      Jenifer is a hoot! I was thoroughly entertainment by a story I read about her in a book I read called "On My Way to Hollywood" by an actor named Roman Castle. Apparently she wanted to add him to her list of conquests. Lol.

    I love the way that Jennifer Lewis says, “Little Girl.” 👏🏾 Every year, I watch The Preacher’s Wife as a Christmas tradition, and every year I laugh at all my favorite parts. I love the ENTIRE movie. Thank you, Jennifer Lewis for wanting to be and becoming an actress! 🤎🇺🇸

    I've always wanted to reach out to Ms. Jenifer Lewis. By sharing her truth, it helped me find mine. Ms Lewis was on Oprah show, and I called into the show because what she was describing was me, since then I too have been diagnosed with Bipolar 2, but I did not know that my behavior and emotions had a name. And she is definitely 1 beautiful soul. Love her ❤❤

    Jenifer Lewis is one of my favorite actresses. She has bi-polar, so does my daughter. People who have mental health are still human beings. It is so often misdiagnosed. You have to be a person with patience, hope, and faith to deal with people that have bi-polar. I have hope and faith that God is going to heal everyone who has mental health illnesses. Be bless.

A few ppl in comment section and on Twitter said she deserved an Oscar for the way she did that interview lol. Now I looked at other interviews she did, and it always seems like she deserves an Oscar for her interviews. This one is no exception lol.
