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.

Andre, originally from England, and Marz, from Australia, have been together for one year after meeting in the adult industry. They both admit that to the outside world they share an unconventional relationship and suffer judgement because of it, according to them, people cannot understand how they can be in a healthy relationship when they both make adult content with other people. Andre and Marz both fell into OF after being strippers and in no way regret the decision as they say they both make six figures a year creating content. When they first got together they were open about jealousy and say they still are and as a result neither get jealous or sensitive if they are doing shoots separately. They chat about how each others day at work has been like any other couple. The couple often workout together so they “look good naked” and love to go travelling. In this episode they speak to their friend and colleague, Sienna, about working together as a three and what their relationship could look like in the future.

Jade developed this image after travelling and living in different countries until they found their style. Jade told Transformed: "I like to take weird things and make them very aesthetic and pleasing. Stuff like eyeballs, or gore, or cool contacts which make my eyes look really big. Anything with crazy details and making them really bright with colours - I love colour and big lips!" Jade used to get trolled for their creepy aesthetic in high school which is something that has stuck with them to this day. Jade said: "I used to get judged in high school, I got bullied for it, you know classic high school stuff. I would get really upset because of some of the comments that I got, but I wouldn't stop and I was really persistent in my fashion." Today, Jade is being transformed from 'Creepy Cute' to an 'Insta-baddie', which partner Spade and best friend Famine will never expect... Will they love Jade's new 'Insta-baddie' look? Or will everyone demand the return of the 'Creepy Cute' aesthetic?

SUBSCRIBE to Transformed: http://bit.ly/3t87o3v 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?

MISTRESS Marley, 30, has an unusual occupation. "I make six figures a year telling men what to do," she told Love Don't Judge. "I started this work six years ago, fresh out of grad school. I took a corporate job but I felt like I wasn't making any money from it, I was having a lot of anxiety." Sparked by her dissatisfaction and want for more, Marley Googled 'how to make money online as a woman', webcamming popped up as an option but it wasn't for her. Eventually, during her search, she stumbled across women on the internet earning their living by telling men to send them money and controlling their bank accounts. Her first cheque came in after she requested her $50 lunch bill to be paid. The money arrived straight away from a client, and her new career took off from there. Now Marley checks her online wallet each morning to see what her clients have sent her. "I had a client who sent me $1,000 to be unblocked, two hours later he sent me $2,500," she said. Marley's work also involves her clients doing her household chores, errands and life admin. During the episode, her regular client Beta comes to clean her home, which he relishes. "She gives me tasks, I enjoy to do it. I feel safe with her, that if anything goes wrong, she's always there for me to protect me." He continued: "Sometimes I feel that this is the purpose of my life. That I need to be of service for women, and especially for Mistress Marley." When asked what Beta gets out of the arrangement, Marley said: "As a reward, he gets to be in my presence." Marley believes her job also has a deeper meaning, due to her culture. "95% of my clients are white men, as a black woman I see my work as reparations." Marley shares some aspects of her work online and others have also filmed her in action. One such post went viral with one of her clients walking on a leash, and she received a harsh backlash, with some people sending her racist comments. She explained: "I had a white s** on a leash, next thing I know it was blowing up, going crazy. There were some people in my inbox calling me the n-word, saying 'you should be on a white man's leash'." Despite these comments, Marley believes in what she is doing. "This lifestyle has enabled me to create a better life for myself, I've been able to give myself that creative freedom to not feel that I'm behind bars or locked in a box. Judge all you want, but the money is hitting my account just the same."

A young bodybuilder has revealed how a move to a strict vegan diet ended his painful battle with cystic acne. Brian Turner, from California, transformed from a lanky, skinny, teenager to a buffed bodybuilder, but this impressive transformation included a long battle with cystic acne and severe depression. At 15 years old Brian started weightlifting and, in order to gain weight, would consume large amounts of dairy products. Within six months blackheads appeared on his previously clear skin, and within a year this turned into severe cystic acne. After years of trying different types of supposed remedies, Brian was eventually advised to lay off dairy products. Seeing the benefits to his skin and his bodybuilding, he eventually cut out all animal products and turned completely vegan. And his acne disappeared. With his Team Acne channel on YouTube, Brian wants to help others with their skin problems and insecurities. 27-year old Brian told Truly; “I have changed the way I look at my skin, even if I still have some blemishes or some marks, I feel confident and I love myself. Don’t let acne hold you back from living your life”. Follow Brian here: https://www.youtube.com/TeamAcne

ARABELLA, 22, from Mexico City, describes her macabre look as 'Vampire Goth', which was birthed from her love of all things horror! Arabella has always felt more comfortable in this dark, creepy and yet elegant aesthetic and loves the attention she gets because of it. Arabella told Transformed: "I started with the Trad Goth style then I discovered the Vampire then fell in love with it. I like horror books and films like Dracula, Frankenstein and Nosferatu. I love the creepy and romantic aesthetic... Pale skin and red eyes." Arabella truly found herself when she discovered the 'Vampire Goth' subculture as before this she always felt out of place. She said: "Before I discovered all of this world, I had a lot of insecurities about my style, but now I love who I am and love the way I look." Today, Arabella is stepping completely out of her 'safe zone' and with the help of makeup artist Ana, she is being transformed from 'Vampire Goth' To 'Instagram Glam'...

WHEN Blessings and Leeah first met, they identified as females in a lesbian relationship, but since then, things have changed. Speaking to Love Don't Judge, Blessings said: "Today, I stand before you as a transgender male and Leeah is pansexual." Blessings first realised he was transgender in high school, but it took him years to finally say it out loud. He explained: "I revealed to Leeah I wanted to transition in 2017. I was nervous, I was petrified. I thought I was going to lose the person I loved." Leeah added: "I had no idea Blessings wanted to transition prior to him telling me." Speaking about the judgement that they receive as a couple, Blessings said: "A lot of people think our relationship is lies. They think transgender people should not exist or don't deserve to live." In this episode of Love Don't Judge, Blessings' mom will be coming over to reveal what she thinks about the relationship. Reflecting on their love, Leeah said: "Blessings has changed my life for the better. Just allowing me to work on myself as an individual so that way also our relationship can grow. Our marriage can flourish."

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."

LAST TIME "one in a million" Levi featured on Born Different, he was 11 years old. Now, having just turned 18, truly returned to catch up with Levi and his parents, Dona and Joseph. Born with an ultra-rare form of dwarfism called Jansen's metaphyseal chondrodysplasia (JMC), Levi's bones throughout his body are affected - as mom Dona describes it: "The bones grow what we call 'wonky'." As a result, in the years since we last saw Levi, he has had major surgeries to his spine and legs that were "painful and hard." One of the surgeries even involved breaking his femurs to fit metal rods and fuse his legs straight. Levi has faced many months of gruelling post-surgery rehabilitation and even had to learn to walk again "3 or 4 times." But Levi has overcome all these challenges and an upcoming drug trial offers renewed hope for his future and the future of other people living with JMC. While he waits, he is busy enjoying the outdoors - and, being a keen fisherman, a GoFundMe has been set up to help him achieve his dream of catching a fish in each of the 50 US states. Despite the "degenerative" nature of Levi's condition, his dad, Joseph, points to the fact that "he never complains, he just ploughs on through... And usually with a smile on his face." And you would not bet against Levi's defiant promise to "keep on pushing" - as Dona states: "He's a fighter. This condition probably picked the strongest kid to head up on."

TORI SCOTT, from Baytown, Texas, has gone from over 300lbs to a bodybuilding competition - after losing a staggering 160lbs. She was overweight as a child and blamed her weight to binge and emotional eating. The turning point for Tori was when she saw pictures of herself during a vacation and was horrified. After feeling upset with the way she looked, Tori decided to have VSG surgery and began her weight loss and fitness journey. She started to visit the gym at least five times a week and began a vegetarian diet. Her newest goal is to push things even further and she is currently training for her first bodybuilding competition. She told Truly: "I want to be the healthiest, best version of myself when I walk across that stage to say goodbye to that 300lb version of myself."

TAYLOR Tate, 30, from California, dons an androgynous look which she describes as 'predominantly masculine'. Tay's look developed after she had a 'strict, religious upbringing' in the south of America. Tay told Transformed: "I grew up in the south. A bible belt area and that played into me really figuring out who I was with my sexuality, it was really difficult to express myself. I had to wear feminine clothes and wear things that made me uncomfortable." Now that Tay lives in California, she has found her style and who she really is; which is something her girlfriend Zashia adores about her. Today, with the help of makeup artist Jaycee, Tay is surprising Zashia by stepping out of her comfort zone and transforming into a 'super feminine' look for date night. Zashia has never seen Tay like this before, so will be in for the shock of her life... Will Tay begin to embrace her more feminine side after the transformation? Or will she long for her androgynous look to return?

JADE and Dimetrius have been together for a year. Jade is a furry and content creator which Dimetrius helps out with, alongside his full-time job. She has been a furry for over five years and it has become a major part of her lifestyle. She’s spent over $25,000 on fursuits and has travelled for multiple conventions. The couple recently started living together and have decided to venture out from her usual posts to support themselves: "We make adult content with fur suits," Jade said. They are harshly criticised on social media for their decision to do so. Comments include: "all furries should be burned at the stake", "he's a dog f*****", and claims that they are attracted to animals. But for Jade, "the most important thing is when the support comes in from [Dimetrius] and he helps me, he's there for me, he supports me through everything." Dimetrius had a message for those casting doubts around their new income stream: "I'd say to anybody judging us, look at yourself first, because you see two people that are happy." He has lost some of his support network because of his girlfriend's alter ego. "Friends? I don't really have any left from them finding out," he explained. In this episode of Love Don't Judge they will be sitting down with one of his remaining allies, Cade, to reveal to him for the first time the kind of content they are putting out online.

FOR LX Xander, one girlfriend just isn't enough. The music producer currently has six women on the go, but he's always looking for more. Speaking to Love Don't Judge, he explained: "It wasn't really a conscious decision for me to all of a sudden become polyamorous. I just found that traditional monogamy didn't really work with me in how I function as a human being." But not everyone approves of his unconventional lifestyle and LX Xander explained: "I definitely receive quite a lot of judgement. 90% of it is from men. They'll say things to try to make it look like it's fake or like I'm paying them. I think for some men, seeing the way I live is quite a hit to their ego." In this episode of Love Don't Judge, two of LX Xander's girlfriends, Nia and Avery, come by to hang out with LX Xander and meet Dani, who is potentially going to become girlfriend number seven. Dani said: "When he told me he had six girlfriends it didn't really bother me. As long as they're ok with doing what he does, I don't really see the issue." LX Xander's friend, Eli, will also reveal what he thinks about LX Xander's love life. Concluding on his polyamorous choices, LX Xander revealed: "I think people don't understand that actually I'm quite affectionate and warm. I really have real, meaningful relationships with people."

AYLA and David met on Instagram and sparks flew when they decided to meet in person. David admitted to Love Don't Judge: "I was attracted to her the second I saw her and I knew that she was attracted to me, too." When they initially started chatting, Ayla revealed to David that she was trans. "I was incredibly nervous. I expected to get some aggressive messages," she explained. But an unfazed David said: "It was never anything to me. I've only ever seen Ayla as a woman and that was it." At times, family has struggled to accept the relationship which has been tough for Ayla. Opening up, she said: "It was really hard for me. Nothing positive from family." Ayla's transition started when she was 24 and since then she's had multiple cosmetic surgeries and procedures. Ayla said: "I've always been drawn to the plastic look. I need to have this surgery done." In this episode of Love Don't Judge, the couple will give us an insight into the judgement they often cop and Ayla's future surgery plans. Summarising on their relationship, David said: "Nothing's forced, nothing's tried. I can be completely myself."

WE first met Willow, 24, on Love Don't Judge back in 2022, but since then, the model has split from her past partner and has a new man, Rob, 60. The couple knew each other for years, but only recently got together when Willow found herself in LA and decided to hit up Rob. He explained: "I was actually half asleep. I was laying down, I was exhausted. I heard her voice saying she was in LA and probably had the fastest shower and hair blowout I've ever done in 60 years." Things moved fast and within just 30 days of dating, Willow's mum, Deborah, married the couple. Reflecting, Willow gushed: "Our wedding day was incredibly casual, it was just focusing on pretty much how we love each other and that's it." But despite their happiness, they're often judged for their 35-year age gap. Willow said: "They call me the black widow because this is like my second or third age gap relationship. I don't know why they're calling me that?" Today, we'll hear how the couple's relationship developed after all these years and why they are madly in love. Summarising, Rob said: "Has she changed my life? She's completed it. I'm done."

ANYONE who has doubted Hayley Westoby has only empowered and motivated her. The 29-year-old from Sydney was determined to prove the people who said she could not lose weight wrong.

However, over the course of three years, Hayley dropped 143lbs as well as those who doubted her. She now loves the life she leads and is surrounded by supportive people.

CHANCE, from Saskatchewan, Canada, struggled to control his weight from a young age, using food as a source of comfort. As he grew older, the problem snowballed and he was regularly eating over 10,000 calories a day. His mental health suffered as a result of his size and Chance found himself losing control: "I wasn't working, I was very depressed, it definitely affected my marriage. It really messed a lot of things up." Chance's weight took a toll on his physical health too - numerous trips to hospital and a brush with death when an infection turned septic meant that Chance's wife Jen never knew whether he would still be alive when she came home from work. During one of his last trips to hospital, a nurse took Chance's weight and he was shocked to hear that he had hit 600lbs. That was the turning point for Chance - and the people around him were on hand to help. A friend offered him nutritional advice, his cousin-in-law gave him the beginnings of a home gym and Chance committed to turning his life around. He lost an incredible 300lbs in just over a year and a half - hitting his initial goal in October 2020, and dropping from a 78" to a 38" waist. And although his loose skin left over from his drastic weight loss is something Chance still has to contend with on a daily basis, he is in a much better place: "Mentally now, I'm a lot more focused on my goals, focused on my future and focused on my life. I'm thankful for the things I have, I'm thankful for this second chance that I've been given." And he's not finished yet - Chance is now gearing up for the last push to hit his target weight of 250lbs. Follow Chance Here: https://www.instagram.com/chancefl_

SINCE losing 50kg and battling Lipedema, a young woman from Germany finally feels confident in her own skin. Sina-Laureen, 28, from Rostock, has struggled with her weight for years after being diagnosed with Lipedema, a disorder which causes an abnormal build-up of fat in the legs and arms, in 2017. At the beginning of 2020, Sina decided enough was enough. She told Truly: “I knew I had to change something, I couldn’t go on like this.”

KRISTINA and Sam met on holiday in Cuba and the attraction was instant. Kristina told Love Don't Judge: "I just couldn't stop looking at him!" and for Sam, his feelings were just as strong. "She was sitting across from me and she just looked gorgeous, beautiful. I was like, 'Oh I need this, I've gotta get this one'. It was love at first sight." Despite their love, the interracial couple are subjected to heaps of online hate and abuse. Sam explained: "When we first started posting online we were making memories because we love travelling and then it quickly turned into a lot of hate." In the real world, things are just as tough. Talking about the reactions they receive in public, Kristina said: "Sometimes if I look out of the corner of my eye, I can see the heat come from that person." Reflecting, Sam said: "It's very sad actually because we live in a diverse world. Everywhere you go now, you see brown, white, any kind of colour. So for the people who think like that in 2024, it's sad to me. The world has a lot of work to do and I hope in the future it's going to get better."
