After I watched this video clip, I saw a different side of Donna. I think that it's very good of her to try and encourage other overweight women that they still can have kids and get married. However, I disagree with her work. No one should be putting on dog collars, drinking hot chocolate out of a funnel, and other stuff like that because it is so self-demeaning and it shows that you don't have a lot of self-respect for body and who you are. But I do think that her apology was good. She honestly wasn't saying that every person with cancer was going to die, but she did say that it raises risk of death. Like she said, she was only trying to state reality, although it did come out as a very negative point of view. Perhaps she could have stated it in a different manner. However, it is very hard to state your honest opinion in front of an audience that doesn't understand, or is offended easily.

Donna's explanation for the cancer comment just does not cut it for me. Yes, she has a higher risk of getting cancer because it runs in her family but she's basing her own expiration date on that alone. Doesn't she see she can "try" to live a healthier lifestyle so she can lower her chances of that happening? It seems to me like she just gave up on herself and doesn't realize though it runs in her family she can take measures to lower her own risk for getting it.

This lady is so stupid . How does her child have proper social interactions and learn about the world when the mother just sits in one place all day doing nothing . Meanwhile , the best thing to do if you have hereditary cancers isn't just to give in and get fat because "you'll probably get it anyway" . You pay special attention , you get regular health checks , and you try as hard as you can to decrease your risks of getting sick . Obviously .

I believe donna's apology was sincere. I just hope she re-evaluates her weight goals and attempts to lose weight and have a healthy life. She does not have just herself to think about, she also has a baby girl that needs a healthy mother that can teach her to live a healthy life.

Donna made it seem like she felt bad about being fat when she talked back stage but on stage she was proud of being fat. she's not an inspiration she's an embarassement to any women who is over weight and wants to be accepted in society. F@%# YOU. YOU HAVEN'T HELPED ANYONE.

Donna, I hope you read this or if the Tyra show could please pass it along to you I would appreciate it very much. I think your statements didn't come out as you wished and we all misspeak and say things we don't mean or others misunderstand. You have a good heart and I appreciate your heart-felt attempt to reassure everyone you meant no harm. Please don't ever give up trying to lose weight no matter how old you are or how many times you fail. It's a struggle for me everyday for all my life and I'm still trying. Something to remember is: "No man is an Island." We all need others no matter who we are or how much we have. But we must be self sufficient as much as possible and independent so we can teach our children how to be independent as well. You should not be so heavy you can't take care of your own personal hygiene if at all possible. You are being wreckless with your life as well as your husband riding that motorcycle. It is against the law to drive over the speed limits and could endanger his life as well as others. If you both want to deliberately put your life in peril that's your decision but you should not have brought a child into the world with those attitudes. So in effect you are putting other lives in jeopardy and turmoil. Your husband should take the lead and get both of you some therapy or counseling. We must understand and control our emotions. Most of us eat because of hidden trauma, hurt and pains we don't realize affected us and we just can't connect the dots. We have to come to terms with what is hurting us and learn

This woman is fool of s***. On the show when the question came up about her daughter, she didn't even give a f***. & When the Cancer survivor, I apologize, I forget her name, but when she had made her comment, Donna had kept on going, & you could CLEARLY tell that she did not care at all. & Tyra was VERY right to silence her on that. Because we do have a lot of Cancer patients fighting for their lives, & They don't need to hear that there is no hope for them. It's SAD. So Donna is fool of S***!

not matter what she said. Tyra had no right to tell her to shut up. It is a Talk show,TALK, NOT a tyra show"even though that is the name lol"

what donna said was full of s*** cuz it dont even sound like it came from the heart i feel bad for her daugter

This woman is psycho. She's already at exceptionally high risk of getting cancer and diabetes without piling 600lbs of fat on top of that. She's basically committing slow suicide, and i wouldn't care at all if she didn't have a child. As a parent its her job to take the best possible care of herself so she can be around for her child. Instead she will just be a burden on her daughter.

I dont think that she is being realistic.. she is blaming everything around how her mother had cancer and who said this to camoflauge that she is truly unhappy, I personally dont think she is "fat" but more that she is unhealthy. Being thin you can get diabetes and other things such as cancer but when you are overweight and unhealthy your risk of that is so much greater. She is crying because she is upset, she's not happy with herself. She needs to take charge of her life get happy and healthy.

Hola Tyra i don't thik tyra is wrong but tyra is they to help donna not be rude and i thik donna is a good girl but it is not right to thik it ok to be oB and i feel sorry for donna baby. the baby will be ob because donna is ob.i feel sorry for donna & baby & her man ps love yaaa!! tyra te amo

i dont get it if your chances of dying from cancer of diabetes are already high then why arnt you doing everything that you possibly can to bring your chances down. Yes she has cancer in her family so that rasises her chances of getting it but her being overweight raises the chances even more. She needs to do all she can to make sure that she will be thre for her daughters first day of kindergaten and first day of high school and graduation and marriage she is letting her daughter down by not setting good healthy goals for herself. Does she really want her daughter to end up like her sitting on the computer doing dumb things to entertain people. Does she realize those people are making fun of her and she is embarrasing herself. She is losing alot of self respect. if she could only get out and see that even though there is bad in the world there is also many things that make this world a fun exciting wonderful place. I f she isnt careful she will end up sitting in bed all day every day weather she likes it or not she doesnt need to be skinny just healthy and that staarts with respecting your body and giving it exercise and healthy food. If she started eating a healthier diet and took walks everyday and eventually run every day she would be happier and could eventually be healthy enough to have a job(where she isnt embarrasing herself)and go out with friends and go out with her husband and do activities other than just sit. She will not be able to run around with her daughter or walk around a mall for hours with her daughter or do that stuff that every girl loves to

i think Tyra had every right to tell Donna to shut up. If you guys paid any attention at all to the show you would have heard Tyra tell Donna "I love that you love your self, but it is unhealthy." Tyra was trying to help her and make her see that her weight is totally unhealthy. I do not feel sorry for Donna at all. She let her self get this way and then she puts those degrading things on the web, of her self. Her daughter is going to grow up one day and see all that. Donna really needs to step up and be a mother and try to get healthy again. And as for the cancer comment. My dad died of lung cancer 3 years ago and for Donna to say "well you got to go some way". really pisses me off.there is so many people out there fighting for there lives due to cancer, they didn't choose to get cancer like she chose to weigh that much. I was very touched that Tyra defended all the viewers and cancer victims/survivors. Nobody should act like cancer is nothing,Thanks Tyra. I do feel sorry for Jessica though, because her husband should love her for who she is not make her gain or lose weight. For the FA's or whatever they call themselves need to seriously get a freaking life. If they love fat so much why the hell don't they go gain the weight and have the fat on them instead of making someone else do all the gaining. That is sick. This show just was ugh!! I can't believe Donna.

I thought Donna was very very over the top man , I thought she had lost her mind about geting up to 1000 pounds HALLO , can't she realize that she could risk to die or something :S , I did'nt see any point to weight 1000 pounds , omg what reason is that like she sad ; I want to be the worlds most fetast woman , I was like oookey hahah , she's crazy ... I just felt bad for her that all :/
