Wait a
minute... she 40 (ebonics implied)?! Naw sis. I thought she was younger so I was giving her a young and challenged pass. BUT if she's 40 that puts her in my age category... No ma'am. This is not acceptable at this stage of life no matter what! In pursuit of beauty or whatever. When you get to this point in the game you should have grown to not be moved by trends and opinions of others. You don't/ shouldn't let yourself go but you don't miss sleep over styles and trends either cause you don't need the people approval. 
. That needs to be a parallel priority alongside fund raising, lawsuits, and trips to CA. I suspect this will be parleyed into speaking engagements and the like for her and that secretly she will become additional fodder for people of other ethnicities who already think all AA women have ear length, dry, unhealthy hair that won't grow and has to be covered up by weaves. Again not that we bow at their opinions but y'all know some of us be looking ridiculous with what we do to ourselves
. At any rate, I really hope she gets the help she needs emotionally.
It is the way
The waiting a month to seek medical care ,and then immediateyely going to the ER leads me to believe she doesn’t have health insurance. Lots of people in this country don’t.
In the most exaggerated southern drawl I can muster up >>>Bless her heart.She is full of it. She’s offended by the title Gorilla Glue Girl, but she used that name as the title of the gofundme that she set up herself.
She won’t accept hair (except from Porsha) or do promotions because she doesn’t want people to think that is why she did this, but she’ll accept cash donationssss, giftssss.
She wishes she never posted it, and is over the attention, but she’s still posting multiple “updates” per day, and doing interviews.
I don’t think she did this on purpose to become internet famous, but she is clearly enjoying the attention and financial come up she’s received from it.
This exchange made me laugh. She really is slow. Lol
Interviewer: So, what made you decide to try gorilla glue?
Tessica: Well, I used it before, and it worked pretty good.
Interviewer: Oh! You used it on your hair before?!
Tessica: No, not on my hair. For um, Christmas.
Interviewer:
Had to quote this b/c it's the truth... I really do hope she gets help but EVERTHING you said is just true whether we like it or not...Random thoughts about Lovelyti's super long and repetitive video
I don't have a problem with people questioning if this is a hoax. I hope this is a hoax. That helmet on her head don't look like no hoax tho.
There is something about this woman at her big age, lookin how she look, talkin how she talk and writing how she write, putting glue in her hair to slick it down that doesn't surprise me.
I know we ain't supposed to talk about black folks like this because apparently all of us have the ability to be geniuses like Kanye but um some of the kinfolk kollective are four cents short of a nickel intellectually. It's amazing how when somebody does something unexplainably, outlandishly dumb, we shy away from the obvious answer that the person who did the dumb thing is just dumb, period. We just gotta hammer the round peg in a square hole that the person who did the dumb thing is actually smart but did a life altering dumb thing by a fluke, especially when other things about them seems to be off.
I agree that the imagery of gorilla logo next to this woman's face plastered all over the media is problematic. This is a bad look and it affects more than just her.
She explained in the video that it’s black stuff to cover up the bald spots that she got from the acetone.
Yep, this is exactly what I was thinking. She documented everything and everything she has stated would be used against her.

But she saidY'all with your comments...I broke down and watched the video.
The above is what stood out for me. I'm wondering if she did some sort of light hold, thing with this glue before and it worked out fine, maybe with her ponytails, and so she went in hard core with the glue this time? Also, where was she going that she couldn't stand to embrace a bit of frizz? We really need to normalize frizz. For real.
The other lesson learned is your business does not have to be all over the internet (she says as she heads over to the challenge threads to add some length check pics). She learned that lesson, but many people don't. I think that people only consider loss of privacy in "extreme" cases, like when it involves bodily harm. Otherwise, they think, no harm no foul. She's suffering twice over...once for the glue and the other for posting about it WITH HER PICTURE. She could have easily created a throw away account to an online forum, and asked her questions, incognito.
That said, hearing her speak I did feel for her a little...
