Transgender reality television personality Sidney Starr, whose real name is Sidney Favors, has been arrested and charged with felony offenses related to an alleged sexual assault involving a juvenile. Starr, 37, faces charges of sexual battery against a child under 16, aggravated child molestation, and sodomy, according to jail records.
Police arrested Starr on August 2 following an investigation into an incident at the Embassy Suites in Hapeville, Georgia. She remains in custody at the Fulton County Jail. The Hapeville Police Department stated that no further details would be released due to the involvement of a juvenile. The case has been referred to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
Starr, who has appeared on shows such as "Love & Hip-Hop: New York," "The Gworls Club," and "Baddies ATL," was scheduled to co-host the "Baddies" reunion on the day of her arrest. In 2021, she made history as the first transgender person to join the cast of a "Bad Girls Club" spin-off, expressing her desire for greater transgender representation in the series.
Starr has also had acting roles in "The Chi," "Empire," "Bommerang," and "Star." Representatives for Starr did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
