Thousands of people are protesting the new show being launched on Oxygen TV which is centered around Atlanta rapper Shawty Lo, his ten children, all of the mothers to his children as well as his new 19-year-old girlfriend.
Oh my!
There was a video that leaked showing a preview of the show and the video has now been removed. There is also an online petition circulating the web which is picking up a lot of attention and a lot of signatures.
The petitions creator, Sabrina Lamb said:
"By pushing these degrading images, your company seeks to profit from the humiliation of girls and women and the blatant stereotyping of African-Americans. We think Oxygen and the show’s creators and producers have gone too far and if this show is aired, we will, without hesitation, boycott any and all companies that advertise during this minstrel show,” she wrote.

All My Babies’ Mamas” was created by Liz Gateley and Tony DiSanto of DiGa Vision. This duo is the creative force behind hit shows like TRL, Run’s House, Nick Cannon Presents Wild ‘N Out and more.
All My Babies’ Mamas is slated to debut in the Spring of 2013.
