BET Defends Lil’ Kim Reality Show

Black Entertainment Television executives are defending ‘Lil’ Kim: The Countdown to Lockdown’, a new reality series about Lil’ Kim as she prepares to go to prison, saying the show didn’t glorify her situation. “It’s a very serious look at her life and her choices, and the consequences of those choices,” said Reginald Hudlin, the filmmaker who joined BET as its new entertainment president last summer.
