Apparently, she has a "verbal agreement" with a cable network and views the project as a way of proving she's not falling into the same traps -- drug abuse, bad relationships, etc. -- that did her mother in.
Bobbi said something to that effect in a recent meeting with network execs, a source tells Radar Online.
"She was slurring her words and said: 'I will show the world I am NOT my mother and will NOT walk in her shoes down her path,' then seconds later would mutter, 'My mother was just normal, completely normal, someone who did normal things," the spy said. "'She just listened to all the wrong people -- and did the wrong things.'"
The series would also document Bobbi's love affair with Nick Gordon, the kinda-sorta adopted brother rumored to be her fiance. If, indeed, Gordon is on board, other relatives are less than enthused about the show, reports suggest.
"This show is being done against her family's advice," a source said.
