Who is Karlie Redd’s ex-husband Teleau Belton? All we know as actress reportedly arrested over allegedly breaking into his home

In a latest update, Karlie Redd, the reality TV star known from Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, was arrested on April 22, 2025, in Atlanta. She was reportedly charged with first-degree burglary.

According to court documents obtained by The Shade Room on April 23, 2025, Redd broke into the house of her soon-to-be ex-husband, Teleau Belton, and stole the items. Following her arrest, the judge issued a no-contact order prohibiting Redd from having direct or indirect contact with Belton outside of legal proceedings. The court set Karlie’s bond at $15,000.

The report mentioned that they tied the knot last year and filed for divorce within six months. Their relationship became sour after a domestic violence incident in February 2025. According to the report in Hot New Hip Hop, the police arrested Belton for causing “physical harm to Karlie Lewis by striking her in the chin with a closed fist.” He paid off a $2000 bond for pretrial release on February 25.

Belton is the founder, CEO, and executive producer of Now Thats TV Network, a company that produces shows such as Dejavu Miami, The Academy, Big Lex Baddie Collection, and Coming Up LA, as noted on his IMDb profile page.

In March, a judge ruled that Belton would have to provide Redd with $18,537.50 in financial support on the 15th of every month, as per a report in The Shade Room. Redd’s recent arrest has drawn attention to her personal life.
