Coco Austin recently made a bold statement while on vacation in Mexico with her husband and daughter, claiming she was the original “micro thong” wearer.
The 45-year-old wife of actor Ice-T turned heads in her latest Instagram post, wearing a flame-print bikini that left little to the imagination. She posed confidently, with her back to the camera, showing off a G-string thong that highlighted her well-known curves.
“I’m the original micro thong wearer… lol. Been doing it since the 90s, nothing has changed. It’s the only way to tan! ☀️ More pics on my fan page,” she wrote in her caption.
In mentioning her “fan page,” Coco promoted her OnlyFans account, where she shares additional exclusive content for a subscription fee of $19.99 per month.
A day earlier, the former “Ice Loves Coco” star had posted more photos from the same beach setting. Lying on a chair, she showcased her figure from another angle. Ice-T, 67, took the photos, and the couple shared them with their 4.3 million followers.
“Us right now… While people go back and forth about our parenting… It’s so obvious we look like we give F… Have a nice day! #TheIceFamily,” they wrote. One of the images also featured their daughter, Chanel Nicole, 8. Ice-T and Coco have been married since 2002 and share one child, while Ice-T also has two older children, LeTesha, 47, and Tracy, 32, from previous relationships.
The comment section was filled with mixed reactions. Some fans praised Coco for her confidence, while others questioned whether her figure was natural. Coco has denied having any cosmetic procedures to enhance her curves.
One user commented, “Now that she said nothing has changed… it looks like a BBL.” Another added, “It’s an early way to start summer with you, @coco! You are unstoppable!”
In 2013, Coco addressed critics on “The Real Daytime,” allowing the hosts to feel her backside to prove it was real. Later, a plastic surgeon examined her and confirmed there were “no implants” or “injected fat.”
Coco has spoken about how she once felt insecure about her figure. In her OnlyFans bio, she describes herself as someone who helped change beauty standards by celebrating curvier bodies. “I’m the one and only Coco, the one who paved the way for curvy models. I’ve continued to model for over 25 years,” she wrote.
The five-foot-two model also shared her measurements: “39DDD, 26, 43.”
While Coco credits herself with popularizing the micro thong, the modern design was introduced in 1974 by Austrian fashion designer Rudolf “Rudi” Gernreich. However, thong-style garments have existed for centuries, originally used to support or protect male genitalia due to their streamlined fit.
Last weekend, Coco shared a rare family photo featuring Ice-T and all three of his children.
