‘Freddy Jackson’: Tommie Lee Claps Back at Fans for Trashing Her Latest Makeup Look

It looks like former “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Tommie Lee is fed up with folks bashing her appearance.

The television personality apparently committed a makeup faux pas this week, and online critics were the first to bring attention to it. Lee took to Instagram on Thursday evening and posted an impromptu photo shoot of herself seemingly inside a hotel room.

She seductively posed in a royal blue top and skirt set while debuting her new auburn tresses and showing off her curvy physique. The 35-year-old celeb captioned her post “You ain’t Neva got No time for me, I hate when he text that… “

Lee opted for a high-glam makeup look, and, according to fans, her face makeup was a different color from the rest of her body.

“Just delete this pic 🤷🏽‍♂️.. You look like a white woman you use to be brown lol! You need some sun,” one person wrote.

Another commented on her post, “Girl to much make up looking like Michael Jackson.”

Clearly fed up with the criticism, Lee fired back at the second naysayer, “Boi not enough makeup Freddy Jackson 😂.”

Other fans jumped to the television personality’s defense.

“People be hating, you always look gorgeous @tommiee_ 😘”

“Now that’s how you clapback! You look beautiful baby mama 😍”

This isn’t the first time Lee’s received criticism on her appearance.

The reality TV star attended the 2019 BET Hip Hop Awards on Oct. 5 and left fans less than impressed with her red carpet ensemble . She showed up wearing a light blue bustier, white joggers, pastel yellow Chanel flats, yellow tulle gloves adorned with purple flowers, black sleeping mask and a multi-colored umbrella.

She immediately received backlash on her fashion selection. One person even blasted her for seemingly wearing “sweat pants.”

Lee addressed her naysayers in a now-deleted video from October and wrote, “Y’all Gotta kno idgaf 😂 who funeral y’all was going too hard lmao #BET2019 #tommieshit ‘HipHop’ awards.”

As of late, she’s currently navigating the first few months of a term of 10 years of probation as a result of her child abuse case that was resolved in May.

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.
