Tami Roman Looks Nothing Like Herself In Recent Photo

Tami Roman is never afraid to switch up her appearance and one of her latest looks is giving fans a hard time identifying her.

Roman posed in a blond wig, Gucci beret, an off the shoulder leopard print dress by Vivienne Westwood, angled sunglasses and bold red lip in a photo she uploaded to her Instagram page on Thursday, Nov. 15.

“Love yourself enough to walk away from anything…even the old YOU 🖤,” the “Basketball Wives” star captioned the pic.

Several fans applauded her message.

“You always on time Auntie ❤️ I needed this word.”

“Yes once you learn to love yourself first you’ll be able to walk away from anything and anyone that not Worthy of you. You’re working that Leopard My Sista ❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷”

“I’m working on this with myself.”

“Caption!!! They hate when individuals grow…does something to them. Keep shining and doing you!”

Others were more enamored with her outfit.

“Okkkaaayy Tam🔥👌, Came through Dripping💁, Just saying.”

“I love that dress Leopard is in 🍯”

“Come on with this slayage Fave!!! It’s too much we can’t handle the heat! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥”

“@tamiroman you are gorgeous. You should definitely look into modeling if you haven’t already 😍”

And a few fans even had trouble recognizing her.

“I thought this was waka’s @charliesangelll ❤❤❤❤”

“I didn’t even know this was you…very editorial 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽”

“Who’s that?”

“Who Is That🐆🐆🐆🔥🔥🔥 👀👌”

This isn’t the first time the actress has pulled a switcheroo with her appearance. Roman made waves over the summer when she cut her hair into a short ‘do fit for the hot season.

“‘Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes.’ ~ Tzu” she captioned her June post.

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.
