Ricki Lake was married to a man named Christian Evans who was a jewelry designer by profession. The couple got married in the year of 2012. She always loved the guy very dearly but he began showing symptoms of bipolar disorder and they got divorced in the year 2015. Even after their divorce, they were still together.

Her husband committed suicide in 11th February of 2017. She says that she really wanted to help him but it all went in vain as he wasn’t the man who he used to be anymore. She says,

“Christian didn’t want to be labeled as bipolar, but he admitted he was in the note he left. That was him finally owning it. That was him giving me permission to tell his story.”

It looks like her ex-husband suicide did leave a scar in her heart. She still mourns for him every now and then.

Ricki Lake’s house on fire; wonder what happened to the people inside it?

Back in 2016, Ricki Lake had appeared in the headlines as her rental house in Malibu had caught fire. And she was accused of being guilty of the fire by the owners, and they even filed a lawsuit on 6th June 2017. She was supposedly refueling a portable heater when the sofa caught fire and burned the entire house down.

She and her two sons were inside the house when it caught fire. Luckily, they all survived, and she took it to twitter to thank everyone who was concerned for her well-being. She wrote,

“Thank you everyone for your concern and well wishes. My sons, beloved dog, and I are safe and very grateful. Xoxo”

Ricki Lake abused faced sexual abuse as a child!

Ricki still has a hard time talking about the sexual abuse she faced as a child. In her memoir Never Say Never, she has stated that it was a tough time for her.

She revealed that she was abused by someone who was around all the time. It was her handyman who took advantage of her because her mom lived upstairs and she lived down in the basement. It certainly has affected her in most parts of her life. She says,

“I think it’s part of why I was overweight a lot of my teenage years and early adult life, I think I didn’t want to be attractive to men. I think I liked food and becaming a real emotional eater and still like food.”

We feel incredibly sad that she had to go through it at such a young age. She also talks about her concerns for her two sons. She told that she was around her kids’ age when she became a victim of sexual abuse so the safety of her kids will always be a big apprehension for her.
