Tommie Lee Gets Out of Jail and Checks Fan Who Calls Her a Gold Digger

Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Tommie Lee clapped back at a fan who accused her of carelessly spending her new boo’s money.

Lee and fashion creative Ian Connor are allegedly dating and have been spotted together over the past few months. She even accompanied him in Paris during men’s fashion week. Nevertheless, Lee took to Instagram on Sunday and posted a photo rocking a purple two-piece outfit from Fashion Nova. She captioned the image, “I Know shawty only on my trail cause he see Ah Ticket……#stayfocused.”

One fan chimed in under the star’s comments and accused her of spending up all of Connor’s money on her attire. The person commented, “Spending Ian money like never before.”

Lee responded back in surprisingly calm manner and wrote, “Ian is hella materialistic and buys me endless Gifts but never in life has he brought me @fashionova lmao stop insulting my ni**a like that sis! As much as I love the Brand he’d be mortified.”

When another fan blasted the reality star for promoting “Fashion Nova” and putting the company down at the same time, Lee couldn’t hold back.

“I see it went over your head just because I fuck with them[Fashion Nova] don’t mean he has to and everybody know fashinova is affordable and cheap so why would someone have to buy me that yes yo slow ass is dead fasho!”

Fans celebrated Lee’s comebacks.

“That was well said.”

“Good job Tommie.”

“Period!”

25-year-old Connor worked as a creative consultant for Kanye West’s company “Yeezy” and typically attends the Louis Vuitton shows.

Lee was sentenced to 2 days in jail for a previous DUI and turned herself in on Tuesday. Her boo Connor was right by her side as she recorded the incident on Instagram Live. She told fans, “This is the last time I’ll ever be making this trip… Don’t make bad decisions, kids. Learn from this now. Last time we doing this now. Whether it’s too minutes, two hours, it’s the last time we doing this kids.”

Still independent.

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.
