Mimi, I’m Gonna Need You To Cut The Naive Act

Unlike a lot of people, I don’t think Mimi Faust is stupid. A fool in love? Yes. But stupid, not necessarily. For some reason though, she thinks playing stupid makes her look better than what she likely is— a woman who got gamed by believing a man’s words rather than simply looking at his actions and drawing the appropriate conclusions. Oh, and then leaving his sorry, cheating butt.

I say that because of the latest interview the “Love & Hip-Hop” star did with T T Torrez of ipower 192. They asked the reality TV figure what her reaction is watching the show every Monday and she responded:

“My mouth is on the floor most of the time like ‘Are you serious?’”

No Mimi, are you serious? This isn’t the first time she’s tried to pull the “I had no idea” card when it came to the craziness that has been revealed on the show. She’s claimed that she had no idea Joseline would even be on the show before, let alone that she and Stevie had any type of extracurricular relationship. I’m calling BS. For one, there is no way that any man living as foul as Stevie J just started being about that life a few months ago. I don’t doubt for a minute that he’s turned up the ignorance level significantly since the cameras starting rolling because it’s so clear he thinks he’s the star of some low-budget love triangle flick right now, but in 15 years I guarantee that man has done plenty of other dirt. I wish I had the stats on his kid’s ages although the fact that he has five baby mamas and he and Mimi’s relationship has since been labeled “on and off” over the course of that decade-and-a-half tells me infidelity was likely at the root of at least one of those break-ups. Not to mention the fact that Stevie isn’t even in his prime anymore and Jos certainly isn’t a top-shelf pick. You can’t tell me back in his Bad Boy-producing heyday, that man wasn’t creepin’ all over the ATL and probably NY too. Mims, just keep it real.

Also, what kind of relationship do you have if you don’t come home at the end of the day and talk about who you shot scenes with. Granted, Stevie was probably going to his studio in the city at night while Mimi was at her hush home in the ‘burbs, but if he really didn’t mention to her that Joseline would be on the show, that speaks volumes about how much of a partnership they don’t have. She really didn’t need to see more than the first episode to know it was time to run away from that man—although as I started out in this entire article, she knew what was up long before Mona-Scott Young and VH1 ever came knocking on her door, camera and contract in hand.

I’m much more inclined to be sympathetic to the woman who can admit she overlooked some things, she settled, she saw what she wanted to see, she stayed for the money, she stayed for love, she ignored the signs—soemthin’—rather than a woman who has been in a semi-relationship for someone as long as Mimi and wants me to honestly believe things are being revealed to her at the same time they are the rest of the world. Girl stop. It’s a good thing her friend with the short cut who’s been begging her to see the light and leave Stevie alone for good is loyal because I’m sure she could tell some crazy stories about all the creeping Stevie has done over the years and all the sweeping under the rug her girl has done as well.

Mimi doesn’t owe her audience anything but what I can’t stand is when people tell lies that actually make themselves look worse than the truth would. Unfortunately, during her interview with T T, Mimi opted to just go mum rather than tell a good lie when the radio host asked her if she would ever get back with Stevie. Mimi went totally crickets, hello can you hear me silent on the line when T T asked that question which means she’s probably already back with him or setting up an appointment with U-Haul as we speak. That would have been one time that telling a lie rather than pleading the fifth would have made her look better.

What do you think about Mimi’s claims that she didn’t know anything about Stevie cheating before the show?

    What annoys me the most is when women knowingly bring an innocent child into a situation like that.You knew what kind of man he was before you decided to have a baby with him and now after the child is here, you are so adamant that you have to show a good example for your daughter and show her that it’s not right for a man to treat a woman that way, etc. etc. As women, we choose the father of our children so we need to take responsibility that sometimes the kind of father our children have is our own fault.

  • LAHHATLKansasFan

    I just want her to stop acting (and by doing so waiting out time) like it matters to her if he cheats! Like the article says I doubt that this is the first time nor will it be the last. Men (and people for that matter) only do what you allow them to do. Because when she says I don’t want you to bring no other woman into this relationship, and allows him to contiue to do so regardless of her feelings what do you expect Mimi? You’ve told him how he should treat you, with what you put up with. Girl I truly hope that you are getting a HIV test (and other test to be honest) frequently because with that man anything is possible. Its just sad though. I hope that if the show comes back for a 2nd season (and if Mona has anything to say about it thats probably already in the works) that she doesn’t waste the audiences time with the back and forth of the matter. You live in a “hush house” (good reference here) with a man who loves cake (all in various flavors and colors), and is sitting pretty. At least you suggested to make some money off of Joseline, although knowing your track record at not standing your ground I’m sure that you didn’t hold Stevie J to it.

    I cant take ppl or situations from these ratchet shows seriously b/c there’s prolly a lot of stuff that goes unseen. But i”ll be honest and say I watch to laugh and I could care less whether she stays, leaves, has another child or Stevie continues to sword fight wid Joseline. On a side note her arms remind of Madonna’s but not as masculine

    • grateful

      lol att sword fight with Joseline!

  • Nukie

    She was also on kandi koated nights trying to sell the same story.

  • CA Pullen

    I don’t buy it. She had to seen the sign of this guy cheating. I don’t understand why women like her continues to stay with these men who constantly cheat and don’t want to change. Once again having a baby is not going to change a man. And she cannot change him. I think she is staying and putting up with because of money and the lifestyle she is having. I would love to ask her “is it worth it?” Putting up with guy who constantly cheats and you see by his actions that he is not willing to change his behavior even though Stevie is rolling bank and cheating at the same time. Is all that really, really worth the money and the lifestyle, and the headache of knowing the guy is a bum?

  • applesauce585

    Mimi stopped being a “victim” once she found out! No empathy here! She knows what she got in Stevie J and she apparently haven’t had her enough yet….smh

  • heather

    Mimi is such a liar. Her long time friend even said she’s tired of seeing Mimi going thru this for so long so of course she knew he was a dog. She ain’t fooling no damn body!

  • DoinMe

    How old are his 5 or 6 kids with his 5 baby mamas? She says they’ve been together for 15 years so I hope that all of these kids are 15 and older. If not, not only is she a fool, but she’s a damned fool.

  • dontdoit

    My thought is she is like a lot of women and is competitive with men. I think Stevie J has been who he is since day one but his constant stepping out and returning home let’s her know that she won. As long as he keeps coming home she can feel special. Not only do I believe she’s not going anywhere I also think if he stopped she would leave.

    • heather

      And that’s the TRUTH of the matter! I’ve had that mentality before!

    • Milk and Honey

      This is so true! She even refers to herself as “His Main Chick” like that makes her special or gives her some sort of rank over the other women. What about being his ONLY chick!?

  • queenietoo

    and what’s up with old boy talking about you gone look out for me on that child support lol are you kidding me right now? really? omg! dude get ready because it’s coming

  • http://twitter.com/TheOnlyWillona Willona Woods

    LOL! Not the tranny’s! I hope she gets monthly HIV tests!

    • courts

    I dont even care if she knew what he’d been doing in the past, what about now? Since she found out he’s been sleeping with Joseline what did she do about it? I get so irritated with her tears and her taking-no-more-putting-her foot-down acts that i always switch channels when she comes on. I’m appalled to see a grown woman so stupid, i cant take her anymore.
    She finally throws him out only to agree to therapy with him. Really? You’re still holding out hope for this guy and realtionship?
    I cant…..i’ll just shut up and keep avoiding her scenes.

    • CarlaKah

      Let’s look at it from a human point of view. I have dealt with numerous girlfriends (or frenemies) that made excuses for a guy or stayed after breaking up with him because they were in love had a kid share a rented home etc. I feel like we should all remeber how stupid ut is to stay in a relationship like this once we enter one. Once you forget your own worth thing slike this can definately happen.

  • deedee

    So what you pretty much said is Mimi is stupid….

  • ThisChick

    Idk for some reason I want to give her the benefit of the doubt of she didnt know what was REALLY going on…to an exent. As a women I know what it is like to believe the words of what someone tells you day after day. Like when they say they love you and want to be together blah blah blah…but you have to pay attention to those actions they show. Nobodies knows what really went on between them over the years. Because from the show and he seems like the type that will lie until he is caught red handed (and then keep lying) and he knows exactly what to say to keep her there. After awhile I think some women just start to believe everything a man says or just accept it and block out that voice that tells them something aint right. Sometimes its hard to believe the person you put your trust in and have been around for awhile can look in dead in your face and just flat out lie! I think she had a clue (its like a women intution and that gut feelin we know whats really up) but she let her feelins of love for him keep her there. I think she is one of those women who needed to see him doing something to really believe it. I’m not saying it is okay and I think she would be a complete fool if she went back to him after all the truth has come out and he has shown his true colors but I hope she learns from this because he seems to have no remorse for what he is doing. I can’t stand males (he aint a man!) like that. But I feel for her and her daughter because now he will always be there and I wish I could beat it into her head to really move on from him because there is so much better for her.

    Relationships, especially romantic relationships, are difficult to navigate. Sometimes silence is golden.
