Paula Abdul: Life in Photos

But Paula had plenty of time to show her side of the story when her reality show, "Hey Paula," premiered on Bravo in June 2007. The series was Paula's opportunity to showcase her private life as she worked on her new fragrance line and the "Bratz" movie, which she got fired from during the process of shooting the show. Unfortunately, the series was a total disaster, and it portrayed Paula as an unstable, demanding diva. Paula was shown throwing tantrums, mistreating her staff and having emotional breakdowns. "That was hard for me to watch. Disturbing," Paula later told USA Today. "They'd put a camera on me when I got wind that my dog was in a coma, and they'd make it [seem] like it was about hair and makeup."
