‘We Were Rooting for You’: ‘LHHATL’ Star Karlie Redd Gains Sympathy of Fans After Having Miscarriage and Calling Off Engagement

Things seemed to be looking up for “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Karlie Redd‘s until disaster struck.

Redd learned during this week’s episode that her fiancé Maurice “Mo” Fayne, had a child with another woman that he failed to tell her about. He claimed to have had sexual relations with the woman prior to meeting Redd and had no idea about the child until months after he proposed to her.

“I have respected you and never cheated on you in no form or fashion,” Fayne told Redd.

He did however confess to his fiancée that he’d given the mother of his child his phone number, but refused to talk with her over the phone. He only communicated with her via text that way Redd supposedly could read all of their discussions.

Redd apparently wasn’t buying it and was more so upset that her fiancé didn’t tell her about the situation. Not to mention, she lost their child amid their In Vitro Fertilization, where an egg is combined with sperm outside the body process.

She called off the engagement with Fayne, telling him to go be with his ex-girlfriend and their infant son.

Several “LHHATL” fans felt bad for Redd, saying they were cheering her and Fayne on.

“I feel for Karlie man.. We were rooting for you! I love her and her fiance ❤️ he’s a grown man #karlieredd better not let that damn man go 😞. God is testing you sus 🙏 I got the same test and failed. Good luck 👍.”

“Really hate she had this tragedy. Their relationship can work if they truly love each other. He didnt cheat, it was in the past. An outside baby is a doable challenge to overcome. Hopefully they work past this!”

“Karlie don’t deserve this ! She’s a Good Woman, who is dealing with a miscarriage 😞 & ..it’s NOT RIGHT the way he treated this situation !”

Other fans felt Redd acted too quick when ending her engagement with Fayne.

“She pissed me off she didn’t even give him a chance and it seem like he was telling the truth! Hell he’s the only 1 who was really truly looking out for her ass 😖.”

“He really loves her and in his mind he wanted to make sure the child was his before telling her. They can work it out if she apologizes 🤷🏾‍♀️.”

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.
