The relationship between Keyshia Cole and her mother, the late Frankie Lons, is just one aspect of the singer’s life set to be explored in her upcoming biopic Keyshia Cole: This is My Story. The clip above reveals the emotional moment where the R&B singer confronts her mother for giving her up for adoption.
Played by Debbi Morgan, Lons explains to Cole, who plays herself, the struggles that limited her parenting abilities.
“This is a story of a daughter’s love for her mother, and although my heart remains broken from her untimely passing, I am honored to be sharing it with the world,” explained the 41-year-old in a press statement.
“Playing the role of myself was a unique opportunity to re-live special moments in my life that also gave me the chance to process her loss in ways I did not expect,” she continued. “I miss her every day, and even though she is not here, her presence was felt throughout this film. Mom, I love you.”
Keyshia Cole: This is My Story is set to air on Lifetime on June 24. It joins the network’s roster of musical biopics, including Robin Roberts Presents: Mahalia, Patsy & Loretta, The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel, Toni Braxton: Unbreak My Heart, Whitney, and Life is Not a Fairytale: The Fantasia Barrino Story.
As well as making her acting debut, the “I Should’ve Cheated” performer is also the executive producer of the film. Keyshia Cole: This is My Story is directed by D’Angela Proctor and Manu Boyer. It also features “Forever Is A Thing,” a new song from the Grammy Award-nominated singer. Watch the official trailer below.
