Just when fans thought the drama between Mimi Faust & Nikko Smith reached its highest point, his new statement takes their former relationship to a new level of controversy.

Smith has accused Faust of hiring him to be her boyfriend on the show. He said her manager was in on it too.

He told HOT 97's radio show Ebro In The Morning earlier this week that while it was shady, it was a good move for him. "It made sense to me after what Steven Jordan did to her. They invited me out to dinner. They did the whole wine and dine me. They had the producer for VH1 at the time with them."

He added that doing the show, "gave me a notoriety that people don't know before."

While this is something reality stars have been said to do in the past to boost their story lines, Smith and Faust's relationship took a completely different turn when a sex tape of their secret bedroom moments leaked on the Internet. Smith has been accused of leaking the footage without Faust's knowledge to make money.

Still, while Smith agreed to play Faust's boyfriend, he said he is portrayed as a jerk.

"They've got the best editors in the world...I go with it because I sign my name on that dotted line like everybody else."

But now things have taken an interesting turn because Smith's secret wife, Margeaux, has joined the series. Apparently she was married the entire time Smith was with Faust.

He said Margeaux signed on to the show because "she wants to speak up for herself."
