After all of the drama on Season 7 of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, the cast’s trip turned out be to Silver Spur Ranch, a dude ranch in Bandera, Texas. Although it was a funny location for all of the show’s drama, it’s a great spot for family vacation. The cast had experiences riding horses, watching a shooting demonstration, and eating authentic homemade Western-style meals. Did you see Karlie, Joc, and Rasheeda on the wagon filled with hay? That’s how guests travel from the lodge to Silver Spur  Ranch’s on-site restaurant. Either they travel by horse or by wagon.

It looked like the cast were roughing it on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, but Silver Spur Ranch has upscale touches like  a junior Olympic-sized swimming pool, playground,  a healing room with aromatherapy, an infrared sauna, and other luxurious goodies.

Rasheeda arranged for the group to relax at a bonfire. This turned out to be a bad idea, because most of the group was arguing.  Bon fires are created routinely at the ranch for guests. Fossil digging and old-fashioned barbecues are also among the list of activities at the Silver Spur Ranch.

Top Dude Ranches

The Silver Spur Ranch is just one example of a dude ranch that is not quite-so rustic. Here are some other ranches where you can ride on horseback, chow-down and camp in style.

The Resort Paws Up in Montana has tents that can put some hotel rooms to shame. The tent pictured above has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The resort also offers luxurious cabins in natural surroundings.

The Ranch at Rock Creek, also in Montana, has rooms that looks the the one above. Yes. This is a tent, but the ranch even have 5-bedroom homes for luxurious retreats.

The name says it all. The C Lazy U Ranch in Colorado is yet another dude ranch for glampers who want a more luxurious camping experience.

Tanque Verde in Arizona is a dude ranch with a spa. You can’t go wrong with that. Marketing itself as one of the most luxurious ranches, it fits the bill as a family getaway, because it has children’s programs.

The Secrets Wild Orchid Montego Bay in Jamaica provided the exotic filming location for the Love and Hip Hop Atlanta cast in Season 6 Episode 12. See the pictures below of where the cast stayed at the Secrets resort in Jamaica. Yes. There was the typical negative drama while the crew stayed at the resort. Yung Joc showed up with Treasure, trying to make Karlie Redd jealous. Then Treasure had something to say about Rasheeda’s relationship woes, which made everyone angry. We all love Rasheeda Frost. So, WHAM, Jessica Dime took a swing at Treasure to silence her, right there at Secrets Wild Orchid, which is a four diamond establishment, by the way.

We saw Karlie Redd turn it up at one of Spice’s shows. Rasheeda had a heart to heart talk with (again) with Kirk Frost, but this time he agreed to get the DNA test that would tell if he’s Jasmine’s baby daddy. The group went on a yacht ride, where Jessica Dime’s boyfriend joined them. Waka, Kirk and Yung Jock had already crashed the girls’ only weekend, of course.

But the biggest surprise was when Jessica’s love, NBA Player, Shawne Williams proposed to her in Jamaica. As far as the drama on the show is concerned, we didn’t even know that they were headed in that direction! Wow, the secret was revealed at Secrets, wasn’t it?

If you watched the first episode of  Love and Hip Hop Atlanta in Jamaica, you saw a commercial for a contest to win a trip to Secrets Wild Orchid in Montego Bay (THE CONTEST HAS ENDED). Even if you are not the lucky winner of a trip for two to Montego Bay, you can plan your own trip to Jamaica and have a wild time like the cast of LHH Atlanta at Secrets Wild Orchid.

Secrets Wild Orchid is an adults-only all inclusive resort with another resort, Secrets St. James, right next door. Food, beverages, 24-hour concierge and room service, a slew of daytime activities and nightly parties, a mini bar, that’s restocked daily, pool and beach wait service, and Wi-Fi are included in your stay at the resort.

Accommodations at the Secrets Wild Orchid Montego Bay

The luxurious accommodations are what sets this inclusive resort apart from some of the others. All of the suites have a whirlpool tub, either a king-sized bed or two queen beds, a balcony, and of course that free mini bar, the one that’s restocked daily. For even more luxury, the preferred club master’s suite and the preferred club presidential suite have their own Jacuzzis for two or four people (and the rooms are much larger than the traditional suites).

A baby girl has been added to the Joseline Hernandez bio. In her Special Delivery show, Joseline met with Mimi and Shante event planners and marketing experts at Eyelash Vizion Marketing & Brand Agency. They met up at Sufi’s to plan Joseline’s baby shower. Her idea for the baby shower consisted of people swinging from the ceiling and plenty of strippers.

She wanted it all for Bonnie Bella.

Joseline and her brother Kermit, met at up Baby Bella boutique, a baby store in Atlanta. She was shopping with her brother, Kermie, who is 20 years old with a girlfriend who is 6 months pregnant. Joseline explained to him that she wanted him to be a responsible father for his baby on the way.

Joseline had been supporting her family in the past, financially, since she was about 16 years old. Whenever they needed something, Joseline would try to help them. She had also been helping her brother financially. She’d help pay for his classes and other things that he needed.

Next the show introduced Tomecas, her doula and Joseline was concerned about being a good mother.
Then the cameras followed her to the gym where 8 month pregnant Joseline, worked out. A fitness buff, Joseline said that she was going to work out until she wasn’t able to work out any more. She talked about having being intimate with with Niki Baby from Love and Hip Hop Hollywood. The two of them sometimes hook up. During an intimate moment, Joseline invited Niki to be the guest of honor for her Baby Shower.

Next, was the big reveal of Joseline’s baby shower plans. Shante arranged the dancers, the ballet dancers. Joseline didn’t like the ballet dancers, but she got used to the idea. Mimi arranged the strippers. The cake artist was Cherie Robinson from Iced Out Cakes. Joseline wanted a cake with a giving birth to a baby. Cherie, a cake artist, who raps told Joseline that her wish was her command. So, Joseline had this unique cake at her baby shower, along with other bedazzled jeweled cakes.

Joseline’s baby shower was no ordinary shower. Young Dro and Mariah Lynn were among the performers at the shower. Aside from the performers, strippers (and even the ballet dancers) entertained the crowd, but there were no traditional baby shower games at this party.

Joseline Hernandez Bio

Joseline Hernandez a star Love & Hip Hop fame was born with the name Shenellica Bettencourt. She lived in Puerto Rico during part of her  childhood, and is sometimes identified  as the Puerto Rican Princess. Joseline and her family moved to  Miami when she was very young.  She has worked as a stripper, and on Love & Hip Hop she revealed that she had been working since she was 16, and that she had a tough childhood.  She has four brothers, Jorge, Hisael, Kermit and Luis Jr., and a sister, Yanira.  Joseline was arrested twice, for lewd and lascivious behavior.

She first appeared on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta in 2012 for the premiere episode. She was introduced on the show as Stevie J’s protege, an aspiring singer who Stevie was working with. Stevie J. was depicted as having a relationship with Mimi Faust, the mother of his daughter Eva. It turned out that he was also seeing Joseline (although they both denied it).

The storyline include a pregnancy scare on Joseline’s part and Mimi’s struggle revelation that Joseline and Steve were a full-fledged couple. Stevie J and Joseline eventually moved in together on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, and in subsequent episodes, they said that they had gotten married. On a reunion show, they did not present a marriage license as requested, causing viewers to doubt that they were legally married. During a nasty break-up, Stevie J. said that they were never married.

The Joseline Hernandez bio continues with the birth of her and Stevie J’s baby, Bonnie Bella Jordan. Her baby was born on December 28, 2016. Dramatic episodes of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta revealed that Stevie J. is Bonnie’s biological father. There had been some questions on Stevie J’s part since he and Joseline were not in a relationship at the time.

On Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, Season 6, Episode 8, Tommie’s mother showed up at the wine tasting event. Her mother had been in Las Vegas and was happy to see Tommie. Tommie was happy to see her, too.

Meanwhile, Joseline tried to put together some baby furniture, solo. “I should be laying around, getting massages on my back and massages on my feet,” she said.

Scrappy has dyed his hair blond and he met up with Rasheeda to catch up. He says that the wedding has been canceled. They just couldn’t make it work and Scrappy felt that if Rasheeda and Kirk couldn’t make it, he and Bambi didn’t have a chance. Scrappy told Rasheeda about the conversation about the baby when he got together with the guys.

Joc had a picture of the baby and told Scrappy he had sex with the girl, too. Kirk kept saying that he didn’t have anything to do with the baby.

Rasheeda shared that she wasn’t sure if she was going to proceed with the divorce. She said she didn’t want to break up the family, but she wasn’t sure if Kirk could make it feel any better. They hadn’t been communicating, only texting. Rasheeda told The Real that Kirk and her are separated.

At Boneheads, Karlie met up with Sina. She thought things was going well with her and Joc. She had her issues with Miss Piggy Kadea and Sina, but now she and Sina were friendly. Karlie mentioned that Rod brought up Sina’s name, said that they had been seeing each other. Sina said it was a lie, and she told her how she lied to Joc, because she was upset that Joc might have slept with Jasmine.

Sina told Karlie that Tommie and Joc had been dating.  Karlie was annoyed that Joc wasn’t being completely honest with her, and that Tommie only wanted revenge.

Melissa and Mimi

Mimi went to visit Melissa. She was upset that Melissa tried to recruit people to be in Joseline’s photo shoot, but Melissa explained that Joseline was in a completely different state of mind and was doing a women empowerment video. Mimi was mad that Melissa was always defending Joseline and Joseline had befriended her because she had no friends. Melissa had been friends for her for five years.

“Mimi, you can’t judge me based on other people’s actions,” Melissa said. “I’m so sorry you’ve had those experiences, and I’m so sorry that you’ve met those kinds of people.”

Mimi said that she had heard that she should stay away from Melissa from Ariane. Then Melissa busted out by saying that Ariane was jealous, because Melissa liked Mimi (and Ariane and Melissa used to hook up in the past).

Scrappy and Kirk

At the Smoke Ring in Castleberry Hill, Scrappy met up with Kirk, who said that he felt that he messed with other woman because he thought that the relationship with Rasheeda was over. He felt that Rasheeda worked too much and was not giving him enough love and attention. He felt that he knew that he was not the father of the baby, so he didn’t have to take a DNA test.

At Boogalou, Melissa and Ariane had a talk. Ariane wanted to know why Melissa told Mimi that they had a fling back in the day 20 years ago. Ariane said that she felt that Melissa was pushing up on Mimi, but she didn’t know before, but Ariane said that she wasn’t sure. Melissa was mad that Ariane warned Mimi about her. Ariane walked out when Melissa asked her if they were friends or associates or what. So, apparently they are not friendly towards each other anymore.

Stevie J Has a New Baby

Mimi went to Stevie J’s house where she found out that he is really the daddy. Mimi insited that Stevie not allow Eva around Joseline. If Stevie can’t keep Joseline away from Joseline, she was going to put a restraining order on Joseline. Joseline put Mimi through a lot, and Mimi didn’t want Joseline anywhere near her daughter.

At the Ivory, Yung Joc did a stand-up comedy routine. Scrappy came. Tommie was there and brought lovely Mimi along. Tommie wanted to support Joc since they were “friends”. Then Karlie showed up with Sina. Tommie went in, calling Karlie a THOT. Shortly afterwards, there was a drink thrown and threats.

Scrapp De Leon was taken into custody in this week’s episode of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, on 8 p.m. on June 20, 2016 on VH1.  He was sentenced to 20 years, with five years spent in prison, and he would be given probation for the remaining 15 years.

Stevie J. admitted that Scrapp’s situation demonstrated the importance of spending time with his family, and he was happy to be able to spend even more time with his own young daughter. It was convenient to see her since he was staying at his baby’s mother’s home. Mimi vowed to find out if Stevie really had another baby that he’d been hiding, as Joseline Hernandez had told her. Joseline was in tears during the last episode, because she said that Stevie had not one, but two babies from hook-ups he’d had with other women.

Mimi Faust did some research and found out that the woman claimed she had Stevie J’s baby was called Promise B. Mae, and she lives in North Carolina, so Mimi proposed that Stevie and her take a road trip there.

Meanwhile, Momma D. wanted to set up Betty Idol with Scrappy. She thought that Betty Idol would be a good woman for her son, but then Momma D. found out that Scrappy and Betty were not working together anymore, and she wanted to know why. The two were going to work on some music together, and it was no secret that Scrappy was attracted to Betty. But, it was the altercation  she had with Tammy Rivera and the conversation that Scrappy (and threat) the Scrappy had with his ex-girlfriend Bambi that got Betty in hot water with Scrappy.

And then Scrappy also posted a ranting video his social network saying that if a social media profile didn’t have baby pictures, the person was probably man with a penis with a wig on. This rubbed Betty the wrong way, because one of her best friends D. Smith is transgender. Momma D. was taken aback, because she said that she didn’t raise Scrappy to judge people like that.

Stevie and Mimi took that road trip to North Carolina. She needed to find out the truth. Mimi never put Stevie on child support, because she always took care of things. Stevie admitted that him and Joseline were not even speaking.

The woman who claimed that she had Stevie’s baby admitted that she lied and  there was no child. Promise B. Mae also said that Joseline never even talked to her. Promise B. Mae said that she lied to get attention. She wanted the attention to get her big break. Then she had the nerve to mention that Kim Kardashian and Mimi Faust had sex tapes that help them get attention. Before they left, Stevie told that woman to never contact him again.

Joseline and Dawn met up together, and Joseline laughed about how she spread lies about Stevie. It was all a ploy to get Mimi to take Stevie to court for child support. Joseline knew that Mimi never took Stevie through the court system to get child support , and she figured that if she told Mimi that Stevie had other babies and their mothers were asking for child support, Mimi would ask for child support, too.

Scrappy and Bobby V. performed their song Sucka for Love at the Liquid Lounge. D. Smith joined Betty Idol at the performance. D. Smith went because of the strength of her friendship with Betty, but she was angry at Scrappy for what he’d said about transgender people.

Betty and Scrappy were supposed to be talking about her career. Scrappy was willing to work with her again, so he was happy to see Betty at his show, but D. Smith wanted to know why Scrappy posted that video.

Finally, Zeal Kitchen was where Rasheeda and Mimi sat down to chat. Rasheeda wanted to know why Mimi allowed Stevie to move in with her. Mimi explained that there were no Stevie J. babies and that Joseline was just telling lies.

Zeal Kitchen is where Mimi and Rasheeda met for a talk about what had been going on with Stevie J., Joseline and her.  Zeal Kitchen is a modern restaurant and bar, located in Marietta, Georgia, which is in the metro Atlanta area. On the menu are the  Snake River Falls Wagyu  Burger,  Strawberry Salad, Georgia Fried Chicken, and Jumbo Sea Scallops. Meatless and gluten free options are available.
