‘Romeo Was Right’: Angela Simmons’ Sexy Photo Post Is Diverted by Folks Calling Her Thirsty

Angela Simmons is getting called on the carpet this week for her recent sexy pictures.

The “Growing Up Hip Hop” star slightly caused an uproar among fans after posting two revealing images on the internet. On Thursday, April 30, she took to Instagram and posted pics of herself wearing a revealing bikini top and tiny bikini bottom.

Simmons’ wear exposed quite a bit of cleavage and left nearly nothing to the imagination below her waist. She posed with her hand on her hip and a sullen expression as she racked up over 232,000 hearts on her pics. The bare-faced reality star suggested she was promoting body positivity in her post.

“She’s not perfect , her weight fluctuates, she has her days when she’s not sure … she doesn’t have a 6 pack …. Throughout this all she’s learned to love herself unconditionally,” Simmons wrote. “She is me . And I am her … My strength is rooted deeper than the surface . I want to encourage you to love your body. Wherever you stand with it . It’s not easy . But it’s worth it. You are worth it. You don’t have to be what anyone( society) tells you to be. You can be YOU freely. There’s nothing more beautiful than a confident woman ! Built not Bought #BNB #DoWhatMakesYouHappy #WalkingInMyPurpose”

A few fans gawked over the 32-year-old mother’s photos.

“She not perfect but she’s someones goals cuz 💅🏽”

“Anything not fake is wonderful. The beauty of being a natural wombman🔥”

“Got to be the finest woman hands down❤️”

Others accused Simmons of exhibitionism and even mentioned her supposedly broken friendship with Romeo Miller.

“See this is what Romeo was talking about… 😩😂 joke, joke lmao I was watching growing up hip hop last night 😂”

“You forgot she post half naked for attention why celebs be thirst trappin”

“Romeo was right sis stay showing her body for attention. She stay cappin”

During this past season of “GUHH,” Miller and Simmons ended their friendship for good.

The “My Baby” rapper claimed his friendship with the fashionista was doing him more “harm” than good. He also scolded her for posting thirst traps on social media, suggesting they were beneath her.

“Your sister don’t have to do certain things, man, but you know Angela, she likes that camera,” Miller told Angela’s older sister, Vanessa Simmons, in the episode. “Your sister [and] NBA players taking pictures like these social media models. … You’re Angela Simmons, you don’t have to do all that.”

Angela Simmons thought it was wrong of Miller to criticize her photos, since he posts shirtless pics of himself. She said she’s tried to reach out to him via phone and social media but he hasn’t responded. As of now, the former love interests apparently are no longer friends.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
