I noticed everyone saying the interviewer wasn't good but I thought she worked well with the young lady to make her feel comfortable, which is important because we saw what happens when she gets tensed or uncomfortable. God bless this young lady either way, she did go threw a lot to be so young.
Tony Lassiter, bravo bravo 👏🏾. You spoke volume ... & not only that.... but she’s getting that interview , with the young lady . “Somebody has too.” 🤷🏽♀️
Her father is always by her side. I’m so happy how he is there protecting her. I pray that she succeeds in anything she wants to accomplish. She’s so strong and beautiful!!!
Carmen B she did on Iyanna show and I know the mother was wrong but I bet if they do a story or movie on her real mom and dad she might’ve been rescued
Its amazing to see kamiya's eyes keeping the interviewer in check.. like girl don 't even try to ask the wrong questions cuz I'm gonna mess you up ! Loool ! What a crazy interview
She is actually good. In my opinion. You have to approach different people different ways and create the tone and environment you want. Also most of interviews have probably been serious and sad so she wants it different. Smiling laughing is ok.
The interviewer zero professionalism a pure joke. Kamiyah on fast track to self destruction jail , drugs or death period. It's up to her if a short ride or long.
Betsy Completely....after seeing how she flipped on Iyanla Vanzant...I am concerned that more moments will come...if she is not in ongoing therapy to process this sudden shift in her life...
Kamiyah was brainwashed by her crazy mom to believe dat she was her daughter her mom stole her identity and her biological family bio daughter she could be have known her bio family if dat bitch wouldn't have stole her @ birth she messed up kamiyah Mobley her family will never forgive her kidnapper for stealing their daughter
Her real mom is feeling it more knowing she is getting less time with her and she is who she needs to be close with ,I really feel bad for all this mess created by this selfish woman
Natasha Parkinson i was just curious as to why in all the interviews where is bio mom? Maybe they keep having friction because of the way bio mom feels about kidnapper .
fully bad Shw wss beyond selfish, she stills somebody elses baby just to keep a man that really did'nt want her an the first place because he still left her.
Conflict: she says she is holding up better than people expect and further in the interview she couldn't define who she is. Denial. She does need help.
The interviewer is really disconnected from reality and she's in need of therapy herself. She's acting like the girl just got back from an Alaskan Adventure. She went through a significant trauma that is going to affect her for the rest of her life. The sad thing about it is that with most victims of traumatic trauma especially ongoing it often takes years before they realize the effects that it has upon them. It's like the layers of an onion being peeled away slowly and meticulously. Ask me how I know. This young lady is going to need years of therapy to even get some semblance of healing once it begins to really set in on her what took place. Just her going on iyanla was just a small peek into what happened but even from then she still hasn't really gotten it. That was kind of just to turn the lights on. But ongoing therapy as another person commented is absolutely needed. This is one of the saddest things I've ever seen in modern day. Additionally, This entire interview was tragic and it should have never happened. Some people don't need to have these types of jobs this is a complete disgrace.
I am Talako (Gray Eagle In The Sky) thank you!!! I 100% agree with this comment. The interviewer aggravated me the whole time. The tone, the way she refers to the abductor, the laughter... everything was dead wrong and upsetting. This is a dumb interview. And the way the girl said she's doing it for her dad🤦🏾♀️
This poor baby is in denial. She needs help. I feel so bad for her. The lady thats interviewing her keeps laughing but aint shit funny. Her whole life is unside down right now so all she can do is joke to keep from crying. Its alot of thinga she dont wanna talk about because it hurts
The interviewer is really trying to kiss up to her because she’s walking on eggshells afraid to ask certain questions... and her dad looks creepy in the back lmbo 😂😂
Nina La Bella girl yesss!! That girl doesn’t want to talk at all when it comes to that! Smh I think it hurts but she doesn’t want to think about it because it hurts too bad, so she gets angry when someone tries to make her talk! Smh sad
I Like the confidence she has in herself, she is a very positive & strong young lady you can tell that by how she answers the questions she's being asked.
The woman behind bars could put an end to the relationship by just not talking to Alexis.... the woman stole her and just because she stole her doesn’t mean that she’s her mother!
Exactly she the kidnapper is the key to kamiyah accepting her birt mom. She stole everything from this birth mom. She has no rights to this child and if she loves this young lady she will severe ties and set her free.
I agree its so much tension in that room and the daddy acting as if he doesn't even see whats happening. Also why would you agree to an interview on your (dad) birthday....that should be family time and no one should be able to invade on that time.. Omg
I understand why the interviewer took this approach....it's a sensitive, traumatic situation so she didn't want to make it too depressing for the girl...but I don't agree with how it was handled....the situation is NOT at all funny....you can be compassionate and gentle but none of what happened is a joke by any means.
Praying that she get the help she needs. GOD touch her mind and body Lord give her a clean heart and a clean mind. Lord allow her to have respect for my parents.
She's just saying what she has to in order to get through this interview, this whole interview seems fake... she is a ticking time bomb ! I can see it in her eyes .. this lady is talking to her like she is 5 years old
Pamela Morris what can't y'all just move on she having a ruff time you would do the same thing if you found out your mom that you lived with wasn't your mother and cameras are all up in your face the show should have realized that.
GENESSI Truly Iyanla was making things worse all she know is the lady who took her because that lady loved her and raised her so that's something she will never forget and basically Iyanla want her to only think about her birth mother
Tamz World fact it’s as they only gave her a year for every year she had the child but if you ask me I feel she should’ve got life in prison for real I’m a mother for god sakes let someone try to take my child most likely I’m gonna kill myself this shit crazy
She should have gotten life . She robbed that mother of 18 years with her child and she is still behaving as a criminal by robbing her and her birth mother a chance to bond . The judge should order her to stay away from the kidnapper .
It’s so sad cuz this girl apparently doesn’t have a relationship with her biological mom but she does have one with her biological father.. How painful for her biological mother who has no fault in this situation and is still being traumatized by this situation because Kamiya/Alexis is basically horrible acting toward her. I know it’s been hard on this child and has loyalty to her kidnapper but the lady who gave birth to her has been totally disregarded by this young lady. They should make a movie called ‘I was Kamiya, First’ The Alexis Manigo story Praying for everyone 😞🙏
Because she is not willing to let go of the one in prison and her mother is so angry she says my mother .....no no she is not your mother ....she took you from me and i was in eternal pain and it hurts me when you say mother i am your mother and Kamala didnt like that and we all know shes a ticking time bom and that lady is all she knew and even though she knows what she did was wrong she still loved and accepted her apparently the mother couldnt deal with that
sidonnie parrish exactly u said it! I saw the court testimony..And I fear for this young lady.. I also saw her on the Iyanla Fix My Life show It’s on UA-cam And she is very angry.. I hope she doesn’t explode some day and gets the counseling she so desperately needs
ANGELLY i think iyanla tried to throw too much on her too soon into the healing and she didnt like that iyanla brought things out too blunt bringing up memories she tries to block out and she was throwing up walls protecting this other lady she called mommy and that made Kamala angry i thought she was being very disrespectful to iyanla who could have been her mom her situation is waaaaaay too deep for iyanla i hope she really gets the counseling she needs ....
ANGELLY that’s exactlyyy what I said. How do you have a relationship with your biological father but not your mother but the problem with you not having their relationship with your mother is because you’re not communicating to her how you want to address the situation and instead you’re letting her just go about things in her own way instead of telling her what you would like. She won’t know how to deal with you if you don’t tell her. Communication is key in this situation like a lotttttt. Because of the type of separation this was.
I do understand the loyalty to the mother she has always known as mom, it is a hard thing for her mother to bear. Give her time, space, love and allow her to grow into the person she will be. When she is older she will understand the pain her mother had to bear and is still suffering with and maybe she can find a space of grace and will be able to share this wonderful young lady. And yes, please say I’m sorry to Ilanya and leave it there. Look forward, move on and live your life.
I don't think she's angry. I think this interview focused more on the positivity and accepting the fact that she wants to be connected to the mother who raised her. Iyanla got the business because she forced the point of you need to choose one identity over another and one family over another. A forced choice would make the adults comfortable and safe but would rip her whole life and identity apart. If everyone truly has her best interest at heart they should just let her be and settle into accepting herself and the people she's connected to. That's the best way to facilitate healing and I think we see that in this interview.
Cece Bebe true but at the same time she doesn’t know who she is. She has to talk about how she feels and stop holding back . After all that happens she’s definitely holding back.
Cece Bebe agreed. I cannot imagine how surreal it is to wake up one day and find out you are a completely different person than you thought you were. That's enough to cause the most adult person to fall apart. The best way to deal with it is to allow her to come to grips with it in her own time and decide who she wants to be. It should be up to Alexis Kamiyah to decide. She can choose to be both because she is both. To choose Kamiyah would be to erase who she had grown up identifying herself as and leaving no foundation to fall back on. I think she is on the right tract in merging both sides of herself into one, her past life and her future life.
There has to be some fun in this?? REALLY!! This young lady has NO identiry, there's nothing "fun" about that. Kamiyah is so sad and is suppressing her emotions. I pray she's emotionally healed from the damage she's suffered.
Yes her pain is so deep and she is so afraid but I will say there are levels to healing just as there are levels to dealing with death you have anger, denial, bargaining, depression and acceptance and K has to go thorough an actual spiritual death and she has to get through all these stages and no one knows how long she will need in each stage. So we definitely need a lot of love and patience with some guidance. She won't be able to do it alone. #TooPainful
You can tell this lady is new to the game of interviewing clearly. I think she set boundaries with her. Iyanla seen through the cute & brought her true colors out. It was unsettling.
She will break soon enough. She don't know who she is , she don't want to talk about her mom, she don't want to deal with her past. Well what the hell?
alwaysequal2013 I mean she was 18 when it first happened. And 19 when she did this interview. What 18-20 year old do you know that knows who they are truly. The trial was fresh and she might just needs one by herself to shift through all of her feelings.
When she has a child or children of her own, then she will understand what her birth mother is going through. The woman that kidnapped her was not a God-fearing woman no decent human being would put anyone through this torcher. I will pray that this young lady gives her birth mother a chance and the birth mother needs to be patient.
@@sandrapeterson9733 I am wondering if the woman who kidnapped her had postpartum mental health issues. It was terrible to see the birth mother crying and in shambles after she stole her child.
I don't think the interviewer realizes that this girl's situation is serious so this interview is very uncomfortable to watch. There is nothing funny about her situation. The reality is she was kidnapped and that is a crime.
Ask fluff questions and she is ok. Get "real" with her and we will see what we saw on Iylanya. Noticed how she cut the interviewer off when she asked about Gloria.
M. Moon Yes you are right but it takes time...she’s not going to get there over night! She needs a professional though not ppl trying to get attention off of it
I would of been so angry at my "mom" if I found out she stole me and lied to me the entire time my respect and love I built to that point would go away in a matter of seconds
On my soul I said the same thing fuxk that lady she brainwashed her with love and that’s not right ...she lost and still calling her mom she said axx fuxk and her daddy soft axx shit
@@07kennels51 nah honestly I would still love my mom honestly depends how she was raised my mom raised me good and gave me a great life I’d still love her and appreciate what she has done for me throughout my life but I would also want to meet my bio mom and reconnect with that side of my family
Kimberly Cosby It's kinda like she is sugar coating things. She's not being totally honest about how she really feels. To go through something that devastating couldn't have you feeling like everything is so lovely and peachy! I think they should stop interviewing her and let her get proper counseling so she can deal with her true feelings. I can only imagine what is HONESTLY going on in her head. I feel bad for this baby.
A God fearing woman doesn't kidnap a child. Most people that get incarcerated are quick to cry/call/claim they've been God fearing, its natural to say but WE AMERICA Know the truth about the kidnapper, Its sad really.
She’s coping with what has happened in her life and her situation the best way she can, but if she doesn’t deal with the trauma eventually, it’s going to deal with her. God bless her, I hope she finally seeks/receives the help she truly needs.
The interviewer did an excellent job making Kamiyalexis feel comfortable with being her whole self with 3 moms and a father. Salute to you amazing woman because Iyanla just ripped open wounds that the victim didn't agree to have opened in the manner it was done in. This interview was informative and appropriate. Well done. 👌
It was Iyanla's JOB to offer healing which, by the way, was REQUESTED by this Kamiyalexis and her biological family. This woman is a superficial journalist just covering a personal interest story. It's what Oprah used to do on local news BEFORE she went into the substantive stuff of her show. Huge difference in intent and, therefore, outcomes.
Everybody talking down on her because of something they saw on a reality show. This young lady went through a life altering event and is so young. She’s doing amazing to say she’s had all these transitions. So all you trolls can stop it!!
She is wonderful and exceptional..a strong soul.. she has the ability to help others.. she seems to have accepted what has happened..she is easy to love..everyone should just love her..she was born to be special.. I don’t know her personally .. and I have 9 children.. and I love her and I am proud of her..don’t ever change for other people.. you already know who you are.. and you are wonderful..you are loved by many people because you are a special young lady..I wish you the best... please love her and admire her she is able to heal herself and heal others.. I love you young lady.
She acts like she has been brainwashed . Well I guess so since she has been living a lie about who she told she was. She needs to apologize for that outburst.She is ticking time bomb... bad attitude
It saddens me that the biological mother is going through so much pain. I wish Kamiyah and the biological father could understand that mom's role was replaced for 18 years, not dad's and it's heartbreaking to see Kamiyah praise Gloria over her biological mom. That's why the relationship is so rocky. They ALL need individual counseling because so many emotions are hidden that needs to come out. It's my hope that the biological parents can one day be thankful that Gloria did a good job raising Kamiyah and not make her feel bad for still wanting to keep that relationship.
This interview was irritating. After what I witnessed on Iyanla fix my life... this girl has serious psychiatric needs. Nice of them to try but no ma'am she disrespectful as hell.
I had many traumas during my childhood and no one ever knew what was going on with me. I spent all of my childhood acting just like her. I was cheerful and positive and fun to be around. I was swallowing every real emotion I had in response to the trauma and living with my violators daily. No one ever knew that I was going through anything. But if, for my benefit, someone wanted me to get in touch with my true feelings and wouldn't let me get away with pretending I was fine all that came out of her would have come out of me. Of course she is angry, hurt, confused, broken but that's not who she is it's what she has to do to keep from loosing her mind. She can't do it alone and her birth family is doing her a disservice by pretending everything is ok. She's in deep trauma and needs lots of professional help and a family that are willing to do their hard work and support her through her hard work. You're going to lose her. Emotionally or even physically.
@@standdown4929 Her "counselor" deliberately pushed her buttons telling her her bf and father were given an "assignment" not to take her calls and she was supposed to stay overnight in the "womb." She needed one of them to drive her home and she had a major hissy fit because she didn't want to stay the night. I doubt she suffers. from deep trauma because during her formative years she had a loving mother and father and only at age 18 did she learn she was kidnapped by her non-biological mother. She did suffer some trauma after learning her parents were not her biological parents, but not anything that will stop her from succeeding in life.
@standdown4929 There's another side to everyone , some people are able to accept and adjust ... nobody wants to dwell, life is too short, and stress kills, so WHY DWELL ON THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF YOUR CONTROL ???? as many times as she's talked about it and as much feedback she's received, i would consider that therapy. Besides, i'm sure if she hasn't, when she's ready, she'll speak. Everyone has their time , let her be she's on gods watch not ours
Magickal Lady Duchess I thought I was the only one. Everything about the interview was weird, from the father acting childish in the background to the young lady's nonchalant attitude. But, may god bless the situation, that is all.
I don't understand how she is supposed to act, people took one interview and branded her as a horrible person. Kids get the shit beat out of them and still love their parents so you can imagine if she had a great life from birth how she could stop loving her kidnapper.
This must have been taped prior to Iyanla's show. She came off as an innocent kid, but underneath she's a straight up gangster. Don't let the cute face & laugh fool you!!
When she said her fake mom was a god fearing person I would have said “so you think that a god fearing person would have done what she did?” 🤔 this lady went to sleep every night for all these years knowing what she did. That is not a god fearing person she is the devil
the guy in the back, gave the finger??? is this a professional setup or not? this girl seem like she is literally ready to snap at any moment. Her aggression has nothing to do with the kidnapping, which she is completely okay with, her "mom" raised her that way. How is she meshing with this gangsta attitude and lack of direction? They probably scared.
A time will come when this young lady has a child of her own and realizes what her kidnaper did and that will be the day she doesn’t call her mom. She may have been well cared for by the kidnapper but that doesn’t change the fact she stole so many years from her. I’m glad she got as many years as she did in prison. She deserved more. She took advantage of a 16yr old teenager and forever changed her life. Kamiya has a bright future ahead of her but before she succeeds she’s gonna have to confront her kidnapper and get angry with her. She’s gonna have to to move forward and truly have healing.
Weirdest interview I've seen. The interviewer asked a question, she declined to answer. The interviewer asked again, she answered? She's not listening, just talking. She is eating her way through, SMH. She'll look up and weigh 250 if she's not careful
It's just terribly sad that even after all that Kamiyahs birth mom has been through, Kamiyah still leans more toward the kidnapper. I know that this woman was all she knew for 18 years, but she is just very selfish. I think she is going to need extensive counseling because she really acts like nothing is wrong. When I saw her curse Iyanla out_I knew the nice, smiling girl wasn't as sweet as she wants people to think. Sad story
The fact that she through the hospital for her documents instead of simply calling her birth mother shows you how completely Gloria broke that unbreakable bond between bio mother & child.
In 2019, Gloria Williams appealed to have her sentence reduced, according to First Coast News. She self-filed the appeal and called the 18 years "cruel and unusual punishment" that was "disproportionate" to the crime she committed. Her appeal was denied. The nerve of this wicked woman.
she needs to understand the pain her real mother went through you can't take that pain away not having your child or just thinking about if ya child is alive or not..father's handle pain different then a mother but a woman who had to carry'd a child for 9 months it's not easy to just let what happened go. even if the women who took her and now in jail, it's like she still won because she still consider that woman as mom..so real mother is like well then let her have her I'm not going to have no communication with her because now it's like even tho she birth her she don't no anything about her.. this is sad.
Musst be heartbreaking 💔 for her biological Mom 😢She would be so relieved her daughter is found but hesrtbroken the bond her daughter has with her kidnapper. I hope god protects them all and helos with healing. ✝️ 🙏 🤲 ❤
It's sad to see so many judgmental adults speak so lowly of a young girl who has experienced so much public pain. No empathy. I'm seriously in disbelief...
Sad situation. It sounds like she has a lot of loyalty toward her kidnapper/captor. I get it, to her it's the only mother figure she knew but at what point do you look at this person and understand what really happened and what devastating effects those actions took on both sides. Maybe it's easier to deal with for her but I'm sure it creates pain for her real family. There will be a day when she will reflect on what happened, but that's not today.
Yes..this girl need therapy there is no way a 18 yr old can process all this I'm much older and don't think I could...i just pray when reality sat in she will have someone there for her ...she has a long way to go and gonna need a lot of support but,with God all things are possible💝
It's sounds like the lady was good to her That's why it's going to time for her to really understand everything Have to remember she's young Wait one day she's going to be a Mother. She'll understand more, she's strong and positive I'm pray she stays that way..
She cannot be of God fearing woman and continue to commit a crime for 20 years. She is confused about religion, to be forgiven you have to repent and stop doing what you did.
My children and I saw you in Walterboro at CitiTrends...I wanted so badly to just come hug you because you're such a jéwel but I found myself fighting tears because after all you've encountered you're a very remarkable young lady...God bless you and all your families
It is very hard for people to understand who Alexis is. She is smart, beautiful, and strong. She did not go through any physical or emotional trauma at birth, because she was kidnapped when she was only 8 hours old. And the woman who kidnapped her loved her. She did not form a bond with her biological mom. It is sad, but Gloria is her mom. Gloria gave her, her first bath, her first kiss, her constant embrace, and love. A child's formative years are from 0 -14. Gloria formed her. Gloria is her mom. This is very sad, but it is like a person adopting a newborn. She has no attachment to the person who gave birth to her. She is totally attached to the person who raised her from birth. It is normal. What Gloria did was totally despicable but we cannot force her to hate her mom. Her mom is Gloria. We cannot cut Gloria out of Alexis' life, that will damage Alexis more. Alexis is behaving perfectly normally. She is aware that Gloria committed a crime, but she cannot reject Gloria because Gloria is her mom. I sympathize with her biological mom, and what she went through was horrific, but the truth of the situation is that this is really complex and involves humans emotions which is not easily explained. Gloria nurtured Alexis from birth to adulthood and is the only mother that Alexis knew. It is a sad situation, but Alexis is incapable of hating Gloria and will always protect her. Alexis knows who she is. She is the daughter of the woman who raised her from birth to adulthood and it will go against her nature to hate Gloria, her mother. The girl is behaving normally. The hands that rock the cradle rules the world. Gloria's hands, changed Alexis's diapers, fed her, rocked her, bathed her, love her. Alexis is Gloria's daughter. Please give the girl a break, she is no ticking time bomb, she is a normal, loving young girl who is caught up in a situation, where humans are forcing her to bite the hands that fed her and loved her and she can't. God will help her to accept her biological mom but she will never reject Gloria, the kidnapper because that is the woman who nurtured her past and has prepared her for the future. Let us all pray that the girl will be fine. And Alexis, if you ever become a lawyer, I will be cheering you on. God bless you, Alexis.
Her bio mother has a bad attitude and that's probably where she gets her attitude from... On Iyana she said her bio mom curses at her and hangs up in her face and refused to get counseling with the rest of the family
She needs to give an apology to Iyanla. She also needs to see her daddy for what he really is. He sees her as a way to better his life financially. I'm sure he's not presenting it that way. Oh and meshing, she acts like them.
The entire interview was very forced and awkward. I was uncomfortable just watching it... Praying for this beautiful young woman and everyone involved.
I noticed everyone saying the interviewer wasn't good but I thought she worked well with the young lady to make her feel comfortable, which is important because we saw what happens when she gets tensed or uncomfortable. God bless this young lady either way, she did go threw a lot to be so young.
Best comment here I could not imagine what she's feeling god bless you.
Tony Lassiter, bravo bravo 👏🏾. You spoke volume ... & not only that.... but she’s getting that interview , with the young lady . “Somebody has too.” 🤷🏽♀️
Tony Lassiter I agree.
She absolutely did. This young lady is is very intelligent as well. I see a bright future for her
Tony Lassiter yes
Her father is always by her side. I’m so happy how he is there protecting her. I pray that she succeeds in anything she wants to accomplish. She’s so strong and beautiful!!!
The only thing that I did not like was when the daddy took her to a club and had her drinking,
Why is the interviewer laughing so hard 🙄 nothing’s funny about the situation
Malosja Mschell rite seems a lil phony
Malosja Mschell The Interviewer is laughing so hard because that's a Nervous laugh.She's walking on eggshells.(scared)
Malosja Mschell EXACTLY just stupid!!
Malosja Mschell u gotta laugh to keep from crying
The laugh the interviewer is given is fake she don't want to piss Kamiyah off..You know she slap and stab b****for less...
She needs therapy bad. It like she blocks that part out. Never want to talks about. She gonna bust one day
Carmen B she already did on Lylana's show.
She has rejected it from Iyanla and called her a bitch.
God sit high and he look low 🤣🤣🤣
Nah she’s good she ain’t white
Carmen B she did on Iyanna show and I know the mother was wrong but I bet if they do a story or movie on her real mom and dad she might’ve been rescued
Its amazing to see kamiya's eyes keeping the interviewer in check.. like girl don 't even try to ask the wrong questions cuz I'm gonna mess you up ! Loool ! What a crazy interview
This interviewer is just strange. Bad questions and laughing weirdly.
She's doing that because she knows she wants to ask questions she not ready to deal with, and she saw how she blew up🤣🤣
She is actually good. In my opinion. You have to approach different people different ways and create the tone and environment you want. Also most of interviews have probably been serious and sad so she wants it different. Smiling laughing is ok.
She is helping her relax. It's an easier interview when you create good energy. She can ask more questions. She is asking good questions.
What a pretty girl! But some ongoing therapy much needed, she experienced something so unusual.
Betsy she get that therapy she'll be alright pretty girl keep doing what you do girll
The interviewer zero professionalism a pure joke. Kamiyah on fast track to self destruction jail , drugs or death period. It's up to her if a short ride or long.
Betsy Completely....after seeing how she flipped on Iyanla Vanzant...I am concerned that more moments will come...if she is not in ongoing therapy to process this sudden shift in her life...
She does need therapy I agree wit you she was violent on iyanla show she dont know ho to identify herself as her name is kamiyah mobley
Kamiyah was brainwashed by her crazy mom to believe dat she was her daughter her mom stole her identity and her biological family bio daughter she could be have known her bio family if dat bitch wouldn't have stole her @ birth she messed up kamiyah Mobley her family will never forgive her kidnapper for stealing their daughter
She's a beautiful positive young lady. GOD Bless her🙏🏽
This is the FAKEST AND MOST UNCOMFORTABLE INTERVIEW I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE INTERVIEWER NEEDS TO STOP.
ineway I saw it the same way! This girl is a ticking time bomb!
She’s the sweetest thing !! She is so balance I really love this teenage I wish for her a sweet life!
A god fearing mother wko kidnapped and raised a child without any remorse? Cant wrap my mind around that
Latrice Johnson rite, what God is she praying to because nothing about that is God Like
Latrice Johnson I agree with You, really puzzled
Latrice Johnson I use to be gay and God still loved me. I grew. I learned
🗣🗣help me understand that.
they call anyone God fearing who goes to church
That reporter got to go!!! With her fake fraud forced laugh
Poor baby laughing off her pain... what ever works
Exactly
Tashima Stanton can’t be sad about it all day everyday an beat her self up just like I had to overcome getting kidnapped an raped
Her real mom is feeling it more knowing she is getting less time with her and she is who she needs to be close with ,I really feel bad for all this mess created by this selfish woman
Natasha Parkinson i was just curious as to why in all the interviews where is bio mom? Maybe they keep having friction because of the way bio mom feels about kidnapper .
p t I agree ,that could be the reason why
fully bad Shw wss beyond selfish, she stills somebody elses baby just to keep a man that really did'nt want her an the first place because he still left her.
im confused, who is the 3rd moma ? she got tha kidnapping moma & thaa real moma but whos the 3rd moma they keep bringing up
You don't automatically love someone because they birthed you that's not how it works she doesn't know eny other mom than her (the womon ind prison)
She's Beautiful🥀& smart. Im praying☝️for this Beautiful' Queen, may she have a full & prosperous future moving forward.
NYC LADIBUG lmfao go watch her in the lyanla vids and see how you feel about her after that.
This is such a cute comment!
Conflict: she says she is holding up better than people expect and further in the interview she couldn't define who she is. Denial. She does need help.
Very much so smh
I give her a pass on that define who she is part. At 19 if you define to me who you are, I'm going to call you on your b.s. no matter what.
The interviewer is really disconnected from reality and she's in need of therapy herself. She's acting like the girl just got back from an Alaskan Adventure. She went through a significant trauma that is going to affect her for the rest of her life. The sad thing about it is that with most victims of traumatic trauma especially ongoing it often takes years before they realize the effects that it has upon them. It's like the layers of an onion being peeled away slowly and meticulously. Ask me how I know. This young lady is going to need years of therapy to even get some semblance of healing once it begins to really set in on her what took place. Just her going on iyanla was just a small peek into what happened but even from then she still hasn't really gotten it. That was kind of just to turn the lights on. But ongoing therapy as another person commented is absolutely needed. This is one of the saddest things I've ever seen in modern day. Additionally, This entire interview was tragic and it should have never happened. Some people don't need to have these types of jobs this is a complete disgrace.
I am Talako (Gray Eagle In The Sky)Alaskan Adventure🤣🤣🤣🤣
i think she is acting to make her at ease with the interview
I am Talako (Gray Eagle In The Sky) thank you!!! I 100% agree with this comment. The interviewer aggravated me the whole time. The tone, the way she refers to the abductor, the laughter... everything was dead wrong and upsetting. This is a dumb interview. And the way the girl said she's doing it for her dad🤦🏾♀️
This poor baby is in denial. She needs help. I feel so bad for her. The lady thats interviewing her keeps laughing but aint shit funny. Her whole life is unside down right now so all she can do is joke to keep from crying. Its alot of thinga she dont wanna talk about because it hurts
Nita Wilson she’s not in denial she just isn’t focused on the negative part of it she’s moving forward
Foreal 😟
Denial. Positive but still denial.
bailey bailey no she isnt you're not in her shoes.
I don’t know why the interviewer wanted to keep everything light and fluffy, very weird.
The interviewer is really trying to kiss up to her because she’s walking on eggshells afraid to ask certain questions... and her dad looks creepy in the back lmbo 😂😂
Poison Ivory Right did u hear the demon voice come out when she said “I don’t wanna talk about that”😳
Nina La Bella girl yesss!! That girl doesn’t want to talk at all when it comes to that! Smh I think it hurts but she doesn’t want to think about it because it hurts too bad, so she gets angry when someone tries to make her talk! Smh sad
Karceno 4Life
Poison Ivory RIGHT!!!
Poison Ivory Exactly! Plus, I think she was given instructions...
I Like the confidence she has in herself, she is a very positive & strong young lady you can tell that by how she answers the questions she's being asked.
The woman behind bars could put an end to the relationship by just not talking to Alexis.... the woman stole her and just because she stole her doesn’t mean that she’s her mother!
mashadasha Preach!
Exactly she the kidnapper is the key to kamiyah accepting her birt mom. She stole everything from this birth mom. She has no rights to this child and if she loves this young lady she will severe ties and set her free.
That would be punishing Alexis/Kamiyah instead of Gloria. It's unfortunate but Gloria is her anchor.
The interviewer is scared
Mini Pretty ikr you can tell the producer was like keep her happy, she fake laughing at everything she saying wow
Lol to death
I agree its so much tension in that room and the daddy acting as if he doesn't even see whats happening. Also why would you agree to an interview on your (dad) birthday....that should be family time and no one should be able to invade on that time.. Omg
I understand why the interviewer took this approach....it's a sensitive, traumatic situation so she didn't want to make it too depressing for the girl...but I don't agree with how it was handled....the situation is NOT at all funny....you can be compassionate and gentle but none of what happened is a joke by any means.
She is so articulate and mature I love her composure
Praying that she get the help she needs. GOD touch her mind and body Lord give her a clean heart and a clean mind. Lord allow her to have respect for my parents.
She's just saying what she has to in order to get through this interview, this whole interview seems fake... she is a ticking time bomb ! I can see it in her eyes .. this lady is talking to her like she is 5 years old
Ashleylovee xo cuse she is 5
Hype Somuch whoa you psycho for real
Yes I agree, I thought the whole interview is fake af
She's fine.
This interview went by so smoothly because no one spoke about her behavior on the Iyana show.
Cause this happened before
Pamela Morris what can't y'all just move on she having a ruff time you would do the same thing if you found out your mom that you lived with wasn't your mother and cameras are all up in your face the show should have realized that.
After watching the Iyanla episode I see her very different now. She’s just so disrespectful it seems.
GENESSI Truly Iyanla was making things worse all she know is the lady who took her because that lady loved her and raised her so that's something she will never forget and basically Iyanla want her to only think about her birth mother
Neither of you know what the hell you are talking about!
Reality shows are scripted. Don't be fooled.
GENESSI can u blame her she was raised as her kidnappers child not her biologicals mother life
yea me 2....i dont feel sorry anymore dont even look at stories on her anymore....2 disrespectful...no dam training
...The interviewer is NOT a professional...smh. She's SILLY!.....
monae stewart this comment hit me hard. She is trying to be nice and it's coming across as childish and silly, much like myself!
monae stewart she’s probably scared of being cursed out and threatened 😕
Her voice sound kinda like Fantasia
Amanda Louis ...NOT Kamiyah! The interviewer IS Silly.
MiamiPush2theLimit ...NOT Kamiyah! The interviewer IS Silly.
18 years in prison fits the crime and that’s exactly what she got 👌🏽
Tamz World fact it’s as they only gave her a year for every year she had the child but if you ask me I feel she should’ve got life in prison for real I’m a mother for god sakes let someone try to take my child most likely I’m gonna kill myself this shit crazy
To be honest it doesn't fit because she killed that lady which is the real mother. Not only that but the biological mother inside is dead.
She should have gotten life . She robbed that mother of 18 years with her child and she is still behaving as a criminal by robbing her and her birth mother a chance to bond . The judge should order her to stay away from the kidnapper .
She should’ve gotten life. Anyone that thinks it’s okay to kidnap a new born baby doesn’t deserve to live...at all
If a man had done this he would have gotten life and the courts would never let him speak to the kid again
It’s so sad cuz this girl apparently doesn’t have a relationship with her biological mom but she does have one with her biological father..
How painful for her biological mother who has no fault in this situation and is still being traumatized by this situation because Kamiya/Alexis is basically horrible acting toward her. I know it’s been hard on this child and has loyalty to her kidnapper but the lady who gave birth to her has been totally disregarded by this young lady.
They should make a movie called
‘I was Kamiya, First’
The Alexis Manigo story
Praying for everyone 😞🙏
ANGELLY 200% agree.
Because she is not willing to let go of the one in prison and her mother is so angry she says my mother .....no no she is not your mother ....she took you from me and i was in eternal pain and it hurts me when you say mother i am your mother and Kamala didnt like that and we all know shes a ticking time bom and that lady is all she knew and even though she knows what she did was wrong she still loved and accepted her apparently the mother couldnt deal with that
sidonnie parrish exactly u said it! I saw the court testimony..And I fear for this young lady.. I also saw her on the Iyanla Fix My Life show
It’s on UA-cam
And she is very angry.. I hope she doesn’t explode some day and gets the counseling she so desperately needs
ANGELLY i think iyanla tried to throw too much on her too soon into the healing and she didnt like that iyanla brought things out too blunt bringing up memories she tries to block out and she was throwing up walls protecting this other lady she called mommy and that made Kamala angry i thought she was being very disrespectful to iyanla who could have been her mom her situation is waaaaaay too deep for iyanla i hope she really gets the counseling she needs ....
ANGELLY that’s exactlyyy what I said. How do you have a relationship with your biological father but not your mother but the problem with you not having their relationship with your mother is because you’re not communicating to her how you want to address the situation and instead you’re letting her just go about things in her own way instead of telling her what you would like. She won’t know how to deal with you if you don’t tell her. Communication is key in this situation like a lotttttt. Because of the type of separation this was.
I do understand the loyalty to the mother she has always known as mom, it is a hard thing for her mother to bear. Give her time, space, love and allow her to grow into the person she will be. When she is older she will understand the pain her mother had to bear and is still suffering with and maybe she can find a space of grace and will be able to share this wonderful young lady. And yes, please say I’m sorry to Ilanya and leave it there. Look forward, move on and live your life.
Gloria Williams is still selfish. If she truly loved Kamiyah she would set her free.
By then it may be too late
I don't think she's angry. I think this interview focused more on the positivity and accepting the fact that she wants to be connected to the mother who raised her. Iyanla got the business because she forced the point of you need to choose one identity over another and one family over another. A forced choice would make the adults comfortable and safe but would rip her whole life and identity apart. If everyone truly has her best interest at heart they should just let her be and settle into accepting herself and the people she's connected to. That's the best way to facilitate healing and I think we see that in this interview.
Cece Bebe well said! 😀
Cece Bebe true but at the same time she doesn’t know who she is. She has to talk about how she feels and stop holding back . After all that happens she’s definitely holding back.
I agree. Finally someone is making sense. Iyanla was rough with her words and pushy.
IGBOYORUBAHausaNaija IGBO very pushy
Cece Bebe agreed. I cannot imagine how surreal it is to wake up one day and find out you are a completely different person than you thought you were. That's enough to cause the most adult person to fall apart. The best way to deal with it is to allow her to come to grips with it in her own time and decide who she wants to be. It should be up to Alexis Kamiyah to decide. She can choose to be both because she is both. To choose Kamiyah would be to erase who she had grown up identifying herself as and leaving no foundation to fall back on. I think she is on the right tract in merging both sides of herself into one, her past life and her future life.
There has to be some fun in this?? REALLY!! This young lady has NO identiry, there's nothing "fun" about that. Kamiyah is so sad and is suppressing her emotions. I pray she's emotionally healed from the damage she's suffered.
I agree
Exactly
Yes her pain is so deep and she is so afraid but I will say there are levels to healing just as there are levels to dealing with death you have anger, denial, bargaining, depression and acceptance and K has to go thorough an actual spiritual death and she has to get through all these stages and no one knows how long she will need in each stage. So we definitely need a lot of love and patience with some guidance. She won't be able to do it alone. #TooPainful
You can tell this lady is new to the game of interviewing clearly. I think she set boundaries with her. Iyanla seen through the cute & brought her true colors out. It was unsettling.
She is very pretty
VERY
Did she act in the movie? Because that actress looks like her so much.
On the outside.
@@simoneb6711 no she didn’t
This baby needs help.
She has so much potential . I hope she becomes a productive member of society.
Shes too much of a bitch. Shes too weak to accept the truth. I dont like her.
Lmfao 😂
She will break soon enough. She don't know who she is , she don't want to talk about her mom, she don't want to deal with her past. Well what the hell?
alwaysequal2013 I mean she was 18 when it first happened. And 19 when she did this interview. What 18-20 year old do you know that knows who they are truly. The trial was fresh and she might just needs one by herself to shift through all of her feelings.
Whatever
I cant imagine finding out such a life altering situation and to move forward. As she matures she will see everything for what it is
R.S. Ray-ez I'm thinking the same thing
When she has a child or children of her own, then she will understand what her birth mother is going through. The woman that kidnapped her was not a God-fearing woman no decent human being would put anyone through this torcher. I will pray that this young lady gives her birth mother a chance and the birth mother needs to be patient.
@@sandrapeterson9733 I am wondering if the woman who kidnapped her had postpartum mental health issues. It was terrible to see the birth mother crying and in shambles after she stole her child.
I don't think the interviewer realizes that this girl's situation is serious so this interview is very uncomfortable to watch. There is nothing funny about her situation. The reality is she was kidnapped and that is a crime.
This shows her in a much better light than Iyana! She’s healing and growing and ppl need to stop judging this young lady so hard!
MsSerenity Smith pls!
MsSerenity Smith I disagree she needs to get help. She doesn't want to deal with what she's been through. Which is dangerous
Ask fluff questions and she is ok. Get "real" with her and we will see what we saw on Iylanya. Noticed how she cut the interviewer off when she asked about Gloria.
Shut up 🙄
M. Moon Yes you are right but it takes time...she’s not going to get there over night! She needs a professional though not ppl trying to get attention off of it
I would of been so angry at my "mom" if I found out she stole me and lied to me the entire time my respect and love I built to that point would go away in a matter of seconds
Instantly
On my soul I said the same thing fuxk that lady she brainwashed her with love and that’s not right ...she lost and still calling her mom she said axx fuxk and her daddy soft axx shit
@@07kennels51 nah honestly I would still love my mom honestly depends how she was raised my mom raised me good and gave me a great life I’d still love her and appreciate what she has done for me throughout my life but I would also want to meet my bio mom and reconnect with that side of my family
So you think
You don't know that
She is a very confused child
Kimberly Cosby It's kinda like she is sugar coating things. She's not being totally honest about how she really feels. To go through something that devastating couldn't have you feeling like everything is so lovely and peachy! I think they should stop interviewing her and let her get proper counseling so she can deal with her true feelings. I can only imagine what is HONESTLY going on in her head. I feel bad for this baby.
Kimberly Cosby that's to be expected with all the things she's been through.
It seems that she's still trying to adjust to life as it is now.
Kimberly Cosby seem like it right..she might be nervous
How old is she?
She reminds me of Shekinah Tiny's best friend
omg yes she does
nyquil zzz They have the same voice lol and I can't stand it 🙈
Oh my gosh! ON POINT!!! Lol
Just cause she talk like her??
nyquil zzz Wow She sure dose
It is such a shame NO ONE wants to be real and truthful with this young lady... I feel badly for this young lady. I'm sure money plays a huge role.
Iyana tried😖😖😖
@@sassibrit exactly
A God fearing woman doesn't kidnap a child. Most people that get incarcerated are quick to cry/call/claim they've been God fearing, its natural to say but WE AMERICA Know the truth about the kidnapper, Its sad really.
She didnt ask the right questions bad interview.
She watched fix my life she knew better
Dav Jr, this particular interview is old. This is "Kamiyah The entertainer" B4IFML (Before Iyanla Fixed My Life)
Nilaja Kamau oh really I didn't know that thanks for informing me
HOW ON EARTH CAN SHE LAUGH ABOUT HER HAVING THREE MOMS! THE KIDNAPPER IS NOT HER MOTHER! HOW CRUEL AND DISRESPECTFUL TO HER BIOLOGICAL PARENTS!
She was scared
She’s coping with what has happened in her life and her situation the best way she can, but if she doesn’t deal with the trauma eventually, it’s going to deal with her. God bless her, I hope she finally seeks/receives the help she truly needs.
Kamiyah can't deal with Gloria Williams kidnap because she is always in her ear.
This lady is talking to kamiyah like she is a child
Kiamiya has a child's mind...Her answers are like those of a 3rd grader
Derrick p She didn't sound like a 3rd grader when she cussed Iyanla out.
She acts like a child and the interviewer is trying to walk on egg shells
She is a child! She's only 19 years old.
A child is 12 and under at 19 you are considered to be a young adult. Maybe you talked like a 3yr old at 19 but most young adults dont!
The interviewer did an excellent job making Kamiyalexis feel comfortable with being her whole self with 3 moms and a father. Salute to you amazing woman because Iyanla just ripped open wounds that the victim didn't agree to have opened in the manner it was done in. This interview was informative and appropriate. Well done. 👌
It was Iyanla's JOB to offer healing which, by the way, was REQUESTED by this Kamiyalexis and her biological family. This woman is a superficial journalist just covering a personal interest story. It's what Oprah used to do on local news BEFORE she went into the substantive stuff of her show. Huge difference in intent and, therefore, outcomes.
Iyanla was not doing an interview. This lady was trying to keep it light.
@@Source293 That was not the right therapy for this girl apparently. The woman that kidnapped her is in need of therapy more than Lexi/Kamaiya.
@@loralieisa But, as we all know, the woman who kidnapped her wasn't the one presented to Iyanla.
Do the interviewer go to Washington Irving HS??
Kami you absolutely right continue to trust in JESUS for he is the ONLY one that can save u though the turmoil... Wishing you the best ! 💕
Hopefully she one day watches her Iyanla episode and issues an apology to Iyanla and her crew.
kstarrify She pushed her buttons🤷🏽♀️ I don’t blame her for getting upset, after all Iyanla stated tht she was trying to get tht reaction
@@qveen.kayy2030 Yes Towards her healing. But Yes we must be careful in what we ask for cause we just might get it !
Everybody talking down on her because of something they saw on a reality show. This young lady went through a life altering event and is so young. She’s doing amazing to say she’s had all these transitions. So all you trolls can stop it!!
The interviewer is weird.
😂😂😂😂😂
high af
I just think she was trying make her more comfortable
I think she didn't want to get cursed out...she knows this girl got a temper..lol😳
I'm cringing 😨😨😨 I can't watch this
She is wonderful and exceptional..a strong soul.. she has the ability to help others.. she seems to have accepted what has happened..she is easy to love..everyone should just love her..she was born to be special.. I don’t know her personally .. and I have 9 children.. and I love her and I am proud of her..don’t ever change for other people.. you already know who you are.. and you are wonderful..you are loved by many people because you are a special young lady..I wish you the best... please love her and admire her she is able to heal herself and heal others.. I love you young lady.
I love her to💕💕🥰😍✨✨💕💕
She acts like she has been brainwashed . Well I guess so since she has been living a lie about who she told she was. She needs to apologize for that outburst.She is ticking time bomb... bad attitude
dominickteaches Plot twist if this was fake and they brainwashed her to lie and then have a big movie come out about her.
K. Mill omg 😮 well anything is possible these days. You never know the media could be playing all of us
dominickteaches lol I didn't wan't to sound crae... but its just so weird.. so many years... Something doesn't seem to add up..
K. Mill exactly
It saddens me that the biological mother is going through so much pain. I wish Kamiyah and the biological father could understand that mom's role was replaced for 18 years, not dad's and it's heartbreaking to see Kamiyah praise Gloria over her biological mom. That's why the relationship is so rocky.
They ALL need individual counseling because so many emotions are hidden that needs to come out.
It's my hope that the biological parents can one day be thankful that Gloria did a good job raising Kamiyah and not make her feel bad for still wanting to keep that relationship.
This interview was irritating. After what I witnessed on Iyanla fix my life... this girl has serious psychiatric needs. Nice of them to try but no ma'am she disrespectful as hell.
be careful Candy i voiced that earlier and someone wrote back i was IGNORANT ugh 😕😕😕...but i agree
I had many traumas during my childhood and no one ever knew what was going on with me. I spent all of my childhood acting just like her. I was cheerful and positive and fun to be around. I was swallowing every real emotion I had in response to the trauma and living with my violators daily. No one ever knew that I was going through anything. But if, for my benefit, someone wanted me to get in touch with my true feelings and wouldn't let me get away with pretending I was fine all that came out of her would have come out of me. Of course she is angry, hurt, confused, broken but that's not who she is it's what she has to do to keep from loosing her mind. She can't do it alone and her birth family is doing her a disservice by pretending everything is ok. She's in deep trauma and needs lots of professional help and a family that are willing to do their hard work and support her through her hard work. You're going to lose her. Emotionally or even physically.
Her counselor walked away after her brutal outburst. There is a whole other side to her and it isn't pretty.
@@standdown4929 Her "counselor" deliberately pushed her buttons telling her her bf and father were given an "assignment" not to take her calls and she was supposed to stay overnight in the "womb." She needed one of them to drive her home and she had a major hissy fit because she didn't want to stay the night. I doubt she suffers. from deep trauma because during her formative years she had a loving mother and father and only at age 18 did she learn she was kidnapped by her non-biological mother. She did suffer some trauma after learning her parents were not her biological parents, but not anything that will stop her from succeeding in life.
@standdown4929 There's another side to everyone , some people are able to accept and adjust ... nobody wants to dwell, life is too short, and stress kills, so WHY DWELL ON THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF YOUR CONTROL ???? as many times as she's talked about it and as much feedback she's received, i would consider that therapy. Besides, i'm sure if she hasn't, when she's ready, she'll speak. Everyone has their time , let her be she's on gods watch not ours
How this interviewer ... interview made me uncomfortable
Magickal Lady Duchess I thought I was the only one. Everything about the interview was weird, from the father acting childish in the background to the young lady's nonchalant attitude. But, may god bless the situation, that is all.
Ophelia Snow the interviewer laughter was off everything off
Yes I felt the same way
Magickal Lady Duchess I KNOW ME TOO
Exactly!
I don't understand how she is supposed to act, people took one interview and branded her as a horrible person. Kids get the shit beat out of them and still love their parents so you can imagine if she had a great life from birth how she could stop loving her kidnapper.
Poor interviewer. Disingenuous. Inappropriate affect.
And her pops is pushing her....for the almighty dollar! I’m sure he’s her “manager”
Definitely looks like it. He looks dumb as hell.
This must have been taped prior to Iyanla's show. She came off as an innocent kid, but underneath she's a straight up gangster. Don't let the cute face & laugh fool you!!
Shawney W it was
yes that little bitch is very disrespectful
Right
Shawney W facts , she just outspoken and you know adults now a days call it disrespectful. 🤷🏾♀️
Walterboro girls act like that BUT no excuses IJS #843
When she said her fake mom was a god fearing person I would have said “so you think that a god fearing person would have done what she did?” 🤔 this lady went to sleep every night for all these years knowing what she did. That is not a god fearing person she is the devil
Very true,and she is in jail and still has the child because she referred her as her mother I feel bad for the bio mother ❣️
Exactly...and God is not the author of confusion.
I love how she interviews Kamiyah! This is a very mature and experienced interviewer... She really has great ability!
Me2
the guy in the back, gave the finger??? is this a professional setup or not? this girl seem like she is literally ready to snap at any moment. Her aggression has nothing to do with the kidnapping, which she is completely okay with, her "mom" raised her that way. How is she meshing with this gangsta attitude and lack of direction? They probably scared.
that’s her dad
That's her dad he give he an 👌🏾 he was encouraging her
He gives her "👌🏻" this off her answers she gives. When she'll answer the questions great and right he gives her that hand
at 3:10 he gives the middle finger. Gross.
Be honest she talk like her birth mom actually
A time will come when this young lady has a child of her own and realizes what her kidnaper did and that will be the day she doesn’t call her mom. She may have been well cared for by the kidnapper but that doesn’t change the fact she stole so many years from her. I’m glad she got as many years as she did in prison. She deserved more. She took advantage of a 16yr old teenager and forever changed her life. Kamiya has a bright future ahead of her but before she succeeds she’s gonna have to confront her kidnapper and get angry with her. She’s gonna have to to move forward and truly have healing.
When she has her first born
Kamiya keep pushing I know it’s hard but if you continue to pray you’ll find peace for everything. Great interview.
She reminds me of Fantasia
Isubmit2White she does,she's beautiful,I love her voice!!!!!
Isubmit2White And She Sounds Like Her Also!!
I agree
I was thinking the same thing! I'm a Tesia fan ❤️️
Where😂
She is a very sad and disrespectful. She owes Oprah and Vanzant an apology. They scared of her. Get her help she is a loose canon.
Weirdest interview I've seen. The interviewer asked a question, she declined to answer. The interviewer asked again, she answered? She's not listening, just talking. She is eating her way through, SMH. She'll look up and weigh 250 if she's not careful
It's just terribly sad that even after all that Kamiyahs birth mom has been through, Kamiyah still leans more toward the kidnapper. I know that this woman was all she knew for 18 years, but she is just very selfish. I think she is going to need extensive counseling because she really acts like nothing is wrong. When I saw her curse Iyanla out_I knew the nice, smiling girl wasn't as sweet as she wants people to think. Sad story
The fact that she through the hospital for her documents instead of simply calling her birth mother shows you how completely Gloria broke that unbreakable bond between bio mother & child.
She was never able to receive a social security card for her as a baby
In 2019, Gloria Williams appealed to have her sentence reduced, according to First Coast News. She self-filed the appeal and called the 18 years "cruel and unusual punishment" that was "disproportionate" to the crime she committed. Her appeal was denied.
The nerve of this wicked woman.
I just love this girl man.. to go through so much and still have such a positive attitude
I am so proud of her, God bless her heart and her 3 mothers .
Who is the third?
@@werethewilsons her step mom
She doesn't have 3 mothers. She has a mother, a step mom & a kidnapper.
she needs to understand the pain her real mother went through you can't take that pain away not having your child or just thinking about if ya child is alive or not..father's handle pain different then a mother but a woman who had to carry'd a child for 9 months it's not easy to just let what happened go. even if the women who took her and now in jail, it's like she still won because she still consider that woman as mom..so real mother is like well then let her have her I'm not going to have no communication with her because now it's like even tho she birth her she don't no anything about her.. this is sad.
Musst be heartbreaking 💔 for her biological Mom 😢She would be so relieved her daughter is found but hesrtbroken the bond her daughter has with her kidnapper. I hope god protects them all and helos with healing. ✝️ 🙏 🤲 ❤
Beautiful girl.. im praying for her success and positive future
She's an adorable & beautiful young lady! 😍 And I'm very proud of her! ⚖ I wish her the best in all her Academic pursuits. ⚖
I cried due to these comments. ABOUT A CHILD. Brutally harsh judgements so easily expressed. Why do you shame the VICTIM??? THIS IS AMERICA!
Jay Lasker I agree. She's an 18 year old child who is still going through a traumatic event. Give her a break!
It's sad to see so many judgmental adults speak so lowly of a young girl who has experienced so much public pain. No empathy. I'm seriously in disbelief...
She is still responsible for her behavior. The way she behaved on Iyanla is unacceptable. Trauma or no trauma
Jay Lasker YOU CRIED! Really? Give me a damn break!
I think the interviewer did an amazing job with Kamiya giving all she’s been through at such a young age...Great Job!
Is this the same young lady that went bonkers on Iyanla 💁🏽
Yes
I’m so happy her sisters are welcoming her with love, bless them!
Sad situation. It sounds like she has a lot of loyalty toward her kidnapper/captor. I get it, to her it's the only mother figure she knew but at what point do you look at this person and understand what really happened and what devastating effects those actions took on both sides. Maybe it's easier to deal with for her but I'm sure it creates pain for her real family. There will be a day when she will reflect on what happened, but that's not today.
Crimson Discovery when she becomes a mother
This is one strong willing bright young lady who reminds me sooooi much of a younger version of Fantasia....We love you out here Kamiyah ❤
Yes..this girl need therapy there is no way a 18 yr old can process all this I'm much older and don't think I could...i just pray when reality sat in she will have someone there for her ...she has a long way to go and gonna need a lot of support but,with God all things are possible💝
It's sounds like the lady was good to her
That's why it's going to time for her to really understand everything
Have to remember she's young
Wait one day she's going to be a Mother.
She'll understand more, she's strong and positive
I'm pray she stays that way..
She cannot be of God fearing woman and continue to commit a crime for 20 years. She is confused about religion, to be forgiven you have to repent and stop doing what you did.
Very Smart Girl I get tears in my eyes thinking about how smart she is
KamiYAH is a beautiful young woman. I hope she can find herself and grow strong...
My children and I saw you in Walterboro at CitiTrends...I wanted so badly to just come hug you because you're such a jéwel but I found myself fighting tears because after all you've encountered you're a very remarkable young lady...God bless you and all your families
The interviewer scared of the lil girl
It is very hard for people to understand who Alexis is. She is smart, beautiful, and strong. She did not go through any physical or emotional trauma at birth, because she was kidnapped when she was only 8 hours old. And the woman who kidnapped her loved her. She did not form a bond with her biological mom. It is sad, but Gloria is her mom. Gloria gave her, her first bath, her first kiss, her constant embrace, and love. A child's formative years are from 0 -14. Gloria formed her. Gloria is her mom. This is very sad, but it is like a person adopting a newborn. She has no attachment to the person who gave birth to her. She is totally attached to the person who raised her from birth. It is normal. What Gloria did was totally despicable but we cannot force her to hate her mom. Her mom is Gloria. We cannot cut Gloria out of Alexis' life, that will damage Alexis more. Alexis is behaving perfectly normally. She is aware that Gloria committed a crime, but she cannot reject Gloria because Gloria is her mom. I sympathize with her biological mom, and what she went through was horrific, but the truth of the situation is that this is really complex and involves humans emotions which is not easily explained. Gloria nurtured Alexis from birth to adulthood and is the only mother that Alexis knew. It is a sad situation, but Alexis is incapable of hating Gloria and will always protect her. Alexis knows who she is. She is the daughter of the woman who raised her from birth to adulthood and it will go against her nature to hate Gloria, her mother. The girl is behaving normally. The hands that rock the cradle rules the world. Gloria's hands, changed Alexis's diapers, fed her, rocked her, bathed her, love her. Alexis is Gloria's daughter. Please give the girl a break, she is no ticking time bomb, she is a normal, loving young girl who is caught up in a situation, where humans are forcing her to bite the hands that fed her and loved her and she can't. God will help her to accept her biological mom but she will never reject Gloria, the kidnapper because that is the woman who nurtured her past and has prepared her for the future. Let us all pray that the girl will be fine. And Alexis, if you ever become a lawyer, I will be cheering you on. God bless you, Alexis.
Her mannerisms would’ve been different if she was raised by her biological family instead of a psychopath kidnapper
Possibly worse
They're ghetto as hell! Wat u talkin bout ?
Gloria didn’t kill anybody. So she’s not a psychopath
It does not apply to killing in all situations... she is psychopathic
Her bio mother has a bad attitude and that's probably where she gets her attitude from... On Iyana she said her bio mom curses at her and hangs up in her face and refused to get counseling with the rest of the family
I appreciate the interview of being positive keeping a smile on her face and being encouraging in this interview
She needs to give an apology to Iyanla. She also needs to see her daddy for what he really is. He sees her as a way to better his life financially. I'm sure he's not presenting it that way. Oh and meshing, she acts like them.
The entire interview was very forced and awkward. I was uncomfortable just watching it... Praying for this beautiful young woman and everyone involved.
