Social media influencer and “Basketball Wives” personality Brittany Renner is once again drawing attention — and divided opinions — after posting a video on Instagram modeling a skimpy two-piece bikini from Fashion Nova.
In the video, shared Wednesday, Renner, 35, showcased the brand’s “Heat Winds Skort 2 Piece Bikini,” posing and moving in the revealing outfit that left little to the imagination. The caption read simply:
“@FashionNova Outfit: Heat Winds Skort 2 Piece Bikini.”
The post comes weeks after Renner ended a high-profile relationship with rapper Kevin Gates and stepped away from the modest style she adopted during a period of exploring Islam, when she frequently wore a hijab. Renner has previously clapped back at online critics who questioned the rapid shift in her public image and wardrobe choices.
Instagram users flooded the comments with a range of reactions. Supporters praised Renner’s confidence and body positivity, with many commending her for embracing her personal style post-breakup. “This is her era,” one commenter wrote, echoing a common sentiment among fans who viewed the video as a celebration of self-expression.
Others were more critical, accusing Renner of inconsistency after her public embrace of modesty. Comments questioned whether her recent religious journey was genuine, with some calling the bikini post “performative” or hypocritical. A subset of reactions expressed disappointment, referencing her earlier content in hijabs and more covered-up looks.

Renner has not publicly responded to the latest wave of comments on this specific post. She has addressed similar criticism in the past, telling followers she does not seek permission or forgiveness for her choices.
The influencer, who first gained fame through fitness modeling and a 2017 memoir, “Judge This Cover,” has built a large following on Instagram, where she promotes fashion, lifestyle and wellness content. She has collaborated with Fashion Nova multiple times, including during her more conservative phase.
The latest video quickly racked up thousands of likes and views, fitting a pattern for Renner’s posts that often blend promotion with personal narrative. As of Thursday evening, the reactions continued to pour in, highlighting ongoing fascination with Renner’s evolving public persona.
