TMZ is reporting "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Momma Dee was busted for "fraud on innkeeper - nonpayment" on Saturday morning.

It was reported that Momma Dee was out with friends to celebrate her birthday and when a bill for around $500 came to the table, no one wanted to cough up the cash, according to TMZ.

But TMZ says Momma Dee says her arrest was just a big misunderstanding -- telling TMZ she had every intention of paying her tab.

Momma Dee told TMZ she was in the bathroom when the check came, and everyone in her party had left the restaurant. When she came back from the bathroom -- Momma Dee said she was "bombarded" by restaurant managers and police officers who claimed she was dining and ditching, according to TMZ.

Additionally, she says although it was her birthday, the dinner wasn't planned specifically for her, and she was just an invited guest to dinner. Momma Dee told TMZ she was willing to pay her part of the check, but she wouldn't pay for the others, and that's when she was arrested.

Dee was held behind bars for a few hours and released after posting a $250 bail.

Deborah "Momma Dee" Gaither is rapper Lil Scrappy's mother.
