‘She Had a Big Belly When She Came to Me’: Joseline Hernandez Surprises Dancer with $10K, Learns ‘Joseline’s Cabaret’ Season 3 Will Be Headed to Las Vegas

The self-proclaimed Puerto Rican Princess, Joseline Hernandez, says she’s finally living her dreams. The reality star signed a deal with Zeus Network in 2019 to star and produce her dream show “Joseline’s Cabaret” which is now heading into its third season.

The reality series chronicles her life as a mother, fiancée, and businesswoman who uses her experience as a former stripper to launch a cabaret and help a struggling gentlemen’s club.

“I feel great. I feel amazing. I feel so powerful that I finally got my dream,” Hernandez told Atlanta Black Star.

Hernandez performed some of her solo hits and then performed with the ladies of season 2’s cabaret for the first time in Atlanta at Door 54 in the Buckhead district on Feb. 21. 

Fans, supporters, and ladies from “Joseline’s Cabaret Miami” congratulated Hernandez and the women of season 2, which is currently filming in Atlanta.

“You are an amazing partner,” said Zeus Network producer and CEO Lemuel Plummer. “We’ve accomplished so much in such a short time. I look forward to continuing to go through it with you. Congratulations.”

Hernandez says she couldn’t be more excited about how her life is going. Especially after a very public breakup with her daughter’s father and former “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” cast member Stevie J. and her exit from the “LHH” franchise over three years ago.

“There were a lot of ups and downs, but we made it happen,” said Hernandez.

The reality star also used her spotlight to shine a light on one of her dancers. At the end of the night, while Hernandez was thanking fans for their continued support, she surprised season 2 dancer Chanel Tso with $10,000.

“She was as quiet as a mouse and a follower,” said Hernandez. “She had a big belly when she came to me, and she was a drunk. Through therapy, through sisterhood, through the fights, through arguments, she practiced daily, and she was the underdog.”

As if the night couldn’t get any better, the Puerto Rican Princess learned that she will be setting out on a mission to find yet again another group of fearless women to transform their lives, as season 3 of her show will be filmed in Las Vegas.

“We got the green light tonight. I feel good about season 3,” said Hernandez.

The Miami native also recognized her hubby-to-be DJ Balistic Beats as her rock and thanked him for being by her side supporting her every step of the way.

While she is happier than ever, Hernandez says she’s still not sure on the exact date they will tie the knot.

“I feel amazing,” said Hernandez.

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.
