Title: Mimi Faust opened up like never before — revisiting the deep hurt and betrayal she suffered at the hands of Stevie J.
In a rare, emotional sit-down with Claudia Jordan, Mimi Faust opened up like never before — revisiting the deep hurt and betrayal she suffered at the hands of Stevie J.
It wasn’t just about love.
It was about loyalty, sacrifice, and realizing the painful truth: sometimes, the person you hold down the hardest will be the first to turn their back when they finally make it.
Mimi’s Heartbreaking Reflection
Mimi didn’t hold back.
She revealed that she had been riding with Stevie since 1997, through absolute rock bottom.
No money.
No motion.
No status.
Claudia even chimed in, saying that she herself once had to send Mimi money just to help her cover rent and phone bills back in the day.
“That’s how broke we were,” Mimi said. “But I stayed.”
Stayed through the struggle.
Stayed through the disappointments.
Stayed through the droughts — believing in the potential of the man she loved.
But then came the ultimate betrayal.
“You Hurt Me To My Core”
Through visible tears, Mimi recalled how, after all the years of loyalty, as soon as they finally hit success — with the massive popularity of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta — Stevie J left her behind.
And not for a woman he built a deep connection with…
but for a stripper he had just met.
“After staying with you through ALL that, the second we FINALLY get on, you leave me and say ‘F me’ for a new chick you just met at a strip club?!? You hurt me to my core.”
Her voice cracked.
Her eyes glistened with tears.
You could feel the brokenness still lingering after all these years.
But like the queen she is, Mimi pulled it together — though the sadness in her eyes said what words couldn’t.
A Harsh Reality Check For Women
Claudia and Mimi’s conversation sparked a MAJOR life lesson:
Ladies — stop building men based on potential.
Because too often, the second they have the success you prayed for, they’ll leave you for the fantasy they always wanted.
And you?
You’ll be left holding memories, empty promises, and broken dreams.
Mimi’s story is a cautionary tale:
Don’t ride or die for someone who would abandon you the second they get a little shine.
Don’t stay because of potential. Build YOURSELF up.
Prioritize your own bag, your own dreams, your own happiness.
Final Thoughts
Mimi Faust’s vulnerability in this interview wasn’t just powerful — it was NECESSARY.
Her story reminds us all: Love should never cost you your dignity. Loyalty should be mutual, not one-sided. And no woman should ever lose herself hoping a man will eventually appreciate her.
Build your empire, sis.
Then invite only those who deserve a seat at your table.
