Is Nicole Wallace okay?

My husband and I have been concerned about her. She has scaled back on her hair and makeup which is certainly her choice and not an issue, but she seems to have lost weight. Her cheeks are a bit hollow and her neck seems gaunt. She also has red patches on her neck.

She mentioned recently that she watches hours of video regarding Trump and his antics. Certainly, that could take a toll.

Please know, i am a huge fan of Nicole's and this is in no way a criticism, just concern.

2. If she's at home, she doesn't have hair and makeup like when she's in the studio

Because it’s summer, she may be broadcasting at home while her son is home on break.

8. I agree. For the most part she's been broadcasting from home.

On her podcast with Rachel they both talked about how neither are into hair and makeup and find it difficult to look like the pros do it.

4. I think it may be due to having a newborn home. Probably lack of sleep with the new baby. My two cents.

24/7 demands.
No sleep.

She does not care about make up and clothes at a time like this?

She does minimal makeup. Most likely lack of sleep combined with a busy life. Having a two young children in the mix means exhaustion is a given.

No kidding I am really experiencing fatigue lately. And I think it’s just circumstances getting the better of me.

I am concerned about people who have to follow his antics for their jobs. We often have to take a break for our mental health.

14. Yes, I've been noticing lately. I'm glad I don't work for a newspaper anymore. Retirement is good.

Actually, I was grateful. I was retired by the time Covid hit. I can’t even imagine what kind of photography I would’ve had to do.

I think that watching that much video about Trump is extremely toxic and can poison an individual. Consuming this does affect the body and mind. You are what you eat!

13. Its the weight loss that is the problem--she is skinny--look at her neck....

Something just seems to be very wrong with her physically. I have not seen her in a few weeks--maybe over a month-maybe more---Have been purposely avoiding TV.

But I saw the OP and turned on msnbc. The change is dramatic IMHO

is that Alex Wagner should not be a panelist on Nicole's show or anywhere else. She might think she is a devil's advocate, or something, but she is just a - fill in your own swear word.

Never mind the subject, Nicole, AW (appropriate initials) wants to talk about how Trumpers want Obama to be indicted and convicted of something! They've been very upset for a long time!

Shut up and go away, Alex.
