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].”

 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
