L&HH Atlanta Cast Members Sign Waivers to Stop On-Set Fighting

Production sources tell us the ATL ladies and gents were forced to sign docs agreeing to put their manicured claws (and fists) away … after major advertisers started complaining. Show execs flew to Atlanta 2 weeks ago to lay down the law.

So I have this eye disease.. Blind in my left, and losing vision in my right. In order to prevent my eyesight from deteriorating, I had to do this surgery. This shit is beyond painful & Life be throwin’ a nigxa curve balls but what I’ve gained from it all is priceless… A lot of things that are so natural to us in life (like waking up and being able to see) we can take it for granted. Thank God the OG for allowing me to see.. The good the bad the ugly, I’m just glad to see.

The past year has been a rough one for August. Back in September, the Louisiana native was hospitalized after he collapsed during a performance in New York City.
