Vanessa is such a strong person, being pregnant alone is already hard. I'm glad that she's open about her faith, proud of her! What a great person. She's blessed with a little angel, River❤️

I love how Olivia is so immediately engaging and asks so many good questions. Both Rachel and Olivia seem like great girlfriends and are comforting, supportive people! Love watching this show.

I'm 27 minutes in and I LOVE this episode. Vanessa is so down to earth. And the conversations in the beginning, really hit home. I appreciate the honesty from all of you women. It's good to not feel alone!

[@crystalweiss6910]

Yes , I agree.

Everyone needs listeners as good as Olivia in their lives

[@nakitabeauty6886]

You can have so many people involved in your life and helping you when you’re a single mum, but when they go back to their own lives and you shut the door to your house/apartment that’s when it sucks the most. Being a single parent is hard!

Love this show! Loved this episode.. Vanessa seems like such a wonderful person ❤

Vanessa I hope you come across this comment 🤞🏾but listening to this podcast just made me have so much more respect for you and just a little reminder if you ever forget your amazing mom and actress like honestly💖💖💖. As a young actor myself trying to get into the industry you really been an inspiration. I know I’m nowhere near the level you’re in acting but it would be so amazing to actually have a conversation about acting because acting isn’t just about how well you betray your character but it’s also about how you affect your audience. ❤

Single mom here as well! Been raising a kiddo with multiple special needs on my own since his birthday. That's a long as my ex husband managed to stick around before telling me I should be ashamed of myself for not giving him a 'regular kid'. It's been seventeen years just kiddo and I!

[@Courtneyeli]

Olivia is my spirit animal

[@dasiareed5147]

So her son has her “ partner” she’s known for 2 years but his father is in his life yet somehow for those 2 years according to her this partner is all he knows when they’ve only been together a year and he’s now 3?

[@BeautyXXBrittany]

LISTEN I DONT WATCH THIS PODCAST THIS WAS THE 2ND TIME IN YEARS, I WATCHED Riverdale so I know who Vanessa is IM 34 so I OBV watched THE OC that was THE SHIT back in my day!!! LOL BUT LET ME TELL U THIS EP WAS AMAZING!!!!! IVE BEEN THERE BUT WIT 2 KIDS under 2, AND I WAS ALONE AS WELL THROUGH IT ALL EVEN THO I WAS WIT THEIR DAD FOR 14 years HE wasnt really there, he was using drugs, and was physically, mentally and emotionally abusive, he beat the sh*t outta me and almost killed me multiple times, AND THEN after we split 5 years ago he has now started to abuse our kids!!!!!! SMH and I'm having to go through the courts to get him away from my girls, and TRUST ME its not good!!!! THE CUSTODY COURT SYSTEM SUCKS BIG TIME!!!! AND yes they may favor the mom most of the time BUT IT ALSO TAKES ALOT to PROVE THAT the dad is abusive!!!! THEY don't just take word of mouth from the kids as well, and our kids are 9 going on 10 and 11 going on 12 and at 12 they can legally tell a judge they don't wanna see their dad, BUT its still SUPER hard to even get the courts to agree that he can ONLY have suspervised vists bc he has money WELL HIS MOMMY HAS MONEY and hes 36 STILL living at home wit mommy and just moved his criminal NEW GF in after ONLY 2 months of knowing each other and dating, meeting on Tinder LMFAO smh', AND SHE ALSO LOST CUSTODY OF ALL 3 OF HER KIDS!!!!! SMH ITS GROSS AND DIGUSTING!!!!!!!!!! IF I COULD TAKE MATTERS into my own hands I DEFF WOULD!!!!!! 100% SO IT WAS REALLY GREAT to hear that someone famous which I know they got through things as well just bc they are famous doesn't mean they don't go through shit I know they do, but to have someone who was alone during most of their pregnancy and after having the baby I felt like that too even tho we were together like I said he was MORE in llove wit dope than he was wit me, and even now he's been clean for 7 8n years, he's now addicted to the GYM LMFAO smh so he injects steroids and test and gets roid rage and punches holes in walls and picks up dressers and smashes them, and grabs the kids and breaks their phones and shit smh SOO that's why they have both now told him they no longer wanna go to his house anymore bc he spends MORE time fighting wit his new gf than he does with them, and he also has another child wit someone else and shes 4!!!!! SMH IM close wit the mom, BUT yeah he's also a narcissist so he NEVER ADMITS WHEN he's wrong STILL EVEN AFTER BEING CLEAN HONESTLY HES WORSE NOW than he was on drugs!!!!! ID rather him be on drugs HATE TO SAY than be clean bc he's a horrible person EITHER WAY but he was nicer when he was high lol smh

Y’all don’t even want to hear my story 😢

[@mione134]

They have training to stop food aggression. You should try at least getting another trainer. Exaust all options. All dogs are trainable. But if not, make sure she goes to a safe and special home.

[@universalhuman8]

I am Craving a very crunchy burrito without sour cream. You girls loves your kid. I love that for you. You girls keep me young.

[@phalanx-it]

Giving the dog up for adoption to someone without kids is the best way to go. As much as people say 'It's not the dog it's the owner' etc etc, they are animals (that being said, you try pinching a French Fry off my plate and I'll bite your arm off 😂). Must be a charity over there in the US that deals with this? Dogs that are a risk, but have not bitten a kid (We have the RSPCA in the UK, as a point for comparison?). Good for you in not taking the 'easy' option and.... On a slightly more jocular note....Beagles. The softest, most loving, most obedient and cuddly of dogs, not to mention one of the smallest (and tied only with Labradors for being the most stupid)... Only Rachel could get mauled by one... Maybe get a cat?

[@WTFZAE98]

Should've asked her why she dont date black guys

[@dasiareed5147]

😂good question and all her tv and movie roles she’s mostly with white guts or girls

[@BOSTON-xt7jj]

You guys need to stop lying to each other. All kids need there real fathers stop the cap

[@star0nyx]

Im unsure if anyone here said that at all lmao. But uh yup. Its always good to have more GOOD people around a child

[@BOSTON-xt7jj]

if you would let anyone else parent your child thats not the father...you are the problem. how would you like another women to be a mom replacement@@star0nyx

[@BOSTON-xt7jj]

Ok so my comment was deleted lol so much for having a opinion

[@karmabutterfly7985]

Then he probably shouldn’t have cheated on Vanessa, his affair partner got pregnant 5 months after Rivers birth. Mind you she was post him on her stories with no shame while Vanessa was pregnant. I have to edit my comments as I made an error in calculating*

[@dasiareed5147]

@@karmabutterfly7985how do we know she’s telling the complete truth? I mean she could be leaving hella stuff out I’m not doubting her story but in the beginning of the video she claims all her son knows is her “partner” girl just say boyfriend and second she backtracked and said oh his father is in his life which is it?
