Former guests Summer and Rich face each other for a super-emotional reunion you won't believe.

summer_rich.jpgThey're the father and daughter who people couldn't stop talking about: Summer and Rich. When they first appeared on The Tyra Show, we were all shocked to learn that Rich had pushed Summer, his own daughter, into prostitution -- and even waxed her bikini line! We all know that Summer has agreed to leave the sex industry, but what about her relationship with Rich? When Rich and Summer face each other one last time, you will not believe what happens next!

You tell us: Do you think they will be able to patch things up?


NEXT: A "Biggest Loser" Breakfast!

I, for one, love the Tyra Show. I love how it addresses topics most other talk shows won't. I love the social experiments because it shows us how the world truly is. I have to say that I do disagree with Tyra on the episode with Summer and her father. I used to work as an entertainer at a club and that started when I was about 18. Before dancing at the club I asked my mom if she would disown me. She supported my decision as long as I kept it business. I didn't go in and sleep with anyone, I didn't get lost in the drugs. Summer was 18 and told her dad she was going to do it with or without him. He TRIED to discourage her. We all know teens and she would have done it anyway. At least he tried to support her and see that everything was done the right way and that she was taken care of. In the first show with Summer and her dad she was all giggles and thought it was cute. AFTER everyone told her it was horrible and she shouldn't do it she changed her mind.

I'm proud of this girl. All I know is that if my father, which he would never do this, pushed me into prostitution I wouldn't know what to do. To me Summer is a much stronger girl then i am when it comes to sticking up to my dad.

When will this show be on the air again? I'm very proud of this girl. I just wanted to say I look up this girl. It's always hard to stand up to a family member and let them know how you feel. But I'm glad she did and as for her dad how could you have even done that to your child!! Every dad wants to have that little daddys girl and you had your but then you choose to do this to her. I think you are a very sick man and you need help.

I happened to catch a re-run recently. I hope these girls are not left out to dry after they've opened their hearts on television. Tyra, please dont have shows like this, where emotionally weak women are made more vulnerable by talking about SERIOUS life issues, if you are not going to do anything but give them a book and tell them tips and strategies to get on with their lives. Women like this need immediate and effective intervention that may take years. I think many viewers like myself wanted to at least see a therapist, a counselor-an expert in the field, there to help them. Honey, dont rely on yourself to give advice when there are people who have worked in certain areas for a very long time and who actually would like to help people like this. -Prayers for all the guest who were on this show and those who are struggling with the same problem. Does Tyra actually reads this?

AS A YOUNG WOMAN THAT HELPS A NON PROFIT ORG. TO HELP STOP HUMAN TRAFFING THROUGH OUT THE UNITED STATES , I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT THE I AM A LITTLE UPSET BY A COUPLE OF THE COMMENTS ON HERE. i WOULD JUST LIKE TO STATE THAT TYRA BANKS YOU ARE A WONDERFUL ROLE MODEL. I LOOK UP TO YOU. ONLY IF I COULD BE AS SUCCESSFUL IN MAKING A IMPACT ON THE WORLD AS YOU HAVE BEEN I WILL BE CONTENT WITH MYSELF. SO ALL THE HATERS OUT THERE GET A LIFE. AND FOR *MRS. KRISTEN* MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU I DEAL WITH YOUNG GIRLS LIKE YOU EVERY DAY, AND UNTIL YOU SEE IT FIRST HAND YOU DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND. I AM PROUD OF YOU FOR HAVING THE STRENGTH TO STAND UP AND SAY THAT IT IS WRONG! SO MANY GIRLS DON'T HAVE HAVE THAT STRENGTH.

I am shocked! 2 say the least... what a effin loser! Dad, NO. He exploited his own daughter and he used women who were desperate and insecure. He's a predator. How is he NOT in jail??? WTF? I love Tyra 'she calls em like she seems em and she called this poor excuse as a man/father (how does he get blessed with that?) I'm proud of his daughter WHAT A STRONG WOMAN to overcome that. I know the damage my Dad has done to me, and he's only .000001 evil as this guy! She deserves a medal! That is way worse than war and death. That's living hell. So beautiful and smart. That guy deserves to rot in jail---At the very least!!!

I was watching the way the father was reacting-and he seemed "emotion-less"...I am sure there is a medical term for that.Like the way he was looking at his daughter and everyone there was like he 1.)didn't care-he treated it like it was a business plan...I was kinda wondering is he getting treated for help.I am proud his daughter was strong enough to face him but is he getting some kinda of treatment?A person who has no feelings or shows anytype of remorse...even to the point of selling his daughters body is twisted and I am sure has no sexual boundaries...like a child molester.Kinda makes me wonder if more is being done that what was talked about.

Hey Tyra, I want to thank you sooo much for airing this episode. I'm currently a student at the University of Texas and I was planning on getting a job as a cocktail waitress at a strip club because I knew I could make alot of "easy" money. My mom begged me not to work there but I was planning on applying anyways. All of my friends encouraged me to do it as well. The day before I applied this episode aired and hearing that strippers horror stories made me realize that the strip club is no place for me. My mom is so happy and thankful to you (as well as me) for opening my eyes. Sometimes it takes someone other than our parents to tell us that we have a STUPID idea. Thank you again!!!!

I am a father of a 7 year old daughter and I dont understand how ''Rich'' could do that.I would be in jail in I EVER seen that dude.Thats some BS what he did.Im just happy that she found a good man.Ryan seem's to be a great man.And Tyra thank you for showing young girls that some one does care and Have their back's.I wish I could kick every scum that hits girls or treats them like that.Its not right how some '' Men'' think they can treat girls like that.Im getting mad just thinking of it.Anyways thanks tyra keep your show on its amazing.
