Okay...But What In The Hell Is Lisa Turtle Wearing?

Lark Voorhies and her mom Tricia had opposite opinions on the state of her mental health in People Magazine earlier this month. Tricia said that Lark is bi-poplar, but doesn't want to get help and doesn't really take her meds. (In Lark's defense, it's kind of hard to take her meds when that junkie whore Jessie Spano keeps stealing them from her medicine cabinet.) Lark said that she isn't bi-polar and yes, she's a little hazy in the brains, but that's just because she's a very spiritual person who is thinking thoughts all the time. Well, as Lark and a man friend left some restaurant in L.A. last night TMZ asked her about her mom saying she's bi-polar. Lark took a quick minute to meditate and let the spirits whisper a response into her brain before she said:

"Well I think it quite comical... I'll put it to you like this, outside contract, everything is funny. Beautiful pictures though, don't you think?"

Lisa Turtle went on to talk about other shit too including how we're all spiritually in tune with an informant connection, or something like that. Lisa Turtle talks like me if I drank a whole bottle of absinthe and tried to do an impersonation of Audrey Hepburn in Always.

Yes, Lisa Turtle talks and carries herself like the pilled-up matriarch of a wealthy New England family who is about to tell her children that she's cut all of them out of the will, but it really doesn't matter if she's bi-polar or not. I'm more concerned about that make-up and outfit. GUUURRRRRL. That's an outfit that Dorothy Zbnorak would look at in the Memaw of the Bride section at Sears and quickly shoo it away because it's TOO obvious.

That's aphasia. She had something, a brain injury. She's not schizo, manic or depressed. Most likely.

He sounds confident about her condition.

Had to look up aphasia and I guess there are many different causes, types, and severity.

This makes me sad, poor girl..hope she gets better.
It doesn't look like bipolar to me at all though..something else is up.

I have finally registered to comment on this site after many years to simply say that this was the saddest thing. I feel really bad for her that she was even put on the spot like that. They never should have asked her that or stopped her in the street for some stupid inside scoop or whatever the hell that pap thought he was achieving. I think that guy who is with her probably would have preferred if she had not spoken to the pap but he probably realizes that if she is going to take the time to do so (compose herself) then obviously he would let her. I think if he had pulled her away and stuff that would have been creepier to me. I don't know why I wrote all this crap, this just really affected me. I grew up with her on TV and loved identifying with a mixed girl in the media as it was very rare then. Again, I feel really sad for her and like most people have stated...that she can either be left in peace, or find the help she needs.

Well, I can say a friend of my mother acts like this to a point. She will take a moment to herself and her spiritual being before she replies to something major [like she's waiting for them to tell her what she should say]. That being said, my mom's friend really is into this deep spiritual way of life that those around her think she's a nutcase. In fact, she isn't mentally ill. Just very into, well, spirits.

However, watching Lark, I think she may have a bit of a problem along with the spiritualness. I don't think it's bipolar or schizophrenia. But only a professional can determine that, really. But I do hope she gets some help. The creepo next to her sure ain't helping.

Now she has Leech instead of Screech. Definitely have the sads about this.

This makes me very sad for her. On the surface she speaks oddly but she answered the questions on point all while trying not to break down. She came across as someone who knows how to talk to the press. From the expression on the guy's face you can tell he knows how hard it is for her to answer without giving a reaction for the camera. I wish her well.

Poor woman. It's hard to watch former kid stars who seemingly had it all just disintegrate in the spotlight. Any remember that girl from "Family Matter" who ended up doing hard-core XXX porn? That ABC news show interviewing her and then actually showing her the porn she performed in was *very* hard to watch. She broke down and started crying.

I couldn't even finish the video.. it's so creepy. There is definitely something wrong there. I've read things in the past about Lark being traumatized but no one ever elaborated. I love me some Lisa Turtle.. this is so sad. Someone do something!

Submitted by boredasfuckyo on Thu, 10/25/2012 - 5:45pm.

I'm not THAT familiar with bipolar, other than the manic depressive part of it, so in that context, the behavior claims she exhibited and then this shows if she has anything mentally unstable about it, it clearly isn't JUST bipolar, unless part of bipolar is schizo symptoms, WHICH could very well be. A lot of mental disorders have a lot of the same syptoms, so its hard to diagnose at times. Also in the majority of cases of mental disorder/illness, they usually have comoribidities. In any case, this is sad if something is that wrong with her, and it's really fucked up the media are going after her. It's not gonna make her any better. Hey, I bet Justin Timberlake's friend is kicking himself for not getting her in his little video for Justin's video *rolls eyes*.

This woman is quite sane. I understood everything she said. She's a poet, so she thinks about her words and chooses interesting ones, but from her behavior and speech, I find her to be as sane as a judge.

I wish her all the best. My childhood friend has schizophrenia. She was always struggling mightily, and I know it has always been hard for her to live normally.

The sad part of mental illness, especially in adults, is when they refuse to take the medication. I knew a person in college who ended up forcing his brother (who had schizophrenia) to take his Lithium. My childhood friend ended up in court, also. She has kids, so her Mom was worried she wasn't taking care of herself.

Submitted by CashewTime on Thu, 10/25/2012 - 4:16pm.

Very sad. I feel icky for having watched it. On a lighter note, if someone in LA came up to me talking like this, I wouldn't be surprised. California is full of people speaking this type of gibberish.

I would agree with schizo affective which in many ways is worse than bi-polar. The way she s pausing makes me think she is hearing voices. My daughter does that sometimes--that's how I know she's having an episode.

Medication will only alleviate some of the symptoms. There's no cure. She would need therapy in order to deal with the delusions. And because she's an adult, there's really no way to force her to take meds. Most don't because they begin to feel better or beause the medication deadens the symptoms which they feel gives them an edge.

Dude with her reminds me of Jim Carey.

Submitted by AtomicCity on Thu, 10/25/2012 - 4:06pm.

This breaks my heart. In all honesty, she sounds just like one of my revolving door patients. She's a sweet lady, but she would much rather stay longterm at our mental health facility than attempt to function independently. I've not spent any time with Lark so I won't attempt to diagnose her, but I think several of the comments here are incredibly accurate.

I sincerely wish her nothing but the best. Mental illness is such a delicate subject and so terribly misunderstood. I've seen entirely too many people who desperately need help deny that they have any type of disorder.

Submitted by KA on Thu, 10/25/2012 - 4:01pm.

schizoaffective disorder is exactly what i thought. she answers her questions like a family member of mine does. kind of a big stream of WHAT. i really hope she realizes she needs the help and gets it. mentally ill folk wont do it until THEY accept the treatment.

This is really sad. I feel bad for her that media outlets like TMZ are taking advantage of her OBVIOUS mental illness and exploiting her for page views. She is clearly sick and in need of help/medication/a doctor. I feel embarrassed that I watched the video, thus encouraging this exploitation. I hope Lark gets well.

Submitted by MinxInSpace on Thu, 10/25/2012 - 5:14pm.

Is TMZ really exploiting her? I agree that there's likely something wrong with her but TMZ posts footage of their cameramen talking to celebrities all the time. I think it would be exploitive if they were posting this for laughs (I'm looking at you Justin-Timberlake's-videotaping-homeless-folks friend!).

Maybe this footage will lead to her getting help. Stranger things have happened.

She looks twice her age! You gotta love how her man piece quietly waits for her to finish her thoughts while something like this is circling his mind: "Speed it up, Turtle! I just want to bang you and get it over with so I can tell my friends back in Montana that I was Saved by the Bell."

Tiddly Winks- yes schizoaffective disorder is a really good diagnosis. You are right about the way she strings words together, the way she makes up words and the rythym. She needs to be on meds but they won't really help her "get better" maybe just cope a little more but she will probably always sound this insane and need 24 hour supervision for the rest of her life.
