‘Calm Down’: La La Anthony’s Bikini Pic Causes Husband Carmelo Anthony to Send a Message

“Power’s” Lala Anthony escaped the cold of New York for a trip to the Dominican Republic where she had tails wagging and hearts pounding after posting a stunning bikini pic on the ‘Gram.

Even Anthony’s husband, NBA baller Carmelo Anthony, had to jump in the comments to tell his wife, “calmate cete calmo,” in other words, calm down!

Fans who can’t get enough of the stunning 38-year-old flooded her comments.

“She does nottt let up sheesh 😍”

“Beautiful and gorgeous Queen like always”

“Damn Lala 🔥 😍”

The radio-personality-turned-actress not only had her husband and fans going wild over the sexy photo, but also her industry peers.

Longtime friend Gabrielle Union chimed in with a comment of her own, insisting, sis, “take your foot off our necks!! 🔥🔥.”

Actress Grace Byers, who portrayed Anika Calhoun on “Empire”, gassed her friend with “stunning 🔥.”

Anthony is rarely spotted with her husband, whom she married in 2010 and shares 12-year-old son Kiyan Anthony with, since a trial separation in 2017. Allegations of cheating and rumors of possibly fathering another child seemingly dampened the love between the actress and 35-year-old NBA veteran.

The duo gave fans hope of a reconciliation in May 2019 when Anthony posted a sweet birthday photo and message to her husband. But before summer’s end the baller found himself entangled in another cheating rumor.

He quickly rebutted the rumors stating, “The only reason I’m addressing this is because this is affecting my family now and you got me out here looking crazy. Keep my family out this, man. Y’all trying to expose somebody’s wife, y’all exposing somebody’s kids. Can’t let this one slide, because this sh– ain’t cool no more. Peace.”

Whether they are truly on the road to reconciliation remains unknown, but at the very least they make it clear that they are more than committed to co-parenting.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
