Tommie Lee arrested in Miami Beach – NBC 6 South Florida

Reality TV star Tommie Lee was arrested in Miami Beach early Monday morning after police responded to a disturbance at a popular nightclub.

The incident at Club LIV involved Atasha Jefferson, Lee’s real name, who was arrested for assault.

Jefferson, a cast member on the reality TV show “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,” approached a man and tried to give him something, according to the arrest report. After the victim refused her offer, Jefferson allegedly became aggressive, cursed and threatened to have him killed.

Although the victim ignored her, Jefferson’s aggression escalated. According to the police report, she waved her hands and eventually punched the victim in the face. In response, the victim held her down until police arrived.

Surveillance camera footage showed Jefferson nudging the victim, and a witness confirmed the incident.

Jefferson was taken to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Facility for processing.
