EXCLUSIVE
Tommie Lee‘s past is coming back to bite her … because prosecutors say her lengthy rap sheet means she’s ineligible to enter a mental health program — which would have spared from time behind bars.
We broke the story … the ‘Love & Hip Hop’ star submitted a petition in her child abuse case to allow her to get treatment for a serious mental illness, which she claimed she was diagnosed with around the same time she was charged with child abuse in Georgia.
Tommie got her answer — no can do.
According to a new legal doc obtained by TMZ … the Assistant District Attorney determined Lee’s criminal history and background — along with other evidence, facts and allegations — “make her an inappropriate candidate for an accountability court.”
As we reported … Tommie was indicted in January on multiple child abuse charges for allegedly assaulting her middle school-aged daughter. She’s facing 7 charges, and since she’s been shut down for the mental health program — she could get up to 54 years in prison, if convicted.
Lee was arrested twice before in connection to this case — once for the alleged assault in October, and again less than 24 hours later for violating a court order to stay away from her kid.
She was also tossed back in jail in March for showing up drunk for a hearing in the case.
As for her mental health issues … Tommie told our Raquel Harper she’s bipolar in a 2016 episode of “Raq Rants.”
