Reality TV star, Karlie Redd has opened up about her recent arrest. The 52 year old Love and Hip-hop star was arrested after police reports claim that she broke into her ex – husband’s house and stole a watch, card and birth certificate. According to court documents, Karlie Lewis, known for her longtime role on VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,” was charged with burglary in the first degree. Video evidence cited in the affidavit reportedly shows Lewis in the garage, looking through a window and entering the property.
“As everyone knows, Karlie and her husband are in the midst of a divorce proceeding, and her husband has previously been charged in Fulton County with family violence battery against her,” Karlie Redd’s lawyer claimed in a statement. “I am very confident Karlie’s case will be resolved favorably.”
“Thank you for all your prayers [red heart emoji] support and concerns in my DM’s and text messages! Love y’all,” Karlie Redd responded to fans in an Instagram post, adding an additional but similar message on her IG Story. “Thank you for all your prayers [praying hands emoji] support & concerns! Much love to the ones putting prayer hands together for me! Love you.”
Karlie Redd is currently being represented by Steve Sadow, who also serves as legal counsel in President Donald Trump’s Georgia election interference case. Lewis turned herself in on April 23 and was released shortly after on a consent bond. No court date is currently listed on the public docket.
The judge ordered Lewis to stay away from the home she allegedly burglarized and to have no “direct or indirect” contact with Belton, her ex - husband except in matters related to their divorce, according to court documents obtained by The Shade Room and 11 Alive. Her bond was set at $15,000.
