TV personality Iyanla Vanzant spoke on the Tamron Hall Show on October 27 and said she’s taking a break from her show, Fix My Life, after reportedly receiving death threats for years.

After filming her show for nearly ten years, Vanzant revealed that besides the death threats, she’d gotten messages on social media from viewers of the show and calls to her cell phone from people who were seeking her help and guidance.

“I’m very sensitive to energy. Because you go into people’s homes [On her show Iyanla, Fix My Life], you’re in their bathroom, you’re in their kitchen, and then they think they know you and they think they have a right to say certain things because we’re not clear and conscious of the energy we send out,” she said. “So through the emails, through the social media, people would come into my home. I was getting death threats because they didn’t like something I said about it. And I’m like, I want to be free of this. I don’t want this. I got death threats around certain shows, around certain issues, around things that I said.”

She continued: “People would come to my home, you know because with the internet, they can find you anywhere. They would call me, ‘I know you don’t know me, but I need help.’ Wait a minute, hold up! I have so many vehicles and avenues where I serve people. I’m on social media. I have classes, I teach. You don’t get to call me on my private phone at two o’clock in the morning. So I just wanted to be free of that. That was more important to me.”

Vanzant also opened up about how her daughter, Gemmia, who died in 2003 of colon cancer, affected her. Specifically, she highlighted her difficulty assisting others when she felt hopeless within her personal life.

“I’m flying all over the world helping people and supporting people. Then as ‘Mommy,’ my pup was sick, and there was nothing I could do,” Vanzant said. “You know, cancer is a formidable challenger. So I’m like, ‘how can I help people save their lives and fix their relationships while my child is sick and there’s absolutely nothing I can do but stand here.’”

She added, “Of course, it was the ego just making me crazy, but I was walking around feeling like ‘if I can’t help my own, how can I help other people?’ It was really a challenging time. It was really a challenging experience.”
