Fans have been loving all of the drama that "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" newbie Tommie has been causing so far on season five, but they seem to be even more intrigued about all the craziness she's experienced in the past and in her life presently.
The reality newbie, whose real name is Latisha Jefferson, was at the epicenter of social media rumors after a few of her mug shots were released online.
Tommie hasn't been shy about her criminal past, and the model recently spilled the beans all about her troublesome past during an interview with VH1.
Check out the top 8 things we learned about Latisha, aka Tommie, from her interview below:
8. Not all of the mug shots that are online are real: "Some of them are, some of them ain't. I was dying laughing like, you just see question marks on that one mugshot. That b***h looked like she been drugged. Some of them s**ts is not even me," she explained. "Half the time I've been on probation without going to prison. Half the time I was put on probation, but I was still a bada**. I still would violate probation. I wouldn't do community service so guess that you get booked again and you got a whole new mugshot. People act like I'm just a real criminal out here. I'm not denying any of the s**t that I did, but that's not the life I live right now."
7. Jail almost caused her a miscarriage: "The jail treated me so bad. I almost lost my first daughter, and I was in jail for violating probation on drug charge her father had. And I didn't tell on him. So I went to f**king jail. I was only 17, and at 19 I was on probation. I had an evil probation officer."
6. All those car accidents she's mentioned were nearly fatal: "I was with my litter sister, Versace, who was 5 months pregnant. We were on our way back to Jersey, because we were still in school while she was pregnant. You know the trucks that have the CV 4 radio? So all the trucks were moving to the right. They were moving out of the lane. So, we're doing regular speed in the fast lane and bong! A truck had dropped something off one of their trucks. It was a big iron metal thing and we were like slipping. And she was like 7 months pregnant with my little sister and she almost lost her from that. We all almost died," Tommie recalled. "I been in hella car accidents. The recent mug shot in 2014 was from a car accident I was in by myself in an Audi. I ran a stop sign but people were speeding and drunk on Ocean Drive in Miami. The reason why I got arrested, though, was because it was a hit and run. I got out and I just ran. I knew I was drinking so I said, 'Let me get the f**k up out of here.'"
5. Drama follows her everywhere: "It's non-stop drama. That's why I don't understand. These people make up all these stories and shit. B***h I'm tryna run away from stories. I just want to live a calm life. That's what I really want."
4. Tommie is her nickname: "My real name is Latisha Jefferson. Tommie is my actual stage name. It was the nickname that I was called as a kid for being a tomboy. They called me Tommie or Tomboy so yea, that's my stage name."
3. She has two daughters, but she takes care of her family: "I have two daughters. One is 12 and the other is 9," she explained. "My two daughters live with me. I don't have a teenage daughter. I have a teenage little sister and a next door neighbor that I also take care of. Her mother passed. I love the kids."
2. She's all about her business: "Oh I do Tommie s**t, baby, I'm an entrepreneur. Right now I'm working with multiple sources of income. I put up money for shows. We just booked Future in the Bay. So I put in a lot of money with my promoter friend and that's what we do. We split everything down the middle," she explained. "We have houses and s***t around here that we own and we fix up to help college students out and stuff like that, kinda like a dorm. We have like five houses right now in the city of Atlanta. A lot of people that go to Clark [University] and Morehouse stay there. It's fully furnished. You move in and you just pay your half of your room. It's been going real good. Then I started taking more money and flipping it again with him on the promoting side of things and getting these artists."
1. She's focusing on nothing but positivity now: "Right now social media is eating me up. It's kinda like a weight off my shoulders so I can go on to positive s**t so I can go on and change me life. There's no turning back now."
