Lesley Machado

Luv2Watch · ‎10-23-2010

I just wanted to share that I will certainly miss watching host Lesley Machado on HSN. She is a well-spoken and classy representative of the company and always remained upbeat and positive despite the pressures of being a single parent to three young boys along with the disappointment of a marriage which ended in divorce. I was going through the same exact turmoil in my own life at the same time she was, and as silly as it may seem, the way she was able to pull it together and present herself to the public in a positive manner each day served as a lighthouse to me during my own very dark and stormy days. When I was able to see her look so pretty and polished and smiling on tv (even though I am sure it was very difficult for her to do so) I started to believe that it was possilbIe for me to do the same so I would force myself to dress up, put on some makeup and face each day with grace and dignity. After a while, doing so didn't require as much effort and I was able to put the past on the back burner and set my sights on what the future could offer.

Change doesn't come easy to many of us, and it takes some time to wrap our heads around a "new normal," but with time, courage, and faith in ourselves we all have the ability to adjust and accept the things in our lives that we don't have complete control over.

I want to send Lesley my well wishes as she faces this new transition. May God continue to bless her and her beautiful sons. They are so fortunate to have her as their mom, and they will be watching her and learning from her as she handles this bend in the long road of life.

I know nothing about her personal life but, IMO, she was an excellent host--informative, professional.

I just wanted to tell you that you expresed yourself "beautifully" and that was very kind of you. I know on these forums you can get some pretty darn nasty remarks, but, reading your commentary brought "humanity" back to me! You should send this e-mail to "Leslie" on Facebook if she is on there. I am sure she will thank you for those gracious words!

Lesley was a delight to listen to, I will miss her very much. She often mentioned being divorced and a single mom to 3 boys.

She was an excellent host and I wish her well in her next chapter. Her personal life is her business and I'm sure she didn't go on air and bare her soul to customers.

Of the five host layoffs, this one surprised me the most.

I always enjoyed watching her midnight TS introduction, whatever the product.

She mentioned being a single mother occasionally, only hinting at a difficult breakup and the challenges she faced. What a pro!

Very professional and polished.

@Luv2Watch I just saw her last night with Curtis Stone. I didn't realize she was leaving HSN. Was she one of those people let go by Qurate like Dan and Carolyn?
