Critical reception

Many homophobic slurs have caught the attention from many media. Mary Mitchell of Sun Times stated that the show was "[...] hazardous to the female psyche". Mitchell also stated that "Just like some teens try to emulate rappers in their dress and behavior, the same is true for "bad girls [club]." She also instated that the show gives a "distorted picture" of how to live the good life. She then called the cast "wannabes" who are "sleeping in a mansion they can't pay for". Mitchell believes that most people know that the cast are living "a bogus lifestyle" while also stating that the Bad Girls Clubs message is "disturbing". Many adolescents have emulated The Bad Girls Club, a negative consequence that many locals try to prohibit the viewing of the show. The show also received negative criticism from African-American viewers, believing that the show is "not what being a black woman is all about."
