Iman Slams Michelle Obama-Not A Great Beauty – Former supermodel Iman,who appeared to have lost her damn mind slammed Michelle Obama in an interview featured in this week’s edition of Parade.Iman tells Parade:
“Mrs. Obama is not a great beauty…But she is so interesting looking and so bright. That will always take you farther. When you’re a great beauty, it’s always downhill for you. If you’re someone like Mrs. Obama, you just get better with age.”
Michelle Obama became first Lady thanks to her brain not by exposing her body,so Iman STFU.
Was this taken out of context? Was this taken from an article, you know that sometimes a writer(s) like to take somethin from n’ run with it, creating nonsense.
Newaz, who cares, Michelle O. is THE lady on that hill! How many would just love to b in her shoes!
“Slams Michelle”? What a great, misleading headline.
I agree with Angela. This is a very misleading headline. I do not think that Iman was insulting Mrs. Obama but rather giving her a very esteemed and appropriate compliment. Mrs. Obama is the essence of so many beautiful attributes that make up for a woman who stands in a different class.
Media… it can be so misleading and unfortunately has the power to cause stife, misconseptions etc… Sad but true.

This broken arse somali is looking for a way to have a free food vouchers .And the only way she found for that is to diss a superbe woman.It is sad that even somalis can give their opinions on black matters when their arabs bastards
Beauty is really inside and it shows outside. Strip away the makeup and what do you get if a person has no character. Character takes you a long ,long, long way. Brains take you even farther when the looks are gone. she teaches how to give of yourself and help people every where. She knows who she is……She knows what she is here for…Her beauty is HER…Iman strip off everything and what do you have to offer
I believe that she made this statement because of a lack of self love. That statement is nothing but an outward mainfestion of how she feels about her own personal looks. In Africa she grew up in an environment where she was not as accepted because the was considered to be too “skinny”. She was only accepted in American because of her wafer thin body. I guess it is hard for her to grasp that American’s image of beauty is now becoming more diverse and less bias. She probably is wondering where she fits in now as far as “beauty” is concerned!
She didn’t “slam” Lady Obama. Most of us women in the world aren’t what the media portrays as great beauties. It’s not a “diss”, this is coming from a supermodel. She even says that those that are considered great beauties go downhill and Michelle will just look and be better as time goes on.
a good place __Sugarloves__the rich laddy who are rich and successful to support and pamper women
who will treat you like a king and for sugar babies who are
attractive and young to seek a generous benefactor to
mentor and take care of you. think twice!!
hey (kossinaa) stop hating monkey somalis r not arab bastards they just look better looking then other blacks with their big lips, big nose shit wire hair so call afro
Wow….
I say it’s a compliment, because great beauties are admired for their beauty which will fade anyway…. MRS. OBAMA being considered someone who has a superb quality that won’t fade. IS NOT AN INSULT….
Iman acknowledging that physical beauty fades is her saying to everyone that she is aware of the industry around her and that she is aware of herself….
We black people need to understand the lines before we start reading between them!!!!
hey (kossinaa) dnt be jelouse of us,its not our fault if god gave us the african beauti.,we are more african than ur black big nose is…born and made in africa unlike you slave and rise by a white men,
i look up to iman,she gave back alot to africa ..she didnt forget where she came from unlike most black do.. what iman said Was this taken out of context? we all love Mrs obama, she a very good role model
And Clarissa we as somalis are mostly skinny so that is not a problem,iman is love by many so it dnt matter what you think ….
iman i love you sister ….keep doin your thing,oxoxo
I’m actually ok if michelle did get slammed…i’m not sure where or how we’ve all universally determined that Michelle has a rock’n body…she has a butt the size of kansas, its like the elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about, no pun intended.
To Chirs,
Mrs. Obama has a figure that women of color just have it makes us unique. Our curves are celebrated with men of different cultures and backgrounds. Where as some women envy that shape. Its obvious u don’t know beauty when u see it.
