‘Too Skinny’: La La Anthony’s New Photos Draw Concerns from Fans Who Say She’s ‘Dropping Weight Like Crazy’

La La Anthony’s recent post has fans concerned over her seemingly drastic weight loss. 

The radio host-turned-actress shared a carousel of images and one video on her Instagram which showed her posing on concrete steps. In the five photos, she can be seen sporting denim fringe shorts with a white short-sleeved crop top. The top of her Alexander Wang underwear peeked through her shorts and wrapped around her waistline. 

Anthony’s long brown tresses flowed down her back as she rocked a pair of clear shades. Her last slide featured a video of a woman who appears to be mean-mugging an invisible being.

“STARING AT A NEW YORK GIRL FOR TOO LONG,” was written over the video. 

Anthony captioned her upload, “New York girls be like….,” before tagging The Edit LDN, which is a global retail company that sells sneakers, streetwear, and collectibles. 

As of this writing, the “BMF” actress’ post has received over 47,000 likes with more than 540 comments. While many social media users noted how “beautiful” she looked, several individuals zoomed into Anthony’s seemingly thinner physique.

“Noooo go back Thick.”

“Bruh u skinny now.” 

“Omg la don’t get too skinny hope all is well.”

“She dropping weight like crazy. Don’t get too skinny my love.” 

One individual even accused Anthony of using a diabetic drug, writing, “Ozempic [eyes emoji].”

Nevertheless, there were also commenters who defended the TV personality against body shamers. One comment read, “She still bad asf, dude’s in the comments acting like , ‘ I wanted to get w/ you but now you ain’t ‘thick enough’ #foh.” 

Another one read, “I think that’s anybody lol if someone is starring too long.” 

Just a few months ago, fans voiced concern for Anthony after photos of her with strawberry-blond-colored hair drew comparisons to the Kardashians.

While many praised her new hairstyle at the time, several fans suggested that Anthony’s new look made her appear unrecognizable. 

But it’s completely normal for Anthony to frequently pop out in various new hairdos thanks to the celebrity stylist Arrogant Tae, aka Dionte Gray. The Chicago-born hairdresser has been doing Anthony’s inches for years and even helped her switch up her style with different colors and lengths.

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.
