![WTF?! Reality Show Alert: Strip Club Queens of Atlanta… [PHOTOS + VIDEOS]](http://cdn.straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/strip-club-queens-promo-1-520x523.jpg)
Comedian/Syndicated talk show host Rickey Smiley showed his true colors this morning on the social networking site Twitter. I had no idea what was going on til loyal reader Gwendella hit me up on email:
Re: Rickey Smiley
This fool is losing his mind. He cursed that girl out cause she asked him ‘really?’ after he cursed someone else out. He’s loyal to Steve something serious. You know Mary was everywhere this morning.
So I head over to check out Rickey’s page… and he’s trying to explain himself. Talbmout how Christians aren’t exempt from cursing yada… yada.. yada…
But when I saw what Rickey posted that actually started all the backlash I couldn’t believe my eyes…
Really Rickey?!? What are you? 12 years old?
To be fair… I have no idea what Rickey was responding to, since the person changed their name (or deleted their account) right after his response. But does it really matter? Rickey already showed his “A”zz online for the world to see! No turning back now…
Now he’s feeling the backlash. Several disgusted fans and followers have called Rickey “bi-polar” but instead of just apologizing and moving on, he’s justifying his actions:
And while ‘yes’ public figures are still human, when does common sense come into play?
Mr. Smiley has always professed to be a “Christian,” and while no one is perfect, how can you justify acting a fool for the masses? Yeah… Christians get angry too, but there is a time and a place for everything and all this drama before lunch on a public social networking site just ain’t it…
I guess Rickey… I guess.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again…. Twitter is about to be the death of quite a few careers! When will they learn?
Question: Do you feel it’s appropriate for “celebs” and ‘public figures” to act a fool online? Are they “only human” as Ricky suggests or should they take into account their younger fans/followers?

Uh oh. The church might make him turn in his hat he uses for Bernice for this one!
I love Rickey
Rickey has been like this, just more people have been taking notice. Rickey is always telling someone "If you don’t like what I say, unfollow.", or "F*** so and so." , and so on.
I think celebs are allowed to be human, but to call somebody out of their name, that is not right at all. To be fair, I didn’t see the other end of the conservation either. Forget Christian, if he is supposed to be an adult, he should know when to walk away/ ignore a person’s comments.
*climbs off soapbox and goes back into my hiding place.*
I thought it was uncalled for one girl just said he needed to stop using bulldagger and for that yep a curse word. Totally uncalled for. We all have loyalty to a friend but this was too much.
Hi I’m the girl (jad0requi) that he tweeted yea the girl asked him was he sleeping with Steve but I don’t understand why he couldn’t say naw I’m defending my friend instead he responded by calling her a dyyke b*tch which I felt was not necessary idk today he had his panties in a bunch and was just too disrespectful it’s not about being a celeb it’s about respecting people and knowing how to address people especially at his age
Rickey,ummm.. let Steve handle his own business and you stay out of it. If Steve is a good honest man like you keep defending, everything will go in his favor…but if what Mary is saying the truth, oh well.Like folk say, "It is what it is", right?
And, he gonna get enough of that TWITTER mess, gonna fool around and be out of a job on radio and stand up, if you keep on.
*reminiscent of the decline of Katt Williams*
as for RS….for him to be a college educated, (so called) “man” of Greekdom, from the south, acting in this manner in a public forum…I am GREATLY disappointed. You can do what you want behind closed doors – but as a public figure/celebrity…itz not wise to publicly bite the hand(s) that feed you.
It was wrong on so many levels, specifically the religion level. You can’t ever, ever, NEVER, EVER put God and/or religion in the sentence or breath as something sinful and foul. In his case, it was him acting a pure ignorant fool, while cussing someone out, taunting bipolar people and then bringing up church. Wow, even I don’t act like that Rickey and I’m half your age,lol
^^^TELL It Ms. Kirkman!!!
Everyone is over-reacting. Period. Had this been two "regular" people going back and forth, no on would care. Only because Rickey Smiley is semi-famous is this news at all. While I think its silly to engage people who are trying to attack you over social networking, I also think that he had a right to respond however he chose to. There is the option to unfollow people just for that reason.
While the things he was saying was uncalled for and wrong, he felt his character was being attacked and we are all humans who make mistakes while this might hurt his career I am sure he regret it now. He will be all right. God forgives us for our sins. He will forgive Rickey too……
This was bound to happen. The cast of this show is always using hatfeul terms like dyke, bull-dagger, faget, etc. They find humor in it just like they think that making fat jokes about Gabby Sidibe is funny. Hateful jokes @ another persons’/groups’ expense for the ignorant masses is not humor its dangerous and unconscionable. And about as funny as the Michael Richards (Kramer)rant. And when someone calls him out on it he goes off. He has done alot of good and has some notoriety; but no one is above reproach. He should have conducted himself in a more respectful manner…not because he is a celbrity but because he claims to be a man. He showed his huge flaw in his character today.
Is it on youtube cuz I would love a good laugh right now! LOL

How do you cuss out the shareholders of your career (i.e., the fans)?
Well f**k dat I love Rickey Smiley and he has the right to speak his mind sometimes people forget that celebs are people too. Just b/c he cursed does not mean he’s not a Christian atlien please get with it, it’s not that damn serious..
Question who honestly uses twitter to follow these celebs? I personally think that’s wack and twitter is wack who gives a flying f**k what celebs are doing every minute of the hour… I love entertainment like the rest of the world but this ish here is sad… Again f**k twitter
lol
I had a personal conversation with brother Smiley from an argument he and I had via twitter. Although I still feel lashing out and ranting on social networking is wrong, he had a point to where people put him up on the ‘celebrity pedestal’ and he does not do that himself. He admitted to being human and he explained he handles situations just as any normal person would when being attacked. Personally think of how many of you would have done the same thing. I’m not saying he’s right, but I do say I understand him wanting to defend himself when people intentionally go out of their way to disrespect him. Twitter is a choice of who you WANT to follow not HAVE to follow. Just ask yourself honestly and put him in normal shoes rather than judging him from a celeb aspect. I rather him rant and be human than to simply ignore the natural human emotion anger.
And this is NOT the first time this happened… It happens many times with him. I think this the first one that’s making light of the media.
Rickey is just real sensitive that’s all but lets face it some people twitter do take a special joy in trying to get at a celebrity,so Rickey just went fool on them,LOL…
@ Jadorequi….Honestly there is no excuse for what you did either because you provoked him with your statement by asking if he was sleeping with Steve.The problem with people like you is that you can dish it but when someone dishes back "you cry foul" and deny your role in that incident.Yes he was disrespectful but so were you.
When it comes to Rickey defending Steve,he’s his friend and like he said,he’s ACTUALLY been around Steve ex wife and Steve,so he knows more about what went down and he also saw Steve’s ex vibe which may explain why he’s so passionate about the issue.Personally it sounds to me that she was verbally and physically abusive….
RICKEY IS JUST LIKE THAT,I’M FROM BIRMINGHAM WHERE HE’S FROM AND TRUST ME HE ACTS LIKE A REAL QUEEN WHEN IT COMES TO HIS GUY FRIENDS ! I KNOW FIRST HAND FROM HIS DEFENSE… WHEN HE WAS WORKING ON THE RADIO STATION HERE 95.7 JAMZ HE WAS ON THE RADIO BRAGGING ABOUT THESE GUYS HERE WHO COULD BALL [PLAY BASKETBALL] WELL ONE DUDE [HIS BFF] WHOM IS MY EX AND ALSO MY DAUGHTER’S FATHER IS ONE OF THE GUY’S THAT HE WAS BRAGGING ON. WELL RICKEY SAID IF U REALLY KNOW THIS DUDE I MEAN REALLY KNOW HIM CALL ME UP. WELL I CALLED UP AND U KNOW WHAT THAT TRANNY SAID 2 ME ? I SAID I REALLY KNOW HIM AND HE SAID WHO IS THIS LISA, THAT’S ALL RIGHT WE DNT WANT HEAR ANYTHING FROM YOU AND HUNG UP IN MY FACE ! BUT THAT’S HOW HE GETS DOWN !! MR.LOYAL VERY PROTECTIVE OF HIS MALE FRIENDS ESPECIALLY WHEN STEVE IS STILL HIS POSSIBLY FOOT IN THE DOOR OF WHAT LITTLE FAME HE HAS LEFT !!! LMAO !!
@jadorequi: You just may hv touched a nerve when you went their about him sleeping with Steve Harvey! It is rumored that he laid on that famous couch that so many of our so call blk males hv done just for the that taste of fame weather it’s long term or not ! We see his was very short term..
Nothing sadder than a d-list celeb tryna get more fame (or some fame) from twitter. I guess everybody is taking notes from the RazB playbook. SMDH!
@Kamalla, You couldn’t hv said it better D-LIST!
LOL !!!
Rickey is taking all this heat for defending Steve as a husband. Sir, you can’t speak on his marriage unless you were apart of it. You can only speak upon his character as a friend and a fellow comedian. And it’s totally tacky on his part. But this is what happens when you try to join a public feud you have nothing to do with at all. Maybe he will learn his lesson and let Steve handle his own EX-WIFE. I’m pretty sure Rickey has business to tend to.
Ricky Smiley has a protected twitter account & he has always cursed on his page. This is nothing new. Twitter is not for young kids, and like he has said twitter is his only outlet. He has told parents don’t let children follow him. I personally don’t think kids should be on twitter at all. Because you never know what someone else may re-tweet.
As for college educated he’s not ! he wasn’t at school but for a sec and bk HOME ! hE DIDN’T even mk it to soph or 2nd semester of freshman ,So much for college educated. College educated means that you actually graduated..
And for the record he paid to be a OMEGA !
Correction Jadorequi did not send the are you sleeping with him tweet someone else did all she did was ask him oh really and why would he say that. Shell has that tweet posted him responding to the one who asked him that NOT Jadorequi.
So who cares it sounds like u have nothing to do over there….
So who cares it sounds like u have nothing to do over there….grow up and stop gossiping about stuff and get some bizz…
Ok, I reading a lot about Rickey suppose to be a Christian. Just because you curse or use profanity doesn’t mean you’re not a Christian. We don’t know what the other person said to make him go off like that, so stop judging, especially when you don’t have all the facts in. Next I would like to add, being a Christian means you have excepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. You have been cleans with water representing the blood of Christ and all is made new. From that point on you should try to sin less but no man is sinless. I think people seems to forget that especially when a person they know is a Christian does something they think isn’t Christian like. I personally feel we put too much inference on celebrities and their families. How would you like it if everyone judged you off your job and you had no privacy for you and your family. It’s just not cool no matter what your profession may be.
