The girlfriend of Chicago tattoo artist Ryan Henry is becoming the least favorable on “Black Ink Crew Chicago”.

During last weeks episode, Rachel Leigh along with Henry was confronted by former “9MAG” employees Van Johnson and Charmaine Walker at a tattoo convention.

As soon as Walker approached the couple Leigh yelled out, “The b***h is here.”

She continued, ” I don’t give a f**k about what he did, this is my family and you don’t f**k with him and I don’t f**k with you.” However, fans were quite annoyed with Leigh’s attitude and wanted to know where “all of this energy is coming from?”

One person wrote, “Rachel doing tooooo much.”

Another fan said, “That girl always wanna make herself relevant.”

A third person added, “Rachel got a lot to say nowadays I can’t stand her Keep ya 👀👀 on her.”

Last season Leigh found out that Henry cheated on her with one of his former employees Katrina Jackson who revealed that the two had sexual relations in 2016 in a bathroom. The pair apparently were still communicating and texting although he was still coupled with Leigh.

Henry and the mother of his children flipped out on VH1’s film and production crew when they aired the cheating scandal on television that brought Jackson and Leigh face to face. Leigh still stayed by her boyfriend’s side despite his infidelity.

Henry’s girlfriend is also the mother of singer Jeremih’s son and shares children with the Chicago tattoo artist. She and Henry have had an off-and-on relationship over the course of years.

To make matters worst Leigh seemed extremely unimpressed with Henry’s new tattoo shop and she tried to buck up on the old crew members. She used to be one “Black Ink Crew Chicago” favorite, but her negative energy lately has been turning fans off.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

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.
