Tami Roman Stunts on Haters with Newest IG Post, Likened to a ‘Goddess,’ ‘Trophy’

“Basketball Wives” cast member Tami Roman is not letting discussions about her weight stop her from flaunting her assets. The reality TV star on Friday posted a photo posing in a gold Armani dress and shades, staring fiercely down at the ground with her mile-long legs on display.  A pair of red bottoms completes the look and Roman also got a little help from Rihanna’s limited-edition summer staple from Fenty Beauty: body glitter deemed Body Lava.

“#LevelUp on your #GlowUp with @fentybeauty #BodyLava it’s life-changing 🙌🏽🙌🏽 #keepyocandlesticksLit #armani,” Roman captioned the image.

The post had fans fawning over Roman’s striking silhouette.

“Your Stunning Tami! I absolutely LOVE your new short hair! You have such beautiful face structure and the hair shows it off perfectly!💛💛💛.”

“Legggs for days!”

“Yasss @tamiroman legs of a Goddess #getintoit.”

“@tamiroman you out here looking like golden globe TROPHY…😍😍😍😍you look AMAZING…..LOVE YOUR GLOW.”

“Looking Marvelous beloved. Let Nothing or no one steal your Joy. Greatness is in You n Looks Gorgeous on you. Stay Focused and Gods Peace be w you.”

The overwhelmingly positive comments are a stark contrast from the negativity Roman has been facing lately when it comes to her appearance.

Despite disclosing her slimmer frame has to do with her diabetes, folks have continued to tear into her body frame.

“Ummmm… I don’t follow regularly and I’m not on IG a lot but when this picture came up I was shocked. She looks emaciated. I understand the health issue but I have questions?!?,” one fan asked.

Still, others have since continued to uplift the star, telling her not to pay the naysayers any attention.

“You look amazing!!! Don’t let anyone get to you, asking if you’re doing something dangerous to yourself! You look healthy, happy, and hot! You are an inspiration to the rest of us, diabetes or not!!! ❤❤❤.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
