VH1′s new reality series Audrina, starring former Hills and Dancing With the Stars mainstay Audrina Patridge, premieres April 17 at 9 p.m.

The preview of the series opens just as you think it might: “What you’re about to see is my reality,” Audrina tells viewers. Then, it heads into montages of Audrina meant to make us believe that she is truly a working girl. “I’m a model. I’m a businesswoman. And I’m a celebrity.” Cue the shots of her doing photo shoots, attending business meetings, and avoiding the paparazzi. Oh my!

“But most importantly,” Audrina then adds, “I’m a daughter and I’m a sister.” And honestly, it’s that — Audrina’s crazy family life — which seems to have the most delicious, trainwreck-y potential for this show. There’s her wild-child sister Casey, of course, who seems ready to stir up drama, but notably, it’s her mother Lynn (who, as you might remember, went on a darkly hilarious drunken rant that was taped and went viral last fall) that seems like a future punching bag of Joel McHale’s on The Soup. Based on this trailer, Mama Lynn holds nothing back in Audrina. “My mom can get a little out of control,” the show’s star freely admits.
