‘Love and Hip Hop’ Star Tommie Lee Showered with Support After Removing Ankle Monitor 

“Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” cast-mate Tommie Lee finally had her court-ordered ankle bracelet removed and fans were quite supportive of the star.

The upcoming rap artist ran into prior legal trouble due to her excessive drinking and was ordered to wear a monitor around her ankle for several months. However, all of that is behind her and the star was happy to just have her “leg back.”

Lee took to her Instagram Live video on Saturday and recorded the entire process of having her bracelet cut off. She filmed herself walking into the CSRA Probation Services Inc. She said in her video, “Today is the day I say goodbye to my little friend,” and motioned towards the legal device.”

A legal representative was seen clipping the monitor off and Lee wrote, “I pray I never ever experience this typa embarrassment again in life.”

The “LHHATL” star was overwhelmed with joy after the removal process was over and typed, “Can’t wait to take a bath and go swimming.”

Fans chimed in under the comment section to congratulate Lee offer her a few words of encouragement.

“I’m proud of her. I hope she keep up the good work 🤗,” a fan of Lee’s wrote.

“There’s life after the tunnel keep your head up Tommie❤️,” another added.

“Keep going!!”

“Congrats. Stay strong and Positive.”

An Instagram user said, “I hope she got a plan to get some act right and never get it again! Lesson learned! Good luck! Go live your Best life in a positive way!😘”

In May, a Georgia judge ordered the “LHHATL” star to wear the SCRAM Continuous Alcohol Monitoring device around her ankle due to two pending cases she had against her. She was not allowed to consume any alcohol until her cases were finalized. The device was made to monitor alcohol intake every few minutes.

During the recent season of the VH1 reality show, Lee revealed her struggles with alcohol. She said it helped her “cope with a lot of things going on in my life.” However, the star said she’s working on bettering herself.

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.
