The mother of Maddy Jackson, who appeared on ‘Toddlers & Tiaras’ dressed as Dolly Parton, is being accused of sexually exploiting her daughter! Read on for the shocking details.
Maddy Jackson, 5, has been appearing in beauty pageants since she was 13 months old, but she outraged viewers last year when she appeared on Toddlers & Tiaras sporting controversial fake breasts and a Dolly Parton costume!
On TLC’s hit reality show, Maddy’s mom Lindsay Jackson was shown putting fake breasts in the dress, and now Maddy’s estranged father Bill Verst wants custody.
But Lindsay is fighting back hard to keep her daughter.
“Maddy has been doing pageants since she was a baby and this is the first time Bill has ever said I’m a bad mother,” she told Radar Online, according to the Daily Mail.
“‘He never made an argument about it until the show aired and now he’s trying to say that she’s sexualized and that I’m trying to exploit her and I’m not!”
However, Maddy’s dad doesn’t exactly have a clean record. According to Lindsay, Bill is a convicted felon on probation for a DUI and endangerment, which she says the judge and the court-appointed psychologist are ignoring.
The pageant mom also fears she is fighting a losing battle, thanks to her estranged husband’s wealthy family.
What do YOU think of Maddy’s participation in beauty pageants HollyMoms? Should her dad get custody?

I think most of these mom’s should lose their children. I think the show should be charged with aiding in this these crimes. But, mostly I think the Children Services should have every employees caseload reviewed. Obviously they acted in this case because of public opinion and not in the best interest of the child. This trash has been going on forever and needs to stop. Makeup, fake eyelashes, tans, wigs, hairspray, and even fake teeth all packaged in expensive clothes. If you want to judge a child’s talent or beauty then do in as the child is naturally. They have them dress like living adult dolls and pretend it’s for the children.
