Yolanda Hadid: My Love, My Lemons, My Lyme Disease.

[Satchels of gold]

As time goes on, we are seeing the world of science (or as JP says, SCIENCE, BITCHES!!!) Is taking us to doors we still have to open.

 

The key is (Pun Intended) how long do we stand in front of that door before we break it down?

 

Money, research and someone who is interested enough to try and find a answer is what we need. Sometimes throwing money at a problem - money buys the GenModded mosquitos being raised to combat Zika  - the labs that do the research and the people who are doing the science?

 

Everyone knows the names of the simpletons that win Best Whatever during the award season, but Fuck science, researchers and the schools. Until we need them?

 

There are people in the United States who don't have insurance and are ill, and the ill with insurance who because of stupid rules, laws, or costs cannot afford to see a specialist to help them.

 

Yo does and have to means to see the best doctors in the land, but instead chooses people with questionable credentials and motives? It does come down to credibility and when you choose to lose that?

Just for you my friend

[phoenix780]

Well, at least Yolanda is a catalyst for discussion about a variety of complicated hard to diagnose illnesses. I think there's some benefit there. I also think there's value in the idea of looking for what makes you feel better. I just wish that general idea was the main message.

I mean, as long as you don't inflict your truth on others, does it really matter if you find health at a doctor or a "doctor"? If it works for you, roll with it, imho.

Point is, I don't think she's evil. Yet. Depends on the book and how wrapped up in things her kids are, imho.

[Mya Stone]

Alright guys, here's the deal. I'm in my last semester of nursing school, and I get FILLED with science and medical terminology ALL DAY LONG.

This is a reality television show. It's not even a medical reality show. Can we all please focus on talking about Yolanda and the show and stop the discussion of Lyme Disease diagnosis/science etc. in general? Talking about Yolanda's treatments is fine but we don't need to continue to debate all other aspects of Lyme Disease.

K? K.

(I giggle because I pretty much just said "Potassium? Potassium. And now I'm thinking about the effects hypokalemia and hyperkalemia have on the cardiac system. Gahhhhhh.)

[Vicky8675309]

Yo is wore than Faye IMO since many of her fans believe what she is saying and many may seek the same "treatments" which are likely dangerous and definitely a burden on finances.

 

Yo is "insane in the membrane" (Cyprus Hill reference)

[DebbieM4]

I agree with you that she's all those things.  But even when I thought she was at her worst - LisaV's vow renewal, hearts on placecards - she was never as mean as Camille her first season, or Brandi or Faye, imo.

 

 

 I disagree.  I think she's been very mean many times.

 

For me, the nonsense with the hearts on placecards was the least of it.  The way she treated Joyce comes to mind as an example of inexcusably horrible behavior.  She openly mocked Joyce repeatedly.  And at the reunion she literally laughed at her and tried to get the others to join in, not to mention actually turning her back on her and physically shutting her out in the most rude, condescending, and awful way possible.  She ridiculed her, and clearly loved doing it.  Over and over and over.  Seeing a grown woman behave like the most bratty bully on the playground sealed the deal for me.  She was pretty awful up to that point, and hasn't done a whole lot to redeem herself since.  She's all about judgment and superiority and little else.  She decides who is and isn't a real friend based totally on how much they do for her.  And if it's not enough, then she becomes critical and condescending.  I'm sorry that she is/was sick, but I just don't think she's a nice person.  

 

Sure, the others have certainly had mean moments, but I don't see how they're worse than Yolanda.  Clearly we disagree!

[lunastartron]

I don't regard Yolanda's idiocy with the name cards or any of her franchise-standard hypocrisy as her worst. For me, that would be her transparent bigotry toward people of Hispanic and Latino/a backgrounds. There really is very little daylight between her propensity to benevolently lecture her domestic contractors about assimilating into acceptably Caucasian linguistic habits and Brandi drunkenly slurring, "speak English, we're not in Miami!" (And at least we can extend Brandi the pseudo-excuse of, "well, she's almost always intoxicated," for her racist outbursts) And her robust and continued defense of Brandi's attacks on Joyce - coupled with the fact that the brown Housewife has been the only cast member she's felt comfortable enough disrespecting to physically box her out - betrays an animus that is actually uglier than her bestie's marginally more explicit epithets in many respects.

 

Physical violence of a non-sexual nature against a woman remains one of the most egregious offenses that a man can commit in many arenas of society. Boldly fabricating an allegation of assault against one of her cast mate's significant others is something that even Brandi - let alone Camille - has never attempted.

 

And promoting non-FDA-approved immunotherapy for minors on social media as well explicitly stating that Lyme is "a silent killer" "more prevalent that AIDS" in the pre-treatment 1980s?

 

Yup, Yo is evil and way more so than Camille or Faye ever thought about being.

Yo's claims tonight about giving a voice to Lyme patients all over the world.....really?  You are a dangerous person.  And so smug in the process...

[ElDosEquis]

The one thing that irks the living eff out of me are the claims of losing percentages of brain power, gaining and losting, then gaining again.

 

If you ever have had a loved one with dementia or AZ you'll realize just how stupid someone sounds when they claim that the lose, then gain, brain function.

 

Here is my contention, a challenge if you will?

IF her cleansing, irrigating her bowels, taking vitamins and shoving needles into her arm and this had given her back her mental and motor skills? Why hasn't she run to a doctor with this discovery? Damn, there are thousands of people that would benefit from some kind of breakthrough like that, why waste it on twattergram  pics and hashtags that don't mean anything?

 

If she doesn't know what a breakthrough she has on her hands, she isn't as smart as she thinks, if she does know what info/cure she has stumbled upon and WON'T tell people? She is pretty FN ruthless and mean?

[ElDosEquis]

Just for you my friend

LOL Thanks, It's not even my Birthday!!!!!

I think it's inhumane and cruel to sell $695.00 eltromagentic radiation detectors to suffering people including parents of children with autism.

You have nailed it. Add to this the exploitation of her own children to gain attention for herself. Exhibit "A" the very carefully posed photo of Bella and herself on the bed with the IV. How Hollywood was that? My God that was evil. That photo was not even posted by Bella on her Instagram, it was intentionally used by Yolanda only.  ( I am still very much bothered by the contents of that email that she sent to Bella regarding the DUI and the state of her car, that should have been a private conversation, not in writing!)

I am beginning to wonder what she is gaining from promoting this whack doctor. Either attention or something else. I am so suspicious of this woman.

I really have to wonder what is going on with Yolanda and her motives.

I am sorry for people who are truly sufferers of Lyme, but in the case of Yolanda, my spidey senses are tingling.

Yo's claims tonight about giving a voice to Lyme patients all over the world.....really?  You are a dangerous person.  And so smug in the process...

I hope that Lyme patients as well as legitimate doctors who legitimately treat Lyme are loudly saying " speak for yourself"!

She will be on Dr Oz this week.

So, Yoyo did not know what cunnilingus was a couple of years ago and last EPI, she had no clue what Münchausen syndrome is?????

For someone of supposedly superior intelligence, she lacks in common vocabulary.

As far as being evil, maybe.

As soon as she profits from her supposed diagnosis, it will be a definite YES.

In anycase, as of now, she is superfluous and boring on this show.

Yes to that ! The "worst" of it, for me, is that "cunnilingus" and "Münchausen" are the common words used everywhere ! It's not like... "stroke", for instancee, who has his own translation in various languages.

Yo , don't tell me your're smart, show me.

That goes for Adrianne on VPR as well, once you tell people how intelligent you are people expect you to use proper grammar ("Tom and I's relationship...") and know know certain words. This is why I always try to interject in any conversation , that I am of average intelligence. It sets the bar low. Lol

[kokapetl]

Münchausen syndrome by proxy is very rare outside of movies, Bella and Anwar are both at least 10 years older than the average victim age of 4 years old, and there's no evidence that supports the claim that Yolanda has knowingly injured her children. Even plain Münchausen syndrome doesn't fit, because it does appear that Yolanda truly believes that she is sick.

Since Yoyo is the most special snowflake out there, she would be that unique person who is able to stretch the syndrome til her kids reach social secuity ages.

That being said, I think that she is just a spoiled hypochodriac, at this moment.

And she revels in her sicknesses, real or imagined.

[Satchels of gold]

That comment about the ladies using their energy to take care of HER was very telling. It goes hand in hand with last years assertion that it is "very important" for the ladies to see where she grew up ( and her NOT 300 sq foot house)I gave her a pass because I thought perhaps it was a subtlety in the language but I really think she believes she is the center of the universe. I beleive Yo really believes that everything that has come her way is because she is special and not because she won the genetic lottery. Rich people don't hear no very often.

[FanOfTheFans]

I don't think Yo has Munchausen. I do think she views her kids as an extension of herself though. I have since season one viewed her as a stage Mom after the episode where Gigi had a photo shoot.

It is interesting to me how she sits high up on this hill figuratively and literally looking down on everyone. Waiting for people to visit and pay homage to her. She picks and chooses her involvement with the show. She whirls into an event and lays down her platitudes and whirls out. Granted she has been sick and this has curtailed filming for her but really she has limited her filming since season one. Back then, it was because she and her true love were always jetting away, now it is her health.

Do I think she has been ill? Yes I do but I don't think that gives her carte blanche to condescend to others and everyone has to walk on eggshells around her. I hope she gets better and returns to her normal life. I don't think she fits in well with an ensemble cast. This woman needs her own show. She craves the spotlight IMO.

When she said "how about helping me?" I couldn't believe how ungrateful she revealed herself to be. She's a very wealthy woman who doesn't need to work ever again, she has domestic staff, she's got Daisy the lymesploiter, she spares no expense on her medical treatment, yet she feels as though people could reasonably be expected to be doing more for her?!

[izabella]

I don't get what she wants people to DO for her.  Bring her fruit baskets she won't eat unless it's full of lemons?  Walk the dog she doesn't have?  Clean David's apartment, which he probably already contracts with a cleaning service to do?  Grocery shopping for groceries she doesn't eat?  Do her laundry - all whites with hot water and bleach?  Those are the kinds of things friends can do to help a sick friend, but Yo doesn't need anyone to do that. 

 

If she means come over with an extra latte and gossip, she needs "real" friends for that, not Hollywood friends, and she's been clear that these Ho's are just Hollywood friends.  Except for Brandi who brought her one cup of coffee once during the 9, 11, 18 months she wasn't walking.

I honestly despise Yolanda the more and more she harps on this made up shit. It honestly bothers me that she thinks she's believable in any sense. 

 

She's so full of it too when she claims that she's okay with the women talking about her but not her kids. So many of her issues this season are about people doubting her specifically.

The table becomes quiet and then from the back of the room enters Meghan King Edmonds.

 

Edmonds is in her element and is prepared to do some sleuthing. She's doffed a deerstalker hat, pipe and magnifying glass in one hand.

 

"I am here to check the paper and to see what folly you have brought to us today!!!!!"

She posted a new pic of her new haircut. . .    https://www.instagram.com/p/BBVpAsOIs2O/?taken-by=yolandahfoster

Those look like some brand new highlights to me and the roots don't seem as apparent!!  Especially when you compare it to the pic she posted wanted to know what to do with her hair.  

 

Wait maybe one of her friends came over to "HELP" her and happened to have some organic hair color.

Now it makes sense why LisaV pointed out that she HAD reached out to Yolanda in episode 1. LisaR said that she tried to meet with Yolanda before the explant surgery but Yolanda would NOT meet with her. Yolanda, IMO, doesn't want to meet with any cast member except for Erika unless cameras are present and rolling and only when she can guarantee SHE gets all the sympathy.  JMO

Lisa didn't say anything about Mo. She said he told her that Yolanda had Lyme Disease and the kids are fine. There is nothing chickenshit about declining to look at the personal medical records of children that aren't hers, IMO. In fact I think it shows a sense of propriety that is extremely rare for reality show participants.

 

No one has demanded that Yolanda prove anything - with the possible exception of certain members of the audience. Yolanda is grandstanding for the benefit of her own story line. I'll wait to see how it plays out, but right now, I think it is smart of Lisa not to indulge Yolanda's nonsense. If she is too sick to show up and do her job, she shouldn't rely on the other HW's to push her claims to the forefront as she bombards the audience with her "journey of suffering" while her children "suffer in silence" for the sake of supporting her. 

 

Even her blog is insufferable. She starts out rhapsodizing about how Gigi and Bella as extensions of her are walking the runways in Europe. She can't even just brag about how well her children are doing without making it about her. 

 

I really wish that the other women had just not ever talked about Yolanda unless she was there to be filmed. Yolanda would have lost her freaking mind realizing that she was about as relevant to them as Brandi is. She would never have stood for it and would have started showing up to events just so that she could be a topic of conversation. I wonder if she would have started showing up in stained clothes on top of not wearing makeup, just to get on their radar as a topic of conversation so that Ericka could report back to her about what was said. 

 

As it is, BRAVO is having to work double time to keep Yolanda relevant with the other women. Imagine if the other women hadn't even given BRAVO the few snippets of conversation that they have had to cobble together to force this as a real story line for her. She may have actually been demoted to friend of if the others hadn't taken the bait. 

 

ETA: Bitch eating crackers, indeed.

I don't regard Yolanda's idiocy with the name cards or any of her franchise-standard hypocrisy as her worst.

There really is very little daylight between her propensity to benevolently lecture her domestic contractors about assimilating into acceptably Caucasian linguistic habits and Brandi drunkenly slurring, "speak English, we're not in Miami!" (And at least we can extend Brandi the pseudo-excuse of, "well, she's almost always intoxicated," for her racist outbursts) And her robust and continued defense of Brandi's attacks on Joyce - coupled with the fact that the brown Housewife has been the only cast member she's felt comfortable enough disrespecting to physically box her out - betrays an animus that is actually uglier than her bestie's marginally more explicit epithets in many respects.

Excellent post!   I had forgotten some of the very good points that you brought up.  Your assessment is right on target.

That being said, I think that she is just a spoiled hypochodriac, at this moment.

I think she's a spoiled hypochondriac too.  Whether it's Munchausen or not is of little significance to me, although I do think it's probably a combination of both.  I don't know what she does or does not truly believe, but absolutely there is deliberate manipulation going on.  Either way, I don't care.  I just want her off my TV.

 

When she said "how about helping me?" I couldn't believe how ungrateful she revealed herself to be. She's a very wealthy woman who doesn't need to work ever again, she has domestic staff, she's got Daisy the lymesploiter, she spares no expense on her medical treatment, yet she feels as though people could reasonably be expected to be doing more for her?!

 

And that's why I think her marriage to David did not last.  Maybe her marriage to Mohammed too.  She really does have very, very high expectations of other people.  You're right - She is ungrateful.  Even the women on this show who have been kind to her have to prove themselves over and over again.  She keeps close tabs on who calls, who visits, who texts, and then she decides if it's often enough.  (I would think that someone with Lyme brain wouldn't be even attempting to fill that brain with such judgmental nonsense!)

 

Being her husband must have been incredibly exhausting.  As also, I imagine, being her child.  I really do feel for those kids.  She loves them, no doubt, but she's a very high-maintenance person and that can be hell when that person is your mother.  (Ask my kids!  They know!  Just kidding.  Kind of.........)

The women are in such a bind with Yolanda because it is clear she is genuinely sick, so it prevents them from saying what everyone knows is the truth: "Yes, you are sick, but you are also crazy and getting as much weird mileage out of this as possible - you're using your sickness to get even more self-righteous than usual and none of us can say anything against you because then we're the asshole calling out a sick person." I mean, that is basically what Lisa Rinna, LVP and Kyle all want to say. But the fact of Yolanda's illness has their feet over the fire.

 

I do love that Yolanda brings out the records the second the diagnosis is called into question - see, Brooks, that is what you do when you're actually sick and people accuse you of not being sick.

I blame Aviva for starting this whole reveal of medical records. Oh good times, NOT. I would not look at someone else's records. No way. Lisa needs to just cut her losses and issue an apology and say she misunderstood or something along those lines to politely back out. Yo has them all over a barrel and no one is walking away unscathed if they comment on her illness or her kids illness. Yo is sitting pretty good in that regards by her own design.

Regarding her new hairstyle, it looks good. It is hard to carry off super short hair and she has the bone structure to do it.

[breezy424]

God, with all her 'weekly' treatments, I wonder what her total treatment bills are a year.  I say treatment because what she does is not 'medical'.  No wonder she and David called it quits.  It's too bad she doesn't add a Psychiatrist to the list of her 'weekly's' because she needs one quite badly. 

 

If many of us find it exhausting to watch her for a limited time on the show, can you imagine what it must be like to live with or be her family? 

[lunastartron]

Declining to look is chickenshit after what Lisa said about Mo - maybe they'll show it next week.

Yolanda didn't need to watch a replay of the altercation in which Ken supposedly brutally manhandled her.

Nor look at a calendar when declaring that she had been unable to leave her bed for a year and a half.

Nor consider her cast mate's philanthropic initiatives when writing that she was the "only Housewife across the entire franchise . . . not motivated just by money in my pocket."

Nor research statistics on HIV transmission rates when waxing authoritative on the subject.

 

Don't see why Lisa needs to look at medical reports after accurately reporting the diction that Mohammed employed - especially since he concurred with her account of the pivotal word but simply differed on the interpretation.

But Brooks did provide medical documentation which illustrates, from my perspective, that the inherent legitimacy of a manila envelope with some medical terminology inside is negligible.

 

I'm kind of disappointed that Lisa didn't peruse the contents because there's now no way of knowing what the proof constitutes - lab reports from Dr. Klinghardt - a notarized written assurance that Bella and Anwar's bedrooms were located too close to a microwave, perhaps? Or an STD panel that conclusively established the presence of Lyme?

 

Although the longing for Megan PI's detective skills here are appropriate, I'd actually like for Tamra Barney to accompany Mrs. Edmonds to the season 6 Beverly Hills reunion because we know that Tams has no compunction about going full-scorched earth on, well, anyone and isn't shy about breaking out the documentation when on one of the couches (anyone remember the e-mails and photographs she pulled out in years past?).

Let's face it, Yo had something, and absolutely went full on - nonstop - into it.  She LOVES the attention and sympathy she's getting from all the people at her various treatments.  They are paid to be nice, that doesn't mean they don't think she's full of it.  If you paid me to hook her up to an IV once/twice a week, damn I can be nice!   They tell her what she wants to hear, not necessarily the truth.  

 

Over the years I have had many friends/family, who have gone through various illnesses, and I've always asked questions.  It's natural to want to understand what's going on.  But, Yo doesn't want questions, she expects everyone to just accept what she says as fact, despite all the discrepancies.  She wants people to tell her she's brave, she's a warrior, to pander to her self perceived tragedies.  And, when they dare ask a question, offer another alternative, she immediately goes on the attack.  She wants to be the Martha Stewart of Lyme - but it seems bottom line her boobs betrayed her, and age/menopause have hit - and that she can't deal with.  That seems to attack her vanity.  She's resents the women she films with for not being there for her.  But, they are not her friends, they are just people she films with occasionally - nothing more.  And, they are nothing more to her.   If she went for years without seeing Eileen or Lisa R it would never cross her mind to call them.  This is her story line - and it's getting pathetic.

I would have opened the manila envelope presented to Lisa.  Sorry but if you've put it out there, I would look at it.  And I would have looked to see if a Lyme titer test was done.

 

And this is not meant to be a question of people out there with Lyme.  Yes, I know Lyme tests are not always accurate and there are people who have the disease but are not testing positive.  It's about Yo's using of Lyme.

So many great posts that I worried about running out of thumbs up! 

 

The one thing that irks the living eff out of me are the claims of losing percentages of brain power, gaining and losting, then gaining again.

 

If you ever have had a loved one with dementia or AZ you'll realize just how stupid someone sounds when they claim that the lose, then gain, brain function.

 

Here is my contention, a challenge if you will?

IF her cleansing, irrigating her bowels, taking vitamins and shoving needles into her arm and this had given her back her mental and motor skills? Why hasn't she run to a doctor with this discovery? Damn, there are thousands of people that would benefit from some kind of breakthrough like that, why waste it on twattergram  pics and hashtags that don't mean anything?

 

If she doesn't know what a breakthrough she has on her hands, she isn't as smart as she thinks, if she does know what info/cure she has stumbled upon and WON'T tell people? She is pretty FN ruthless and mean?

 

agree! She doesn't run to a doctor with this discovery because because she hasn't found a breakthrough and if she thought she did then a legitimate doctor would have cleared that up for her (she doesn't like being told she is wrong). In the latter case, she would save the "breakthrough" for the Lifestyle show she is STILL trying to get. Face it, she is cray cray.

 

She will be on Dr. Oz this week 
So, Yoyo did not know what cunnilingus was a couple of years ago and last EPI, she had no clue what Münchausen syndrome is?????
For someone of supposedly superior intelligence, she lacks in common vocabulary.
As far as being evil, maybe.
As soon as she profits from her supposed diagnosis, it will be a definite YES.
In anycase, as of now, she is superfluous and boring on this show.

 

This is why I think YoWoe is a public health threat (seriously, a menace to society). People will watch this and many will believe the misinformation she spews and the quackery she endorses. This really angers me. Patients with Lyme Disease should also get upset, not only for the aforementioned reasons but because legitimate doctors are not going to want to treat patients coming into clinic claiming to have chronic lyme and requesting quackery treatment (trust me on this). They will try to reeducate them and treat them as recommended by guidelines (and data from respected articles/research) but depending on how brainwashed they are by YoWoe this may lead to dissolution of the doctor patient relationship. Actually most would turf them to an ID specialist to deal with...

 

Münchausen syndrome by proxy is very rare outside of movies, Bella and Anwar are both ​at least 10 years older than the average victim age of f4 years old, and there's no evidence that supports the claim that Yolanda has knowingly injured her children. Even plain Münchausen syndrome doesn't fit, because it does appear that Yolanda truly believes that she is sick. 

 

One study had 77% as 5 years old or younger but that means the rest were older (the age range in the article went up to 16 years of age). Yes, it is very rarely diagnosed. To play devil's advocate--it may be under diagnosed but I doubt that is a significant number. True--there is no evidence to support the claim that Yolanda has knowingly injured her children. I do question the supplements but I don't know what she is giving them and if there is any potential harm with them but I don't think she is knowingly hurting them. I don't see how we can know what Yolanda truly believes. I do think she loves the sick role.

 

 

For the quote below, the bolded part is from me:

 

Yolanda didn't need to watch a replay of the altercation in which Ken supposedly brutally manhandled her.

Nor look at a calendar when declaring that she had been unable to leave her bed for a year and a half.

Nor consider her cast mate's philanthropic initiatives when writing that she was the "only Housewife across the entire franchise . . . not motivated just by money in my pocket."

Nor research statistics on HIV transmission rates when waxing authoritative on the subject.

 

Don't see why Lisa needs to look at medical reports after accurately reporting the diction that Mohammed employed - especially since he concurred with her account of the pivotal word but simply differed on the interpretation.

 

 

But Brooks did provide medical documentation which illustrates, from my perspective, that the inherent legitimacy of a manila envelope with some medical terminology inside is negligible. So true! It could be fake medical documents or "legitimate documents from her quack "doctor" who has labs where everything tests positive for Lyme. I don't think the average viewer watching the show knows about this so likely they are going to believe Yolanda which is one of my big concerns about her being a public health threat (people are going to listen to her and believe her)

yes, we need Megan and Tamra on the case!

 

brilliant post--I put my comments in bold in the post of yours I quoted above

The problem that I see, is that even had Lisa looked at it, I don't know she would understand what she was looking at or for. Like what type of test was done and, MOST IMPORTANT IMO, where was the test done? Was it a reputable lab and/or a reputable Dr.? JMO

They are probably results from a lab associated with Dr. Klingon where everything tests positive for Lyme (all autism patients, all parkinson's patients, all cancer patients that he tested came back positive for Lyme). Maybe if they went to Quest Diagnostic Lab or Labcorp or some other mainstream lab then I would believe them.

 

Yolanda was the ones who brought her children into this so she shouldn't take umbrage that they are being discussed. I wonder if a strict diet of a few almonds a day while growing up contributed to Bella's drunk driving charge. You shouldn't drink alcohol if you haven't had more than a few almonds to eat in years....not that drunk driving or starving children is funny...but this is Yo so it's so whacky it is laughable and laughter is the best medicine.

But, BUT! YoFo's kids are the exception! Her kids are not like other kids. She has the BEST kids ever. They are not your average kids. This is just like her having the worst of everything. The WORST pain, the WORST case of LD, the WORST case of silicone spilling out of her fake titties.

 

With all the crap she ingests to detoxify herself, I imagine she has the WORST case of the Hershey squirts all damn day.

 

MS by Proxy goes undetected and therefore, is under-reported. 

 

 

LOL, if she copped to going thru 'the change' She's still have 13 letters worth of diseases in the Taber's to go thru? That Zika virus is the best candidate for the 'z' category?

And, when she runs out of all of those diseases, she can then go have a sex change and then claim male-specific diseases such as prostate cancer.

 

She posted a new pic of her new haircut. . .    https://www.instagram.com/p/BBVpAsOIs2O/?taken-by=yolandahfoster

Those look like some brand new highlights to me and the roots don't seem as apparent!!  Especially when you compare it to the pic she posted wanted to know what to do with her hair.  

 

Wait maybe one of her friends came over to "HELP" her and happened to have some organic hair color.

They put all their urine in jars and squeezed in some lemon juice.
