Karlie Redd and her daughter once again have fans going crazy in a comments section as they notice the two look like the same person. 

On Nov. 9, Yandy Smith-Harris posted a group photo of herself with several ladies from the “Love and Hip Hop” franchise. The shot showed Joy Young and Trina from “Love and Hip Hop Miami,” Sierra, Bambi, and Momma Dee from “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta,” Apryl Jones and Paris Phillips from “Love and Hip Hop Hollywood,” Yandy from “Love and Hip Hop New York,” and on the left end stood Redd’s daughter, Jasmine Lewis. The ladies were all smiles as they squeezed together to take the picture. 

The caption said, “The sun ain’t the only thing shining…”

It’s not clear what the women were gathering for, but many fans are hoping that they are in talks about filming for the show again or maybe at least filming a “special,” as one fan suggested.

Although it’s been pointed out numerous times, fans were still taken aback by how much Redd and her daughter resemble each other. 

One fan wrote, “Chile, I thought I seen Karlie twice. That HAS to be her daughter, lol.”

Another said, “There’s Two Karlie’s”

Someone else added, “Talk about the way Karlie’s daughter is her carbon copy..the hell!!”

The mother and daughter are known to make fans do a double take. On June 25, Redd uploaded a photo of herself standing next to her daughter, who was in a squatting position as they both struck poses for the camera. 

Redd wore a pink buttoned-up blazer, a pink top hat, distressed jeans, and clear heels. By contrast, Ellis kept it casual, wearing a pink sweatshirt-and-sweatpants set and a pair of sneakers.  

The mother of one admitted that she and her daughter share a resemblance. 

She wrote in the caption, “I’m raising a boss! But She’s Really My Twin! Stay Tune!”

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.
