Wife Swap $100 Million Sue

Reality TV "Brat" Suing ABC's Wife Swap for $100 Million, A teenage beauty queen, featured on the hit ABC show, "Wife Swap", is suing for $100 million. Alicia Guastaferro, 18, is a member of the family featured on the show two years ago. Guastaferro claims that the show framed scenes to make her look like a spoiled brat. Since the show aired, she claims of having received death threats and having suicidal thoughts.

The episode that features her family focuses heavily on her. She is described as the "princess of pageantry" and receives presents on a daily basis from her parents. The family keeps a Christmas tree year round where her daily gifts are placed.

"Wife Swap" focuses on matching up families of different lifestyles and backgrounds and switching the mothers. Guastaferro claims that they show put too much emphasis on her, and not her mother.

Guastaferro also claims that she has had to transfer schools in upstate New York since the airing and has gone from the honor roll to being a special education student. The dropping of school levels probably was in part due to statements made by her mother during the taping of the show. Mrs. Guastaferro freely talked about -- and demonstrated -- how she would complete her daughter's homework. "She doesn't have time!"

"I feel the way to Alicia's happiness is, give her everything she wants. Don't give her any rules. Why upset her?" Karen boasted.

There is currently no court dates set for this lawsuit.

On a personal note, I remember this episode. The girl was beyond a spoiled brat. Her mother did her homework on a daily basis, because according to the mom of the year, the daughter just didn't have time....much more important things to do besides useless school work. She never did housework, and was spoiled daily with gifts. The fact that this girl is following all the other happy suers is just another example of what is wrong with people and their work ethic. The family signed up for the show, voluntarily, and they aired their laundry on a nationally broadcast show, voluntarily. If Ms. Guastaferro came out looking like less than a rose, maybe she should have watched what she said on the show. Just an idea.

Kardashian LaChapelle Christmas card 2013

Kardashian LaChapelle Christmas card 2013, Kardashians leave no stones unturned in making their annual Christmas card as larger than life as possible, but for this Christmas, they might have gone a tad overboard as it cost $250,000 for their latest move of self-glorification; obviously the Kardashian Klan didn’t shell out a penny for it. You can see big hair and high fashion but the card shows no Lamar, Scott, Kanye or Rob. Kim Kardashian was more than excited to see the concept of the new card, as she mentioned trying new things was something that excited her the most. Before the shoot, the entire family was seen sitting around in their robes and jammies, discussing the previous Christmas holidays, presents and much, sipping their favorite champagne throughout the time. The Drama The off-beat or rather intricate Christmas card shows us the five sisters Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner along with their parents Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner. They are seen in...
