Rev Run’s Daughters on MTV’s “Daddy’s Girls”
Rev Run’s daughters, Vanessa and Angela Simmons, have a new show on MTV called “Daddy’s Girls.” The show picks up where “Run’s House” left off and follows the girls in their new life in Los Angeles. The show airs Mondays at 10:30pm ET/PT on MTV.
Over the course of five seasons, fans have watched Vanessa and Angela Simmons grow up before their eyes on “Run’s House.” Now MTV is giving viewers a look at the next step of their lives with “Daddy’s Girls,” airing Mondays at 10:30PM ET/PT. The new series focuses on the Simmons Sisters as they take a major step toward independence by moving to Los Angeles, where they’ll find new friends and work on their already successful apparel line, Pastry.
With a long list of ventures ahead of them, the first project for Vanessa and Angela is to establish a new office for their popular tennis shoe and apparel business. In addition to work, Vanessa will tackle the many opportunities the film capital has to offer, while Angela takes viewers on her quest for true love. As both girls adapt to the totally new way of life that Hollywood brings, they’ll need to remember the important life lessons that their dad, Rev Run has instilled in them. “Daddy’s Girls” also introduces two new faces — Jessica, their east coast cousin and Alycia, their zany new neighbor. Jessica has relocated to LA to make sure the sisters stay focused on their business responsibilities and remain grounded while partaking in LA’s infamous nightlife. New friend Alycia is hard at work trying to become a major singer while attempting to live the fabulous life of socialite — on a budget.
Fans can get the party started online on the show’s official website at daddysgirls.mtv.com for photos, a behind-the-scenes look at the photo shoot, and exclusive interviews with the girls.

I’ve been watching Runs House since the beginning and love it. I think it an amazing show for every member of a family and stands alone as a TV show with a strong moral compass on within a sea of “immoreality programing” littered throughout MTV and the many, many other networks. For me, the jury was out for “Daddy’s Girls” until tonight. (Episode 3). . .hear me out. Angela showed herself to be highly unprofessional, when they ran into that club promoter (although he was skeezy as anything). The first thing she ever wants to do when face with a decision, is call daddy. The premise of the show is that they acknowledge the fact that they have been handed an opportunity but still need to make success happen for themselves. Yet, the show fails to display any decision made in the face of adversity. They are able to see their ideas to fruition with very few road bumps. Whereas someone with far better ideas yet no silver spoon, struggles and sacrifices everything for years and may never even have a chance because they have to consider real life too. Nothing against A&V, they didn’t pick their life. . .they did take the show though. And the editing will do them no justice as long as it pins them as “Daddy’s Girls”
