Premise

Life with La Toya opens a view into the daily life of La Toya Jackson. The series chronicles Jackson as she settles into her newest home, expands her business portfolio and dives back into the dating scene in order to create her own family. It also features La Toya telling the stories of her past such as her ex-husband and the death of her brother. Contrary to reports, Michael Jackson's children only appear in one episode and are not featured within the series.[3][4][5][6][7]
