PARENT MANAGERS: GOOD, BAD OR UGLY?

Beyonce’, Tyra Banks, and even Halle Berry have all had very successful careers in the entertainment industry and they have all had parents as their business managers. So, is that the answer? or maybe we should look at careers gone wrong with talent like Gary Coleman or Whitney Houston who found themselves at odds with their parents after years of managing their careers.
 Sometimes parents with all the right intentions should just get out of the way and let the industry professionals guide their beloved child down the right path.
I have witness models with all the potential in the world get pushed to the side or completely overlooked because they had parents that agents just did not want to deal with. 


Are you an aspiring talent with an over Zealous parent, or maybe a parent that feels that nobody can take care of your baby like you?  How do you feel?  Leave us a note and Tune in to Modelbiz Radio Thursday at 3pm as we discuss the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of parent managers
