The Atlanta tea is piping hot this week, and Mimi Faust is not holding back! FreddyO caught up with the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star for an exclusive conversation, and Mimi gave us her real reaction to not one but two bombshells rocking her circle right now: her ex Stevie J marrying R&B legend Faith Evans in Las Vegas, and her castmate Karlie Redd announcing her engagement. If you think you know how Mimi feels, wait until you hear it from Mimi herself.
First, the wedding that stopped the timeline. News broke this week that Stevie J and Faith Evans tied the knot in a private Las Vegas ceremony, and the whole culture has been talking about it for two straight days. Stevie, the hitmaking producer behind some of Bad Boy’s biggest records, and Faith, the First Lady of Bad Boy and the widow of The Notorious B.I.G., have known each other for decades — but nobody, and we mean nobody, had a surprise Stevie-and-Faith wedding on their 2018 bingo card. For Mimi, this is personal: she and Stevie share years of history and a beautiful daughter, Eva, and their story played out in front of the whole world on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. In this video Mimi talks about how she found out, what it means for their family and co-parenting, and where she stands today.
And because one headline is never enough in Atlanta, Karlie Redd chose this same week to announce that she is engaged, showing off her ring and sending the cast group chat into a frenzy. Karlie’s love life has been a front-and-center storyline on the show for years, so an engagement is a major new chapter — and Mimi, who has stood next to Karlie through plenty of cast drama, weddings and breakups, has thoughts on that ring, that timing and what happily-ever-after looks like in this circle. With season seven of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta just wrapping up, trust us, there is a lot to unpack.
One thing about Mimi Faust: she has lived her whole story in public, and in this conversation she is calm, clear and completely unbothered in a way that only comes with growth. Press play on the exclusive video above to hear her full take on Stevie and Faith’s wedding and Karlie’s engagement, browse the gallery for more FreddyO moments with the ladies of Atlanta, and then meet us in the comments: are you congratulating Stevie and Faith, congratulating Karlie — or are you, like us, still picking your jaw up off the floor?
