‘The Fake Teeth Are So Distracting’: Eva Marcille’s Self-Care Video Goes Left After Fans Bring Up Her Pearly Whites

Eva Marcille‘s teeth became the topic of conversation on April 22 after the model uploaded a clip of how she balances her self-care regimens with her busy home and work schedule. Marcille currently works as an actress, a co-host on “The Ricky Smiley Morning Show,” and entrepreneur with her jewelry line.

Marcille said in the recording while twirling her iced cocktail in the background, “Happy Thursday, so from job to self-care, to job to meeting, to self-care to kids, to cocktail to job. All right, I gotta go.” The mother of three kept the post light-hearted when she wrote, “It’s the balance for me. #Gratitude #cocktail.”

A multitude of fans bypassed the video’s message and quickly zoomed in on the “America’s Next Top Model” season 3 winner’s flashy white smile.

“You already had perfect teeth.😩.”

“The fake teeth are so distracting 😮.”

“Now I’m BLIND cuz of these damn TEETH 💪🏾😂💛💛”

“Damn you should have left your smile alone.”

One Instagram user was torn between Marcille’s new smile and old one. They added that even though they liked the model’s new smile, they also felt there was nothing wrong with other ones. “Teeth great……with that said. The old was the same.❤️”

The mother of three revealed her new smile earlier this month in an Instagram post and received mixed reviews. Although many felt Marcille might have felt some kind of dissatisfaction with her former smile, there is no clear explanation of what prompted her to make the adjustment. In March, Marcille posted a clip of her apparently visiting the dentist’s office as she prepped to get some work done.

In the recording she said: “So I’m about to go under. I would not go under unless God was taking me outside of Dr. Khan. He literally the best of the best in every way possible. Dr. Austin captaining this ship.I’m getting a little emo. It’s not the drugs. It’s like the beginning of the end of a really, really big battle and journey, and, like, we literally did it.”

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.
