Pageant Mom: Did She Put Her Daughter in Danger? (12x56)

Udgivelsesdato: Nov 26, 2013

Pageant mom Lori made national headlines last year, after she was featured on a reality TV show, bleaching her then 9-year-old daughter, Alaska’s, teeth and dyeing the girl’s eyelashes, while she appeared to cry out in pain. Now, Lori is in the news again, after Alaska’s picture was posted on TheDirty.com, along with a man’s claim that he performed a sexual act while looking at the photo. Lori — whose 8-year-old son, Braxton, and 10-month-old son, Chandler, are also in pageants — says she did nothing wrong, and she wants her daughter’s photo removed from the site. Lori and her fiancé, Jay, contacted authorities and say they were told that nothing could be done, since they put their child in the national spotlight. When the couple faces the site’s founder, Nik Richie, will he agree to take down the post? And, does Lori take any ownership in the situation? Then, 21-year-old mother of three Brittany made headlines last year after she got drunk and had sex with a 14-year-old boy — who she claims she thought was older — and later learned she was pregnant, while engaged to another man. Brittany was arrested and pleaded guilty to felony sexual assault and was sentenced to two years’ probation. Why does she blame the boy for what happened to her? And, does she know who fathered her youngest child? Plus, Dr. Phil digs deep into Brittany’s life to find out why she’s making destructive decisions and offers her help in moving forward. Can she learn to make better choices? This program contains strong sexual content. Viewer discretion advised.
