‘Doug Need to Come Get His Wife’: Jackie Christie’s Recent Photo Shoot Leaves Fans Confused

Jackie Christie seems to have added model to her résumé, based on an Instagram video from Wednesday, April 22. The “Basketball Wives” cast member gave fans a snippet of her recent photo shoot. Her new modeling gig, however, backfired after fans expressed that her stance confused them.

The 50-year-old reality star wore a black tie-neck blouse and what appeared to be a pair of black-and-white shorts. The clip showed Christie sitting on a floor with her legs spread as Summer Walker’s song “Anna Mae” played in the background. Christie listed a few of her successful business endeavors in her caption.

Christie, the wife of retired NBA player Doug Christie, mentioned in her hashtag that she and her husband will be celebrating 25 years of marriage in July. Fans thought Jackie’s suggestive photo was too revealing for fans, explaining that she could have shared the photo with Doug instead. Fans dragged the television personality in the comments for her “confusing” posture.

“This pose throwing me off no shade but is she sitting frontwards or backwards 😫.”

“Doug need to come get his wife🤣🤣🤣.”

A third user asked, “Where tf is Doug at?”

“I don’t get this picture!! It’s stressing me out 😩.”

“Oh no Hunni, save this 90’s sexy throwbacks for your husband, I promise he’ll appreciate it more than us 🤣.”

A sixth said, “What was the reason?! *Cardi voice.*”

“Why the back in the front 😳. This is confusing.”

“What way is her body going 😂😂,” an eighth questioned.

Doug and Jackie Christie had a shotgun wedding in 1995 and have renewed their vows every year since. Doug is the father to her 26-year-old daughter Chantel Christie and her 18-year-old son Doug Christie Jr. Jackie has another daughter, Ta’kari Lee, from a previous relationship.

Jackie and Lee have an estranged relationship. Lee, who was raised by Jackie’s mother, revealed in a 2018 interview with Hollywood Unlocked that Jackie kicked her out of a property that she was renting from her years ago without any notice. It does not appear the mother-daughter duo will mend their relationship anytime soon.

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.
