It’s well known that beauty pageant mums are quite competitive but one mum in the US has likened the experience to doing drugs.
The mum from Michigan named Kelly appeared the on the TLC show Toddlers in Tiaras in the US on Wednesday night.
“We do pageants because they’re fun and addicting,” she said.
“Pageants are just like drugs or alcohol. You do drugs because you want to get high. You do pageants because you want to win.”
And as scenes from the episode played out it is clear that she fully believes in this statement.
Kelly started the show on a high, as she prepared her two-year-old daughter Natalie for the show. But when things didn’t go her way, it turned ugly.
“Shut the front door!” Kelly said in shock when the results didn’t favour her little girl.
“Let’s go. This is a f—ing joke! Leave the crown on the chair. Let’s go!”
