"My mom is just so jealous": "Toddlers & Tiaras" contestants tell all
Regular viewers of "Toddlers & Tiaras" (Wed, 10 p.m. ET on TLC) have grown accustomed to the questionable parenting decisions, tantrums and controversies on the show.
However, they rarely get to hear just exactly what the children themselves are thinking, so the latest episode was an eye-opener. "My mom is just so jealous to me!" said five-year-old Bridget. "She just wants to be on stage."
Meanwhile, eight-year-old Daisy Mae summed-up her view of the world: "Facial beauty is the most important thing in life."
“Toddlers & Tiaras” airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.
