This is actually very heartbreaking. You can hear the pain in his voice
Suffer No Fools of course he is crying but I mean, even before the crying you can hear the real pain
John Palumbo you are a cruel human being. He is a survivor of sexual abuse and you are making jokes about his suffering. Pathetic.
@John Palumbo 😂😂 that's enough man
@John Palumbo Your grammar is absolutely awful. Maybe that has something to do with your stupid ways. In this instance, you meant fair as in not righteous, correct or just, not fare as in a fee such as taxi fare or airfare. Please educate yourself before attempting to give advice, it will help make you look less dumb.
As a fellow survivor, my heart breaks for him. My reaction was the complete opposite with food. As it was the only thing I felt I had any control of whatsoever, I was severely underweight. The psychological effect of food differs from person to person, and hearing the physical and emotional pain in his voice just breaks my heart. I truly empathize with the guy and im absolutely rooting for him
I wish I could be his friend. He seems like a nice guy who has gone through so much. Wish I could give him a hug.
Me too.
Me 3.
Same here
Same
@Suffer No Fools bec they know his story, if they meet on street thats different story 🤣 hypocrites
There is absolutely no forgiveness for child abuse, none. Destroying someone’s life like that. I have two fiends, twins that got molested in exchange for drugs money during their teenagers. One of the brothers broke down and admitted what happened to him 10 years later. Both brothers are happily Married with children now.
This sounds like that Netflix documentary
They shouldn't be doing drugs
Forgive never forget or forget and forgive there are no other options
Vietnam Flashback They are clean now.
I am very sorry that happened. No one deserves that kind of pain.
When Dr.Phil said : "Not yet"
*respect to this man giving hope to people*
That “not yet “ I loved! Compassion demonstrated!
First he was molested, then he powered through weight loss, THEN TLC RUINED HIS LIFE!! Monsters. He deserves better and i hope he can get better again.
Oh this is so saddening, Jesus you can hear his pain.
Sarah Monroe god**
Maybe he could 2000 thousand years ago 😳
Ah yes something to believe in
I hate how disgusting people can be, really horrifying..
Looks are everything
Oliver Cairn I hope you’re joking
Oliver Cairn ok fortnite player
Ur taking bout the bullies right?
It gets worse
This is so sad and heartbreaking, the hurt and pain this man carries around each and every single day is evident and clear to see. I hope Dr:Phil can truly get him the help that is so needed.
If he truly hurt, he would be more serious about his weight loss. He wants pity!!
@@carpediem2445 please delete your comment... It hurts to people and it's incorrect. Food has become a copy mechanism for him to cope with his hurt.
I had a very similar situation in my childhood, and until this day, I'm hurt. Food become his mechanism, mine was and is another thing, that as all mechanism to cope with this kind of things, are "good" at the beginning, but really bad in the long future (sorry, I don't know the correct words in English). And, as practically 99% of those things (there are always little mechanism that are exceptions) is really hard and almost impossible to the person to let them out of their life, specially by they own, specially when it's too hurted to start living and taking control
I gotta say, although I brought my personal experience to this comment, this is something I learnt while studying psychology at the university
In conclusion, he does need help, and the food for him is a "pain killer" that in reality kills him more in long terms. So he can't really go out of all of this alone, when he is broken like that. Dr Phil has a tough task ahead, I hope he can help him, even if it's for some years before dying, to feel and be free of his pain and his sorrowness
Have a great day
@@eatmypanart Why should i have to delete my comment? You have your opinion and i have mine. This is my opinion. Since childhood, i struggled with my weight. I was also physically and mentally abused. I turned to food as well to cope. Never did i ever call a news crew and want attention. Never did i ever get help, and in his case a career, and throw it away. I did not hear him take any responsibility for his actions. His father, fans, weight loss, ECT was blamed. He had to think about what the children named called him as a child! Personally, i would never forget that. He complained about the ride to the show. He complained he was in pain, which I'm sure he was. But, he still did not take responsibility for his actions. When he called the new cast and wanted help to lose weight, I'm sure that he was in a low helpless feeling spot. How could he forget that feeling and gain the weight back and then some?!? Did he expect an easy, free operation?!? Why didn't he ask Dr. Phil "what can i do to help myself and get well"?? Because maybe he knows that answer already since he went through it once already. He needs to stop feeling sorry for his self. Be thankful for being alive and take care of him self. Make a lifestyle change.
@@eatmypanart Also, Dr. Phil suggested his weight loss book and Drs on Demand app, I'm sure. Not saying that he wouldn't have helped him without suggestion it. But, it benefits him and makes him money with the audience as well.
Cheer up 🍔🍟🍔🥞🥯🍔🍟🌯🥙🍔🥯🍟🧇🥞🍔🍔🌭🍕🍕🥪🌮🍟🍔🥞🧇
People can be monsters sometimes.
light within agree 😑
Suffer No Fools Parents are not perfect
Suffer No Fools. There are kids who killed themselves due to bullying. Look it up. I can see where your coming from tho. I have one boy. He’s 11. Going through the “changes” I’m trying to do what right for him at same time ask God to guide me cos I don’t have all the answers. 👋 good talking to ya
"Arent humans just great speacies?"
Five nights at freddy fan yes they are a great speacies take it from me I know how to spell correctly
Poor guy this is so heartbreaking his whole life was a nightmare i hope he's getting better
I literally feel this man's pain through my screen. All my best, friend
Guy just needs some genuine people who care about him.
I relate to David so deeply. I know the pain of being molested, and ridiculed/ scapegoated by my peers. I hope he sees this comment. I am worth taking care of myself, and so are you David. When you judge yourself, remember that you're not the only one who feels that pain, you are not alone. We are all worthy of love, especially the love we can give ourselves.
I'm so sorry that you went through this yourself. How aweful. I pray that you are able to find strength and healing and the right path to set yourself free of anything that is holding you back 💚💚
No matter who you are, no matter where, there's always people out there who'll be there for you. We're here for you, and we're here for David to. You've lasted this long, after all that, I'd say you've conquered life 😊 So don't ever give up, I'm really proud for you!!
Same here.
TheBizzle1984 yes!!!
Just get on a treadmill
I legit wish this guy the best. He deserves to get fit and to have a great life. He has earned the right to be happy. ❤️❤️❤️ hope this man gets better soon.
I feel bad for this dude :(
dr phil team back at it at 2 am
A random american person back at it thinking their timezone is the same as everyone elses!
I love y’all
4 am for me
Epictron well dr Phil is in America, so it was 2am for the intern putting these up lol. What’s your point here
@@hazel6472 their point is "a RaNdOm AmErIcAn PeRsOn bAcK aT iT tHiNkInG tHeIr TiMeZoNe Is ThE sAmE aS eVeRyOnE eLsEs¡"
This poor man. His pain is so palpable. I hope he finds his path again.
Im actually crying omfg😭💔
I want an update on this man, I would love to see his progress and where he stands today. I hope he made it out alright
On another weight loss episode, he is giving encouragement to the guest, and he lost 100 lbs over 7 months
You can see him in instagram and facebook David Elmore Smith
Poor guy 😭
Foods the worst addiction because you need it to survive.
This is beyond sad.... God heal him 🙏🏾
you genuinely never ever know what people have been through. It costs $0 to be a good person and it’s important to teach your kids to be good people too. I feel so sad for this guy I hope he’s doing okay these days.
Man i will pray for u
AC lmao are you a homosexual or something?
Jackson H you child!
Holly Smith you must also be a member of the lgbt community
@@jacksonh2083 They are praying for him to get healthy and happy in life. Period end of story!
Liberty Martin smh imagine reporting a comment
I feel you dude. I send many blessings your way 🙏🏼
Seeing this taping in person and listening to him speak, it tore me apart. I pray for him and I hope he heals 😔🧡
I am so proud of him to go on national tv and tell his story. I wish him the best
he’s in so much pain and you can rlly see it :( just makes me want to give him a hug
If I was in the audience I would want to run and give this man a hug! Poor guy sounds like he has been through a lot and doesn’t deserve this! 🙁😢
I can never understand how anyone can destroy a child like this. This grown man is what the reality of it is and I just wanna be his friend and actually show him what genuine friendship and love is.
In the end we all are clowns, aren't we? The first step to healing sometimes is recognizing that there is solidarity in suffering. Too many of us experience pain as potent as his in different ways. I have not gained weight cause l tell myself, my body still gives me a reason to smile. I believe he will s on the road to recovery, but even if he doesn't physically, and does psychologically, we all would smile with him even as we grieve with him at the moment.
Very nice! 👍
What do you mean my "soliditary in suffering"? Do you mean loneliness?
@@aurora_boketto7746 'solidarity' we experience pain in different ways and in suffering we are "united".
If there’s a smile on my face it’s only there to fool the public
What kind of monster molests a child, please god help him
I can tell this man has a big heart.
@Suffer No Fools yes 😒
When he cries, I cry. He had such a sad past. I hope this man can live normally again.
I feel so bad for him. I hope he can overcome this and succeed again. He seems like such a sweet person who really wants to change for the better.
This poor man :( he seems like such a gentle, lovely soul. I really hope he gets the help he needs.
I feel so sorry for him, it breaks my heart :( He seems intelligent and nice, and he's so broken and hurt, and he needs help, care and love.
I'm rooting for you, man... I really hope you can do it and save yourself.
If he let himself get to that point he’s been a bit dumb
We're with you man,you got this!
I’m so glad Dr. Phil is being so kind and actually getting to the root of his problems ❤️
I wanna give him the biggest hug in the whole wide damn world. this poor, poor man.
He turned to food,I numbed myself with Drug's and Alcohol! The pain stays with you,now drug and alcohol free!!!!
Michael Gaynor congrats
Proud of you!! Congratulations!!
This is so heartbreaking. Praying for you hun
I'd be his friend in a heartbeat he'd make a great boyfriend sooo sweet :( my heart hurts for this man
Honestly, the start made me cry. I am genually very emotion about his life story.
He is so sweet! Sending you hugs!! Keep your head up! You are a wonderful person!
Bless his heart 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
It's so sad, i hope he gets the help he need.. but also he deserve.. 😔😔
This is so heartbreaking...
He seems like such a sweet man. It's heartbreaking what he's been through in his lifetime. But it's evident that he is such a strong person. May that strength and the support of those around him help him reach peace and happiness.
Sad, but there's hope
he's a very sensitive individual, that has been through so much. I wish him the best, I hope he learns to love himself and accept himself.
This poor boy, I wish I could comfort him. We've all been through a traumatic experiences in our childhood, why else would we be watching Dr. Phil. He is an absolute Angel and I pray for him
hes in so much pain physically and emotionally. hope that he is able to tackle this concern with Dr Phil.
This man is the most adorable sweetest person i have ever seen on this show. My heart breaks for him . Bes clearly hurting and needs a good support system around him to help him get through the suffering hes been through
Poor guy. He seems so sweet. 😞 I hope things get better for him.
I really hope he turns out ok. Seems like such a genuine person
Sexual assault ruins people’s lives! Parents need to be held accountable and be very aware. I feel so bad for this guy. Everyone has a vice and his is food.
his pain is so valid and he seems so mad at himself for being so messed up by what happened. it’s so much more than the act itself. it’s how young he was - how isolating it is - how confusing it was - how his mother would push him to go hang out with that kid. as a victim myself, i’ve been in that situation, being pushed and bothered to go to my abuser’s house and it still haunts me to this day that I couldn’t say anything or explain why I didn’t want to.
This is heartbreaking man 💔
So, so sad. I would be happy to be his friend! Bless
I wanna hug him so bad he’s so sweet he doesn’t deserve to feel this way
What a gentle soul
Rooting for him. So much. He deserves all the happiness in the world. I hope he knows he’s worthy of happiness and good health. ❤️
That's so messed up. Poor guy. We should always be cautious of how we treat people. No matter who they are or what they look like becuse you don't know what somone has been through. I hope he's doing ok.
His pain is real. I can feel it. My heart breaks for him.
An inspiration! I hope he pulls thru and i wish him the best !
This is so sad, seeing this really makes me feel bad even if I wasn't there but knowing he went through a tuff time and still does.
This broke my heart💔
Poor soul... God bless this man.
*ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING* 🥺🥺😭😭
😭💖 I want to hug this sweet man.
What a beautiful soul. We love you dearly❤❤❤❤❤
I want to give him the tightest hug. This broke my heart.
Made me cry straight away, his pain is so clear in his voice. Poor soul, he needs to talk with someone professional, not on a circus show like Dr. Phil.
The father is hurting as well but trying to mask it, no doubt he loves his son.
God damn I just wanna give this man a hug 🥺 no one deserves to be on this show than this guy
This guy is a lovely person I really hope he can overcome the awful things that have destroyed the young child he was. Sexual abuse is a terrible thing it messes people up a lot but can be overcome Good luck on the journey back, God bless you.
He doesn’t deserve this fr he’s such a sweetheart 🥺🥺
He needs constant support....and sheer determination...that's all
Omg this man's pain is so crazy I feel so bad for him...
He has so much potential to turn things around again
This is one of those Dr. Phil's that I pray to see a happy follow-up to.
Absolutely Tragic Life!
This is horrible, David seems very sweet and kind and I wish him all the best
😢😢 His story makes me so sad, what’s even sadder is I relate to it.
I love Dr.Phil he has the patience I wish I had for people.
I am so sorry that happened to you..
In vulnerability, there is strength. In pain, there is growth. This man is ready to take his life back, and he deserves to heal. I'm sending lots of love! 💕
Really rooting for him!
I feel so bad for him, he deserves happiness
I just want to give this guy a hug!
His story is so sad 😞... I hope everything works out for him soon... he is deserving of love 💕
I’m a little scared of being like him...
Make a change, and take care of yourself. You can do it, so don't become like him.
Drink a lot purified water. It helps 💯

@@Johnny-nv7oh shut up
In the end no one's going to look out for you, that why you gotta look out for yourself
I will think twice before I EVER judge ANYONE again for as long as I live!!!!!
This is like my son. My heart breaks for this man. I am so pleased he is getting help. I so wish someone could help my son. It is a heart breaking situation.
Ugh. I just want to give him a hug. 😭
Such a sad story.
I really hope he can heal his body and his mind, most importantly, be at peace with himself. He deserves nothing but happiness.
So sad hope he finds peace
I hope he gets the help he needs to improve his health and resolve his issues from the past.
It's sad that unfortunately, alot of children are molested by other children whom an adult has molested. It's awful because they dont really know that what they are doing is wrong.
I wish i could be his friend.. i feel sympathy for him, he doesnt deserve what he experienced. I hope Dr. Phil could help him
