This isn't a reality show like on VH1. This is a documentary. I like stories like this because they are so personal and you can relate to people like this. The little girl wanting to make it. Her dad having to raise her by himself with no money. This is the real American story. Not Flavor of Love.

I know a lot of single dads who have aspirations fore their children and want the best for them but they have jobs!!! Yes it's true he is raising her but he also sees her as his meal ticket...his nickname should be "Joe Jackson"

I get that, but I wouldn't want all of this personal stuff shown to the world. I'd want my privacy and I'd be embarrassed by some of it. Stuff like this happens every day and no one is to blame for it really, but I just couldn't share this all. It's like exploiting my family,

I could never let a camerman follow me around with such personal stuff. That's why I don't get reality tv shows, but this is all real which makes it even worse for me.
