‘Let’s Not Forget to Add a Little Body Roll’: Gabrielle Union Gives Fans an Eyeful When She Flashes Them While Doing the ‘Cuff It’ Dance Challenge

Beyoncé’s “Cuff It” dance challenge has just about everybody swaying their hips, clapping and grooving across social media; this includes Gabrielle Union

Via a video posted to Instagram, the actress joined in on the current trend. In it, Union is seen cycling through a handful of outfits as she does the popular dance craze. “When you have 5 hair and wardrobe changes in a couple hours and you are counting down the hours until you see your man #cuffit #cuffingseason #SpringTwists #protectivestyles,” she captioned the post.

In the seconds’-long clip, Union gave her fans more than an eyeful of her trendy mini skirt and moto jacket, pencil skirt and blouses and oversized blazers. One of the most notable moments, that you can miss in the blink of an eye, occurs when Union casually flashes fans, showing off her nude-colored bra.

“When you flashed us. Definitely something I would do,” wrote one person. Others simply commented, “[heart emoji]…wait a minute did we just get flashed?” and “Not the quick flash!”

The “Cheaper By The Dozen” actress was also applauded for her execution of the popular, yet simple dance moves. In past posts, Union has referred to herself as a bit rhythmically challenged. 

“Yassss. The quick change Pros! And let’s not forget to add a little body roll while we are at it! Lol” and “Make more videos like this one your moves are fantastic,” read just two of the messages complimenting Union’s dance skills. 

Other fans, however, found themselves captivated by the actress’ appearance. More than a few said she resembled a music superstar. “You look like the young Janet Jackson here,” read a comment. A second social media user commented, “Got you looking like Janet!!” A third added, “Why gabby look like Janet Jackson in some of the videos?”

While it was obvious Union was on set, it was not clear exactly what project on which she is currently working. However, fans are certain that it must be one of her two popular TV shows

“Please tell me that’s MARY JANE!!”

“Let me guess, we are expecting another season of ‘LA finest.’”

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.
