>> you told me when you immediately made the announcement, you felt vulnerable. >> yes. >> i was surprised to hear you say shame and guilt. why would you feel shame? >> it sounds crazy, but when i think, you know -- when you hold a secret, the feelings just come along with that, especially when you hold a secret as long as i did. you know, with something like ms, you know, you lose control over things that you once had. it slowly is taken away from you. it can chip away at your self-worth, and you can feel lessened. a lot of negative feelings. you have to ask for help sometimes, which is something i'm not good at doing. but you have to be able to reach out. when you have a good support system, like i have, i think it helps a lot. it took me this long to be able to do this. >> your diagnosis came 15 years ago. your symptoms at the time were what? >> at the time, were minimal.

i was scared, and i thought that was the best thing. >> i was reading that you did ates on the "sopranos" a couple years later. you know what i liked? they kept it a secret. >> they did. >> these friends, co-workers, never leaked it. nobody, not once. >> them and my friends and my family, they have fiercely e years. they've wanted me to come out and encouraged me, and i just wasn't ready. i was afraid. but i'm not anymore. >> you know, what was the reason to say now? >> yeah. >> you told me something in the commercial break, that you had actually prepared a post that you wanted to release when you made this announcement. it had been on your computer about six months. >> yeah. i feel like motherhood really changes -- changed me. it changes everyone. i didn't want to bring my son up in a home where he felt like he had to hold this secret for me,

i n wanted to be an example of strength and show him that despite what i have or my limitations, that everyone is deserving of opportunity and love and respect. you know, sometimes we have to work a little bit harder for it, but maybe it'll be a good example for him. >> you released a couple of tweets on that day, and you said, this is a hard but liberating day for me, and i hope together, we can help others and fight on. you said, i'm overwhelmed with all of you today. thank you from the bottom of my heart. i don't feel so alone. >> i was so overwhelmed with -- i didn't anticipate the level of responsibility that i now feel, of representing a group of people that suffer in silence. maybe don't feel represented. ms is different for everyone. it looks different in everyone. it's a hd tng to diagnosis. it's a hard pill to swallow. 's a frustrating disease and, you know, i know there's a lot of people that are better off than me and a lot of people that

i really hope i can change people's idea of what the disease is. >> the industry person that you told this to years ago, who said, don't ever tell anyone else this, do you feel differently now? do you want to work more? >> yes. >> do you think you'll be received with open arms? >> i hope so. i'm excited about the future. i'm excited to go back to work without feeling this -- that i have something to hide. i feel like i'll be a better actress now. i can show up and be me. i've been working with this disease. i've been working all these years. it was hard, but i'm really looking forward to the future. i understand that some people may not want to hire me and some people may. i'm open to it. i have every intention of continuing my career. >> if people don't want to hire you, their loss. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i appreciate it. jamie-lynn, great to see you. >> you, too. al, let's get a check of the weather. >> lot of bravery.

>> drop this! about to be served. we'll have two justice platters. did you want extra sauce? >> on the side. >> on the side. >> what is it about these films that makes them so special? >> i think anything that comes from such a good place is very special. the intention of this is to do something for children. you know, it's relatable for ceverybody. really, it's for children and it has beautiful messages of embracing who you are, being a family, loyalty, understanding all different types of family, all different types of beings and finding yourself. >> reporter: this time around, it's a family affair. four of the jolie-pitt keds and black's son samuel had roles in the movie. >> how was it working with your kids? >> it was so much fun. >> they took it seriously. i'm not sure i can do this. you know, to talk them through

other way. let's talk about why donald trump is in the news this mo rning. he says he's going to skip tomorrow night's debate on fox over concerns that he would not be treated fairly by fox moderator megyn kelly, and he's not been treated fairly in general, particularly yesterday, by fox news. he posted this video on instagram yesterday. >> megyn kelly is bias against me. she knows that. i know that. everybody knows that. do you really think she can be fair at a debate? >> the bad blood, of course, between trump, fox news and megyn kelly goes back to the first fox debate in august. she led off the debate with a tough question, asking about his passed comments on women and he took exception to it. fox fired back with a statement accusing trump's campaign manager with threatening megyn kelly. saying, quote, we can't give into terrorizations toward any employees. trump is welcome at thursday night's debay and will be

dictate the moderators on the questions. what trump took exception to was not that part. there was an earlier statement about them being snarky about him and megyn kelly, putin and how to handle iran. he said, enough is enough cht i . i don't need you. >> fox stoked the flames. >> it's hard to stoke the flame when the flame is on fire. have you ever seen when donald trump went on wwe? >> sure. >> if you put that clip of him saying, i'm not going -- and his appearance of the wrestling thing, it's very similar. he's taken a page out of vince mcmahon's play book on success. >> he's done everything in his own way. >> rewritten the rules. he's put the wwe rules into politics. ted cruz -- >> he wants a mano-e-mano debate. the trump campaign said, no. we're going to do a parallel

benefit veterans groups. he said, i'm not going to show up and bring my 20 million viewers to you, fox. i'll show up with my 20 million viewers and raise money for wounded warriors. what network says, i'll give you the platform? >> hey, donald. >> think someone will take him? here's the thing, he doesn't neyied g network. people will take it live, i think. >> you think cable news -- so fox is on the debate, and then the alternative would be msnbc and cnnd >> they don't have to sanction it. they can take it live as an event in their broadcast. >> it'll be interesting. >> i'm not convinced he doesn't show up and they don't work it out. >> i don't think so. he's already said, that's it. his campaign manager said. on "morning joe" when you talked to him, he said it's a don deal. >> welcome to show business, baby. >> maybe they're in it together.

>> illon't think it's conspiracy, but i think they know it benefits both. >> it helped megyn kelly. >> she was a star and it eltoated her. sh e's brilliant at what she does. i think it's real because he took on -- it was all fun and games until you go after someone who is one of the most powerful people in television. he's done that now. he said his word is his bond. straight mafia. i don't think he's going to show up. e> he has the most to lose, perhaps. right now, he's writing his own roles. let's talk super bowl. we get super bowl ads. we're getting a sneak peek. a amazon set to release its first ever super bowl ad. i thought they had an ad before but i guess not. a look at their campaign leading up to super bowl sunday. ta mke a look. >> cheerleaders. >> cheerleaders? marino, i thought you were the
