According to Voorhies, 38, she is not seeing a doctor, she is not bipolar and she does not hear voices, contrary to recent rumors.

Last month, Voorhies and her mother Tricia spoke to Peoplefor what the actress believed would be a career update. In the article, Tricia claimed that her daughter has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Likewise, former co-star Dustin Diamond told the magazine that he felt Voorhies "wasn't the Lark [he] knew" when he met with her in 2003 to record commentary for a Saved by the Bell box set.

"I don't understand why they chose to take that angle, quite frankly," says Voorhies, who maintains that she isn't taking the claims personally. "I can only come forward to correct and state for the true record what is in fact factual."
