Did Brittany Renner cross a line wearing a hijab? 32-year-old Brittany Renner is a social media personality, fitness model, and author famous for sexualized and suggestive photos on the internet.
Brittany Renner first gained attention in 2021 after her breakup with PJ Washington went viral. The Instagram model has since been accused of grooming the Charlotte Hornets player, but she has denied the allegations.
The social media influencer and Charlotte Hornets player met in 2020 at an event in Dallas, Texas. Not long after revealing their love affair, the couple announced they were pregnant and welcomed a son, P.J. Washington Jr., in 2021. However, two and a half months later, things turned sour, and Renner called it quits, writing a vague tweet about someone ‘faking it all along.’
Subsequently, she defended her decision to date an 18-year-old college student at the age of 26 when people criticized her involvement with P.J. Washington.
The couple has a child whom they co-parent.
P.J. Washington earned over $17 million in his professional career, and last summer, he signed a three-year, $48 million extension with the Hornets.
Brittany Renner surprised everyone when she revealed her covered-up look in an Instagram post on Saturday, August 3.
In the video, she wore a black hijab covering most of her upper body while sitting in a car and delivering a message about “trust(ing) your wings.”
Renner later discussed her wardrobe update in another Instagram video, writing, “I am going to enjoy every moment of this walk of mine.”
Renner said she’s unsure how her new look will fit her contractual obligations, as she’s paid to model ‘sexy’ clothing. The social media influencer also stated that she is considering Botox under her arms to prevent sweating because she has struggled to maintain a modest appearance in hot weather.
Manifesting a new wardrobe… Inshallah,’ she said, using the Arabic phrase for “God willing,” which offended many commentators.
“STOP DISRESPECTING MY RELIGION!!!!!!!! Islam isn’t a marketing strategy, a way to get in the blogs, or a way to gain attention!!! It’s a way of life, and I would appreciate it if you wouldn’t disrespect the hijab. If you were serious you would delete or archive your photos uncovered! Please, this is not funny, and my religion isn’t a costume or some spiritual trend. It’s very serious. If you were sincere, you wouldn’t do it like this! Please stop using Islam as a way to gain attention or likes. It’s not funny, and we Muslims take our religion very seriously!!!!!!!!!!!” a concerned user wrote.
