Atlanta Housewives: Guess Who Got Caught Faking?!

Last night’s episode of “Real Housewives of Atlanta”, Sheree’s friends set her up on a date with a “psychiatrist” named Dr. Tiy-E. Dude showed up to meet Sheree at some jook joint style place with random bald spots in his head and some “grocery store flowers” (Sheree’s words, not ours). All this after Sheree bragged to her “stylist” Lawrence about this blind date of hers being a fabulous psychiatrist.

Dr. Tiy-E revealed he’s a divorced man. But what he conveniently forgot to reveal is that he’s a fraud. And has been outed as such. We’ve learned that this is the same dude who used to be the guest doctor on “The Ricki Lake Show” and a contestant on “The Real Gilligan’s Island” as the professor. He was outed as a fraud in an Atlanta Journal Constitution article back in 2005.

Tiy-E Muhammad claimed to be a psychiatrist and claimed to have a doctoral degree. Clark Atlanta University fired him from his real-life professor gig after his resume didn’t check out and the school he claimed to earn a degree from claimed otherwise. He ended up removing certain claims from his own website about who he is because reporters started to out him. Here’s the AJC article in full. And after all this, this dude is still claiming to be a psychiatrist:

The former Clark Atlanta University associate professor turned castaway on TBS’ “The Real Gilligan’s Island” has called himself a psychologist on his Web site and book jacket covers, yet he is not licensed to practice psychology in Georgia or anywhere else.

Kara Sinkule, a spokeswoman for the Georgia secretary of state’s office, said Muhammad, known as “The Love Doctor” on a local radio station, could face misdemeanor criminal charges.

Claiming you are a psychologist without a license is illegal, she said.

Muhammad, 35, says he’s a doctor, but he didn’t earn a Ph.D. in psychology at the school from which he has said he graduated, school records show. In fact, he attended Southern Illinois University for just one semester as an unspecified graduate student, said SIU spokesman Tom Woolf.

Muhammad said he left Clark Atlanta, where he was an associate professor in the psychology department for four years, because he wasn’t paid enough and he “no longer felt that spark” from teaching. School officials said he left after they discovered his credentials were bogus.
