Ice Loves Coco, But Coco Loves This Other Random Dude

12/11/2012 10:00 am by

Let’s get something out of the way here first-off-like: I have watched Ice Loves Coco and enjoyed it. Ice-T (Tracy Marrow) and his buxom bride, Coco (Nicole Austin) have a relationship that I don’t even pretend to understand, but they are cute to watch. Well, maybe not cute, but it was somewhat compelling, okay? I mean, I wouldn’t present the show to my kids as a video manual to marriage (that’s what Lifetime movies are for), but there are crappier relationships to behold. There was something endearing about each of them that is hard to see in her g-string Twitter shots or his horrible excuse for acting in those endless Law & Order reruns.

That said: their relationship is still one that plays on some fairly standard sexist stereotypes. (Not that I judge…but just to set up this riveting conversation. About Ice-T. And a chick named Coco. Ahem.) She is an object of sexual attraction. A receptacle for Ice-T’s sugar stick, if you will. She’s a model, yes, but we all know that she’s really just known for having biologically implausible dimensions. Unfortunately, the show did little to expound upon her personality other than her tendency to let the couple’s big-balled dog to lick her in the mouth.

Ice-T, on the other hand, is the pimp figure. He accompanies his woman places. She looks cute. He looks emotionless and powerful. And wrinkly, but that’s probably beyond his control.

Again, no judgement: just an observation.

SO. Now we add this public…mildly awkward…fight…between the two over some Instagram pictures of Coco and a dude named AP.9.

He has a porn ‘stache. Poor girl prolly never saw it coming.

Aw, see? He was just tired. NIGHT-NIGHT PORN ‘STACHE SNUGGLE BUNNY.

I assume Ice had no problem with this shot, even though the guy is wearing a frat-boy shirt and reflective teeth.

They were taken at Coco’s PEEP SHOW in Las Vegas, I should add. After the dude posted them to his Instagram, they leaked, Ice-T found out, and…apparently…he got mad? There were a flurry of tweets on his end:

“Don’t get it twisted, I’m not happy about this s–t. Most of [the pics are] disrespectful and in bad taste. She’s made me look and feel like s–t. I say this on Twitter because there’s no way to avoid the obvious misconduct of a married couple.”

To which she responded:

“Ice is right the pics I took with this man were in poor taste & I disrespected my husband however the pics were the only thing that happened. I feel so sad,the bottom line is I love Ice & I can understand why he’s upset theres no excuse for my actions. I’m so sorry baby & to everyone” [Sic times INFINITY]

But, like, wait, because…WHAT? I can no longer follow this train wreck logic. It feels to me, that, if Ice had KNOWN about this dude prior, that somehow this would’ve been okay or something. Like…she needed permission.

Because, let’s get this straight. It’s okay for your wife to:

1. Pose naked for magazines.
2. Tweet near-nude images to Twitter on the regular.
3. Interact with lusting fans and followers.
4. Perform a burlesque, topless act for thousands.

…but, it’s NOT okay for your wife to:

1. Pose in a sexual manner with an acquaintance.

I mean, to be fair, it does seem like the media and such is making a slightly bigger deal of this than they are themselves, but still. I DON’T GET IT, MAN.

Can someone else explain? My head hurts.

    I think this comment is the definition of the decline of America, but stick with me here: I think their relationship is more complex than her just being a sex goddess. Yes, their relationship is fairly traditional and not necessarily what I would want (she actually MAKES HIM SANDWICHES on the reg), but…they seem in love. And he thinks she hangs the moon: respects her, supports her, thinks she can do whatever the hell she sets her mind to. I don’t think it is just that she has this crazy cartoon body.

    I….kinda follow this crazy logic. She is a professional exhibitionist and it seems to work for them. He knows people are oogling her and having fantasies about her and hey! It makes them a ton of money. But rubbing against some dude? Not cool, yo, not cool.

    I am seriously pulling for these crazy kids. Clearly.

      Okay, excellent points, and I hear that. I just find it hard to be okay with an arrangement that has so much…cloudy areas. I just don’t see how what’s in the pictures is THAT much different from the other stuff, I guess. But that might mean I’m just kind of ignorant, I’m seeing from these comments.

      The more you know! STAR!

    • http://twitter.com/hpstrawberries Hannah

      Yup, that’s exactly how I read it, too. I mean, there has to be trust in a relationship where one party makes a living from their body in the way that Coco does, and by posing in this way that trust line was crossed.

    I don’t think Ice needs to worry. The guy can’t even afford proper fitting baseball hats! Ice wins.

    I don’t understand the confusion…of course it isn’t ok to ‘Pose in a sexual manner with an acquaintance’ – it’s disrespectful.

    Posing naked for magazines/Tweet near-nude images to Twitter on the regular/Interacting with lusting fans and followers are all part of the Coco brand – it’s how she gets a following and why she has a show. Performing a burlesque, topless act for thousands is a job.

    It seems that you don’t think that he should expect her to be faithful because she does those things. I don’t see them as one in the same but then again maybe i’m more of a Coco than a Kristine.

    You say “no judgement” but I’m reading plenty of judgement in this article.

    • http://www.waitinthevan.com Kristine

      Ouch, girl. You must be a Super Fan!

      My only issue: “It seems that you don’t think that he should expect her to be faithful because she does those things.”

      Not at all, and sorries if that’s how I was coming across. I just see those photos as an extension of the brand. I mean, honestly, where would you draw the line with this kind of “branding”? Physical touch? Emotional investment? I think it’s a gray area and that’s why I don’t see the big deal with the pictures. That’s all, yo.

      • http://twitter.com/deedee_desire Dee Dee

        No, not a “super” fan…I’ve watched the show a few times, they are entertaining and seem to be in love…(like other people have commented)

        So super fan, no…my world will go on if the show is cancelled or even if they break up, I might not even know about it until it’s posted on any of many gossip sites – my issue was with what seemed like the judgmental tone of the article,

        He wasn’t part of her burlesque show, i believe she always poses solo in pictures (unless it’s with Ice or her dog), those things are her brand so i get why any husband would be angry. I don’t see a gray line at all. But that’s just me :) I get that you see a gray line and I’m sure many people do.

        • http://www.waitinthevan.com Kristine

          Word. I think you make great points :)

    I’ve always had a soft spot for Ice T, and like him on L&O: Sports Utility Vehicle. I even (secretly) owned “Body Count” and gave a 1992 duck face to the mirror listening to it. (Shh, my parents still don’t know.) And Coco seems to be a sweet girl. BUT. Buuuuuuuuuuut. Whose butt? Coco’s butt. I DIGRESS. ICE T USED TO BE A PIMP. There is a DOCUMENTARY ABOUT IT. Before T gets all in Coco’s grill about making a couple of lame photos with someone at her peep show, he should re-watch “Pimps Up, Hoes Down” and see that he’s not exactly the epitome of purity.

      “1992 duck face” LOLLER. But for real. I don’t see the big deal with the photos.

    I find it difficult not to be at least somewhat judgemental but, at the same time, I can’t fault her for ANY of her behavior. She’s all about sex appeal. That being the case, posing with that fellow was as gratifying for her as it was for him. If sex is what you’re selling, the harder you sell it the better (no pun intended) but make hay while the sun shines; there’ll come a day when you run out of buyers. $.02

    I think there’s definitely a difference between posing/dancing/tweeting and someone all up in your grill and kissing on you. That’s why strip clubs have no touching rules.

    That’s the difference between a pop kiss and a full on tongue in your mouth.

    Her job is to bare her body, but she’s not a porn star where she’s allowing somebody to invade her personal space – and I’m betting that’s the difference to Ice as well, he signed onto a marriage with a model, not a porn star (I’m not degrading porn stars, just saying that there’s a difference and a husband would need to be prepared for different things to happen when marrying a porn star)

    • Lexa

      Actually, I think if you are married to a porn star you can still expect her not to cheat. “Acting” in a movie is not cheating on your husband, but having a guy in a hotel room is. So, I suppose, nutty as it may sound to us lay folk, same rules apply.

    Forgive me for not reading all the comments, but here’s where I think your logic is leading….is it not OK for a Victoria’s Secret model to be seen snuggling with a guy in an intimate way? Just because she poses for millions of pre-, post- and waaaay post-pubescent male fantasies? It’s not my bag of beans, but doing something impersonal for loads of people isn’t the same as doing that (sort of) same thing with one person. That’s called intimate, and it should be saved for your One & Only.

  • SuzyQuzey

    I don’t understand why she’s supposed to have sex appeal.

    • http://www.waitinthevan.com Kristine

      Haha, yes, well there is that issue as well.
