Ricki Lake Addresses Racial Tension On Charm School

On last night’s episode of Charm School, after an explosive evening in which two girls quit, host Ricki Lake sat down with the remaining contestants to address the “elephant in the room.”

Last week, Ricki eliminated Kiki, a former cast member from Real Chance of Love. (Kiki’s interview on VH1 Blog sheds some light on how she feels about this, saying that she’s “pissed off.”) Some of the contestants felt that, by doing this, Ricki was playing favorites toward the white women. In addition, the Real Chance girls were upset that Ashley (from Rock of Love Bus) called them “ghetto.” In this clip, the entire group attempts to address these issues head-on.
