‘He’s Dirty Asl’: Fans Accuse Stevie J. of Taunting Joseline with Photos of Their 2-Year-Old Daughter After Recent Custody Battle

“Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Stevie J. is receiving flak for his latest antics apparently towards ex-girlfriend and the mother of his 2-year-old daughter, Joseline Hernandez.

Unfortunately for Hernandez, her latest custody battle with Stevie J. took a turn for the worse when the courts awarded him temporary primary full custody of their daughter Bonnie Bella. The 32-year-old mother of one reportedly disregarded the pair’s custody agreement after refusing him the right to see his daughter nearly two weeks ago.

Since the tables have turned in the former “Bad Boy Entertainment” producer’s favor, he’s been broadcasting photos and videos of their toddler all over social media. Fans believed his intentions for doing so were to taunt Hernandez, who initially had primary custody of their daughter for two years.

In one of Stevie J.’s latest post, he posted a picture of baby Bonnie sleeping next to him in bed and wrote, “Woke up next to an angel this morning 👼🏽 #BonnieBellaJordan #DaJordans.” And in a video uploaded to his Instagram Monday evening, he recorded the 2-year-old yelling, “Daddy” as he played the piano.

Seemingly bragging in his caption, the father of six wrote, “When you hear that voice 🗣 #bonniebella #DaJordans.”

Fans instantly blasted Stevie J. for his apparent vindictive actions toward his ex Hernandez.

“He’s dirty asl! U only posting pics of Bonnie to get back at Joseline 😡 smh you ain’t neva gone change. Try co-parenting u can tell she miss Joseline.”

“He’s posting pics of Bonnie to purposely make Joseline mad. Don’t fight with #BonnieBella mother. That little girl loves her mother. You adults work it out.”

“Now u wanna post her cuz u want custody foh she been wit ha mom this hole tyme u strngr.”

“Am I the only 1 who feel he trying to make Joselyn mad? 😠 Smh damn shame give her back the baby!”

Over the weekend, an arrest warrant was issued for Hernandez after she refused to turn over baby Bonnie to Stevie J. during his custody period, TMZ reported. He was scheduled to pick up their 2-year-old from Miami and keep her from July 28 to August 11, due to Joseline filming “Marriage Boot Camp.” Instead of handing over the child, the Puerto Rican native flew them to Los Angeles.

Hernandez eventually handed off the child to one of Stevie’s adult daughters after a judge threatened to have her arrested by the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department.

As of now, the “LHHATL” actor has sole primary custody of their daughter due to the single mother violating their custody agreement. Hernandez hasn’t said much about their court case, but she wrote a post on Sunday evening saying “My prayers have always been answer!”

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.
