Former Houston Prima ballerina Lauren Anderson opens up about dark secret

[@bhumphries1360]

I respect her so much for being brutally honest. She is a great dancer. And definitely one of my favorite!

[@secretagentyolanda]

I'm really happy that she is able to overcome and even better she's so beautiful and honest and then she's helping people and continuing doing art

[@rickjuarez57]

I love you, Lauren and I saw you in a restaurant when you were pregnant and was starstruck! The last time I saw you dance was as the Sugar Plum Fairy and I recall how you looked out at the audience and smiled...in such perfect form. You will always be my Sugar Plum Fairy!

I am so glad that she was given a break by the judge. I think she’s is incredibly brave and I think she deserved the break. But, my gosh, how many people who didn’t have her privilege could have benefited from the same opportunity. It sickens me to see the chances celebrity are given, while a single mother who may have made a single mistake in judgement may lose everything due to one event.

I had to pause at 0:55mark just to make sure I'm seeing Melanie Lawson conducting this interview. Both women are a memorable part of my early adult years living in Houston.
