ATLANTA — A judge denied bond Tuesday for a reality TV star charged with sex assault.
The Hapeville Police Department arrested Sidney Favors, who is better known as Sidney Starr, at the Embassy Suites along International Boulevard earlier this month.
The department said Favors has been charged with “multiple felony offenses related to an alleged sexual assault involving a juvenile.”
During the bond hearing, the mother of the victim spoke about why she wanted bond denied for Favors. She says her son, who is 13, is now going to therapy.
“At this age when he should feel safe, innocent and protected, he is now forced to cope with trauma that no child should ever have to endure,” she told the court.

According to Favors’ social media accounts, the Chicago native was visiting Georgia over the weekend.
“She was to host a reunion at Encore Film Studios on Sunday night for the show Industry Girl, which is a TV series that is streaming on Ray J’s Tronix Network,” The U.S. Sun reported. “According to the show’s description, the series follows 25 women, including artists, stylists and creators as they compete through ‘intense drama and business challenges.’”
Favor’s Instagram account says she is also a cast member of “Baddies ATL,” Season 9 of “Love & Hip Hop: New York,” and MTV’s “Wild ‘N Out.”
