However, she isn’t leaving us with nothing. She’s joining in with the rest of the banging baes out there and giving us all sorts of summer bawdy that we can’t get enough of. She has one of the most incredible bodies in the game and she’s not letting up at all.

Source: Allen Berezovsky / Getty Do public figures owe it to their fans to divulge their personal business? The question seems simple, but the answer is more profound than a simple yes or no. Yesterday, comedienne Jess Hilarious was “outed,” by her alleged sister, for getting plastic surgery. Photos of Jess post-op surfaced on Instagram then Twitter until they had been retweeted so many times, they’ll forever remain in the depths of the Internet. Fans are either outraged Jess lied about having work done on her petite frame or at the people who feel it’s their business what she does with her body. Polarizing. Celebrities like Khloe Kardashian have profited off their “weight-loss” journeys. In 2017, Khloe became the host of E!’s Revenge Body, where she guided the transitions of everyday people seeking a transformation. However, the decision to use Khloe as a host was met with controversy since it’s speculated she obtained her curvy shape by way of plastic surgery. their argument, it’s not about getting plastic surgery, but using your platform in a fraudulent manner that misleads your audience. Squats + lunges does not a Kardashian body make. In the era of social media, it’s easy for public figures to portray an unattainable image that shifts and molds the beauty standard. Women who desperately try to achieve plastic surgery results through everyday routines don’t have the same results. Women have also died on surgery tables trying to achieve the desired Instagram look. Men have stepped into the plastic surgery conversation. Kanye West, whose mother died after undergoing plastic surgery, revealed he liposuction after feeling pressure to lose weight. It is rumored Drake had his abs chiseled. A New York man recently died in the Dominican Republic after getting a similar procedure. Operating under the guise of exercise to uphold a facade can be dangerous and ultimately misleading. On the flip side, society, which operates from the White gaze, has always determined the beauty standard and women who just want to live up to it are human. Wanting to be desired, a la Ayesha Curry, is human and we all have insecurities that influence our decisions. It’s understandable why women get plastic surgery, why it’s so easy to fall into the pressure of looking a certain way. It’s hard to place blame on one party more than the next when each end of the spectrum upholds the standard. So what say you readers, are celebrities obligated to divulge the work they’ve had done?

Source: Prince Williams / Getty The gang’s back in the A on tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta . We begin with Stevie, Mimi, Bambi, Scrappy, Rasheeda, and Kirk kicking it. Rasheeda rehashes her problem with Jasmine again. It doesn’t help that Jasmine has been talking smack on social media about Rasheeda, and Kirk hasn’t even told Rasheeda that he has been directly in touch with Jasmine lately. This is going to go swimmingly once it all hits the fan. As we all know by now, Yung Joc as a salon called Eshelon. His business partner, Sharonda, is the one who gave him all those wacky hairstyles that kept blowing up the #TheBlogs. Anyway, Joc has been having issues with Sharonda. He’s the investor, but she’s the one who runs the shop. Apparently, she doesn’t get along with Kendra, Joc’s girl, or anyone for that matter. She has run stylists out of the shop and is running his investment into the ground. That’s Joc’s side of the story so he asks Shekinah to check on the shop for him. Then we touch on Joc being tight that Kendra doesn’t want to have kids with him. He got some nerve, but anyway, he still plans to propose so that’s that, for now. Let’s fast forward a bit. Shekinah goes to the salon and there’s not even a receptionist on duty. Sharonda get an attitude, of course, when this is brought up. She also tells Shekinah that they don’t need a receptionist. And if she’s so pressed about that then she can do it herself. Then Sharonda decides to take a break and let Shekinah handle things. Shekinah gives Joc the bleak report about how unprofessional his business partner actually is, but agrees to have a heart to heart with her. Then Shekinah calls Joc during her break and starts going off on him. Joc is actually ziplining in the woods with the fellas. Speaking of the fellas, they rightfully question his relationship with Sharonda because there’s a lot of tension between them and knowing Joc, it could be sexual tension. Joc denies ever having relations with Sharonda, but you know he gets down. Do we believe it or nah? Shekinah catches Sharonda after her break, in a calmer state, and asks her what all the tension is about. Sharonda says it’s because Joc creates favoritism amongst stylists and gets inappropriate with them. We will finish this situation next week because you know Shekinah is about to go around gossiping. Finally, we end the episode with Karlie Redd and Mo attempting to get therapy from Dr. Jeff Gardere. It ends with Karlie telling Mo he doesn’t support her. Mo takes off his ring and storms out. Jeff stays behind with Karlie and tells her not to allow disrespect, to keep her dignity, and move on. Then they end with a hug and Karlie will probably have a new man by next week.

Source: AUDU ALI MARTE / Getty Triple Suicide Bombing Leaves At Least 30 People Dead A major tragedy hit northeastern Nigeria on Monday that left dozens of people dead. According to The New York Times , at least 30 people were killed in a triple suicide bombing, according to emergency services. Sources say the attacks bear the markings of the Boko Haram jihadist group. On Sunday, three bombers detonated their explosives outside a hall in the town of Konduga, where soccer fans were viewing a game on T.V. Usman Kachalla, the head of operations for the Nigerian emergency management agency, explained on Monday, “The death toll from the attack has so far increased to 30. We have over 40 people injured.” Ali Hassan, who heads a self-defense group in Konduga, said the attack occurred around 9 p.m. on Sunday and the operator of the hall had prevented one of the attackers from entering the crowded venue. “There was a heated argument between the operator and the bomber who blew himself up,” Hassan said by telephone, adding that two other bombers were among the crowd at a tea stall nearby when they detonated their vests. “Nine people died on the spot, including the operator, and 48 were injured,” Hassan said. Kachalla of the emergency management agency said that the large number of fatalities was because responders couldn’t reach the site of the explosion quickly and they were ill equipped to deal with the large numbers wounded. Boko Haram remains a suspect in the tragedy. They’ve led a decade-long campaign to create a hard-lined Islamist state in northeastern Nigeria. The last suicide bomb attack was just in April, when two bombers blew themselves up outside the garrison town of Monguno, wounding one soldier while killing another soldier and a vigilante. So far, Boko Haram has claimed 27,000 lives and forced about two million people to flee their homes. Prayers and condolences to those who lost people in the attack.

A source from the Treasury office told the New York Times that Mnuchin really delayed the release because he feared that Trump would interfere with the $20 bill seeing the light of day. Mnuchin denies these allegations. Another unnamed source from the bureau said they viewed a digital image and metal engraving plate of the $20 bill and confirmed that the design looks almost complete. Len Olijar, the director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, echoed Mnuchin and claimed that the bureau “was never going to unveil a note design in 2020.” He added that releasing the $20 bill next year will make it vulnerable for counterfeiters and that the image of the bill that has been leaked doesn’t have any of the needed security features.

So, I went to tons of open calls. I went to all the agencies and I got turned down like round after round after round. I was in the suburbs like I need to move. I need to figure out how I’m gonna do this I would get on the train and I would pay my own money to go to all the open castings.” Despite her passion she was always clear that modeling was a career path and not the sum of who she was. She stayed grounded by “being around family being around friends and just remembering that this doesn’t make who you are.” View this post on Instagram Today is an amazing day!

Smile baby! #yougotthis #goodmorning @manleyphotography @tiffanirainsmua A post shared by Tanya Angelique (@tanyaangelique) on Feb 8, 2019 at 6:39am PST She saw social media as a tool and not the measure of her success. “Just because you are a model that doesn’t mean all of your self-worth is based off of likes.” When she wasn’t attending traditional go sees she was wrestling her way into fashion related events. She showed up at “anything I could find just to get a taste of it in the beginning.” View this post on Instagram Where are you now that I need you? A post shared by Tanya Angelique (@tanyaangelique) on Jan 11, 2019 at 6:42pm PST “I used to sneak into fashion week just to watch.” She learned what was considered normal and professional from these excursions. She observed Pat McGrath managing her team without raising her voice at them, and Gigi Hadid hanging out while waiting for last looks. “You just see the way people act and just the mannerisms, just how people speak and how just the culture is. It was just amazing to see like just the bright lights, the models, and all of the clothes. It was like ‘Wow! This is real life!’” View this post on Instagram Black is the new black. @manleyphotography A post shared by Tanya Angelique (@tanyaangelique) on Jan 17, 2019 at 8:03am PST She avoided the allure of the bright lights while networking and advises other models to do the same. “Don’t fall into the trap of oh it’s the fashion industry lets go out to every party every night. You definitely don’t wanna do that or you’re gonna get lost in the sauce.” Her method of learning is still a common practice. “A lot of people are still sneaking into fashion week just standing outside to see if someone will let them in,” she revealed. The industry has let her in all the way. She’s booked runways shows, print ads, and commercials. She credits part of her recent success to choosing to work with agency that doesn’t marginalize the potential of black models, a recurring issue in the industry. View this post on Instagram I’M SO IN LOVE with this BRAVE WOMAN. I’ve betrayed her. I’ve not loved her at full capacity. I’ve fed her lies and once told her she wasn’t good enough. I’ve allowed her to be broken. I’ve allowed her to run through brick walls & battle for others who won’t even stand for her. I couldn’t stop individuals from abandoning her, yet I’ve seen her still get up to be a light to the world and love others despite all. I’ve stood paralyzed by fear as she faced death alone, watching her fight for her life. Forgive me for not going to war for you like you do for others. This QUEEN is a WARRIOR. She’s not perfect but the Master calls her WORTHY! She’s UNSTOPPABLE. Gracefully broken but beautifully standing. She is love. She is life. She is transformation. She is grace. She is BRAVE!

We just need one black girl for the agency. Oh, we have enough. But it’s important to have an agent that understands there’s a job for everyone.” She praised her agents for being “aggressive” in seeking opportunities for her and challenged other model representatives to rethink their perspective of client expectations.

Oh, we have one. We already have a black girl with an afro . We already have this look already. This again? It’s important for people to understand. No! You can have ten, twenty, and they can still books jobs. There’s enough for everybody and if they don’t have enough jobs, they should make more jobs to include everyone.” The idea that the modeling industry should better represent the world it seeks to persuade is not a new one but it’s usually watch dog organizations leading the charge and not working models. “I just feel like there might be more space for just more! More inclusivity and more access for people to join the industry, because right now it’s just such a closed community and it’s just so hard for people who are not a part of it to just join in. It should just be easier.” Angelique is so passionate about it she plans to develop her own agency in the future to pursue the more she envisions. She’s partly inspired by McGrath’s entrepreneurship. “I love her,” she squealed. “Like how inspiring is that? A black woman, a curvy plus size woman, and she’s a boss.” DON’T MISS: MODEL MONDAY: Quan Michelle Is Coming Back For Baltimore MODEL MONDAY: Aba Forewa Is Going Full Force MODEL MONDAY: Christina Mendez Kept Her Children First On Her Climb To The Top [ione_media_gallery src=”https://hellobeautiful.com” id=”3028696″ overlay=”true”]
