What Happened To Lela Rochon From 'Waiting To Exhale'? - Unforgotten

comedyhype.com/ - 90s actress Lela Rochon would take over the film and movie industry with her stunning looks and on-screen presence. Despite being sought after in Hollywood the actress would slowly disappear from the spotlight; in a new episode of 'Unforgotten' we explore why.

She was 5mths pregnant when she lost that baby. Honestly, having a miscarriage is horrible and when you’re that far a long that is an absolutely devastating lost. By that time you feel the baby moving in your body and giving you little kicks. Very resilient woman.

[@worldclasstraveler3530]

I agree! My mom lost her baby at 5 mos before me. I dont think she got over it. Then she waa about to lose me at 4 mos. The only reason why im here is bc they caught it at a regular check up. I think that's why both parents were overprotective of me. I come along and my son and only boy. It was like ahe took over! Then i have 5 more kids. In total, i had all the kids she lost. Thats how i feel.

[@giyawilbourn8653]

I am so proud of Lela Rochon for deciding to stick with her children. This world is so messed up that mothers who choose to raise their children are looked down upon. It seems to me that Lela's weight gain was due to some kind of medical condition & we as women know how that can be after we bear children. Hormones could've had a lot to do with it as well & sometimes exercise is not enough. Hats off to Lela for taking the stance to raise her daughters in this mean, cruel world. She is a Beautiful Black Woman, who definitely will not be UNFORGOTTEN!!!!! Like my great-grandfather used to say. "Now, you can put that in your pipe & smoke it!!!!" Love & blessings to u & Lela Rochon & her family.

I didn't know about the lupus. I wonder why it wasn't mentioned here. I wonder if that has an effect on her weight gain. Even if not a direct side effect if one's body is fatigued it is hard to be active or prepare nutritional meals.

@@jerjorju her weight gain is most likely due to lupus. I have it and have went through it all. The meds they prescribe make you eat like a horse. However if she can get things under control that weight will drop. It’s not an easy task. Stress is a big no no! So she really doesn’t need this. I wish her everything wonderful.

Her lupus flared up and she was back on high dose prednisone...gained the weight back. Over the years she's been up and down. When the pandemic hit she went into a 2 year flare up, started plasma pheresis and changed meds to benalysta. Nurse administered treatment wrong and it dang near killed her! She gained more weight.
