“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member moved her body to the sounds of “Ludacrismas” in front of her white-silver-and-gold Christmas tree while rocking a sparkly black mini dress, large gold hoops, a Santa hat, and a big grin.

The 53-year-old model isn’t in denial about her skills, however, admitting that she’s “not the best dancer.”

“‘Not the best dancer but dancing always makes me happy!’🖐🏾💃🏽🖐🏾@ludacris #happyholidays  #hiphopchristmas,” she captioned the video, which received more than 120,000 likes.

Bailey’s man, Fox Sports analyst Mike Hill, loved her moves and wasn’t ashamed to let his wife know it, commenting “You better get it, girl!!! ❤️❤️❤️” on her video. Her fellow “RHOA” co-star Drew Sidora also left some kind words after watching Bailey feel the beat, writing “This just made me so happy❤️You betta 🔥🔥🔥.”

The current 13th season of “RHOA” is Sidora’s first on the show, and Bailey is already a fan of the singer/actress and her conflict resolution skills. “She’s awesome,” she told People when asked of her feelings on Drew’s addition to the cast. “Like any friendship, we have a moment or two, but kudos to her that we were both woman enough to have a conversation and get past it. I think she’s a great addition to the show.”

Seeing Bailey creating her own cheerful choreography received mixed reactions from fans, ranging from entertained to embarrassed.

“When the edible hits and your jam comes on 💀🔥🔥🔥,” one fan joked.

“PLEASE STOP,” another begged.

“I see you had a couple peach Seagrams 😩🤣,” clowned a third.

“You not by yourself @cynthiabailey me too 😂😂,” a fourth commiserated. “But it’s okay as long as you are happy and enjoying yourself that all that matters.”

“@cynthiabailey you did alright 😂😂😂 I love it,” someone else commented.

Fans can keep up Cynthia as she continues to live her best life during the current season of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” airing Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

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.
