‘Chile’: Tami Roman Spills Tea on Marriage After Clapping Back at Fans for Plastic Surgery Remarks

Tami Roman is clearly unbothered by social media trolls.

The “Basketball Wives” star posted a beauty shot of herself posing with RuPaul’s book “Guru.” The image showed her sporting a gorgeous bright red lipstick with flutter eyelashes and her blond bone-straight tresses.

Roman wrote in her Instagram caption, “Getting started on #Guru by @rupaulofficial 💛 What are you reading?”

While a few fans marveled over her beauty, one person in particular criticized her looks and commented, “STOP, with the plastic surgery, you look like one if the KK sisters. Really”

The 49 year old was clearly unfazed by the naysayer’s allegations and hilariously responded, “chile when have I had time to get PLASTIC SURGERY? The way God has blessed me to be booked I can barely fit giving my husband some booty in 🤷🏽‍♀️”

Roman’s fans also jumped to her defense.

“what the hell is she talking about Tami?! LOL….The KK sisters are looking like us lmao.”

“she looks perfect. Ma’am you seriously have no business talking

“Why everyone that’s Naturally Beautiful gotta be hit with this LINE???😩”

“@tamiroman that is the last thing I would say looking at you. Bonnet chronicles with little to know make up=FLAWLESS but best reply I read yet👌😂 give reggie some!”

Speaking of Roman and her husband, Reggie Youngblood, the couple are currently in the talks of surrogacy after undergoing three miscarriages.

“He has no children,” the mother of two told Keyshia Cole on Fox Soul last month. “We tried three times. We, unfortunately, suffered three miscarriages. And, you know, now we’re considering a surrogate. You know, something like that. I saw Kandi had somebody have her baby … I said, Oh okay chile, that’s what we doing now? So we got the eggs and we harvested those and now we’re looking for a person to carry.”

Further details about Roman and Youngblood’s surrogacy are unknown. They married in 2018.

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.
