It's bullying wrapped up in supposed "honesty" and "telling it like it is." It's neither of those, it's bullying. Who builds themselves up by hurting their child? She's not exactly a skinny Minnie herself, so she doesn't have any room to be so critical.
@@leahpope8672While possibly true, what this saying does is discourage people from setting boundaries against being hurt (because it stimulates empathy). There's no situation in which that mother's behaviour is appropriate or acceptable. Regardless what has happened to mum, an explanation is not an excuse. Being hurt is not a license to hurt others.
Parents make kids fat unless it’s a health condition. Her mum had help in doing it. Maybe her mum should be encouraging and take some blame to before she gives her shit.
What a beautiful girl any one would be proud to have her as a daughter, she’s pretty and her mum sounds jealous give her the love. Respect she deserves
@@deniserodway7251 too right. She also would make a great Mother. I bet she wouldn't do to her kids what she experienced at the hand of her Mum. I'm really rooting for Leah to have a better life being with her matrimonial family
I used to hear-“if I can’t tell you, who can?” It’s extremely difficult. You have to bury it, but the damage it does to you is terrible. Just have to be aware not to let the cycle continue.
I'm sure her mother has contributed to her insecurity...her mother has issues and uses her "brutal honesty" as a way to deflect from her own insecurities...people who are secure with themselves don't knock others down.
I'm so glad the owners stood up for the bride and told her Mom to be nicer. I wonder how often the bride has had people stand up to her mother? That Mom seems hell bent on diminishing her daughter's self esteem. What a 🐝
@@cherylbesel7210I’m confused, I have several family members that are narcissists, but I didn’t notice the little sister saying or doing anything nasty, just the mom.
What a nasty, insulting, rude hag that woman is and the best thing those daughters could do for themselves is go no contact. She admitted that being kind and loving is "just not in my nature" so kick her to the curb. Best wishes to Leah.
people who call themselves "brutally honest" hide behind that just to be mean. you can be honest without being a bitch. if it really is bad you tell them in private while still being nice. its not like being honest goes hand in hand with being mean. you can be honest and nice. its not that hard. mother is just a jealous person. you can see it in the way she looks at her family. bride looks beautiful in her dress and i hope she has/had an amazing wedding
Yeah...no. The mom will be just as vicious and cruel at the wedding, because that's what/who she is. She'll be saying to the guests exactly what she's saying here about her daughter.
yep, i used to call myself brutally honest. i just hadn't learned tact or empathy. i've been involved in a support group for over a decade now and it's been so great for me, learning how to put my own opinions in the backseat and listen to others first, and consider their feelings before saying anything. even when i watch these episodes at home, i'm doing the compliment sandwich - looking for a positive, then carefully pointing out any negatives, then more positives/suggestions.
If her mum was that comfortable speaking about her daughter like that while being recorded, I cannot imagine the filth that comes out her mouth when they're in private. Leah is absolutely gorgeous.
In psychology it is said that what we criticize in others we see in ourselves. Maybe this woman is projecting herself and her self-esteem is so low that's why she's so mean.
Oh wow, that poor first bride! Her mom's so harsh. My heart breaks for her, whether or not she feels the nest to be 'honest' or not, that attitude is terrible. I hope she has more confidence now
The comments from her mom are abusive. Stop making excuses for her. Those comments will have a negative effect on the daughter for the rest of her life.
That woman is simple vile and disgusting. I refuse to call her a mom. A real mom always find a way to make their children feel good, wanted and cherished.
Shame on that mum, out of all the people in the world your child should be able to count on you to encourage her. You don't need to belittle her, she already feels fat and ugly thanks to you!! Always find a reason to compliment your daughter. Love that child, no matter what else is going on in her life she should be able to count on her mum.
Because it's her mom she says she's brutally honest but she's just brutal. No wonder she has no esteem. Her mother is disappointed in her because of her weight and feels comfortable insulting and putting her down.
But, Mom needs to take a look in the mirror and put her hate where it's deserved. She needs to listen to The Man (insert mom) In The Mirror, on repeat.
If my mom ever spoke to me like that, I'd be done with her! That girl did not deserve that! She's beautiful and sweet and deserves much better treatment from her mother!
As a mom of two girls I’m disgusted with the mom. What kind of monster do you have to be to put down your own baby girl like this!? Especially on what should be a special day, horrible. If she speaks like this on camera I’d hate to see how she talks behind closed doors. I wish I could give the bride a big mama hug.
Leah is lovely, her mum looks like she got pulled through a hedge, backwards. No wonder Leah feels like she needs approval, she's been bullied her whole life.
My mother was the same way. Her favorite name for me was a “fat butterball” and many other vicious things. Those words cut to the bone and I remember them all these years later.
I was told I had thunder thighs and walked like a cow. Keep in mind, I was a normal weight. I didn’t get fat until I moved away from all of that. I look at my pictures as a little kid and feel so hurt. My friend looked at them and was why are you so stiff and standing so straight. I did that to look thinner. It really hit home when she could see something in those pictures I had forgotten about…
It is counterproductive for a mother to make statements this mother makes privately let alone publicly; and then add insult to injury: make those “brutally honest statements” On a TV Show!!! Love with a helping of tact, and more encouragement, and compassion is what a daughter needs from her mother. Maybe Mom does not realize this “verbal emotional abuse” defined? Whether she means it or is joking, does not change the words that inflict hurt … permanently.
"Being nice is not in my nature" is basically like saying that it's not in your nature to consider other people's feelings. Which is much like a lack of empathy, coming pretty close to psychopathy. A giant leap, I know, but I'm just very put off by people saying outright that they will not bother to think about how their words or actions might affect other people.
Mum is disgustingly mean spirited. I was waiting for Jo to cuss her out. I was a bit disappointed that this video sort of left us hanging on both brides.
If she lost weight, something tells me that her mum would find something else. I hope the Bride breaks the cycle and isn't like that with her daughters.
Lea said she needs to grow a backbone. I say her mom needs to grow a heart and get some empathy. What a nasty woman. If I were Lea, if mom continues to act this way once the kids are born, I’d keep them the hell away from her.
These mums that are so rough and mean, and cannot even reel it in when people obviously are upset by it... I don't understand them. The flippant "well, that is just how I am" is so telling. People who refuse to work on themselves.
I see myself in the first bride. My mom always used to say negative things about me no matter how I felt I looked. I don’t think moms know the power their words have on their children.
Under that laughter mom has, it feels like the mom is a very angry person and perhaps a bit jealous of her daughter. She seems like she doesn't like herself, so she may feel that Leah should dislike herself too.
I can't stand people who justify their cruelty and attention-seeking with the pretense of honesty. They get a charge out of others' hurt feelings, so often resorting to the tired comment "You're too sensitive". They also get a charge of bystanders' shocked reaction ("You didn't just say that!"), either with a sly grin or the pseudo-virtuous "I'm just being honest!". Ultimately, the so-called truth-teller gets a charge out of proviking an emotional réaction, and experience tells him or her that this is most easily done by saying something cutting. I have just started watching; I don't know yet what scenario the mother will choose to feed her own ego.
Im a mom and would NEVER say something like that to my daughter. Wtf if your so critical and rude dont have kids, they dont deserve to grow up with someone like that!
This is just like my mom and those comments stay with you forever! I have never dreamed of getting married or wearing a bridal gown and her comments definitely played a part in that. To this day the word "fine" is my most hated F word. I will never ever say something to my daughter like what has been said to me. Be kind to your gorgeous and breathtaking daughters, moms!
Who needs enemies when you have a mum like that. How dare she. Rude and attention seeking. This has NOTHING to do with outspoken. She is vicious and a bully. How insecure must she be that she talks to her own daughter like that. Shameful.
The mother is just like mine was. The bride is beautiful. Get away from them. I’m so glad that Al and Jo caught it right away. Please bride stay away from those two toxic people.
As much as I agree with all who say mom is mean, but no one mentions the sister. The mom seems to also feed on that what she says making the sister laugh. Even that Leah giggles when mom says some things. Mom is not regular size either. Already seeing how the sister handles her mom's mean remarks seems the way they all been taught to deal with bullying. Sis if was emotionally mature would be able to say something like " mom that is hurtful. You can state if it is not your favorite without name calling or laughter", but she doesn't. My mom was not as bad but close, even to her grandkids until my sister and myself stood up to her. She truly thought she was "toughening" us up to handle the real world. This family needs some counseling or it will just be repeated if the bride or her sister have kids.
Unbelievable the way Mum talked to her daughter. She's beautiful and Mum should be ashamed of herself. How hard is it to say, "You look nice"? That Mum really is horrible and a disappointment.
It took me 50 years to realize that there were only cons and no pros to having anything whatsoever to do with my visciously undermining mother. It's a whole new (and much easier) life without her gleefully cutting voice in my ear. If this woman reminded you of your mother, know that you are not a bad person to cut off contact with her. There's nothing wrong with you; there's something wrong with her (no matter what other "redeeming" qualities she may have). See how it affects everyone? How can the bride trust her sister, who copes by laughing and brushing off the verbal daggers her mother proudly flings? Bravo to the staff for having none of it! If still you doubt mum should be avoided at all costs, she said it herself: when asked if she could give a kind word, she stated plainly, "No. It's not in my nature." None of us wants a terrible mother. If you got one, it's not your fault. Grow up the downtrodden little girl inside who was dependent on her, grieve and rant a bit, then walk off into your happy life. You owe her nothing!
The mom is putting her own insecurities out on her daughter. Her mom is plus sized and may not be comfortable about it but the daughter has a great attitude and spirit hopefully that will not be influenced by the mom's constant jabs.
Okay, look. I think that one of the responsibilities of a loving family member is to be honest with those you love. If a dress, or anything else, doesn't look good on her, her family should tell her that. But for God's sake, don't be rude, belittle and make her feel awful! Be honest, like, "I don't think that dress is very flattering...", but don't be a jerk!
Leah is not a plain Jane! She is quit lovely! She is very pretty. That mother needs to stop cutting her down. I think maybe Mom is jealous of her lovely daughter!
That mother is the reason Leah never gets dressed up/is always in her pj’s. 😢 I guarantee you that she has probably always made fun of her daughter’s appearance her whole life, which is so tragic because she has a beautiful smile and you can tell she’s so kind and doesn’t deserve to be called such awful names by the woman who is supposed to love you the most. 😢😢
Dear Sweet Bride, Do everything in your power to keep your mother and sister out of your children’s lives. They have left deep scars on your psyche and your heart. Therapy may help you regain your self respect, seek it out. But keep those toxic women from doing what they did to you to your darling children. ❤
There is a huge difference between honesty and down right mean. The mother on the first part was horrible. I have a grandmother that is like that. She will say a nasty backhanded joke about you, then try and laugh it off. It really hurts. Just another reason why I went to the court house to get married. I wore my white Senior prom dress as my wedding dress. My husband and I will be celebrating our 13th anniversary in November.
The bride is very pretty and sweet without even makeup. She also has manners and can present herself gracefully vs her mother, who simply has no idea how to behave- and acts like she is on a trashy reality show. Such a disgrace. Shameless. And absolutely rude, just humiliated herself and her whole family on national and international level. 🤦♀️

That’s not being outspoken, that’s just being straight up rude and insensitive!
And, it explains why her daughter needs reassurance.
if being nice isn't "in your nature," then guess what, you're an asshole! i don't know why leah keeps her around.
It's bullying wrapped up in supposed "honesty" and "telling it like it is." It's neither of those, it's bullying. Who builds themselves up by hurting their child? She's not exactly a skinny Minnie herself, so she doesn't have any room to be so critical.

"Outspoken" and "blunt?" No. Let's call it like it is. The mother is "vicious" and "mean." That mom is a vicious shrew.
My thought exactly!
Parents make kids fat unless it’s a health condition. Her mum had help in doing it. Maybe her mum should be encouraging and take some blame to before she gives her shit.
Exactly!
Been there done it.
and jealous
Leah is a real beauty. Her mum is just sad and she feels better putting people down - the woman probably can't stand herself

What a beautiful girl any one would be proud to have her as a daughter, she’s pretty and her mum sounds jealous give her the love. Respect she deserves
Yes. This is exactly true.

“Blunt” is not the same as vicious and rude. This woman has pissed me off to no end!!!
Amen to that!!!
So true but sadly there is a thin line between blunt and rude.
The first brides mom is the hungry hippo. She needs to look in the mirror. The bride looked stunning.
They are both hungry hippos. They’re about the same size
What a disgraceful Mom.
Of all the comments about the mom I think this one sums it up.
I just feel so sad for the bride .I can't imagine my life with a mother like that.
After a lifetime with a mother like this, it's really refreshing seeing how many people disapprove of her bullying.
My late mom was sort of like that but not this bad.
I used to hear-“if I can’t tell you, who can?” It’s extremely difficult. You have to bury it, but the damage it does to you is terrible. Just have to be aware not to let the cycle continue.

I know right! My mom used to say "pretty is, as pretty does". By that measure, the mom and sister are seriously ugly!
It’s just the mom not the sister 😂
I was thinking the same 😂😂😂

I bet when her mother reads this, she’ll feel no shame but Leah will probably be embarrassed by how everyone witnessed her mother’s verbal abuse.
If her mum was that comfortable speaking about her daughter like that while being recorded, I cannot imagine the filth that comes out her mouth when they're in private. Leah is absolutely gorgeous.
So it is in mums nature to be mean? Ugh
I do not understand. Where is the conclusion? The hippo mom is one ugly woman
In psychology it is said that what we criticize in others we see in ourselves. Maybe this woman is projecting herself and her self-esteem is so low that's why she's so mean.
To speak of and too her daughter how she does is awfull
Look in the mirror mum

I would like to glue momma's lips shut. Leah is lovely. Jo and Al are so wonderful and supportive.
Because it's her mom she says she's brutally honest but she's just brutal. No wonder she has no esteem. Her mother is disappointed in her because of her weight and feels comfortable insulting and putting her down.

The 1st bride yearn for positive attention from her mom, not verbal abuse. So sad...because Lea is beautiful! Love her earrings btw😊
Words hurt, “Mom”, and that hurt often lasts for a lifetime. You’re both shameful and shameless!😡
Why can’t people learn to be supportive of the bride? This is a special day, just be supportive, don’t criticize.
This mom is just a mean bully, and she sounds like a jealous and sad person. Leah is just perfect
Exactly

Leah is gorgeous. That is the first thing that I noticed when they showed pics of her...even without the makeup.
Don't end it there! I want to see the dress Lauren chooses!
Leah is lovely, her mum looks like she got pulled through a hedge, backwards. No wonder Leah feels like she needs approval, she's been bullied her whole life.
someone should serve the mom the same dish and watch her break down in .02 seconds. RUDE RUDE RUDE.
💯
You can be outspoken and honest, and NOT be mean and cruel. This mom is a straight up bitter and hateful shrew!

I swear I genuinely cried. What sort of talk does this stunning girl get in private?
"Brutally honest" is code for mean jerk.
As if the Mum is any sort of beauty queen herself. What a meanie. 🤬
"Being nice is not in my nature" is basically like saying that it's not in your nature to consider other people's feelings. Which is much like a lack of empathy, coming pretty close to psychopathy.

Mum is disgustingly mean spirited. I was waiting for Jo to cuss her out. I was a bit disappointed that this video sort of left us hanging on both brides.
That mother is disgustingly jealous.
I think the mom is jealous too. She has two gorgeous daughters.
100%
And the mom is *such* a prize.
why have enemies when you have a mother like this
She is no mom! She is mommy dearest! 😢
If she lost weight, something tells me that her mum would find something else. I hope the Bride breaks the cycle and isn't like that with her daughters.
The meanest and rudest women tend to be the most insecure. They’d rather stick it to others first. They are the worst themselves.
Does that mother thinks she's Skinny Minnie? Because she's not!
Lea said she needs to grow a backbone. I say her mom needs to grow a heart and get some empathy. What a nasty woman. If I were Lea, if mom continues to act this way once the kids are born, I’d keep them the hell away from her.
Didn't the intro say that Lea is a mum of 4 children. I hope she learned from her mother how not to parent.
It is like the mother enjoys putting a pin in her daughter’s proverbial balloon.
These mums that are so rough and mean, and cannot even reel it in when people obviously are upset by it... I don't understand them. The flippant "well, that is just how I am" is so telling. People who refuse to work on themselves.

I wish Jo and Al had given that "mom" a piece of their mind!
Leah is beautiful. Her mother needs to keep quiet
Her mother is secretly jealous of her daughter and her relationship.
First girls mom isn't being honest she is being a total asshole to her daughter.
She is beautiful! Gorgeous hair and skin and features!
Under that laughter mom has, it feels like the mom is a very angry person and perhaps a bit jealous of her daughter. She seems like she doesn't like herself, so she may feel that Leah should dislike herself too.
I feel awful that her daughter feels the need to dismiss her mums behaviour!! Absolutely disgusting!!!
She needs to go no contact with her sick mother and uninvite her to the wedding.
Mom If you can’t say something nice say nothing. Can’t understand why you need to be so mean. She looked beautiful!

Back down momma, if you’re lucky your daughter may keep talking to you. This is you daughter that needs support not criticism.
Her mother is a very RUDE person! She just haven’t found the right person to tell her off! 😡
That’s not “brutally honest” - it’s just brutal. Goodness, the mom is toxic.
The consultant's makeup is gorgeous as well as is the bride's.
Leah is one of the most beautiful brides I have seen on this show!
This young lovely bride to be….. is absolutely beautiful!
She has a very beautiful face.
She looks amazing.
And so does the MAMMY 👞 😂😂😂😂😂
Who needs enemies when you have a mum like that. How dare she. Rude and attention seeking. This has NOTHING to do with outspoken. She is vicious and a bully. How insecure must she be that she talks to her own daughter like that. Shameful.

The mother is just like mine was. The bride is beautiful. Get away from them. I’m so glad that Al and Jo caught it right away. Please bride stay away from those two toxic people.
I don’t understand why, some mum’s have to be mean. She should be boosting Leah’s confidence, not tearing it down.
What the fudge?! And the rest? What dresses did the brides choose? Aaaahhhh! I want to know!

My mom’s idea of a compliment was “you look good. What’s wrong?” I understand.
This is an episode that's been posted before- I DO hope the mother has read all the comments about her BOTH times.
I was hoping to see both brides in their final picks.
Poor Leah. Mom is mean , rude and out of line! mom has a problem
Lea is such a pretty girl and looked stunning in the first dress
Dear Sweet Bride,
Do everything in your power to keep your mother and sister out of your children’s lives. They have left deep scars on your psyche and your heart. Therapy may help you regain your self respect, seek it out. But keep those toxic women from doing what they did to you to your darling children. ❤

My mom was never mean to me. I was overweight most of my light. She was a friend to everyone.
Leah has a lifetime of therapy ahead of her, nice job mum.
The bride is very pretty and sweet without even makeup.
She also has manners and can present herself gracefully vs her mother, who simply has no idea how to behave- and acts like she is on a trashy reality show.
Such a disgrace. Shameless.
And absolutely rude, just humiliated herself and her whole family on national and international level. 🤦♀️
I definitely need to see the end of this episode 😮😮
Mom is so hurtful and the bride looks absolutely stunning!
Mom is so rude and no shame either. Mom also needs to take a comb to that hair.
Is her mom jealous??? 👀👀 mom needs to leave the appointment. Bride LOOKS STUNNING
