Reality television personality Tommie Lee has been arrested after allegedly entering a FIFA World Cup quarter-final match in Miami without a valid ticket.
Lee, whose legal name is Atasha Jefferson, was taken into custody during Saturday’s match between England and Norway at Hard Rock Stadium, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities allege the 42-year-old entered the stadium through a restricted area before making her way to the 100-level seating section despite not having a ticket.
She was arrested inside the venue and charged with interference with a sporting or entertainment event, a third-degree felony under Florida law.
According to court records, Lee has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
CBS Miami reported that she was released from custody the following day after posting a US$1,000 bond.
The incident occurred during one of the busiest fixtures of the FIFA World Cup, with more than 65,000 supporters attending England’s 2-1 victory over Norway.
Miami-Dade authorities said six people were arrested during the match, while another 19 spectators were ejected from the stadium for separate incidents.
Lee has not publicly commented on the allegations, and reports indicate she declined to respond when approached by media outlets.
The latest arrest adds to a lengthy legal history for the reality television star.
She has previously faced legal issues involving battery allegations, probation violations, DUI-related matters and a widely reported 2018 case involving one of her daughters, which resulted in a guilty plea.
In 2024, Lee was also arrested on a battery charge following an alleged altercation at LIV Nightclub in Miami Beach.
Best known for her appearances on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, Lee later joined the Zeus Network reality series Baddies, where she continued to build a large social media following.
In recent weeks, she had also attracted attention online after appearing in a series of flirtatious social media videos with Julez Smith, the 21-year-old son of Solange Knowles and nephew of Beyoncé, sparking widespread speculation about their relationship.
Authorities have not released any further details about the ongoing case.
