‘LHHATLS7’ Recap: Estelita Is Another Vulnerable Woman Who Fell For Stevie’s Beefcake

Read the original:

Source: Prince Williams / Getty The crux of tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta is about Estelita realizing she got got by Stevie J and wanting off his label, Danger Zone. We start with Mimi taking it upon herself to confront Stevie about his Stevie behavior on behalf of Estelita. We’ve long established that he preys on vulnerable women and doesn’t care when his behavior is hurtful. That point gets driven home more when he says they have to play by his rules. However, to be fair, wanting Estelita to be a better artist isn’t really hurtful, which is why Stevie has been saying that he’s not working with her as fast as she’d like. But sleeping with her wasn’t a good look. But that’s what Stevie does and anyone who falls for it by now is either desperate, delusional, a fool or all of the above. via GIPHY Erica Mena and Estelita are palling around now that they’re back on good terms. First, they go to a vocal coaching session set up by Jazze Pha and they both sound terrible (both women can’t harmonize, can’t hear notes and are super flat). Thank goodness for technology. Auto-tune is not dead after all. Hear for yourself: Then they decide to meet up with Spice since she’s a successful artist and the boss of her own musical destiny! Spice basically asks Estelita why she would sign such a shady contract (a five year contract in this digital age of 360 deals) with a proven shady man. We all know the answer, though. Fame! Duh! Plus, again, Stevie preys on vulnerable women. via GIPHY And Estelita fits the bill. She had a rough life. It’s the usual messed up ish. She was a teen stripper who came to the US at 14 to escape sexual abuse. She’s the youngest of 20 siblings, she was raped by five men and says that her father sexually molested her as young as five-years-old, she tried to kill herself multiple times. via GIPHY Her mom wasn’t there for her because she died of cancer. Spice makes it clear that she didn’t go through all of that just to have some man take advantage of her so and offers to get her hooked up with a good lawyer. The episode hits a sad note too with Shooter’s son’s funeral. Sierra is still pissed off at Shooter with the news that he has a two-year-old, but she shows up for him after his 21-years-old son, Rod Jr, was shot (deep sigh). Sierra is crushed because the young man was like a son to her too. Since the murder, Shooter has been calling to check on how she has been doing but she hasn’t been able to really talk to him about how he’s doing because she’s still processing what happened herself, so talk of that two-year-old in question is off the table for now. Meanwhile, Rick Ross put Stevie J on to Just Brittany , another singer. She’s signed to MMG, but she’s looking for management and seems to, unfortunately, think that Stevie could be the one. She’s actually talented btw, Stevie recognizes this and mentions that they’re also going to do some music together. So, here we are at Just Brittany and Stevie’s rehearsal. Stevie hopes that Brittany’s presence will urge Estelita to work on herself as an artist. Coincidentally (but not really), Estelita and Erica pull up, thinking they’re going to check out Stevie’s new studio, and that Estelita was going to drop the lawyer news on Stevie hoping he’d change his tune. When they saw what was going on inside, it obviously didn’t go well. You know these chicks meltdown at any inkling that there could possibly be another female artist in the same space. via GIPHY We end up with Erica and Brittany going at it because Erica, you know, the “changed” woman, began trying to rip Brittany to shreds, talking about her looks, clothes, etc. Brittany didn’t back down, but Stevie shuts that verbal sparring session down, and Erica and Estelita leave. Estelita plans to move forward with getting out of the contract she never should have signed in the first place. She’ll be fine. She’ll run into another color-struck producer/manager type who could care last that she’s a mediocre artist as long as she’s pretty, lightskinned and Latina. Hopefully, she doesn’t allow herself to be taken advantage of again. Truth is, she probably needs therapy, and a voicebox transplant, first before thinking about pursuing a music career. Let’s do this again next week, shall we?

Georgia Woman Ambushed By Boyfriend, Shot 23 Times

Domestic violence is so prevalent that there were three cases this week, that’s if the SUV crash turns out to be intentional and if accusations against rapper Fabolous  are proven to be true. But a story out of Georgia is a particularly horrifying case even in the wake of such similar, prevalent crimes. Sherika Sharie”Redd” Bowman , a 34-year-old mother of five was shot to death in her own driveway, allegedly by her boyfriend, Keitren Foots, police say. Foots has been arrested. Reports say he may be the father of the youngest child. People.com reports: Bowman, who was originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, was a mother of five children, ages 16, 13, 5, 1 and 1 month old, according to a GoFundMe page created by family. “She is a great mother,” a relative told WRAL, adding that Bowman was working on a license to become a registered nurse. A family member wrote on her GoFundMe page that Bowman sought to “pursue the love in her career and most of all, provide even more for her children,” a family member writes on the page. “Redd has always been an independent and ambitious woman,” the relative continued. “She had a big, contagious smile and also enjoyed her talent in drawing.” Foots was arrested early Sunday morning in Granville County, North Carolina, after Georgia authorities used his cell phone to locate him. He  was found in a hotel parking lot , but when authorities arrived he allegedly fled the parking lot and headed north on Interstate 85, WFMY reports. After losing sight of Foots, authorities were able to ping his cell phone and track him to a shed near the border of Vance County, according to the station. He and Bowman lived together with her children , according to 11Alive News. Authorities said Bowman’s 13-year-old was inside the Stone Mountain home when the shooting occurred, and called 911. Foots is currently behind bars in Granville County, according to Granville County Detention Center officials.

Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane: The Marriage is Over!

After 14 years, two daughters and at least one well-publicized threesome, Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane have decided to end their marriage. Or Gayheart has decided to end her marriage, to be more specific. The actress filed for divorce from her long-time husband on Friday, with Dane confirming the split to People Magazine via the following statement: “After 14 years together we have decided that ending our marriage is the best decision for our family. “We will continue our friendship and work as a team to co-parent our two beautiful girls as they are the most important thing in the world to us. “We kindly ask that you respect our privacy during this time as we navigate the next phase of our lives.” Gayheart is reportedly seeking spousal support and joint legal and physical custody of their two daughters: seven-year Billie and six-year old Georgia, 6. She cited irreconcilable differences as the cause of divorce. Gayheart is best known for movies such as Jawbreaker and Scream 2 and for a role many years ago on Beverly Hills 90210. Dane rose to television fame as Mark “McSteamy” Sloan on Grey’s Anatomy, prior to being killed off in 2012 and then landing the lead role on TNT’s The Last Ship. He took a hiatus from the show last spring due to depression and other mental health issues , about six years after he also sought professional help for an addiction to painkillers. “I took some time off… I was dealing with some depression, which was kind of odd to me,” Dane explained on July 31 as a guest host on the Today Show. He added at the time: “I felt very conflicted about it because I didn’t really feel like I had anything to be depressed about… “Now I take a medication called Pristiq … and the depression is gone … I’m doing OK.” “It’s a very serious thing,” Dane continued. “But it’s very real, and that was the scary thing when you wake up and you’re like, ‘I don’t want to get out of bed’ … this just hit me like a truck. “I had to take some time off, I went away and took care of it and I’m feeling great.” In 2009, meanwhile, Dane and Gayheart made headlines after a sex tape leaked that featured the couple in some compromising positions with a third party. The 12-minute footage depicted a great deal of nudity, a lot of giggling and, we can only presume, a lot of drug use. The other member of the famous threesome was former Miss Teen USA Kari Ann Peniche. But anyway. We wish Dane and Gayheart well and hope they work out an amicable resolution for the sake of their kids. View Slideshow: 19 Most Stunning Splits in Celebrity History
