  • Did Chris Brown Threaten Usher?

    Mar, 10 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Via RhymesWithSnitch

    They say…the reason Usher issued that apology after he made remarks about Chris Brown not showing enough remorse for beating Rihanna’s ass is because he received a phone call from young Chris telling him, “I’m going to see you bitches” implying that Ursh, Jermaine and Johnta were all going to get CB’d the next time Chris caught them in the streets.

    Just FYI, CB’d is the new slang for beating somebody down…and they all should be skerred. Chris is way bigger than ALL them knee-grows! 😆

    Atlanta Housewives + Kandi Burruss = Real A-Town Flava!

    Mar, 7 2009 | Written by ATLien

    It’s been leaked recently that former Xscape member Kandi Burruss has been slated as the replacement for DeShawn Snow on the next season of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta. I’m really excited about this new season!

    Kandi has a looooong history on the music scene in the ‘A.’ From her participation in the R&B singing group Xscape (which also included sisters LaTocha and Tamika Scott, as well as Burruss’ best friend Tameka “Tiny” Cottle)…to her high profile relationships with industry dudes, Kandi’s definitely no stranger to controversy.

    She’ll fit into the ‘housewives’ gang quite well cause her name has been around these here parts for a minute.

    It’s been said that she was the main reason behind the breakup of Xscape because her *cough* ‘relationship’ with the group’s producer, which happened to be Jermaine Dupri, was Continue Reading…

    Newsflash ~ Sheree Whitfield Can’t Afford a Lawyer

    Mar, 6 2009 | Written by ATLien

    I interrupt Flashback Friday to bring you this important update about my 2nd favorite Atlanta ‘Housewife’ without a husband Sheree Whitfield.? It’s being reported this morning that since dismissing her divorce appeal seeking more money from her ex-hubby, former Falcons player Bob Whitfiled, Sheree has failed to pay her attorneys almost $90,000.

    The complaint, dated Feb. 2, 2009 and filed at the Superior Court of Fulton County, states that Sheree Whitfield owed $69,343.98 in principal going back to May 10, 2006. Interest on the unpaid amount, based on a monthly interest rate of 1.5%, is $17,832.93 through January 31, 2009, according to the filing.

    “Plaintiff has contacted Defendant in an effort to collect said debt. Defendent?s refusal to pay said debt as agreed constitutes an act of bad faith and has caused the Plaintiff unnecessary trouble and expense, thereby entitling Plaintff to an award of its expenses of litigation, including reasonable attorney?s fees in an amount to be proven by the evidence at trial.”

    Steven Montalto, the attorney representing Levine & Smith, said as of March 5, 2009, the firm has been unable to track Sheree Whitfield down to service a summons and a copy of the complaint. (Source)

    Now back to our regularly scheduled flashback…

    Mr. & Mrs. Chris Brown?

    Mar, 5 2009 | Written by ATLien

    The Star is reporting that Chris Brown and Rihanna secretly tied the knot over the weekend.? Stating that the two not only reunited at Diddy’s Miami mansion…they got MARRIED!

    “All she’s ever wanted was to be with him forever,” a source tells Star. “Rihanna is looking for the husband-and-two-kids deal before she turns 25. She believes in fairy tales, and she wants to live hers with Chris. She was totally up front and confessed to him, ‘I can’t live without you.'”

    The pair wasted no time making Rihanna’s fairy tale come true. They even called a minister to the mansion on exclusive Star Island!

    I know you’re thinking…why believe The Star?? Well, I don’t believe it either but its worth noting simply because if it does happen to be true, as man and wife, Rihanna can’t be forced to testify against her husband.? Just something to think about…

    Beaten/Battered/Bruised/Shattered and STILL working on my behalf. I’ve nicknamed my iPhone “Rihanna”…

    Kim Zolciak Can’t Afford Her Publicist + Big Papa Named in Lawsuit

    Mar, 3 2009 | Written by ATLien

    I told you guys the other day about how Kim Zolciak’s “webmaster” hijacked her website…well word is that her “webmaster” is actually Atlanta publicist, Jonathan Jaxson. You may remember Jaxson from his highly publicized legal fight against fellow blogger Perez Hilton. Jaxson is peeved at the Atlanta Housewife without a husband about her slacking payments and recently filed suit against her for breach of contract.? Zolciak, in turn, filed her own lawsuit last week claiming that Jaxson hijacked her website and posted ?negative and scurrilous information? about her on the site in retaliation.

    Fulton County Superior Court Judge John Goger ordered Jaxson to take down what he wrote last week until the two sides mediate the issue:

    As a result of the injunction, he has restored the site to what it looked like Feb. 20. Zolciak, in the lawsuit, blamed the ?hijacking? for generating negative publicity ?which has marginalized Ms. Zolciak?s public persona and is negatively impacting her commercial opportunities.?

    Jeff Ward (Jaxon’s Buisness Parner) said the statement on the site was not scurrilous or defamatory; to him, it was factual. He said Jaxson signed on to be Zolciak?s publicist about the time of the popular Bravo show?s finale last fall. He said the two sides signed a $30,000 six-month contract for Jaxson to provide publicity services, including maintaining the Web site and getting her placement in various media outlets. He said he helped place her on the Bonnie Hunt Show, the E! Network and the Golden Globes red carpet.

    Tyler Perry Plans Island Purchase for 40th Birthday

    Mar, 2 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Photo via WireImage

    Fresh off the success of his current film release, Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail (which grossed over $41 million opening weekend), Perry is already planning a quick escape from the madness of Hollywood.? Recently, the 39 year old bachelor confirmed to People Magazine that for his 40th birthday (September 14th) he plans to join the ranks of David Copperfield and Mel Gibson with the purchase of the ultimate getaway. A tropical island paradise!

    “I’m a loner by nature, so when I’m out there on these islands, I just feel like the only person in the world,”

    After recently spending a week vacationing on a private island in the Great Exumas in the Bahamas, he admits it’s not all relaxation: “Renting an island is the best place for me to work uninterrupted.”

    What will he call his own private isle? “It won’t be Tyler Perry’s Island!” he laughs. “I’m so sick of seeing Tyler Perry all over everywhere!”

    Instead, he’ll wait until he’s inspired by the exotic locale, which he hasn’t quite decided on yet. “It’ll speak to me,” he says. “I’ll know what to call it once I’m there.”

    I’m sitting here wondering what would possibly go on on TP’s island paradise. Will there be tons of Madea-esque drag queens struttin around smoking cigarettes in bikini’s or sexy island mami’s catering to his every whim?? Hmmmm? *scratching head*? We’ll never know…cause Tyler’s already imposed one rule before he’s even signed the closing documents… No paparazzi! So I guess we’ll just have to either wait for an invite or use our imagination…

    Have fun Tyler! 🙂 Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail is in theatres now.

But NOW that the divorce is in court, suddenly it’s “seal the documents & protect my privacy”? 🤔

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.

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.

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 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?
