Reality television star Karlie Redd, known for her role on Love & Hip Hop, is set to receive temporary spousal support following her recent divorce from Teleau Belton, the founder of NowThatsTV. This update comes in the wake of a court hearing held on March 13, 2025.
While Redd, whose estimated net worth stands at $1 million according to Celebrity Net Worth, has yet to make an official announcement regarding her separation, legal documents related to the case were disclosed by the entertainment site Onsite! on April 1, 2025.
The court ruling specifies that Redd is entitled to receive temporary spousal support amounting to $18,537.50 each month, with payments commencing on the 15th of March 2025. In an additional directive, Belton has been instructed by the court to cease all forms of contact with Redd, according to reports from Onsite!
This legal matter follows a prior incident involving Belton, who was taken into custody in February 2025 on charges of simple battery related to domestic violence. Reports indicate he was arrested after allegedly striking Redd during an argument about her late arrival home. Following the incident, he was released on a $2,000 bond.
The confrontation reportedly escalated when Redd questioned Belton’s whereabouts upon his return, leading to physical altercations that included him throwing her cellphones. Despite her initial reluctance to involve law enforcement, Redd proceeded to file a complaint upon her attorney’s advice.

A native of New York City, Karlie Redd has cultivated a substantial fanbase through her multifaceted career as an actress, rapper, and model. She is best recognized for her long-standing role on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, which began airing in June 2012.
In a recent interview with Brown Style magazine, Redd reflected on how she navigates the challenges of fame while striving to protect her family from its pitfalls. She stated:
“Well, my family are not believers in the whole social media thing. Most of my family are in the medical field, so they don’t care for it. They are doctors and nurses and their focus is on helping people. I also love helping people. When I travel, I go to homeless shelters or foster care homes to see how I can help the best.”
In addition to her television career, Redd has appeared in several films, including Black Spring Break 2, Top Five, 30 Days in Atlanta, and We Are Family. She made waves in the music industry with her single “A Girl Has Needs,”which achieved notable success on the iTunes charts in 2012.
In a candid conversation with BET in September 2022, Redd spoke about the challenges she faced in producing her music, highlighting her determination to succeed despite setbacks:
“It just felt like damn, Karlie! Like everything that you work so hard for, everything that people said you couldn’t do–you did it… Yes, it took me longer than everybody else, but at least I can say before I left this earth, I did everything I said I would do.”
Her versatility in the entertainment industry extends beyond reality television. Redd previously showcased her talent in the VH1 reality series Scream Queens and played the role of Paige Morris in Bounce TV’s Saints & Sinners. She has also appeared in the main cast of Love & Hip Hop: Secrets Unlocked and made guest appearances on various spin-offs of the Love & Hip Hop franchise.
