Local News
A well-known reality TV personality and rap artist, 39-year-old Atasha Chizaah Jefferson, also known as Tommie Lee, was arrested in the early hours of Monday morning outside Club LIV in Miami Beach.
Police responded to a call at approximately 2:20 a.m. and found Jefferson being restrained by the victim of the incident. The victim reported that Jefferson approached him closely and attempted to place an item in his hand without his consent. When the victim refused the item and tried to ignore Jefferson, she allegedly became agitated and physically assaulted him by poking him in the face.
The victim then held Jefferson’s arms behind her back until the authorities arrived at the scene. Surveillance footage corroborated the victim’s statement, leading to Jefferson’s arrest on a battery charge. Jefferson, who gained fame for her appearance on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,” was taken into custody without further incident.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting personal boundaries and handling disagreements peacefully.
