Tami Roman Keeping Her Chin Up Despite Constant Weight Criticism

Tami Roman isn’t letting her battle with diabetes slow her down. The “Basketball Wives” star remains hard at work on the set of what may be her new movie, set for release later this year.

“Set to trailer and back again 💯 #LivingMyBlessedLife (Link in bio) Hair: @thebeautyfreek.” Roman dished in the caption of the video of her smiling between takes.

It’s probable that Roman is back on the set of the film “Fall Girls,” which will co-star Erica Peeples, “Love and Hip Hop Hollywood” star Paris Phillips and “Love and Hip Hop Miami” star Amara La Negra.

Roman is managing to remain booked and busy all while managing her diabetes, which has resulted in a drastic change in her appearance. She’s since been fighting back against critics who slammed her slender frame.

One detractor came in the form of a nurse, who accused the reality TV star of not quitting smoking and drinking as she battles diabetes.

“I can’t even take her serious when she chain smokes and drinks,” the nurse said. “As a nurse, I have seen first hand the damage of having diabetes and SMOKING can do.”

“@luckiecharmsdp thanks for judging instead of offering outlets & methods to help me quit…you know as a nurse and all…smoking is a nasty addiction and it’s been challenging, but surprisingly others not in the medical field are helping me to overcome it. Thank goodness! You work where sis? They should know about your negative social media practices.”

Roman had explained to BBW co-star Jackie Christie that her weight loss had come after she took control of her health.

“I’m 48 years old. You know what I’m saying? So this is how my body reacts to me making proper choices with my diet.”

However, fans applauded Roman’s appearance on her latest IG post, with many remarking about how “gorgeous” she looked.

“You’re gorgeous.”

“So Gorge! And that hair! Life😍.”

“Absolutely fudging GORGEOUS 😍😘.”

“You are STUNNING!!!! @tamiroman I’m looking at a goddess.”

“Tammy I smile every time I see ya … you are so inspiring simply pretty, without trying 😊”

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.
