Jimmie Allen talks with Kathie Lee Gifford about his personal life and career.

[@vwboymom85]

I love Kathy Lee Gifford. This is how you show up for friends. Listen, support, grace, unconditional love, kindness. No one is perfect. We all make mistakes. I'm happy to see Jimmie back out there.

[@Jgulko77]

Jimmie, we have been friends before there was a label deal, a booking agent, or any tour. And we have remained friends since that day and I cannot explain how proud I am of you to share this with the public while being so genuine, so authentic with your emotions and most personal struggles. The worst is behind you and I’m excited to see what Jimmie Allen version 2.0 accomplishes. Love you bro.

[@amandaalexander7679]

Said the best thing anyone could say 💪💯🙏

[@s.annehancock730]

This is precious. The Lord loves you Jimmie. Lean into Him. Stay friends with people like Kathie. Praying for you.

[@cbebop5]

I am so thankful that Kathy continues to be a friend to Jimmy and was there for him in the midst of his trials. There were several moments in this interview where she really spoke truth and loving directed him to truth. Especially the moment at 49:00 when Jimmy was saying he wanted to be able go provide for his children and give them what they want and more and then Kathy said, "they want you..." I said amen. For 6 children to be sharing a gifted musical artist for a father, surely the "things" won't matter so much as the time they get to spend with their dad. They need a father more than they need the spoils that come from money. I pray Jimmy would measure his success as a father not just by the lifestyle he provided but the time he spent with each of his children. Lifting them up and being a positive influence and role model to them that they can look up to and be proud of. God bless Jimmy and God bless Kathy for doing this interview.

Too bad she don't have the courage to warn him about living in fornication. But then she lives in fornication while proclaiming Christ. They don't go together.

Jimmie you are being so honest and you will have the GREATEST COMEBACK YOU can imagine. I just feel for you. I was told this at one point in my life “ Its not what you go through “ Its what you get through” Jimmie you’re doing just that. I’m so PROUD TO BE ONE OF YOUR FANS FROM THE BEGINNING! You got this you are growing as an artist in life! I never judged you as a fan. I Love your music as a fan. I hope you still have the LOVE of country music BECAUSE YOU ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE! Please don’t give up on country !❤😊

[@almavinson6678]

Jimmie I’m so glad that you get to seat down and finally tell your own story with Kathie Lee Griffin and sharing your transparency with the world

[@beckythomas9521]

Jimmie I am so impressed with your honesty and care for your family. It can't be easy to be so open about personal matters. You truly don't owe answers to your fans but being an open book about everything makes you human and not an object. I loved your music ever since I saw you open for Toby Keith at the Delaware state fair. I pray you continue to grow and be happy as well as find success in the music you want to put out. Bless you from a Maryland grandmother that hopes to see you performing soon.

Kathie Lee is the sweetest lady I have ever met! Been to her house several times and she was always incredibly kind.

[@KarlaElaine100]

I remember seeing Jimmy as a mentor on The Voice and feeling like something was “off.” I saw his eyes…and to be honest, I wondered if he was either high or depressed or both. Had no idea what all he was dealing with. Kathie Lee is a great friend an really does give great advice. Wisdom so often really does come with age. I have only one child..a thirty seven year old son. He was recently diagnosed with kidney cancer. He has three young daughters. I promise you…if we ever lose him (and I pray we don’t), his kids wouldn’t miss what he bought them. They would miss HIM…and cherish each memory.

[@cindyb5186]

This Was So Real! #SoProudToHave StoodWithJimmie & That Proud Mama moment Was My Favorite part! 🙏🏻💕

This was a powerful conversation. I am glad that you trusted Kathie Lee to share your story, Jimmie! Looking forward to the new music and your next chapter.

It’s not self love, it’s self acceptance of being human so you can love others. I love you Jimmie and can’t wait to see you on tour again!

Watched this this morning when it was first released. Your authenticity is real and there is no one better to share this through than Kathi Lee. Your best days are ahead of you. 🙏🙏❤️🙏🙏

[@gooswitch]

I remember meeting you in Spanish class and before I knew you did music I just thought you were a cool nice guy in the class. And you told me you did some music and I really didn’t get to see it shine until Footloose. I always appreciated you inviting me to play with you in the early days and going through some of that journey. I’ve always appreciated you brother, and look forward to the next chapter through it all. Hope we get to write a song together sometime!

God bless you, Jimmie. You hit rock bottom and came back up. That's true strength. We spend our whole lives learning, and some lessons are harder than others. Your true friends will always stand by you, no matter what happens. We don't always know why things happen the way they do, but the children you have are meant to be here, and to come from you and the mothers they have. Having them is a good thing. I am a fan, and will always be. Love and blessings to you. ❤

Jimmie, I know you were going through something and I want you to know I'm from Delaware back in 2019 in August you played at the Bottle and Cork in August . I too lost my dad 2 days before I saw you in concert it's hard to lose a parent. I know you have had some rough patches in the last few years and we are all human and make mistakes. I as Delawaren and a true I never gave up on you sometimes we get lost in everything that is going on in life wether its the professional side and or the personal side and we make not the best choices.

[@carolm6952]

Jimmy you are a brave soul to tell your story and reveal your vulnerability. I knew when I saw the headlines I thought oh boy Jimmy is being put on the cross and we don't know that it is true. I too Jimmy had things said about me that were not true. My daughter went through a horrible custody situation and in those situations they throw anything out there to see if it will stick. My family was put on the cross yet we did not do anything wrong. It changes you though. Your situation was on a much more magnified level but I understand you learn who your friends really are and you end up with a close circle moving forward. You are so blessed to have your Mom, close friends, and a beautiful wonderful soul named Kathie Lee. We all would be lucky to have a Kathie Lee by ourside through this journey if life. I am so sorry that when you hit rock bottom that you felt like giving up be happy you did not give up. Was this situation bad? Yes. But you persevered and your career is not over. Is it different now? Yes. But I believe with everything in me you will shine through this. How true the words you spoke. The teacher is quiet during the test. I too was a people pleaser. The older you get the less it matters. So someone told me something funny but true. When you are in your 30s, the light bulb goes on. When you turn 40 , it is like you want me to do what? The 50's create the attitude that you don't give a rats a** about what others think. This too shall pass and take Kathie Lee's advice she gave herself. Your Joy Is Not Negotiable. May God Bless you in all future endeavors. You have this!😊❤🙏

[@lycanhd]

‘You’re so articulate’ or ‘You don’t sound black.’ Why it’s offensive: This remark seems like a compliment, but it’s offensive to a lot of black people. They usually don’t have to be that articulate for someone to say that to them. When a white person says it, it usually implies they didn’t expect to hear intelligence from a black person. The black person didn’t fit the white person’s offensive stereotype, so the white person complimented them for surprising them. #JimmieAllenRocks

[@87jallen]

Jimmy didn’t take it negative.
