“Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” star Tommie Lee has endured a very emotional journey throughout season 7 on the reality show. Nevertheless, the aspiring rapper brought her friends together to issue an apology of sorts and provide insight into her struggles.

During the season finale on Monday night, Tommie got emotional while sharing with the cast her battles with excessive drinking. She made amends with everyone she’s had a confrontation with.

“My life is a lot different from all of you guys,” the reality star said. “People think I’m just some big crazed alcoholic … I drink [but] I’m dealing with stuff… I’m just trying to right my wrongs and it’s probably going to take some time.”

Tommie said she’s been working on growing and prospering into a better and more mature person despite her past unruly behavior.

The star also explained how important pursuing her music career is and apologized to Jamaican Dancehall artist Spice. The pair got into a verbal altercation earlier during the season when Tommie showed up three hours later on the video set with a cup of alcohol in her hand. Spice slammed the aspiring rapper for her tardiness and said her love for alcohol was affecting her music career.

“I know it’s been a long road for us,” Tommie expressed to Spice. “You feel like I don’t really care, but this is my baby, this is my heart, and this is my passion right here…”

The two women cried, hugged it out and debuted their new music video and song “I’ma Get It.” Other cast members got emotional too after the heartfelt apology and embrace

Fans praised Tommie for her growth and being open with her struggle.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
