Her Age is a Mystery
Her exact age remains a matter of controversy. During her appearance on Love and Hip-Hop: Atlanta, other cast members publicly disputed her claims of being in her twenties.
In 2015, she appeared in a photo essay for Playboy magazine. At that time, she stated in the accompanying interview that she was 37, meaning that she had to have been born in 1978.
She continues to give conflicting answers about her actual birth date, stating, “I never tell my age.”
During a Love and Hip-Hop: Reunion show, Redd was again pressed about her age. The show included a segment where Redd’s longtime rival Michelle K suggested that Redd had marched with Dr. Martin Luther King.
The line got a lot of laughs, but it didn’t prompt a final answer from Redd about her age.
Many people are puzzled by the secrecy, because Redd is very attractive. As the celebrity site gossiponthis.com noted, she should embrace being a good-looking older woman.
