Fans Jump to Defend Joseline Hernandez After Critics Accuse Her of Practicing ‘Voodoo’

“Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” former reality star Joseline Hernandez was slammed by social media followers for her religious beliefs and fans came to the artist’s rescue.

Hernandez shared a picture of she and her one-year-old daughter Bonnie Bella posing in front of two statues and captioned the photo, “Una hija de Changó Al lado De Las Mercedes” which translates into “The daughter of Shango.”

Fans flooded the reality star’s comment section and accused her of being a Satan worshiper, claimed she practiced voodoo and deemed her as “evil.” One person wrote, “You hooked on that voodoo s**t. Don’t send yourself to Hell.” However, fans came to Hernandez’s defense and said “it’s crazy how lost people truly are.”

One person added, “If you don’t know about the religion please don’t comment.”

Another fan wrote, “The ignorance of some people in this world downgrading different diversity of cultures and languages is very sad.”

“Why do you call her evil? Do you know her ? Ur more evil than her to judge her over a comment. Agree to disagree but to judge someone n call them evil for a simple comment is beyond sickening,” a fan exclaimed.

One Instagram user added, “What’s comical is that you are very blind and refuse to see things for how and what they are. Read and research some more before you attempt to condescend somebody. You know nothing about religion(s), their roots, and origins.”

The “Puerto Rican Princess” shared a video of herself working out on Monday and getting into tip-top shape for her new We TV reality show “Joseline Takes Miami.” Hernandez wrote on Instagram, “Getting ready! Things are in pre-production!
My new project with [We TV] will start filming in a few weeks! I could not be more excited 😜 Until that date I have to get my body back right. Especially after this weekend!”

The star’s reality show will highlight her single motherhood and business moves in South Beach, Florida.

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.
