Toddlers & Tiaras Mom Susanna Barrett: 5-Year-Old Isabella "Doesn't Know What Sexiness Is"
No mom wants her 5-year-old daughter being called a "prosti-tot" on her watch.
But that, according to Susanna Barrett and her attorney, is the rep that her little one has received since TMZ (and, subsequently, many other websites) posted a video of Toddlers & Tiaras star Isabella Barrett singing along to LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" and Rihanna's "We Found Love."
Barrett's problem isn't that TMZ posted the video. No, she gave them the footage, she told E! News in an exclusive interview, a few days after filing a $30 million libel suit against TMZ, the Huffington Post and London's Daily Mail.
It's that she was under the impression that TMZ was going to write a "fluff story," but ended up—in Barrett's eyes—making a "brazen attempt to sexualize" her child.
