On Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, Karlie Redd told Amy she was already married but planned a ceremony. She wanted a drama-free wedding, but Amy warned her about Zell Swag. Amy said Zell had been talking about Bunny Racks, a woman linked to Karlie’s husband, TLO. Karlie reacted, saying his exes had been “haunting” her since their relationship went public.

Amy further explained that Zell wanted to feature Bunny Racks in a song to help advance her career. Karlie refused to discuss the situation, hinting at legal reasons behind her silence. However, she made it clear that she would not entertain any more of TLO’s past connections.

Karlie also expressed her frustration with Zell’s actions, reminding Amy of the support she had shown him in the past. She recalled how she had been there for him when he was arrested, stating,

“I slept in my car in front of the jail. Went to the bail bondsman.”

Despite this, she felt Zell had turned against her by associating with Bunny Racks. In her confessional, Karlie made her stance clear, saying,

“I can try to ignore TLO’s exes, but I can’t ignore disloyal friends.”

She then decided to confront Zell about his actions.
