If you watch Loni Love weekdays on The Real, chances are the comedian is making you laugh out loud throughout every segment.

But on Monday's all-new episode, the former Chelsea Lately panelist got both viewers and fans alike emotional when talking about body image in and around Hollywood.

"These ladies make me feel really at home and welcome about my body," she shared before shedding a few tears. "They don't tease me."

Almost immediately, her co-hosts including Tamar Braxton, Jeannie Mai and Adrienne Bailon came to their friend's defense.

"Tease you for what?" Tamar asked. Jeannie added, "If anything, we molest you. We touch you too much." But as it turns out, the kind words and thoughtful gestures mean much more to Loni than the ladies may have first realized.

 "I don't feel good about myself sometimes so thank you," she said through tears. "The public compares me. They don't."

Joined by stylist and plus-size expert Marcy Guevara, the ladies also talked about the challenges plus-size women face in the wardrobe department when so many companies focus on smaller sizes.

"It is harder to dress a bigger woman no matter what anybody wants to say. When you get into the [size] 20s, it's hard," Loni shared. "But the thing about this show is that we have people that go out and designers like Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren are designing for us."

She continued, "I really want to thank them because people are responding to it. It's just an emotional moment."

Lucky for Loni, whenever she feels upset or down about her size, she knows to count on her co-workers who have quickly become like family.

"You're beautiful. You look stunning," a pregnant Tamera Mowry told her co-host. "You know I'm to the right of you and I'm always saying how beautiful you are because you are in the inside and out."
