A fan concerned about Lee’s employment status on “LHHATL” commented, “Please tell me you’re back for season eight?!”

Lee frankly responded, “Nah Son 💃🏽.”

Other fans chimed in and suggested for Lee to have her own reality show.

“Mann wtf u not bro!” one fan exclaimed. “Get ya own show!”

A second fan wrote, “We need her to get her own show started 🏆.”

A few weeks ago, fans asked Lee if her recent legal troubles would affect her position on the VH1 series. The star took to her Instagram Story on Jan. 2 and addressed her supporters by saying, “I loved my old job but I no longer work with them.”

A fan who was still confused if whether or not the 34-year-old quit the “LHH” franchise asked her to clarify her statement.

“Did that story mean you quit LHH???” the person asked. Lee replied, “Facts.”

Lee’s departure from the shows stems reportedly stems from her ongoing child cruelty case. She’s accused of physically assaulting her daughter at a Cobb County, Georgia, middle school in October 2017. She allegedly slapped her daughter in the face, dragged the child by her hair and slammed her head into a metal locker.

The 34-year-old mother of two was indicted in December on seven ]charges. If convicted, she could face 54 years behind bars.

Lee left season 7 of the VH1 series on shaky grounds after being put on blast for her excessive drinking. The star admitted that alcohol helps her cope with the hardships in her life. At one point during the season, she was prevented from filming due to outbursts.

Lee joins a list of other celebs who’ve quit the “LHH” franchise, such as K. Michelle, Masika Kalysha and Joseline Hernandez.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
