“Nothing good came out of this,” Rhonda Burris said about her daughter Lacey's appearance on  The Maury Show.
 Lacey, a 15-year-old freshman, and her mother were initially excited at the prospect of appearing on the show, but they have since realized that Maury has completely misportrayed Lacey, dubbing her a drug user and prostitute.
 “Those are not true,” Rhonda said. “No, those were lies. The show was a made-up show. I am very upset with the result. It has destroyed our life. It has also possibly made my daughter suicidal because of the harassment she's got about everything.”
 Lacey appeared in a Jan. 2 episode about   “wild, disrespectful, out-of-control teen girls.”
 Rhonda said that Lacey “always had an attitude problem,” and she hoped she would “get some counseling” out of the show.
 “It was never, you know, the drugs, sleeping with men,” Rhonda said. “It was an attitude problem I always had with her.”
 Lacey said she was given 13 Red Bulls and 7 Mountain Dews before appearing on stage.
 “We told them 'no more,'” Rhonda said, “and they were still giving them to her.”
 The Maury Show did not return messages seeking comment before press time.
 Rhonda said Lacey appeared wound up, hyper, and very out of control on the show.
 “It was not Lacey,” she said. “No, it was not my daughter.”
 A lie detector test said Lacey had slept with 26 guys, but Lacey said that was not true and that the actual number was six.
 She said she somewhat regretted going on the show because of the lie detector test results, but other than that, she was fine with the episode as it aired.
 The two-day filming stint in mid-December included a chat with “ex-pimp Big Boom” about prostitution. Maury Povich said Burris had been paid for sex, but both Rhonda and Lacey said that was not true.
 Big Boom warned her that typical clients of prostitutes were going to “be big fat men trying to get some sex for 5 or 10 dollars. That's just the way this game goes, so if I was you, I'd try to live a different type of life.”
 In another scene, she saw her mother in a casket. Lacey said “that part right there really helped me a lot.”
 “(The show) changed me a lot,” Lacey said. “I wasn't going to school, I wasn't listening to my mom, I was doing what I wanted to do... and finally, I went on that show, and now, I'm going to school, I'm listening to my mom, I'm doing my chores, I'm doing what I'm supposed to do.”
 Rhonda said that Lacey does not talk to her anymore and that Lacey has become detached, not wanting to do anything with her such as going to the movie theater or to the bowling alley.
 “The only thing positive, I think, that came out of the show is when they took them out on the street and showed them how runaway girls would live like out on the street... and what could happen to them,” Rhonda said.
 Rhonda said they would have never appeared on the show if given another chance, as everything was “repeat after them. They already had everything made up from the get go one.”
 “Give her a chance in this school,” Rhonda Burris pleaded. “Everybody so looks down on her. She doesn't even want to go to school.”
 Lacey's older sister had been calling Maury for a year before producers called the Burrises.
 The Maury Show airs on FOX weekdays at 10 a.m. Repeats also air on CW. Burris' episode is not scheduled to re-air within the next week.
