‘Don’t be Mad at Dudes In Ya Inbox’: Folks Are Fed Up with Angela Simmons Latest Bikini Pic

Angela Simmons, the daughter of DJ Rev Run, posted a salacious image of herself this week, prompting fans to caution her about creeps online.

Simmons has been on a roll lately, posting a gang of titillating pictures of herself in skin-showing bikinis. The latest ‘Gram-flossing photo was posted on Tuesday evening, a selfie captured by the celeb of herself standing in a mirror with a two-piece swim set on.

She wrote in her photo caption,” Ready for a getaway☀️ @mattecollection ♥️ #TimeToGetInTheGym #BNB #LinkInBio #builtnotbought.”

The alluring image of Simmons sparked an uproar from fans in the comments.

“She post these pics, then will prolly be upset when folks slide in the dms. Don’t be mad at the dudes in ya inbox #thirstrap.”

“I get the whole workout and showing off results but to damn near every pic of you in a bathing suit or next to nothing, you seeking attention sis 😢.”

“Angela girl put some clothes on just so unladylike 😠🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ what would your dad say?’

“She cries about stalking yet she is posting this crap, she is doing this to get attention,” one fan said, referring to Simmons 2016 revelation about dealing with a stalker on “Growing Up Hip Hop.

Other folks raced to the celeb’s defense.

“Ya’ll always talking about her like every female don’t post bikini pics 😫 tell people to control their hormones not her.”

“If u have a problem wit her in a bikini just unfollow her she can post what she wants.”

Over the years, the 31-year-old mother has dealt with a wave of slut-shaming from fans due to her carefree nature and a former pledge she made, vowing to not have sex before marriage. However, Simmons apparently broke her vow, and fans reaction was swift when she announced her pregnancy with her now 2-year-old son Joseph Sutton Tennyson in 2016. She felt social media harshly judged her for having a child out of wedlock with her ex-fiancé Sutton Tennyson, who was gunned down last November.

“They judged me,” the former Pastry owner recalled during season 3 of “GUHH.’

“People are always going to be in my comments, ‘Where’s the dad?’ It’s nonstop. They’re always worried about my ring and if it’s on or off,” Simmons said. “They think they know me and they really don’t. They have no idea.”

She continued, “Of course, I heard a lot of chatter about me having a child out of wedlock. You got to imagine, my son has to look back at this one day, and, you know what, I’m human and it happened.”

Still independent.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
