‘Either a Bad Photo Shop or a Bad Miami BBL’: Tami Roman Accused of Having a BBL After Flaunting Her ‘Cakes’ on the ‘Gram

Tami Roman’s new photos left fans wondering if the TV personality and actress received any work done to her butt after it looked more plump than normal. 

The 52-year-old uploaded two photos onto her Instagram showing her rocking an all-black ensemble as her copper bob loudly introduced itself. 

“Make it your ambition to live a quiet life, work hard & mind your business. Thessalonians 4:11,” Roman captioned her photo.

While many adored Roman’s new look, including “RHOA” star Marlo Hampton, who sent over fire emojis, it was Roman’s voluptuous shape that took over the conversation in her comment section. 

“What’s that sitting on the back of that car?”

“It’s the booty on the hood for me… c’mon cakes [red heart emojis]”

“Now Tammy what is wrong with this picture? Either bad photoshop or a bad Miami BBL…” 

If fans scroll down the former “Basketball Wives” star’s Instagram feed, she typically rocks loose outfits. In the photos that show her posing in bodycon fits, she does usually have a round apple bottom poking out.

Roman has not acknowledged fans’ questions about whether she had recently undergone surgery, however, the mother of two has confessed to receiving butt injections in the past. 

Roman got injections when she lived in Houston, Texas. In a 2017 interview with The Jasmine Brand, she explained that “it was one of those boot-leg places… I’m not going to tell you who did [the injections], but I live in Houston, I know strippers and I asked who the plug was.” 

In a 2016 episode of “The Doctors,” Roman was a featured guest who talked about regretting getting supplements put into her buttocks. 

“I got the booty injections and I hate it,” Roman admitted. “I thought it would do some good, I thought I was plumping it. Now, I just want to dump it, you know what I mean.”

Stating why she believes women enhance their physical features, Roman explained, “I don’t think women actually wanna do it. They think it’s cool but I actually broke an elevator yesterday. I was stuck in an elevator, had maximum capacity, five people — it was me, my boyfriend, and my ass.” 

Though she may not like her butt injections, Roman’s is not anti-surgery at all. 

“I’m fine with plastic surgery. I just wish people wouldn’t lie about it. They want us to all think that it’s real, you know what I mean.”

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.
