Is Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’s Mimi Faust a lesbian? Talk of Stevie J’s baby-mama Mimi Faust being interested in girls as well as guys have been floating around for years. But, the shock value was still pretty strong when Mimi Faust introduced her new “boo” Chris during the Season 5 premiere of Love & Hip Hop this month – and it turns out Chris’s real name is Christina.
Obviously, Mimi’s friends and family, as well as Love & Hip Hop fans at home, were shocked by the big news. But, the shock was automatically followed by utter confusion. Yes, Mimi Faust is dating a woman named Chris, who is actually named Christina. However, if you ask Mimi and Chris, they are absolutely not lesbians.
So is Mimi Faust a lesbian or not? Well, Mimi tried to set the record straight in Episode 2 of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta this week. Faust explained to her BFF Ariane that she is not technically a lesbian – because Chris is not technically a woman. As far as Mimi is concerned, she is still straight and only attracted to men, but Chris is basically a man.
Don’t get is confused though, Chris is nothing like newcomer D. Smith who is in the process of becoming a man. Chris is going to keep her female body parts – she just “identifies as male.” Yeah, we can see why everyone at home is a bit baffled by Mimi’s new relationship. Hopefully this sheds some light on the situation.
So, in conclusion, Mimi Faust is not gay, because her boo Chris identifies as a man – in a woman’s body. What do you think of Mimi’s shocking and confusing new relationship? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
