‘Take It Or Leave It’: Angela Simmons Shocks the Internet With Semi-Nude Photo

“Built Not Bought” founder Angela Simmons practically broke the internet this week after posting a photo of herself nearly baring it all.

The 32-year-old mother took the meaning of sexy and confident to a whole new level with a recent photo shoot that captured her semi-naked. Simmons put her unclad body on display to her six million followers and posed on a wooden bench with her legs crossed and her wavy tresses covering her exposed areas.

Seemingly firing back at naysayers who’ve criticized her former fashions, Simmons captioned her post, “You accuse her of being ill-dressed. I agree. Clothes don’t become her. I’m not what I wear, I’m not what I don’t wear. I am Who I am regardless .. take it or leave it.”

The “Growing Hip Hop” star drummed up more than 142,000 likes on her Instagram post, including a wave of mixed reactions.

“Oh my Lordy! 🔥🤤 Damn Angela you looking Beautiful🔥 girl them legs and thighs and gift of god truly asiatic black women is heaven poor righteous”

Although Simmons’ semi-nude post was mostly appreciated by her fans, others deemed it “tasteless.”

The mother of one has often been judged for her revealing clothing choices in the past by many of her followers, especially since she identifies as a Christian.

“People will come up to me and say, ‘Oh ,you shouldn’t be wearing that skirt.’ And I just say, ‘Why not?’” she previously told Rolling Out during an interview in 2013. “I’m not doing it distastefully, and I’m not being disrespectful. I have my relationship with God, so therefore I don’t feel like anyone should judge me. But it’s life, and people are going to judge.”

As of late, Simmons made it clear that she’s extremely confident in herself and doesn’t care much what people think.

She wrote on Oct. 29 via Instagram, “con·fi·dence /ˈkänfədəns/ * a feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of one’s own abilities or qualities 💞.”

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.
