Angela Simmons Gets Grilled By Fans for Allegedly Lying About How She Stays Fit

Angela Simmons, like many celebrities, have been promoting the Flat Tummy Company as the reason she is fit and fans were not going for it. On Wednesday, Simmons shared a photo of her in a workout fit with her Flat Tummy shake. The Flat Tummy Company sells teas, shakes and candy that are designed to promote weight loss. The company has received quite a bit of negative criticism for not actually helping with living a healthier lifestyle.

In Simmons’ caption, she wrote, “Few days down on this round of @flattummyco shakes and I’m definitely seeing the progress. They taste good, super quick to make, and get me the results I’m looking for.” She continued and was sure to add that this post was simply an advertisement,  “Definitely happy with my post-summer tummy redemption 😂 Check them out while this sale’s still on! #ad”

Although Simmons stated upfront that the post was an ad, fans still let her know they disapprove of the post.

“Bullshit. You are fit because you work out like a professional athlete, not because of some tea. Please stop spreading BS products.”

“I thought you were built not bought sis lol you just as bad as the others.”

“She needs to stop lying bout this tea cuz she don’t even drink it. All the celebs are lying when they promote this bs”

“How can you post built not bought then advertise stuff like this you don’t see how thats not contradicting?”

Fans are referring to a Wednesday post where Simmons shared a video on Instagram of her and her trainer. In her caption then she said, “Thank you @itscoachnelson @supremeteamboxing for today! So refreshing 💪🏽👊🏾 #BNB #builtnotbought link in bio ‼️💕.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
