Tyrese Gibson has harsh words for women who have had plastic surgery and use lash and hair extensions to improve their looks. Needless to say, it didn’t go over well on Twitter.

The “Sweet Lady” singer posted a long Instagram message against women who he claimed look like “manufactured clowns” after he overheard a group of women saying men are “stupid.”

“WE KNOW the difference in real hair and fake clip-ons, we know eyelash extensions, we know fake hard titties pointing in 4 directions with your ribs showing in the middle?” Gibson wrote Thursday, March 16. “We know when you got little chicken legs and it leads to an oversized #fake ass you guys are really starting to go TOO FAR with manufactured beauty — fake lips, skinny nose barely can even breathe through your own nostrils  — sitting across from you and you couldn’t even HIDE your weave tracks??”

Gibson went on to say he wasn’t “trying to be mean” and praised #TeamNatural and women who use physical activity to achieve an attractive figure.

“If your beauty has been purchased, that’s fine…. own it, enjoy it,” he said during Women’s History Month. “Just know that us REAL ones out here see the REAL….”

The message was not well received online and users lit up Gibson’s Instagram comments section.

Gibson’s comments drew so much derision that Twitter users also weighed in.

A few didn’t see the issue and some agreed with him.

Others didn’t give it any thought.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
