S07.E16: Lashanta's Story LIVE CHAT

[fonfereksglen]

I feel very deflated.  Like I often feel watching Intervention.

I don't know what to think.

Gallery...for a girl. That is unfortunate.

Yup it sure is.  I'm quite vexed by these names nowadays.

"I'll have a half pepperoni and half sausage."

That's practically a diet pizza.

And what's with the chicken preparing, make-up putting on gloves to eat pizza?

[suev33 3]

Ugh....my hope for her is fading faaaast.....

[Concerned]

The pizza, are you for real?

[Gaffa]

I need some grease!! And now we get to see behind the baby-voiced mask.

[Suzywriter]

Eating gloves? 

[poeticlicensed]

Why is she wearing gloves to eat pizza??

[88Keys]

Guys, I think I know how to get her to walk.  Buy a pizza and set it about 10 feet from her bed.  Watch how fast she gets up.  

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

What the fuck is up with the gloves while eating?!?!?!?

[mmecorday]

If you eat pizza while wearing food prep gloves, the calories don't count.

[MrsRopersCaftan]

Baby Voice, “Can I have me uh peppawoni pizza?”

It sounded like a three year old was calling in an order.

Also, I smell a big, FAT weight gain.

[DropTheSoap]

Poor kid. He knows mom's picking the pizza over him.

[Splashes]

Shes eating wearing nitrile gloves? Why?

[MsVixen]

You are being filmed and you order pizza????  

[Uuuugghh]

More gloves because she can’t wash. Yikes

I need some grease...my new handle!

But not on my hands!  So prissy!  Hahahahaha

Seriously, what is up with the random usage of rubber gloves??!

[DC Gal in VA]

Oh Dr. Lola, the way I was raised, shame is not always a negative emotion you must get rid of. There is such a thing as a helpful and positive amount of shame to help you own what you did wrong, learn from it, and move the fuck on!

Really hate the politically correct psychobabble bullshit I keep hearing these days.

[DEG9]

I predict this is going to end with her being booted by Dr. Now. A first, but she's definitely not sticking with the program, and she's wasting everyone's time.

Oh, and that was only 2 or 3 pieces of pizza? SMDH

[Kid]

I’m feeling really sorry for her kids. Her son needs to tell her if she wants that pizza she needs to get up and go to the door and get it! 

[gardendiva]

She probably thinks Dr. Now is going to dust the pizza box for prints.

[Hellga]

That doesn't even look like a good pizza.  And she ate almost all of it!

I feel for the kid.  He tried.  He washed his hands.  At 12, he can't outfight her.  

[DropTheSoap]

Maybe she thinks the gloves will lessen the need for washing.

It has to be her version of sanitizing. Kinda like how she was dipping her fingers in that bottle of rubbing alcohol earlier. 

[Wanda]

gloves are probably because she doesn’t wash. It’s her way of maintaining “hygiene”

[mmecorday]

Otezla, it's not a cream -- it's a pill that has a billion terrible side effects.

[WonderWuman73]

Grease is the word. She's chickened, saladed, fished...out!!! That's not 2 or 3 slices.. I need some Grease.

I’m perplexed by the wearing of the gloves for random activities.

Yeah, why is she eating with the gloves on? I mean, I guess it’s to keep her hands cleaner since she can’t get up and wash in a SINK. They do make handy wipes. Eh.

I'm thinking  if she gets grease on her fingers she has no way to get up and wash her hands.

It probably has to do with her hygiene, or lack thereof.

having to wipe your own butt can lead to some … nevermind.

[Concerned]

The gloves are needed because you don’t want to know where her hands and fingers have been since she last washed.

So she doesn't have to wash her hands?  She can't exactly get to the faucet.

She doesn’t have any eating pants.

I felt bad for him really. He just seemed...sad. 

[Viqutorious]

Has there been a successful person shown recently?  It seems like a lot of hardcore cases this season.

[Twopper]

Why does she wear gloves to eat?    I guess because she can't get up to wash her hands.  I like pizza, and I know it's greasy, but I will never ever say when talking about pizza "I want some grease."  And so much for eating 2-3 slices of it.  I think there were only 2 slices left in the box.

It is 9:30 and they went to break playing music of doom.

Rolls over, it's time fer my ass wiping and third pizza.

I totally understand what you mean, but I think Lola took a gamble that giving Lashanta unconditional positive regard would help more than hurt. After Mom saying she didn't want no fat-ass daughter (or whatever it was), some unconditional positive regard might have helped. I think Lola bet wrong, but I see why she did it.

She doesn’t have any pants. Full stop.

[ams1001]

This Wells Fargo commercial with the dogs is making me sad. Poor pup; I just want to give her a hug.

[sainte-chapelle]

With the gloves she can tell Dr Now that technically she didn't touch the pizza 

[Callaphera]

I can't judge her for "I want some grease." I say that whenever I have a hangover, because the best cure is a Whopper with cheese, onion rings, and a chocolate shake.

Amen!!!  This piece of work needs to feel shame.    And I don’t believe she feels any shame whatsoever. Because if she did, she would be changing her ways with regard to her other children.
