She said:
“I auditioned for the movie as Karlie Lewis,” she told us, explaining that she knows that reality stars don’t get considered often for “legitimate.”
Redd walked the carpet alongside heavy hitters like Kanye West, Jerry Seinfeld, Gabrielle Union, and film creator, Chris Rock.
Karlie explained:
“They don’t respect — I know this is in the industry — they don’t respect reality stars. People tell me that. But that’s okay because when I audition for these roles and my acting comes out clear, then they can see that.”
“I’m gonna still keep showing them that I can do it. Chris Rock gave me an opportunity. So I auditioned for a role – it’s his movie; it’s called [Top Five, formerly known as] Finally Famous, with Kevin Hart, Gabrielle Union, David Spade, Rosario Dawson. I can go on. But when I auditioned for the movie and he didn’t know I was on Love & Hip Hop [Atlanta] until I got on set. My audition was that good. I got on set and that’s when they found out I was — they was like, ‘Oh my god, you’re Karlie Redd!’ I auditioned for the movie as Karlie Lewis.”

Check out Top Five, and Karlie, when it hits theaters on Friday, December 12.
