For those of you who think that Love & Hip Hop Atlanta‘s Puerto Rican Princess is the ratchet chick that was showcased for sometime on VH1, just know that Joseline Hernandez is very sad that you feel that way about her.
In a sitdown interview with Essence, Joseline shed a few tears and her voice got shaky and trembly as she tried to explain her violent, manipulative, vengeful behavior that we all witnessed on TV for the last 5 years wasn’t a true reflection of who she is. Or at the very least, it’s an old skin that she has shed like a snake and refuses to put back on for VH1 and Mona Scott-Young.
“The real Joseline that you seen then, it’s who I was at this point and who I am now is who I am at this point and I think I’m gonna change again, the older that I get to even be a better woman,” said Joseline.
In a way, this is admirable. Joseline realizing that her previous behavior and attitudes were toxic and unhealthy.
“I feel like a lot of people judge before they even get to know people,” said Joseline.
“What I don’t get is how many people see the wrong things, but they don’t never see the good things that you do,” she added, as her voice broke.
Five years from now, Joseline says she sees herself performing at the Latin Grammys and doing more TV, just not necessarily LHHATL.
It’s not clear at this point if Joseline could really crack the Latin market one of these days. She’s been pushing her music on iTunes and through reality TV for about five years now, and she’s never been within striking distance of the Billboard Hot 100 or the Latin Billboard Charts.
I personally haven’t been a fan on many of the Joseline tracks I’ve heard. But, I wills say there were one or two which happened to find it’s way in my iTunes. Joseline has an undeniable energy, spark, and look. I think with the right team behind her and a little rebranding, the future is bright for the Puerto rican princess.
