‘What Happened to Hiding?’: Eva Marcille’s Photo of New Home Prompts Fans to Bring Up Her Supposed Running From Ex

During season 11 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” fans were surprised to learn Eva Marcille fears for her safety amid ongoing custodial friction with her ex, music producer Kevin McCall. So much so that she is constantly finding new places to live.

Marcille’s real-life concerns made it even more shocking to fans when the newly married model posted on Instagram that she and her husband said “yes” to a new home.

She captioned the photo, “When God says Yes! #Blessed #TheSterlings #WeAintGotIt.

The post was peppered with comments such as “Yassss,” “Bravo” “Perfect,” and “Congratulations sis!” There was even a, “Let’em know Eva!” and a “Shut the haters up,” found in comments under her post.

Others left comments wondering if the mother of two still had to constantly look over her shoulder in fear of being stalked by her ex.

“But I thought you didn’t want your ‘donor’ to know where you … nevermind.”

“Huh congratulations but what happened to hiding from the donor?”

“Exactly what I was thinking. He definitely seems dangerous. And he can now locate her as a homebuyer.”

McCall, who was thrust into the limelight with a feature on Chris Brown’s hit song “Deuces,” has had more run-ins with police and social media meltdowns than moments with his and Eva’s daughter, 5–year-old Marley Rae Sterling, whose last name was changed this year from McCall to that of the child’s stepfather, Marcille’s attorney husband Michael Sterling.

On Nov. 5 McCall was arrested in Atlanta at a Fulton County courts building ahead of child custody hearing. McCall was live-streaming inside, which is only allowed with written permission, when he refused a deputy’s orders to put the phone away. “You going to have to get her to me. Marley, your daddy finna get you baby. … I love you,” said McCall to the camera.

Surveillance footage of the incident even shows the singer take a tumble down an escalator with a deptuy. He was held on a $11,000 bond, and needless to say, didn’t get to see his daughter.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
