Judge Terrinee L. Gundy is under investigation for being late to work and canceling morning court sessions. Judge Gundy was appointed to the bench by former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed in 2013.
Channel 2 Action News reports Judge Gundy is under investigation by the state agency which oversees judges.
She is one of two judges who hold 8 a.m. sessions for defendants jailed overnight. But some defendants complain that Gundy often shows up late for work or cancels morning court.
Investigative reporter Richard Belcher says Gundy canceled court one morning so she could attend a Super Bowl pep rally for the Atlanta Falcons.
“Folks know Gundy to not show up, to postpone or to cancel court,” Mary Hooks told Belcher.
Hooks, who works with the defendants’ advocacy group Southerners On New Ground, says the defendants, most of whom are poor, mentally ill, or homeless, end up staying in jail until court can be rescheduled.
“I mean, it’s real simple: people have to go back to the cage until they have another court,” Hooks said.
Judge Gundy is a well-known Atlanta socialite who is a fixture at music industry parties. She is the ex-wife of music producer Kevin “She’kspere” Briggs (who co-wrote Destiny’s Child hit “Bills, Bills, Bills”), and she once dated former Mayor Kasim Reed.

What is Atlanta like? Is it a fun vacation with children? I’ve been following SR for quite some time and love this blog. But I can’t get a feeling for the “real” Atlanta. Is it all clubs and parties? What are the best areas for tourist attractions with children under 10. Thank you.
There is no real Atlanta anymore… everyone moves down here and thinks that we are like love and hip hop characters… everyone wants to be a celebrity… a rapper or model ? lots of gay men or dl… insecure women who wear lots of weave and makeup up trashy clothes…
Places to visit would be Stone Mountain Park… six flags… LEGO land… fernbank… centennial park is closed for renovation… college hall of fame… cabbage patch hospital… children’s museum… always a concert at the fox or tabernacle… Atlanta is busy but it has definitely changed the last 10 years…
i have lived here over thirty years and that is great advice..stay away from southwest Atlanta unless and parts of dekalb unless you want to be a victim
All my skinfolk ain’t kinfolk- Zora Neale Hurston
You can get it anywhere in Atlanta! If you’re a mark and a nicca wants to do you, no side of town is going to protect you!
and whats up with the middle aged white woman haircut
Shes clearly too hungover to go to work
well tell me why the vast majority of the killing goes on in the area where its mostly low income? is that where all the marks are at?
I see where this is going….new reality show…Women in Atlanta who practice law, married to people who practice law, and at least one woman done wrong by the law…
Atlanta is not a fun vacation destination. Head further south to Florida — Kissimmee, FL (Disney World) or Fort Lauderdale are great vacation spots for children. Disney World is your best bet.
Spoken like a true MARK! It would take too long to explain socio economic disadvantaged to you. I was merely pointing out that you can get it on any side of town! Would you care for a demonstration? Post your location.
Terrinee is besties with Ludacris’ baby mama, Christine White. Christine is a former Atlanta assistant district attorney. Both ladies are brilliant, but they want to be seen on the party scene, and those 2 worlds collide.
That’s Terrinee on the left and Christine White on the right.

We can’t expect anything less than crooked incompetence from anybody in Kasim Reed’s orbit.
Maybe the Judicial Qualifications Commission removes her from office, which will then afford her more time to party and fukk.
By the way, its this sort of foolishness that makes Atlanta’s criminal justice system so ineffective. People have been held in jail for days and weeks longer than they were supposed to because of judges and court personnel and sheriff’s staff not doing their jobs.
That adds up to people losing their jobs and having their home lives disrupted.
Meanwhile, Judge Hoochie is out somewhere turnt up and dropping it like its hot.
What a complete and utter disgrace. Martin Luther King, Jr. didn’t die for this.
You could already look at ol girl and see she not about that court action ? next..
Atlanta is run by black people and, unfortunately, we work on CP time.
Shame.
oh wow blocked and need to be reported
Reported to who sucka? Lol I’m going to tell my mommy! Change your name to queen shun! I can see why you would be a victim.
That’s the court fault. To expect this lady or anyone to never take a day off is ridiculous. I have about 5 folks who cover for me when I’m off and vice versa. I don’t care why I’m off. Sick, vacation, to attend a party….It’s my time. I earned it.
Also, hold the folks who appear in her court accountable for their actions as well. They are not all crazy, poor and homeless out here landing themselves in jail. Just bc you are any of those doesn’t give you special rights to commit crimes. If you are mental take your meds. If you are poor and homeless work on your situation vs crime. It’s not damn hard.
Thought the same thing. Why did she become a judge instead of an entertainment attorney? Seems like she always had an affinity for the celebrity life.I imagine presiding over 8am court is no red carpet affair.
Worse. She doesn’t like her job or career choice. I’m sure she’d show up on time for a reality show.
Just what would I be reported for? Argggh you’re a puto!!
Be mindful that your comment could be taken as a threat.
Sandra where is the threat?? I merely informed her that she can get it anywhere, not just the SWAT or Dec. I simply asked her would she like a demonstration. Doesn’t sound like a threat but more of a Q and A. Tell her to report me and see if she gets laughed at when the cops read the comments!!
Well that went south real quick!
Thank you @disqus_Agezh4XgXj:disqus. Very much. I appreciate this.
Thank you Ms. Sandra for your blog and for taking time to reply with suggestions.
Lol. Well damn.
Right !
I have lived all over the country and that includes Southwest Atlanta and Decatur. Your stereotypical bullshit has offended me. I have never been a victim in either, but I guess it’s how you carry yourself. If you act like a sheep, the wolves will MARK you.
Bruh look up all the carjackings/shootings in Buckhead, home invasions in Gwinnett, etc. Even Henry county’s crime is on the rise.
“Sandra where is the threat?”
“Would you care for a demonstration? Post your location.”
——
It’s too early in the morning for keyboard gang banging.
You’re welcome, hun.
God forbide if I ever went to jail, I don’t want to be held in jail no longer than I have to, all because some thot judge was out partying the night before. Fyi anybody can end up in jail, all it takes is being in the wrong place at the right time.
Sandra not keyboard gang banging but simply calling a chump a chump. I can back mine up anyday of the week! I can email you my address and you can provide it to queen shun! Queen shun, if you’re reading this it’s in the SWAT!
Funny how no one brought up the King Center or the Library of African American History. The High Museum is here. Kids would love that, along with the aforementioned Six Flags, Fernbank, Children’s Museum of Atlanta. Tour the new stadium, check out a sporting event. CNN tour. There is plenty to do here.
Most of the ppl who complain about ATL are transplants as are most of the ppl who give the city a bad name. For all the negative commenters you guys should definitely relocate if you hate it here so much!
“There is plenty to do here.”
The problem is avoiding the carjackers and gas station sliders while you’re here on vacation. It’s not worth it in my opinion.
They all look BOUGIE. She wrong for that!!! Why not just schedule time off like everybody else?! Sounds like abuse of power
There’s crime in every city. We are living in an age of random shootings, unprovoked attacks, and police brutality. Simply being aware of your surroundings is key
This shouldn’t be acceptable smh if she is not able to do the job based off her schedule then just step down. Most of those people in holding don’t have bail money so the end up staying long periods of time on small charges. They talk all this stuff about reform but allow this to go on smh
@SandraRose
How long do you think that’s gonna be a true statement?! I predict that after Mayor Bottoms there won’t be black leadership in Atlanta for about 30 years
@SandraRose
Karma’s mom? Ludacris is attracted to intelligent women I see. He hit the JACKPOT w/ Eudoxie. That woman is PERFECTION
A lot of the “gas station sliders” are taking advantage of dummies leaving their unnattended cars running!
Lol ?
@Saltine
Well Phaedra better sign up. . . Unless this is her idea and she’s getting Producer credit
It’s funny how when you digg, in that Bit**, ass she shut the fuk up……
Lol right auntie I’m in Miami now ? I’m so sicka Atlanta ????
No. There’s a difference between uncontrollable events vs someone just being in considerate and negligent. I’m sure judges are eneentit to the same PTO/Vacation time as everyone else. She should have done the responsible thing and REQUESTED OFF. Instead (per the post) she cancels frequently due to social gatherings while people -many of whom are poor, mentally ill and/or homeless- have to stay in jail until their hearing is rescheduled? First of all that sonds like a violation of their rights. If my memory serves me correctly, a person who gets arrested, has to go before a judge with 72 hours (unless bonded out).
You can not cape for her behavior. That sounds like “white privilege” an she ain’t even white!!!!!!!
Right ?
He has alot of mouth, but he ain’t about shit, what real man is going to block someone, and report it, He’s a Bitc* ass Nigg*, and that’s coming from a TS…
She’s the second person I thought of after the lady up top.
and of course crime happens every where that can be said for any city in the USA but when you go to places like simpson road the bluff candler,gresham its is a big difference than in those places you just named but if you think walking on lenox ave is the same as walking down English ave than so be it
Heeeeheee. I’m from Southwest Atlanta and it’s not bad. Mind your business and be about some business and you are fine. But you are right. You can get got anywhere.
I was just walking down many of those streets you just named. The most I heard was “Wassup Unc”. But I guess some people are built different!
I love Miami. South beach is awesome ?. But I couldn’t wait to get back home to the A.
Lol tell us how you really feel! ?
I hope you’re wrong! I haven’t even gotten a speeding ticket. I don’t know what I’d do if I was arrested!
True, and its at the expense of the most vulnerable Atlantans.
You’re right. When I think of a family vacation, it’s not Atlanta.
Wow! She is drop dead gorgeous . She needs her own socialite reality show with those looks.She could have replaced Phaedra on RHOA.
At this point, what do we have to lose if the black power structure loses some influence in city hall? Its not like they are accomplishing anything.
To the contrary, Kasim is the reason so many low income blacks now call call Clayton and Henry counties home.
If Reed ends up in jail, then Bottoms’ current term and reelection prospects get tougher because of her proximity to him and every single one of the people who’ve already been implicated in the scandal, which isn’t going anywhere.
Don’t be surprised if Cathy Woolard challenges her in 2021. Don’t even rule out Clark Howard either.
I’ve also heard whispers about Jon Ossoff considering a future mayoral run.
Clark Howard would get it. Black folk like him. I liked Cathy too. She was a strong candidate however I think her being a lesbian cost her. Keisha got it bc she really did advertise her name. Her signs were everywhere
I don’t think that nor did I say that. Plz recognize that a healthy debate or conversation is rooted in one’s ability to not put words into another’s mouth.
Of course those areas are more dangerous, but my main point was basically the first sentence of your reply. Had you read what I typed and truly attempted to interpret and understand, you could have saved your fingers some trouble. You basically agree with me, bro. Cheers to the weekend?
Hey E-Vanna hun. Clark almost jumped in against Reed in 2009. He may have beaten him.
I think you have a point with Cathy but I think her being a lesbian didn’t impact her that much. But Cathy ran her campaign as if the whole city was East Atlanta and Midtown. Of course you know its not.
She never had a persuasive rationale for running, and she couldn’t explain how her candidacy would actually improve crime, southside blight, or improve affordable housing.
I also think she forgot that a lot of voters didn’t even live in Atlanta when she was council president way back then, so that didn’t mean anything to a lot of people.
The truth is, because of the underlying racial politics in Atlanta, it was always expected that a black and a white candidate would make it to the runoff, with the black one having the slight advantage demographically speaking.
In the end, Keisha won because she was able to tie Norwood to Trump. That was the easy part though. The press, once-formidable city unions, and a chunk of black residents were not feeling her so she did something remarkable, even though she can probably thank Trump for being in office which helped her seal it.
U ain’t neva lied bout that
Atlanta’s true legacy as the birthplace of civil rights has just been forgotten, unfortunately.
That white floral dress is not cute on her. It looks like a semi-silk handkerchief you’d find at Goodwill.
I heard the judge has dated more than just Reed. She’s pals with Tyler Perry but of course we already know he don’t want no puzzy so she’s wasting her time with that.
Raheem Morris’ wife better make sure her hubby ain’t creepin’ because Judge Hoochie reportedly thinks he’s sexy, and I’m told she’s also been out with Keith Sweat and Rahn Mayo before as well.
???
Atlanta just does not need a municipal court, which would then mean no municipal jail as well. The municipal court has always been an inefficient and unnecessary additional layer of bureaucracy in a city that is already overburdened with such things.
The municipal court system is just another arm of government existing solely to get even deeper in taxpayer pockets.
@D_malo:disqus Thank you for these suggestions, I’m looking up your suggestions today. These are wonderful. I didn’t know of the new stadium. I appreciate your time.
I got an SR “hun”. I feel like a real rose. Thank you again Ms. Sandra.
Shame on her! She look like my pretty sisters (2 ugly atleast on the inside) that was sluts in they 20’s, got themself together in they 30’s now successful and think they the shit in they 40’s and 50’s.
And they out here trashing CHEETO CHIEF yet these DEM run cities failing the people for no other reason but incompetence.
ATLANTA = WHACKanda
Ole Terrinee. I’ve told this story before of working with her for a large telecommunications company in Atlanta. She always seemed nice and was always pleasant. I say that because typically corporate counsel are AH’s. I still remember when she was ‘way out there’ pregnant. At the time, I didn’t know she was married to one of the most in demand producers (She’kespere) in music.
The downside to social climbing I’ve seen here in Atlanta is a lot of people get positions simply by knowing the right people. In life, sure, but in Atlanta, times twenty. I wouldn’t be surprised if they find something on the janitor Kasim hired during his time in office.
DEAD.
STAY AWAY.
King shun is a racist white man. He has another account with the same name. King shun is a racist white man. He has another account with the same name.
King shun is a racist white man. He has another account with the same name.
I wish his racist ass was target.
Judge Gundy has some nice bags. Else than that, she’s being stereotypical by being on CP time…
Judge Gundy is a well known socialite…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sounds like she’ll be alright even if she loses her job…
(Snicker…)
Peter is back.
You don’t think the good white woman Mary Norwood will be around in 2021?
I know right. Talking about the church First Ladies like that.
I mean damn Judge can’t get a sick day???
You are soooooo wrong for that. (Giggles on my way out thru the garden gate.)
And allow it to go on in a city where ALL of the leadership is black.
They are completely ignoring the rights of these black defendants, while the judge is hungover from partying. If a white judge were doing this, TI would be all over IG crying “racism”, and using multisyllabic words incorrectly.
This is quite serious they can even suspend her from practicing law in the state indefinitely if she is removed from the bench. The bar usually takes one of two routes a slap on the wrist (written reprimand) or they bring down the hammer.
Agreed but u must admit keisha advertising got her the campaign too and ppl like me remember Mary Norwood from running against Kasim and we still wasn’t feeling her. Mary seemed out of touch and Atlanta couldn’t relate kinda like Hilary. I still think Cathy was a good candidate tho.
Shes attractive…In an odd lookng knda way. All i got.
That adds up to people losing their jobs and having their home lives disrupted.
Meanwhile, Judge Hoochie is out somewhere turnt up and dropping it like its hot.
What a complete and utter disgrace. Martin Luther King, Jr. didn’t die for this.
****
Amen.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Da judge can get it.
AH’s.
Lol
Why do people act like one erases the other? Benedict Donald’s gonna get what’s coming to him regardless to what any given Democratic administration does.
looooooooool
she sure can
Welcome to Atlanta,
This is what you get with Incompetent Affirmative Action Judges !
The whole bunch running Atlanta are a bunch of incompetent Crooks !
I don’t think that she will run again since she’s already been defeated twice
Is she on CP time or does she feel superior to those behind bars and feels that they can wait?
you need to chill out
Was told her oral is other-worldly.
Is this judge lady a soror? I’m only asking because I know Gizelle and Erika are …… and judge lady better lay off that creamy crack ! Her hair looks thin as hell.
Whoever she is she ain’t as cute as she think she is.
She looks like a hoodrat who attended a tier 4 maybe tier 3 law school. And was appointed to the bench by luck. ?????
Her look is…awkward.
So this is Atlanta’s legal community, Her, Phaedra and the guy who knocked up the model?
I would go to Wakanda and ask Ti challa but he disappears at the end of avengers infinity war #spoilerALERT
By luck? It sounds like she screwed the former mayor for a comeup
Lol obviously
Yup
Lol
here in Atlanta.. WE ARE FULL. full of LGBTQIAXYZ communities, and transplants. the only people that come here and party are those from the burbs 50 miles out.. NO ONE is from the REAL ATL..
they shoot stab kill and jack in Buckhead Sandy Springs and Dunwoody.. dont EVEN come for the SWATS and Decatur like that,,,
she has demonic eyes
no.. the news just report those MORE..
the shooting stabbing and jacking are done be the people coming out of the swats and decatur.. or do you think the folks who got 30k worth of property taxes a year out here carjacking in their free time
Wow. This lady is dead wrong for cancelling court knowing it will send people back to jail. She will reap what she sews.
Yyou are correct..black folks aren’t interested in progressing here in the South. They’re just fine how it is..
Keisha’s a continuation of Kasim..the same old crooked bs..and we all know she doesn’t pay her bills..
Yep!! Tacky and ghetto…
“To the contrary, Kasim is the reason so many low income blacks now call call Clayton and Henry counties home.“
IF THAT AINT RIGHT ON THE MONEY!!! You are 100% correct. Down here in Henry with their shenanigans!!
She is trying her damnedest to seperate herself from regime now though. She might turn on him if things get too hot in her spot.
Additionally, metro area school districts are directly afffected by this same ilk and others like them!!!!!!
This judge needs to be removed from the bench.
But unfortunately, if it does happen it will probably take a long time.
So true. I’ve known good decent people who got arrested for minor stuff. Even something like forgetting/neglecting to pay a traffic ticket can cause your license to be suspended, and if a cop stops you … there you go: arrested for driving on a suspended license.
I agree. This seems to be a pattern of behavior by this judge, just neglecting her responsibilities and not caring about the effect it’s having on other people.
Yeah, she does seem drawn to that celebrity/entertainment life. It wouldn’t surprise me to see her on some reality TV show within a year or so.
God bless those who choose to move to Miami. Not me. The Cubans run that town. I’ll just stay here in the ATL.
Chile, that relic will be damn near 100 years old by then. And she’s turned a lot of people off by not accepting defeat graciously.
Plus, I think the campaign exposed Norwood for the shallow hillbilly racist she really is.
You already know a white mayor is coming, but I think Norwood won’t ever get elected.
By 2021, people will be looking toward the future, and a younger generation. That woman is as old as Betsy Ross.
Van I would like to agree with you but she lost by just a few hundred votes out of hundreds of thousands cast. To me, that means she was getting votes from a lot of blacks too.
I was surprised by how many black people were supporting her. And not for any real reason either: most of the black folks I talked to who were supporting her didn’t know anything she stood for, they just wanted to shake things up.
Norwood is so transparent though. She had been positioning herself for a run for years, and she had this attitude that screamed entitlement.
Glad she lost although Bottoms is a hot mess.
Once she finishes collecting all her bribes, like Kasim, she’ll have enough cash to pay her water bill, yours, and mine too.
What about the white dude who ran?
Does he have a chance in the future?
Paul Howard set the tone and allows this kind of nonsense and since he’s a socialite himself, he doesn’t care.
Not surprisingly, he runs one of the most lazy and disorganized prosecuting offices in the country. Its amazing the press doesn’t cover it but the Fulton DA office has been struggling to keep people for years and they have a very sorry efficiency rate.
The most violent criminals–the ones that actually need to be locked up instead of non-violent people–in Atlanta are often let go on cheap bonds or signature bonds or the cases are dropped altogether because these assistants don’t fully do their jobs and have trouble piecing a case together.
There are a bunch of these black prosecutors all up in the scene, dividing their time between court and the club.
This includes a few gay boy prosecutors too, all up in Bulldogs when they need to be serving the community.
One more thing, I don’t care for Cathy Woolard as a candidate. I voted for Keisha but I didn’t want to; I know Caesar personally and like others, I would have been able to tolerate him in office. I voted for him in the primary, but he’s kinda two-faced to be honest.
We just didn’t have the best choices this time.
Keisha’s advertising seemed flimsy and patronizing. You gotta offer me more than saying you grew up poor and eating neck bones to get my vote. And I didn’t like her record as a judge; she was considered very unfair and sometimes made very controversial decisions, which was overlooked during the campaign.
I love Lisa Borders even though she was all up in developers pockets. I was hoping she’d give it another go but she’s happy getting that fat check from women’s basketball.
You mean Peter Anan? Hell NO, LOL, and you know why? Remember, he was Kasim Reed’s right hand man. A fact he himself heavily promoted, and which was known by most people behind the scenes.
He had his hand in a lot of Kasim’s worst and most ethically averse schemes and even If Peter manages to not get indicted himself, then he’s gonna have that stench of scandal on him, which disqualifies him.
Plus, he jumped on Norwood’s bandwagon and helped engineer several unions endorsing her. He’s very duplicitous.
If he runs for anything, if he finds the balls to run for anything, he’ll lose big.
Damn Atlanta has some shady politicians.
Clean em out Kesha.
New RHOA housewife!
You jackass! You think all stabbings and car jackings are only perpetrated by people from Southwest Atlanta and Decatur? I want to offer you the fade bitch!!! You better hope no points you out!! Oh yeah, run tell that!!
The TRUMP administration hires incompetent white males and white females. At least in Atlanta the black appointees are more then qualified for the positions.Can’t say the same for Trump.
The latest from Uber driver to Chief of Staff of HUD! The “best people” my ass!
Lol I’m just here for a mini vacay
lawd, i look him up on on wikipedia and see kandi done f*cked with him TOO lol
Excusing it doesn’t make it right. Another example of a change “we” need to make but would rather excuse. But will complain when another race takes over due to the incompetence shown
Something in the water with these black female judges. Judge Anita Kelly of Montg, AL has been under investigation for the same type of shat.
DEAD
In the south she will get by because of her eyes and skin color, because she is NOT attractive.
seems like homegirl enjoys the spotlight rather than the court room..maybe she needs a career change or naw???
LMAO don’t you start.
well, she sure knows how to dress
Atlanta isn’t ran by black folks! Dear heart don’t get it twisted! You just see us front in center! Saltines still run The Atl. #1. Confederate state! #2 It’s never been a Person of color as Governor! #3 The rabbit hole always run deep! Do your research 1st!
I agree with you regarding Mrs. Norwood. If Lance-Bottom doesn’t prove herself to be more effective she’ll be gone after her first term. I’m surprised she was elected since she was supposed by Reed.
She fine!!! Lock me up in your bedroom judge and throw away the key!! LOL!!
Ain’t that the truth. The thing is, these folk don’t care about black folk as a whole. What they care about it themselves and their black ELITE friends. They use the race card to keep the rest of us voting for them, but then only do for themselves.
When we gonna get it?
Oh, you wrong there. These black folk are out for themselves and their elite black friends. They get the rest of us to keep them in power by playing the race card come election time. We fall for it, not understanding that they only in it for themselves. Just look at that pack of women in the picture with their light eyes, dyed blonde hair and floral party dressed. They ain’t the regular you and me. Oh no. NO, no, no.
You need to take your snoe monkey ass outta here.
This too…
The brainwashing is so deeply ingrained that change is very difficult among our people.
Lisa borders ran against Kasim she my soror I thought she was going to win but didn’t. I know a lot of ppl say keisha is shaky too but hey nobody else got my attention thru advertising . She better do well tho. Or she won’t be in for long.
She’s never at work doing her job, and always locking up the poor.Fire her evil ass and let her be a party whore that she is from tifton ga!!!
Atlanta seems like a cesspool of social climbers and gold diggers…I thought this was the black hub for opportunity but all I see is scammers, flim flammers, and fake booties…
She should be reprimanded if she abused her power just like Meek Mills judge and so many other judges on the bench. This is why we gotta be careful who we put in office bc of who they put in office under them
