T'MARH, 29, and Kathryn, 25, live together in Shanghai. He is British and she is Chinese, they have been together for seven months and have blended their lives, residing in an apartment in the city with their dog. The pair first met after briefly seeing each other at a party, then shortly after matched on Tinder and clicked. However, not all has been plain sailing for the couple, with some people in the outside world condemning their interracial relationship. When they are out in public together they often get stares, as local people can be shocked at their mixed-race relationship, especially because T'Marh is black. He explained: "You'll notice as we're walking past, people's faces will follow you as you go." But since staying longer in the city he has come to accept that these looks don't always come from a place of malice, "I've been living in Shanghai for the past five years," he said. "When I first came that would have bothered me, but I know that people will stare at something they haven't seen for a long time, it's just how it is. People will take out their phones to record, it's just how it is. It can be a bit awkward at first but it's just something that I've phased out." The couple both have their respective Instagram accounts where they have been praised for their distinctive styles but, since starting their relationship, they created a joint account and have begun to experience racist and sexualised comments aimed at both of them, Kat said: "Someone called him a gorilla, it's so bad." T'Marh added: "Someone said, 'How much can you buy him for?' People say, if you are with a white person maybe you'll stay together, if it's a black person, he's gonna go somewhere." But the couple have many supporters online too: "There are people who think our relationship looks great, we have an authentic connection and they think we look great together," T'Marh said. Kat agreed: "A lot of people think that we are a lovely couple with a special vibe that other couples don't have." She added: "The most important part is not which country he comes from, or what race he is. The most important part is who he is and the feeling from this relationship that he gives me, and that's why I [am] with him."

CHRIS Dalzell, 36, from Belfast, became fully covered in tattoos around seven years ago as a coping mechanism for when his daughter Jessica got really ill and was in and out of hospital. Chris is so used to being fully tatted that he "forgets that they’re there" until he sees himself in a reflective surface. "My daughter has never seen me in the flesh without tattoos, so it will be a big change for her", he tells Truly as he gets ready to be covered up. As he starts getting covered by the MUA, Chris says that he can't anticipate how he will feel. How will he react to having no tattoos at all after seven years? And how will his daughter, who has never seen him without them, react to her dad's new look?

BELVANA and Natalino are regularly asked questions due to their daughter’s condition. And these questions range from being asked out of intrigue to ignorance. The couple have three children; five-year-old Zivah, two-year-old Zayana and six-month-old Xander. Zayana has albinism and when the family are out in public, they are approached by strangers. Natalino said: “People ask me unnecessary questions like whether she is my child or not?” Belvana explained that when she is out with Zayana and Zivah, people approach her too. She said: “They'll ask if they share a dad, or people would want to touch her hair, or they'll ask me if I'm the nanny.” The mum-of-three began posting content on social media and creates informative videos about albinism as well as family life. She said: “I like to use my platform to create awareness about albinism, because I realise that people are actually ignorant about it.” The family hopes to help educate people and address some of the discrimination people with albinism face. Belvana said: “My hope is really that she grows into a confident young girl. But also that she doesn't let comments get to her.”

A MAN who shed an incredible 310 lbs after becoming morbidly obese has had 13 lbs of loose skin removed in a life-changing procedure. At one point, John Allaire was so morbidly obese he wore 8XL shirts and had to be weighed on a commercial scale at a fish market, as standard scales would not hold his weight. But after joining a fitness programme and dropping from 540 pounds to a lean 230 lbs, the 27-year-old was left with severe excess skin. John underwent skin removal surgery in March which saw the bulk of the loose skin on his torso and arms removed – but will require further surgery in the future to remove the skin on his lower body.

Jessica Alves is back and ready to go on her first blind date as a woman. Transgender woman Jessica has been living as a woman for 3 years and has found dating really difficult. Her previous dates have been really awkward because men didn't want to be seen with her in public and preferred to be hidden away in the corner at restaurants. Jessica hopes to meet a man who will accept her for who she is. Will her date Shojon live up to that expectation? Will the two hit it off?

BRI and Marley are social media influencers and have been in a polyamorous relationship for 11 years. Before this, Marley was married to her husband for 17 years. 6 years into their relationship they decided to become poly and introduced Bri. Recently Marley’s husband left the relationship. Now Bri and Marley are looking for a third woman to join them for the long-term. But through this search, Marley has been shamed for being bigger than Bri. "I’m plus size, and people say I can’t be poly," Marley said. "They say I’m too big to be with her." They vlog their lives together because "Our life was just too lit to not have it on camera, it had to be known," Bri said. Being online has opened them up to commenters, some cruel about their mixed-weight relationship. "They say everything under the sun, 'whale', 'free w****, 'she gets the crown ‘cos she ate the last royalty," Marley explained. "In the beginning, everybody wanted us broken up. I think it was that we looked a bit weird to them. I don’t know what they’re talking about, cos I don’t see nothing. They say I’m too big for Bri, they ask if I’m her mom." This is despite the fact that they are only a few years apart in age from each other. The couple focus on their love rather than what others with prejudicial minds think. "I laugh at that stuff because I’m different, I know who I am, and I know I’m beautiful in and out. None of this affects me. It’s really funny to me. I stand high and look low," Marley said. "We fight that negativity with positivity for sure," Bri added while she beamed at her loved one. "I can handle all of [Marley], everything. We’re each other’s best friends." Marley agreed: "This is my person."

HONEY, 23, began dating Shawn, 51, after a chance encounter. "In 2018 we met at a vegan restaurant, we sat at the same booth and had a date we didn't plan," she explained. "We've been talking every day since." They quickly fell for each other, despite the 28-year age difference. "It just felt right," Shawn said. "I'd say it was love at first sight," Honey agreed. Commenters criticised their partnership once they started opening up about their relationship online. "They assume sugar daddy, sugar baby," Honey said. But this didn't bother Shawn who conceded: "She is old enough to be my daughter." Their match is even more unconventional, due to Honey's past romantic preferences. "Before we got together I was a lesbian," she explained. And despite their age gap, her family fully accepted Shawn. "They were never the biggest fan of me being a lesbian because my family is Haitian, Christian. It was never an issue on my end, even though he is older than me. They were just happy that future kids were happening." The same couldn't be said for Shawn's loved ones, with many of his support network raising concerns. In this episode of Love Don't Judge, the couple sit down to discuss the initial reservations of the family, with his cousin Dwain, and Dwain's wife Carlette. When asked about their reservations about the relationship Carlette said: "It could be a recipe for disaster. Not only is she a former lesbian but she's a lot younger than him. And I feel in a way, she's been somewhat attracted to me." But after a heated conversation with the age-gap couple Carlette admitted: "I really like Honey, I think you are a great person. I love you both." Whatever others think, Shawn knows that his love for Honey is real, and disregards criticism from the outside world: "To people who like to judge us, judge yourself, look at your own life. Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, could you take being judged?"

AT 410lbs, David Roden realised enough was enough and has now lost around 200lbs - nearly half his body weight. By the time David, from Grand Rapids, Michigan, was 15 years old, he weighed 300Ibs and had super high blood pressure. He told Truly: “I was 18 years old, weighed over 400Ibs and just fluctuated over the next few years till I was 22 which is when I really made the shift to take more control of the actions I was doing in my life." With an addiction to diet soda, David drank 15 to 20 cans a day and would drink privately rather than publicly. David knew he had to cut his weight in half and had a vision of looking 200Ibs lighter. After hitting 50Ibs down, everything changed and he felt in control to make it work. David continued: “I remember looking at myself in the mirror, and broke down crying. I changed not just physically but mentally and spiritually on how I treated myself and others around me. After that it was just a massive shift."

DANIEL, from Germany, has tattooed 98% of his body and hasn't seen his face in over 20 years... He has spent an eye-watering €30K on ink during his tattoo journey so far and has plans to continue until he is 100% covered. Daniel told Transformed: "I started to get face tattoos when I was 22 years old and I knew from the start that I would always be an outcast of society. When I did my first face tat, my mom cried a little bit but she knew I would always be her little boy." Daniel is constantly judged because of his body art, from people staring at him in the street to people assuming he is an 'evil person'. He said: "When they see my look, they think I'm a bad person, that I'm a drug dealer, that I do bad stuff, but actually I think I have a good heart. I try to help everyone that I love, I'm a positive guy, I'm a vegan... Just don't judge a book by its cover." Today, with the help of makeup artist Lina, Daniel will surprise his best friend 'Fetisch Barbie', by having his tattoos completely covered for the first time ever! But how will they feel seeing a brand new tattoo-less Daniel? Will he look like the same person?

JOYCELINE, 27, met Dino, 56, after he slid into her DMs on Instagram for her crochet business. Joyceline remarked: "He was literally looking for crochet for three of his girlfriends!" But when Dino met Joyceline in real life, he soon made sure that she was the only woman in his life. He explained: "We knew there was chemistry, we knew it was there." Soon enough the pair were married and were living in tropical paradise in Puerto Rico. However, the couple's age gap means that they often have to endure some harsh judgement. Joyceline, who is a beauty queen, is often accused of being a sugar baby. Dino quipped: "Let me tell you something. The rules when it comes to sugar babies and sugar daddies. Sugar daddies never marry sugar babies. They give them money to go home. It's that simple!" Today, the couple will be having a video call with Dino's daughters, Zaza and Antonette, to find out what they really think about their dad's relationship. Speaking candidly, Antonette admitted: "First thoughts were definitely I hope she's older than me!"

ADAM and Eve have been together for 10 years and started in a polyamorous relationship. Since 2020 they have dated about 60 people. They are dating coaches and have applied their knowledge to their own dating lives. Adam and Eve have five children and describe their parenting style as ‘pretty standard’. Eve said: “When it comes to our children we didn’t really sit down and have a specific conversation like ‘Mommy and Daddy are polyamorous’ - so for them it’s just another friend until about six months in.” Despite having dated around 60 people, the couple have only properly introduced three of their partners to their children. The couple have faced judgement about their dating lives and misconceptions about their behaviour in front of their children. Adam said: “I don’t believe our dating life impacts our children in any major way, other than to help them be more tolerant and open to other ideals.” They are currently in a relationship with Bella with whom they got romantically involved a few months ago. Their children adore her and especially enjoy baking with her. Eve said: “The best thing about being in a poly relationship is you’re making your own rules. It’s like you have your cake and eat it.”

What some call an obsession, Tracy says is a necessity, and the mum of two has spent in excess of £70K on an endless list of operations. Although she loves being a mum, Tracy hates what it has done to her body. Since giving birth she has subsequently had a designer vagina worth £5K, regular stomach tightening sessions to get rid of stretch marks, and a third boob job. Despite the criticism she faces, there’s no-one Tracy will listen to, not even her own children Millie, 13, and Gabriele, 8, who tell her she’s beautiful as she is. Next up, Tracy wants to get eyelid surgery at a whopping £4k, and she’s not told anyone yet… Videographer: Billy Lucas Producers: Joel Ross, Kim Nguyen Editor: Garry Sykes

VIDEL, 22, describes themselves as 'Chicago's Drag King' and loves performing their 'Spade Slick' alter ego. Videl created 'Spade Slick' as a "suave character, he's a little bit of a vigilante and a little bit of a heartbreaker". Videl explains to Transformed: "Having these alter egos is a form of self-expression and a further extension to show my art. It makes it feel like people will listen to me, people will see me on stage and pay attention to what I'm saying". Previously, Videl's partner Jade featured in Transformed and Videl's reaction to the makeover led to a lot of backlash with people commenting "they're a terrible partner" and "they should break up". So for one day only, the tables have turned and it's now Videl's turn to sit in the Transformation chair. Videl will transform from 'Drag King' to a 'Barbie glamorous girl' and will reveal to their partner Jade and their drag mother Famine. Will they love Videl's new glamorous look? Or will they have the same horrified reaction like last time? Follow Videl: https://www.instagram.com/rubberrhys/ Follow MUA Natalie: https://www.instagram.com/makeupbynattyz/

HOUSTON’S very own “bariatric bestie” Dominique, spent years feeling depressed about her body - not only how it looked, but by the things it hindered her from doing. From being embarrassed in public to her own private struggles with hygiene at 420lbs, Dominique says “she needed to make a change” in order to save her life.

SHARNA met her boyfriend Ricky three years ago on the way home from a night out. The pair have travelled the world as a couple and now live together in Queensland. However, Sharna also has men pay to date her online. Through her spicy online content, clients can text, video call and even have dates with Sharna. A 10-minute call with her will set a man back $1000. She admitted that balancing her real-world relationship with her business was tricky to begin with. "We've had parts in our relationship where it has affected it. I would be spending too long messaging my online boyfriends," she said. Some of Ricky's old friends were calling her "nasty names" in a group chat telling him not to "date her or trust her." His parents were sceptical at the start, but after seeing their relationship grow together they are on board. "They are excited seeing us travel around the world," Sharna said. "And living our best life," Ricky added. Online, commenters have s*** shamed Sharna, calling her a "h**" and an "absolute tramp." But the couple said that the judgement has brought them closer. Sharna explained: "I always have Ricky here to support me." He agreed: "As long as we've got each other. It's like having a best friend and a partner all in one."

WE first met Lizzy Long Legs on truly's Dating Different and now she's back - but this time she's dating fellow content creator, Candie Dixon. Speaking to Love Don't Judge, Lizzy said: "Part of the reason why I opened myself up to women is that I'm so fed up with being messed around by men." The women started off as best mates but soon realised there was something more. Candie explained: "It was just natural, we spent so much of our life together that we just grew into that." However, with Lizzy standing at 6ft 3" tall and Candie a significantly shorter 4ft 9", the pair's height difference often attracts unwanted attention. Candie revealed: "Every time we go out, people stare at us. I'm holding hands with someone who is so much taller than me. I kind of get nervous sometimes because I think, do they think that I'm your daughter?" Agreeing, Lizzy added: "I think it's a projection of men's insecurities over a woman being so much taller." Today, we'll be hearing how the couple deals with harsh criticism and how they went from being content creator besties to madly in love. Candie concluded: "There's nothing that I don't like about Lizzy. Even her flaws and mood swings, I find them quite funny."

OLIVIA & Gage (known as Vista Wife & Vista Hubby) last appeared on LDJ over a year ago and since then, their app "SwingHub" has made them over $1million. The couple put on lavish events all over the world where like minded individuals and couples join them for some intimate fun! In this episode, Olivia & Gage invite their swinging friends to a party they are hosting at The Vanilla Alternative, a regular spot where they hold events. Their swinging parties can have up to 300 people attend which ends up being “a very busy night”. At The Vanilla Alternative, we meet some of their friends who explain that people often misjudge their lifestyle and they have “lost a lot of friends due to it”. With one of them explaining “someone asked me why I don’t I just cheat on my wife instead”. The pair are seen as the Guru’s of the swinging world, a far stretch of where they were when we met them last year. Even so, they continue to get backlash on social media from people who think they should "just get a divorce”. Olivia and Gage say their lifestyle has only made them stronger and there’s another world outside of monogamy.

WHEN Arrogrance spotted Zyion at a barbecue, she was smitten. Recalling the story to Love Don't Judge, she explained: "I was like, 'Who is that chocolate drop? I need him, I'm going to get him.'" And that's exactly what she did. The pair fell in love and married, but throughout their relationship, Zyion had spent time behind bars. He said: "By the time I'm done with this ankle bracelet, I've given the adult prison system 10 years of my life." During his most recent stint behind bars, Arrogrance doted on her man, spending over $80,000 on new clothes, cologne and lobster dinners. Documenting her life as a prison wife online, she encountered lots of negativity. Arrogrance admitted: "Social media is crazy. We have seen a lot of judgement. Basically, what do I get out of holding me down in prison? This guy said I was glorifying prison." While Zyion was in jail, the couple were allowed conjugal visits, which led to them conceiving their baby, who is due in a few months. With Zyion now out of prison, the couple are looking forward to the future, but Arrogrance's sister, Dorothy, still has reservations. Speaking about Zyion, Dorothy said: "I'm just going to ask him, what are you going to do for my sister? Is he going to take care of this kid? Is he going to be there for her? I think he's using her." Ignoring the judgement, Arrogrance concluded: "I just want to let people know, don't listen to outsiders. If you're happy, you're happy."

KATIE and Ness met at the daycare they both worked at and soon fell in love. When Kaylie also started working at the same daycare, the three became best friends and Kaylie was even maid of honour at Katie and Ness' wedding in 2021. However, a shift soon emerged between the three. Ness told Love Don't Judge: "I was attracted to Kaylie right off the back," and Katie admitted to Kaylie: "Every time you walked in, I would get nervous and make sure I look okay." Katie and Ness had a conversation, where they both revealed that they were attracted to Kaylie. Ness said, "It felt weird to say it out loud and to agree with one another, we both have feelings for our best friend." It wasn't until November 2022 on a trip to Disney World, when the three had an honest conversation and established themselves as a throuple. Kaylie revealed: "It was very natural for us because we already had that dynamic of the three of us always being together." The throuple often get stared at when out in public and online things are also tough. Ness said: "We certainly get comments. Usually it's just single word comments like 'gross', 'disgusting' and 'wrong'." Today, their friend Kristina will be heading over to reveal what she thinks about the relationship, stating: " I don't think I could share the person I love." Reflecting, Kaylie said: " Our relationship works because we have the foundation of being best friends."

AT his heaviest, Stephen Campolo from New York, weighed 305lbs and was struggling as an obese teenager. Aged 13, and Stephen was 100lbs overweight with zero confidence and got bullied by other children. Stephen told Truly: “Being overweight was a death sentence. When you're young, you're a teenager, people judge you on your appearance. I got bullied a lot, I got called fat boy. My last name is Campolo, so kids would call me fat Polo”. Stephen was fed up, no girls wanted to talk to him and he was even rejected by his crush. When Stephen broke his finger at 14, the doctor delivered some life changing news. “The doctor told my dad 'your son is clinically obese, he has to make some type of lifestyle changes or he's going to have some serious health complications'. So if I hadn't broken my finger and had to go to the doctor, I would have never known that I was clinically obese." In order to make a difference, Stephen made lifestyle changes, stuck to a strict new diet and ran every night. “I lost a bunch of weight, I wanted to build my body, be confident with myself, feel strong, feel sexy and feel confident!”

WHEN Sara and Matt previously featured on truly, Sara had been banned from their children’s sports games because of what she does for a living. The mother-of-four is an adult content creator and since the previous episode, things have not improved. Sara said: “The judgement has… Gotten worse because people knew they could do things to our family and it affect our kids.” They have made the decision to move not just to another city, but another state - to Las Vegas. Matt said: “We’re removing ourselves from this situation and we’re going to try to move somewhere where it’s not such a big deal - it’s not the talk of the town.” The former hair salon owner started creating content in 2020 and now makes approximately $50,000 a month. Matt helps Sara create content and manages her schedule - together the couple ‘manage chaos’ of the household together. Their children know Sara is a model and influencer but not the full extent of her work. Sara said: “Our children don’t know exactly what we do for a living, I would say that they have an idea. We have been very secretive in, I guess, sheltering them.”

AT her heaviest, Danitza Casas, 32, from Scottsdale, Arizona weighed 350lbs. Nicknamed ‘Gordita’ or 'Chubby girl', when she was young, the weight gain accelerated in Danitza’s adult years when she partied hard and lived on a diet of unhealthy junk food. Outwardly Danitza seemed confident and the life of the party but inside she admits using humour and a larger than life personality to mask her insecurities and the disgust she felt with her body. After going to the hospital for what she thought was a heart attack – but in fact turned out to be a panic attack, Danitza knew she needed to change her lifestyle. Starting with short walks, she progressed to spin classes, then met her personal trainer Bo, losing 200lbs. Follow Danitza here: https://www.instagram.com/xoditzy/ https://www.facebook.com/ditzy.casas
