Miatta David’s Response follows this post]
Today we introduce a new section called Put ‘Em On Blast. This section gives a voice to those in the industry who feel they have been wronged by certain industry execs, celebrities or companies.
Please note that you must have evidence in the form of canceled checks or pictures or your Blast will be rejected. This section is not for the public to air grievances with other private citizens — call Judge Mathis for that.
First up is Miatta David (pictured), the beautiful founder of MVD, Inc Events firm based in NYC, who rolled through Atlanta last month bouncing checks in her wake. That might be how you roll in New York sweetie, but we don’t play that down here in the A
The bartenders and service people worked hard to make your event a success. They deserve to be compensated for their hard work.

Subject: RE: Please put this company on Blast SandraPlease put this company on blast for me. It’s a NY based company MVD Inc. They put on Soudja Boy’s 18th birthday party at the mansion in Conyers. Miatta David the owner gave out bad checks to the workers (bartenders, waitress, and models) knowing these checks would not clear. She wrote the check at 3am we deposited it at 9am. I have the returned check I can email you as well. Miatta David will not return calls and answers her own cell phone as if she was someone else. Please warn all.

Miatta David Responds:]
Dear Sandra,
The post on me is incorrect. The bartender was indeed paid. The email said we gave out bad checks to waitresses, bartenders and models which is totally untrue. I do not handle my own accounts, the minute it was brought to my attention our accountant sent out a replacement check. It is also untrue that no one returned his call, I actually spoke with him earlier this week and he has not contacted me on my cell..I don¹t believe he even has the number. I have attached a copy of the replacement check mailed out to the bartender.
Since we support and continue to support SandraRose.com, I wish someone would have contacted me to verify this information prior to posting it. Now, our accounts have been compromised due to this posting based on false information.
Hopefully this clarifies what happened, please let me know if you need any additional information.
Thank you!

OH SNAP, I’M PREDICTING THIS NEW SECTION GONE CAUSE A RUCKUS…LOL
umm she better pay and pay up quick! depending on how much she totaled she’s going straight to prison..that’s not good business AT ALL
Hmmmm thats a Small Claims Court Case …
yep @ mimi .. (in my Atl vernacular) It’s Finna be on and POPPIN !
Mimi oh you know it will..but can they really be mad at Auntie? Get your ish right and you won’t be put out there..just that simple
What’s the minimum..5k for federal? Some people do waaay too much
yep Yep @ 2beme … they can’t be mad at Auntie … the bad check becomes the property of the one who issued the check .. if they want to air ir out on SR .. they “own” the useless check to do as they please.
ADVICE TO THE RECIPIENT OF THE BAD CHECK, STOP TRYING TO CALL HER AZZ AND TAKE THAT FAKE AZZ CHECK TO THE LOCAL POLICE…THEY’LL FIND THAT BYTCH, YOU WON’T HAVE TO. AND WHEN THEY FIND HER, THEY’LL GIVE HER A SHINY PAIR OF SILVER BRACELETS RIGHT AROUND HER WRISTS AND EVEN PUT THEM ON FOR HER, AND GIVE HER A NICE APARTMENT WITH CEMENT FLOORS, AND WALLS WITH AUTOGRAPHS OF PAST TENANTS. AT THIS NICE NEW SWANKY PAD SHE’LL EVEN RECEIVE ROOM SERVICE THREE TIMES A DAY OF A FIVE STAR MEAL, BOLOGNA ON WHITE, NO MAYO OR MUSTARD…SEE, NO NEED TO CHASE A KNEEGROW DOWN, JUST CALL THE POLICE..THEY GOT ALL TYPE OF COMPLIMENTARY GIFTS FOR HER
^^^Mimi you know I love you sis..but for the sake of my eyesight will you puhleeze stop w/the caps booboo!
I’m on my way to a meeting, but when I get back I got a story for this section. I’m an event planner who pays, but got screwed by an artist. Putting him on blast on Sandra Rose would be such wonderful therapy for me. Not to worry, I got goobs and gobs of paperwork.
@2BME AND KYMSTRY
BUT YOU KNOW SANDRA GONE TAKE ALL THE HEAT FOR THIS BLASTING, NO MATTER IF THEM FOLK WRONGER THAN 2 LEFT SHOES….SHOULD BE EXCITING THOUGH….I’M ANXIOUSLY ANCIPATING WITH POPCORN IN HAND….ODDLY ENOUGH, I’LL BET IF I JUST SIT HERE AND THINK A MINUTE, THERE’S SOME PEOPLE I COULD PUT ON BLAST…HMMM.
Bird hurry up! As for them going after Auntie..ain’t nuthin..not her fault..I got her back on this one!
@2BME
Sorry bout the caps….habit…i will curtail it…
thanks babygirl..i keep feeling the need to get a switch like i’m in trouble every time you type..lol
@ mimi08
U GOTTA SPACE EM OUT….
* THROW SOME BULLETINS AND ISH LIKE THAT IN THERE!!!!
LOL
This new section all stemmed from that sh*t with Ciara and Philanthropist (or whatever her name is). Give me a break! This will just be more one-sided stories from bitter “Industry” people with an imaginary axe to grind= BORING!
(And I don’t care how many copies of canceled checks you get, SR. I’d cancel a check too if someone didn’t perform a service to my expectations.)
I’d rather talk sh*t about Zoe’s K.’s dirty clothes than to read about this bullish. NEXT!!
Oh Sandra! You are so wicked! I mean that in a good way. Bird, please air these people out!
Get it Sandra. One thing I can’t stand is a person who knowingly gives out bad checks. This…..should be interesting.
Sandra says:
Click to see copy of bad check.
__________________________________________
Uhhh…I don’t think putting people’s routing and account numbers on the internet is such a good idea Sandra. You need to redact that info before you become a victim of a lawsuit yourself!
who takes an out of state check now days ?
That is so wrong to write anyone that works hard a bad check!
You know that check has that womans acct # on it? But I guess it ain’t a matter of National Security being as it the broke breezy ain’t got the funds to cover anything.
i’m going to LUV this section!
@ hun, i wouldn’t cancel a check if someone didn’t perform to my expectations, i just wouldn’t pay their a$$…and honestly what type of expectations would u have at a damn soulja (sp?) boy party anyway…i can’t believe SR put a copy of the check up either…then again, who cares ain’t $hit in the account anyway.
@bird, hurry back!
all u need to do is google…
I DONT BELIEVE ANYTHING CAN BE DONE WITH KNOWING A PERSON’S ACCOUNT NUMBER. MAYBE I’M WRONG?????
LET ME CALL MY BOOSTING, THEIVING, CREDIT CARD FRAUD USING COUSIN LAKRESHYA……
it can if you know who the routing number belongs too and since a routing number is the calling card for a bank(basically a footprint) you can do damage..trust I WORK in bank fraud
is this legal Auntie Sandra?
DAYUMMM…..
HER ACCOUNT JACKED UP ANYWAY SO NO GOOD THERE…
SANDY – PLEASE POST ONE OF RHI-RHI CHECKS.
i’m all for people getting paid and all..but, putting that ladies check on here with all her personal business information is unbelievable. sandra you should have at least blocked that information out…i know you’ve had folks attorney’s send you letters etc..but, this time you might get more than a phone call and a letter knocking at your door. you can’t just do stuff like this and expect people not to do or say anything about it. all i can say is be careful when you come in and out your crib.
Blackbarbie——————————————–>
nothing else said..lol
GIRL – WE IN A RECESSION.
I’M TRYING TO COME UP!!!
All those numbers on the bottom of that check are the account number and the bank’s routing number: Signature Bank- 8th Floor New York, NY 10036 (646) 822-1500.
With that info, you could feasibly transfer funds (if there are any) from that account to another, open up a Pay Pal account, pay a bill on line, get a pay day advance, make fake checks- ALL THAT!
Not cool.
THANKS HUNE916….
SANDY – THE SOONER THE BETTER.
THANKS!
not paypal unless you have access to the bank acoount for the min deposits they put in, but you are correct..you can easily make checks in her or the companies name as well as do an online payday advance(they don’t check info)as long as the account is valid its a done deal..I googled the routing number and it came up as well..that’s all that is needed to get the ball rolling..hopefully the account is closed

__________________________________________
It usually doesn’t work like that. You need to pay something up-front first to secure the service.
Wow – All I can say is Dayum dayum Dayum Gina in Martin voice – to all the comments and the story, plus putting the check up with out redacting the routing no. etc.
LET THIS BE A LESSON – WE LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY.
ON A SERIOUS NOTE – I KNOW IM CLOWING. I HAVENT HAD IT HAPPEN TO ME, BUT IVE SEEN THE DAMAGE OF IDENTITY FRAUD. ITS NOTHING NICE!!!
My motto is how can I have insufficient funds as long as I have checks. J/K I would be mad as hell (in my best Madea voice).
omg lol @ BlackBarbie askin sandra to post one of Rhi Rhi’s checks. BWHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAHAA!!!!
This is funny to me in soooo many ways… you have no idea.
The account has prob already been closed, but Sandra you definitely go hard.
I am loving this new section! There are so many shady people in the music/entertainment industry. Auntie Sandra, PUT THEM ON BLAST!
@ hun: right, but didn’t they get the checks after (or once) the event ended? most of the time payment isn’t made until after the service has been rendered. i guess the deposit cleared (probably for the venue itself) and everyone else was SOL…that’s messed up
dayummmm that is messed up. Hope they get their cheese
sandra, this will be a good place to add those shady promoters who falsely state that “such and such” will be at their party…on the flipside, sometimes people overlook the “specially invited guest” part…i want you to put those on blast who knowingly give out false info though…
these promoters are popping up all over the place in chicago and it will give me great pleasure to seprate the real from the fake!
that’s the thing specially invited means just that..we may have invited them but there’s no guarantee their azz will show up! promoters look for people to be gullible..and that’s in every city..it’s not going anywhere unfortunatley until folks learn to be smarter and pay attention
Don’t f with nobody money!!!!
You’re all correct about the checking account routing number. I removed the check. I spoke with Miatta and she is planning to give her side of this story. So this post might disappear.
^^Hey Auntie hopefully the account is closed, no telling who lurked on here..can’t WAIT to hear this
SANDRA – THATS WHY I LOVE SR.COM.
Auntie ..(in my valley girl voice) … AUNTIE YOU ROCK !! !!
Sandra you know you wrong for including a picture too. But in NYC we don’t play the bounced check thing either, thats why so many people don’t accept them or want advances.
@ 2bme: exactly! i want to go after those who have “confirmed” guests (guests who don’t know)…my message prob got a lil confusing
…can’t do anything about folks who don’t pay attention…
@ sandra: she reached out to you?! i can’t wait to hear the other side of the story…u guys talked really quickly…damn that SR blog power!!! i hope they can get this resolved
point ’em out, point ’em out…
TOO LATE…Googled and found a printscreen of the check from this site. Sandra you need to be a little bit more careful.
Ok I’m back and preparing my documents for Sandra. I pray she will run my horror story. I hadn’t looked at the check, but I’m glad it has been removed. I am looking forward to the event planners story. Maybe she got screwed out of money and that is why her account was jacked up.
DANG – WHEN YOU GOOGLE THE TWO IT’S AMAZING WHAT COMES UP.
I WONT GO THERE BECAUSE I WISH TO REMAIN A MEMBER OF THE ALMIGHTY COMMUNITY.
PUTTING MYSELF IN THE CORNER………
Sandra, this story is true! I use to work in the same office as MVD side by side w/her hard working employee and she use to tell us that Miatta’s checks would always bounce. Her former employee was one of the hardest workers that I’ve ever met and her paycheck would bounce, this is a fact.
LOL – this is too funny Sandra!
Just Messy.
wow this post is so much jokes. she made sure to clear up her name and send a copy of the replacement check. i’m laughing my ass off right now as this girls reputation is out the door at the moment.
@ Miatta’s response
So that’s how she continues to stay in business, try to play like it’s not her fault but her accountants, that’s BS, Sandra don’t fall for that. You were in the right by putting her lying ass on blast.
IF A PERSON HAD TO HAVE A REPLACEMENT CHECK ISSUED, THERE HAD TO BE SOME VALIDITY TO THE PERSON’S CLAIM.
WHY WOULD THE BUSINESS OWNER BE SENDING OUT REPLACEMENT CHECKS?
PLEASE………
AND TO TRY TO BLAME SANRDA IS FULL OF SHHH TOO!!!!
Ms David says: “I do not handle my own accounts”.
A long time ago I remember watching an episode of Oprah. Roseanne was on their and Roseanne asked her to give her some advice that she could always use. Oprah said make sure that she signs every single check that goes out, no matter how big or small. So if someone running a billion dollar corporation can manage control of their finances I’m having a hard time believing that Ms. David cannot. Here answer “I do not handle my own accounts” is no excuse. No where in her answer did she say that she needs no business management representation. If someone else is watching her dough, they obviously aren’t doing a good job. I bet she got her money right off the top.
the new check doesn’t include the “return check” fee…miatta, don’t u owe him another 25-30 dollars???
blackbarbie us right, there’s a reason the check was returned…
try again miatta…ur cheap a$$ probably mailed the check 1st class instead of using priority or fedex…hell, the bartender probably didn’t receive it yet, i don’t give a damn about the date since you can put ANY date on a check…keep ur stuff in order missy!
@ shan: i totally agree…that “i don’t handle my own accounts” is so overrated and overused…if big o can do it, anyone can…we know THOSE checks ain’t gonna bounce…i will take one anyday…
Since that new check processing system Check 21 came into play a few years ago, checks are cleared very quickly. Generally you can look at your account and print the cancelled check online. This is just a copy of a check. It is not proof that the worker has received the funds for services provided.
So much for her side of the story. It sounds like total bullsh*t. Make sure you follow up with your source to see if they got paid.
Also I have sent you a detailed email and documentation about artist who robbed me. Please run it. I’ll owe you big time and will agree with everything you say for a whole week no matter how crazy it is.
YAY ! I like “put em on blast” ! LOL ! Get em Auntie !
She probably didn’t even mail the check. Handwritten????, if your company is all that have accounting to purchase some software and print your checks. Looks bootleg!
Sandra I already know…I am gonna love this new section….Cant wait to find out who Bird’s artist is…..counting down now………5-4-3-2-1……..
Ms Sandra….the original check was dated sometime in July. I too would be upset if they paid me 2-3 weeks later after the first check bounced.
Damn must be deep for bird to agree with u..and a WHOLE week at that?????ooh wee!!!!!

_________________________________________________
Roseanne…hmm…yeah that was a LONG time ago! I’m sure before Oprah got as big as she is, because trust and believe she DOES NOT sign every check that goes out of her corporation! You think there’s and authintic Oprah W. signature on every payroll check? Every AMEX bill? No.
I like this new section! Kinda mean to blast them but hey everyone has control over the situation by not writing bad checks!
Well my news isn’t that big. Just big to me. Anyway it’s old news so understandably Sandra can’t do a Put Em On Blast post on it. I think I’ll agree with her all day tomorrow just for taking the time to read all that crap I sent her and offering encouraging words.
I think u should still tell us based on GP
2bme
Well it seems I don’t have to tell you. Sandra is being kind to me as a loyal reader and posting the story after all. So watch your back because for at least the next week it’s me and Sandra against the world! And if the post makes the low life artist and his manager come up off some dough, which I doubt, yall will be cursing me out for the duration becasue I’ll be co-signing all Sandra’s sh*t and might go to Atlanta to shank her enemies for her.
I can careless about this post. I wanna see what happened with Bird’s story LMAO!!!!!!
DAMN NOW THAT’S LOYALTY!!!!!Bird you are a mess
Yall are sooo judgemental, maybe they check cleared too fast before she got paid???
Yeah but the whole account story doesn’t sit with me either. She had to sign the check it was like that it was computer printed by ADP. I get checks from accounting firms all the time and they are printed.
I use that excuse to sometime, I usually just tell them that the check is in the mail and blame the USPS.
SR, I advise you that before you decide to start doing this section on a regular basis you cross your T’s and dot your I’s before you get sued for slander! I just assisted with a celebrity charity foundation weekend for a very popular NBA player, in which we did not get compensated for. Someone threatened to go to the local radion station there and air all their dirty laundry (even though mostly false accusations), and there were attorneys calling first thing Monday morning.
Be careful who is making accusations, sometimes people are just bitter and are willing to do anything for revenge. Be aware that you can be sued, even though this is a blog!! The young lady whose pic u posted has every right to sue u for slander if she wanted to take it there…FYI!!!
@HunE916:
Here is something Oprah said about signing the checks. This isn’t the quote from when Roseanne was on (and they bet $10,000 and Roseanne couldn’t pay up) but nevertheless its basically saying the same thing:
I sign every check. Although it is now tedious because the bills that come in from running and maintaining a studio — everything from Federal Express to Xerox, to every tape that needs to be repaired, and so forth — it gets to be a lot.
I have stacks and piles of checks to do, and I know that there are a lot of successful people who don’t do that. I still have a tenement mentality. I’ve been very poor in my life, and so the idea of having money and not being responsible and knowing how much money you have and keeping control of it, is not something that I personally can accept. I know that there are other people who can, but it’s just not a possibility for me. I need to know where it is. There are times when I think I want to go to the bank and say, “Show it to me.” Because just seeing it on a piece of paper — anybody can print out a piece of paper. So I watch it very carefully and try to maintain responsibility for it.
I see a check…was it put back up?
blkdiamonn.. I could not have said it better myself.. reading these comments, everybody so for this mess not thinking of concequences and repercussions, and the backlash this could cause Sandra posting this mess. never the less someone actually coming for you because your going off of something another said which may not be totally true. Then Sandra added “We dont play this in the A” without ever hearing what the girl had to say.. SMH
DAMN .. how did I miss the comments on this post yesterday.
@ Bird … I am looking forward to hearing your story.
@ Sandra – please be more careful when posting stories like this, I would hate for you to post something and your site end up shut down for good.
my questions is why would you write a check if you knew the funds weren’t there…??? she knew she didn’t have the money to pay him when she wrote the check…this is bad business.
H-Town Shan
I guess that is why Oprah is a Billionaire and so many other people are not. Look at poor (literally) Dame Dash having to sue his accountant for getting him into tax trouble.
I agree posting the check is a bad thing, but blogs and even news sites post this kinds of stories all the time. How many times have we read that Lil Wayne has stiffed a promoter by not showing up for events even though he has been paid? It is what it is.
Why doesn’t Miatta handle her own accounts? That’s the worst thing that any business person can do which is totally entrust his/her accounts to an accountant/business manager/financial advisor.
Oprah Winfrey handles all of her own accounts and signs all checks. She said she learned that lesson from Bill Cosby. If Oprah, a billionaire, can keep tabs on her funds, little Ms. Miatta needs to begin handling her own funds at well. This is the reason why she’s in the mess she’s in now by not knowing what’s going on with her money.
No one will ever handle your business better than you can — please believe.
HUNE916…Oprah may not sign all of her checks, she probably does have an electronic signature. But, I’d be willing to bet my next paycheck, that old girl handles all of her own accounts and has NOT given power of attorney to her business managers/accountants to pay stuff on her behalf. I’m sure she is abreast of her accounts activities. Hell, she can access her funds via the Internet. And if a discrepancy arises, I betcha she has a private funds manager/money market manager/etc. — most wealthy folks do — whom she can contact day or night to get to bottom of stuff.
