Kim Fields Delivers a Hilarious Clapback at Podcasters Who Called Living Single’s Women Unattractive
October 9, 2026
The audacity is off the charts! That’s the reaction from Living Single fans (ours included) after a brazen, ash-drenched, mouth-breathing crew had the nerve to label the cast of the cherished ’90s sitcom as “unattractive.”
Now, the uproar has grown so loud that one of the show’s stars has stepped into the conversation.
Earlier this week, the hosts of The Views From The 7 podcast ignited backlash after a discussion they had about Living Single circulated widely on Black social media.
“No one watched Living Single and said they are attractive,” one of the men said. “You didn’t say they was ugly, but nobody say they was attractive.
“They weren’t Girlfriends,” added another.
Another panelist also pointed out Maxine Shaw’s “Mystikal braids” as the group debated how men were dating the character portrayed by Erika Alexander.
As you can imagine, the group has been dragged across the internet as people rushed to defend the Queen, Kim Fields, Kim Coles and Erika Alexander.
HelloBeautiful reports that one Reddit commenter described the cast on the beloved sitcom as “real everyday people,” adding that their relatability was likely part of the show’s appeal. Others immediately started naming their favorites, with Maxine, Regine, and Khadijah getting love throughout the discussion.
KevOnStage also joined the online conversation, and in his comments, Kim Fields, who portrayed Regine Hunter on the Fox sitcom, weighed in.
“Da Fuq?!” she wrote, much to the delight of fellow commenters who wondered where the group garnered the audacity to weigh in on anyone’s looks.
As you can imagine, these “podcasters” have been getting draaaaaaaagged within an inch of their musty microphones.
