“she so beautiful…”

Social media users stepped into The Shade Room’s comment section to defend Cheaves against the harsh criticism.
While Instagram user @teamjreall added, “It’s nothing wrong with how she looks, the world is just use to seeing women with make up or pictures with filters.”
While Omeretta added, “Y’all don’t wanna see how I look running errands”
Tami Roman wrote, “A pretty girl on a regular day just minding her business. There’s really nothing to see here 🤷🏽♀️”
Additionally, Cheaves herself even stepped in with a few words.
“I am not letting no acne or hyperpigmentation stop me from taking pics and being outside FULLY natural,” she said. “Idc! Idc! Never did never will .. yall gon take me however I am. Because all yall being funny KNOW what it give. Love yall 🩷”
As The Shade Room previously reported, Cheaves has largely remained transparent when speaking to fans about her appearance. In January 2023, the mother of one went viral after social media users accused her of bleaching her skin.
In response, Cheaves explained that she had recently undergone a chemical peel and shared up-close and personal footage of her skin.
Then, in April of that year, Cheaves took to social media to let fans know she dissolved her lip filler, per The Shade Room.
“The original plan was to get them dissolved to get them redone because I just had like too much filler in my lip. But now that I see myself without them, I’m not getting more filler put in my lip. For what?… I literally look cute… I actually look cute without that s**t, so…” she told fans via Snapchat.
Furthermore, Cheaves even shared advice for others who have had filler injected into their lips.
