    Apparently I was mistaken when I credited this photo of Tameka Foster Glover Raymond to Twitter, cause according to an email I received yesterday forwarded from my hosting company this great piece of photographic art is the work of photographer Robert Ector:

    Subject: Tameka Foster Raymond – Copyright Infringement Notification – Straightfromthea.com

    To Whom It May Concern:

    We wanted to alert you to the fact that one of your hosted Websites is reproducing an unauthorized and copyrighted image of Tameka Foster Raymond shot and owned by Rob Ector Photography We are referring to the images at the below links where Mrs. Raymond is displayed in a grey tanktop, orange bracelet with her hand on her head as well as the sepia tone headshot and image of Usher & Tameka together on New Year’s Eve 2007 taken at the Tao Nighclub in Las Vegas. In accordance with Section 512 (c) of the U.S. Codes we are serving you with a notification of copyright infringement and are asking kindly that you remove it. We appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and hope for compliance.

    Thanks in advance,

    If you have additional questions/concerns you may contact:

    Rob Ector Photography

    678-468-7968 office

    I had no idea that people paid Rob for dark grainy webcam photos. Dayum…the things you rich folks do with your dough! All of the previous photos I’ve seen of Rob’s are usually all flossy glossy and beautiful. (Peep these) According to the email, Rob also photographed Tameka and Usher during New Year’s eve 2007.

    For the record…Rob, I sincerely apologize for not giving you the credit you deserve. Strangely enough, out of all those posts that Margeaux Yvette/Tameka spent hours cataloging, she neglected to include the one post I wrote that gave you accolades for photoshopping Tameka Foster Glover Raymond to an almost recognizable human being:

    Quick Flix ~ Robert Ector Works MAGIC on Tameka Foster Glover Raymond

    How odd is that? 😕

    Now besides that fact that Tameka Foster Glover Raymond confronted me about those very same links above during CRG’s Power Generation Conference last week…

    BESIDES the fact that I let her have her say about how her 9 year old searches her name on google….

    BESIDES the fact that my attorney threatened legal action after I received correspondence to my HOME address threatening me to take down my blog post about the death threat I received…

    BESIDES the fact that Tameka Foster Glover Raymond stated during our ‘confrontation’ last week that one of her family members “probably” sent me that threatening email that was titled YOUR DEATH THREAT…

    and most importantly BESIDES THE FACT THAT I LET ALL THAT SH*T SLIDE and decided to let sleeping DOGS lie.

    Yeah….besides ALL of that. I’m still getting dumb “A”zz letters threatening me about some BULL!

    Hi Michelle,

    Your site is harboring a myriad of copyright infringed images of Tameka Foster Raymond. You can either take each one down or I can continue to go through Godaddy’s Copyright Dept. and have them removed individually which I’m more then happy to keep doing. Based on my discussion with their legal dept. and your repeated infringements, your account could very easily be suspended. I’ve also contacted Wireimage as apparently you have not legally purchased these photographs. There is a fee involved in obtaining photographic reproduction rights that perhaps you are unaware of. You can learn more about this at the below link

    http://www.wireimage.com/PopupDoc.asp?doctyp=tandc

    There seems to be some type of fanatacism and obsession going on in regards to Mrs. Raymond but perhaps it’s wiser to simply cease consuming your site with information surrounding her relationship, kids, lifestyle, etc. From my standpoint you seem to spend a largely disproportionate amount of time invested into Mrs. Raymond which can prove intent in a court of law. I’m beginning with copyright infringements and will most likely escalate this to a litigation level if this malicious behavior doesn’t abate.

    This is something I’m dealing w/ directly (not Tameka) so if you can provide me with a contact number it would be much appreciated. I’ve been alerted that she had to block you on Twitter due to harassment. She doesn’t want any correspondence or communication with or from you. She does not personally deal with anything related to this nature of business but I’m more then happy to discuss with you. Please let me know when you’re available to speak.

    Sincerely,
    Yvette Jackson

    I could go in…but like I said during my TWITTER rant last night, she ain’t worthy. I don’t have to explain a damn thing on my site cause I run this and I ain’t letting TAMEKA, MARGEAUX TAYLOR, YVETTE C. JACKSON or anyone else tell me what I can and cannot write on MY SITE. Her sending letters to my home, those crazy “blocked” phone calls, these threatening emails…could be considered harrassment and it’s obvious someone has way more time on her hands than I. Umma let her keep working hard though. You would think that my insignificant website should be the LEAST of Tameka’s worries, especially since she made a point of telling me her divorce to Usher wasn’t final. Jeez…. shouldn’t she be concentrating on finding a plastic surgeon who’ll transform her into the light-skinned chick she always wanted to be so that maybe, just maybe she could save her marriage?

    As I said during our chat Tameka, ‘YOU TAKE THIS BLOG SHIT WAY TOO SERIOUSLY.’ Do you and stop obsessing over what I MIGHT say about you. I’m sure you have bigger fish to fry. Oh…and by the way, that ‘rumor’ about that sex tape floating around is safe with me. 😉

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸

After all that eviction tea, the doors are locked and lights out. Big shoutout to @millichun for sliding by to check out the scene! 

Is Kenya really Gone With the Rent? Or is Friday her off day? 👀

        The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSI The Kenya Moore Hair Spa drama just got even MESSIER, chile! 
The landlord has officially clapped back in court — filing their answer to Kenya’s counterclaim, and whew, they brought receipts on receipts! 

According to the filing, Kenya hasn’t paid a dime in rent or utilities since December 2024, which technically makes her a squatter! 😬 And about that $80K tenant improvement allowance she’s been fighting for? The landlord says she’s in default and violated several terms, meaning that deal is void.

This whole thing is turning into a Bravo-level courtroom saga… minus the peach! 🍑

The full 99-page amended complaint (with all the juicy details) is available now on Patreon + Members Only! http://patreon.com/atlien or hit the link in bio for the exclusive legal tea.

So what do y’all think? Can Kenya spin this, or is the Hair Spa officially a wrap?
