Fans got an up-close-and-personal look at Keyshia Cole when her "The Way it Is" series premiered on BET. Cole often sang about her pain and had told a bit about her story. But, it was not until it was in America's face did people realize all Keyshia Cole had gone through.

Immediately, the world was introduced to Cole's mother, Frankie, a former drug addict. Frankie was determined to break her addiction in order to build a relationship with her daughter. On the show, Keyshia Cole often argued with Frankie, only because she cared about her.

For the most part, it seemed as if Keyshia Cole's family was the one thing holding her back. She purchased them lavish homes in the expensive Atlanta. Despite her best efforts to set them up, in the end, they always came back to her for more money. Now that she has a family of her own, Keyshia Cole was forced to turn her family loose.

Recently, Frankie Lons was arrested because she had possession of drugs. This comes after Lons was featured in the fourth season of "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew." As of this morning, she is still in police custody, but will only be brought up on misdemeanor drug possession and a probation violation. She was stopped for a traffic violation when authorities discovered she had "drug-related" material.
