‘Little Women: Atlanta’ star Shirlene ‘Ms. Juicy’ King-Pearson arrested in Georgia
“Little Women: Atlanta” star Ms. Juicy was arrested in Georgia last week after allegedly driving with a suspended license and no insurance, according to reports.
The 54-year-old reality star, whose real name is Shirlene King-Pearson, was hauled into custody and hit with the driving-related offenses on April 18 in Winder, according to the Barrow County Sheriff’s Department, TMZ reported.
Police said King-Pearson, a talent manager and radio personality, was cuffed with her wrists in front of her body due to her small stature, with officers double-locking the restraints.
She was released from lockup the following day after posting bond, though the amount wasn’t specified, People reported.
Cops have not released additional details, and the former Lifetime star has not spoken about the arrest.
King-Pearson could not immediately be reached for comment.
King-Pearson first appeared on “Little Women: Atlanta” as a guest star when it premiered in 2016, quickly scoring a full-time spot by the second season, and remained a fan favorite until the series ended in 2021.
“I love this show because it teaches and informs people about who little people are,” she said in an interview in 2019.
“We can do everything average height people can do because we are not different; we are just different in size. We have to live our lives like everybody else, and it shows that we go through the same things and the same struggles as everyone else.”
King-Pearson also spent 14 years as a host on “The Rickey Smiley Morning Show” before exiting in 2019 over a contract dispute.
In April 2022, she suffered a stroke that landed her in the ICU.
King-Pearson later revealed she endured a terrifying “brain bleed” that left her battling major motor and cognitive issues. A GoFundMe was then launched to help cover her medical costs.
Since her arrest earlier this month, the TV personality has been aggressively plugging her Cameo to her more than 669,000 Instagram followers, urging fans to “hit me up” for personalized videos and messages.
“Everybody Loves the Juice sooo get them a Cameo from me,” she captioned one video posted Sunday.
“It’s that simple!!”
