On "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta," Joseline Hernandez and Stevie J seem more like cartoon characters than actual human beings. Stevie J exudes an air of oily confidence and charm. Joseline conveys an aggressive yet fragile confidence covering up major insecurities and jealousies. They are a major reason why the show has been a hit since 2012 and why they are even getting their own spinoff that debuts January 25 at 9 p.m.
In the spinoff, where they go to Hollywood, Stevie J works on his producing career and she continues with her music and acting efforts. And as usual, they bicker over money and career control.
How are they off camera? Do they act as ridiculous as they do on screen? How different are they in real life? It's hard to differentiate.
Over the years, TMZ chronicles their gossip-driven lives and the two sides know they get a big audience as a result.
Conveniently, less than two weeks before the spinoff debuts, TMZ reports that Joseline supposedly trashed Stevie J's stuff, jealous that he was working in the studio with Faith Evans.
Stevie J told TMZ she ruined $65,000 worth of his stuff using bleach, including a $10,000 Bad Boy jacket Diddy gave him.
Then shocker! She Saturday went ahead and denied it.
