Mimi Faust has been extremely open about her life on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. However, you might not know the reality star survived Scientology and lost her mother in the process.

On an episode of Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, the reality star revealed her mother was a devoted member of Scientology's notorious Sea Organization. After Mimi refused to sign a “billion-year” contract, which would give them completely ownership of her life, she was kicked out, leaving her homeless at only 13. Mimi said, "They didn't give me one red cent, not even a $1.50 to take the bus, or a blanket. 'Here you go, go sleep on this park bench.' Nothing. And then they sent people up to escort me out of the building, a 13-year-old."

Mimi was homeless for years and at 17 she tried to visit her mom but members of the Sea Organization entered the room, trying to get her to sign the contract. "They close the door, lock it, and tape the contract to the door," Mimi explained. "And they're all surrounding me at the door, and they're chanting again. I just lost it. And after about a good 10 minutes of me going ape sh*t, they let me out." Very creepy. Sadly, Mimi’s mother was a member of the Sea Organization, where, it has been reported, workers are made to do menial labor from dawn to midnight every day for very little pay, until her death in 2003. Watch Mimi tell the story in the video below.
