‘Why TF She Back?’: Fans Slam K. Michelle for Return to ‘LHHH’ After She’d Quit

It looks like “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood” viewers can expect some of the show’s veterans to reappear on the upcoming season.

The season 6 trailer of “LHHH” dropped this week, and fans were shocked to see R&B singer K. Michelle starring on the show. For those who need a reminder, K. quit the series last season after blaming producers for their “sloppy” editing. She apparently felt some type of way at the time about season 5’s trailer referencing her health-threatening plastic surgery as “botched.”

“I quit already,” she tweeted to a fan June 2018, when asked if she was returning back to LHHH. “They reach so much they loose the truth. I’m coo.” She then added, “Done. Done.”

Well, it looks like the “Pay My Bills” singer may have had a change of heart and will be a part of the new season’s cast. Wearing a cowgirl hat and getup, K. says in the trailer, “Y’all thought y’all seen it, but y’all ain’t seen s–t like this. … Y’all seen me shake the tables, but you ain’t seen me like this. A little bit of country ain’t never hurt nobody.”

A bit confused and upset, viewers wondered why the R&B artist made her way back to the VH1 small screen after last year’s squabble.

“Why TF she back? 😕 I could’ve sworn she made a big deal n quit last year. 🙄 Them last albums didn’t do well huh.”

“K.michelle just going from one l&hh to another. Sis needs them coins 😂.”

“Bye K Michelle why tf you keep coming back 🙄. Been on LHH since Atlanta she need a check apparently.”

“Didn’t K. quit? Why is she on this trash show again? I think she might need the money 😕.”

K. Michelle has starred on the “Love and Hip Hop” franchise since it first aired in 2012 featuring “LHHATL.” She made her way over to “LHHNY” and now she’s on “LHHH.”

A few fans are looking forward to the star’s return.

“I’m so happy to see K. back this season might actually be good ❤️.”

She’ll be starring on the show along with veteran co-stars Apryl Jones, Lil Fizz, A1 Bentley, Lyrica Anderson, Ray J. Norwood, Princess Love and new comer Micky Munday. Other favorites such as Brooke Valentine, Marcus Black, Rocc Star, Teairra Mari and Safaree Samuels will apparently not be returning this season.

The season premiere will air Monday, August 5, on VH1 network.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
