“Me and you in a car, we get in a car accident and I need to go to the hospital and you need to call my…don’t call him,” Karlie added with a straight face!

In fact, Karlie Red agreed with Lore’l’s suggestion that her friends and man shouldn’t even have each other’s phone numbers.

“I’m not insecure or anything like that. Just don’t hit up my man,” Karliee Redd said about her friends.

However, she made one lil’ exception: existing friends don’t count!

“If you knew him before and you guys were already friends, but if I introduce you to him? No, no. If you knew him before, there’s nothing I can do about it you know, y’all were cool before.”
