  • Is This The Mother of Shaq’s ATL Love Child?

    Feb, 25 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Lawd knows I tried to hold my tounge on this one…but word on the street is that Shaquille O’neal may have left a little legacy in the “A”.? Alexis Miller (aka Mary Jane) the chick who filed a restraining order against the bball star for stalking, withdrew it and then re-appeared on the scene sporting a “Shaq Tatt” has a two-year old son that some are saying clearly resembles my boo!

    The 24 year old inspiring rapper has even bragged about having a son by Shaq to fellow ATLiens. You know I had to digg into my archives to check out what I’d written about this chick…but my keen spidey senses tingled and I detected her level of b*llshit a long time ago when I heard her speak about their relationship with Shaq on an internet podcast.

    She stated that she ended the relationship around July 2008 to *cough* focus on her rap career and that they had dated for a year and a half. She also revealed that she has a 2 year old son whom she says has nothing to do with O?neal. *sigh* {Side Note:} Sometimes I?m not too swift, but those numbers aren?t adding up. Alexis had to have been at least 6 months preggers when they met. 😆

    I don’t know about this one. I already thought she had been paid to drop the charges and that possibly a gag order was in place….but a BABY!? Say it ain’t so?!?!!

    Lisa Wu-Hartwell, NeNe Leakes and Sheree Whitfield left their comfy confines of North Atlanta to make a trip over to the Eastside last weekend.? The three Real Housewives of Atlanta paid a visit to Dekalb County’s South Dekalb Mall for a special panel discussion with host/moderator V-103’s Ryan Cameron.

    The housewives event was orignally scheduled for 4:00pm Saturday but got a late start because all of the housewives had not arrived. By about 4:30pm Ryan finally took the stage and blamed Sheree as the late culprit.? A crowd of about 200 fans cheered and screamed their names as they finally got started.? Questions were prepared in advance, but the biggest revelation came when the trio announced that Season Two would finally begin filming on Monday (today).


    Check out a few of the questions/answers addressed on the panel below: Continue Reading…

    Flix ~ Tameka Raymond Headed Home + Usher Didn’t Know?

    Feb, 19 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Photos via INF

    Tameka Foster Raymond was spotted at Brazil’s Airport of Guarulhos yesterday headed home after recovering in a Brazilian hospital after her liposuction plans were spoiled. Mrs. Raymond spent 11 days recovering from cardiac arrest suffered immediately prior to undergoing the plastic surgery procedure. Her hubby, Usher left a few days earlier amidst speculation that he’s pissed off at Tameka’s decision to have the surgery in the first place.

    Reports have surfaced which claim Usher had no knowledge of his wife’s travel plans to Brazil and that he definitely didn’t approve of her having plastic surgery. It’s also being reported that Tameka lied to Brazilian doctors about the time frame of the birth of her last child claiming she’d given birth 4 months ago when in fact her son is only two months old.

    I said it on Twitter yesterday and I ain’t ashamed to say it here too… I would be p*ssed “A”zz hell if I went in to have lipo, almost died and woke up to the same fat on my tummy! No joke. Life is precious and her decisions may have been flawed, but Tameka faces the daily scrutiny from a hateful public. I’m not saying her actions were OK….but I understand.? I’m just glad she came out of this OK.

    Mugshot Mania ~ It’s Hard Out There For A PIMP…

    Feb, 18 2009 | Written by ATLien

    In light of the whole Chris Brown/Rihanna saga, celebs everywhere have been either commenting or taking sides. Actor Terrence Howard recently proclaimed, “It’s just life, man. Chris is a great guy. He’ll be alright… and Rihanna knows he loves her, you know? They’ll be alright.” Howard later apologized for his remark as being insensitive to domestic violence. It has now been revealed that Mr. Bright Eyes himself has been arrested for a domestic incident involving his estranged wife:

    Via TheSmokingGun

    According to a Whitemarsh Police Department report, after Howard and Lori McCommas argued on the phone, the actor warned, “Don’t disrespect me by hanging up on me or I’ll come over and hurt you.” McCommas then “hung up and contacted 911 fearing Howard was serious.” While McCommas was speaking with a police dispatcher, Howard “showed up at the victim’s residence and began breaking the door down.” McCommas ran to the rear of the house and into the backyard. Howard then “broke the front door down and ran through the screen door in the kitchen. Howard then grabbed the victim’s left arm and punched her twice with a closed fist in the left side of the face.”

    The attack was broken up by Howard’s brother, who responded to McCommas’s house after he “saw Howard storm out of their house to go to the victim’s house.” When a Whitemarsh cop responded to the scene, Howard admitted, “I broke the door down and hit my wife.” A second officer noted there was “fresh damage to the front door and marks on the victim’s face and arm from being struck.” Police evidence photos show the damage Howard did to the doors in McCommas’s residence.

    After being charged with a variety of crimes (simple assault, terroristic threats, harassment and stalking), Howard subsequently pleaded guilty in 2002 to disorderly conduct. The actor is pictured above in a Whitemarsh Police Department mug shot.

    Spotted ~ Usher Leaving Brazilian Hospital/Headed Back to the States

    Feb, 18 2009 | Written by ATLien

    Usher Raymond was spotted leaving the Sirio-Libanes Hospital in Sao Paulo Brazil after a visit to his wife Tameka last weekend. A Brazilian news outlet reports that Mrs. Raymond, who is still in the hospital after suffering cardiac arrest that occurred during a plastic surgery procedure over a week ago, is still recovering and is taking antibiotics to fight a lung infection, somewhat common in these cases.

    Although he spent most of his time at the hospital with Tameka, Ursh was still able to do a bit of Brazillian sight-seeing, as he was photographed walking around Sao Paulo’s Jardins neighborhood and doing a little shopping with a pal over the weekend.

    I’m confident Tameka’s condition is improving since her hubby was spotted on his way back to the U.S. yesterday. That’s a good sign that things should be back to normal in the Raymond household soon. My prayers are with them and their family.

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

Meanwhile Todd ain’t trying to seal a thing.
So what changed? And what doesn’t she want the public to see?

        They try to silence strong Black women for telling They try to silence strong Black women for telling the truth — but somehow misogyny gets rewarded with views, clicks, and applause.

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.

        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 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?
