‘Where Is Mendeecees?’: Yandy Smith Under Fire for Putting Her Clappas on Display In Recent IG Post

Yandy Smith-Harris flaunted her curves on social media this past week and her fans weren’t too happy about it.

The “Love and Hip Hop: New York” reality star took to Instagram on Friday, April 3 and posted a photo of herself sitting at a piano. She lounged around in a long-sleeved pink crop top that showed off her back and matching leggings that hugged her curves.

Smith posed on the piano bench with her backside facing the camera and her mouth slightly open. She captioned her post, “I want piano lessons…any teachers avail? ☺️Virtual lessons ofcourse 🥰 @mendeecees can you teach me? #socialdistancing.”

Many of her fans found the post to be provocative.

“Not YANDY? Not the QUEEENNNN? I’m shocked”

“Yandy posting thirst traps. 🤣 girl bye WE SEE YOU”

“Where Is Mendeecees 🤦‍♂️”

“Can’t believe Mendeecees approved this post😂 oh hell naw”

“When the hell did Yandy start posting thirst traps 😕”

“I was just shocked because I’m not use to one of my favorite lady’s showing her beauty in the booty lol,” another person commented. Smith-Harris responded, “I wasn’t. It depends on how you view things. One might say I’m showing the back of the outfit (that I got paid to ahow), or the piano or the floors. It’s all about about perspectives.”

Although the mother of two tagged her husband Mendeecees Harris in her post, he has yet to comment on it.

The two lately have been spending time with their children. Smith-Harris said she’s grateful for the time she’s been with her family while sheltering in place.

“I know for a lot of you #socialdistancing and being home for work is a bit problematic,” she wrote on March 16. “PRAYING through the stress and here’s the up side…finally you can spend some quality family time, you can read together, watch a favorite movie and all though schools are closed…the mind is not! Open your mind to new ways of living and loving.”

Smith-Harris and her husband tied the knot in 2015. The married couple both star on “LHHNY” together and are slated to appear on the show’s new season next year.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
