Ricki Lake faced criticism for sharing a photo when she was entirely unclothed

Right now is one of Ricki Lake’s “most favorable” times of her life.

A former talk show presenter posted a self-portrait of herself on Instagram on Monday, showcasing her emotions and complexion.

In the picture, 54-year-old Lake is seen smiling and dressed as she relaxes herself in an outdoor Jacuzzi surrounded by towering redwood trees.

“These are the best days of my life,” she firmly declared.

“At fifty-four and a half, still comparatively young!” I’m grateful for everything that had to happen in order for me to get here. “A place defined by complete acceptance and love of oneself,” she remarked.

Lake began her journey towards self-acceptance in 2019, but she didn’t reveal it to the public until 2022.

She revealed a previously unreleased video of herself shaving her head in December 2022.

a 2019 video from this year. Her hair loss was caused by androgenetic alopecia, which she acknowledged having for 30 years in the video’s caption.

Although they had never shared unedited video footage previously, Lake stated in the description that they wished to do it now. They expressed their desire to spread the word to everyone who has followed their path and expressed interest in it. Since I know that some of you have experienced my battle firsthand, I want you to know that I truly understand your sorrow.

You may see me achieve serenity, freedom, and most importantly, self-care and self-approval in this movie.

Lake’s hair grew back after shaving, and she now embraces her “naturally gray and sometimes untamed head of hair.”

May peace and understanding come to everyone who is struggling. Life is far too short.

Even though some find the image insulting, she won’t back down.

“I don’t know why someone feels the need to present themselves in such a way,” said one person, to which another responded, “That’s okay, but why do we have to witness it, just curious.” I think it’s a little weird to post a picture of oneself online where you’re almost completely naked. In my opinion.

She did not seem to be offended by them either, but she also did not reply to any of them. We are free to respect the independence of the artists whose creations we appreciate and to share everything they so want.

What do you think of her post on the internet?

We believe that her primary statement merits particular attention. Spending time worrying about things we can’t control is a waste of time. We must be able to accept and care for our imperfections as well as ourselves!

The mom who stabbed her baby to death is found dead in prison

Six years into her 17-year-long sentence for stabbing her baby with a pair of scissors, Rachel Tunstill dies in prison.

Back in 2017, she stabbed her baby girl, Mia Kelly, more than 15 times in the bathroom of their Burnley home and threw her lifeless body in a bin.

Tunstill was initially convicted of murder and handed a life sentence with minimum term of 20 years, but a re-trial proved the jury in the case should have been offered a verdict of infanticide to consider. During the re-trial she was once again convicted of murder and put behind bars for a minimum of 17 years.

“HMP Styal prisoner Rachel Tunstill died in custody on 1 August 2023. As with all deaths in custody, the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman will investigate,” a spokesperson from the Prison Service confirmed the news of her passing.

At the time she gave birth, her boyfriend was playing video games in the next room. She then told him she had a miscarriage and asked for the scissors after which she remorselessly stabbed the baby to death.

At the time of sentencing, the judge, Mr Justice King, said: “This must have been a sustained and frenzied attack on a victim who because of her age was particularly vulnerable. Her duty to her newborn baby was to cradle and comfort her – not to stab her to death.

“There was here in my judgement concealment of the body, albeit short-lived and in addition there was undoubtedly the indignity which was wrought upon the body by disposing of it in the way she did.”
