You can tell this was still very difficult for her but good on her for being brave to do this !

[@ahleebobba]

She carries herself w class Almost like a First Lady

[@convoswithpassion2398]

I am over here crying for her because i can see she is fighting to get her words out and it's not easy for her. Praying she is doing well and her corner remains full of love and support 💗🙏🏾💯

[@martyes9563]

She always had such a beautiful smile...she still got it! Mental illness is not a joke and it impacts so many people in so many ways. Wishing her all the best in every way!

[@philliphargrove8861]

Wish her nothing but the best 😢

[@bettywhite6672]

Lark, if you see this I’m rooting for you. I have anxiety and depression and some days are harder than others. ❤

[@donjefferson802]

This was not 3 years ago as what they are saying.... And she's in the new season of saved by the bell now, it's amazing,❤❤❤ I'm glad they have her back on the show

[@cdgates1]

This is a 2020 episode

[@donjefferson802]

@@cdgates1 yes I knew it was in 2020, however, I stated that when they posted it it wasn't 3 years ago. But I do thank you for your response ☺️

[@achild4363]

I admire her and how she is embracing her mental health and was able to bring awareness

[@nubiankmtwq6333]

Very emotional interview. It's very sad but I'm glad she finally decided to speak up. We tend to blame everything on drugs/addictions and don't talk enough about mental illnesses and how it affects people's life especially in the Black community. It's good to see that she has all the support she needs and is on her way to recovery.

[@danalee173]

That cast should be ashamed of themselves for casting her out do to her illness. I don’t even watch the reunion show because she’s not on there.

[@michellahunter1100]

The can at least give her small lines. She can read a script. And she will be doing what she loves

[@TheInsaneBEAST1]

Yes she is

[@daberry9159]

Facts

[@Jprager]

I believe it was more so they didn’t want to take advantage of a friend who they weren’t sure would be able to go back into the spotlight. Like they did Shelly Duvall or something

[@davinahernandez4027]

Pure evil. This is so messed up yet she still doesn’t say one negative thing about any of them

[@thinkingcritically46]

Larks mom so amazing thank you for being there for your baby true great mothers

[@Xxsopxx]

Glad to see Lark is doing well and fighting her battles!

[@Amariiiiie]

So thankful for this and that she got the help she needed. I have been so saddened by her case. This is so beautiful! 💓💓💓

[@kh491]

Mental illness affects so many in such a complex way. It’s very powerful that she had the courage to shed light for others suffering. May she find all the happiness and peace she deserves.

[@marvintaylor5332]

You are still beautiful Lark , inside as well as out !!!! God bless!!!

[@TheSoni83]

Im glad she is doing well Mental illness is no joke ❤ she is brave for coming on TV and showing herself and her illness.. bless you❤❤❤ we love you 🎉

[@coffeenow35]

I always thought she was adorable 🥰

[@cherrycordiaI]

She is. I hope she gets better soon. She doesn't deserve to suffer.

[@DavidLimUX]

When she and screech weren’t in the reunion it wasn’t complete without them.

[@lucycarola]

The reboot didn’t do well at all. But, they did include her in the credits. So, let’s go watch some “Saved by the Bell Reboot” so she can get some royalties! I have immune disorder issues and it took me 15 years to be duly diagnosed and I am FINALLY in the up and up, but, I’m 45 and struggle w employment discrimination due to my disability. I felt EVERY minute of her interview. But, I can still communicate adequately. The show would’ve sucked without her and the reboot sucked without her💔. But, if she’s credited, then I’ll watch all two seasons of it. Lol

[@kirksanders9478]

Me too!!!

[@ambitiousbeauty1013]

She's a beautiful woman. I wish her well on her journey in life.

[@ZaiahDaPlaya]

She still has that smile ❤

[@bigtexas81]

I'm so thankful people are willing to come forth to share their struggles with mental illness. My heart breaks remembering my deceased father being diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. We didn't know how to help him, because we didn't understand he needed help. He was such a great dad and then something changed. All of a sudden it felt like he just became hateful and mean, which separated him from our family for years. He told me on his death bed he lived a life lonely and afraid.

[@user-xy9ls6py2c]

Lark you’re beautiful and you’re not alone in this walk ❤️ You say so much without saying anything! You’re heard ❤️❤️❤️

[@thinkingcritically46]

So proud of you baby girl I have the same issue and it's not easy but we will survive

[@lascel5997]

Mannn, this hurts my heart. Prayers and blessings to you Lark!

[@CoDeen91]

Her smile is so attractive!!! She’s very beautiful!!! We love you, Lark‼️

[@nadineromeo3306]

THIS IS REALLY HEARTBREAK ING SHE IS STILL STRUGGLING...ALL THE BEST ON A SPEEDY RECOVERY FOR HER MIND AND SOUL ....SLOW AND STEADY . GOD BLESS HER 🙏🏽

[@roseamberzine5846]

There is no speedy recovery but is a lifelong struggle until the correct medications are found.

[@Horror_Film_Aficionado]

Saved by the bell was a great 90s show

[@alexismays6013]

I am elated to see her involved now in production 🥰💗 so happy for her, she is a true testament to what is possible with the right care and support

[@janaydaniel]

Bless her heart. Lark is such a beautiful girl and always has been! I wish I could hug her ♥️

[@prettyinpinkCH]

So sad, but I’m glad she’s speaking out

[@cybersquire]

Precious Lark❤ So talented that the Saved By the Bell production rewrote a character because she was that good. It’s a terrible thing to have your mind robbed from you. I hope she’s doing well, and finds a way to get better.

[@MeresM.-cs1qx]

Lark… you’re amazing, you always have been and always will be, never forget that! Saved by the bell was my fav growing up, I always used to watch it before school. 🥰. Keep being awesome.

[@Asantewa94]

I’m so proud of you sister girl LARK!!! You are AMAZING!!! U EMPOWER ME

[@Feed-My-Mind-Not-My-Ego]

Mental illness should not be hidden. People should be able to speak about this bravely. It's difficult because society deems mental illness as if it's a curse or an embarrassment. Life gives us all different vicissitudes. We as humans need to be more embracing and less judgemental. It's difficult having to hide the difficulties one is experiencing and having to wear two masks.

[@chalceyusher8391]

You see and feel her pain in this interview 🙏🏽❤️‍🩹

[@jordanmarcus]

Growing up in the 90s, I always had a huge crush on all the female cast of saved by the bell. But I havent been aware of the latest news of the cast and had no idea what challenges Lark Voorhies had faced and had to overcome. I know with these type of mental diseases, sometimes the full veracity of the symptoms are unleashed well into adulthood. I’m glad to see her doing well and carrying herself with such dignity. She’s an inspiration.

[@ninety8grovebaby701]

Sending her healing energy and prayers ❤️

[@DeeNice681]

I will always love Lark, one of my first crushes, she looks great still!

[@gerards9976]

What a brave woman. You shine more now than you ever did Lark.

[@kingnaldo4058]

Her mother is a great support system for Lark Voorhies. The bond between them is clear...🤔

[@user-me8ny9bt1w]

I really appreciate her volubility and being honest with her truth. Thank you Lark keep fighting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@COO415]

You could tell, she's really hurt by the reunion snub. Hey, that's Hollywood, you're expendable, your entire well being be damned. Lark you still beautiful, stay strong ❤

[@raywaudby8215]

Shes still awesome. After all these years we have missed her.

[@russellapfel6374]

I am glad she is doing well. There are people in Hollywood who have worse problems and are not shunned! I am sure we will see her on the screen in the near future

[@blueblaze9862]

I hope so, but I don't think so

[@Auntemem]

Lark, came to find you and saw this. Sending you love. It boggles the mind how Hollywood breaks talented people. I hope you continue to heal. You are doing the hard work. Focus on the future even as you reconcile the past. We absolutely loved your work on the show. Great memories of your iconic role. Saved by the Bell doesn’t define you. ❤

[@TakeMeAWeigh]

This is a rerun. I hope she is continuing to do well❤

[@teachjackie9667]

Respectfully done Dr. Oz

[@sonicaudio777]

She's a beautiful woman. remember Lark with GOD all things are possible

[@rjh007shsu]

Anyone catch that she called herself Lisa in regards to who gets the "Lisa Voorhies" thought?

[@propogandalf]

Interesting!

[@untangled2066]

So proud of her, hoping and praying for the best 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@bethreeve7683]

She looks so good here. It's nice to see her looking better. It was wrong of them to shun her. There's still so much discrimination around. Good luck to her. ❤🙏

[@karen46600]

They should have REACHED OUT TO HER AND INVITED HER I WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE TO HELP HER 😅

[@zentologys1371]

This industry doesn’t protect kids and she developed it while working in it or before. I’m sure the industry magnified it. We support you now and later I hope you doing better. It’s ok not to feel okay We love and support you

[@JayPDee6391]

Her eyes says she's sad

[@vswapsy]

Still gorgeous ❤

[@PJ-po6xy]

Such a beautiful sista. Hope she get it together

[@michellahunter1100]

I’m proud of her. I believe in her too. All she need is a script 😉

[@FCignelli]

Good for her for being so open.

[@CatriniaSmith-li7de]

Thank God for her mother who cares for her more than the money or fame. We've lost so many child stars. Hollywood causes these mantle break downs.

[@Chloe5264]

Them excluding her makes me wonder if they know about something that may have happened to her while on the show. It just seems strange to distance themselves from her like that. Sending prayers up for her. She is amazing!

[@AmourLondyn]

She did a great job. Maybe one day she will act again❤

[@wildchildent2153]

She’s still so pretty I’m so sad for her Hollywood is crazy 😢

[@cynthiabrown8098]

She was one of the original cast members from the very start and should be part of the reunion

[@notever_everytime5074]

This poor woman can barely get two sentences out without sounding like she's about to shatter. Shame on this show for ever bringing her on - they should have recognized that she needs help, permanently, and gave her privacy.

[@explodingnightmareproducti5612]

Just like Dr. Phil when he paraded Shelly Duval around and that poor woman had done checked out a long long time ago. It's exploitation, pure and simple.

[@harrycrouthers5968]

she so beautifully strong i love her we love U Sister Lark.

[@eddiewaibale7798]

Lark if you are reading this, know you are loved and admired by many . We wish you all the best in all what you pursue in life

[@VeVeJT23]

Don’t understand why her mom didn’t give her props for how hard she’s working and what she’s going through. All props to the doc but none to Lark. That hurt to watch.

[@Scottish_AMcR87]

Such a shame but it’s a testament to her to be comfortable to be open up for the world. Glad she was able to return to the reboot eventually.

[@kristin972]

Bless her heart. Lisa turtle forever

[@roseybiz2901]

She’s talented and I hope the best for her.

[@roseybiz2901]

Yooo

[@narbo35]

She would be a great addition to a cast. Thanks for sharing. I was definitely one of those curious people wondering where Lark went.

[@bakercarl8518]

Blessings to her.

Bless her heart, still as beautiful as ever 🫶🏾🫶🏾💫

[@user-iy1vw5hi2s]

This broke me so hpe she got the help she needed😢

[@user-zk8os8ck9r]

I can see where she has come from and the woman next to her making amends for what she has gone through.

God bless her

I am so happy for her, that she is trying her best to get back pack with her friends and I'm going through something like this might have been going through this for years. May God be with you, always and forever❤❤❤ !

[@reyherebia5664]

I wish her the best I grey up watching saved by the bell

[@TiffASUgrad]

I didn't like when he laughed after inquiring about "competing voices (in her head)."

[@hotfudgecake]

I think he was just mirroring lark ,as she also said it with a smile and laugh . And he probably honestly didn't know what to say to that.

[@MrFreskoxxx]

What a beautiful woman I love her

[@user-yg5tj9nf2g]

You are still beautiful my sister. I have always loved me some Lisa. May Jesus bless you always Lark.

[@juliusJolie]

❤ her

[@BillGraper]

She's still beautiful. I just don't think the blonde hair color suits her well. I wish nothing but the best for her. She & Tiffani were battling for my attention back in the day. ❤

[@jasonesapp]

Great job by mom

[@AngelaNicolexo0729]

I love her and wish her well! when was this show aired does anyone know? was it this year? 2023 ?

[@thedailyhummm]

I’ve never heard of her until I watched the show small wonder. I didn’t know she played in saved by the bell. I never seen the show saved by the bell, but I am a fan of small wonder

[@sarahkparadise726]

I guess if you've never seen saved by the Bell you wouldn't know she was in saved by the Bell so that makes sense...lol.

[@OW.luhbrizzee]

she still looks gorgeous 😍😍

[@user-vc4yn8pj5r]

My childhood crush 😘

[@SimplyE1986]

Beautiful 💖 ✨️

[@CarysCreatesThings]

She looks so beautiful. I remember being shocked when I saw the interview with her in the early 2010s.I’m wondering when this was filmed? Because I’m sure she was in the SBTB reboot.

[@cdgates1]

2020

[@CarysCreatesThings]

@@cdgates1 Thanks. I think it must have been fairly early in 2020 then, not just because of the pandemic, but because I’m sure the reboot started airing in late 2020 and she was definitely in it, though I’m not sure how many episodes she appeared in.

[@cdgates1]

@@CarysCreatesThings 3 episodes

[@clicketysplit1817]

Still adorable 😊

[@dominiquegordon8813]

She was my absolute favorite. But she definitely have this disorder and idk if itll just go away..
