‘Now You Just Gotta Work On the Inside’: Fans Drag Alexis Skyy for Bragging About Her Seemingly Good Looks

Alexis Skyy appears to be feeling herself these days. The newest cast member of “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” went to Instagram and posted a video of her sporting a low-cut pink bodycon dress. The model rocked a full face of pink makeup to go along with her ensemble and her luscious long black curly locks flowed down over her shoulders.

The reality star appeared to be filming a behind-the-scenes interview for “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta.” Skyy glamorously placed herself in front of the green screen when someone in the background interrupted her with a question. “How does it feel to be so gorgeous,” a woman asked. Skyy acted as if she were surprised by the compliment and put her hand on her heart. She responded to the lady by gasping and saying, “Me?! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,” while laughing hysterically.

The New York native waved her hand like a beauty queen toward the end of the video and fans seemingly began to attack her for her character.

“It’s more to a person than looks, how ignorant, but carry own,” a user said annoyed.

A second fan commented, “*So Plastic*.”

“Eww. This is so cringy,” a third user said in disgust.

“Now you just gotta work on the inside 🤷‍♀️,” a fourth fan wrote.

A fifth commented, “Plastic surgey can make anyone GORGEOUS.”

“When you can get all the surgeries you want,” a sixth said.

Skyy appears to be receiving a lot of backlash from fans since the March 16 premiere of “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta.” Skyy showed up to Kirk and Rasheeda Frost‘s 20-year-wedding anniversary celebration uninvited with the intention of fighting her co-star Karlie Redd.

Skyy claimed that she was in a long-term relationship with Redd’s ex-husband, Arkansas Mo. The social media influencer told fans that Mo proposed to Redd with her old engagement ring. Mo recently clapped back at Skyy on Instagram. He implied that he never gifted Skyy with a wedding ring, that they were never involved in a serious relationship, and that she was allegedly dragging his name in the dirt for a storyline.

You can catch the newest episodes of “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” Monday at 8 p.m. EST on VH1.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
