Mimi Faust Says Stevie J Cannot Take Their Daughter
Georgia Police have arrested Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star Stevie J after he failed to make child support payments for two of his children living in New York.
Just in time for Father's Day, Stevie J was hit with back payments of $1,107,412, according to TMZ. Stevie J was originally ordered to $6,000 a month. It was then bumped up to a $8,500 monthly payment. The reality villain stopped making payments back in 2001. Raw footage shows Stevie J leaving his Atlanta mansion and being handcuffed by one officer while three others waited outside.

He sported a casual look as he headed off to jail with a red t-shirt and blue jeans.
The mother of Stevie J's two New York children, Carol Antoinette Bennett garnered the help of Project Child Support. The organization's founder, Kai D. Patterson, recently disclosed that they have been pursuing Stevie J adamantly.
"Each time Mr. Jordan fails to appear, he enables Project Child Support to request what we need to eventually seize his assets to pay the arrears and fees if he is unwilling to do so, without his opposition. Now that we can issue subpoenas through a court order, we will aggressively begin to issue subpoenas prior to our next scheduled court date."
Stevie J's ex, mother of his daughter Eva and Love & Hip Hop Atlanta co-star Mimi Faust still has yet to publicly comment on the arrest. However, she has mentioned previously that Stevie J does not take care of their daughter as well.
When discussing Stevie J's criticism of her sex tape scandal, Faust said, "At least I will be able to take care of my child, in some form or fashion, and pay my bills. Stevie J does not help me with Eva, at all."
As of now, his rumored wife Joseline Hernandez has not broken her silence yet either. But the couple was supposed to celebrate Father's Day hosting a party together in New Orleans. The aspiring singer posted a picture on Instagram of a flier that revealed they were supposed to be at the Masquerade Night Club.
