The pregnant woman was unmarried, the shower was at their church, and she felt uncomfortable with the situation but didn't want to be rude and not send a gift. Dr Laura advised her to NOT send a gift, go to the shower, or engage with her at all--to send a message that "that kind of behavior" (being a single mother) is unacceptable.
I asked my mom why she was being so mean. My mother never listened to her after that. This was in the mid 90s. I can't believe she's still on the air!

I find her amusing as hell. She touts family values but she had a long term affair with a married man, think she's been divorced twice had a nude photo scandal years ago, and her mom was found dead, only when neighbors complained of a stench, weeks after she died just 2 miles from her radio show. I get they were estranged but wow, maybe she should not be giving advice to others on what makes a great mom and wife.

I think people listen because she has so many hypocrital missteps.

Agree, but I think that's how Martha Stewart got started.

She was a working mother. She is divorced. She had an affair. She is all of the things that she hates and she projects that on to her callers.

Plus 1 million

I will add: she was outspoken about being against infertility treatments and adamant that infertile couples adopt and...wait for it.....she spent thousands to reverse a tubal ligation and seek treatments to have her son.

It's pretty hilarious and uncanny that everything she was against she became. Pretty sure in the next life she will be a lesbian black woman.
