    In case you haven’t heard, Dexter Scott King, the youngest son of Civil Rights Icons Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King married his “longtime” girlfriend, Leah Weber, in a private ceremony in California a few weeks ago.

    [READ: NEWSFLASH! Dexter King is Off The Market… ]

    Many of you online detectives have sought to find out more information about King’s elusive new bride, who is dang near invisible online, and have turned up quite a bit of information.

    subject: Dexter King’s Wife

    Michelle! What’s the tea on Dexter King’s new wife? I found a video YouTube whre she started a LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Transexual) dating site. I also found the site’s facebook page and the twitter account but can’t find anything else about her.

    It’s called “EliteNoire” or EliteNoire.com but there is no website coming up.

    I’m sure you have more entertaining posts to write, but please follow up about this interesting information about the newest member of the King family.

    This is Atlanta history and it’s driving me crazy that I can’t find a picture or any information at all.

    (name removed by request)

    Well… this one’s for you Ms. Anonymous.

    Elite Noire Website StraightFromTheAAccording to a few of my loyal readers, Ms. Weber is the c0-founder of ‘Elite Noire,’ a now defunct online dating service that was geared towards ‘African-America men and women who prefer and enjoy same sex relationships.”

    Weber founded the site in Atlanta back in 2009 and Elite Noire, LLC. was registered with the Georgia Secretary of States Office from October 2010 up until May of 2012.

    As you know, Dexter’s father Martin Luther King, Jr. stood for equality for ALL… so this information shouldn’t be too shocking.

    While the site is gone, the EliteNoire.com Facebook page?is still available but hasn’t been active since?late 2011 and the EliteNoire twitter account?is still up but tweets stopped in 2011 as well. ?Also, photos on the facebook page suggest that the dating site sponsored several successful parties and functions around the Atlanta area.

    Below is the video where Leah Weber speaks of her new LGBT dating service during 2011 Gay Pride Weekend in Atlanta.


    VIDEO: Leah Weber Speaks About Starting LGBT Dating Site

    According?BallerAlert, the ‘Eliote Noire’ site even received a write up in Essence magazine several years ago:

    Welcome to?EliteNoire.com?Thousands just like you are sharing in our enthusiasm that finally African American professionals have an opportunity to share and enjoy the company of other successful individuals looking for love, romance and friendship.

    We realized some time ago that the world we live in is quickly changing; we are busy, our social habits are rapidly evolving and technology is quickly becoming the vehicle of choice to both communicate and network with peers. Unfortunately, as we began to evolve with this new world and the new ways of meeting people, we could not find a place that spoke exclusively to us.

    Most dating and social networking sites can be overwhelming, filled with timely questionnaires and advertisements throughout, leaving you feeling confused and unmotivated. After some time and significant effort you finally reach the point of exploring the profiles of its members only to find you have little in common with the community.

    Elite Noire? members are successful, ambitious, busy African American professionals. EliteNoire? is an exclusive community and has been designed with our client in mind. Our application process is quick and our website is easy to use void of the chaos found at similar destinations. Most importantly though, we are committed to reflecting the image and integrity of our members and have employed the measures to do so.

    All applications for membership are reviewed and verified. At Elite Noire?, we take our commitment to providing a professional and safe atmosphere for our clients very seriously. We personally review and verify the information submitted by all perspective members. Unlike other dating sites available today, we are much more interested in quality than quantity. We are proud of that commitment and it shows throughout our membership. Elite Noire? members are comfortable knowing that they are among peers and are a part of an exclusive community that reflects them both professionally and personally.

    We are excited about the possibility of you joining us at EliteNoire?. We are confident that you will enjoy all that the Elite Noire? experience has to offer. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity and apply today. Dating will never be the same.

    Again, thank you for your interest and spread the word. What we?ve been waiting for has finally arrived.

    See you inside,

    Monique and Leah

    Founders of Elite Noire?, LLC

    All I know is… the letter says “US” so if that means Ms. Weber was once a lezzbun, so what? People change their minds sometimes.

    It does seems odd though, that a person so well versed in websites and social networking is pretty much invisible online. ?Then again… ?maybe it’s not that odd after all.

    According to the press statement released by the King Center, the couple ‘plans to reside in Malibu, California where King has lived for several years’, so perhaps Weber’s online ‘disappearance’ was well calculated and planned out.

    Smart move… dontcha think? ?Privacy is King these days….

    Congrats again to the newlyweds!

        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?
