fact of the matter is this is a GROWN ASS WOMAN yall. If she wants to show her ass, so be it. Who gives a hoot if you're disappointed? She's still goin on with or without us.

It WAS done in a decent manner. Just as acedawg gave us a taste of flesh.... How many of us were like "dang he shole was disappointin for Omega!?

I've seen guys bearing it all while displaying their affiliation and thought to myself that's not cool at all. BTW, this isn't about Keisha being a Delta. The reality is acedawg can dance around naked in a million videos, but "Rudy" would need one cameo dressed like this to be called a video ho. Double standards are a reality.

There are plenty of threads in which we state the good and mostly the bad about other celebrities. We call Whitney crackish or Jenny J-Ho but defend "Rudy" and her life decisions as being grown??? Sorry, she's not exempt from people stating their disappointment.

Having met her I've known that Keisha isn't "Rudy" so I'm not really shocked. I'm just surprised it's out in the public.

i totally agree with you. no disrespect to the members of alpha kappa alpha, but what if we discussed the risque sex scenes in jason's lyrics with jada pinkett-smith; or what if we talked about how syleena johnson, a zeta, can't ever keep or find a good man because of her song lyrics? see where i'm going with this? i think the pictures are tastefully sexy and i applaud soror for wanting to prove to the world that she is in fact a grown woman.

I think Rudey (yeah her name is Keisha, but she's always gonna be Rudey to me, lol) looks great in these photos. The hair, makeup and body are on point (arms could be more toned but anyway...). I think they're her, I think she wants to be seen as an adult, and I think they're an effort on her part to get people to stop seeing her as Rudey (just happens to not be working).

I couldn't and wouldn't even begin to judge her for choosing to do these photos. She has no responsibility towards me, and in this venture is obviously only representing herself.

I dont really see the problem here. It's not a big deal - they're not explicit, but they ain't art either, just another throwaway visual. I don't think it is the best way for her to get back into the limelight though...

librasoul22 12-24-2003 02:22 AM

Well I don't think the photos (if they are her) look that bad.

About her being gay or whatever, who cares? And also the fact that it is a sketchy rumor at BEST, it probably doesn't merit a mention at all.

I guess everyone is a little weirded out because we were used to seeing her as this cute innocent kid and now she is like whoa.

And ITA with exquizit's post about a double standard. Great point!

In my personal opinion, I see nothing wrong with these photos. If it is her, she looks nice. She's a grown up and the pictures are tasteful.
That's the job industry that she is in. I didn't see an issue with Blair Underwood, a Sigma, showing his bum in Sex in the City. I rather liked that episode to tell you the truth.:D

Conskeeted7 12-24-2003 10:13 AM

I don't think Keisha looks out of line or too provacative. She is an adult and just because we are used to seeing her as the Cosby daughter doesn't mean that she has to keep her childish ways. If she were in lingerie and with men, or naked, I'd have more of an opinon. I think she's pretty and has a nice figure so what's the problem? Greek or not, it's tasteful.

Impressed SF 12-24-2003 09:02 PM

Well Now!
 
What would make her want to do that?? :confused: IS she confused...alone...need a friend. If you are going to take photos like that at least make sure your pictures don't make it to the internet and let everyone know your business. But hey it could be worse.... she could be like Paris Hilton :eek: Now that would not be a good look!

AKABEAUTY 12-25-2003 12:06 AM

I think that the pictures look great. Yes, its a bit out of character for "Rudy" from the Cosby Show but thats just it, "Rudy" is a character...we dont know the real woman. This may not be out of character for Keisha. As others have said, the pictures could have been alot worse.

ivygreen 12-26-2003 09:12 PM

Is it me or am I in total denial!!!! That ain't Rudy or Keisha!!!! The girl is pretty though. Maybe I'm just still looking through rose colored glasses and still seeing the Old Rudy but looking at the New Keisha and can't put the two together???!! Never the less I look just as good in my freak photos an te are definately worse than these!!!(lmao)!!! SIKE!!! Tossing hair and looking great...I love beig Miss 1908!!!!

CountryGurl 01-12-2004 08:32 PM

Just in case
 
The making of the Chingy video is on if you guys wanted to watch.

RedefinedDiva 01-12-2004 08:50 PM

FORGET KEISHA!!! Is that JASON WEAVER singing the hook?! That's my baby!

*singing "Whenever you get that love ambition, baby....*

LOL!!

Anyway, I can't hate. Keisha is really pretty. I just didn't want her to do anything "distasteful." Do your thing girl!

Anybody know where I can get Jason's phone number? Hook ya girl up! :D

nikki1920 01-12-2004 08:56 PM

RD: you were thinking the same thing I was thinking!!! (I thought it was Ray J at first)

AND CAN I PLEASE GET THE NUMBER OF KEISHA'S HAIRSTYLIST???!! I WANT HER HAIR!!!!!!!!!!

She looks REALLY good...I'm jealous..

:D

CountryGurl 01-12-2004 09:06 PM

The video wasn't distasteful at all (she didn't show all her goods and stuff).

Nikki I'm with you...her hair is the bomb!

There is no such thing as a double standard when it comes to men and women. What there is is two separate standards. As there should be. Having said that, I don't see anything wrong with the pics. They are tasteful and she is a grown woman now, not little Rudy.

Secondly, people are free to "judge" whether they are tasteful or not.

No doubt

SiempreCansada 01-13-2004 05:32 PM

I'm not greek as I' ve mentioned in various posts prior to this. Keisha is real, and Rudy is fiction. It's hard for the public to let child stars grow up and be an adult w/o always associating that person w/ their old character. Malcolm Jamal Warner isn't Theo, Tempest Bledsoe isn't Vanessa, & Keisha Knight-Pulliam isn't Rudy! Keisha is grown and can make her own decisions. The pictures are nicely done. Who gives a damn is she decides to become a Playboy Bunny, reconnect w/ Hollywood, join the military, dye her orange/electric yellow, go sky diving, open a restaurant, be a porn star or whatever...SHE'S GROWN!!!! As long as she is not wearing any paraphernalia of DST when she's doing it, I don't feel that there's nothing wrong w/ it. Double standards are a bitch! No one cares seems to care about various men that are greek (IFC/NPHC/local) and may have done a few films, movies, photo spreads, but no one says anything about that. It's usually written off as it's just a man being a man, and double standards are a bitch! So back to Keisha...the WOMAN is beautiful and I too love her hair!!!!! Ms. Knight-Pulliam, do ya damn thing! No disrespect intended towards anyone.

Intense1920 01-14-2004 02:23 PM

I just saw the Chingy video and I also want Keisha's hair. LOL.
Why couldn't they show Jason Weaver from the front? that's who I wanted to see, forget Chingy. LOL

Wonderful1908 01-15-2004 12:52 AM

I watched the video and thought it was fine. The worst thing was her standing there in a bra.... come on I mean she looks good. I don't know about you but if you haven't stood there in a bra in front of your man well then hey tight on you....:p
Disclaimer-
(Yes I know it 's a video and some of you wouldn't be on national tv standing in a bra or in provocative pics)

I like her on Celbrity Mole, I think she's the mole!

The making of Chingy's new video aired again last night. LOL @ him having the serious crush on Keshia.

COSIGN. Took the words out of my mouth.

I finally saw the video and it wasn't bad at all. She still looks like Rudy to me especially because she's still the same height. So it was like Rudy (the character) playing dress up but I'm trying to dissociate the one from the other. Nothing scandalous about it. The photo shoot she did was for the next issue of King magazine. Sara (from Da Band) was in the last issue. It was my first time seeing the magazine and I was little surprised to see her like that.:)

I finally saw the video and it's pretty good. I also noticed that Keshia didn't grow that much taller since the Cosby Show days.

BTW - Her hair is tight!!!! :)

delph998 01-23-2004 12:40 PM

Keshia looked good in the video! She's absolutely beautiful!

ykimber 01-23-2004 12:41 PM

I just watched the video on MTV.com and I must says the video is actually one of Chingys better video's until it got to the very end with the hood rats dancing. Why o why must hood rats always show up!

Rats must be attracted to all the CHEESE (with multiple definitions of CHEESE).

Same for me when I saw the video. It's like her "Rudey" face is on a grown-up body. It's weird, but not shameful.

Intense1920 02-13-2004 11:18 PM

Black Men magazine
 
The magazine that her pictures are from has come out. They are from the February-March 2004 issue of Black Men magazine. I noticed her on the cover today at the grocery store.

Hey, I saw it too....last weekend, I was at the bookstore where your Alpha chapter soror (#5, Spr. 02) works. I expected it to be in a more....upscale magazine. I gave up on "Black Men" magazine when I was in high school, lol.
