In her memoir, did Beverly Johnson say she was having an affair with Arthur Ashe while he was married or that they dated prior to his marriage? I recall her saying they had dated and that’s a huge difference from having an adulterous affair. (I didn’t read her memoir to know if their relationship continued throughout Arthur Ashe’s marriage but I do hope reports of an affair aren’t there in his marriage to Jeanne.) She’s a kind, lovely woman.

We all make mistakes but, we need to accentuate her positive instead of magnifying the negative. Beverly moved mountains that no other black model at that time could achieve. Naomi Campbell was always in the news. You have never done anything questionable?

She is so incredibly lovely. 😍 timeless beauty.

I am a black man of a certain age and I have respect for what Bill Cosby meant to my generation however , I don’t think she is lying about Cosby. Cosby’s ego was out of control because of the incredible success and influence he had in the 70s 80s and 90s. I do believe some of the women put themselves in a position to know what was going on with Cosby , or know what might happen with Cosby, but clearly Beverly Johnson was not one of those women. Just because a girl got high, as most people did back then, does not mean they wanted to have sex.

i wonder why her two marriages and the father of her daughter are not mentioned. it seems a lot to leave out.

Beverly Johnson is beautiful but Naomi Sims was the first black supermodel it is ashame that society don’t give her credit what credit due. Beverly Johnson and along with Naomi Sims made a at for all black models that came up after them…I never knew that there was so much hatred & jealousy with the models back in the days neither.

I grew up looking up to Beverly Johnson as the epitome of beauty…..I even wore my hair like her, pulled back in a low bun. She has aged beautifully and I get excited whenever I catch her on any one of the numerous talk shows or documentaries about Black models…..herre are your flowers Beverly💐💐🌺🌼

When Ms. Johnson spoke up during 'me, too', I was FLOORED! She is an icon and her words are powerful! She's a hard-core survivor and I respect her.

Recently, she was trying to change the whole modeling industry and make modeling agencies have to book a specific percentage of non-white models in order to get more representation in fashion. She said they’re not going to do it on their own. There should be a requirement. She’s still very active in that world.

Beverley has perfect features... it's no wonder she was at the top of the modeling world. ✨️💖✨️

I get so tired of hearing about the native American and European mixture in African Americans. Why can we not just be handsome or beautiful just because we're black just because of our African heritage in DNA. Why? Iman who was Beverly Johnson's competition she is from the motherland (Africa) and she is stunningly beautiful strikingly beautiful and she's an African so there you have it we're not beautiful or handsome because of our mixture of DNA that's it Beverly Johnson did not have to have mixed heritage or mixed DNA to be beautiful.

She admits to doing drugs while pregnant and provides nuance and reference . I feel like we are so ready to judge nowadays and rarely critically understand that no one is perfect ish happens

One of my beauty icons ( I'm a 70s baby💃🏽) and I remember that Revlon Ad, Vogue , and she's timeless. I remember she said that Cosby couldn't get her in a cab fast enough after she cursed him out upon knowing that he had put something in her coffee and I'm so happy she got away. ALL of the black models I saw and admired growing up made it a wonderful time to see your maternal figures, yourself, and other women in your community in them💐💐💐. They paved the way for sure! The Martin episode was one of my favs tho 😂😂.

I remember her all too well. From the Revlon Charlie days to present. You see, I am the 1970s, and she was on a couple of magazine covers. If my memory serves me correctly, McCalls or Simplicity. She might have been on the cover of Vogue magazine. I was around 15 or 16. Half out of jr high and then high school. Those times were great. She owned her style. Hooray for Beverly Johnson. She needs more recognition.
