Reginae Carter Defends Friend Accused of Trying to Steal Spotlight During Mexico Birthday Trip

Reginae Carter had her friends wear matching looks on her birthday trip. Fans noticed one of her friends, reality star Emily B’s daughter Taina Williams, did her own thing and seemed to be attempting to steal the attention. Carter defended her pal against the haters that suspected there was a dress code.

Carter took a few of her friends on a birthday vacation to Los Cabos, Mexico. She shared a few pictures of the group following the same color scheme for certain outings.

In the photo she shared on Sunday, it seems like the color all the friends agreed to wear was a light pastel pink, while Carter worn a hot pink to stand out. Williams decided to also wear hot-pink short body-hugging dress with sleeves.

In the 20-year-old’s caption she wrote, “Barbie Dreams.”

One hater instantly noticed that Williams threw off the color scheme. “Someone missed the memo”

Carter defended her friend and replied, “it wasn’t a memo. Shut up and like the picture or just scroll.”

More fans commented about noticing that Williams didn’t follow the dress code.

“First of all tell that other girl in the hot pink it ain’t her birthday step back.”

“Idk, the first girl stole the shine, I would think it was her bday”

“Somebody out of dress code you have to watch even the smallest shit.”

“Taina girl that dress, Def standing out!”

“Somebody didn’t get the memo”

Other than this wardrobe mishap, Carter has been receiving a lot of praise from about her look on her vacation. On Friday, the young reality star shared the first photo from the trip and fans adored it. She was in a two-piece snake-print swimsuit she captioned “#naetakes 20.” Fans left comments under her photo like “Girl you is f*cking fine.”

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.
