Stevie J and Benzino have found themselves at odds in the past, but after their brutal fight with each other at the most recent “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” reunion, it seems like the two brothers have finally reached the point of no return and killed their friendship. Now, Stevie’s ex-girlfriend, Mimi Faust, is weighing in on the matter, and explained why she thinks Benzino really was Stevie’s best friend.
In an interview with Sister 2 Sister, Faust discusses Benzino’s attempts to expose Joseline Hernandez’s alleged infidelity to Stevie as well as his many attempts to get his friend to leave her.
“I think Benzino really had his friend’s best interest at heart and he was trying to look out for him, whether he went about it the right way or not, that’s a matter of opinion,” Faust said.
One of those questionable moments includes a scene from a recent episode in which Benzino spoke with Hernandez’s driver, who claimed that he slept with the Puerto Rican Princess and drove her to other men’s homes while Stevie was away.
Although the scene was obviously embarrassing, Faust says that Benzino was simply trying to free Stevie from an unhealthy relationship.
“He really was like, ‘This person in your life is causing havoc and wreaking havoc with everyone else in your life on purpose,’” said Faust. “He was trying to get him to understand.”
As we all know, Stevie didn’t understand and his friendship with Benzino was violently torn apart over their beef about Hernandez, among other things. – nicholas robinson
