Ts Madison reacted to the shocking arrest of fellow trans, Sidney Starr, in a livestream video this week.
“Love and Hip-Hop: New York” alum Sidney Starr, 37, was arrested for s^xual battery on a 14-year-old boy at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Hapeville, Georgia on Sunday, August 2.
In a livestream, Madison commented on the age of the men he prefers to sleep with. The Atlanta-based transsexual said, “I like ni**as that’s MF over 30… I don’t want you in your twenties, b***h.”
Madison, 47, joked, “B***h, you and me need to be getting tired at the same MF time.”
Viewers seemed surprised that Madison didn’t criticize Sidney’s criminal behavior.
Sidney was transferred from the Hapeville jail to the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta. The reality TV star is being housed in the special LGBTQ section of the jail for their own protection.
TMZ reports that Sidney is being held in a special unit for “vulnerable” inmates, such as gay and transgender individuals.
A rep for the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office told TMZ, “Sidney identified as someone who engages in a particular lifestyle” during the jail intake interview.
The jailer said Sidney’s felony charges have nothing to do with the housing assignment. There are no restrictions placed on Sidney’s movements or activities within the special unit.
TMZ notes that child predators are usually placed in protective status while in jail.
The Sheriff’s rep tells TMZ that Sidney is housed in a dormitory where they have access to 3 meals a day, recreation, phone privileges and showers.
Sidney denied assaulting the child in a statement to TMZ.
Sidney said all contact with the minor was “consensual.”
In the statement, Sidney “unequivocally denies the allegations” and intends to vigorously fight the charges.
