‘Not The Right Mask’: Fans Dog Alexis Skyy For Wearing Wrong Safety Mask on Airplane Amid Coronavirus Outbreak

Alexis Skyy‘s attempt at staying safe from the coronavirus appears to have backfired with fans. The star flew on Delta Air Lines and posted a photo of her sporting a black cap with a pink safety mask on her face. However, the star appeared to not have thought her safety choices all the way through because social media users called the model out for wearing the wrong mask on her flight.

The “Love and Hip Hop” reality star appeared to be the only person onboard with a mask. She captioned her photo with, “Everyone is over me on this plane especially PETER 😂😂.”

Social media users took to the ‘Gram to call the model out for her safety precaution choices and seemingly accused the star of seeking out attention.

“Girl wtff are u doing,” asked a fan.

“NOWHERE NEAR THE CORRECT MASK . 😩,” a second user commented.

A third fan said, “That’s not a n95 mask 😷 so it won’t prevent you from catching the virus. 🤦🏽‍♀️”

“You couldn’t buy a level 3 mask you just wanna look cute on the plane don’t u.😩😩 If you ain’t sick stop wearing masks sis😷,” a fourth commented.

A fifth user said, “These masks don’t protect you from the virus…….”

“Not the right mask,” a sixth user said.

The star appears to be traveling quite often these days since she is living between New York and Atlanta. The model made headlines two weeks ago after posting a photo of her in the airport wearing a grey sweatsuit with the hoodie that said, “Do I Look Like I Fly Economy?” Fans were insulted by the choice of words she rocked on her hoodie and dragged the star on the ‘Gram. Social media users felt as if the model was poking fun at people who did not have the financial means to fly first class.

The reality star is the newest cast member of “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta,” which will return to VH1 March 16.

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.
