‘Don’t Respond to These Rats U Look Fab’: Tommie Lee Claps Back at Troll Who Shaded Her Shoes As Being Too Small, and Fans Defend Her

Tommie Lee‘s latest upload on Dec. 27 went amiss after fans zeroed in on the model’s toes and noticed her Bottega heels were a size too small.

Lee, who tried to promote her Fashion Nova attire, captioned the snapshot “I done hit the ground Ah couple times it ain’t leave A scratch!💪🏾.” One follower bypassed the quote and asked the star if the designer shoe worth $1270 had Lee’s size. “They didn’t have any in your size sis??”

The reality star quickly clapped back and said, “B—-h pls like I would dare get a shoe too small they got everything in your size but I see you ain’t cop nun yet.” Many took Lee’s defense and expressed she should’ve ignored the troll.

“Y’all some haters for real! Feet do slide in heels and you can tell cuz her heel ain’t all the way to the back. Just like the picture and keep wishing her lifestyle was yours smh.”

“It’s obviously because she’s sitting and her feet are moving forward. Tf. What you wear crocs?”

“Haters always find some negative to say.”

Hours before the 36-year-old had shared a post as she went to a Miami zoo with her daughter. She captioned the upload “This girl had me getting attacked by monkeys today #thecoolmom😫🤟🏼.” Many fans commented on the reality star’s noticeably slimmer physique.

One mentioned how thin Lee has gotten. “You got skinner and prettier queen 😍.”

Another told the “Love & Hip Hop” star that she had lost some weight. “😍😍 You slimming on down.”

Over the summer Lee showed her followers how she kept her unwanted weight off while maintaining her curves. The fitness routine consisted of leg lifts with a resistance band, lifting weights, and sled pushes. 

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.
