This was a great interview. Even back then she acknowledged God and her trust in Him. Liked the energy from the interviewer too! Vanity was clearly sober and coherent and as always beautiful! What a stunningly gorgeous Black woman she was!! I so wish that her path would've been different, but it was what it was meant to be. Thankfully, she found her path to Christ and was a true champion for His kingdom. R.I.H. sweet angel!! You definitely earned your wings while you were here!!
Something doesn’t add up. Wikipedia states her “first anniversary of sobriety” was in 1995, which means she didn’t get clean until 1994. If that’s true, then it means she was still using in 1988 when this interview was filmed… Also: she had announced her engagement to Nikki Sixx in 1987, the year before this interview, and they were famously “drug buddies.” And she lied about being a “lightweight” and not a heroin addict… she absolutely WAS a heroin addict. Most likely still during the period of this interview.
Yes this was the usual denial of a drug addict while using She later admit her heavy drug use through the 80s, which affected her kidneys causing major health problems later towards her death but she found her victory in Christ & her ministry

This was the beginning of the convictions in her heart. From here she became an ordained minister and God used her for his glory. I look forward to seeing her one sweet day!

I have read her book which now I want . I wish would have met and known her as Denice post Vanity. She was real sweet and genuine and reading comments here and there from people who socialized with her through social media and the such brings to at heart how human people are beyond the celebrity status. Her heart was the real beauty then beauty itself.
@@calisongbirdShe was definitely using all through the years until mid 90's She had a major relapse in 1994, and went into major kidney failure and that is how she actually passed away, she was on dialysis for many years 5 times a day until it finally took her, so very sad. Her book is an excellent read and explains all of this in great detail.
Vanity aka Denise always had a strong depth to her when she got serious . She really is head strong 💪, I see why prince had to have her in his dreams and life .

She was really smart, people always say she was so beautiful and that's it. Like how she said life is a learning process and everything happens for a reason

@@calisongbirdwell that’s addiction. You see, people will lie and at this point it doesn’t fucking matter. I’m sad she died and gave in so much her health was affected. Stop worrying about the technicalities of the dates and have actual empathy for addicts. It’s an illness and so many succumb to it rich famous or not .

Absolutely a naturally beautiful woman both inside and out, even though it’s sad that her life ended way to short I’m glad to see that she was able to overcome her addictions and demons and get her life turned around, i pray that she’s resting in peace and comfort, miss and love you always Denise Matthew’s.

I hadn’t heard her talk about her drug use like this before. I think this was why Sydney was so believable…she was genuinely acting from her heart, sober, and emoting what she experienced. Lovely soul….so missed💗💐

She looks high in this interview to me. The jaw movements and eyes for example. I believe she was not using heroin but She was definitely using crack and powder cocaine
Yeah man, I’m glad she found the Lord Jesus before passing. I met her back in 2007 in the bay area. I worked at a nice hotel and she came through, I was so star struck, I mean every dude who wasn’t gay had a crush on her. She even baptized my daughter too. Awesome experience I had with her then and yeah, she was all about Jesus too. Cool lady and so beautiful.
Totally respect Vanity for her honesty and for becoming clean sober becoming saved and lived her life as a devoted Christian Evangelist who travelled the world preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ ❤️ Continue RIHP Evangelist Denise Matthews aka Vanity ❤️ You will not be forgotten
Action Jackson was my introduction to Denise, the actress. She was remarkable, and her natural abilities impressed me. Her story is overwhelming; she weathered many storms of pain and death before finding life through Christ. But praise Him that Denise turned herself around and didn't cease telling her story. She walked away from everything happening for redemption, and through Jesus, she received salvation. There is no greater beginning to anyone's journey.
Why would the discerning public, that do not idol worship, allegedly believe a single word coming out of the fork tongued mouth of Helliweird’s satanic masonick, gender inverted male deceiver, controlled opposition shill-sellout ACTOR?
She pretty much played herself in that movie, which is the reason she did so well with the character. Action Jackson was her best role in her short movie career.
Denise knew this movie wouldn't make her happy. Poor love was already lit up for God and there is no participation in Babylon that she really desires anymore.

You know how beautiful she was but somehow you kind of forget and then the camera pans in on her face and it hits you like a semi truck. It's such a weird feeling. She was possibly one of the most attractive women ever.
I thought the interviewer was more respectful than the others I've seen. True she wasn't oprah but she was serious unlike the others laughing the whole time

I don't ever recall reading that she did heroin. That was Nikki. Denise did crack. Nikki said in The Heroin Diaries that she taught him how to freebase coke.
@@metalmami7862 She didn't get clean until '94, after her kidneys got destroyed by a drug overdose. So, she was very much still an addict during this interview.
Like the title says though, this interview was promoting Action Jackson, where she played a heroin "addict," NOT The Last Dragon. Her Last Dragon promo interview with Bobbie Wygant is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LdMVcr6QzlY.html.

She was obviously lying in this interview because she definitely had been doing hard drugs prior to this and did them again in the future. Hard to believe. Thank God she got out of all that though.
"...drug additcition is something you're born with..."???? Ummmm I'm far from an expert. Not a doctor. But, no one can be "born an addict" :) ) No one is born an addict to anything....drugs, pocket-kiife collecting, gun collecting.....etc... She wanted to "live THAT llife....of the rock star....".....Why so many guys want to be rock stars....they see the GLAM in that lifestyle....try a little then get addicted/rehab...come out of it or they die. "Sex, drugs and rock/n'roll"....not what people think ...it's not alway "fun".....always costs...in some shape or form... It's a shame...she was a beautiful woman...
