Ok I have to laugh at this article! First of all the whole comment thing on Debbie Tye is a joke. First of all Tyra NEVER called Debbie an obsessed pageant mom, that is YOU calling her that. Debbie said to your face on that stage that she NEVER gave Emily pixie sticks and red bull for breakfast,but yet you had to put that in there. You have no clue on the tanning except for what you saw on the show from 4 years ago. I know for a fact that tanning is not done like that anymore and only take about 10 minutes. I find it quite funny that you took the comments off the bravo site on Debbie insteading of coming up with your own. Cant come up with your own comments? Little Emily is an amazing child with amazing communication skills and if she had the chance she would put Kendyl to shame. Kendyl didnt even know the color of her dress and stammered through her REHEARSED answers. You have no class and have proven here exactly what kind of person you really are. Oh and love the RETOUCHED picture above!! Thought you only did natural... LIAR
Let me just add that Lori knew about Debbie being on the show BEFORE Debbie was contacted. Debbie was told NOTHING so the look on her face was because she was PISSED at being thrown into something blind. She was told the show was going to be one thing and it ended up something else. I would look pissed too!
In my honest opinion I felt as though both the Moms made a fool of themselves. The Natural mom is so against the "fake" stuff about Glitz pageants but that photo of her child above is totally retouched AKA Enhanced. So really what is the difference? It's a fun hobby for most of us sane parents but some just take it to the extreme and ruin it for the rest of us.
While Lori and Kendyl appear to be a very poor choice on the part of the Tyra show as the child appeared unable to successfully communicate and represent herself and the mother contridicted herself several times which made her appear to be lying. To say that Debbie Tye showed poise and control is an utter JOKE! The entire portion of the show, she had a very sour look on her face and there was no self control or thought for her child shown when she immediately jumped at the opportunity to start a fight with the "natural" mom. Sadly, Emily sat there looking as though this was nothing new for her to see her mom embattled with another pageant mom. How hard would it have been for her to take 2 seconds, have Emily excused from the stage and proceed to argue her point with this mother making it clear not to speak in such a way in front of Emily??? Debbie seemed to forget poor Emily was even sitting there because well after all it is obvious that in Debbie's twisted head it is all about her and Emily is the stepping stone that gets her the attention she so desperately craves. I also want to say, as for Emily being so "well spoken" all I heard from her was the same thing she said on the taped snipet, it sounded very rehearsed and programmed.
