Joseline Hernandez of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta is currently involved in a lawsuit over her outrageous antics during last season’s reunion show.

Now, more clips from Joseline’s 8 hour deposition have been revealed, showing the reality tv sensation digging a deeper hole, as Hernandez speaks about how she came to the reunion ‘ready to fight,’ which is actually ‘reality slang’ for defending herself NOT meaning to actually fight, as in… like swing on people.
[Sidebar: I mean…seriously. Who doesn’t know that reality shows are all ‘smoke & mirrors’? I just think it’s entertaining to see someone who’s ON one, spill all the tea.]

As we draw closer to the end of the first season of EMPIRE, the show’s star Terrence Howard is speaking up about utlizing the n-word on the show.
During a recent appearance on Access Hollywood Live, Howard explained how his character ‘Lucious Lyons’ is a Black version of Archie Bunker (i.e. racist, bigoted, homophobic) and he weighs in on why he feels using the n-word on EMPIRE could be a means a defusing racism.
For the record, Howard’s view differs from costar Taraji P. Henson, who has said publicly that she?s against the of the word, but he feels it?s time to get real.

Interesting… what DOES the n-word mean exactly? Howard explains his take on it in the video below… Continue Reading…
