Reality TV star Angela Simmons turned heads and sparked controversy at the 2024 BET Awards with her bold fashion choice: a bedazzled green gun clutch. Simmons, 36, proudly displayed the controversial accessory on the red carpet, smiling for the cameras and even pointing the piece directly at photographers. The choice of accessory didn’t sit well with fans, who criticized Simmons for seemingly glamorizing gun violence despite her personal experiences. The backlash on social media was swift, with many users calling out the star for her insensitivity and poor taste. Some fans referenced Simmons’ ex-fiancé, Sutton Tennyson, who tragically lost his life to gun violence in 2018. The incident left their son, Sutton Jr., without a father, making the choice of accessory even more questionable in the eyes of critics. The criticism ranged from accusations of bad styling to outright condemnation of Simmons’ actions, with many labeling the move as ‘tone deaf’ and ‘unnecessary.’ Overall, Simmons’ fashion choice at the awards show generated more controversy than admiration, overshadowing her stunning gown and accessories. As a public figure, Angela Simmons is sure to face further scrutiny and backlash over her red carpet stunt, as fans and critics alike continue to debate the appropriateness of her gun-inspired clutch.
