    It?s Official! #AtlantaExes Reality Show Airs Summer 2014! (Press Release + Meet The Cast)

    Jan, 29 2014 | Written by ATLien

    Tameka Raymond Atlanta Exes StraightFromTheA 6
    I post last Summer that an Atlanta version of ‘Hollywood Exes’ was in the works and exclusively revealed that it would be anchored by none other than Tameka Raymond (Usher’s ex-wife) and guess what… I was right.Monyetta Shaw Tameka Raymond Christina Johnson Sheree Buchanan

    [FLASHBACK: EXCLUSIVE! Hollywood Exes Plans Atlanta Spin-Off (Meet The Cast)]

    My cast prediction was accurate (at the time) but there have since been some changes.

    In addition to Tameka, there’s Monyetta Shaw (Ne-Yo’s ex), Christina Johnson (Ceelo Green’s ex), Sheree Buchanan (Ex Atl Falcon Ray Buchannan’s Ex) and instead of Idris Elba’s ex (who I heard was too boring for tv), there’s now Torrei Hart (Kevin Hart’s ex).

    You guys will have yet another Atlanta-based reality show to add to your watch list soon as VH1 just officially announced that there is in fact an “Atlanta Exes” spin-off in the works which will air sometime this Summer 2014.

    Read the full press release + check out a few photos of the “Atlanta Exes” cast below… Continue Reading…

    Tameka Raymond recently held an intimate gathering of family, friends and supporters at her Atlanta home in honor of her birthday (January 1, 2014).

    The divorced mother of 5 had a lot to celebrate for her new year/birthday. She made it through a very stressful 2013 and came out relatively unscathed.Tameka Raymond Birthday StraightFromTheA 010114 -9

    In 2013, Tameka fought a good fight during her lengthy custody battle with her ex-husband, Usher Raymond, she also had to go through the emotional turmoil of almost losing another child to a water accident while he was in his father’s care.

    Last year, Raymond mourned the loss of her son, Kile by developing The Kile’s World Foundation in his honor.? She also fought for tougher boating laws, and stood side by side with Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal last April as he signed the bill to pass The Kile Glover Boat Education Law.

    Tameka also ‘reportedly’ joined the cast of Atlanta’s version of Hollywood exes and a few of her ‘rumored’ co-stars were also there to celebrate her big day.

    Ne-Yo (aka Schaffer Smith) and his Compound Foundation partnered with the Atlanta area Boys and Girls club to give back to the community.

    The Grammy award winning singer/songwriter enlisted a few of his celebrity friends who all showed support for the worthy cause. Ne-Yo shared his good fortune with about 500 underprivileged children, who were treated to an early Christmas yesterday evening (December 5, 2013).

    Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Keyshia Knight-Pulliam, Deon Grant, Kandi Burruss, Toya Wright, Reginae Carter, Nicole Lyons, Bobby V and more all came out to show support.

    And in honor of Ne-Yo’s good deeds, Toys for Tots even presented the talented artist with an award From the Unted States Marines!

        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?
