One of the stars of the VH1 show "Flavor of Love" was arrested in Georgia -- after cops say "Hotlanta" got violent in a mysterious incident involving a child.

Hotlanta -- aka 29-year-old Nicole Essigmann -- was arrested in Cobb County on January 30th on two counts of simple battery and one count of cruelty to children.

Essigmann -- listed at 5'4" and 130 lbs -- was in custody for one day before a company called "Bond James Bond" helped her front the $2,500 bond. HOTLANTA GIVE HER SIDE OF THE STORY

WELL HERE WE GO AGAIN…MEDIA..MEDIA…MEDIA.
I WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE NIGHTMARE THIS HAS CAUSED MY FAMILY AND I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO MY FANS.I FEEL LIKE TIGER WOODS…STAY AWAY FROM MY FAMILY…THATS THE TRUTH THOUGH. I WAS ARRESTED IN COBB COUNTY FOR TWO COUNTS OF SIMPLE BATTERY WITH HARM AND ONE COUNT OF CRUELTY TO CHILDREN IN THE 3RD DEGREE. I AM NOT ABLE TO RELEASE DETAILS DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS UNDER INVESTIGATION. I WILL SAY THAT I GOT INTO AN ALTERCATION WITH AN INDIVIDUAL DURING THE EXCHANGE OF MY YOUNGEST SON. I WAS WAITING OUTSIDE IN A VEHICLE WHILE MY MOTHER WENT INTO THE HOME INVITED TO GET MY SON. ME AND MY FATHER HEARD MY MOM SCREAMING WHEN SHE CAME OUT THE DOOR ONE INDIVIDUAL HAD AHOLD OF MY MOTHER AND THE OTHER HAD MY MOTHER IN A HEADLOCK. I DID WHAT ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL IN MY SHOES WOULD HAVE DONE…I DEFENDED MY MOTHER AND STOOD MY GROUND. IN GEORGIA WHEN A MINOR WITNESSES THE INCIDENT IT IS CONSIDERED CRUELTY TO CHILDREN IN THE 3RD DEGREE. I STILL BELIEVE THAT VIOLENCE IS NOT THE RESOLUTION TO CONFLICT, HOWEVER I WAS IN A SITUATION THAT I DID WHAT I HAD TO DO.DONT START NO WONT BE NO. THE SYSTEM HOWEVER IS SET TO WHERE YOU ARE GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT AND I WILL HAVE MY DAY IN COURT WHICH I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THIS ALL TAKEN CARE OF. I DONT DO DRAMA,IM A LOVER NOT A FIGHTER BUT WHEN IT COMES TO MY PAPER, MY FAMILY AND MY CHILDREN I DO NOT PLAY ANY GAMES. I AM HOTLANTA, I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO PUT ON FOR MY CITY,I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN MY COMMUNITY,I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO CHANGE LIVES AND CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR STRENGTH THROUGH THESE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS. ITS FUNNY HOW SOMEONES SUCCESS BRINGS PAIN SUMS UP THIS WHOLE SITUATION. MY BOYS I LIVE FOR EVERYDAY, I WOULD DIE FOR MY BOYS,I WOULD KILL FOR MY BOYS THAT DOESNT MAKE ME HOT-MESS HOTLANTA THAT MAKES ME A MOTHER.

TO ANYONE READING THIS THAT IS PLANNING ON BEING SUCCESSFUL EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE SACRAFICE OF KISSING FLAVA FLAV TO DO SO….ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND THAT ONCE YOU PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE, YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE PEOPLE IN YOUR BUISNESS, YOU WILL HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR PRIVACY AND YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE PEOPLE SAYING THINGS ABOUT YOU THAT DONT KNOW YOU…BRUSH EM OFF….LET YOUR HATERS BE YOUR MOTIVATORS AND PUT THAT MOTIVATION TOWARDS TURNING YOUR DREAMS INTO REALITY.

NY Court Says Flavor Flav Owes Over $63k in Back Child Support


Public Enemy hypeman turned reality TV star Flavor Flav (William Drayton, Jr.) will soon answer charges that he owes $63,458.00 in back child support to the mother of three of his children.

According to the Albany County Child Support Collection Division, Mary Parker originally had an agreement in place since 1996 that covered the former couple's two children at the time. However, Parker moved to have the agreement amended in July 2008 after the birth of a third child.

She was successful with an appeal last month, and a judge ordered Flavor Flav’s weekly payment of $117 increased to $837.72, along with requirements to cover private school tuition fees dating back to the original 2008 amendment filing.

Flav, who celebrates his 51st birthday next month, explained that he will contest the order on the grounds that he’s made payments to his children’s mother beyond the court decreed amount.

"The judgment is recent as I was just made aware of it," Flav stated to the NY Post. "I'll certainly be addressing it. However, I've made payments on my children's tuition, and have made direct payment to the mother outside of the court order."

Since finding success on several VH1 reality shows (Surreal Life, Strange Love, Flavor of Love) in the mid 2000s, Flavor Flav has been attacked by several family members for alleged financial abandonment.

In January 2009, a daughter accused him of bring a bad parent for reneging on a promise to pay for her final semester of college, and only seeing her one week out the year.

Karen Ross-Fortunate, another mother of three of Flav’s children, went public in stating the Public Enemy member did not financially support his children, in particular their eldest son’s college tuition expenses.

Flav has seven children, the last being a boy named Karma born in 2007.

At press time, Flavor Flav’s Albany County child support case does not have a court date.
