be 30 years later..
so grateful to see this with commercials too. ❤
I don't know why the audience is so hostile towards the escorts. It's their business if they want to be escorts.
Exactly
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😢

IKR! People legit sell their body to produce babys called surrogacy!
It’s called having standards and not being nasty. You wouldn’t marry or be with long term partners with a woman who’s had more turns than a door knob would you? 🤮
There was a man on this show that did it to pay his wife’s medical bills and he was an awesome human being

EXACTLY…it was a different time so I forgive her for being so confident and so annoyingly wrong
@@Citizen_Krang, "a different time" should never be an excuse for bad behaviour.
@@Raztiana she thought she was in the right, hell, the audience and prolly home viewers, thought she was in the right. We always need to extend grace to others because we’ve all needed grace extended to us.
That's your opinion and there are other ways to make $ and support your kids and respect yourself ! God and Karma are always watching

Not her calling blk men cheap in 1994. Rhaynettaaaaaaa, they still are baby! R.i.p to Rhaynetta❤
The first one lookes like Demi Moore.
True!
Incredibly I thought it was her or her twin
That’s funny, cause I got told that all the time .
I think she’s actually prettier. 😊
But I’d be interested to know if she ever got that degree and what she’s doing now.
Well this hasn't aged well for the nay sayers 😂.. 2024, and their daughters are probably on OF 😑 lol
Yes!
🫤
Well I had a son and he is awesome and has an IQ in the top 3%. He also has a great relationship and loads of respect for women.
@@leannboser3128 Good for him. Not sure what that has to do with the point..
@@Morgan_Layfay it was in response to the “their daughters are probably on only fans now comment” btw I am Diane so it was relevant.
If these women want to be ladies of the evening; that's their business. Drug dealing is worse. .

14.?grow up All your tricks should have been arrested. 14 is underage.
That was sad. She told me her story and it was a typical case of adults letting her down and preying on her. I hope her life turned out well. She was very sweet.
The amount of judgment here is craaaazy.
Yeah cuz most of us were raised to respect ourselves and our bodies!
@@perfectlyimperfect9129 thanks for proving my point.
@@stephaniek2018what point? That it’s ok to be whoring around?
@@perfectlyimperfect9129I know right?!
Degradation is when someone makes you do things against your wishes. This women are putting themselves in this positions
If these women want to be ladies of the evening; that's their business. Drug dealing is worse.
Can you post ricki lake show episode please
huh?
I bet if Onlyfans was around during this time...they would have accounts.

Thanks for uploading, but this audio... It's like listening to a 90's tape recording with 80's headphones.
#nostalgia, lol
Ricki Lake was off the chain
Air date? Or at least just the year. Thankss

See....
There Were 304's in da 90's, too.
Of course I could be completely wrong here but wasn't the Ricki Lake show one of the only 'real' shows with 'real people?'
Jenny jones, sally jesse Raphael, Geraldo, Donahue
@@alixxc8156 ah, we never had all those channels included in our satellite subscription (1990's Britain.)
