Coco Austin Refuses To Quit Thongs And Has One Fiery Message For Haters

Nicole “Coco” Austin is making it clear she has no plans to slow down, no matter what critics say.

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.”

Elsewhere during the chat, Austin stood firm on her decision to breastfeed her daughter until she was six, despite online criticism.

The mom of one recalled that she fed Chanel because the little girl still needed nourishment, even though she could eat solid foods by age one.

Austin described the experience as a meaningful bonding time and explained that she allowed her daughter to decide when to stop, noting, “She’s not going to be 16 on my boob.”

Ultimately, Chanel chose to stop breastfeeding around age six, which Austin acknowledged as a long duration, but pointed out that in some European countries, children are breastfed even longer.

Reflecting on the controversy surrounding her choice, Austin emphasized the importance of letting the child guide the process.

It wasn’t the first time the model addressed the controversy.

In a 2021 interview, she shared that the experience was a big bonding moment for a mother and child, adding that she wouldn’t take it away from Chanel prematurely.
