Teen singer Autumn Allen, who moved to Cambodia with her father when she was six, leaving her mother behind, was tricked into thinking she would be meeting her mom on a variety show for a Mother's Day special.

But after a tense build up, instead of being reunited wit her mother, the show producers introduced her to a cross-dressing male comedian.
