‘Not Bonnie’s Cabaret’: Fans Baffled After Joseline Hernandez Says This About Daughter’s Future

What does Stevie J. and the Puerto Rican Princess’ daughter, Bonnie Bella Jordan, know about a cabaret? Apparently a whole lot, if you let her mother Joseline Hernandez tell it!

While screening her new Zeus Network show, Joseline’s Cabaret, Hernandez hilariously told the audience that her daughter was all for mommy’s return to the screen.

“Bonnie’s cabaret, I said, ’uh-uh, this Joseline’s cabaret,’” said the “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” veteran. “If a 3-year-old can get with this, she’s tapped in, she’s in tune with future, everybody raise your hand if you’re in tune with future,” added the reality TV personality through her heavy accent.

Fans in the audience and on social media cackled at Hernandez’s unbelievable anecdote.

“What she say??”

“Not Bonnies cabaret 🤭”

“It be your own kids 😩”

Audiences first met the former fiery stripper-turned-rapper/singer in 2012 when the “Love and Hip Hop” franchise launched its down south spinoff. Since her small-screen debut, fans have watched Hernandez work on her English, fall in and out of love with Stevie J., go back and forth with Mimi Faust, and fight to regain her freedom as a single woman figuring out motherhood.

The 33-year-old even shared the limelight more directly with the father of her only child in their spinoff “Stevie J. and Joseline Go Hollywood,” which ended terribly and proved just how toxic the duo were for each another.

Despite a short-lived return to the “LHH” franchise, Hernandez seemingly threw in the towel in 2017. Yet, three years later and she’s back like she never left, with her new show about — drum roll, please — her running a strip club and looking for the finest talent to grace the stage and work a pole in Miami.

Juding by the trailer, there will be plenty of drama, fishnets and altercations between the women. The first episode aired Jan. 19, so it’s not too late to get into it!

“Episode 1 was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I can’t wait to see the rest❤️”

“You gone do what u do and it gone be great per usual”

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.
