Mimi's Adult Film, or That Time Y'all Pretended to Care about Other People's Kids.

(With my luck, this will be the one time my mother decides to read my blog.)

Mimi Faust, one of the major figures on VH1's "Love and Hip-Hop: Atlanta", recently released a preview to her Adult Film "Mimi & Nikko - Scandal in Atlanta (The Secret Sex Tape)".

Keep it 100 - This is the healthiest relationship he's ever had.
1)  If your "sex tape" has a computer generated title screen, it's not a sex tape.

2)  If your "sex tape"  has a preview build, it's not a sex tape.

3)  If your "sex tape"  has a "Vivid" logo in the bottom right (southeast for the nerds) corner,  IT'S NOT A SEX TAPE.

If only all the blac... nvm.
 Now that that's out of the way, let's talk about the internet's most prevalent reaction to the 45 second clip of Mimi and her costar Nikko (on screen love interest and alleged producer) going at it.  People are legit outraged that she would make an adult film, because "what kind of example would that set for her daughter?"  That's a load of crap if I've ever heard it, and here's why - the same people that are upset over her making a porno are the same people that watch her damn reality show!

If you haven't seen "Love and Hip-Hop", here's a very quick analysis.  Mimi has a child with Stevie J, former bad boy producer and public womanizer.  He has a relationship with his grossly untalented protege Joseline, and parades her around very publicly in front of Mimi, who he still pursues.  They've been on again, off again for over a decade because of his cheating ways, but she refuses to make a break, even going so far as to agree to a living situation with the both of them.  For the.. ahem... sake of her daughter.  The crux of the show is her yelling, and at times battering Stevie, while also placing misplaced anger toward Joseline, who owes her nothing.
Yup - this relationship was a GREAT example for the youth.
So people take issue with her having sex on camera for profit, but don't have the same issue with her being abusive and violent towards her daughter's father, and other women as well?  Hypothetical question - what would you rather explain to your child:  Why there's a video of you having sex on camera, or why for the entirety of your child's life you let her father take advantage of you physically and emotionally?  If you judge her actions on the standards of recurring problems against a single incident, it's really no contest!  But well, we also live in a society where a penis in a movie is considered more detrimental than a sword, gun, rocket launcher, lightsaber, and giant lizard monster, but I'm just talking here.
I know some of you ladies' history - if your daughters still love y'all, Mimi's gonna be good.
I'm not saying that performing in Adult Films is an ideal life choice for a mother, but it's certainly not the worst life decision she's made.  Probably not top 5.  So everyone that stepped in yesterday and played Auntie or Uncle, have fun watching her set an even worse example next season - but with her clothes on so you can qualify it.

P.S. - To each and every woman that saw that clip and said "she's not even doing anything special" you are either a liar, or making some young man very, very happy.  And asking if "Yeezy taught you."
