  • Divorce Season: Mynique Smith Files Papers Against Former NFL Player Chuck Smith…

    Aug, 1 2017 | Written by ATLien

    Former NFL player Chuck Smith and his wife Mynique Smith are in the midst of a divorce battle.

    You may remember the cute couple from their appearance on The Real Housewives of Atlanta a few seasons back.

    Mynique was being considered for a peach at the time, however Chuck made more of an impact on the show after he revealed that he’d dated both Phaedra and Kandi back in the day (a fact which he totally neglected to ever mention to his wife, Mynique).

    Word on the curb is that Mynique never fully recovered from the public humiliation her husband put her through in front of the popular reality show’s 4 million viewers and now she wants out of the marriage.

    EPIC FAIL!! Chuck Smith ATTEMPTS To Explain Controversial Statements About Phaedra Parks & Kandi Burruss…

    Jan, 16 2014 | Written by ATLien

    Chuck Smith

    Retired NFL player Chuck Smith is feeling the heat surrounding his comments about dating Phaedra Parks and Kandi Burruss on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

    [READ: Not So Blind Item: Ex-NFL-er & Wife ‘Totally Embarrassed & Upset’ About Unpaid Reality Show Stint… ]Michelle ATLien Brown Chuck Mynique Smith StraightFromTheA

    But wait… instead of just shutting up and allowing the fervor surrounding his chauvinistic statements die down, it seems Chuckie wants to ‘clear the air’ about his comments (dumb move Chuck!).

    In an effort to clarify his statements, Chuck has stuck his foot in his mouth (yet again).?[Sidebar: If someone is consulting Smith about all this, they should be fired… fast! ?But I digress.]

    As you know, on last week’s episode of RHOA Kandi & Phaedra revealed that the girls had been talking about Smith’s small package (click here if you missed that) and now it seems he’s out for revenge by further downplaying his involvement with the two successful ‘housewives.’

    Smith even goes so far as to call Parks an ‘Ugly Duckling’…. *sigh*

        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?

She said “one closing down, more to come” — so is this a boss move or a sign she’s liquidating assets after that prenup drama?
