Tommie Lee Shares Special Announcement About Her Homecoming: ‘Real Soon’

It seems “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” alumna Tommie Lee will be home sooner than fans thought.

The reality star has been away from the social media scene after violating her bond in March by showing up to court intoxicated. However, she was let off the hook and avoided prison time after facing as much as 54 years behind bars.

Although she has a mass of obligations to abide by to keep from going to prison, it looks like she’ll be home soon.

Turning 35 years old on Wednesday, June 19, Lee apparently had a representative take to her Instagram Story Thursday and tell fans she should be expected to be home soon.

“Thank you everyone who helped us wish Tommie a happy birthday! She’ll be home real soon!!”

Fans took to the comments underneath Lee’s photo posted to her account on Wednesday and shared their joy about the news of her homecoming.

“Happy bday ❤️love from 🇬🇧 uk we can’t wait for you to come home!!”

“We missed you bae can’t wait to you come home Happy Birthday ♊️ Gang ❤️.”

“HAPPY BELATED G DAY @tommiee_ 🤩🤩 Mine is TODAY 6/20 ♊️♊️♊️♊️ everybody needs a Gemini in there life💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 my nigga comin home soon.”

Last October, Lee was arrested and charged with child cruelty for physically assaulting her younger daughter at the child’s middle school. She was arrested and then released the day after the alleged incident but was thrown back in jail within 24 hours on charges of violating an order to refrain from all contact with the child.

She spent two months behind bars for the incident, then was hauled back off to jail due to violating her bond. She asked to enter a mental health program in March, but was denied due to her long history of criminal activity.

Lee was handed down 10 years of probation after pleading guilty to five charges out of the seven she was hit with. She has been ordered to attend a residential recovery program. After her program is completed, she must spend nearly a year in aftercare with licensed professionals.

The reality star must stay out of trouble during her probation sentence or she immediately will be hauled off to prison, according to news reports.

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.
