‘Those Armpits’: Tommie Lee’s Sexy Video Goes Left When She Lifts Her Arms

When Tommie Lee posted a video of herself promoting a product in a skintight lime-green dress, it’s pretty certain the last thing she expected was to spark a conversation about her armpits — yet, here we are.

The former “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” cast member took to Instagram to let fans know how she’s staying in shape right now, pointing out that “surgery is canceled” due to COVID-19 stay-at-home orders. Since she “can’t go lay on the table” anytime soon, she’s turning to weight-loss products, but while she was promoting them fans were a little distracted in the comments.

“Y’all know I love y’all so I’m looking out we gone come out of this sh-t summer time fine,” wrote the 35-year-old rapper and model in her caption. While some fans did seem to be genuinely interested in the products and that green dress, a few eagle-eyed followers couldn’t get past what they perceived to be “hairy armpits.”

“Armpits look like???” wrote a confused follower.

“Those armpits 😩,” another pointed out.

“She broke and reaching, in this era who really wanna see this🐼☠️,” said a third.

“Love the hairy armpits boo,” someone complimented.

“who cares about her armpits honestly .. body goals af 😩,” a fan said, defending Tommie.

“Her underarms are nt that bad🤷🏽‍♀️ y’all acting like she got a whole bush under that mf 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️,” agreed another.

The reality star and mom of two is known for sharing sexy shots of herself on social media, and she recently got fans talking when she posted a pic in an itsy-bitsy brown swimsuit on the ’Gram. When one person questioned why she never seems to share any pics of herself with her kids, she was quick to shut the conversation down, replying that “my family is not for IG this is a place of business for me.”

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.
