Actress ridiculed after CRYING that she has to shop at H&M due to financial struggles
MTV star B. Simone has been brutally mocked after tearfully claiming that she can no longer afford to shop at Bloomingdale's due to her dwindling finances.
The actress and comedian, 35, broke down in tears over her money problems on an episode of her popular podcast, Let's Try This Again.
'My finances, the budgeting... you see how I am, nitpicking every little thing. I've never been like that!' she sobbed to friend Shekinah Yon.
'We were in Bloomingdale's yesterday, I was like, 'We have to go to H&M!'' she continued.
'I just don't have it to spend. The liquid. I'm used to having liquid.'
The former Wild 'N Out star admitted that she'd invested most of her money into her own app.
The app, which costs $9.99 a month, gives fans access to exclusive video podcasts, inspirational quotes, and the ability to connect with other subscribers.
'Because I've invested in this app and this platform I don't have the liquid,' she stated.
'I've got the money, but not yet. It's coming. I have it in assets. I have it in jewelry. But I'm used to seeing a certain amount in my account,' she added.
Social media users slammed Simone over her comments, with many bringing up statements she'd made in the past about refusing to date a man with a 9-to-5 job.
In 2020, the star told Nick Cannon that she only wanted to date entrepreneurs or a man with 'CEO status.'
'He can't be like clocking in and clocking out. No. I think entrepreneurs should date entrepreneurs… you're not going to understand my lifestyle,' she said at the time.
'You're not going to understand why I'm up at 3 a.m. He has to be an entrepreneur or moving into that direction.'
Fans brought the comments back up following her H&M confession, with one writing on X (formerly Twitter), 'B. Simone once said that she will never date a guy who works a 9 to 5 job but now she can't even afford to spend money on clothes.'
Another commented, 'Looks like she needs a 9-5 job to help her balance her lifestyle and finances.'
A third wrote, 'This the same woman that was up and said "I'll never date a guy with a 9-5." Life has a funny way of humbling people I don't feel bad for her at all.'
Another user joked, 'This is a damn tragedy. Ok folks it's time we set up a GoFundMe. H&M? No way, sweetie.'
One fan asked, 'She used to be a millionaire. What happened?'
A sixth commented, 'B. Simone said she couldn't date a 9-to-5 dude… now she broke, and 9-to-5 dudes have health insurance, 401(k)s, and credit scores over 700. God got jokes.'
B. Simone shot to fame after joining MTV's long-running sketch comedy show Wild 'N Out in 2017.
She spent nine seasons on the show and became one of its most popular cast members.
Outside of the series, Simone managed to launch an acting career and starred in a number of star-studded reality shows, including VH1's Girls Cruise with Lil Kim and Mya, and Hip Hop Squares.
Thanks to Wild 'N Out, Simone's comedy career also took off and led to her opening up for Martin Lawrence on tour.
More recently, she's become known for her popular podcast Let's Try This Again, and is now focused on launching a community app.

Scarlett Johansson: ‘I was cast for my desirability — that's shifted'
L ast year Scarlett Johansson took on AI, and won. It was May 2024 and, at a shiny Silicon Valley event, OpenAI launched a ChatGPT assistant that sounded remarkably like Johansson; that husky, late-night voice is one of the most recognisable in cinema. 'I'm doing fantastic, thanks!' Johanss… — sorry, 'Sky' — said. Announcing his invention, the OpenAI chief executive officer Sam Altman posted one word on X: 'her'. It wasn't subtle. Her is Spike Jonze's prescient 2013 film in which Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with his phone's AI, voiced by Johansson. In a statement, the actress said she was 'shocked and in disbelief' — particularly since Altman had asked Johansson to be a voice of ChatGPT and she had said no. Soon after, 'Sky' was taken down.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spark Swiftie fury after posing with 'MAGA' stars: 'Where is her self-respect?'
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have sparked a meltdown among her fanbase after they were seeing hanging out with the 'MAGA' co-hosts of 'Bussin' With The Boys'. The popular show is presented by former NFL players Will Compton and Taylor Lewan and earlier this week they posted a picture alongside the power couple. 'Confirmed: Taylor Swift is FOR THE BOYS,' they captioned the picture on social media. But the viral image has caused fury among Swifties, one of whom asked: 'Where the f*** is her self-respect?' Donald Trump appeared on 'Bussin With The Boys' ahead of last year's election and the ex-NFL stars were even given a shoutout during his victory celebrations. Dana White namechecked the podcast for helping propel Trump to victory over Kamala Harris. Back in 2023, Compton and Lewan were also seen shaking hands with the president at a UFC event. Now, Swift's decision to be pictured with the co-hosts has prompted a furious reaction on social media. 'You are who you surround yourself with,' one Swiftie wrote, while another accused the singer of having 'zero self-respect.' 'When ICE is abducting people from the streets , this is who she chooses to align herself with,' they said. 'Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are,' added another. Swift publicly endorsed Harris ahead of last year's election, while Trump has made clear his dislike for the singer. 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!' he wrote on social media last year before attacking her again in recent weeks. 'Has anyone noticed that, since I said "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT," she's no longer "HOT?"' the president wrote. Those comments have not been forgotten by her fans in the light of her picture with 'Bussin With The Boys'. 'The fact that she still associates with people who are MAGA when Trump himself has personally attacked her…. where the f*** is her self-respect,' one asked. 'Imagine being rich enough to make the world a slightly better place... then actively choosing to surround yourself with these thugs instead,' another added. 'What a waste.' Swift and Kelce have been together in Nashville over recent days, with the Chiefs star been hosting his annual 'Tight End University'. The singer even performed during the event, sending fans wild with a rendition of 'Shake It Off'. San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle, who hosts the event with Kelce, lifted the lid on her surprise cameo. 'Taylor could not have been kinder, more nice, and she was like, "I think it might be fun to go sing 'Shake It Off'". And we were like, "It'd be amazing. Twist my arm, Taylor, please,"' he said. Speaking to Fox News Digital , Kittle added: 'She was fantastic. For the venue that, I think, it was maybe 1,000 people, that was the loudest 1,000 people I've ever heard in my entire life. It was an incredible experience.'
