Written by 96motero on October 24, 2025

The streets are talking, and it looks like one of Atlanta’s most talked-about reality stars just caught a major break! After months of headlines and heavy speculation, burglary charges against ‘Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta’ OG Karlie Redd have officially been dropped. Yep, you read that right — dropped.

Karlie Redd Beats The Case
According to reports, DeKalb County prosecutors signed off on a “nolle prosequi” order, which basically means the state decided not to move forward with the case. Karlie’s lawyer, Steve Sadow, also confirmed on X that the case was “dismissed.” Steve shared that while there was “probable cause,” prosecutors didn’t believe they could prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. Translation: case closed, sis is walking free.
As previously reported, the reality star — government name Karlie Lewis — was detained in Atlanta back in April after allegedly stepping onto private property and taking a few personal items. Reports say the spot belonged to her estranged hubby, Teleau Davinci Belton, who she secretly tied the knot with last year after a whirlwind engagement. A judge quickly hit her with a no-contact order and told her to stay away, while Karlie faced a first-degree burglary charge and reportedly bonded out on $15,000.

Karlie Sets The Record Straight
Now here’s where it gets even messier — Karlie says the whole ordeal stemmed from her ongoing divorce drama. In a statement, she made it clear she’s standing firm on her innocence:
“…I was never guilty of the allegations made against me. These claims were completely untrue, and I was unfairly targeted by false statements made by my ex-husband.”
Additionally, Karlie also took a moment to thank her family, friends, and legal team for riding with her through the storm. And if you know anything about the ‘Love & Hip Hop’ veteran, you know she’s not letting this slow her down. The reality TV staple — one of the only three cast members to appear in every single season since ‘LHHATL’ launched back in 2012 — says she’s now focused on healing and helping others.
“My focus now is on continuing my work, advocating for survivors, and moving forward with strength and grace.”
The TL Goes Up For Karlie Redd
As soon as the news broke, Karlie’s comments section turned into a full-blown celebration! Fans flooded her latest Instagram post with love and “congrats” messages, calling her a true ‘Love & Hip Hop’ survivor and saying this win was long overdue. Many even joked that “the Lord don’t play about our L&HH queen,” reminding everyone that Karlie Redd stays protected and unbothered through it all.
