  • Lisa Wu-Hartwell Sues Keith Sweat + More Housewife Flix From South Dekalb

    Feb, 24 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Lisa Wu Hartwell is taking her ex-hubby, Keith Sweat back to court. The Atlanta Housewive (pictured above during a recent question/answer session at South Dekalb Mall) is seeking to gain full custody and child support for the two sons she shares with Sweat. Jordan Sweat (14) and Justin Sweat Jordan Sweat (11).

    According court papers filed with the Superior Court of Fulton County, Sweat In 2003, Sweat received primary custody of the children in their final divorce decree. Sweat and Wu Hartwell married in 1992 and had what court papers called an ?extremely tumultuous relationship.? Fulton Superior Court judge Cynthia D. Wright, wrote in the decree that ?there is evidence that Father has been violent towards Mother, but no evidence he has ever been violent with any of his children.?

    The judge granted Sweat full custody because she felt the children at the time ?lacked structure in their lives, due in substantial part to Mother?s numerous business ventures and frequent trips out of town ? Mother has a history of spending money on herself excessively rather than providing for the children ? There was some evidence at trial that Mother implicitly participated in robbing Father in the presence of the children. She also took money from Father prior to the initiation of this matter. This behavior causes the Court to question Mother?s maturity and judgment.?

    Lisa has since remarried and now wants her boys back. Wu Hartwell said nothing about the custody case on Saturday during her South Dekalb Mall appearance but she did note that her ex-husband didn?t clear her sons to be on the show. (Source)

    Stay tuned…more drama to follow!

    Chris Brown: From Elmo to “A”zzz Whoopins… by Tariq Nasheed

    Feb, 24 2009 | Written by ATLien

    I’m sure everyone knows by now who’s all on my ‘secret crush’ list…cause it’s no dayum secret! There’s Big Boi, Jeezy, Shaq and Tariq Nasheed… love them all and they can do no wrong!? Well I take that back…I do love them all but we know how knee-grows can be. 😆 This week Tariq’s taken the opportunity to clown Chris Brown during his latest Mack Lesson’s podcast. If you’re familiar with Tariq, you already know he went hard on him. Check out the clip of his last show where he talks about C-Breezy’s venture from Elmo to “A”zz whoopins under the cut (Warning: Strong Language…I think it’s hilarious but don’t bother clicking if you’re easily offended):

    Bow Wow Speaks on Chris Brown + New Video “You Can Get It All” Ft. Johnta Austin

    Feb, 24 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Bow Wow got his paws wet yesterday at Planet Hollywood NY as he promoted the upcoming release of New Jack City II. As the miniature rapper left a caste of his hands to be held on display at the restaurant, he took a moment to discuss his good friend Chris Brown’s situation with OK magazine:

    “I’ve been in a high profile relationship before and I know how it feels when everybody’s in your business. It just puts more pressure. And the only way they’re going to get over the situation is just to let them deal with it. And that’s what I really want to do. I’m praying for them both.”

    Bow Wow, who says he hasn’t spoken to either Chris or Rihanna, says he couldn’t believe the horrifying picture that leaked on the internet last week, showing the singer with cuts and bloodied bruises on her face.

    “Just shocking…I mean we heard what happened but we really didn’t get a visual for it. But I mean hey, man. The picture speaks for itself.”

    Anywhoo…Bow Wow’s new video, “You Can Get It All” featuring Johnta Austin below:

        For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — t For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — the love, the prenup, the babies, the fights, the businesses… all of it on reality TV.
But NOW that the divorce is in court, suddenly it’s “seal the documents & protect my privacy”? 🤔

Meanwhile Todd ain’t trying to seal a thing.
So what changed? And what doesn’t she want the public to see?
Let’s talk about it… 👀🍿

        They try to silence strong Black women for telling They try to silence strong Black women for telling the truth — but somehow misogyny gets rewarded with views, clicks, and applause.

What’s even more disturbing? So many women are cheering it on.
At some point, we have to ask: Why is disrespect toward Black women still profitable?

This isn’t entertainment.
This is accountability.

        This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, problematic rant — and it needed to be called out. Junkie Dineva went after Tamar Braxton’s parents, upbringing, and mental health for no legitimate reason, and that kind of misogyny should never be excused as entertainment.

Going viral for disrespecting Black women is the real issue — and that’s what we’re unpacking on ATLien Live.

        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. 👽🛸

        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?
