    Early Tuesday morning, around 1 am, the Grammy nominated R&B singer stopped by a 24 hour CVS Pharmacy in Carson, California for painkillers in advance of dental surgery she was having and was old by the pharmacist on duty that they didn?t fill certain prescriptions after midnight because of the area where the store was located.

    Kelly Price 9Price was offended because she believes such a refusal wouldn?t have happened in a neighborhood with a higher socio-economic status and a different demographic makeup.

    ?I was offended for anybody who lives in a neighborhood that may not be considered the upper echelon ? where expensive homes are. Or where six- and seven-figure earners live.?

    Price hit her Facebook page to explain her position and to appropriately put the drug store on blast. In an open letter titled ‘SHAME ON YOU CVS,’ Price details her frustration with the drug chainand calls them out on what she feels are discriminatory practices.

    FOR DISCUSSION: Is the ‘N-Word’ Just a Noun?? EMPIRE’s Terence Howard Says White Friends Can Use The Word… [VIDEO]

    Mar, 17 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Terrence Howard Access Hollywood 1

    As we draw closer to the end of the first season of EMPIRE, the show’s star Terrence Howard is speaking up about utlizing the n-word on the show.

    EMPIRE - StraightFromTheADuring a recent appearance on Access Hollywood Live, Howard explained how his character ‘Lucious Lyons’ is a Black version of Archie Bunker (i.e. racist, bigoted, homophobic) and he weighs in on why he feels using the n-word on EMPIRE could be a means a defusing racism.

    For the record, Howard’s view differs from costar Taraji P. Henson, who has said publicly that she?s against the of the word, but he feels it?s time to get real. The Oscar nominee wants to drop the stigma surrounding the word which he believes would make the Lee Daniels hip-hop drama feel more authentic.

    I believe, if we?re gonna really tackle racism? If we?re gonna tackle bigotry, if we?re gonna tackle homophobia ? we need to tackle it dead on.

    Since ‘n*gga’ is used in almost every conversation in most Black neighborhoods why is it that we don?t hear it on TV anymore? Are white people afraid of it? Did they create the word? But if this is something that we use on a daily basis, then let?s address what it REALLY means?

    Interesting… what DOES the n-word mean exactly? Howard explains his take on it in the video below… Continue Reading…

    Funny? Or Nah? #RHOA Claudia Jordan Compares Black Man to ‘Monkey’ During Stand-Up Routine… [VIDEO]

    Mar, 16 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Watch What Happens Live - Season 12

    Claudia Jordan of The Real Housewives of Atlanta revealed that one of her passions was stand-up comedy.

    [READ: RECAP: RHOA S7, Ep17 ‘Fix It Therapy’ + Watch Full Video]

    During the episode, Claudia sought advice from a few professionals, like Gary With Da Tea and standup veteran Luenell and she even made a list of bullet points. But when Jordan attempted to try out a few jokes at Atlanta’s Uptown Comedy club in front of an audience of one (they had to fit background character Demetria McKinney in somehow), Jordan proved she’s not too entertaining.

    Claudia Tweet 1
    What’s even worse is that I feel like Claudia’s new ‘storyline’ was basically created to clean up her previous attempts at stand-up. If you recall, she feels offensive jokes like saying she can’t see dark-skinned Black people at night, her segment on Jamie Foxx’s show referring to Tameka ‘Tiny’ Cottle as a ‘waste of light skin’, and comparing Black men to ‘monkeys’ are all hilarious.

    Jan, 20 2015 | Written by ATLien

    skins
    Last night, The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) aired Bill Duke’s ‘Light Girls’ documentary, the filmmaker’s follow-up to his exploration of colorism, Dark Girls (January 19, 2015).

    Duke explores the pain, privilege and prejudice of light-skinned women in the new documentary, ?Light Girls,? which is a spin-off of ?Dark Girls.?light-girls

    [FLASHBACK: The Shade Debate: Are ‘Dark Girls’ Treated Differently? (WATCH FULL VIDEO)]

    The Black community once again addressed ‘colorism,’ and Life Coach Iyanla Vanzant was there to lead the way as she detailed how hurtful words and name calling affects younger people as they move into their adulthood.

    Diahann Carroll, Kym Whitley, Essence Atkins, Raven-Symone (who once proclaimed to Oprah her desire to not be ‘labeled’ any color) and more opened up about their harsh experiences as light-skinned black women.

    ?When I had my own show, I used to tan three or four times a week in a tanning bed to get darker. I did,? Raven-Symone revealed in the new doc in reference to her show, ?That?s So Raven.?

    FAN MAIL – Offensive #RHOA Posters Spotted Around Atlanta… [PHOTOS]

    Jan, 20 2015 | Written by ATLien

    RHOA Offensive Poster Atlanta - StraightFromTheA

    I’ve received several emails about an offensive RHOA poster spotted around Atlanta.

    For those who don’t know, The Real Housewives of Atlanta?is the only all-Black franchise of Bravo’s Housewives and it’s also been the highest rated for several seasons now. ?No other franchise of the popular related show even has ONE Black character on the cast.

    [READ: RECAP: RHOA S7, Ep11 ‘Divide & Kiki’ (WATCH FULL VIDEO)]

    Apparently the network (or their marketing agency) decided that it would be a smart idea to take advantage of that fact in their promo materials and have launched something called #BlackWIVESMatter….

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?

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 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?
