‘It’s Called Surgery’: Malaysia Pargo’s Sexy Swimsuit Pic Nosedives When Fans Claim She’s Gone Under the Knife

Malaysia Pargo once again gave fans a glimpse of her curves in a skimpy piece of swimwear.

The star of VH1’s “Basketball Wives” uploaded a pic of herself posing in a white one-piece swimsuit by Matte Collection that left little to the imagination.

“Something about a White Number on a boat!!!!!!” Pargo excitedly captioned the post of her standing on a yacht in an undisclosed location on the water.

Many fans heaped on the praise for the star’s looks.

“Damm super fine😘👀”

“Absolutely Amazing and Beautiful.”

“My, My, My, 🔥🔥🔥”

“Ouuuuuuu🥰🥰🥰🥰goals baby “

However, others claimed her sexy appearance came courtesy of a plastic surgeon.

“It’s called surgery.”

“When you get a tummy tuck🤔.”

“Sis u went and got sum work dn 🧐🧐🤷🏾‍♀️😍.”

“She looks good, BUT I hate seeing a stretched out belly button and the “cover up” tattoo such a give away 🤦🏻‍♀️.”

Pargo has never addressed accusations of getting work done, but she’s been accused of obtaining plastic surgery by former “Basketball Wives L.A.” star Brittish Williams.

Speaking to VH1 in 2014 during her first season on the reality show, Williams said just about every last one of her then-cast members has had the help of a professional to perfect their bodies — Pargo included.

“All of them [have had plastic surgery], Draya [Michele], Malaysia and Brandi [Maxiell]. They told me they did,” Williams claimed. “Draya had her boobs done but denies getting her butt done. Malaysia had the fat from her stomach and butt put into her boobs, and Brandi had her boobs done. Draya had her lips done, maybe. They all had their teeth done. I’m not sure about Jackie [Christie]. Sundy [Carter] hasn’t — I talked about it once with her.”

But help from plastic surgeons aside, Pargo has not always had such a perfect curvaceous figure. Last year, Pargo was noticeably thicker and had no issues showing it off on Instagram. In a hot pink swimsuit, Pargo enjoyed a cocktail and remarked about how she’d been gaining weight.

“Toes in the Sand Momma Getting Fat…SNACK 😘” she delightfully captioned the image.

Fans were delighted by Pargo’s embrace of her figure and let it be known in the comments.

“Issa Whole Brunch😍😘💞💕💕💕💕”

“I like! I like!”

“Looking good.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
