Lark Voorhies’ Bizarre Interview: I'm Not Bipolar, It's A Small Opinionata!



Lark Voorhies, famous for playing Lisa Turtle on the 90s hit Saved By The Bell, denies she's suffering from bipolar disorder in a bizarre new interview with Entertainment Tonight, and we've got all the details for you right here on RadarOnline.

Lark, who says she’s not seeing a doctor, tells ET she was duped by People magazine, who she says initially pitched their recent story about her -- an investigation into her battle with mental illness -- as a profile piece.

"It is a small u …opinionata that is getting blown currently out of proportions," she told ET's Christina McLarty. "I have no stating reasons why anyone should worry about me. Clearly, I am a very strong, top-of-the line, always riding to it personage.

"I have no worries myself, nor do I exude, exhibit or possess within my living stratus any reason why someone should worry [on] my behalf -- it's completely fictional. You know, you put all the right elements together and you keep them going...we have to be entertainers. This is our particular angle."

People, saying they spent hours with the actress and her loved ones, said, "We stand by our story."

"We stand by our story."

Yeah...I can see why.

This is so sad.

Wasn't the interview given as a joint interview?
I thought the magazine raised questions about her mental health because she was acting strange and her mother replied with her answer.
I don't think her mother did it to OUT her daughter or hurt her. She was a part of the interview and answered her question.

Anyway...Someone wrote an article about her books, and posted excerpts from them.

There is definitely something wrong.

"Her other book from last year, Trek of the Cheshire, is not, but its physical listing contains this description of its author:

Lark Voorhies, styles, a, wondrous, realm, A mystical liberation of enlisting proportions. Lark Voorhies, spans to, reengineer the Abominable, American, Woman! Reinstalling, the faith, into, the, known, variable, Lark Voorhies, gloriously, resurrects, the victored, Phoenix, compelled, and, complete, unto, awaited, timelines, there, unthwarted.

A, winsome, carry-all, Trek of the Cheshire, coasts, supreme. Boldened, amongst, the, attributate, and, atokened, writes, this, side, of, the, windmiracle, Dixie, Cheshire, promises, conclusive, frank, insight, unto, the, homo-gendered, expressions, of, today. Will, delight, apleeting, and, afortuitous, senses, alike. Boasting, pleasure, on, soar, Lark Voorhies, turns, in, a, hornfest, of, time-aquilled, recordings, sure, to, administer, the, blunt, end, of, current, and, power-packed, face-offs, afforded, the, novel, to, average, mightful, seeker. Trek of the Cheshire, preempts, post-phasal, ruptures, guaranteed, to, raise, the, crest, of, treasured, scailings, to, a, high-probed, notch!

It's not just a hornfest; it's a hornfest with commas. In fact, it's more a commafest than a hornfest. I know that and I haven't even read it. Voorhies loves the punctuation mark. True Light radiates with them. The three-page intro contains barely a word that isn't separated by commas. Here is its opening, all [sic] everything:

For, ages, we have learned, to, search, for, the, truth, about, life. The, truth, in, regard, to, the, opolous, insight. Facts, ascertaned, according, to, the, willing, advance, of, theme, and, time. Fames, tolled, apart, from, steads. Standards, partrolled, in, union, with, the, ever, held, age, perfection, within, the, stales, of, solution. New, boarders, of, parental, discovery, taled, to, the, wind, of, true, shelter, and, destine. At, harmony's length, we, trivail, the, chiefs, of, known, ability, to, prevail, the, pronounce, of, hartmanship.

It goes on like this. If a dead white guy wrote it, it would probably be lauded even before it could be pored over. She uses words like "plithany," "ahieght," "windtales," "ritters," "preimphantly" and "ziquester," but unlike Dune, there is no glossary in the back. Just when you think maybe she just decided to fill a book with mock-up layout gibberish, she quotes Genesis. The second chapter ("Created by: Lark Voorhie" reads the top of the page) uses a block quote and then starts relatively coherently:

There are many beginnings in the bible. In this beginning, as you see here, the earth, later known as the lands, the nations, or, the, world, begins within a, formless, darkness, later known as the expanse. In, biblical, language, it is of import, to agree upon the authenticity, of its celestial, authorship, being that, the divine illustrator, himself, is noted to have authored, much, if not all of its inscribings, through the active hand of human standings.

xstellargrl 9th-Nov-2012 10:39 pm (UTC)
And then the commas start again.

I don't know what this book is about even though Voorhies provides an explanation:

This, is, the, book, of, sight. This, is, the, all, explanatory, form, upon, destiny. This, is, the, book, of, light.

(We're only on Page 5.)

Each of the 10 chapters is titled "Light," except for the first one, which is called "The Light." One of them is a brief list of sentences from various Bible books that include the word "light." The entire book is about the Bible. Here is how it ends (spoiler alert):

Kein, explore, and, ingeel, application, to, apreen, partake, of, lithened, enchantchentry.

Embark!

The other available book, Reciprocity is a novel that begins with "Two people, mid coitle." The third paragraph opens with, "Pleasure seizure has begun. Well, for Marcus, anyway." It seems kind of normal, if not consciously florid, but then, about 10 percent of the way through, the commas start. But only for a page or two. The book about a trip to Paris and Daddy issues shifts tenses, bungles idioms ("This was the straw that provoked her spirit") and is riddled with typos, but it's relatively clear in its narrative voice. Basically, it's no True Light: A, superior, take, unto, the, premier, haloing, of, tenuation.

That is, until the very end when many paragraphs start with "Enter:". For example:

Enter: Stratovarian. The, Red, Shoe. Day, same. We, see, Dana, waiting, in the, "hallway, of, chance." Ready, for, the dance, of, her, life. She, is, called, forth. She, accepts.

Enter: Smits, Financial. Day, same. We, also, see, the, correlation, with, her, "big, presentation", at work. She's, really, proving, herself.

Enter: House, of, Momfort. Momfort, Hall. Night, same. "I'm, one, of, two." Cheri begins.

Enter: Stratovarian. The, Red, Shoe. We, see, Dana, introduce, herself. She, begins, dancing, with, her, assigned, partner. She, is, absolutely, beautiful.

From there it falls apart. A few pages later:

Instited, upon, magnitude, Antione, accompanies, the, men, to, the, immediate, depart. To, the, wings, they, tear. Wristling, the, warn of; air, adjourned, to, time's palate. The, great, escape, shall, not, miss, his, fmgers. Not, with, the, bellows, so in cue. Antoine, and, his, men, load, on, and, into, the, awaiting, cavalcade. Cheri, the, surprise, doe.

Got it? Another spoiler: The book ends, of course, "happily, ever, after."

Sounds like word salad to me.

with all the commas i kept reading it in william shatner's voice.

"and, i, think, it's, gonna, be, a long, long, time...i'm, a, rock, et, man."

People with Schizophrenia battle disorganized speech (word salad)and thinking.
tigirah 10th-Nov-2012 04:04 am (UTC)
omg, this is actually terrifying me. I feel so bad for her :(
foureyedgirl 9th-Nov-2012 10:44 pm (UTC)
she looks really good in the video but yeah something is definitely going on with her. I'm willing to bet it has to do with her being a jehova's witness. those people are cray.
sdpt 9th-Nov-2012 10:46 pm (UTC)
dang. i hope she's ok and that she's only trying to sound like those people that use wrong big words in a class about thermonuclear catastrophes.
zeppelina 9th-Nov-2012 10:48 pm (UTC)
I know some ppl with bipolar disorder, and they had no problem forming sentences...
zeppelina 9th-Nov-2012 11:00 pm (UTC)
I wonder if she doesn't have a brain tumor or injury in the area controlling language or speech. She seems like those ppl who are thinking one word but end up saying another that makes little to no sense. Although I think they know they're not making sense.
tigirah 10th-Nov-2012 04:09 am (UTC)
yeah it sounds like something beyond bipolar
juel1979 10th-Nov-2012 04:46 pm (UTC)
That's exactly what I was thinking, and it made me wonder why her mom ran to the media instead of being like "let's go get a checkup and a cat scan," or something. I know she can't force her and she's an adult, but I would think concern instead of profit would be a better route to take.
hipsandhearts__ 9th-Nov-2012 11:01 pm (UTC)
Aw, my heart goes out to her.
But her talking reminds me of Joey using a thesaurus to write an adoption letter for Monica and Chandler on Friends

Wow, I thought "opinionata" was a typo until I watched the video. :S

She sounds off. :(
maidenhell 9th-Nov-2012 11:15 pm (UTC)
My mother suffers from mental illness. I always read posts on this topic because (most) people on ONTD seem understanding of it, unlike the real world where there is shame. I feel for Lark and her family. It's not easy.
stellawuzadiver 9th-Nov-2012 11:16 pm (UTC)
I hope she gets help, 'cause something obviously isn't right, but "always riding to it" actually sounds kind of dope.
pikapika217 9th-Nov-2012 11:18 pm (UTC)
........At least she looks good?
pikapika217 9th-Nov-2012 11:22 pm (UTC)
on a serious note, there's something very Whitney-esque about that video. I hope she can become ok soon :/
imonster 10th-Nov-2012 08:04 am (UTC)
it's her attitude. and entitlement. and obliviousness.
oceanhue 9th-Nov-2012 11:29 pm (UTC)
She was so beautiful...
handsdowntoo 9th-Nov-2012 11:33 pm (UTC)
I don't even want to watch. I hope she gets help.
ellelelle 9th-Nov-2012 11:37 pm (UTC)
I don't really like the accusatory tone of this piece. If this actress does suffer from bipolar disorder it's not really anyone's business, and I hope she gets the support she needs.
