Not My Coco! Ice-T Slams Critics Of His Wife’s Fourth Of July Outfit: ‘Go Do Some Sit-Ups’

Ice-T doesn’t play any games behind Coco Austin–and he, once again, proved that when he came for necks (and stomachs) online.

The actor met critics in his wife’s Instagram comment section on the Fourth of July. Coco caused a lil’ commotion after posing in a red crop top, a white thong, and heeled sandals. Amid more than 3,000 comments, some folks critiqued the amount of exposed skin for a “mother” and “wife.”

Not one to hold back, Ice-T let folks know their presence on Coco’s page is optional.

“If you have a problem with Coco…why do you still follow her??? Weirdo sh*t,” Ice-T wrote.

Ice-T Disses Critic Who Suggested Coco Leave Risque Looks For Her Husband

TheLaw & Order: SVUactor reiterated his “unfollow” suggestion to a commenter on Coco’s post.

@cindirama wrote:

“I can’t believe your husband is ok with you showing half of your munch and one day your kid too you beautiful you can be classy n sexy it’s time to leave that in your room with your husband.”

Ice-T replied, “Simply unfollow.” But for another critique, the former rapper had his own physique clapback.

@godisgood02 wrote: “You are a mother…how do you think your daughter will feel when she sees these pictures??”

“@godisgood02 Go do some sit-ups b***h. Lol,” Ice-T clapped back.

As mentioned, this isn’t the first (or second time) Ice-T has gone insult-for-insult with his wife’s critics. In August 2021, he took to Twitter to address comments about Coco breastfeeding their then-five-year-old.

Meanwhile, Coco hasn’t addressed any backlash over her risque Independence Day look. In her post caption, she revealed she was celebrating the holiday in Arizona. As of Wednesday (July 5), the post has garnered over 91,000 likes.
