Posted byBy Tia Berger | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Tommie Lee appears to be a free woman and recently shared a sneak peek for a new single she’s working on.

Lee’s alleged released date was December 14, but the “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star appears to be out of jail and back on the grind. She took to Instagram on Monday to post a video teaser for a new music track she’s planning to release. In the song, Lee addressed being sexually abused as a child and her mother’s negligence.

She captioned the video teaser, “I’m Not A Perfect Person Nor Do I Pretend to Be!! Your Not Either You Just Know How To Hide #TRUTH #December14 #tommieshit#tommieHome @anthonyhamiltonofficial its An everyday struggle trying to keep my #Dreams from becoming #nightmares.”

Lee was arrested in October for violating a court order that demanded she refrained from making contact with her eldest daughter. 24 hours before that, Lee was detained for allegedly slamming the child’s head into a locker at a Cobb County middle school. She was charged with aggravated assault, simple battery, first-degree child cruelty and disruption of public schools.

However, the star spent a total of two months behind bars. She was set to be released on Nov. 7, but was rearrested once again on the same day for violating her probation for her 2016 DUI case. Sources alleged that Lee was supposed to be released this week, but it looks like the reality star is already home and getting back to work.

Fans are rooting for Lee to “stay out of trouble” and continue on the right track for success.

“Welcome home 😍 now please just stay out of jail!”

“FINALLY Welcome home! I hope you stay out of trouble this time.”

“Hey sis happy you back stay out sis. F**k them up in 2019.”

“I love ❤️❤️🔥u I’m glad you’re home… back to the BAG continue learning from your mistakes .. I’m rooting for you to WIN!!!”

One person on the other hand told Lee that her “not being a perfect person” doesn’t excuse her from consistently getting in trouble.

“No1 is perfect but some people keep messing up more than others and you can’t use “nobody is perfect as an excuse.”

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.
