An adorable video of Stevie J’s daughter is going viral for the wrong reasons.

Fans began paying less attention to young Bonnie Bella, whose mother is LHH alum, Joseline Hernandez, exploring her drumset and microphone and instead focused on her hair in a not-so-perfect-looking style.

“She’s a natural. #BonnieBella,” her “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” dad commented on the Sunday, July 1 video of the 1-year-old.

Several commenters remarked on how cute the child was, but the praise quickly devolved into fans lashing out about Bonnie’s hair.

“Beautiful but I agree do something to that porcupine hair … Joseline would not come out looking that way don’t have her head like that 🤔.”

“Why her hair like Angelica’s doll’s tho 😂🤦🏽‍♀️.”

“What y’all do to that baby head?”

“The baby hair stay not done.”

“Why do you guys always have yourselves put together and then her looking like Crazy Eyes from ‘Orange Is The New Black’?”

Still, some other commenters came to her defense.

“Y’all mfz acting like…y’all ain’t eva did ya daughters hair one way..and when they woke up all hell done broke loose… Grow up yall…she’s a baby..chilling.. Make us a hit Miss Bonnie😍❤😍❤😍❤.”

“Y’all be forgetting celebs are regular people too just got a lot of money. The child’s hair ain’t gotta be all did up making the look like real-life dolls etc. That’s why kids grow up and become spoiled brats. Leave that baby alone.”

“She’s in the house minding her business. Nobody cares about her hair.”

“I see her hair done in plenty pics. You don’t see her posted no 24/7 on the page. You can’t even say when a pic is taken. Get out of social media reality and think real life. Maybe this pic was taken in the morning before she got her hair done. All you know is a pic was taken.”

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.
