Oh dear god is anyone watching BBC1 at the moment? Sasha: Beauty Queen at 11

[Sidge]

Words fail me.

What a family.

[HuwEdwards]

wrong on so many levels.

[Sidge]

I have a nearly 10 year old and neither her nor none of her friends look anything like that.

Saying she's a reflection of society is just NOT TRUE.

[HuwEdwards]

the parents are monopolising and money-grabbing. Very sad.

[Sidge]

'Nor none of her friends'?

Heck I'm so gobsmacked I can't even form a grammatically correct sentence!

[Sidge]

I feel sorry for her brother as well.

[PenelopePitstops]

this is awful, NOT ALL 11yos dress/ make temselves up like that, its just not true!

[HumphreyPillow]

link to a thread on same programme from a few weeks ago

[HuwEdwards]

she's a fucking harridan the mother..

[MrTumbledoesmyheadin]

omg hes just said its great if she gets slagged off in the press as it least it will make her a household name!

dad of the year....NOT

[HuwEdwards]

she is the epitomy of the 'me, me, me' culture.

[HuwEdwards]

"I wouldn't say she's a pushy mum"???

deluded.

[Tidgypuds]

OMG

[EyeballsintheSky]

Poor, hideous, brainwashed child

Horrid, ignorant family.

[thumbwitch]

glad this has cropped up on BBC1 - i missed it on bbc3 and iplayer - although it is a bit like car-crash tv, isn't it

[Sidge]

Ah didn't realise it had been on before.

It gets worse doesn't it - the mum is just totally deaf to what everyon is telling her.

Ugh I think I'll go to bed now, I'm getting really cross with the TV!

[gigglewitch]

saw it t'other night on bbc3(?). hideous.
The mother definitely Has Issues

[PenelopePitstops]

omg, tha woman is awful!!

poor child, she really doesnt want to do it does she

[PenelopePitstops]

holy fark, look at those american pics :O:O:O

[Sidge]

Does anyone else think it's bizarre that the mum named her Sash-a? So she had intentions for her from the birth!

[thumbwitch]

that mum is a total freak. the daughter seems to vacillate between being the way her mum wants to be and not wanting to do it. Bet she's ruined by the time she's 20.

[gigglewitch]

yes sidge, DH said the same thing about the dc's names

[Tidgypuds]

Vile vile vile woman, that poor little girl.

[SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore]

i watched that on bbc3 not long ago me and dh were both sat staring at the tv just gobsmacked. poor child! and her mother is couple of sanwhiches short if you ask me!!

i think she is forcing her daughter to live out her her own dreams! my dd dances and while its a fuss sometimes you see that she loves it. she just shines when she gets on stage and talks about dancing constantly. i dont see that from sasha i just see a very sad and pressured little girl who is too afraid of upsetting her mother to admit that she doesnt like what she is doing. she seems to have no enthuiasm for any of it

[thumbwitch]

did she just compare having a daughter with having barbie dolls? as in daughters are harder than barbie dolls? Or did I mishear that?

[nancy75]

watched this a couple of weeks ago, my god that mother is awful, you can see that the poor little girl is not really in to any of this crap, its just the mum is so desperate to be famous. imo its child abuse
