Ready for your laugh of the day? Mimi Faust is writing a relationships book.

BBBWWWAAAAHHAAAAHHHHHWWWHHBBBBBBWWWWHHHHAA

OK, I’m done.

In case you don’t know, Mimi is the “Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta” reality star whose off-and-on boyfriend of 15 years Stevie J was sleeping with a stable full of women right under her nose, including cast member Joseline whom he impregnated. See why this book idea is funny now? In an interview with The Jasmine Brand, Mimi dished on her upcoming business ventures and told the site:

“I have my business, Keep It Clean, which I’ve had for 11 years. Its a cleaning service. I do residential and commercial property. I clean for high end clientele. I’m actually doing a clothing line inspired by my daughter. I’m doing a whole children’s line of cute, casual, comfortable clothes. I’m coming out with a book. It’s called Warning Signs about dating men in the business. Also, another thing that I’m doing, I’m coming out with a home line that’ll be in Target or Walmart – I want it to be affordable. It’ll be accessories for your home.”

The topic actually isn’t a bad idea, and if anyone should know those warning signs it should be Mimi. I’m just not convinced she’s actually learned them herself. Mimi was like the last person to catch a ride on the “Stevie is really playing you bus” and though she’s been talking a lot of tough game about being done with him, as one wise reader pointed out before, she keeps using their daughter as the reason she has to be around him instead of realizing it’s the reason she needs to be done. I guess until we see otherwise, we’ll just have to take her word for it that the two are finally over, for good.

“He’s Dad, I’m Mom,” she told the Jasmine Brand. “We co-parent and we’re cordial. We have to do business together as well.”

Check out the rest of the interview here, especially the part about how she and Stevie got on the show. What do you think about her book?

    Says the woman who stayed in a relationship with Stevie J for over 15 years…No thanks on the advice or the book hun.

  • dbatt001

    ha…no

  • princess

    Girl Bye! You couldnt give me advice on anything

  • NaturalHairLatina

    Smh. I have a better title “Warning sign of a DUMMY in Denial” Warning sign of the 7 year itch”

  • IllyPhilly

    Her relationship is amazing, I strive to achieve that kind of love and adoration from my man she has in Stevie J. I mean, he wipes sweat off of noses. I am singing up right now to buy her book after my singing lessons from Nikki Minaj.

    She needs to take care of the mess of garbage that she has got going on first. I agree ladies…that self esteem is low. Perhaps she should wait until she has made some PERMANENT and POSITIVE changes in her OWN romantic life before she starts dishing out advice.

    Maybe it’ll be in the comedy section cause that’s the only category she will get away with for that book. Gurl bye you can miss all of us with that, have a seat, take a nap, eat some pop corn, read a book, have a drink do what ever but PU-LEEZE save your self the embarrassment and don’t write that book.

  • Shaybaby

    Then her book should be titled “The Warning Signs of Dating Men in the Industry- And How to Ignore Them” cuz THEN she’d be considered an expert in that field… SMDH…

  • eyeconic1

    Imma need her to have a whole seat….on Stevie bus at that. Girl, bye. Get your life right! If you have common sense, and can see reality vs seeing something you want it to be, instead of creating false hope and looking at the person for who they are and not what you want them to be. Then she can give advice. Until then she need to take the advice she about to try to teach people. But, eveybody deserves to make a mistake and learn from it. I hope she moves on. She is a good person and a strong women. She deserves more than to be a passenger on his bus.

    It is a laugh. It is funny. I needed a laugh. This makes my day. If you are going to write a book on what signs on dating men in the industry, make you are not still involved with the person that is dogging you out. Not being dogged out and being disrespected and still continue to be with the guy. I won’t be buying this book. It will not be work my reading time. Mimi, please find a corner and sit down.

  • ncntrol

    i don’t even have to read the last three pages to know how this ends. How is anyone to respect what she has to say when she does not respect herself

  • realadulttalk

    I’m gonna buy this book right after I buy Kim Kardashian’s “How to Have a Successful Marriage” –WTH?!?!

    • Jud Jud

      Lol I know right #absolute shame

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/5544IOPYZGREW7M6VHJ6RYZ5WI hot.chocolate

    She needs to go rehabilitate her lady parts. A book??

  • REALTALK

    Everyone has a story and some of ya’ll women are so lonely and bitter you can’t see past your own!

    • Shirl

      We aren’t the ones writing the advice manual. We already know her story…

  • MsRedBone

    Smh…so you’re saying because she was continually cheated on and stayed (or didn’t who cares) now she can’t share her experience with whoever choses to spend their money on the book?? It’s not like the book is going to be WAY off in left field…it is about the warning signs which she knows all too well…It’s not like she’s writing a Girl You Dumb For Staying book..she’s writing a here are the warning signs I chose to ignore…what’s wrong with that? Everyone else is cashing in so why can’t she??

    • Kells

      Yes, pretty much. Thats like taking financial advice from someone who has filed bankruptcy as many times as she allowed Stevie J to walk all over her

      • Native_Noir

        WORD!

      • MsRedBone

        That is not the same thing. Not knowing how to manage money is not the same as ignoring signs of cheating. She is in a PERFECT situation to tell women how men in the industry are. What position are you in?

        • JaneDoe

          Lmao, you totally missed the point

          • MsRedBone

            OK JaneDoe..I got her point..now get mine. She knows what its like to be cheated on and thats what the f the book is about! Its not about how NOT to be cheated on but what the F the SIGNS ARE! Ya’ll some hatin @ss people…

            • JaneDoe

              Far from a hater. Just have more common sense. Someone who allowed themself to be treated like garbage on tv by not only the man but the man and his woman can’t say too much to hold my interest. If Mimi is so appealing to you to the point where your using profanity on a blog site by all means support.
              One more thing. It doesn’t take a genious to notice signs. The signs are always there. Its a fool who chooses to ignore the signs and continue on with a relationship

              • MsRedBone

                You are a hater! She cashing in on her OWN stupidity! Steve Harvey shouldn’t have had to tell ya’ll dumb broads how to Think Like A Man buy EVERY black woman flocked to get his book and watch his movie! All I said was she is doing what EVERYONE in reality tv is doing so quit HATING! I’m support MY thoughts NOT Mimis!!

                • JaneDoe

                  Ya’ll?????? I don’t pay Steve Harvey any mind and I am sho nuff about to do the same to you… More power to Mimi. She is a business woman. Why would I hate on that. I will however give a side eye to that damn book tho. Good day

                • sheena

                  Now you might have had a point up until here. she’s cashing in on her own stupidity? Huh? Wtf?

              • realadulttalk

                And Mimi is that fool!! Even Joseline was trying to teach her the game (while clowning her for being played). How’s she gonna teach the game when she’s consistently been gamed on…by a ferret no less!!

                • JaneDoe

                  Exactly…

            • realadulttalk

              Lmao–hating b/c we have opinions that are not yours? Very mature stance!

          • NatiGirl

            Someone who has filed bankruptcy as many times as she allowed Stevie J to walk all over her can tell you what the hell NOT to do so you don’t end up like them…ijs

            • JaneDoe

              Only a fool listens to a fool.. Sorry

              • NatiGirl

                I wasn’t say listen to the fool I was just saying she’ll have something to ramble about. I won’t be reading it, but I’m sure someone will

              • Sheena

                Lmao..thank you!!!!!

            • Shirl

              You should only have to file for bankruptcy once to know what not to do next time..just my opinion.

    • realadulttalk

      Seriously–how do you write a book on warning signs someone else had to tell you about?

    • Patricia

      She definitely need to write “Girl You Dumb for Staying Book. Since she is still with the man that constantly disrespecting her.

  • Dee

    This is like someone that cannot sing judging a singing competition…oh that already happened, never mind.

    • Native_Noir

      BWAHAAHAHAHAHHA! OMG yall are cracking me up on here. Too funny but so true.

  • Kells

    Mimi’s low self esteems having a** is trying to give other women advice on dating. Chile bye. I wouldn’t even read the back

    • Chelsey

      Touche. This topic is so redundant and unoriginal. I doubt she could come up with anything we haven’t already heard before. I actually feel sorry for her. Like, she can’t be serious and I feel like someone in her camp should really be honest with her. I won’t read or buy the book anyway so my opinion is just that, an opinion. But it’s so annoying when these reality stars decide they want to write books about their lives or on self-help when they made a fool of themselves on their shows diminishing any ounce of credibility.

  • Meyaka

    Will the sequel be about the dumb women who stay with them? And will it be co-written by Emily B, Kimbella and karatak tran?

    • Pretty1908

      ha !

    • Native_Noir

      #DEAD @ karatak tran! COMEDY!!!
