TMZ: 'Love & Hip Hop Atlanta' cast member slashed, claims hit
A secondary character on VH1's "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta" was slashed at a club earlier this month and believes it was a hit placed by a jealous castmate.
TMZ reports that Erica Pinkett, who has spent this season flirting (but not allegedly sleeping with) Lil Scrappy, was at Taboo nightclub June 9 when a woman hit her from behind, threw her to the ground and slashed her arm.
She told the cops, with no proof, that Bambi Johnson, who had been dating Scrappy, placed the "hit" on her.
According to TMZ, Stephanie Nicole Harp was arrested this morning for committing aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
On the show, Scrappy told Erica about Bambi losing his baby in a miscarriage. When Erica brought it up to Bambi in a sympathetic manner, Bambi was insulted. How did someone she never met before know about something so personal? So instead of attacking Scrappy, who was providing that information to Erica, she went after Erica in a classic LAHHA fight that was over in a blink.
Later, when Scrappy's mom Mama Dee, tried to make peace between the two women, Erica attacked Bambi. The security folks broke that up pretty quickly but there was no love lost between the two women.
