The “Little Women” franchise has given us lots of entertaining and heartfelt moments. After many successful seasons of the Los Angeles-based show, some little women from Atlanta took over the screen in 2016 and didn’t take long to gain an irreplaceable place in everyone’s hearts throughout the years.
Now that it’s been a couple of years since “Little Women: Atlanta” on TV, it’s due time to make a thorough update about the cast, their whereabouts, what their life has been like after the show’s cancellation in 2021, and a lot more!

Ashley ‘Minnie’ Ross
Ashley Ross, most commonly known as ‘Minnie’ or ‘Mama Bear’ in the show, was one of the most famous cast members and a staple in the show. Unfortunately, she died after sustaining serious injuries in a car crash on 27 April 2020 at 34 years old, leaving her loved ones and fans of the show utterly heartbroken.
Minnie’s family revealed the sad news through social media, where they affirmed that she had been involved in a hit-and-run accident. Nonetheless, some news sites later revealed that it was Minnie’s car which hit another vehicle after she lost control. No third car was involved in the accident and no one was driving under the influence, while the other driver sustained mild injuries only.
Some sources state that, at the time of her death, Ashley’s net worth was $1 million, though this estimation could be slightly exaggerated.
To honor Minnie’s memory, the sixth season of “Little Women: Atlanta” premiered the episode “A Life Worth Celebrating” in early 2021.
Tiffany ‘Monie Cashette’
As one of the most iconic stars of “Little Women: Atlanta”, Tiffany ‘Monie Cashette’ Becton has a lot of things to say. Ever since the show’s sixth season’s finale aired in 2021, Monie has kept herself busy pushing forward her career by acting in local theater plays and collaborating with content creators.
Monie is also quite popular on Instagram and TikTok, where she has over 800,000 followers combined. Having such a massive audience has allowed Monie to gain sponsorships from different types of brands. With that being said, Monie affirmed in a 2023 video that her biggest goal was to become an actress and act in many ‘future classic movies’.
Not much is known about Monie’s romantic life after her divorce from her ex-husband Morlin Ragland in 2021, but it seems that everything is going great for her and her son Derrick Beckton Jr., who matriculated from high school in 2024. As many good fans of “Little Women: Atlanta” might remember, Derrick was in his early teens when he appeared in the show, and at some point, Monie left Atlanta to live with him in Houston, Texas.
According to sources, Monie’s current net worth is $500,000.
Briana Barlup & Emily Fernandez
The iconic duo ‘The Cheeks’ was a staple in the show for its first two seasons until the friends decided to move to Texas, where they joined “Little Women: Dallas” in 2017. Later, they took back their spot as main cast members in “Little Women: Atlanta” during the fifth season, though only Briana continued on to appear in the sixth season as a recurring star.
With that being said, Bri and Emily had a fallout while in Texas, with Bri moving back to Georgia and explaining the whole situation to Juicy in a “Little Women: Atlanta” episode. It doesn’t seem that the pair fixed their friendship after the show’s end, given how neither Bri nor Emily follow each other on social media or have any public contact with each other, as far as it’s known.

These days, it’s unclear what the former ‘Cheeks’ are doing career-wise, but their social media lets us see some interesting details about their personal lives. For a start, Bri often posts updates about her sons Malik and Karter, with the whole family still living in Atlanta.
Sources estimate her net worth at $1 million.
On the other hand, there’s Emily, who still lives in Texas alongside her children. Though her social media updates are sparse, in 2024 it was revealed that Emily had purchased a horse for her daughter Ava, who is a horseback rider.
Emily’s net worth is estimated at $700,000, though it could be more considering she inherited a trust fund from her late father.
Amanda & Andrea Salinas
The unforgettable ‘Tiny Twinz’ from “Little Women: Atlanta” didn’t take long from becoming fan favorites right from the show’s premiere in 2016. The twins Amanda and Andrea Salinas did wonders to keep the audiences entertained and charmed with their captivating personalities and adventures.
Throughout the show, we see Andrea sorting through the challenges of being a mother and her tumultuous relationship with Chris Fernandez, the father of her three children. For her part, Amanda saw the distance between her and her twin grow as both made their paths in life. Amanda eventually tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend Jordan Castillo, in a heartfelt wedding ceremony featured in the show.
These days, Andrea posts exclusive content on the subscription platform OnlyFans, but nothing else is known about her or her sister’s career except that they now live in Texas. Some sources estimate Amanda’s net worth at $750,000 and Andrea’s at $550,000.
Regarding their romantic lives, it’s known that Andrea’s ex-boyfriend Chris was arrested in 2021 for assaulting her, but it’s unclear if Amanda and Jordan are still together these days.
With that being said, the twins went through a difficult time when their father, Oscar sadly passed away in 2022 from an unidentified illness.
Shirlene “Ms. Juicy” Pearson
Last but not least, there’s the ‘Queen of Atlanta’ Shirlene Pearson, most commonly known as ‘Ms. Juicy’. She joined the first season of “Little Women: Atlanta” as a recurring cast member, but her eccentric personality, memorable moments, and knack for creating drama gained her a spot as a main star and the hearts of the audience.
While Ms. Juicy is undoubtedly one of the most famous people from the show, having become an internet sensation through her viral pics and videos, the truth is that there’s a lot more to be said about her. Shirlene suffered a stroke in 2022, which put her in the intensive care unit for some time, though she luckily recovered well in the end. Also that year, she made her acting debut in the Amazon Prime Video movie “Strange Love”.
These days, Shirlene keeps working as an entertainer in Atlanta, and also owns a clothing line. She’s also very active on Instagram, updating her fans about her whereabouts, and posting motivational messages.
According to reports, she has a net worth of over $2 million.
All in all, the beloved girls from “Little Women: Atlanta” seem to be doing great these days, even despite the many challenges they’ve faced.
