Allegations of felony sexual abuse found a celebrity self-described as a “Transgender Bad Girl” being arrested at a Georgia hotel, in an example of the “thing they say never happens …”
Those who bandy about terms like inclusion have never managed to provide an explanation as to how things like “Drag Queen Story Hour” and wanton displays of deviancy in public forums like parades and parks are not simply acts of grooming. Now a man going by the name Sidney Starr, who has appeared on programs like “Love & Hip-Hop: New York” and “Baddies ATL,” has been arrested for alleged sexual battery of a child less than 16-years-old.
According to the Hapeville Police Department, the alleged suspect, born Stephen Favors before he legally changed his name to Sidney Favors, was arrested Sunday after authorities were prompted to investigate an incident said to have occurred at the Embassy Suites near the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
“As a result of the investigation, Sidney Favors, a reality television celebrity, was arrested and charged with multiple felony offenses related to an alleged sexual assault involving a juvenile. Favors was transported to the Fulton County Jail following the arrest,” detailed the police. “Because this case involves a juvenile, no additional information will be released from our agency.”
“The case has been referred to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution,” added the statement, as records for the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office indicate that Favors was charged with sexual battery against a child under 16, aggravated child molestation, and sodomy.
Sharing the booking photo of Favors, Libs of TikTok described the incident, “Sidney Starr, a MAN pretending to be a woman and TV personality, has been ARRESTED after he allegedly RAPED a CHILD at a hotel in Georgia. He has now been charged with sodomy, sexual battery against a child under 16, and aggravated child molestation … The thing they say never happens, happened again.”

When Favors was initially cast on the “Baddies ATL” program in 2021, having previously appeared on the program “Empire” — the same show of renowned hate crime hoaxer Jussie Smollett — he described himself on social media as the “First Transgender Bad Girl cast member for The Baddies of Atl tv show.”
Now, both he and his mother have spoken out in defense of his reputation. In a statement issued to TMZ, it was said that Favors “unequivocally denies the allegations against her and intends to vigorously defend herself through the legal process.”
“Allegations should not be mistaken for fact, and public opinion should never replace due process,” added the statement.
As for his mother, Stephanie Favors, she described the allegations as “completely out of character,” with the outlet reporting, “she does not believe her daughter would engage in sexual activity with a minor.”
