Mimi Faust is making one thing crystal clear — when it comes to her daughter, there are no compromises. The Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star recently opened up about where she stands regarding Joseline Hernandez, and her message couldn’t be more direct: her child will not be around Joseline under any circumstances.
For Mimi, this isn’t about old reality TV drama or unresolved beef. It’s about protection. It’s about boundaries. And most importantly, it’s about motherhood.
Mimi explained that while her daughter does have a biological connection to Joseline’s child, Bonnie Bella, any relationship between the two will have to wait. In her words, her daughter can decide for herself when she’s older. Right now, Mimi’s focus is on shielding her child from what she describes as “certain energies” she simply doesn’t want near her daughter during these formative years.
That stance extends beyond words — it shapes her actions.
Mimi revealed that she closely monitors everything when her daughter is in Stevie J’s care. Not because she doesn’t trust him as a father, but because she feels it’s her responsibility to stay aware of who and what her child is exposed to. “I don’t want my child around certain things,” she said plainly, leaving little room for interpretation.
For longtime LHHATL viewers, this hard line may not come as a shock. Mimi and Joseline’s history is complicated, volatile, and deeply personal. Their relationship has been marked by conflict, public fallouts, and emotional tension that played out in front of millions. But what’s notable now is how firmly Mimi has closed the door — not just on reconciliation, but on coexistence.
Mimi made it clear that she will never sit down with Joseline. There are no peace talks coming. No blended-family moments. No camera-ready reconciliation scene. “We are not friends,” she emphasized. “And we never will be.”
That statement alone has sparked intense debate online. Some fans applaud Mimi for prioritizing her child and refusing to force uncomfortable situations in the name of appearances. Others question whether keeping siblings apart is fair. But Mimi’s position is unwavering: her job as a mother comes first, and she refuses to gamble with her child’s emotional or mental well-being.
What makes Mimi’s perspective resonate with many parents is its realism. She isn’t pretending that every adult situation can be smoothed over with maturity or time. She acknowledges that some relationships are simply unhealthy — and that children shouldn’t be placed in the middle of unresolved conflict just to satisfy outsiders’ expectations.
Importantly, Mimi has never suggested that her daughter will be kept from her sister forever. She’s left the door open for the future — on her daughter’s terms, when she’s old enough to understand the dynamics and make her own choices. Until then, Mimi believes distance is the healthiest option.
In a reality TV world where drama is often rewarded and boundaries are blurred for entertainment, Mimi’s stance feels almost radical. She’s choosing calm over chaos. Protection over performance. Parenting over public opinion.
And while the internet may continue to debate her choices, Mimi seems unbothered. Her message is simple and firm: not everyone deserves access to your child, and being biologically connected doesn’t automatically earn trust.
At the end of the day, this isn’t about Joseline. It’s about Mimi being in full mom mode — doing what she believes is best, even if it makes people uncomfortable.
Because for Mimi Faust, some lines aren’t meant to be crossed — and when it comes to her daughter, that line is permanent. 🖤
