The Breakdown: Karlie Redd was booked in Georgia after a wild run-in with her estranged husband, Teleau "T Davinci" Belton, and the streets have been buzzing ever since.
Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star Karlie Redd just found herself in some real-life mess. According to police reports, the reality TV vet was arrested late Friday night after a domestic situation with her estranged husband that allegedly got out of hand.
Karlie first hit our screens in 2012, stepping onto the scene with big dreams and even bigger drama. Back then, she was all about her music hustle, but it wasn’t just her tracks that had people tuned in. Early on, she locked horns with K. Michelle, and that beef set the tone for the messy magic Karlie brought every season. Over time, Karlie transitioned from music to entrepreneurship, launching ventures like the Redd Remy hairline and Merci Boutique.
Karlie's personal life has been a rollercoaster, often playing out in front of the cameras. Her relationships with Benzino, Yung Joc, Lyfe Jennings, and Arkansas Mo have been central storylines.
Now, she’s facing serious trouble. The reality star was arrested in April and charged with burglary.
Karlie Redd could face time in jail following her arrest.
Karlie was booked into DeKalb County Jail on April 23, according to 11 Alive. The arrest stems from an alleged incident involving her estranged husband, Teleau "T Davinci" Belton. According to court documents, Karlie, whose legal name is Karlie Lewis, allegedly entered T Davinci’s home without permission and took personal items, including a birth certificate, a watch, and a card. Karlie ultimately turned herself in and was released the same day on a $15,000 bond.
A judge has ordered her to stay away from Belton and the property in question, with no direct or indirect contact permitted outside of legal proceedings related to their ongoing divorce. Karlie’s attorney, Steve Sadow, expressed confidence in a favorable resolution for his client.
“The warrant taken out on April 4 alleges Karlie’s husband is the claimed ‘victim.’ As everyone knows, Karlie and her husband are in the midst of a divorce proceeding, and her husband has previously been charged in Fulton County with family violence battery against her,” Sadow said in a statement. “I am very confident Karlie’s case will be resolved favorably.”
The couple's relationship has been tumultuous, with a domestic incident reported in February leading to T Davinci’s arrest on charges of family violence battery against Karlie. Subsequently, Karlie was awarded over $18,000 per month in temporary spousal support, according to The Shade Room.
Karlie Redd’s divorce from T Davinci has been tumultuous from the start.
Karlie and Teleau secretly tied the knot in 2024, a revelation that surprised fans and co-stars. However, the honeymoon phase was short-lived. By early 2025, their relationship had deteriorated, culminating in a domestic incident in February. He was charged with simple battery and released on a $2,000 bond.
Meanwhile, Karlie has remained relatively silent on the matter. She shared a statement from her attorney following her April 23 booking, and she also thanked fans for their support via social media. “Thank you for all your prayers, support, and concerns in my DMs and text messages! Love y’all,” she wrote.
