‘Toddlers & Tiaras’ Mom Gives Dr. Drew A Taste Of Go Go Juice, Earlier this month, TLC came under heavy fire after airing footage of 6-year-old Alana apparently being doped during a beauty pageant show on “Toddlers & Tiaras.” The mystery of the Go Go Juice has just been solved.

Those not familiar with the TLC series should just know that it centers around moms and daughters who take part in kiddie beauty pageants.

June Holler from Virginia came to international media attention after she was shown giving Alana a drink she called the “Go Go Juice,” one that would make her more “lively” for the shows, as we also reported at the time.

Dr. Drew tested the beverage on one of his recent shows, as the video below will confirm.

June and Alana came on (with Alana in full makeup and costume mode), bringing along a bottle of the controversial concoction, which, until now, was believed to be either caffeine- or alcohol-based.

It turns out the former option is the correct one: Holler is giving her daughter a combination of Mountain Dew and Red Bull.

Toddlers & Tiaras Lawsuit

Toddlers & Tiaras Lawsuit, There’s yet another scandal involving TLC’s Toddlers & Tiaras. And this time, it’s a pageant mom on the offensive.

Parents on the reality show about child beauty pageants have often been accused of sexualizing their kids (one tot was dressed like a prostitute). But one mom blames the media, and she has sued several outlets, including TMZ and the Huffington Post, for $30 million, E! Online reports.

Susanna Barrett has filed a $30 million libel suit against the parent companies of TMZ, the Huffington Post, London’s Daily Mail for their allegedly “brazen attempts to sexualize” her 5-year-old daughter.

Barrett points to a TMZ video showing little Isabella singing LMFAO’s Sexy and I Know It in a restaurant. The New York lawsuit says the video and reports that “blew the entire performance out of proportion” aim to turn her daughter into a sex object and are putting the child in danger.

Isabella Barrett did not act or portray herself sexually, erotically or provocatively; she was not ‘gyrating’ at a ‘nightclub’ or singing ‘about her sex appeal,’ ” Barrett’s complaint states. “She did not understand the concept of sex, let alone ‘sex appeal’ and could not have been singing about her own sex appeal.”
