Mimi Faust’s Response to Ex Stevie J’s Marriage to Faith Evans Has Some Fans Wondering If She’s Still Hurt

Mimi Faust is chatting about her daughters father Stevie J’s surprise marriage to singer Faith Evans and she even offered up a shady congratulatory message after expressing initial disbelief.

“Wait, is that real?” she asks Freddy O on July 19. “I don’t know. I saw it on the blogs. Listen, you can’t believe everything you read on the blogs. Is it real? I don’t know s—.

“Listen, if it’s real, congratulations to the both of them. Faith, Stevie congratulations,” she continued before throwing a little shade. “Faith, I don’t know what’s going on. I think I need to give you a pair of my glasses because you need to read the contract thoroughly.”

After proceeding to put on a pair of eyewear from her new glasses line, she told Evans to “read that marriage certificate or whatever pre-nup he wants … I don’t know what he asked you to sign but read it thoroughly. Imma gift you some glasses for free.”

Fans who viewed the interview quickly sounded off on Faust’s remarks.

“[Mimi] lookin’ cute, but please pass Faith them glasses!!! 😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♀️.”

“Mimi is a great actress. She always acts as if everything is ok.”

“She hurt on the low.”

“Mimi handled that so well. You can tell her ex has no control over her! Take notes ladies and get some of them glasses.”

Faust had a drama-filled long-time relationship with Stevie that resulted in the birth of their daughter, Eva, had a beef with former LHHATL co-star Joseline Hernandez when a love triangle erupted. So her caution to Evans likely stems from that experience.

Meanwhile, Stevie and Evans stunned fans after announcing last week they had a quickie wedding in Las Vegas July 17.

“#Love Wins,” Evans said on social media as she shared a photo of herself with Stevie. Her new husband, whose real name is Steven Jordan, retweeted the photo with a caption of his own that read, “The Jordan’s [sic].”

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
