Almost nobody believed Mimi Faust when she claimed the sex tape was "leaked" last year after it was lost in luggage on a trip. But she stuck with the story for quite awhile, getting all upset when people doubted her.
Then her story shifted over time. She eventually admitted that some of tape was ultimately "seasoned" by Vivid Entertainment. She said she felt pressured by stanky Nikko Smith to do so. Nikko's wife Margeaux believed Nikko's latest twist that it was really Mimi running the show.
Tonight, Mimi finally decided to come clean: she told her ex Stevie J that she and Nikko had done a private sex tape, then Nikko suggested they shop it around. So they did this together and created that lame cover story. Ultimately, Nikko chose to take the heat while Mimi played "victim." They made a ton of money off of it but eventually, she and Nikko split up.
Shockingly, when Mim told him, Stevie J truly played the "good guy" and treated her revelation with respect and a truly forgiving nature. During the after show, he said he learned the art of zen from rehab.
Mimi went to Margeaux's art party, where Mimi's best friend Ariane decided to be a model, where she was naked but "painted on." Mimi was kind of peeved Ariane was working with the "enemy." But she was heartened by Stevie J's reception and also came clean with Margeaux. Margeaux was only mildly annoyed; she felt her revelations forced Mimi to be honest.
But Ariane overheard and was truly upset. Mimi lied to Ariane for more than a year. She was shocked and betrayed. Mimi was not nearly as contrite as she probably wanted to be. She got a wee bit defensive when Ariane got angry and they got into each other's face. But they didn't come to physical blows. Ariane decided to just walk away, a smart move. This was a serious breach of trust on Mimi's part. It may take awhile for Ariane to get over it.
Margeaux later approaches Nikko and decides they should separate, much to his surprise.
In other story lines:
- Negativo? Yung Joc meets up again with Khadiyah, who had kicked him out in a huff last week over his flirtations with his baby mama Sina. She said she thinks she might be pregnant with his ninth child and become his fifth baby mam. But in the end, her results came in negative, much to Yung Joc's barely concealed relief.
- Let's get married! Ernest, fresh out of prison, proposed to Mama Dee at church for real with an engagement ring after informing her son Lil Scrappy. Scrappy is mildly suspicious but supports them as long as she's happy. She seems to be. Earlier, Ernest had given her a cheap promise ring. This time, he spent a bit more for a real one. How is making money? He doesn't say.
- Nightclub ownership is not good for marriages. Tony Vick spent $75,000 of his savings on a nightclub and his wife Kalenna is barely supportive. When he doesn't bother getting in touch with her and comes home at 10 a.m., she gets super angry, understandably so considering how defensive Tony gets. She shows up anyway to a party featuring Joseline and Stevie J on stage but still isn't happy. We see her bitch to Rasheeda while Tony complains to Stevie J about Kaleena.
