We Had Sex And It Ruined Our Friendship | FULL EPISODE | Ricki Lake 

I miss the 90s and 00s. Life was a million times better without social media.

The innocence of people in the 80s and 90s is truly missed.

My husband and I started out as platonic best friends. For 2 years, it emerges that, each of us had fallen in love with the other. Deeply in love. I turned down dates , with several men, as I knew I couldn't ever feel the same way for any other man. I prayed that he would ask me out. Neither of us told the other how we felt, for fear we'd ruin our friendship . Eventually, he invited me for dinner and told me of his feelings. He was so nervous .A lot was at risk, if I didnt share those feelings. I told him i loved him, too. We met when we were 19, (40 years ago) We've been happily married, and are STILL deeply in love, for 35 years. He's the love of my life and my soulmate. He tells me, and shows me, he loves me, every day ❤ I know that we have been very blessed,

I wish we had updates 30 years later 😊

The 90s was truly a golden period of time just golden music,movies,talk show's,sports the whole works.

The audience member in the black sheer was so fly 😍. Grambling purposefully riled her up the second time cuz he really wanted to holla 🤭

Marry your best friend is what the 90s was about. Now it's about something else, something about a "high value man" and "a feminine woman". Oh how times have changed.

Look at that audience!! Ricky Lake show was so diverse

This was the best television show of the 90's

I was with my x back in the 80's for over 8 years. We broke up went our separate ways, I saw him again in 2019. We rekindled our friendship, and ended up back together, we broke up again, it's 2024, we are still friends, and still talk as friends. We're both in our 60's now, and we know we could probably never get back together, but a friendship like ours is special and life lasting.

Grambling talks like a damn pimp😭

The first girl’s hair is beautiful!

"Its just the dawg in me, i gots to have it" 😂😂 The first girl initiated the act during a time when the guy was vulnerable after a breakup. Sure he did what he did but if the roles reversed he would look way worse than she does.

Let's get real, you DON'T sleep with friends because it CHANGES the dynamics of the relationship,and what used to be comfortable can become quite awkward to one or both parties.

I cant thank you enough for these uploads, it really satisfies my 90s nostalgia needs 😊❤

That first girl manipulated dude and took advantage of a vulnerable situation... clearly she wanted a relationship but everyone calling the guy a dog....

She’s laughing but you can see how uncomfortable she is.. I feel her pain.

Grambling in that suit really think he's Ralph Tresvant or something

Don’t ever romantically engage with someone going through a recent breakup. Even if they pursue and initiate with you. Even if you feel you have the advantage of being more attractive and viable than the ex.

She took advantage of him when he was vulnerable and he's the dog?? he may not be able to articulate it but if he has an attraction to her and she takes advantage of him in a moment of weakness when he already made up his mind that she is just friend, you can't be surprised that he doesnt know how to talk to her after.

these ppl are 50-60+ today in 2024 wow!!!

Great lesson ladies... don't sleep with a dude you call a friend unless you want to end up ghosted lime this. Always DISCUSS the expectations of the relationship OR friendship. Don't mix the two.

That Woman in the black sheer blouse is gorgeous ❤

Sex is NOT for friends it was created by God to bond a husband & his wife to their marriage.

The first girl had sex with her best friend and expected a relationship. He ghosted her to spare, hurting her feelings .

Every person should have a friend of the opposite sex. It provides a different perspective on adult relationships that you might not get with same sex friends.

I think the first guy is just afraid of commitment he seems to like her a lot but is scared of what it could possibly be and he seems to be trying so hard to maintain the persona of some kind of playboy.

That first dude is scary and controlling i hope she found someone better

Ricki Lake show changed my life between 90s n 2000s. Still enjoy the show

They’re not understanding that you can’t just go back to your friendship because sex is not just a physical thing, sex is spiritual as well! This wasn’t just a one night stand .. this was a person who you had high respects for. So, yeah .. of course it’s different.

Used to love watching this as a tiny little kid sat in the front room watching with my Mom while she did laundry

OMG!!! Grambling was so tired and corney! He thinks hes the cats meow Lmao🤣

Sex was made to be enjoyed within the confines of a marriage.

Grambling barber did him dirty 😅😅😅.

First girl is in love with dude

Yes!! Was looking forward to this after I saw the short!

The first dude is hella playing like he's a victim.

I still believe the 90's era talk shows, music, and all is undertated. Thanks for the upload. My 90's nostalgia quenched right there!

Oh how I miss Ricki Lakes she started my week with good shows some good laughs and some crying too

Omg I’m obsessed with Ricki Lake and this song now 😂😂

The 90s style, I mean the hairstyles, the dress styles, the talk, everything was just genuine and natural and normal.

I had a friend in college. She was my best friend. We ended up sleeping together. We stayed friends afterward 20 year and going.

Omg I miss Ricki Lake and the old 90s shows ❤

RICKI LAKE TALK SHOW: 90’s: Ricki Lake has the grooviest theme show opening 🎵 🎼 🎶 love the drums and that funky bass guitar!

This era was really chill.

Grambling is a playa from the Himalayan’s 😅😂😂 She played herself but she definitely knew how he was because they were friends.

What a funny name Grambing is 😂

thanks for the upload 😊

Crazy how they villainized the first man. Everything he was saying made sense, she took advantage of him being in a vulnerable state. Sure he engaged with her, but he never planned on doing that and he clearly regretted it after. If the roles were reversed the man would be crucified.

Y'al see how the women in the audience reacted to that nerdy guy who commented at 3:35?!? 🤣🤣🤣

Oh Ricky Lake show 😢.. Literally nostalgic

Remember 80s, Knight rider, CHiPs, The Fall Guy, The A Team, The Breakfast Club, ET, Fresh Prince, innocence and waiting on a call from a pay Phone, hoping she would call and rushing whoever is on a call to get off the phone plus little handwritten notes.

From ghetto superstars to wall street rich white men and All in between have attended this how lovely was the 90s pure Joy and conversation

The first girl in the first segment said "him and his friends pride themselves on being dawgz" Then she's mad about what happened after having sex with him 🤔

Wait just one minute, Women are not objects, They're human beings, damn it, show a little respect

They're all attractive people, but Laurie burns the place down! 🔥🔥🔥

Laurie is so truthful and really loves Brad.

My man haircut better have been free!!😂😂

It's amazing how people in the past were rational and real !!

These two are fighting the invetible they just need to get married so much chemistry

Brad reminds me of Skippy from Family Ties😂😂😂

Ahhh the Ricky Lake theme tune brings back happy childhood nostalgic memories 🥹

It’s crazy how it seem like all the women on the show initiated the sex act but don’t like the end result of it lol. I get it we grown but most men don’t be immature when it comes to sex and don’t know how to handle those feelings whether they are interested or not.

Grambling is so goofy. I hope he thinks back to this appearance from time to time and feels so embarrassed.

Wow even talk shows in the 90's are the best

I bet Grambling probably sittin on a couch somewhere with a big stomach and probably tellin his kids/GrKids about all da chix he had in da 90s while burpin up sum beer😂😂😂

He is not man enough because he doesn't know how to express himself...he can't communicate and I don't know how to use his mind to a conversation....lack of knowledge..... Good girl... Life was the better and deeper.❤❤

“ Shame on you Ronald , did you get 1 more in ? “ 😂😂😂

The one guy in the white who brung the girl to the show has a very thick Baltimore accent...ain't no way I'm wrong lol

These day friends have sex and have no regrets at all. Back then it was weird to even think you have feelings for someone you consider just a friend.

Hold up Ricki??? Talk to the hand is what Ricki should have said! The guy is player period!

To each his own they say 😮 that's life! Frm the Philippines.

Moral compass! Kept some many of us, in this mess of lies

Brad's body language was like nah. Wonder what happened to them?

What the hell kind of name is Grambling?!

Great episode. LOL @ Bill Clinton. hahahaha

Very good Talk Show

GRAMBLING WAS A. P I M P/MACK, BUT HE IS TELLING HER THE TRUTH

Friend zone backfired is the name of this episode

I was told just recently by two married couples that they were best friends before they got married. One couple has been married for 40 years, and the other 53 years.

I'm 54 Born in NYC and let me say, 1987-1997 was the absolute best of times with naturally beautiful women our fashion, music and dancing and how easy it was to get money out there. Best times of my life hands down

“ Will they follow her advice ? We’ll never know “ 😂😂😂

I actually feel bad for Gramble. They kept cutting him off and wouldn't let him talk

Wow this was the Best show ever

The whole idea that a man and a woman can just be friends is just not good, from the first guest conversation u can see she was hurt deeply n the guy just seemed so cold

It's funny how people in the crowd know better than the people directly involved in the drama.

The first bro missed the greatest opportunity of his live, she could have been a great wife. Who else than your best friend când be your best partner?

She played herself. The first girl. He made sense when he said she initiated and knew he was hurting for the situation he just got out of. She took advantage of his vulnerability instead of being the friend he thought he had for two years. That was selfish of her and she shouldn't have done that.

Letenia didn't want Jason because she possibly wanted the bad-boy type. Jason, although super-handsome, is nice and sensitive ... for some dumb reason, women don't want that type.

What did Grambling do? Lol

It's so funny how he (Grambling) was labeled as the dog. She initiated the sex, and most likely made the mistake of sharing her feelings. Most straight dudes will hit it when offered. Considering the circumstances, and knowing he was just breaking up with another girl, the friend should have offered a shoulder and nothing else.

From my viewpoint, I say that when two people become friends, and they have a very strong connection and bond with one another, I think that nothing can ever destroy it even if something comes into it like intimacy or some sort of sexual contact. I believe that no matter if any form of intimacy comes in to it at any time, it would not disrupt or destroyed the friendship between those two people as long as they don’t allow it to ruin that connection. That’s what matters.

Society was wild for the night long before social media and this video is evidence.

Amazing to see this! I love her stage decor!

The fact that everyone shamed grambling is appalling. Man was going through a heartbreak and needed support but you bed him, he said he wasn't ready which is a good reason to ghost a friend you suddenly had sex with. Flip the situation and we would be dealing with a rape case. Crap!

I read a book once called, "Can A Man And A Woman Be Just Be Friends?" It's a valid question.

First girl was laughing but she was hurt😢

Ricki is so pretty ❤

Best friends can sleep with each other and still be good.nothing can change if people are real

Friends do not sleep with each other. It can never be thesame again. Best not to try and go separate ways.
