Keyshia Cole and BET have inked a deal for the second season of "The Way It Is," the intimate reality show focusing on the singer, her family and her career. Cole and her manager, Manny Halley, will serve as executive producers, Halley confirmed to VIBE today. The series is scheduled to air on BET this fall.
In the first installment of "The Way It Is," fans saw Cole as she navigated her way through the music industry and recorded the vocals for future hit "Last Night," with Diddy - and we got an intimate look at Cole's personal life, including a teary reunion with her mother, Frankie, at a prison in California. Now, her mother is home, and will be reunited with Cole. The show will also feature more of Cole's sister, Neffe, and preview her second album, Just Like You, out this fall.
When the series first debuted July 12, 2006, Reginald Hudlin, President of BET, said, "This is not a modern-day Cinderella tale; this is the story of a talented young survivor that is teaching our youth how to cope with a struggling childhood and still come out on top."

I am a 43 year old recovering addict/single mother. I live in Atlanta. I can't tell you how much your show has been a blessing to me and my children. I love the fact that you have made your life an open book for the world to read and learn! My children are inspired by the fact that inspite of your mother being on drugs it didn't stop you from persuing your dreams. God Bless you, and give your mom a great big hug for me!!!

Hey Keshia I seen you lady before u even released ur cd. Your song at the Stone Stone Pinic in B-more. I wanted an autagraph then but it was to much so hopefully I ll get to c u perform oneday. I did check out the reality show and I just want to state that u have an oppurtunity of 1in a million, weather it is a places u never seen ur self in or could imagine. God sends blessings on a daily basis and that may have been 1 that was sent at the blink of an eye. Hon weather ur a star or not we all go through trials and tribulations to be or become succesful so dont stop until u cant go no more. I know its a hard job but it will PAY OFF at the end of ur journey. Ur success and fame could be a life time journey for u and ur family mentally physically and financial. U still have lessons to be learned as well as ur Mother and family, but life goes on and time waits for no1, so in due time allow ur self to mature spiritually and everything will balance out. God gave u & ur family the life that they may have never had but its for a reason & u may be there blessing in discuise.KEEP IT REAL MAMA! hope u view this message and if u can reply that would be more amazing than ever....LOL

The show is very touching. I had never watched the show. Today, I watched two back to back episodes with a lump in my throat and holding back tears. Keyshia should very proud of herself and how much she has overcome.

It's the tale of an innercity Hoodrat with a Bad Attitude and an average vocal range. Issues are, she doesn't appreciate her fame, she still has a bad attitude. and she refuses to leave the "angry black woman attitude" behind. She will NEVER have the class, Mary J. Has. She's a fake copycat
