‘Close Your Legs’: Alexis Skyy Fans Trash Her Latest Thirst Trap

“Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” and “Love & Hip Hop: New York” reality star Alexis Skyy can’t catch a break on the internet.

After receiving significant heat for posting a video of herself in a car with her child’s purported father, Fetty Wap, fans are now clapping back at the mother of one over an Instagram photo. 

The 25-year-old model uploaded a risque photo of herself Friday, Jan.24, promoting the Flat Tummy app. 

“@flattummyapp has my back!!! Their daily workouts and meal plans can be customized to MY GOALS 🙌,” she wrote. 

“Not to mention progress tracking and a community forum of like minded babes – seriously, everything I need to keep myself accountable!” Skyy continued. “No more excuses, ladies 🙅 Download their 12 Month Plan TODAY and essentially get 6 months FREE 📲.”

Fans were not feeling Skyy’s pose, as she can be seen sitting on a floor in front of a couch with her legs opened suggestively toward the camera. 

“You ain’t leaving no sneak peak for ya mans u shows everything.”

“You pretty enough to sell the ad without your legs been open ma fareal!!”

“I know damn well u ain’t work out in some low top white forces.”

“You gotta chill.” 

“why yah legs gotta be open it’s just a damn ad?”

“Close your legs.”

Welp! While Skyy got called out for her somewhat explicit photo, some fans didn’t seem to mind Skyy’s pose. 

“🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 Damn They Owe U More For Dis Promotion.”

“I’m blown away by this pic. 👌🏾.”

“Still look good tho 💋💋💋.”

“Omg, I have a new screensaver picture on momma I do!”

“Come use me for all my money 😍.” 

“When she😍 bad an u know it 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽.” 

Despite the backlash, Skyy continues to garner attention from fans by showcasing her toned body.

Her post garnered over 80,000 likes, and when she previously uploaded a video of herself in a gray bodysuit Sunday, Jan.19, she had fans swooning. 

“B– I’m fineeee 😍😍😍😍,” she captioned the video.

Fans agreed, complimenting the reality star. 

“Yesssss, you are! 😍😍😍😍😍.” 

“Very, very true 💯💯💯💯.” 

“You not lyinggggg 😩🔥👏🏼😍.” 

Perhaps the Flat Tummy tea and workouts are doing wonders for Skyy. 

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.
