- Walking into booking and they're
taking my fingerprints and everything,
and all I'm thinking about is, "Okay like...
I wanna look okay for my mugshot."
(typing)
(pulsing music)
- Hello, my name is Althea Heart
and I was famously arrested.
You may know me from Love and Hip Hop.
I wanna go to Althea Beach, the place
I was looking at the other day, Althea Beach.
It was in Italy.
- You wanna go to Greece, it's in Greece.
- Yeah, okay, I want-
- [Man] You wanna go to Greece?
- Yeah, wherever it is.
- [Althea] But also foolish, unpredictable.
Take this money, get this money.
(cash register rings)
(crickets chirp)
- Yeah.
- We wrote about Althea Heart on thejasminebrand.com.
I think people are interested in her story.
That fact that her and Benzino are on and off.
- She had a baby by that guy.
That guy.
- The last time I heard about Althea was when
Joslyn and Stevie J. ran up on her and Benzino.
Couple goals.
We can't fight together, we can't fuck together.
(all yelling)
- The last time I heard of her she was getting two pieced.
- Double L's, like, L's everywhere.
- Get the (beep) off. (all yelling)
- Yes, my face has been on the screen for a long time.
I was famously arrested for smacking a (beep) ex.
- She got in trouble for beating up her man I think.
Don't you have to fight to get a contract?
- The day that I got arrested,
it was a typical day, you know?
Going to do yoga, going to pick up my flowers
from the market, walking my dog.
And then I answered the phone from my ex
and then (beep) just went crazy.
He ended up at my house, we started arguing,
and I decided to call 911.
(laughs) Just a mess. (sirens sound)
Just a mess.
So after I call the police, we were still arguing,
and he said something that just ticked me off
and then I just smack the (beep).
(smacks face)
Forgetting that the police was even there,
like I just went blank.
- Like in front of the cop!
Yo, she got balls!
- I mean they ran through the (beep) door
with the SWATs, the tear gas, and everything.
So I'm in the cop car and the cop is like
asking me questions like "Where are you from?"
"What do you do?"
(sighs) Asking me about my ex, and I'm like,
"Don't ask me about him. This is about me."
Like, when is it ever about me?
I'm in this car about to be locked up,
I'm in handcuffs.
So don't ask me about him.
I had no makeup on, okay?
I was literally just chilling, in my house,
so I didn't look like this.
And sure enough, the story ended up all over TMZ.
(funky music) (camera flashes)
- The first thing I thought was,
"Her mug shot looks good! She looks really cute!"
We actually broke the story that she got arrested.
It got us a lot of clicks.
- They had a lot of craziness before that.
There was a video that surfaced,
it was all over The Shade Room, TMZ,
he was actually like begging and pleading
for all the sorries in America,
y'all know how it is when like they do you so wrong
and they try to show the world they doing right.
She wasn't buying it.
- My ex bonded me out though.
It's good with that, I was in there for six hours or less.
- I mean she wasn't in like long enough
to get a tattoo teardrop or nothing, so.
- I'm thinking that he's about to pick me up,
you know, in this lavish car, with the extravagant flowers
or whatever, and it was the bill bondsman.
- (laughs) I can't.
I can't, I can't.
- You know, it was definitely a learning experience.
I don't wish Gel on anybody, you know.
Gel is not for somebody like this, you know?
All of this.
- Althea's kind of fabulous, honey.
She probably was like, "I am gonna need
my soap carved in a different shape."
- When Althea hit the block, I'm pretty sure
that she was getting peeped out.
- Althea's cellmates were probably, maybe,
a little bit surprised that she was in there
with them, but she has done reality TV,
so we know that she is about that life.
So they probably weren't that surprised.
- When she hit the compound, they were probably
very enamored and offering to do her hair and stuff.
- She need to stay out of jail also because
she might get laid low and spread out wide too
'cause she's cute.
- Actually some of the girls that I met,
they actually still write me.
I sent them a couple dollars.
You just never know when you need a friend.
It's hard out here.
- Althea, Althea, Althea,
what do I see in Althea, baby girl?
Let's let the cards tell us.
You get baited very easily.
You have to stay chill, you just have to.
There is a high potential for you to be
(taps hands) back in jail.
- Ohm, and, yoga.
- Just keep moving on girl, keep pushing.
- Center yourself.
Pray about it.
Do the opposite of what you been doing,
because what you been doing have not been working.
- My best advice to any celebrity that ends up
having a bad day and getting arrested,
I would say, you know, if you wear a wig,
a lace, and all that stuff, make sure it's detachable,
because you cannot have fake hair in jail.
When you do your mugshot you try to have a beat face,
make sure you have your shades on when you come
out of jail so TMZ doesn't get you looking crazy.
- I don't think that Althea's career was really
affected by the fact that she was arrested.
I feel like like it may have
made her a bit more interesting.
(crickets chirping)
- No I'm deadass, what was the career?
Like, Love and Hip Hop?
- So currently I have a song called
Beautiful Mess, perfect.
("Beautiful Mess" by Althea Heart)
- It's my life right now, like I'm really
trying to figure it out, it's really hard.
You know, being attached to another person
who has a lot of influence, and, you know,
just trying to find your own way.
I think a lot of people think that I'm one thing
and I'm totally the opposite of
what everyone thinks about me.
("Beautiful Mess" by Althea Heart)
- So I don't know what the future holds between me
and my ex, it's out of my control.
I didn't choose this life, the life chose me.
Stay tuned.
You never know with us.
