On Sunday, February 2nd, the CEO of my current internship emails me this invite to Love & Hip Hop Atlanta reality Tv stars Stevie J and Benzino’s restaurant/bar called Sleazy & Zino’s Bistro & Bar private grand opening Wednesday, February 5th to do coverage on the event. I’m not going to lie, the title of this place made me chuckle a bit 🙂

For some odd reason I did not RSVP for the event and I ALWAYS make sure to RSVP, now looking back it was a sign. Back tracking a little bit, I had RSVP to another event entitled Glambitious Empowerment Panel & Influence Mixer.

This event was scheduled for the end of January but due to the snow storm that left GA in terrible disarray, the event was pushed to Wed, February 5th; the same night as Sleazy & Zino’s private grand opening. The Glambitious event started at 7 pm and the red carpet for Sleazy & Zino’s was at 8 pm. My friend and photographer Jennifer; also known as Jeni Bella of bellaccoutureatl.com/ 😉 were displeased that we couldn’t attend both so we made a choice. I went to the Glambitious Panel Mixer because I was uncertain that I could attend Sleazy & Zino’s event. Jennifer and another writer for {C} Magazine attended Sleazy & Zino instead. My boss told me I could probably still go to Sleazy & Zino’s but I stayed at the Mixer since I had already parked in all.

Long story short, I DO NOT regret my decision. The Glambitious Empowerment Panel & Influence Mixer was a GREAT event! Meanwhile at Sleazy & Zino’s…….fights broke out! From Jennifer’s account, it took them FOREVER to get inside the venue due to VH1’s live taping of the show and once inside, Benzino’s current girlfriend starts fighting a random chick and it goes down hill from there. Jennifer and the other writer left the scene, which they affectionately call “Ratchet City.” lol! Don’t believe me? Here is footage of the nonsense from TMZ.

A mess if I do say so myself. I honestly watched 3 episodes of the first season and that was it for me. I felt my IQ dropping a few points every time this crap was on. Smh. The worst part is other attendees who had NOTHING to do with the craziness got hurt in the crossfire. Expect lawsuits to be filed very soon. Smh.
