Coco Austin Refuses To Tone It Down After Critics Lash Out

The 46-year-old model recently addressed backlash over her daring photos and raunchy outfits, insisting she will continue to embrace her bold, sexy image.

From thong photos to splits and risqué shoots, Austin made it clear she isn’t holding back, and she has a fiery message for anyone who thinks she should tone it down.

Austin is doubling down on her bold approach to modeling.

During an appearance on the “Dumb Blonde Podcast” on Sunday, she recalled the reactions she often gets about her age.

“You hear all these comments, ‘Don’t you think you’re too old?’” she said. “I’m gonna go out with a thong on and do the splits! Everybody’s like, ‘When are you gonna stop doing the splits?!’ I’m like, ‘No, I’m doing it all. All the stuff that irritates the hell out of you? I’m gonna do it all until I die.’”

At 46, Austin remains unapologetic, insisting she will continue to do provocative poses and push boundaries in her modeling work, no matter how much some people disapprove.

She emphasized that nothing will stop her from expressing herself the way she wants.

To manage her more revealing content, Coco Austin now shares most of her sexier photos on her subscription OnlyFans account, which costs $19.99 per month.

“It was getting a little too saucy on Instagram,” she explained, noting that the Fenix International-owned platform takes a 20% commission.

The television personality highlighted that she wants to maintain a balance, saying, “I want to be a wholesome mother that people see, I don’t want them to always see my a**. I’ll take that over [to OnlyFans], so if you want to see it, you can.”

According to her, by posting her more provocative content there, she ensured that fans could still access it while keeping her Instagram presence less revealing.

Austin is mindful of her daughter Chanel Nicole Marrow when it comes to her provocative modeling.

Chanel, a fourth grader who holds an orange belt in kung fu, has expressed discomfort with her mother appearing “sexy” all the time.

“She gets it, I want to make sure I don’t go overboard now she’s kind of weirded out. I’m very delicate with it,” the doting mom said.

Chanel even sets rules for Austin when picking her up from school, saying, “Tone it down,” and insisting her mother not come in heels or revealing clothes.

The actress makes sure to change outfits before school pick-ups to respect her daughter’s feelings.

She explained that while she continues modeling elsewhere, she is careful not to make Chanel uncomfortable and wants to present herself appropriately to her.

Coco Austin also shared details about her marriage to Ice-T and their household roles.

She described how the rapper focuses on work, saying, “Ice has a place. He is a man place. He goes, he does his job, he works hard, he works hard for his money.”

She explained that her role at home was to maintain order, saying she manages the house and keeps everything running smoothly so that when her husband returns from the streets, he can relax.

Austin does not employ nannies and takes care of their daughter, Chanel.

In addition to family life, she also spoke about independence, stating, “You wouldn’t see us having an old-fashioned relationship, but we know what each other’s place is. Nowadays I feel like women must be independent. ‘I don’t need a man, I don’t need a man.’ Okay, well if you use that, you’re never going to get a man.”
