Makes me sad for her. She is a very likable, intelligent, pretty girl. Sad she thinks she isn't good enough without all the glam:(

[OVRxNxOUT]

I don’t think there is anything wrong with her wanting to look her best everyday, however, I don’t think she is doing it for the right reasons. She is likable & doesn’t come across like a lot of girls do that live or try to live the “Beverly Hills” lifestyle of “I’m better than everyone else.”

[kake]

All the jealous people in the comment section can't admit she seems to be a nice person and really smart.

[selena]

Wow she really took it too far it’s nice to be pretty but personality and a good heart matter more

[jhnisdo]

I have body dysmorphia too and its very hard for me to treat and keep under control even with medication because of what we are shown on social media every single day.

[mitzimacbain-mcpike]

I could cry. She looks perfect absolutely beautiful yet she couldn't see it. Very sad...

[victorconrad]

pretty simple issue here. Take away the money, if she can maintain the lifestyle on her own good for her.

[deborahhauhnar]

Comparing to the other girls on Dr.Phil who are obsessing their looks I think she is the most kind, respectful, smart, humble young lady....

[ebonymills]

Im just like this . If I don’t look nice I’m not happy and it affects my whole day when I look good I feel good and want to do better 4 myself

[pandabeargaming-iell]

Tell her to get a job and glam up with her own money

[blessedbe]

I feel sad for her, menopause will one day come. I truly hope she understands she is more then someones eye candy.

She is a lovely young woman.

[BeckBeckGo]

This isn't about looking HER best, this is about looking THE best. I think she has a major jealous streak.

[cass]

She looks like she's over 30 years old!!!

[KegOfMeat]

She’s very pretty and comes across very down to earth and smart and she doesn’t seem arrogant and self absorbed at all just insecure naive.

[cieraamico]

She actually seems very genuine and intuitive. She's very aware of outside perspectives but sometimes maybe to a fault. I would be friends with her haha

[slayerized]

I'd hate to be the guy that marries her. Her father did her no favors.

[redpyro]

What season and episode is this? I want to see the full episode.

[Rubester-clop]

Wish she would have gotten help. Before it got to where it did she was a pretty girl with out work. And don’t get me wrong for the most part plastic surgery is a personal choice until it gets out of hand. She asked to have her ribs removed glad they said know. Also think getting that much work done that young screams regret. And while she might have a lot of money now she could easily go broke from that kind of spending. It certainly doesn’t sound like she is saving or investing just earning and spending on plastic surgery and other very expensive things!

[yournamekellyscott]

By the time she's 20 she will have had that much surgery she will look like Frankensteins bride

[natalie]

Who would pay for all that. Having no HS degree even, we all know that’s not feasible nor attainable.
