    This week on Vulnerable, ultra-mom Kim Rhodes from The Suite Life Of Zach And Cody is here and she’s not holding back. Kim talks about how she went from soap operas to Disney and shares some incredible and heartbreaking stories from her time on The Suite Life. Plus, we’re breaking down ageism in Hollywood, how actors deal with stock character roles, and reflecting on the struggle of child actors who have to learn to survive as commodities in the industry.
    What did Kim learn from Will Smith and Jada Pinkett on set? What valuable advice was Christy given by her Even Stevens mom? Was Dylan Sprouse body shamed on The Suite Life? Tune in now!

    She was genuinely one of the top tier Disney moms. Kim/Carrie (not sure how her characters name is spelled), Theresa Russo (WOWP), Amy Duncan (comedic icon on Good Luck Charlie), Tanya Baxter (That’s So Raven). I feel like these are the most known Disney show moms. Others are great, but these are my most memorable/favorites! They played such great parents, both on and off sets.

    As an identical twin who was the "fat brother" to everybody, and having those experiences of being put down for my weight being the kernel of my lifelong inferiority issues and difficulties loving myself, I welled up hearing how Kim defended Dylan. I knew I'd enjoy this episode, as I always liked Kim on Suite Life, but now I have even more respect for her. Not a lot of people stand up for boys being body-shamed or teased. A lot of people seem to operate under the assumption boys don't feel and can't be hurt emotionally. Glad to know Kim Rhodes is not one of those people.

      I'm a fraternal twin myself (both girls), and I'm the same way. I'm considered "less than" my sister, because she's prettier, more outgoing, thinner. People don't look at me the same way, and I'm not stupid, I can tell. To do that to siblings, let alone twins, is so fucking harmful. It sticks with you for life.

      @@sezzyridge Being a twin is tough. I only found out as an adult that my brother also felt inferior in another way. While he always had a better social life, I did slightly better in school, and apparently that made him feel like the "dumb one," even though our grades were very similar. I was surprised to hear this, because he always appeared confident. It led him to becoming an academic high-achiever in his post-secondary education.

      When his wife posted of his death, so many of his former students flooded into the comments section and showed so much love, admiration, and respect; sharing their own stories of how he helped them in some small or big way.

      Producers and writers don’t give a damn about the safety or well-being of child stars! They never did. All they care about are ratings and getting their wallets full.

    She would be an excellent Aunt May (hear me out). The latest Spider-Man movies showed aunt may can be attractive and have her own life. Rhodes would be great at showing the challenges of a single thriving mother who has a back story or great loss.

    I never understood why her character wasn't on the Spinoff. No, mom is going to let her kids live alone on a boat, even a fake TV mom. The whole storyline of suite life on deck made no sense. It is almost as if a secret predator at Disney saw her as a protective force to the kids on set and then found a way to get rid of her. The more I learn about hollywood, the more it seems that the good people slowly get blacklisted out.

    WOW this episode really went there. Thank you for bringing up this conversation Christy, it truly is devastating the effect ageism has on our society with people like Kim who want to work but aren't being given any opportunities. I definitely it is important to bring this awareness to others so that hopefully someday we or the generation after us don't fall down the same hole as well when we get older.

    Kim is truly a beautiful soul. I am shook she isn’t actively working in the business. But I understand running to the dessert after these instances she mentions. I love k owing the inside scoop because while I dreamed of these experiences my whole life… the reality is just as complex as living without getting that dream. Being body shamed, having your disability ignored, ageism… it’s all hard everywhere. Very vulnerable! Loved this episode! ❤

  • @KevinF-yl5mz

    You deserve a standing ovation for this episode of Vulnerable, Christy! I mean it. This episode should be required viewing for everybody in the entertainment business, especially those in management positions. What a feather in your cap for getting someone like Kim Rhodes! When she talked about calling out the jackass that body shamed Dylan Sprouse -- to his face with his brother present -- WOW! You do not want to fuck with her. Period. The fury written in her face and in her eyes was palpable. Christy you are doing good work here! I am so very impressed! Thank you for what you're doing for the next generation in your business. Bravo!! Thank you. Take care.

Both of you are!! Inside and out! Thank you for being you and sticking to who you are through and through, even in a scary dangerous machine. People like you all give us all hope there are more good people out there. ❤

    First of all, Kim does NOT look old whatsoever! She does NOT look 54 but ya know what....54 isn't even old!!! I PRAY that Kim finds a good new....LONG role somewhere that she is happy, respected and loved. I LOVED Carrie Martin!! I am 38 so I was on the older end of the viewers back when the show was on but I kept watching certain Disney Shows bc of actors like Carrie and Christy, Raven and Analise, LEIGH Allyn Baker(my favorite actress from Disney maybe), etc.

    I grew up in a terrible environment and my "parents" were terrible, but after they went to bed at night I would pull up the Suite Life on the computer back when it took forever and a day for videos to load and I would stay up late late and watch it, and sometimes I would laugh so loud I'd wake one of my parents up and get in more trouble for laughing, but it was healing and gave me joy and stress relief and was amazing.
    I still believe Kim Rhodes is amazing ❤

    Love Kim Rhodes. I knew her first from Suite Life, but knew her best from Supernatural. Absolutely stellar on that show. Whenever she came on, whether in her mom role with the girls or in her boss role with Dona/Briana, she lit the shit up of that screen. She was mentor, badass, friend and collegue. She was a real character who had her own thoughts and emotions and own backstory.
    Such a beautiful woman with a feisty soul that just lights up the screen. This woman needs to be given more roles. Honestly, she just becomes more stunning and vibrant with age.

      @@michete She’s on it off and on throughout the years, and absolutely kills it.
      It’s a really great show. Some situations get a bit repetitive, but I love how the protagonists are flawed characters and the antagonists can be pretty lovable. What I love most about the show is how beautifully everyone plays off one another, because it truly does seem like they created their own small family. You can just feel it through the convention videos, and the fact that actors who were only on the show once or twice join the conventions constantly. It really seemed like the two/three mains created a warm, welcoming environment filled with shenanigans that made other actors want to be there and want to return.
      As much as I loved the show, I love the people and what they all created together. It’s one of the few shows where you can completely feel the love they have for their fans and for each other.

    Fully thinking about the fact that there are many male actors who still thrive past 40 and can still find good roles meanwhile past 40 for women is either being a mom or some other character that serves no other purpose than some one dimensional side character is kinda wild. Hopefully things will change and im sure they will but it takes time.

    This was a great conversation with someone who was on my tv everyday growing up. Listening to Kim now i can't help but feel she was perfectly cast in her role and I always missed her on the spin off. Being the edgy goth girl trying to conform to work but still keep a part of herself brought something even more real and relatable to Carey as a character. Kim is another of the many actors who raised us who never get the recognition they deserved.
