Angela Simmons is once again making headlines, this time for her unique promotional methods and recent controversies. Known for her entrepreneurial spirit, Angela has built her own brand, leveraging her famous father’s influence to launch a sneaker company in her teenage years, and now, a vegan pancake line. Recently, she announced her first collaboration with Slutty Vegan, adding fried Oreos to their menu. The announcement came through a commercial featuring Angela in a bathtub full of Oreos, eating the fried treats and drinking milk. This unusual campaign sparked curiosity and confusion among fans, as it seemed contradictory to her vegan brand.

On Instagram, the 36-year-old founder of Angela’s Cakes shared the video and picture of herself in the Oreo-filled bath, intriguing fans just two weeks after attending the 2024 BET Awards with a bedazzled gun-shaped purse. The purse choice was particularly contentious given her personal history—she lost her son’s father to gun violence.

While some criticized Simmons for her fried Oreos campaign, she received strong support from actress and singer Keke Palmer, who commented, “The way these people are hating in your comments is something VICIOUS! I’m so blown back. Just know you doing EVERYTHING RIGHT. I have never seen people so pressed. Whew.”

Despite the controversies, Angela continues to push her brand forward, though not without facing public scrutiny.  The video has racked up 1.5 million views on her page alone, so she did something right! Growing up in the spotlight and navigating reality TV, Angela is under considerable pressure to establish her identity. Her journey highlights the challenges of maintaining a public persona while innovating and growing a business in the age of social media.
