‘WTH’: Stevie J. Teases ‘New Show’ with Joseline Hernandez and Sends Social Media Into a Tizzy

It looks like “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Stevie J. and his ex-fiancé Joseline Hernandez may be on good terms following their nasty custody battle.

Recently the pair have been going back and forth in court over their custody agreement regarding their 2-year-old daughter Bonnie Bella Hernandez. Stevie J. claimed Hernandez violated their child custody agreement and refused to let him see their daughter, while the mother of one denied all of his allegations.

Both parties were scheduled to appear in Fulton County Court in Atlanta yesterday, and it seems all may have went between them, seeing as a group photo was posted afterward.

Stevie J., 47, took to Instagram Thursday, August 15, and shared a photo of himself, his attorney Adamma McKinnon, his best friend Benzino, “LHHATL” stars Akbar V and Sierra Gates, and last but not least Joseline Hernandez and her boyfriend DJ Balistics Beats. Stevie J. and Hernandez’s 2-year-old daughter was sitting on her mother’s lap.

The former “Bad Boy Entertainment” producer seemingly insinuated that the group photo was work-related, writing in his caption, “Cast for my new show 😉.”

To say the least, fans were stunned to see Stevie J., Hernandez and her new man all in the same picture together.

“Oh wow 😮! I wish with u and joseline lolol stevie is this photoshop? U blinking ur eye and stuff.”

“WTF!!! Whaaaat Benzino & The Puerto Rican princess and her new man & Stevie together?! 😮”

“Look at bonnie 😫like this is going to be a dam disaster 🤣 when is the showing airing?”

“When tf did this happen!? Where’s Faith? Anyway I’m definitely tuning in & happy you & @hitmansteviej_1 Are back on good terms again… I’m tuning in for damn sho 🤘🏿💯”

Things took an ugly turn between Stevie J. and Hernandez after he was awarded temporary custody of their daughter for nearly two weeks after the 32-year-old disregarded their custody agreement, TMZ reported. An arrest warrant was issued for the reality actress’s arrest by a judge to compel her to turn over baby Bonnie to her father.

Hernandez has been mute on social media following the scheduled appearance in court on Thursday. Specific details on her and Stevie’s custody battle have yet to be released.

As for the father of six’s alleged new reality show, no details have yet to be confirmed.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
