Oxygen Media has pulled the plug on the controversial reality special All My Babies’ Mamas as pressure mounted from Change.org, Parents Television Council and other organizations outraged over the show’s premise about rapper Shawty Lo, his 11 children and their 10 mothers. Author Sabrina Lamb started a petition on Change.org urging Oxygen to pull support for the show shortly after it was announced in December. The organization said it gathered more than 37,000 signatures in support of its campaign which culminated this morning in simultaneous petition deliveries to the offices of Oxygen, NBC Universal and Comcast in New York City, Los Angeles and Philadelphia. “I am pleased that Oxygen Media has heard the outrage of over 37,000 consumers and shareholders who said, ‘enough is enough,’” Lamb said in a statement. “We will not support any network and advertiser which exploits the plight of children and targets young women with stereotypical, dangerous, unsafe messages. Change.org said it was notified of the decision in a statement from Oxygen. “As part of our development process, we have reviewed casting and decided not to move forward with the special”, Oxygen said. “We will continue to develop compelling content that resonates with our young female viewers and drives the cultural conversation.” All My Babies Mamas was slated to premiere in the spring.

“reviewed casting”??? c’mon Oxygen. We’re not stupid. Why can’t you just say “we fucked up”?
Jesus Christ. Nobody learns. It’s not always what you do but how you handle the repercussions.
Disgusting.
Seriously, what is so offensive about a male version of BAD GIRL’S CLUB? This man’s story is real and relevant. And if done right, it’s not about him at all, but the WOMEN around him, the choices they made, the reasons they made them, blah, blah, blah…
Pussies. It ain’t worse than “Bad Girls Club”
Good riddance!
Now cancel all the Real Housewives shows next!
Now, if E! would only follow suit and kill the KKK, life would be great!
This is so hypocritical… Why not cancel honey boo boo, real housewives and the rest of the reality trash
A network that actually listened to the general public? AMAZING!
This show was garbage from the moment it left a conference room as someone’s brilliant idea to attain laughs at someone’s expense.
Now if TLC can get their heads out of their asses and get rid of this Honey Boo Boo pile of turd and the rest of their crap programming in the process.
its ony 37,000 people. Its a free country and they should be able to put on what they want, people dont have to watch.. Personally I didnt even know this channel existed anymore. I know it used to be a high brow Oprah project that turned into gutter reality shows that make E and TLC look classy
Plus its all about ratings and there are other shows out there much trashier. heck, the queen of reality KK is having a baby with one guy while married to another and her mom pimps out all the kids. Weve got HoneyBooBoo where most people are laughing at them not with them. We got a guy with 4 wives and over a dozen kids – I could go on and on and it gets even worse than these. So why not a guy with 10 baby mamas – Dont you think that might be as interesting as anything else. People tune into sister wives to see how all the women deal with being ‘shared’ and all the kids etc. People are fascinated with famlies with lot of kids (all the sextuplet shows, duggars, etc) so why wouldnt this be as valid an idea as anything else. Let it air and succeed or fail on its own. I might watch it once – see how it is – how does he raise the kids with so many women – do they get involved with one another – how often does he see the kids – is he paying child support for all of them – do the exes every watch the other kids – is he still involved with any of the moms – how do they feel about his actions and all the half sibling sthey have….ITs as valid a premise as any other exploitive reality show
What dumbass thought this was actually a good idea for a show??
