Tommie Lee has been arrested and charged with a felony after allegedly sneaking into England’s World Cup quarter-final match in Miami without a ticket, per hiphophero.com.
The Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta star was one of six people detained at the Hard Rock Stadium on July 11. Miami-Dade police reports state that the American rapper entered the venue through a southeast gate and successfully accessed a 100-level seating area despite not having a valid ticket.
Lee was charged with interference with a sporting or entertainment event, which constitutes a third-degree felony under Florida law. She pleaded not guilty and was released from the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on July 12 after posting a $1,000 bond.
Writing on Instagram to her 5.3 million followers, Lee denied the allegations. She claimed she had been provided with a stadium escort and blamed the arrest on a police officer’s ego, calling the official allegations a false narrative.
The incident occurred during England’s 2-1 extra-time victory over Norway. England will now face Argentina in the tournament’s semi-final in Atlanta on July 15, with the final scheduled for July 19.
