[@Gorgeouss_Court]

“I hope you’re binging insecure” sis, how we supposed to binge one 30 minute episode A WEEK?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 let me stop lol I love this woman so much lmao

[@icechipz]

She funny😂 she’s like someone you’d be in public with and she says something and you start laughing having people looking at you like you mental. On a side note tho, both those earrings are ugly.

[@TheNyashaB]

This side note 😭😭😭😭

[@1GreatAgent]

Issa's talking like she's not rich!

[@yasmin8851]

In her heart she's not rich.😉

[@PunofHarts]

She's really not. She got money but still buying wholesale at Costco. Living broke like she one of us.

[@smilechynwa]

@@PunofHarts but costco is actually kind of expensive lol.

[@supadupafly16]

1GreatAgent lol she’s newly rich. Probably still poor in her heart lmao

[@daej5702]

1GreatAgent shes doing very well but in her mind her 5 mil net worth probably isn’t much compared to actors and producers she knows

[@jasminebrooks8178]

“They look like eyelashes on a k-9” I’m really done 😂😂😂

[@J_131]

They have split ends. I can do that myself

Make this happen!

[@Burn143]

I’d love to see it🤣

[@embracethebright1587]

No. Paris is dated. And her vocabulary is limited. It be painful to watch.

[@ArmaniDiamonds]

I hate those super small sunglasses as well! One of the worst trends ever!

[@hooklynee5851]

And somehow Beyonce likes them...like no sis

[@Msd4-13]

Any time you have to wear your sunglasses at the end of your nose is a bad/corny idea.

[@ayoJL105]

“I could hear Erikah Badu's head wrap swishing around” 😂😂😂

[@crystaldevonlark9803]

I’ve been purposely avoiding insecure everything so I can binge watch it all at once it’s killing me I might break and just go watch but Im trying so hard to hold out it’s so Much better to watch at once!

[@AlheriDB]

CrystalDevon Lark wait it out. I believe in u.

[@ThinkingOutLoud597]

That was my plan. But then I went astray. Stay strong.

[@Belle_TifafaTV]

That was my plan sis but I fail! Stay strong lol

[@NayAwayy]

Girl watch it! I think the show hits harder when you watch each episode then have some time to dwell on it and appreciate how real it is.

[@ashleytune1598]

Also highly recommend Insecuritea, Crissle's and Heyfranhey's podcast about it! They have an episode for every episode of Insecure.

[@indiabatson26]

Love her 😻😂😂😂😂😂 & this jacket 🔥

[@ChefNourhan]

She is a class act love her and her eyeshadow is 🔥 bomb
