‘U Lookn Goooood’: Vivica A. Fox Scores Fan Praise For Being ‘Fine ASF’ Weeks After Actress’ ‘Swollen’ Appearance Opened the Floodgates to Critics

Vivica A. Fox is a masterpiece on and off the big screen. Compliments for the actress, 60, were plentiful as fans flocked to lay eyes on her in a recent Instagram post.

But in the Oct. 22 post, the “Kill Bill” breakout star put the kibosh on haters who dare ridicule her appearance. In the post, which severs as a promo for her hair line, Fox had followers swooning over a black and white fitted dress, her flawless glam makeup look, and, of course, her hair, which was compliments of “Tony” faux bang and ponytail from her line.

A fan raved, “I don’t care what people say about this lady she is still fine asf.” The sentiment was echoed by countless people who called the director gorgeous and beautiful in reactions filled with fire and wine glass emojis.

“I don’t see too many 60 year olds walking around looking this good,” a supporter declared. An equally loyal follower wrote, “U lookn goooooodt! Tf! Tell them to stop playin wit u! Bn that! Gone always be that! On yo worst day they could never!

Another person praised Fox for taking the high road and ignoring her critics. They wrote, “I’m so glad you didn’t respond to that bs. Classy.” Fox took in the kind words and even gave several responses in the form of a “like.”

For months, Fox’s appearance has been met with mixed reactions from onlookers. At times, she has been described as appearing “swollen” and bombarded with accusatory comments stating she butchered her beauty with plastic surgery, Botox, and fillers, all of which have led some social media users to deem her unrecognizable.

Even amidst praise for her looks, there were still hecklers who found their way into the post’s comment section. One person harshly declared the actress “another strong and independent single cat lady.”

A second user’s mean-spirited reaction read, “I’m confused. Are those three separate people or something?” seemingly alluding to Fox looking drastically different depending on the angles used to take the photos.

The discourse regarding her appearance has even been used to insult her peers like LisaRaye McCoy. While live chatting with fans, she was told, “You look more beautiful than Vivica Fox.” “The Players Club” star first defended Fox, saying, “That’s not nice,” but that she still received the compliment.

The NAACP Image Award winner has dished out a few witty responses to naysayers in the past, though her more recent public statements have focused on shutting down people who doubt that she has male suitors vying for her attention. According to Fox, she has her pick of the litter.

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.
