The long-running tension between Mimi Faust and K. Michelle is back in the spotlight after Faust delivered some blunt comments about her former Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta castmate during a recent appearance on The Morning Hustle.
When asked about K. Michelle's current run on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Faust made it clear that her opinion of the singer hasn't changed over the years. "Absolutely not. Not an ounce," Faust said when asked whether she believes K. Michelle has grown since their time together on reality television. "Same person, different face. She's a bully and then plays the victim. That's Kay. She bully, bully, bullies people, and then she'll turn around and cry, cry, cry and play the victim."
Faust said she reached that conclusion years ago during their time on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta and never looked back.
"When I figured out who she was, I was like, I want no parts of this person," she said.
The comments arrive as K. Michelle continues to generate headlines during her first season on RHOA. In recent episodes, the singer accused some of her castmates of orchestrating a "plot" against her and attempting to spread damaging rumors behind the scenes.
She also claimed certain women were using old allegations and jokes to create storylines at her expense.
The latest criticism also comes amid a particularly busy media cycle for K. Michelle. Beyond her RHOA feuds, she recently made headlines for confirming that she once had a romantic relationship with R. Kelly and for declaring that she has no interest in collaborating with Bravo-affiliated singers because she is already "super successful."
Faust, meanwhile, has largely stayed away from reality television drama in recent years. During the same interview, she discussed her skincare business, co-parenting, and plans for a YouTube series focused on her life after reality TV. But when K. Michelle's name came up, she didn't hesitate.
"I think it's cute that she keeps talking about me," Faust said. "It's real cute."
