‘Sue His Ass!’: ‘Black Ink Crew’ Brand Ambassador Miss Kitty Threatens Legal Action Against Ceaser After He Fires Her

‘Get That Check’: ‘Black Ink Crew’ Fans Urge Kitty to ‘Sue’ Ceaser After He Fires Her in Big Blowup

It looks like Miss Kitty is the latest employee to be terminated from the tattoo shop, and “Black Ink Crew” viewers aren’t too happy about it.

On last week’s episode, “Black Ink” owner Ceaser Emanuel took issue with Kitty allegedly sleeping with his associate Ryan Henry of “Black Ink Crew: Chicago.” The rumor was first started by human resource head Sky Days and has since spread through the shop like a wild fire.

For those unfamiliar with Kitty and Emanuel’s relationship, the pair dated off and on for years and were still sexually involved at the time of the rumor, according to her co-star Donna Lombardi. Their involvement with each other might explain why Emanuel was extremely in his feelings after Days started the rumor about Kitty and Henry.

During Wednesday night’s episode, the “Black Ink” gang traveled to Cleveland, Ohio, to support one team member’s comedy show. Explaining to Days and his cousin Teddy Ruks, a seemingly heartbroken Emanuel said he didn’t want Kitty to stay at their rental house because of her alleged sexual affair with Henry. The tattoo artist’s decision clearly didn’t sit well with Kit, and it caused a huge blowup between the two.

The brand ambassador hopped in Emanuel’s face while also pointing her finger at him and yelled, “You ain’t got no f–king sense.” The “Black Ink” owner responded back, “Get out my face, you don’t put your hands on me! You buggin’ the f–k out.”

Security escorted Kit away from Emanuel, but tension between the pair was still at an all-time high. After things cooled down, Emanuel talked to his brand ambassador and claimed there was no way they’d be able to work together again. He told her, “I think it’s best we go our separate ways.”

The “Black Ink” owner then added in his confessional, “I can’t reconcile the fact that Kit slept with Ryan and she can’t be honest with me. Everybody knows about it. … I’m feeling embarrassed She got me looking stupid out in these streets. “

Kit called Emanuel’s termination against her “illegal” and threatened to take legal action. She added, “I’m going to call my lawyer in the morning.”

Black Ink Crew” viewers agreed with Kitty’s actions and slammed Emanuel for terminating her “for no reason.”

“Wrongful termination girl, get that check! Ceasar loves lawsuits. You cant fire a woman for what she does wit her poopoo. Kitty didn’t deserve that 🤐🤐 !”

“Sue him love, because this is not a motive to be fired. Take every penny he have Kit! He straight up disrespected her!”

“1. You can’t fire her for who she sleep with 2. Look at Ryan Henry. Of course she smashed 3. Caesar just jealous. Lol she said she’s gonna call her lawyer in the morning 😂😂 clean him out kitty”

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.
