Marie Osmond on Her Divorce

NBC's iVillage Live, the talk show for women, gets the first words from Marie Osmond after she announced her divorce.

[@kcgodwins]

I had the honor and privilege of meeting and hugging Marie and she is a genuinely wonderful person. I knew this before meeting her but it was just super-reinforced during our visit together. She has occupied a very special place in my heart since 1976 or so, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

[@jamilgotcher5456]

I take it that this didn't air in 2007, because Olive Osmond passed away in 2004. I was so close to my Mom too. My life was better with my Mom here in this world.

[@lovemuffin1963]

@getoveritwillya She ALWAYS said in interviews she did not remember which kids were adopted because they are HER kids.

[@archie977]

what marie means is the most beautifull and sacred i hear in a long time tv does well to honor people like her.

[@davidkleinman5160]

When a celebrity on a talk show says "enough! Move on" regarding a topic they are not joking even if she gives a big laugh. Tacky host to pressure her to talk if she's not ready

[@SunShine-yk9ge]

David Kleinman umm, I don’t think you were watching very closely. The host was actually on to a different topic. Marie didn’t want to say anything more about her divorce and the host had actually already switched topics to her postpartum depression and Marie didn’t realize it..... I found the host very compassionate and caring. She was asking those questions because she knew that so any people listening were also going through the same difficulties, she wasn’t digging for dirt, like some talk shows.

Marie Osmond is a beautiful and sweet lady. Plus Marie has a loving heart. I've always loved Marie Osmond. Not to mention Marie also sings beautifully. The whole Osmond family is a wonderful and nice family, we need more like them.

[@donroberts2126]

So glad that she's found love again, second time around. If only Michael could have found a way to hang on in there...

[@katkrazy3308]

So what Marie is Mormon. Marie is still human. Marie has problems just like any one else. I admire Marie for being such a strong person. Marie has not had the easy carefree life that people think she has. Marie is a beautiful, classy, kind hearted lady. Plus a wonderful sense of humor. I love Marie Osmond.

[@josephferreira2452]

Marie Osmond is the greatest she's the prettiest and she's the sexiest lady I ever seen in my life she's a good actor you got a voice like an angel everybody loves to music she makes everybody happy when she sings she is perfect in every way God bless her and the family I will always love you baby you are number one

[@agnetha06]

Do you people have nothing better to do than to make immature comments? I think you are the ones who never grew up or learned to have manners. I think she looks great and she always seems so full of joy and humour. Keep up the great laughter and beautiful smile.

[@Reeca1]

Marie is such a strong woman, she is able to get through anything...she's so amazing despite her hard times.

[@Stemax1960]

Marie is human. Respect her for who she is and not what she is. I am divorced, and also seperated from a long term relationship. I have a fair idea how the poor woman feels.

[@almadelima8236]

Am amazed at what God can do to a person who is so much.in love and beginning to put a face on her God's Will and thanked that her God's Will is a Born-Again Christian!!!

[@pattyj5846]

You people have no idea how difficult it is for others to spy on you and check on you every minute of every day. It's not fair and it's not right. Even famous people should have privacy and not have to explain themselves to everyone and don't give me this crap about how they chose to be in the limelight. Not everyone chose to be that way just because they followed their dream of what they love to do. They don't need to be harassed and constantly criticized and ridiculed.

[@musicbruv]

I stopped buying newspapers 30 years ago because of the crap they print about celebs, I fully agree with you that it does not matter who you are you need a private life, I have never been interested in what people do in the private life, it is nothing to do with me,

[@tigergreg8]

@Shameful 45 No, what a person wants to do is sing, and maybe act, which entertains people. The idea of people spying and getting into your personal affairs is not part of the job, it's what 'other' people have made it. Maybe sit back and give that some thought.

[@aimeelove8548]

when my husband was in the hospital because of his alcohol and drug addiction dependency he had developed bleeding ulcers and needed blood transfusions in 1995 then i told my 18 yr old son i could'nt take the abuse and being poor anymore so i was going to divorce him and get on mother's allowance like everyone else my gifted son started crying and begged me not to so i didn't

[@RykersMom]

I am so proud of Maries strength. As another divorced woman with children I know she is going through so much. She is such a great woman

I come back to this clip cus I wish she'd just kept aging more naturally like this. less of all she's had done but I'm glad it made her feel good

She may not be your sister, but you can be a sister to those around you using Marie as an example. In other words, to someone you love, be their Marie.

I AGREE I DONT THINK SHE SHOULD TALK ABOUT DIVORCE

[@susanemmons7504]

Marie (Osmond) Craig's private life is HER business NOT mine!

[@SnowS162]

The host is nosy and presumes her divorce was on everybody's mind just because she had announced it over the weekend. It's overkill to expect a celebrity to talk about private matters and expect them to be role model.

[@SteffiReitsch]

Years ago I recall an interview she did with Barbara Walters where she said she didn't believe in divorce and would never get divorced. She was young. Barbara looked at her condescendingly like , you're very naive, child. .

[@SteffiReitsch]

She said she's not going to bequeath her 8 kids anything so they'll have to work. Maybe she'll change her mind? If not, they're sure going to be pissed. Osmond's had it made since she was about 13, getting the big bucks for easy work, singing, modeling and sh**.

[@aimeelove8548]

ivillage helped me lose weight and start working out like 20 years ago back in the 70s my mother in law used to say i looked like her

[@barbarasmith779]

I think it's great that she adopted most of her children,most were adopted in her second marriage

[@conniebarnes9274]

Keep in mind, there are trolls out there and I spot one. Don't waste your time and energy replying to them. That's what they want. Go to any Donnie and Marie videos and you will still see the same trolls trolling away.

[@susannaCdonovan23]

Connie Barnes Why do they insist on trolling a person when they could be doing something positive here on KZbin. They must be angry birds all the time. So disingenuous to attack people because you may not like their faith or morals. Too many people out there with no positive purpose in their lives.

[@jonathanmorrison9134]

Wait, Marie Osmond founded the Children's Miracle Network? Oh my. I didn't know that. Well, as a special needs person (I have Autism and ADHD), I am also proud of Eunice Kennedy-Shriver who founded Special Olympics and made life much, much easier for special needs people like myself because if it weren't for Special Olympics or Stillwater Academy, I would probably be in prison or have been in prison for kidnapping a rich girl for a king's ransom or robbing a federal reserve or carjacking a corvette or a Jaguar or a Mercedes-Benz. I am glad I looked at the man in the mirror and turned my life around before it was too late. Marie, I am very supportive of your charity and I try to donate whenever I can when I have spending money of my own.

Marie is human and divorce plays no favourites. And she is very well put together, wow.

But then the host would be faulted if she hadn't coaxed her into talking about it. It's a shame that people have to care so much about her divorce and personal life.

msta100, marie does have Christ in her life. She's mormon, which is a Christian belief in God. Marie's focus is her family and her faith. Those two things are what's gotten her through the divorce, her son in rehab, her parents' deaths, everything. She has the Lord in her life.

[@afghanhound]

Well, I don't necessarily believe that "everybody's fine" and doing well, but that is all she wanted to say at this time, that is her perogative. The reporter "had to ask", but she doesn't have to answer. Yeah, I think she's strong.

I agree with you Pamdawber. Use of the mailing list of the charity her MOTHEER founded (not her, as she often claimed while competing on DWTS), constitutes fraud and abuse. And there are no "winnings" to donate kraut - unless you are telling me Marie donated her salary from the show (celebs get a set salary regardless of when they get axed from the show). If you are claiming she donated all of her salary to CMN, I'd like to see the proof that she did so.
