Sex workers on A&E show fail to receive promised help

That's pretty reprehensible on A&E's part.

This makes me so sad. I started watching this show and was interested in it. I thought the pastor guy offered resources - not A&E.

I feel so sorry for the ladies on the show

And what did they think? No one would notice the network being fuckheads?

This statement applies to pretty much everything on A&E.

Wow. I can see the pastor not coming through, but the network? That's horrible. I assume the contracts they gave these women had shady language in them that the women were too uneducated to pick up on.

FUCK A&E.

Not just for not coming through with the promised resources, but for oversimplifying an extremely complicated issue and attempting to make money off of these women.

Barf. The world definitely does not need another reality show in which some privileged blowhard with no sense of empathy lectures the lower classes about how to make the correct lifestyle choices.

I agree but I felt this show was different.  Maybe I am naive but the pastor really seemed to care and the advocates he had with him who talked to the girls all had been in the life.
