Keyshia Cole has stated numerous times that she’d rather not have her family on television, but her mom Frankie and sister Neffe are going against her wishes once again and attempting to star in yet another reality show. This time around, they’ve roped in six other siblings who we have never met before for an intense Family Therapy experiment.
The family is airing out all the dirty laundry!
Back in 2010, Keyshia revealed she was done with her family over how they acted on the Frankie & Neffe Show. She said in a statement:
To all my friends and fans,
It’s time that I clear the air. It’s not a secret that I haven’t been in contact with my mother Frankie, and my sisters Neffe and Elite and I never wanted to air out our differences to the public. While I won’t go into detail here I find it necessary to let you guys know I decided to stop communication with them because I was at a point in my life where I needed serenity and peace to move forward. Please know I love my family very much but it was time to let it go. You guys are a witness to a lot of what was happening from watching on air and online. Now that I am becoming a mom my passion for having a loving and peaceful home for my child is my #1 priority. It’s very important to both Daniel and I. My plate is very full; I have a new baby coming, we are planning our wedding and I am working in the studio on a new album that I am close to completing. The stress that my family is giving me with their constant false reports is not healthy and it’s not what I need at this time in my life.
Later that year she told V-103 that the bond with her mom and sister was broken, even though she still had love for them.
The last thing I would want is to mess up someone’s character as a person but what we have going on behind closed doors is a whole ‘nother thing. A lot of my life has been viewed in the public eye. Everybody knows I really didn’t want them to do the show because I felt like if I wasn’t involved, some things were going to be out in the open that really shouldn’t.
I’ve spoken to Neffe, I speak to my mom and Elite. It’s not that I don’t forgive them, I just don’t know how to step back into that mode after what has happened. I don’t know how to deal with it. I’m here and I love them and I’ll do what I can as far as helping them out but as far as the bond right now, it’s kind of broken.
