Daelyanna Benson On Raising a F***ing Star
E!’s Raising a F***ing Star is just what it sounds like. It followed four parents who believe their child has what it takes to be the next household name. Pretty interesting right? But though the show sounds innovative, it was based on Bravo’s short-lived 2004 series Showbiz Moms & Dads.
Now coming to Daelyanna, she’s a multi-talented performer who trained every day in acting, singing, and dancing. But it was only after landing her first movie role, she realized that she loves being the center of attention, and doing comedy and drama.
No wonder, Daelyanna’s parents believed that she was born to be a star.
On the day of Raising a F***ing Star’s premiere (September 8, 2022), Daelyanna took it to her IG to share, “Tonight is the night, y’all. I’m both nervous and excited. #raisingafingstar @beatbycool @kelly.dedman”
Also, equally excited were her co-stars — Kia Brooks and her kids Tray and Flau’Jae Johnson, Sam Shen and kids Chacha and Kennie Shen, and Jessica and her daughter Breanna Bunevacz.
