One of the most recognizable faces on reality TV was briefly held behind bars in the Atlanta area this week.
Karlie Redd, whose legal name is Karlie Lewis, was charged with burglary and booked into DeKalb County Jail on April 23, 2025. She was released the same day on a consent bond after turning herself in, according to her attorney, Steve Sadow.
The warrant, issued April 4, 2025, names her husband as the alleged victim amid their ongoing divorce. Sadow noted that her husband previously faced family violence battery charges against her in Fulton County. He is confident the case will resolve favorably for Lewis.
“The warrant taken out on April 4 alleges Karlie’s husband is the claimed ‘victim.’ As everyone knows, Karlie and her husband are in the midst of a divorce proceeding, and her husband has previously been charged in Fulton County with family violence battery against her,” Sadow’s statement, according to Atlanta TV station WSB.
