‘You Got on Laylay’s Top’: Alexis Skyy Fans Slam Her for Ill-Fitted Bathing Suit

Alexis Skyy received an online scolding this weekend after donning sexy swimwear that apparently was too small for her.

On Saturday, June 6, the “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” star took to Instagram and posted a series of photos that showed her lounging on a beach. In the images, she wore a scanty black Chanel bikini and a floppy straw hat.

“You got that fire and I’m not a liar,” the 25-year-old model captioned her post.

Skyy’s bikini top exposed ample cleavage and only covered the areolae of her breasts. Instagram users were quick to point out her wardrobe fail.

“This bathing suit is way too small for you. 🥴 It looks a mess 😂,” one person commented. Another said, “So this is why all the XS/SMALLS be gone….If you know you 🙄🥴please wear your correct size boo!” A third user referred to Skyy’s 2-year-old daughter Alaiya Grace and wrote, “You got on laylay’s top💀.” Someone else commented, “Yo what’s going on with your boobs? That top may b a little 2 small. I’m not here for it 🤷‍♀️”

Skyy also shared a clip of herself running on the beach and captioned the post “When you catch feelings 😭😭😭”

On May 18, Skyy also tantalized her social media users again with another hot picture of herself wearing beachwear. She rocked a multi-colored bikini and posed with a pink teddy bear in her hands in a shot that featured dual images of herself. The barely there two-piece exposed all of her curves. She wrote in her post, “Patiently waiting to shoot again 🤤🤤 With @hmnalns”

Her fans quickly showered her with support for that post. One person even wrote, “Nice shoot indeed!😍 Damn you know what I’ll do with two of you ?? 😂😂 😁 you have no idea,” while a second added, “😍 nice picture 👌 Alexis 👍 you are so sweet ❤️ 🤤😋 girl …. you look like you smell good af.” Another user said, “Yes lawd!!! That body is sick 😮🍓🍭 it would be hard t.i handle a twin🔥”

Skyy recently starred on season 9 of “LHHATL” which ended in May. She joined the “Love and Hip Hop” franchise in 2017.

Still independent.

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.
