‘Enough Thigh to Feed My Whole Family’: Tommie Lee Wows Fans With Leggy Photo

People had a lot to say about “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Tommie Lee after she posted a picture of herself on Tuesday that showed her in a sparkly blue gown.

The reality star attended Shawn Carter’s Foundation Gala at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

Part of Lee’s back is facing the camera in the shot, giving fans a better view of the color and length of the gown, which drew comparisons to Cinderella. And it shows her hip that bears a tattoo of a gun, as well as plenty of leg that many commented on.

“Damn that’s enough thigh to feed my whole family on Thanksgiving😂😂,” one person wrote.

“You been killin the gram 🔥🔥,” another let the reality star know.

There was also at least one marriage proposal in the comments, along with one guy who used Usher’s classic “You Make Me Wanna” lyric to say how he felt.

“You make me wanna leave the one I’m with start a new relationship with you 😩😩💜,” one guy wrote.

“Will you marry me??🤤💍,” asked someone else.

Lee shared a separate photo in that same gown on Sunday and alluded to being locked up twice last year within a 24-hour span.

The first time was for allegedly slamming her daughter’s head into a school locker and the second time for contacting the child after she was ordered not to.

“Love And compassion are Necessities. Not Luxuries. without them Humanity, cannot survive,” wrote Lee in that second photo. “#Thankful I’m not in the same place I was last year…💋.”

“No ankle bracelet this time I’m proud of u ❤️❤️❤️,” wrote someone beneath that post, possibly throwing a little shade.

And someone said they loved what Lee wrote about love and compassion.

“Yu can’t truly function the way you need to and fulfill your goals and dreams with hate in your heart,” that person commented. “♥️ love is major 🔑 💯 … absolutely correct.”

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.
