“Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Mimi Faust and her boyfriend Nikko Smith (NOT to be confused with St. Louis native and American Idol finalist of the same name) reportedly pocketed $100,000 from Vivid Entertainment for their sex tape.
According to HollywoodLife.com, multiple outlets were bidding for the footage, but Vivid’s offer topped them all.
“Mimi is trying to make a name for herself and become relevant,” a source told HollywoodLife.com. “She’s riding this new wave of fame until it ends. She did it for the money and from what I’m hearing she cashed in about 100 racks.”
Vivid Entertainment founder Steve Hirsch also spoke about his decision to buy and distribute the tape.
“We were approached by a third party to release the tape. I wasn’t familiar with Mimi and Nikko or Love and Hip Hop Atlanta,” Hirsch said. “After doing some research, I realized just how big both the show and the tape could be. It was a struggle to ultimately get the deal done but we did.”
Meanwhile, MiMi’s nemesis and Love and Hip-hop ATL co-star Joseline Hernandez blasts Faust for her “performance.”
“…at least be a freak and not a boring 45 year old lady,” Hernandez tweeted. “What they got her [categorized] under…Granny Porn?”
