  • EXCLUSIVE: #RHOA Apollo Nida’s Jailhouse Pen-Pal Speaks Out! (Who is She? + Why Did She Write Him?)

    Sep, 16 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Jessica Germaine

    Jessica Germaine, the woman who Apollo Nida requested money from in a letter from prison, is speaking out and wants her ‘5 minutes’!

    It was only about a week ago that Apollo Nida, the jailed spouse of The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s Phaedra Parks, was in the news again after his female ‘pen-pal’ attempted to put him on blast.

    If you missed that, a woman sent Nida a book to read and he responded, asking her to send him money.? She then responded to him that she’d rather put money into her daughter’s savings and he responded that he would pray for her a ‘financial windfall’… I’m paraphrasing but you get the drift.

    [READ: The Thirst! Apollo Nida Collecting Pen-Pals & Payments in Prison… (PHOTOS)]

    Whatever the case, Jessica Germaine, recently contacted me and wants to set the record straight about the situation.

    Apparently y’all made Jessica feel ‘some kinda way’ in your online comments about her decision to write Apollo in the first and she feels the need to respond to all the backlash.? Germaine states in her long response that she is not ‘thirsty’ or out to gain attention. She even claims that she never watched a single episode RHOA and was not a fan of Apollo Nida’s.phaedra parks

    Germaine claims her intentions were pure but since she’s got your attention, she’s got some things to say. (It’s a very long read, but that’s what the internet is for… right?)

    #RHOA Season 8 Casting: Who Is Shamea Morton? Friend or New ‘Housewife’? [PHOTOS]

    Sep, 14 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Porsha Williams Shamea Morton 2

    How many Atlanta ‘housewives’ are too many?? That question remains to be answered as the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta tape the 8th season of the popular reality show.

    Shamea Morton Kandi and Todd TuckerWith the departure of their anchor, Nene Leakes, it seems producers of the show have been actively recruiting and even brought back veteran ‘housewife’ Sheree Whitfield.

    As you know actress Kim Fields is also on the roster (not sure if she’s on the trip tho) and while Marlo Hampton was spotted filming once or twice, she apparently wasn’t invited on the annual girl’s trip (which is a tell-tell sign that she’s probably not a solid cast member).

    Porsha Wiliams seems to have gained a bit of leverage this season and may have secured her peach. She’s also brought along a new ‘friend,’ Shamea Morton, a former cheerleader for both the Atlanta Falcons & Atlanta Hawks, who made a startling appearance during Williams’s live video from their ‘girl’s trip’ yesterday.

    CASE DISMISSED!! Celebrity Hairstylist Derek J. Wins ‘Stolen Weave’ Lawsuit…. [EXCLUSIVE DETAILS]

    Aug, 28 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Derek J Benita Williams Case Dismissed

    NEWSFLASH! The ‘stolen weave’?case against celebrity hairstylist/reality star Derek J. has officially been DISMISSED!

    [READ:?Derek J Faces Stolen Weave Lawsuit! Meet His Accuser? (PHOTOS)]

    Derek J Benita Williams Court Case (READ MORE)It was just a little over a month ago that Derek J. and his attorney in the case, Phaedra Parks of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, were in court facing the accusations of Benita Williams, a woman claiming that he’d ‘stole’ her weave right out of her head (click HERE if you missed that).

    During their 1st court appearance (July 23), Derek refused to settle with the Plaintiff, who was seeking THOUSANDS of dollars in ‘damages’ and the case was subsequently rescheduled after Williams ‘fainted’ due to the stress (insert side-eye).

    The parties appeared in court again yesterday (Aug 27) and Williams was no less dramatic than the first time. ?However, this time around the outcome was favorable to Derek J.

    #RHOA Season 8 Cast Tea: Transgender Model Amiyah Scott is NOT an Atlanta ‘Housewife’ + Kim Fields Returns… [PHOTOS]

    Aug, 18 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Amayah Scott 1

    A rumor has spread like wildfire that transgender model Amiyah Scott will be a brand new addition to The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

    As you know, it’s the 8th season for the popular reality show and they are taking on a few new faces in light of losing their star player, Nene Leakes.

    With Bruce Jenner’s transition to Caitlyn combined with ex- ‘housewife’ Sheree Whitfield‘s return to the show (she’s been mistaken for a drag queen on more than one occasion — CLICK HERE if you missed that), many assume that now is the perfect time to add a real live LGBT ‘housewife’.

    While it’s true that producers have been scrambling to find exciting story lines, sadly, Amiyah won’t be holding a peach.

    You want the REAL tea about Amiyah Scott joining RHOA?? Well here it is….

        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?
