This is one of the most powerful videos you have ever shared, Mel. It is so beautiful when people realize their own strength and value. We are so much more than the skin we wear. ♥️

I can't understand why this show isn't coming back. I am still in shock!

[@mollytejana]

Supposedly ratings, but I don't think (no, I know) they didn't give it long enough to grow and survive. I'm going to miss it for sure.

[@victoriar8284]

ugh really???

[@michellejean8068]

I didn't know w she had one. But dont have a TV. But she's great. Ya what a Shame. I found her a few months ago and started doing the high five in the mirror every morning. And it sure works. I've shared it with a few friends and they love it too. Peace.

[@monicaepps2309]

Cousin Donita, you are so beautiful inside and out. You are a very strong and beautiful person.

"What is Coming up for you?" Mel never gonna let you off the hook without getting in to bottom of the real thing.

[@donitafranklin9484]

[@devina1100]

@@donitafranklin9484 Hi Donita! Oh it's lovely to hear from you. Aww no worries. I could relate with your story so much. I too have three grown children and was engaged in two domestic violence interactions in my past also. Listening to you was quite literally like listening to myself. I appreciate you doing this and whilst I'm incredibly sorry for what you went through, I'm glad and happy to know you've found healing. God speed and God bless you sister! I'm from Ireland by the way and it's such a treat to be able to connect with you xx

[@Tam_I_Am_]

That's good stuff!! I really hope she was healed and transformed by that advice!!

[@Kokoawiththatea]

It did help some but I'm still struggling with the body shaming.

[@elizadolots11]

So good! I wish this included the rest of the episode.

[@GwenMotoGirl]

I do, too. I am like her and need to hear more of this. She is beautiful in all ways. ❤️

[@distorbia20]

Donita looks amazing and I think is more in her head

[@Kokoawiththatea]

I have to work on embracing my beauty instead of looking at the flaws...

[@Kokoawiththatea]

Thank you so much.... ;-)

Me over here having another one at 12 when I had one 2 years ago like.

[@cocopersiflage4705]

7:40 ... I wish the audience would stop clapping in approval at her reactive response to her fiancé’s request for pre-marital counseling. She needs individual counseling, as well as pre-marital counseling. His instincts are right.

[@Kokoawiththatea]

You could've kept that comment to yourself. Its obvious that either you don't listen well or truly hard of hearing. Body shaming is my issue, not a man....the ex-fiance has the issue of having a lying tongue sweetie... So how did u come to that awful assumption about me?

[@cocopersiflage4705]

Donita Franklin Lady, you went on NATIONAL TELEVISION to get advice about your life.

[@Kokoawiththatea]

@@cocopersiflage4705 yes I did....about body shaming...body shaming..body shaming! Not about a relationship.

[@cocopersiflage4705]

Donita Franklin BTW, going to a therapist isn’t a bad thing or an insult. I’ve seen an individual therapist and a marriage counselor for years. In fact, I wouldn’t be married for 20+ years if we didn’t see a counselor first. And I STILL need guidance.

[@localone1597]

I really don't get it but guess I'm coming from the man's point of view. Will Smith say's in a video "its not always your fault for the things that other people do to you but it is your responsibility on how you move forward and handle it from there". She's still blaming the guy from years ago for where she is now? When she said the guy she was going to marry wanted to see a marriage counselor I took it as this guy could see this woman has some major issues and they needed to work this out. This woman just automatically took it as well he has the problem. This woman has no business being in a relationship. Fix yourself first!

[@ERNIE555]

Jonathan Collins ...plus she obviously makes poor choices..picking men...

[@donitafranklin9484]

let me tell you something, i am the best thing he could've had and he messed up! he had issues within himself and how dare you speak that way about me! yes, the abuser ruined me physically for the rest of my days and i have to be reminded everyday that i'm inflicted with body pain. how can you judge anyone without knowing the full story? my issues have nothing to do with a relationship asshole! its body shaming! PAY ATTENTION!!

[@annamonroe9138]

Jonathan Collins you don’t get it ..This is my cousin and she was in a abusive relationship..

If you really love someone..you don’t need a fairytale wedding!

if its promised to me from that one who wants to marry me then thats what im gonna have. PERIOD!

[@lucyalexander3607]

Didn't the surgeon tell her to loose weight first before getting the tummy tuck.

[@Kokoawiththatea]

Ummm my weight isn't an issue sweetie...

[@Kokoawiththatea]

I never mentioned anything about my weight...again, folks don't listen....I've maintained my weight before and after the surgery....so please explain your negative or unnecessary comment.
