Frankie & Neffe

Frankie & Neffe is an American reality show that follows R&B singer Keyshia Cole's mother and sister, Frankie Lons and Neffeteria Pugh. Each half hour episode follows Frankie & Neffe as they struggle to start their lives over and separate themselves from Keyshia Cole's celebrity. In the first few episodes Frankie gets a job as a radio personality, while Neffe has second thoughts about her upcoming wedding. Later, Frankie's grandson is getting baptized, and Frankie isn't very supportive, causing drama throughout the family. Throughout the series both Frankie and Neffe meet with a life coach in hopes of re-establishing themselves as financially independent from Keyshia. The series also documents some of the more difficult parts of the protagonists' lives, including drug addiction, abuse, domestic violence, and incarceration. Produced by Keyshia Cole, the series premiered on BET in the summer of 2009. Due to low ratings and poor critical reception the series was canceled after the ten-episode first season. MORE
