VH1 has posted the first episode of "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" and let's just say it does very little to present Black and Brown women in a positive light. The female characters come across as promiscuous, emotionally needed, and sometimes desperate. Not much different from the rest of VH1's shows--but this one is indeed the front runner in those departments.
First we meet Erica, who's the baby momma of Lil' Scrappy. Unfortunately, being his "baby momma" appears to be a very comfortable title for her. Watch and tell us if you agree.
Then we meet Mimi, the "girlfriend" of producer Stevie J. Mimi, who relies on Stevie for financial support, pretty much tells the camera that SHE KNOWS he is sleeping around with other women but she wants to "believe" him when he says he loves her and wants a family. So when he offers to buy her a house OUTSIDE of Atlanta so he can do his "thing" in the city.....she considers it. Deep sigh.
And then there's Joseline.....Stevie J's "artist" and ex-stripper. After revealing that she is sleeping with Stevie (mind you...he's ALSO sleeping with Mimi), she looks at the camera, touches her crotch and says that Stevie isn't just "f**king" her body, he's also "f**king" her brain. Did she want a round of applause for that or....?
Now here comes Mama D. Mama D is Lil' Scrappy's mother and she justifies her past as a pimp AND drug dealer because she had two babies depending on her.
K. Michelle comes along next and reveals that she was once managed by (and was also dating) Toya Wright's husband Memphitz. She completely puts him on blast revealing the rumors that he beat her are true AND he pretty much robbed her by spending her entire $2 million recording budget on gifts for himself!
And one last note.....it's hinted at the Mama D has a mental illness. Erica said Mama D was "crazy" during one scene then asked her had she taken her pills. Mama D says, "....not for five days."
Then there's a "sad" confrontation between Mimi, Joseline and Stevie D. And let's just say, Mimi is clearly not interested in playing the strong black woman role.
