Yandy Smith, a reality TV star from the United States, has had a tumultuous recent period. Yandy is most known for her role in VH1’s smash reality show “Love & Hip Hop: New York,” and she is married to Mendeecees Harris, who is presently doing time in prison for drug trafficking charges. Yandy Smith, the star of LAHH, has a net worth of $15 million.

Mendeecees is a reality television celebrity who used to co-star with Yandy on the show “Love & Hip Hop: New York.” He was accused of smuggling heroin and cocaine out of Rochester and into upstate New York. Harris was facing up to 40 years in prison and a hefty $5 million fine.

Harris eventually pleaded guilty to all counts and asked for a sentence of 8 to 10 years in jail. Because Harris had pleaded guilty, federal prosecutors requested the judge not to impose him a lengthy jail sentence. In December 2015, the judge complied and sentenced the reality TV star to 97 months in jail. He was first released on bond after handing over $170,000 in revenues from TV shows and public appearances to the government.

The Mendeecees’ four children, as well as Yandy, were devastated by the news. They had got married earlier that year after years of courtship. Many others said they didn’t feel sorry for her because she knew what she was getting herself into because the lawsuit was still pending when she and her husband married in 2015.

Yandy resorted to Instagram to express her feelings about the situation. She stated that she was learning to cope with the circumstances and maintaining her strength. She also thanked everyone who had helped her through this tough time, saying that love, in the end, triumphs above all.

After that, things became much worse for Harris, as his pleas to have his sentence reduced were denied by the judge. Harris and his lawyers begged for a five-year sentence, claiming that Harris’ involvement in cocaine and heroin trafficking was minor, but the judge turned down their request. Harris appears to be facing the possibility of serving the entirety of his sentence.
