Raised by Ricki is off this week on holiday break, so we’re excited to bring you an episode of V Interesting that Ricki was recently a guest on. When V thinks back to their childhood, they remember rushing home from school to watch the Ricki Lake Show. That's where they learned about diverse relationships, how to stand up to bullies, and that wearing blazers is cool. Now, V’s talking to the show’s iconic star about how she went from starring in Hairspray to being the youngest talk show host that audiences had seen to producing documentaries inspired by her personal stories. This jam-packed journey is what inspired Ricki’s new retrospective podcast with Lemonada, “Raised By Ricki,'' and it turns out her life today is just as full: of happiness, love, and her advocacy work. Follow Ricki at @rickilake on <a href="https://twitter.com/RickiLake?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rickilake/?hl=en">Instagram</a>, and <a href="https://link.chtbl.com/RaisedbyRickiPodcast">subscribe to her podcast</a>.  Keep up with V on TikTok at <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@underthedesknews">@underthedesknews</a> and on Twitter at <a href="https://twitter.com/vitusspehar">@VitusSpehar</a>.
