‘Clean Up’: Angela Simmons ‘After Hours’ Pic Derails When Fans Notice Her ‘Messy House’

It seems social media users are questioning Angela Simmons and her standards of cleanliness.

The “Growing Up Hip Hop” star posted on Instagram the night of Monday, March 30, and uploaded two photos that showed her modeling around the house in casual wear. She wore a towel around her head, a white T-shirt, gray sweatpants and gold stiletto pumps.

Simmons posed on top of her counter in one image and standing in the middle of her kitchen in another. She looked into the camera with a pot and coffee cup in her hand and captioned her post, “The new after hours #AngelaRenee #HouseMami #BabySleep 🤷🏽‍♀️ leggings”

Critics instantly trashed the 32-year-old mother for having a supposed “messy” house.

“Clean up”

“The ocd and cleaning business in me want to offer to clean the house for free”

“De-clutter too much “stuff” sitting around for my taste.”

“All that money and she messy and unorganized 🤦🏿‍♂️”

“I’ll come wash those clothes in the back… What’s all that stuff on the floor, in the corner sis?”

Fans, however, jumped to her defense against critics.

“Minus the clothes pile and the shoes she just switched out of for the heels it’s not even messy. Y’all just wanna have something to say smh 🙄”

“I literally don’t see anything unless I’m missing a picture. The food is stacked neatly on the counter, boxes are neatly again the wall, she just has to do laundry.. I wish everyone would go away. She’s nowhere near messy🤦”

Although fans seemed less than impressed with Simmons’ cleaning skills, there’s no denying the fact that she’s a natural beauty.

Last week, the mother of one won over the internet after she posed for a photo completely makeup free and there wasn’t one blemish in sight. Not to mention, she rocked her natural curly tresses in a bun and wore an oversized sweatshirt.

Her fans were taken aback by her gorgeous looks.

“Such a natural beauty. Share the secrets 😂 MY SKIN NEEDS A UPGRADE DURING THIS RONA 😂,” one user wrote.

A second added, “Sis what facial products do U use or what kind of facial do u get ❤️❤️❤️❤️tour face always looks amazing.”

The third concluded, “You’re glowing a Natural hottie 🔥. “

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.
