Joseline Hernandez’s Comments Section Flipped Upside Down After Fans Give Hazel-E Heat for Her Compliment of ‘LHHATL’ Alum

Joseline Hernandez is enjoying some one-on-one time with boyfriend DJ Balistic Beats and getting lots of love from fans over their pic together. But things went left when Hazel-E left a comment that had Hernandez’s Instagram followers puzzled.

Hernandez and her man posed together in Miami’s Keystone Islands district on Nov. 14.

“Everything on point 👅” the former “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star captioned the image.

Fans soon poured out with adoring remarks for the lovebirds.

“Yassssss girl I love it♥️♥️ “

“👀I love the woman that you have become since giving birth. Your glow is contagious and I’m so happy for everything you’re doing! Congrats! Plus your new man FINE FINE! 😜😘”

“Look waaaaaaay better than Stevie, that’s for damn sure!”

Yet the lovefest took a sharp turn when Hazel E used a phrase many teens drop on social media to indicate that a man and woman are “couple goals.”

“Mom & Dad 😍”

The use of the phrase seemed to be lost on Hernandez’s fans, however. They took it to mean that Hazel was remarking on the “LHH” franchise star’s age. Hazel is 39, while Hernandez is six years her junior.

“@hazelebaby hazel ur 50 chill out 😩😩”

“@hazelebaby how you going to call someone way younger than you mom and dad lol wake up old lady”

“@ri.bailey I was just about to say she looks older than Jocelyn 😩” another commenter agreed.

“@hazelebaby u old as her how in the helllll😂🤣😂 leave my princess lone 😂🤣🤣”

“@hazelebaby you too old to be calling them mom & dad”

“@hazelebaby you look older then them frfr lbvs🤣😣💯”

Hernandez hasn’t addressed the commotion, but she’s clearly going strong with her DJ beau. Yet that doesn’t mean they don’t have some issues they apparently need to work out. The pair had been named in a report from August claiming they’re slated to join the upcoming season of We TV’s “Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars.”

The show, which will be entering its 15th season, follows several reality TV stars as they navigate through their marital struggles with counselors all under the roof of a mansion. By the end of the experience, the couples must decide if they want to stay together or end their union.

When fans initially heard that Hernandez and Balistic might be involved this season, it set off alerts that the two could be married. That assumption isn’t too much of a stretch either, considering Hernandez refers to Balistic Beats as “hubby.”

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.
