First, I like to give special thanks to Cotten Kandi. I was out of town this weekend enjoying my family reunion in St. Louis, MO and during my absence she made sure the site was updated. Please check out her blog, and show her some love.
Honestly, I am concerned about Angela Simmons. I’ve seen these pictures circulating, and people made comments like, “she’s just dieting,” or “she’s still dieting.” I think we have gone passed a step pass dieting into an area of concern.
Hollywood is hard and you have to fight everyday to love your curves. So many young women are falling victim to eating disorders and plastic surgery to fix things that aren’t broken, because the industry set standards that are unrealistic. I love the Simmons family, and from watching Angela Simmons on Run’s House, I really thought she was unique and had a strong sense of self, and I do not want her to fall into the trap. So I hope everything is alright, and that Reverend Run is staying on top his daughters, even if they are grown, because the industry is just not nice.

This is sad! I watch an episode of Run’s house where she was trying to lose 20lbs and basically stated she was going to eat!

I made a mistake in my previous comments. “She said she was not going to eat”

Not eating is not a healthy way to lose weight, it actually sets your body up to gain more weight and store more fat. Eat healthy, reward yourself, and exercise.

I didn’t ever think this day would come for Angela but she clearly has a disorder… yeah, anytime you turn around and your shoulder blades are pokin’ out then you need to eat whatever is not tied down.

I agree, she’s much too thin. Some of these young celebrities confuse think with ultra skinny. I hope Run or her mother intervenes.

I was at this benefit. Angela looked fine and she was eating. Her back doesn’t look like that photo, I think it was the twisting and the angle. She was glowing and looked like a happy healthy young lady.

I loved the curvier, shapely Angela of the past BUT I hope that Jan is right and nothing is wrong with her.

[...] side is best friend/sister Angela Simmons. Maybe Necole Bitchie was right, maybe it was just the dress that made Angela seem too thin. She’s definitely slimmed down, but looks healthier here. [...]
