What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this adult-oriented reality series about the dating lives of rap singer Sandra "Pepa" Denton and her friends includes many scenes of various suggestive behavior (though no nudity is shown). The women openly discuss their romantic and sexual needs, and there's some salty language (words like “ass" and "bitch" are audible, while stronger curses are bleeped) and lots of drinking (wine, cocktails, champagne) -- along with some occasional drunken behavior. Failed relationships, divorce, and having a baby out of wedlock are also major themes of the show.
Positive role models:
Pepa and her friends place great priority on finding “the right man” to date, marry, and/or have a baby with. The women appear to be good friends with each other.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Lots of strong sexual innuendo, including conversations about having (and not having) sexual relations with dates/boyfriends. People are shown "making out"; one man licks/sucks a woman's toes. Cast members are shown in skimpy underwear and bathing suits and lying on tables getting bikini waxes (but no nudity is shown). Some dates take place in strip clubs; pole dances and scantily dressed women are briefly visible. One cast member looks for someone to get pregnant with.
Language:
Words like “ass” and “bitch” are audible; curses like "s--t" and “f--k” are bleeped.
Consumerism:
Pepa uses an iPhone, but the logo isn't obviously placed.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Frequent wine, cocktail, and champagne consumption with meals; continual close ups of glasses being (re)filled. Some people get drunk while on a date.
