The Big Controversy About Karlie Redd's Age

As fans of "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" will know, Karlie Redd always refused to reveal how old she was. Castmates and viewers alike tried to guess her age, with some speculating that she was in her early 40s when she first appeared on the show. K. Michelle, for example, said Karlie was 40 years old in their 2012 infamous "shaking the table" scene. Later, during the Season 1 reunion special, K. Michelle even accused her of having a grown daughter. 

Fans even spotted Karlie in a scene of the 1997 movie "B*A*P*S," leading many to believe she was at least 18 when the film came out. "WAIT. A. MINUTE. Karlie Redd really was in BAPS. Ok so theoretically, if she was 18 in BAPS she could be 38 now," a fan speculated in 2017. Karlie's age was so buzzworthy that her age kept changing on Google. "Hackers keep changing my age on Google they are working on it," Karlie told a fan who asked if she was really 50 years old (via The Shade Room).

Hackers or not, Karlie never seemed to be bothered by all the drama surrounding her age. "I don't care what anybody says," Karlie told Chicago's 107.5 (per IBT). "As long as I look good and feel good I'm not tripping about what nobody has to say." However, in 2019, the Trinidadian beauty decided to reveal her real age ... though she later regretted it.
