AceShowbiz - Joseline Hernandez appears to make fun of the unfortunate things that happened to fellow "LHH" star Mimi Faust. Mimi recently revealed in a new interview that VH1 decided to cut her salary as it deemed that she had no interesting drama for the storylines.
Joseline, who used to feud with Mimi after when she dated Mimi's baby daddy Stevie J, apparently caught wind of the interview and quickly reacted to it. Writing in an Instagram comment, she said, "Come join joselines cabaret baby!!!!!" referring to her Zeus show "Joseline's Cabaret". Mimi has yet to respond to the remarks.
That arrived after Mimi explained the salary decrease during an appearance on Stacii Jae Johnson's YouTube series "Love Rants". "I think the show has kind of switched gears a little bit. A lot actually, and I've elevated and grown from the BS I was in. And I'm happy and nobody wants to see the happy on 'Love And Hip Hop'. They just don't," she said.
She continued, " 'Love And Hip Hop' is not a happy arena. They want to see wigs flying and drinks thrown and somebody punching somebody in the face. That's what they want to see. And unfortunately, I choose not to participate in that and I've had to take a major pay cut because of it."
"The reason was, I didn't have enough 'drama' in my life. $150,000 I had to take because of it. $150,000 pay cut," so Mimi added.
The producers suggested her to create some drama with her boyfriend Ty Young, though they refursed to do so. "On my last interview, because you know, every season, we have to go back and talk to the producers and they're like, 'So what's going on in your life? X, Y, and Z.' And I think the second question I was asked was, was Ty cheating on me," Mimi opened up.
"[It] was the second question the producers asked in my meeting. I was like, 'Are you serious?' Am I supposed to be f***ed up, in a bad place, being cheated on my whole life? At what point am I allowed to grow and be happy and be okay and be good? Why do I have to consistently be cheated on every relationship that I'm in?" she shared.
Mimi went on to say, "But that's what they want. And they were like, you either find some drama, find some drama or…you better go find some drama. I wasn't willing to do that. I wasn't willing to put my relationship in that place because if you bring BS to the table, you brought BS to your table. My girlfriend's not with it. She's not with, 'Oh let's play and act like,' she's not that girl. So that wasn't an option for me, to act like she's cheating on me or I'm cheating on her, for TV. We not doing that, so I took a pay cut."
Mimi then hinted at the possibility of her exiting the show, saying, 'Honestly, I don’t even feel like I belong on the show anymore." Mimi continued, "I feel like a total outcast and an alien because I don't even know what's going on. What are we fighting about? That's why I just sit there because I'm like, what? When I was going through my s**t, I was really going through some s**t for real. Really real. It was a f***ed up situation. Today they're fighting over who's the queen of Atlanta. What? I don't understand, so I'm not going to get involved. I just don't get it."
