‘This Is Just Gross’: Ice-T’s Wife Coco Austin Goes Viral for Posting Risqué Pics as Fans Warn Her to ‘Save It for Your Husband’

Critics are uncomfortable with Ice-T’s wife, Coco Austin, showing off her figure in a teeny-weeny thong bikini.

The former model and video girl was feeling patriotic as she posed poolside in red mule shoes and a red, white, and blue swimsuit with white stars covering her delicate nether region and nipples.

The online content creator, 46, uploaded the Fourth of July photo dump as a free treat for fans.

Coco wrote in the caption, “By popular requests, my traditional 4th of July bikini pics,” and teased, “More pics coming soon on my Fan page.” Subscribers are paying $19.99 a month for intimate images and videos.

Supporters flooded her Instagram comments with fire and heart-eye emojis. Some followers gushed that she was beautiful and “super sexy” and that she has been “one of the baddest for decades yet so underrated.”

However, when the images were reshared by the Daily Mail, Ice-T’s wife took a bashing for leaving little to the imagination and overdoing enhancements of her bodacious 5-foot-2 figure.

A disapproving reaction said, “She should have stopped several implants and injections back.”

Another said, “Ew…. Please, save the photos for your husband and your fan page. Or is that what this is? Trying to rustle up more $$ from strangers.”

“This is just gross. She is totally deformed. She looks like a freak. Cover up FFS,” scoffed a second user on the tabloid platform.

Hecklers also described Austin’s appearance as “grotesque” and as outrageous as Bianca Censori. “She’s almost as bad a Kaynes wife,” a critic boasted.

Another added, “The vulgarity, the distaste. Save it for your husband, thanks.”

Austin has been married to rapper Ice-T, 69, for 22 years. They welcomed a daughter named Chanel in 2015. The rapper is also dad to LeTasha Marrow, 49, and Tracy Marrow Jr., 33, from past relationships. 

The salacious photos also provoked some critics to take aim at her parenting. One remark stated, “I find her very tacky and without class. Do better for your daughter. I believe it a challenge for her to see how small she can get the clothes…smh.”

Another outraged detractor wrote, “IS THERE ANY RESPECT FOR HER DAUGHTER TO DRESS LIKE THAT. MONEY CAN’T BUY CLASS. AS YOU GET OLDER DRESS WITH CLASS.”

In Austin’s defense, a fan responded, “How dreadfully ageist. Women are always judged by society in a way men are not; especially as they age.” The model has made a name for herself in entertainment for being a pinup model and shows no signs of covering up to appease hecklers.

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.
