Media interest in ITV doc: 'Teen Body Obsession: Too Much Too Young'
I knew this would be picked up by the media, it's the story of 11-year old Sasha who wants to be Jordan. The ITV doc about Sasha was aired on ITV on Tuesday 24th and I reviewed it the following day. What I think most people find bizarre & saddening, is that it is Sasha's own mother who is cultivating her to be the next Jordan. It is fair to say they do find the most extreme case studies in society to make these shows; however I hope not indicative of a wider trend. Also, I am not sure if the TV & magazine interest, aren't just fanning the mother's ambitions for Sasha.
