Poor Little Rich Girl Alicia Guastaferro

I'm speechless.  The episode is the Guastaferro-Boss families from the "reality" show (the quotes are for irony) called Wife Swap.   

Yes, it is all scripted ...but the Guastaferros had to feel that it was ok to read the script.

You'll have to watch the video at the  Huffington Post. I was hustled over to HufPo by BoingBoing

It was two weeks of drama
for the Guastaferro family of Williamsvillle played out on national television. They were part of the ABC hit show Wife Swap. A show where two wives from different parts of the country and whose realities are completely different, switch places. The Guastaferro's watched it Wednesday night at a local restaurant with their family and friends. "Reality, thats what happened; thats the way it is. But as far as like doing home work, we may help, but thats a little blown out of proportion." said swapped wife Karen Guastaferro. "A lot of it is like prompted, where um they say like you might wanna say this or make this a little bit more brattier...which I really am a nice person and I'm really not that bad." said daughter Alicia.

It is pretty close to their reality but at times it was tough to watch. "It wasn't the greatest.." said Karen. Joel Maglich works for the Guastaferro family window tinting business. He was glad everyone saw who he works for. "My friends are texting me and and they are like wow and I'm like ya welcome to my world." said Maglich.

Some of it was a stretch, like the how the show portrayed the Guastaferro's as doing their daughters homework. "I really do my homework. The projects my mother helps but what child does not get help on their projects." said Alicia.

But the Guastaferro's really do have a Christmas tree up year round and gets a gift every day. "That is true. I do get a present every day." said Alicia. "But she's our only child. It's like she's wonderful. She brings A lot of life you know. It keeps us young." said her father Ralph Guastaferro.

Pageantry and "sparkle" as Karen says are really a part of their lives, and they want to keep it that way. Swapping with a feminist family like they did on the show, is not something they would want to make permanent. "There life was really dull. It was really boring. You know and I brought a lot of glitz and glamour. I felt at least the middle one liked it A lot." said Karen. "Life is not like that, life is beautiful. Ya it has it's tough times, but thats it." added Ralph.

Well i can't say that I know her...I didn't even watch the complete episode (I saw her when she was on the Tyra Show).From what I saw she is a really sad person and has a very sad life.She needs help...seriously.If she really thinks that good looks are all you need to get somewhere in life and her parents are not telling her otherwise she is in for a whole lot of disappointment in life and I pity her.I think of myself as a beautiful girl and I have thought of entering pageants myself but I know that beauty is not EVERYTHING in life and I won't let that define who I am and that is EXACTLY what she is doing and her parents are encouraging it.That's ridiculous...I know parents want their children to have things they want (my parents are the same way) but NORMAL parents usually give gifts as a reward for good things done and seriously...what good has she done OTHER than winning a few pageants which are more important to her than to anyone else in society?If they really want her to get ANYWHERE in life they should really change what they are doing because from what I'm seeing from them they really don't deserve to be parents.

i think it is absolute bullshit, that she gets what ever she wants and steps on any one on the way there. as well the parents dont do jack shit about it, the just get her present each day and buy her a brand new car that she cant even drive yet.

This 15 y/o girl didn't even know how to spell America!! If you really do know her and attend school with her, then I am now wondering if it isn't the schooling combined with the poor parenting skills. Your spelling and grammar are horrible. Maybe her parents should invest more money into her education than these pageants.

I have met that girl. She is exactly as the episode portrayed her. Within 5 minutes of meeting the dumb tw** she told us "being pretty is like better than being smart because when you're smart you still have do a lot for yourself." Boy, when reality hits it won't be pretty. Mom and Dad won't be there forever dummy to keep this fairytale alive for you

Okay, I didn't even watch the whole episode because it sucked, but I got the general idea from just 5 minutes of it: she is shallow, stupid, and--yes--will grow old. Not being able to do your own work isn't the equivalence of stupid--it's the equivalent of stupider than stupid. This girl is the epitome of everything that is wrong with kids.

i go to school with her too she is in my grade and my friends and i really cant figure out why she has gone through with this beauty pageant bullshit and that pathetic "sparkle" garbage because she is flatout gross. you should see the guys she hooks up with it will make you puke its so discusting. Her and her very few friends are like that group in highschool who sits in the corner and everyone throws shit at and talks shit about but they cant and wont do anything about it. shes so fake inside and out and once her so called "beauty life" falls in the shitter and believe me it wont be long, shes too retarded to do anything else. i dont know how she lives with herself like that alicia you should kill yourself i hate you you fuckin pathetic bitch move your thunder theighs the fuck out of williamsville your not welcome here hahahahahahahahaha cunt

What a little stuck up brat. When I was in high school and college, my dad earned more than $2 million a year (through hard work long hours, emotional pitfalls, and more than a decade of post grad schooling), and do we/did we act like we are the top of society, better and more popular than others? HELL NO. My dad and I are both nerds, my mom gardens and takes care of our modest house. I played Halo pretty much every night of college. I think my Carhartt jacket is one of the most comfortable I've ever owned. My K-Mart jeans fit perfectly. How glamorous!! There's no need to put on some fake face to make yourself look successful to others. Ive seen their type plenty of times. The guy who makes a decent amount a year, buys the biggest house he can, the best cars, pampers his family, and acts like the king of whatever rust belt town he calls home.

The way they pamper her is embarrassing. I was provided a car, college, and a place to live. My dad said "after that, its nothing else until we die." And you know what? Here I am 2 years out of college with my own company. Id like to see her even begin to comprehend running a household... let alone a company or a career.

She couldn't even spell "America."

Grammar? "Rosa Parks 'standed' up for her rights."

One thing I see is that Alicia can work scissors. She may need that skill when cutting coupons, or cutting up her own, or are they her father's, credit cards...

I wish ABC would do a follow up..

Say what you want about the show being scripted, but i actually served this awful family at the restaurant i work tonight. I didn't even watch the show but The girl is absolutely disgusting inside and out. If wife swap was so scripted then why is she still acting the way she apparently did on the show? What was worse is the 2 vegetable parents sat by smiling at me while they let there bitch ass little daughter speak to me as if i was below her. smiling as if saying to me “aww isn’t she so cute?”…on the way out the father apologized to me and told me that he “took care of me”…douchebag left me $5 on a $50 check? was i being punked? one of the worst experiences. that family is screwed up.

Alicia always has been unliked and a joke to her peers because of her "I am better than you" attitude. She wears t-shirts with her own photo on them, the family vehicle has a hugh crown on the back window with "Little Miss Buffalo" on it; at pagents and at dance recitals her Mom and Grandmother erected a large folding screen with her name and stars on it so Alicia could change in a "star" fashion rather than alongside the other kids; her photos have been photoshopped and/or airbrushed since she was a kid; the parents - Ralph and Karen have made their child, Alicia, into an obnoxious unliked person. It is now March 2010 - Ralph and Karen are up for felony money laundering and other money charges; Alicia's money-tree parents now have big legal problems which will drain their money; Alicia has now filed a hugh lawsuit saying that Wife Swap humiliated her - she was humiliated by herself and by her parents long before Wife Swap - this is just a way for the Guastaferro's to try to get fast/easy money from the show to support their daughter's spoiled ways while they are in jail. They have again publically humiliated themselves with this frivilous lawsuit.

Here's how it is.
#10. Talking like that is what is disgusting, you're saying you're disgusted with her but frankly I'm disgusted with you, you have no class and no manners to talk that way about someone else.
I did a reality show three years ago and yes, they are scripted. But the reality of the situation is this; her parents had to sign a consent form. Her adult father was the one who willingly said sexist things on camera, her adult mother was the one who talked about her present-every-day christmas thing, and how she's sueing ABC for portraying her wrong? Seems to me she should be sueing her parents. I've heard two completely different things from people that supposedly go to school with her, some say its all true and some say its not true at all but the reality is, who cares?! The point is, whether its true or not, the parents are the despicable ones for allowing their daughter to be exploited like that to get 15 minutes of fame (and also despicable if they really did spoil her that rotten and do her homework for her to the point where she can't even spell America) she's obviously naive either way too, for saying/doing what she did in front of the cameras, and the excuse of "Oh she was only 15" is bull. I was 16 when I did a reality show and I was more than intelligent enough to know where the lines were and how things were obviously going to come across and what I was or wasn't willing to say. If she felt forced into saying false things, she needs to be suing her crappy parents, not ABC because they consented/allowed/encouraged it. That's not ABC's fault they're doing what all reality shows do, pushing limits, scripting as much as they can without crossing the legal boundaries, etc. I feel sorry for her if she's really that naive/uneducated, but its her parents you all need to be furious with, not her. She's misguided in suing ABC clearly, and asking for 100 Million dollars is beyond ridiculous, I might have asked for .. idk half a mill at most? There's just no A to B logic in any of it. And that's the PARENTS fault no matter how you want to slice it.

Little kid, for you to be the judge of who is or isn't dumb is a joke. Please go back to your English teacher with this comment and have them explain to you, in crayon if need be, the fundamentals of spelling and grammar. Thank you very much.

In case that wasn't clear enough; You're an idiot and so is this little waste of oxygen excuse for a human being named Alicia.

You can't blame that poor girl. Her parents are the monsters- they created her and encourage her. Yeah, she plays to them- but they are the ones that created this. She is trying to please them, as anyone would in her situation. Raised with parents, like that, that is all you know. Her dad values her looks and nothing else. He is one sick pig.

It's really a matter of who is worse: the greedy network that twists the truth for profit, or the family that's too blinded by a lust for fame that they didn't realise how they were being manipulated.

I just think it's funny how most people take the attitude "She's rich and I'm not, so fuck her. She deserves humiliation on a global scale." I mean, most 15-year-olds are brats.
Especially considering most people have absolutely no experience of the girl beyond what the greedy network has depicted.

Conclusion: People put WAAAY too much faith in their television sets.

I thought she was funny the way she said she shouldn't have to do housework and how manual labour sucks and how she doesn't want to work as a waitress. If you don't want to do something dont do it! I admire that in her. Where I think she is a little misguided is when she sais that she feels sorry for people who aren't gorgeous because I believe beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don't think she is gorgeous. She is too young for a start but she takes pride in her appearance and is quirky so I actually wish her well. Her pageants will be a thing of the past as she matures. The thing I am more worried about is the other family! Angie Boss is a lesbian married to a man with two kids! Everyone was so focused on Alicia they over looked that fact! Teaching girls to be boys is not right in my opinion. Although I have nothing wrong with lesbians. I have a problem with girls be conditioned to be lesbians from the get go. I think Angie Boss's parenting style is very worrying indeed and her daughters are likely to find themselves liking women for no other reason than their mother turned them off men!
