‘It’s a Resort Sis’: Fans Show Jealousy Toward Malaysia Pargo After She Posts a Photo of Her And Her Family In Their Backyard Pool

Staying at home in the wake of the pandemic has been a struggle for many Americans. Some individuals have documented their shelter-in-place lives by uploading TikTok videos to social media while others have been exercising in their homes.

Many have expressed what they’re looking forward to doing when they can venture out more, while those like Malaysia Pargo appear to be making the most out of their new stay-at-home situations.

Pargo and her three children received a taste of the good outdoor life on Monday, April 6. The longtime reality star from “Basketball Wives” posted a photo to Instagram of her and her babies enjoying a day in their backyard pool. The 39-year-old model posed for her photo by sticking her tongue out while her children sat in the water.

The California native and her kiddos seemingly had a good time soaking up the sun. “Backyard fun… 🐠🌞,” she wrote in the caption. Fans were envious that the family of four seemingly was living their best lives while the majority of people have been stuck in their homes.

“Wow must be nice to have a private pool and nice weather 🙌🏾🙌🏾,” a user wrote.

“Aww man it’s that hot there I’m so freaking jealous 🔥🔥❤️,” a second whined.

A third fan commented, “That ain’t a backyard; it’s a resort sis.”

“You bought that house just in time 💕,” a fourth said.

“I’m so jealous,” a fifth admitted.

A sixth user said, “At least ya got a pool.”

Pargo recently moved her and her children from Los Angeles, California, to Atlanta, Georgia. She documented her move on Instagram and revealed her Southern home was the first home she purchased on her own. “I have to reflect on a major milestone accomplished. Purchasing my first home on my own. There’s nothing I would not do to put a smile on my children’s face,” she shared.

The Compton beauty has made cameo appearances on Atlanta-based reality shows such as “Love and Hip-Hop: Atlanta.” She continues to work bicoastal and visits California frequently to film “Basketball Wives.”

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.
