Antoine Dodson Gets Reality Show
By ANNA BRESLAW
We can't say we're not a little happy for Antoine Dodson, a former resident of Alabama's Lincoln Park income housing whose news interview propelled him to insta-fame after he spoke angrily about the intruder who tried to rape his sister Kelly.
After The Gregory Brothers (three VA brothers and one of their wives, currently based in Brooklyn) auto-tuned Dodson for an installment of Auto-Tune The News, "Bed Intruder" went viral. Suddenly Dodson, a 24-year-old hairstylist and the eldest of six children, was on Billboard's Top 100 singles list. Some people were worried what would happen to Dodson when the wind of the pop culture zeitgeist began blowing a different way.
Not time to worry yet, because Entertainment One is filming a reality pilot starring Dodson and his family. Once Dodson's money started rolling in from the 75 million people who watched "Bed Intruder," Dodson took his family and moved them from Alabama to Los Angeles, California for a "fresh start."
The show hasn't landed a network deal yet.
well this is afterall, the land of opportunity right ?
