‘Love During Lockup’ star Ayonna faces backlash for 'irresponsible' behavior
'Love During Lockup' star Ayonna is willing to give up everything for love! During the previous season of the WeTv's spin-off show, Ayonna, an exotic dancer hailing from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was seen dating an inmate named Jamahl. For the unversed, Jamahl was the ex-boyfriend of Ayonna’s best friend, which made their situation a bit complicated.
Despite everything, Ayonna who is a single mother has stood strong by Jamahl's side through thick and thin. In the last few years, Ayonna has faced many legal problems. She was previously arrested by the cops for DUI (Driving Under the Influence) on August 08, 2023. Then, she stayed in prison for 15 days before getting released on August 23, 2023. Speaking of her arrest, Ayonna said, “I got pulled over for speeding. I was on my way to work and they pulled me over. They said the car smelled like weed and they made me do a sobriety test and they gave me a DUI for being high driving on marijuana.”
In an episode of 'Love During Lockup', Ayonna got very angry when the judge handling her DUI case didn't give her permission to feed her daughter during a virtual court hearing. She lashed out at the judge for the same reason. “You really had to hear this judge. Like, I really hate these people. Like, they really feel like you’ve got all this f*****g power because you went to school and got this corny *ss piece of paper that says you’re this person," Ayonna complained to her friend.

'Love During Lockup' star Ayonna's friend feels 'reality doesn't click to her'
'Love During Lockup' star Ayonna's friend tried to help her understand that there are many different ways to handle a situation “Just remember you set the tone. Girl, you don’t ever think about solution B until you’re flat on your face," her friend said, as per Cheat Sheet.
