Ms. Juicy Arrested in Georgia on Driving Charges

The ‘Little Women: Atlanta’ star was taken into custody in Winder, Georgia and later released on bond.

Ms. Juicy is back in the headlines, and this time it is because of an arrest in Georgia. 

Shirlene King-Pearson, known to fans as Ms. Juicy from “Little Women: Atlanta,” was arrested in Winder, Georgia, and later released on bond, according to a spokesperson for the Barrow County Sheriff’s Department. 

Authorities said the 54-year-old reality star was taken into custody on charges of allegedly driving with a suspended license and without insurance. The Barrow County Sheriff's Office confirmed that she made bail, but did not share the dollar amount. 

Ms. Juicy has been one of the standout personalities from “Little Women: Atlanta,” which aired from 2016 to 2021 and made her a familiar face in reality TV and radio circles. Before the show, she also worked on the “Rickey Smiley Morning Show” until 2019, helping build the sharp, funny public persona fans have come to know over the years.

The arrest comes after a difficult few years for King-Pearson personally. People noted that she previously experienced a stroke in 2022, which led to an ICU stay and a long recovery at home. 

"Ms Juicy is a very private person and wants everyone to know she is fighting and ready to go home," her reps said in a statement. "She wants to thank her fans for showing so much love and keeping her in their prayers." 

At the moment, no public response from King-Pearson or her team has been reported. For now, the story is centered on the arrest itself, the bond release, and the latest chapter in the public life of a reality star who has always kept people talking.
