Tommie Lee refuses to stay out of trouble with the law. The Love & Hip Hop alum, real name Atasha Jefferson, was arrested on a battery charge in Miami Beach after police officers responded to a disturbance at a popular nightclub, as NBC 6 South Florida reports. She was arrested at Club LIV shortly after 2 a.m., the arrest report noted. Lee reportedly approached a man attempting to hand him something. When he rejected her offer, she allegedly became aggressive, cursing and threatening to have him killed, the arrest record notes.

The victim seemingly ignored her, but Lee grew more aggressive. The report notes she waved her hands and eventually poked the victim in the face. He restrained her until police arrived to protect himself from further physical harm. Security footage showed Lee poking the victim. A witness also reported the incident. Lee, 39, was taken into custody.

Lee has been in trouble with the law before. In 2018, she was reportedly arrested twice in 24 hours" the first time for alleged assault and child cruelty – the following day, she was arrested again for contacting her daughter despite legally being forbidden from doing so.
