I, too,  think she looks pretty darn good in a buzz cut.  She should have done it years ago.

I think she looks greatI remember years ago working with a lady who had issues with her hair, she was wearing wigs etc...One day she came to work with a similar cut to Ricki's  she looked fantastic.  Everyone all day long told her how great she looked.  I know it took a lot of courage for her to make the choice to cut it and I am sure she was nervous but she made the decision and she looked so happy all day.  She told all of us she should have done it years ago  Bravo to Ricki

I can totally understand how she feels. I've had hair loss for almost my whole life and went bald a couple of times. You don't know how it is unless you have gone through it. I'm still going through it and it's an emotional roller coaster.

@Anonymous032819.  Because traditionally, a woman's hair has been considered to be her crowning glory.

I can't manage to feel sorry for Ricki Lake.

That's really sad that you feel no compassion for others.

 Good for her for shaving her head & taking back her power. She looks beautiful.But I honestly don't think I could do that.I'm not that strong.Everyone has to live within their comfort level. There is no right or wrong here.

I have compassion for the millions who are so much more worse off. Celebrity sob stories don't move me.

I like her well enough but think she has come forward about her “struggle” because where has she been since when?  When has she been heard from or about before this “news”?

Ricki made an Instagram post which includes, "I know that by sharing my truth, I will be striking a chord with so many women and men. I am not alone in this and my goal is to help others while at the same time unshackle myself from this quiet hell I have been living in. Line 5 & 6 of the second paragraph.

She also said in a video since, that she's received overwhelming support from women and men dealing with this who are not celebrities.

That's the point, she has no projects in the works to be looking for free sympathy advertising or attention for a new project.

This is not her only depression issue, her ex-husband committed suicide in 2017 and she has 2 children.

I think her heart is in the right place, but if others don't, then that's their opinion, which they're entitled to.
