Joseline Hernandez has served as a real lightening rod for trouble and the producers of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta seem to really love that about her. However, her behavior during the last reunion show was extreme, even for her. The entire cast sat on the stage all but begging VH1 to fire her after she and her equally messy man, Stevie J, were both escorted from the premises by security. Many thought that she would be fired and while producers weren't about to let their biggest start slip through their fingers, she has had her wrist slapped.
According to a source for MediaTakeOut, Hernandez will be returning next season, but it will be after a four-episode suspension. Not only will she sit out filming the first four episodes but she also won't be paid for them regardless of what her contract may have otherwise stated. If you caught the last reunion then you saw Hernandez get up and physically attack several cast members. Althea Eaton filed charges against Hernandez and there is currently a warrant out in New York for her arrest because of punching Eaton, a move that was caught on film.
Obviously the producers wanted to send a clear message that violence is neither supported or tolerated by them. The thing is, a suspension or arrest warrant isn't likely to make Hernandez change her ways. She's the first to admit that she likes to go after other women whenever she feels like it so this proverbial slap on the wrist is unlikely to phase her very much.
While Hernandez is integral to the show, were the producers right to suspend her for a few episodes? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
