We’re sure most of you heard about a Kim Kardashian style home video featuring “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” personality Mimi Faust and her onscreen beau Nikko Faust floating around. Now Urban Belle heard from a little birdie not too long ago that Mimi actually released the alleged tape herself and she did it to get some traction in an attempt to secure her spot for the upcoming season of LHHATL. Apparently she’s concerned Stevie J. and Joseline’s marriage might make her less interesting. And it looks like the gossip might have actually been spot on. In fact, a source tells Atlanta blogger Funky Dineva that not only did Nikko and Mimi leak the supposed tape themselves, but Mimi even got some media training so she could milk the whole thing for a good storyline via her interviews. Funky Dineva writes:
When your storyline is fading and the love has lost its shine, what else is there to do but produce a s*x tape? Well get in the gym and make sure your body is super tight, go to the surgeon and get some top shelf t*tties, then produce a s*x tape. That’s what Mimi and Nikko did. Hell, quiet as its kept, I ain’t even mad with them. This reality tv money is some of the quickest and easiest money there is to get these days. Everyone is trying to get it while the getting is good. What I can respect about Mimi & company as that they were smart enough to orchestrate the entire plan from start to finish. Getting Mimi media training so she can nail her answers when the time comes was brilliant.
To be fair, Mimi isn’t the only reality star allegedly creating fake storylines to stay relevant. Her own costar Rasheeda and her hubby Kirk got put on blast for it last season, and even LHHNY star Peter Gunz recently admitted that his drama is fake too. Apparently he was so broke he felt he had no other option. And it’s been rumored for years that the Kardashians fake all their family drama for the cameras and most even think Kim married Kris Humphries for a storyline and she only fueled the rumors more by divorcing him just 72 days into the marriage.
Mimi’s camp hasn’t responded to the report as of yet. So this is all just gossip for now.
All these reality stars are some sad people. Smh.
Agreed.
SMH. And I thought Mimi was the one that wasn’t as ratchet. LOL.
I blame Kim Kardashian and her family.
So when it comes down to it, Mimi isn’t much better than Joseline after all.
Not at all. But who’s shocked?
This is pretty pathetic, even for Mimi. But I can’t say I’m surprised. She put up with Stevie J. on and off for 15 years.
Low self esteem is a b-tch man. It has these females out here tricking for a check. Why not use the brain and make some real money tho?
What the hell? Is this like the new thing to do now? Society has gone all the way down hill. These reality shows have people out here looking crazy. The money can’t be that good!
And Mimi’s dumb a-s has a daughter. Is this what she’s trying to teach her? Ugh.
I thought Mimi owned a business…so why is she resorting to these kind of antics to make money?
Probably because the business isn’t doing well or doesn’t even exist in the first place.
Mimi better go holla at Lawrence Fishburne’s daughter. She’ll tell her how that whole Kim Kardashian plan can backfire. Truth be told a black woman can’t pull that off. But we shouldn’t even want to. Just saying…
So true. But people need to find more respectable ways to make money. You can’t sell your soul and then get mad when people don’t respect you.
Give a chick some new t-ts and they start trying to do p-rn. LOL.
lol
I really hope this isn’t true. I thought Mimi had a little more class than this.
And she’s a mother. Good grief…
Well this is just another reason I don’t respect Mimi. Oh well.
Well K. Michelle did say she was real thirsty for camera time. I guess she wasn’t lying.
She has a sex tape! I’m so late!
Gross. Who would want to see Mimi and Nikko bump uglies? I sure don’t. I do want to keep my lunch from coming back up.
