I agree that they didn’t ask to be in the limelight initially. But shopping yourself to network TV (Dancing with the Stars and now this reality show) opens the door to criticism. If you complain about the media and all the hatred aimed at you personally due to the media, why in Gods name would you contact the media to put you on a reality show about yourself???? This is like knowing that fire will kill you and then walking into a burning building to see what happens....
DWTS approached her, gave her a public platform for her conservative activism and bought her and her son a house, why would anyone turn DWTS down?
Bristol has only complained about the way the media covers her family, all conservatives have the same complaint.
Bristol has never pleaded to be left alone, she is making her living in media and is a new York Times, best selling author.
As long as her work can preach her conservative message, and reach the young women that she is trying to help, then she is succeeding.
