• Nickelodeon 'Double Dare' Host Marc Summers Says He Was Fired for OCD

    A whole generation was raised watching Marc Summers guide young contestants through physical challenges and the green slime on Nickelodeon's "Double Dare" from 1986-92. He has built a career in the television game show industry, but there have been some serious bumps in the road. Summers has talked about the fact that he has OCD for years, and once he got himself under control then Summers decided to use his position in the public eye to help educate others. In 1997, Summers went public on "Oprah," but unfortunately not everyone was ready to be supportive. In fact, in a recent interview for "Oprah: Where Are They Now?," Summers admits that being honest about his OCD actually cost him work.

  • Jordan Cashmyer of '16 & Pregnant' Admits to Attempting Suicide After Having Daughter

    Jordan Cashmyer was featured in an episode of MTV's "16 & Pregnant" that aired last June that left viewers a bit stunned. At the time she was pregnant with her daughter Genevieve and homeless in Maryland. Since having her baby last March, Cashmyer did finally secure a roof over her head, but other things fell apart. First she confirmed that she had started working in a Baltimore strip club, and now she admits her temporary silence on social media was due to a suicide attempt and subsequent hospitalization. Rather than letting rumors spin out of control, Cashmyer addressed the situation herself, writing on Facebook: "I have been struggling with a lot of different things emotionally since I had Genevieve. I was diagnosed with post partum depression and was on medication for a little while for it, but I never followed up with my appointment... My mood wouldn't stay stable for very long, I was extremely impulsive, couldn't focus, the smallest things would set me off, and my anxiety got worse, as did my depression and OCD."
