According to Stevie J, his wife Joseline Hernandez was not high on crack cocaine when she attacked several of her "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" cast members during a taping of the Season 3 reunion in New York City in July.
Stevie told TMZ that Althea Heart made up the story about Joseline doing drugs backstage at the taping. Stevie also said that he and Joseline are countersuing Althea for making up the lies. Althea, Benzino's fiancée, is suing Joseline for assaulting her.
According to TMZ, Stevie feels Althea is only pressing charges because she is trying to hide the fact that Benzino punched Joseline during the reunion fight. In his suit, Stevie said that "no grown man should hit a woman."
When TMZ contacted Benzino, he didn't deny hitting Joseline but said that, "It's clear that [Stevie] and his whore jumped off the couch and attacked us and whatever happened form there was merely self-defense."
On July 15, during the taping of the reunion Joseline attacked Althea before going after Tammy and then Mimi Faust. Waka Flaka's mom, Deb Antney, also got caught up in the brawl. Media Take Out previously reported that Joseline was allegedly caught by VH1 producers doing drugs backstage.
Reportedly, the entire thing was caught on camera but producers decided not to air her alleged drug use on TV.
"Joseline was basically running around backstage with a crackpipe hanging out of her mouth," the source told MTO.
Several of the "Love & Hip Hop" cast members expressed similar views and hinted that Joseline was not in her right mind during the fight. While on stage discussing the fight, Mama Dee said it needs to be mandatory drug testing next time.
Do you think Joseline Hernandez should be fired from "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta"?
