Let This Girl Live: Fans Are Sick and Tired of the Reginae Carter Slander

Reality star Reginae Carter shared a photo showing off her latest fashion–forward look, but, as always, the moment was overshadowed by her critics. Now, Carter’s loyal fans say they’ve had enough with the slander.

Carter, 20, posed for the camera sporting a snazzy snakeskin short set from online retailer Fashion Nova and accessorized the look with a Gucci fanny pack and pair of gold bracelets.

“These thighs be saving lives 🤷🏾‍♀️ I’m tellin ya 💋,” the “Growing Up Hip-Hop: Atlanta” star  captioned the photo. “2 piece from @fashionnova ❣️”

It was only a matter of time, however, before Carter’s haters came out the woodwork to make disparaging remarks about her short, curvy frame.

Look at her “lil midget legs,” one critic commented.

“Them thighs could take somebody’s life,” another joked.

“Whew chile, big dennamuthafucka,” one user chimed in, pointing to Carter’s apparent weight gain.

“The offspring tells all,” another added. “This exactly how [her mother] Toya was shaped b4 she did her body😩😩.”

Fans rushed to the aspiring actress’ defense, offering words of encouragement while also blasting the haters who they said were only envious of Reginae’s look.

“People really do the most on here. She looks good. Period!,” wrote one fan. “Some of y’all could neva.”

“Omg please let this girl live 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. Ppl are so fucking negative 🤦🏽‍♀️,” a fellow user agreed.

“Sis you look good,” someone else wrote. “Forget what these ppl say 😘.”

As of late, fans can’t help but fawn over Carter’s thicker frame. However, her added pounds have also sparked new pregnancy rumors. Rumblings of a possible “bun in the oven” have been swirling for some time but were reignited last week after the now 20-year-old shared a fashion post, in which her face was noticeably much more round.

Fans think she could be pregnant by on-again, off-again rapper boyfriend YFN Lucci, but Carter has denied it.

“Ain’t nobody having a baby, it’s cool,” she wrote in response to the speculation.

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.
