More revealing photos of Deelishis (Photo credit: Twitter.com)BEZcmZ2CUAA1xN3

 

According to reports this past weekend, famed urban model and “Flavor of Love 2” winner Deelishis had a rough go of things when her estranged husband Orlando Gordon broke through her house in Detroit and assaulted her.

The report claims that comedian Michael Blackson was in Deelishis’ master bedroom, making the incident all the more bizarre. Blackson had performed at the nearby Music Hall Center for Performing Arts and was spending the night at Deelishis’ house before the break in.

While Deelishis has since tried to downplay the incident, there have been varying reports about what exactly took place.

One thing that is for sure is that Deelishis isn’t letting the drama spoil her fun, as she has been taking to social media sites to keep her fans updated on the latest news.

And as is always the case, Deelishis has had no problem whatsoever sharing personal and revealing photos of herself.

According to a report from MediaTakeOut.com on Thursday, March 7, one of the photos, which was apparently taken by Blackson, shows off Deelishis’ infamous backside, as she is wearing a two-piece bikini.

It’s good to see Deelishis moving on and putting the incident behind her.
