Tatianna opened up about her disorderly conduct arrest on Tuesday, October 15, two days after the incident occurred in Atlanta, Georgia.
TMZ broke the story about the RuPaul’s Drag Race alums wild night on Monday, October 14.
Tatianna (real name Joey Santolini) was taken in by cops after she allegedly followed a nightclub employee back into the building through a door she wasn’t supposed to use. They said that the employee took a photo with her and then went through an employees-only entrance.
Things allegedly got a little out of hand when Tati wanted to use the same door as the employee to go back inside, even though they told her to enter through the front. Cops were called when she ignored him and went through the back anyway.
TMZ‘s sources said that when officers arrived, Tatianna refused to leave peacefully after being asked … and had to be escorted out the joint in handcuffs.

She appeared to be in near tears when her mug shot was taken after the incident took place.
“I’m fine!” Tati said in a statement released on Tuesday. “It was a dumb situation that I wish didn’t happen but s**t happens and people make mistakes. There was no violence or ridiculousness.”
“I’m crying in the picture because I was scared and had never been in that position before,” she continued. “Wish I would have just smiled.”
Tati shared something similar on her Instagram Stories, writing “Thanx for all the well wishes! I’m totally fine. It was the dumbest situation honestly. No fines or fees!”
