"Despite being physically distanced, let's all commit to looking out for those around us, especially those who are at higher risk or without help. We will all get through this together."

"This weekend, I deleted someone. I blocked them for the first time. I don't block people. It was just a mean person."
Marie revealed that she received the comment after she announced on "The Talk" that all of her money would go to charity when she dies.She explained that the Instagram user had accused her of being an awful person adding that this was the reason her son, Michael, committed suicide.
