@@anastasiathehiphopfairy I was actually an audience member in the later years of an episode of the Maury show. The episode was for a paternity test. They didn’t tell us to cuss or yell. Before they start filming, someone would give the audience a pep talk and they instructed us that there would be a sign that would be our queue to react at certain points in the episode. They said to just boo or clap when they would give us the sign.

YES EXACTLY, no 7 year old is going to be saying things like the 7 year olds in this video unless they’ve been abused or exposed to sexual activity, not to mention how the teen girls blatantly expose how they’ve had sex with GROWN ASS MEN and the first thing Maury does is blame the girls.

Her story is obviously something she saw in a dream or a scary movie and has remembered incorrectly likely because she's was so young. Also, if this happened so young and began at such a young age her parents had an obligation to expose her to that stimuli so she could be a functioning adult. Her situation is really bizarre.

I feel like those kids were COACHED. No kids are that vulgar or have that big of a grasp of vocabulary to even know what half the words they were saying meant. We know how kids are, they see older people laughing/enjoying what they are doing and enjoy the attention so they do it more and end up taking it too far. But it's really not their fault it's the people that were/are around them, allowing for that behavior to continue. Also how would they get the "sexy" clothes if the PARENTS WERENT BUYING THEM? I know when i was a kid my mother bought all my clothes up until middle school and even then if i wanted something "risky" i wouldn't have know how to get it bc my mother would shop with me until junior year. Like how are these kids getting the clothes? especially since they fit them normally, so it couldn't be older sibling etc. It's such a gross thought that the directors might have made them dress that way on top of coaching them, and traumatizing them. I wonder what they think ab it now bc they would be adults now, maybe a Danielle Bregoli situation?.

I don’t understand how the industry gets away with it. There’s no power for anyone to do anything but lots of us already agree with your points and want to speak. Like Dr. Phil, these places aren’t safe and manipulate the people they have to look like characters and exaggerate their faults. I believe the young girl who says she feels like 17 was probably conditioned, or scripted behind the scenes. I cannot imagine the coercion these kids must go through to end up in front of a live audience and millions of viewers to be publicly embarrassed in a way that doesn’t go away over time, and it’s not setting a good example or helping the audience. The domestic abuse segment was glorified on television instead of being redirected to the police or real councillors that could help them separate. I used to watch these shows as a kid but I didn’t realize that they were being deprived of resources that would actually help on a show that profits off of the pain. Again, it was never helping anyone.

It's the way he said "you won't let go of my hand" shortly before "bring out the olives" that really makes it hard not to laugh imo He knew she'd let go and the hilarity comes from the absurdity of him using olives to get her to. But she was clearly traumatized from her grandfather's death at a young age, that drives home how wrong that is. Her image of what happened not being real doesn't change it- this is a traumatic response from childhood and he's saying to bring out the olives like she's about to do a trick with em something. I wonder how he sleeps at night. Probably fine cuz he's clearly still making money this way but I winder if he ever fully say what he was doing and seriously considered stopping. Like was he too tempted by the profits or was he heartless trash the whole time?

And the fact that like at least 95% of those cases went home without a solution to their problems is crazy. Granted, all those people signed up for the show, and gave the show rights to use their content however they saw it benefited them the best; but wow dude, some people REALLY went there as a last attempt to fix their situations and it most likely made a lot of shit worse for those victims who were actually going through it… seeing those cases especially like the guy yelling at the lady to sit on the floor like a dog-makes me feel so aggressive and angry, that it makes me want to react with anger????? Like the way he treats his lady so poorly, makes me want to hunt him down and make him bleed so badly he never takes another breath???? And I don’t like that BECAUSE I DONT EVEN KNOW THESE PEOPLE???

I can also add that as someone with an irrational fear that people frequently laugh at and minimize (driving), someone forcing me to drive (even if it's as small as putting my hand on the wheel or gear shift while they are driving) sends me into serious panic attacks

My friend went to a live tapping. A lot of this is fact and written scripts. The staff does stuff to get the audience roudy

[@princess_ama]

The clips with the little girls are so disgusting and disturbing. If a child is exhibiting very sexualized behavior at such a young age, nine times out of ten they were sexually abused (which includes being repeatedly exposed to pornographic material). These girls, and so many of the other “bad” kids on this show, needed a therapist rather than being shamed on TV.

Im sorry but the entire point of this video was lost on me cause i was weak the whole time. Lord forgive me 😪😂

[@Anavaeebaee]

Not gonna lie I did too cuz these kids really think they’re “bad” 😂

[@karenburns1816]

Ngl I got a good key key out of it. I’m ashamed 🫣😂

[@larissabrglum3856]

​@@farmhouseonthemountain I don't believe most of it is real, either. Still, I have a problem with coaching children to act in such a vulgar and hypersexual manner, and also the way the narratives were framed.

[@aniyamarie8370]

Honestly, you can tell what the guests financial situation is like on these “talk shows”. Receiving any sort of medical help has always been costly for the average American. Most of these guests have been so damaged by their situations, they jump at the first opportunity to get help. And that opportunity could be “free therapy” with hosts like Maury and Dr. Phil. They don’t see that these hosts aren’t there to actually help them. They also don’t recognize these hosts aren’t specialized to care for them like a professional should.

[@itssoulfr836]

its clearly all scripted, the kids sound like their teacher asked them to read out to the class.

[@NayaBarcelona]

I refuse to believe this show is real. 😂 I went to a live screening and as soon as I saw them hold up cue cards to tell the audience when to clap, boo, and say “awww”, I already knew ain’t no way! Highly entertaining though.

I was on the Jenny Jones show back in 2001 and while I was standing behind the stage waiting to go out on the stage, her people were telling me to go out there screaming “ Y’all don’t know me”!!! and to act extra. I told her I couldn’t do that.. lol.. I literally walked out as fast as I could and sat down. I wasn’t having no part of looking like a damn fool. I was on the episode “ Cheating Husbands “. Where my husband and a few others took a lie detector test. Yep.. he was cheating. They paid for our hotel stay for 3 days, our flights and gave us a $350 stipend at the hotel to eat. They also gave us $100 each for missing work.

[@urmamasmamasmama]

how did you feel when you got the results? how did you feel having your private business in tv? idk I feel like I would need the cops to come home with me and my man if I just found out he was cheating on me

[@keniagarcia2237]

Congratulations on 100k!! I recently discovered your channel & I stay binging on your channel! You talk about such important topics. Congratulations again!

[@dannydeveato2106]

It’s blantly obvious that the people on this show are actors. No abuser will admit openly and brag that they are abusive, especially on national TV. However, I think this still problematic because people may develop the misconception that all abusers are like that. This is exactly why accurate protrayals of abusive relationships are important. Over the top, almost comical protrayals of abusive situations, like the ones on Maury, are not helping anyone and are disrespectful to people who are actually in abusive situations.

[@THEMOVIEBAE]

Now I used to love the out of control TEENS episode because I would be like “at least I’m. It this bad” but I HAVE NEVER SEEN this little kid version. I would’ve stopped watching this show ASAP AND as a now 30y/o …this was a problem

[@headintheclouds9090]

the phobias one quite literally broke my heart- these people seem genuinely afraid of their phobias, and their fear is just used for entertainment purposes.

[@gabrielladidomenico3149]

i lost it when you accidentally said donald trump🤣🤣

[@Nitrosart]

Are u gonna do jerry springer next ?

[@jessicajanene2001]

i grew up watching maury as a kid but now that i’m older, the show is terrible and definitely exploited idc if it was scripted or what but overall it’s still disgusting !

[@twtasep]

Lady telling Maury why she doesn’t like olives Maury:bring out the olives 😁 Like BROOOO💀🤦🏽‍♀️ he’s so wrong for that

[@literally8647]

Honestly, I can't stand the sound of cotton balls, and if someone comes at me like that they're getting smacked.

[@crystalwashington9739]

One thing I always hated about Maury and Steve after i learned about these lie detector tests.. they don't measure lies but change with normal behavior or reaction (internal and external) .. if the person is nervous they can fail even if innocent.. if the person is stoic (both internally and externally) they have the ability to pass. And what pissed me off is when the host yells" then why is the test saying this?" You know why.. it's possibly inaccurate and I'm sure it split apart many families or at least casted some trust issues.

[@connicia]

Now that im am adult...this is really really bad.

[@dizzy60527]

"Bring out the olives!" Villain origin story.

[@TheInsaneBEAST1]

It's pretty disturbing to look back at how we normalized minors talking about their sexual activity. An audience was not necessary either, because ratings were all that mattered.

[@lisah8438]

They expect me to believe that little boy really acts like that? Sure.

[@ebonih7138]

And I thought the DNA testing was the worst of it…unhinged content. Ppl need to be investigated….

[@bebespeaks7827]

You forgot to mention the Obese Babies and Toddlers.
