‘What the Hell?’: Tiny Harris Robbed of 750K Worth of Jewelry, Including Wedding Rings

Posted byBy Daryl Nelson | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Tiny Harris was the victim of a robbery when someone broke into her yellow Lamborghini SUV and stole $750,000 worth of jewelry.

According to WSB-TV, the Xscape singer and reality star, who’s also T.I.‘s wife, was having drinks with a friend on Sunday at Bar Amalfi in Atlanta’s Midtown section when it happened.

Harris noticed the stolen jewelry when she returned to her luxury vehicle at 9:45 p.m. and saw that her blue velour bag was missing from the center console. In the end, the thief got away with watches, stud earrings, wedding rings and other pieces of jewelry.

One source, who’s connected to the Atlanta Police Department, said security was at the restaurant when the bag would’ve been stolen, but that person didn’t see anything suspicious. And a second witness said the same. There were also no signs of damage or the Lamborghini being broken into.

But Harris seems to be taking the robbery in stride, at least based on what she posted to Instagram on Monday about attending the celebration for Tyler Perry‘s new film studio on Saturday.

Besides the Harris,’ many of Black entertainment’s elite were there, including Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Halle Berry, Samuel L. Jackson and Viola Davis.

“On a lighter note…this happen the other night!!” wrote Harris next to a photo of herself, T.I., Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King. “What better strong, successful black woman/women could I have met!! @oprah & @gayleking Thx to @tylerperry the room was filled with nothing short of incredible Black excellence. Definitely a night to remember 🙏🏽👑❤️🙌🏽.”

“Sorry about you jewelry sis😢,” someone wrote beneath the post.

But others showed a little less sympathy.

“How you going to leave $750,000 worth of jewelry in your car and it Get stolen? What the Hell was you thinking?.!!!!” one person commented.

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.
