Why Chanel West Coast's Poolside Pics Have Fans Worried

Chelsea Chanel Dudley, better known as rapper and TV personality Chanel West Coast, treated fans to some steamy poolside pics on Instagram in late April 2020, sporting a cute, pink bikini … and a new look that has some fans worried. The rapper and host of MTV's Ridiculousness recently treated In Touch to a house tour, where she showed off her glam life, including black paper towels in her kitchen and special crystals she keeps in her dining room for positive energy. Thanks to the house tour, fans are well acquainted with Chanel's Los Angeles digs, and her poolside retreat. But fans are having an unexpected response to recent poolside pics. Some are even concerned about the rapper's body and well-being. One fan posed the question: "What did you do to your pretty face?" This comment garnered more than 300 likes and generated a lot of follow-up comments. Someone replied: "My [money] says botox." While another follower wrote: "She used to be so much more beautiful before the [botox] or surgery or whatever. Totally didn't need to do anything." Another poster commented that Chanel's face looked "swollen" while someone else said that Chanel's face looked, quote, "all puffy and augmented." Another person responded to these comments by saying: "Injections galore." Chanel responded to these questions from fans asking what she did to herself by saying, "Nothing lmao." Other fans pointed out that makeup, especially contouring, can create a very different look. So if Chanel is opting for a makeup-free day, her face is probably going to look pretty different. Chanel is no stranger to online negativity. In fact, the MTV star recently surprised fans by sharing a profanity-laced Snapchat rant where she complained that not enough people "liked" her material on Instagram. In February 2020, Chanel said, in part, "So, something I've realized is that being a friendly person makes less people f--- with you. Especially being in this industry [...] I just like people. I like everybody. Unless you give me a reason to not like you. [...] And if I follow you, I'ma like your pictures, unless it's like a really ugly bad picture maybe I won't like it." While Chanel didn't get specific, she started calling out her social media peers, complaining that they weren't reciprocating her love. She said: "I'm [...] famous on a million episodes of TV, and you got way less followers than me and I'm liking your [posts] and you don't ever wanna like my [posts]? [...] You think I'm desperate because I'm friendly and liking your [posts]?" The irony was not lost on fans that Chanel said she wasn't "desperate" for asking for more likes on social media. While it's clear Chanel isn't even a little bit shy to defend herself against haters, the MTV host does appear to deal with a lot of negativity. While she is mostly known for her contagious laugh on MTV's Ridiculousness, Chanel really has her heart set on her music career, and that's an arena in which she's struggled to be taken seriously. Chanel told TooFab that her time on TV might have been detrimental to her career and she's worried that fans just know her for her laugh and don't take her seriously as an artist. She explained: "People for some reason can't put two personalities together. If you actually go Google [...] Adele has the goofiest laugh ever. Wiz Khalifa has the goofiest laugh ever, but you know them for being artists. Nobody's gonna care that they got a goofy laugh. Me, on the other hand, you know me for my goofy laugh first, so then going and hearing my music as art. [...] I just think a lot of people like to hate on me." Poor Chanel! She can't catch a break with all the haters coming after her. That being said, she does seem remarkably resilient, so we hope she won't let it get her down.
