Stevie J is utterly ridiculous, but we can’t fault him for cashing in on his new-found reality-TV fame. The producer is looking into non-musical ventures including a guide for those handicapped in the area of physical intimacy.“We might make the lovemaking guide,” Stevie he told DJ Bootleg Kev. “We got the book coming, the t-shirts coming. We got the music coming,” he said.
The work will be an extension of the pure nonsense displayed throughout the first season of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, and is Stevie’ attempt at teaching those looking to follow in his footsteps. “It’s just the way player’s play, ” he continued. “A manual for the ladies, and a manual for the gentlemen, and my perspective on how to handle things.”
A self-proclaimed “good guy,” Stevie’s relationship with co-stars Joseline Hernandez and Mimi Faust helped push the VH1 reality show to popularity, but also opened the door for criticism. Domestic violence survivor, and advocate Sil Lai Abrams likened Stevie’s actions to that of an abuser. “Stevie J is a perfect example of how a man doesn’t have to put a finger on a woman in order to abuse her,” Abrams wrote in an editorial for TheGrio. “Chronic infidelity is a form of abuse, as is bullying, name calling, put downs, intimidation and repeated threats of abandonment.”
Stevie has yet to deny Abrams explosive claims.
