Posted by Erma Hippe on Thursday, May 23, 2024

As Tami Roman told Los Angeles Magazine, the cast did dive into very personal issues on "The Real World Homecoming: Los Angeles." "We did delve back into race," Roman told Los Angeles Magazine. "We did delve back into the abortion situation. We did delve back into the issues with #MeToo and that particular incident with [former cast member David Edwards]. A lot of people saw me get my mouth wired and deal with bulimia, body dysmorphia, and eating disorders. We talked about all that this time around. But with a more respectful eye." According to Yahoo, Roman discussed her issues with body dysmorphia and eating disorders since she was 13 years old and pursuing modeling — including getting her mouth wired shut to stop eating in 1993. "I started abusing laxatives, I started not eating, I started throwing up, I started doing everything that I could think of to do to be as skinny as I could possibly be, being obsessive about my weight loss," she said during the show, according to Yahoo! News.

Roman also spoke openly about her trouble conceiving a child with her current husband, Reggie Youngblood, while on the show. According to Yahoo! News, Roman proposed the idea of having Youngblood father a child with another woman to make up for the fact that she could not give him a biological child.
