Fans Concerned Angela Simmons’ Fitness Regimen Has Affected Her Curves: ‘Please Don’t Get Any Slimmer’

Angela Simmons, daughter of DJ Rev Run, appears to be slimming down, although fans think her body is “perfect.”

The 31-year-old mother is known for fitness dedication, and some of her latest photos  make her look like she might be losing weight. She took to Instagram on March 5 and shared an image highlighting her casual fashions. She sported a white utility coat by Fashion Nova, a distressed T-shirt and a pair of distressed jeans with white ankle booties. She captioned the photo of her chic-yet-relaxed fashion style, “It’s simple 💭.’

The T-shirt Simmons donned cinched at her waist and accentuated her apparently slimmer physique. However, she’s known for her naturally curvy body and fans warned her about seemingly losing more weight.

“Pls don’t get smaller,” one fan wrote underneath Simmons’ image. “Love ya thick 🍑 .”

“You look so skinny in the face, I hope you’re okay,” another fan stated.

“👀🤔 You are slimming down Hunty!!!!! But please don’t get any slimmer,” another person cautioned the star.

Others fawned over the “Growing Up Hip Hop” star’s snazzy look.

“Her style is untouchable ❤️.”

“Gosh I love her 😍 and now I have to get those white boots!”

As far as Simmons’ appearance, the star said she loves her body, curves and all. She’s even created a program called “Built Not Bought” to empower women who may be suffering from low self-esteem like she once did.

In June 2018, she opened up about her past existing body issues she dealt with as a teenager.

“I didn’t embrace my curves because I was so young, ” she told the Breakfast Club. “I kind of had a little journal I would write in and I would always be like, ‘I think I look like this.’ And I had a little diagram and I would draw this big person and then draw myself skinny. Like, draw the person I want to be, skinny.”

Simmons has however grown to love the skin she’s in and said loving herself is a work in progress.

“Loving myself just as I am is very important,” she wrote Loving myself just as I am. Everyday is a new day. Some days a I want a flatter stomach , some days I want my arms to be cut up. … The biggest lesson I have learned is being content with who I am,” she wrote in a Instagram post in May 2018 while posing in her underwear.

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.
