Mariah Huq Skewered for ‘Fake Ass’ Apology to Dr. Heavenly’s Husband Over Cheating Allegations

Mariah Huq issued what was meant to be a heartfelt apology to Dr. Heavenly Kimes’ husband on “Married to Medicine” Saturday, but fans were unconvinced of her sincerity.

Two months before the trip, Huq exclaimed that she had receipts that Dr. Heavenly’s husband, Damon Kimes, hadn’t been faithful when Huq and the dentist had a heated argument.

“I want to personally apologize to you,” Huq says. “Because, believe it or not, I respect you, bruh, more than you will ever know. And I shouldn’t spread anything — that’s not what I’m about. I’m not about tearing down families. And the fact that I became that, it’s disappointing to me.

“You never have to worry about that from me ever again because that’s not who I am,” she concluded. “So, I hope you accept my apology.”

Huq added in a confessional scene that whatever Kimes does outside of his home doesn’t concern her.

While Kimes said he accepted “100 percent,” viewers weren’t feeling the same way.

“I’m done with Mariah on #MarriedToMedicine and I almost did an all-CAPS rant about her ✌🏼apology✌🏼 … #M2M #MarriedToMedicine I mean… she’s not even saying she’s lied!! She just said that wasn’t her place. AND WHY’D SHE BREAK A GLASS.”

“Let’s see how far Mariah’s apology goes… #Married2Med #marriedtomedicine.”

“Mariah is so shady. She apologized to Damon to his face but implicated him in her confessional.#Married2Med #MarriedToMed #marriedtomedicine.”

“See this is exactly why they don’t f— with Mariah. She gon give that fake ass apology to Damon, then shade him in her confessionals by insinuating that he did cheat, right AFTER she said she’s not about dividing families. F—ing lair. #MarriedToMedicine #Married2Med.”

“Mariah will always be Shady AF Mariah. Even with an apology, she’s still alluding to Damon having affairs. #MarriedToMed #Married2Med #marriedtomedicine.”

Still, there were some fans who felt the apology was enough.

“Wow Mariah that’s big of you apologizing to damon #MarriedToMedicine #Married2med.”

“Mariah apologizeDDDDDDDD to Damon. Okay back to a regularly scheduled program. #MarriedtoMedicine #Married2Med.”

“Finally Mariah took gives a genuine apology. Good job Mariah. #marriedtomedicine.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
