Actress ridiculed after CRYING that she has to shop at H&M due to financial struggles
MTV star B. Simone has been brutally mocked after tearfully claiming that she can no longer afford to shop at Bloomingdale's due to her dwindling finances.
The actress and comedian, 35, broke down in tears over her money problems on an episode of her popular podcast, Let's Try This Again.
'My finances, the budgeting... you see how I am, nitpicking every little thing. I've never been like that!' she sobbed to friend Shekinah Yon.
'We were in Bloomingdale's yesterday, I was like, 'We have to go to H&M!'' she continued.
'I just don't have it to spend. The liquid. I'm used to having liquid.'
The former Wild 'N Out star admitted that she'd invested most of her money into her own app.
The app, which costs $9.99 a month, gives fans access to exclusive video podcasts, inspirational quotes, and the ability to connect with other subscribers.
'Because I've invested in this app and this platform I don't have the liquid,' she stated.
'I've got the money, but not yet. It's coming. I have it in assets. I have it in jewelry. But I'm used to seeing a certain amount in my account,' she added.
Social media users slammed Simone over her comments, with many bringing up statements she'd made in the past about refusing to date a man with a 9-to-5 job.
In 2020, the star told Nick Cannon that she only wanted to date entrepreneurs or a man with 'CEO status.'
'He can't be like clocking in and clocking out. No. I think entrepreneurs should date entrepreneurs… you're not going to understand my lifestyle,' she said at the time.
'You're not going to understand why I'm up at 3 a.m. He has to be an entrepreneur or moving into that direction.'
Fans brought the comments back up following her H&M confession, with one writing on X (formerly Twitter), 'B. Simone once said that she will never date a guy who works a 9 to 5 job but now she can't even afford to spend money on clothes.'
Another commented, 'Looks like she needs a 9-5 job to help her balance her lifestyle and finances.'
A third wrote, 'This the same woman that was up and said "I'll never date a guy with a 9-5." Life has a funny way of humbling people I don't feel bad for her at all.'
Another user joked, 'This is a damn tragedy. Ok folks it's time we set up a GoFundMe. H&M? No way, sweetie.'
One fan asked, 'She used to be a millionaire. What happened?'
A sixth commented, 'B. Simone said she couldn't date a 9-to-5 dude… now she broke, and 9-to-5 dudes have health insurance, 401(k)s, and credit scores over 700. God got jokes.'
B. Simone shot to fame after joining MTV's long-running sketch comedy show Wild 'N Out in 2017.
She spent nine seasons on the show and became one of its most popular cast members.
Outside of the series, Simone managed to launch an acting career and starred in a number of star-studded reality shows, including VH1's Girls Cruise with Lil Kim and Mya, and Hip Hop Squares.
Thanks to Wild 'N Out, Simone's comedy career also took off and led to her opening up for Martin Lawrence on tour.
More recently, she's become known for her popular podcast Let's Try This Again, and is now focused on launching a community app.
