Mimi Says Eva Has Known “Everything” For A Long Time
In the teaser clip from Carlos King, Mimi Faust said that her 17-year-old knows “everything.” This seemingly includes the bombshell reveal of a sex tape with her ex-boyfriend Nikko on the show. Faust said she “absolutely” regrets bringing him on ‘Love & Hip Hop.’
“I 1000% regret, I regret that whole…I regret meeting Nikko. That whole situation. If there was one of those big do-over buttons…it would be him….Because with him came a lot of very bad decisions I can’t take back,” Mimi Faust said, confirming the sex tape is one regret.
Faust also said she felt manipulation was a part of the tape, but also her being naive and gullible. “It was a lot of factors to go along with that situation,” Mimi said. As for Eva, the mom said she “already knew” and that she’s known since she was about 11 or 12 when she found out. Mimi said her daughter learned about the tape from friends and other kids who had watched ‘LHHATL’ and said something to Eva about it. Her daughter never brought it up.
“She kept it to herself. She never said anything,” Faust said, saying that she kept putting off the conversation thinking it wasn’t the right time. When Mimi finally brought it up, Eva was 13 and already knew.
“That was a crazy moment…” Mimi said, adding that she should’ve known the show was big enough that Eva would find out eventually.
