Pastry co-founder Angela Simmons is the next celebrity to bare it all for PETA’s latest campaign. The 24 year-old daughter of Run DMC’s Rev. Run, posed classily for the non-profit’s latest vegetarianism spread with the message of “Eating Meat Is a Sin: Go Vegetarian”. In an interview with the organization, Angela shared how her uncle Russell Simmons inspired her adoption of a vegetarian diet:
I went on PETA.org one day and at the time i wasn’t a vegetarian yet, and I was making the whole transition. I’m a vegetarian now. I really want people to know what happens to animals. They have feelings. I think it’s important that we take action. [...] I want to open people’s eyes up and I want people to check it out. I want to help raise money. I want do things. I want to help.
My uncle, Russell Simmons has been a vegen for a really long time. When I was younger, he was vegan and I kind of paid attention here and there. He let me watch a video that kind of threw me off and was like, ‘I don’t want to eat any meat.’ At first I was really afraid of doing it because I’m like ‘protein, I’m not going to feel good. I’m going to feel weak.’ There’s protein in a lot things and I’m happy with it. I feel lighter. It’s a good feeling.
According to the animal rights organization, adopting a vegetarian diet is the best thing that you can do for your health. Meat consumption has been linked to our nation’s biggest ailments, including heart disease, obesity, diabetes, strokes, and cancer. The American Dietetic Association states that vegetarian or vegan diets “are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.”

I didn’t know she was a vegen…….
She’s not vegan..she’s vegetarian (there’s a difference)
Beautiful girl.
I use to be a vegetarian but I never tried to force feed my beliefs or my way of life on others. Being a vegetarian was my choice. Since when was eating meat a sin? What bible is she reading.
Last time I checked, virgins don’t pose nude or semi nude.
RIGHT RIGHT!
Lmao! And you know this how? Did you take a poll of all the virgins and come to that conclusion? Angela can do, pose, any way she sees fit. my only gripe is that the slogan says eating meat is a sin, really?! Lol at the weave looking nice and healthy….the indian chick nust have conditioned regularly
virgins don’t have SEX, it doesn’t me we can’t post semi-nude. What does a picture have to do with fornication ?
@ANU
You’re absolutely right but you also have to understand that in this modern time, people are “virgins” in title only, and it is common for their true banner to be hypocrisy lol. It’s common sense to everyone but a fool that if you are a “virgin”, you do not show your body to the world. That is why, when we READ THE SCRIPTURES, being “naked” is a metaphor for sin (Exodus 32:23-25, Rev 16:15). A woman is only supposed to show off her body to her husband…..but that is why the scriptures tell us that our wives would embrace wh*redom in the last days as freedom (Amos 7:17). The modern day woman is so obtuse that she doesn’t understand when she is being a hypocrite. At least you have some common sense…or appear to lol.
Its very fitting how Angie guards her vajayjay like a chaste virgin should
virgin dont pose nude because they re are saving their body. your body is suppose to belong to who ever you marry and to pose nude is allowing everybody in
Eating meat is NOT a sin. Posing nude however….
LOL exactly. I’m sure she was more interested in the posing nude part then she was for speaking on animal rights.
as a person who has a relationship with God and eats meat, I am bothered that she chose such a strong statement. Eating meat is NOT a sin. Furthermore, you would think she would have consulted her father before taking on such a strong statement. And if we wanna talk about living, breathing creatures, then we ought to talk about plants. Do they not have feelings? Should we consult the cows before we drink their milk? (i drink almond) What about bees and their honey?
I hate PETA, I really do!
I’m a vegetarian & I love animals very much-I only went vegetarian for the animals rights,not for health reasons, but I think it’s going far with the *eating meat is a Sin*..I mean really? – I love animals and I love vegetarianism, but don’t force your beliefs on others. This is why Peta really irritates me.
I’m glad vegetarians like you are speaking out. I am also a vegetarian and think it is wrong to impose my personal decision on others. People become vegetarians for many diverse reasons.
I also, would NOT agree that eating meat is a sin. What I disagree with is the WAY people get their meat. I actually respect a hunter for going out, killing what he needs to eat while having a sincere RESPECT for the life that helps him/her live and the crucial role that death plays in survival. I would prefer this over the process of farming animals outside of any natural habitat in warehouses and cages. I believe there are many vegetarians who agree with the concept of all of God’s creatures having a natural dignity. For me, eating meat is not a sin; it is disrespecting God’s creatures that is the sin. Most people do not include the rest of God’s creations into their concept of being a good person.
This photo shoot was probably just playing off of the religious theme of Adam and Eve, but I hope that people can understand there are many perspectives on being a vegetarian.
I guess the entire circle of life is a sin then huh?? The way animals eat EACH OTHER in the wild wouldn’t be the same way humans (also animals) eat animals too? I completely agree that abusing animals to harvest them for meat is wrong, but simply eating them…gtfoh.
Eating meat is a sin, depending on which “God” you’re talking about. The Bible tells us what meats man can and cannot eat in Leviticus 11th chapter, but these people in entertainment worship a different entity altogether. The term “PETA” is an allusion to the Egyptian god of fertility and vegetation “PTAH” or “PE-TAH”. He became known in Greece as the woodland goat-legged stag god of animals, intercourse, and p*dophilia, “PAN”. That is where you get the character of “Peter Pan” from, and it is why Peter Pan was dressed in all green (for vegetation) and led the “lost boys”. This organization, “PETA”, is obviously forcing the rituals of the god “PTAH” on the mainstream populace in the guise of “loving animals”. It’s also becoming clearer to me based on the consistent level of degeneracy of his children, that “Rev Run” raised his children up under monarch programming. I wonder how the youngest boy will turn out? The two daughters are wh*res, one son thinks he’s a thug, and the other is a soon to be h*mosexual teenage rapper, if he isn’t already. Part of the programming of an MK sex kitten is that they promote that they’re a “virgin”. Britney Spears did the same thing for years, and this female Angela Simmons is clearly a wh*re looking for fame and exposure. The photographer even puts the apple in her hand to allude to the fall of Eve, but allegedly she’s a “pastor’s daughter” lol.
No wonder Michael Jackson was obsessed with Peter Pan & thought he was that character. He clearly had that programming done. Diggy is def a ho/mo like his father & uncle. If you ask me, all the children look like they have down syn/drome and deg/enerates, probably resulting from inc/estuous relations. This broad looks like a pig & I thought that was her on the Peta website that they highlighted. Their parents look like brother & sister. “Rev” Run has to be mentally challenged with his involuntary ticks and random yells he does every 2 secs. I find it hilarious that he really considers himself a true Reverend. Also, Beyonce pretended to be a vir/gin too and alluded to that in an interview saying Jay Z was her 1st. LOL!!!
@IDOMIND
Yes, Michael Jackson was under the PTAH/Peter Pan programming. He did m*lest those children, but it was embedded into one of his personalities, and he was himself m*lested as a child. He was passed around the record industry in fact by his father. All his sons were. You can read a book by a “former” MK-ULTRA sex slave named Bryce Taylor called “Thanks for the Memories” in which she states that she was a monarch sex slave for Bob Hope. She also asserts that he sponsored the Jackson Five behind the scenes and that she witnessed all five of them get rap*d before a show while Bob Hope watched.
Yes I am aware of the book ‘Thanks for the Memories’ and it was a confirmation on my initial beliefs of Joe Jackson being a pedophile and pimp. This includes the girls also being abused sexually by Joe. I also read that Bob Hope controlled/handled ie mentored/brought up Tiger Woods. In any case, I also believe MJ abused those boys, his “children”, and many more uncounted victims. I stated here before the similarities between MJ Peter Pan personality with RKelly’s Pied Piper personality which both lured children into their beds/in between their legs. But back to the Simmons family, I want to know the purpose of them adopting another child.
Judah go to the corner and have a sit somewhere.
@EMMAV
Why don’t you go into the corner of the kitchen and stay there until my food is prepared.
@Judah: That is not correct. According to the Old Testament in Leviticus chapter 11 eating “certain” meats WERE considered a sin. However in the New Testament (Mark 7:14) Jesus says: “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside you can defile you by going into you. Rather, it is what comes out of you that defile you” when questioned about this by his disciples he then says: “are you dull?” “Don’t you see that nothing that enters you from the outside can defile you? For it doesn’t go into your heart but into your stomach, and then out of your body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.) – As quoted from my bible New International version.
Secondly, I find it distressing seeing how you will point out someone else’s “sins” while YOU proceeded to call the Simmons daughter “whores” and their sons “thugs” and “homosexuals” – that’s called JUDGMENT. But since you want to quote the bible I will help you out. Matthew 7: do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge other, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” also, Matthew 7: 1-5 will be a good short read for you to sit and ponder on.
@EARIN
But we are aware that pork is bad, correct? Eating pork should remain a sin. Even an imperfect doctor will tell you that. The bible states some of these things for our protection really. Pork causes a lot of diseases.
@Earin
You present nothing for me to ponder on other than why you are trying to teach and why you haven’t prepared my food lol. The hubris, ignorance, and buffoonery of some of you black females is always good for a laugh (Prov 9:13). You find what I say “distressing” because you are demonically possessed and you attend one of those witches’ covens known as a “Christian church”. How can Christ have done away with the dietary law when he himself said that no aspect of the law would ever be diminished until the heavens and earth pass away (Matt 5:17-19)? Let me ask you something miss, since you’re so “spiritual” lol, why do you think that Christ cast the demons into SWINE (Matt 8:28-32)? The scriptures tell us in Isaiah 66:15-17 that the people who eat “swines’ flesh” will be DESTROYED on the day of judgment. Paul comes back and tells us that every creature of God is good, if it be SANCTIFIED (meaning declared clean) by the WORD OF GOD and prayer. You cannot pray over a pig or a rat and cleanse it miss. Those animals were created for the purpose of eating garbage. This is why Leviticus 11th chapter tells us about CLEAN (sanctified) meats and UNCLEAN meats. You black people listen to these lies in these churches, and you’re eating shellfish and pork…….and even rat, cat, and dog in these Chinese restaurants and you wonder why you have the worst health of any race on earth. (There is no difference between the so-called “OT” and so-called “NT” other than the LAW being put into the hearts (meaning minds) of the CHOSEN (Jer 31:31-35, Ezek 37:26-28, Heb 8:6-13). Christ was speaking unto the apostles in PARABLE form in Mark 7th chapter. In the scriptures, “meats” is a term used to describe the deeper knowledge of the Lord’s Word (I Cor 3:1,2, Heb 5:12-14, etc.). Your “belly” is your mind (Prov 20:27). When you read the complete passage, Christ is referring to the man-made traditions of the Pharisees anyway smh. Furthermore miss, I don’t have the time to spoon feed you. You black women like to talk big, but you know nothing. A “judgment” is rendered by a judge based on an infraction of the law, and he has the power to ENFORCE his judgment. Christ stated in Matt 7:1-5 that you cannot castigate someone for an infraction that you yourself are committing. That is the false judging that he is speaking of. If no one could judge anything, there would be anarchy you idiot. The scriptures tell us that a spiritual man JUDGETH ALL THINGS (I Cor 2:15). The Greek word for the word “judgeth” in that verse is “anakrino”, meaning “determine, estimate, to judge of (the excellence or DEFECTS of any person or thing). The Lord sanctified the men of Israel to be JUDGES, which is why He refers to them as “gods” (Psalm 82:1-6, John 10:34-36, etc.). You have no idea what you’re talking about. Go ponder on that…..
@IDOMIND
Yes, the R. Kelly “Pied Piper” persona is also an allusion to the woodland god “Pan”, who played the “panpipes” to lure in children in “mythology”. To go deeper, Pan, the “goat god of lust” is an allusion to the Baphomet. This is why Mary J. Blige’s foundation is called “FAWN”, which is speaking about “Faunus”, another name for the goat god Baphomet. Yes, Tiger Woods is an MK-ULTRA athlete as well, and that is a whole other, and deeper topic than the music industry aspect. That is why when his father died, if you remember, they produced a commercial where his father’s voice was speaking to Woods as he stared forward blankly. His father was also his MK handler, under the sponsorship of Bob Hope, just as Joe was the handler for his children. As you probably know, watch for celebrities whose fathers were in the military. They are probably MK slaves. In regards to the Simmons family, the infant that dies during childbirth was probably a sacrifice. The adopted child may become more famous than all the other children combined. This is what happened with the Jacksons. Marlon was a twin, but the other son “died” (was sacrificed) at childbirth to herald the birth of Michael, the SEVENTH child…..the “MOONCHILD”. A moonchild is a child that is born under the process of sex magic to have “special powers”. It is an aspect of Aleister Crowley’s belief system. Notice that Brandy spoke about it on her “Full Moon” album.
Shellfish is bad??? But why is that? I understand pork but shellfish?
@CHEERS
Lmao….speaking of black women who talk big and don’t know a damn thing…..
A black woman that talks big but doesn’t know a thing? I don’t know who you’re referring to. I know a little something, but not about shellfish. I’ll just google it
@CHEERS
If you are someone who has read the Bible and been raised up in a certain faith which you believe is the truth, that faith should have informed you of WHY the Lord makes the prohibitions that he makes. Obviously they do not. The Bible itself tells you that shellfish are not to be consumed (Lev 11:9-12). They are the scavengers of the sea; basically the oceans version of pigs and rats. Shellfish are also known to cause nerve damage, eczema, lupus and other disorders due to the fact that the body’s antibodies have a counter-reaction to them.
Of course I’ve seen it (duh) but I thought nothing about it. I thought we weren’t in obligation to those laws now. So all seafood is bad, eh? Even shrimp? I just died.
@CHEERS
Well if you “thought nothing about it” that’s even worse than never having seen it, after however long you’ve been in that false doctrine you embrace….and on top of that your “elders” never showed you that.
So if my “leaders” didn’t teach it to me would it be my fault? lol The consequences would be on them and not myself and those who are supposedly supposed to be taught. I thought you said women aren’t naturally inclined to understand the scriptures, meaning someone is to teach it to us. That being the case, it was never taught to me lol. So until it is “taught” to me, I will continue to make my infamous shrimp scampi. (sidenote: why was I “blocked” by the way?”)
@CHEERS
It was just taught to you so if you continue to eat crustaceans it is on you. That means NO MORE SHRIMP, CRAB, LOBSTER, SCALLOPS, etc….lol.
So if I can’t eat any of these things anymore what am I supposed to eat? Chicken? LOL I might as well just starve. But forreal, why am I getting failed notices?
@CHEERS
Yes, eat chicken…..and while you’re at it, make me some chicken too lol. In all seriousness, the list of what you can eat is in Leviticus 11th chapter. You must understand that the Lord does not arbitrarily state that certain foods are prohibited without giving a reason. The foods that are for consumption, are categorized that way because of what THEY EAT and how THEY EAT it. That is why the Lord specified that the animals that we eat “chew the cud” and be “cloven footed”.
LOL yea, sure, I’ll make you some. And I’ll add my “special” sauce. But forreal shrimp aren’t technically “dirty”. They are omnivores. I understand clams and oysters which are actual scavengers that eat remnants from the waters but shrimp? Come on. This is some hard information to chew (no pun intended).
“Special sauce”? That’s disgusting lol……and shrimps do not have fins or scales. Look, I’ve told you….my job is done.
But what does shrimp having scales or fins have to do with anything?
@CHEERS
I believe that I cited the passage in Leviticus 11:9-12 where the scripture tells you to abstain from sea creatures that do not have fins and scales, so why would you ask what do shrimps not having fins and scales have to do with anything? That’s why you got blocked, because you ask the same questions over and over again that were already answered lol.
Judah for you to even think Michael even molested them children is just wow. Like are you under white man programming? lol
Because right after Michael died. The father who had ”claimed” Mike molested his child admitted he fabricated the story for fame & money. He killed him self 2month after Michael.
Yes Michael was MK ultra victim. Clealy. He had no control over this. Considering he was young when it becam. He was just a victim of his salty ass father.

@UK
If you’re a fan of Michael Jackson, that’s your prerogative. I speak objectively based on knowledge and research. You just admitted that Michael Jackson was under MK-ULTRA programming but then you want to tell me what he is and isn’t capable of lol. How could you know what he is capable of when, as a person dealing with dissociative multiple personality disorder, HE is not even aware of what he was capable of??? The video “THRILLER” shed some insight into his dual nature. That is why at the end of the video, he turned and looked in to the camera to show that the real him was the monster….
This reminds me about that discussion we had about Peter and the dream he kept encountering. All that God has created is clean. And regarding certain Holy Days and “traditions”, what about Gal 4:9-11? and Eph 2:15 even in this case regarding certain foods?
I wonder if Peta is upset about the number of horses that had to die to sit on top of this girl’s head. Geesh!
Lol.
FUNNY!!! and great retort!
I meant seat
When did animals have feelings?
wow… you think animals just walk around mindless? You don’t think they have feelings for their owners, their families that raise them, the children that grow up with them? You don’t think they feel anything when they get hit by a car, or abused, or killed in a slaughter house? just… WOW!
@ EMMAVS- you must be a little off. Animals very much indeed have feelings. I have a dog and a cat who show emotions when they are happy, when they are sad, tired, or not feeling well. Animals feel happiness, sorrow, and pain..just like a human does. Your question is so ignorant.
@VEGETARIANBABE
Well if that’s the case, plants are also living creatures and also respond positively or negatively to things as diverse as light, water, soil, and even music. Clearly that means that plants have emotions as well, so people should stop eating plants. Someone should form an organization called P.E.T.P (People For The Ethical Treatment of Plants). They should make graphic videos of trees being cut down and they should start throwing buckets of sap on the executives at paper making companies.
I dont understand what posing nude has to do with eating animals. Anyway, I don’t agree with someone imposing their beliefs on others. Eating animals is not a sin; they would definitely eat humans if the opportunity presents itself.
JUDAH YOU CLEARLY GOT A PROBLEM AND YOU HAVE A DEMONIC SPIRIT AND MAY GOD HELP YOU!
You should take me to your church lmao….
They should tell Russell that people’s wallets have feelings with that scam he calls a rush card. lol
so true…
Tooo much Photoshop !!
Oh Angela you are beautiful but dumb at times…
1. I hope that’s not human hair or horse hair on your head…clearly.
2. Did you finish school cuz you sound so uneducated right now?
3. I know you be buying them expensive leather bags and shoes…poor cows…
4. Have several sits _/_/_/_/ and one more for the horse or human hair _/.
LOL @ #4
And while she’s seated, her animal friends should join her, there should be plenty of chairs for them.
I really don’t see how African American celebrities can pose for PETA. This is the same group that had a campaign saying animal “cruelty” is the same as the enslavement of blacks and that mutilation of animals is the same as the circumcision practices that happen to young girls in Africa. They say the black experience is equivalent to a pig and chicken’s experience. I’m ashamed of these “black” celebrities.
I agree!
But what about the animal on top of her head? Does he not count?? She shouldn’t discriminate.
#dead
lol.
LMAO, now that’s a good. She’ll probably claim its her real hair.
Angela I know rev run slapped you when he saw this, cuz 1 cause eating meat isn’t a sin and 2 ur nekkid
haha! I was thinking the same thing! How you “Rev Run’s” daughter and posing Naked??? I don’t think the pic is tasteful. I don’t like the “Naked Pics for Peta” campaign either.
When I think of Peta I just remember the times they would storm up the runways and hold up insulting signs against top models..
They are absolutely outrageous and contradictory and all over the place! It’s like one minute they launch an artistic campaign meant to uplift their image to some, then the next minute they are decrying a celebrity for holding up a burger..or something like that. Absolutely mindless and inconsistant as I said..
Ok ANGELA!!did you also got rid of those designer “leather bags”, “leather” Shoes & “leather” belts, etc??? You know a cow was hurt for his skin to make you look fabulous, if you’re going to preach, practice what you preach Allll the way, please don’t contradict yourself sweetie, it comes with a price, are you willing to pay? Until then keep your beliefs to yourself.
My thoughts EXACTLY!
Eating meat is a natural part of the human diet. Get over peta…clearly y’all dont read the Bible otherwise u would know the true definition of what a sin is…NEXT
I’m black, white and Indian. My grandad is christian but I followed sikhism. I don’t too much on his beliefs. But sikhism believe’s that eating meat is a sin. Basically you’re eating one of god creatures for your own personal ”desires”. A human being does not need meat to live. Research clearly shows They’re other things to eat. The people who say it is not a sin, just don’t wanna feel guilty eating a chicken ripped from it’s limbs. Animal eating animals is apart of their food life cycle, now humans that’s a whole different story.
I dont think u should pass judgement on ppl u dont know. I certainly am not saying it’s not a sin to feel good about eating animals. I have never in my life felt guilty. I come from a place where meat is part of our cultural. Im not Sikh, and no where in my religion does it say that eating meat is a sin. My religious teachings are def different from yours. Maybe you should take nude pics too in the name of peta. Im sure your Sikh community would be very proud
Excuse my language but I F–KING HATE PETA!!!! WTF is their problem? Their cause is so damn stupid!!!! You have millions of starving human beings, children being molested, terrorist attacks all over the world, millions of children not getting a good education and poverty, and yet, they put so much time in “saving the animals.” Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s sick to abuse animals, but their protests are stupid. Since when was eating meat a sin? I guess Jesus should have been punished for eating meat then. And also, I think we could do with faux fur, but why the hells are you acting like wearing real fur is the worst thing in the world?
TRUTHBTOLD, I can’t believe you said exactly what is on my mind. PLANTS, FRUITS, AND VEGETABLES are living, breathing things…. Why the hell aren’t they protesting against eating those things? They have faces and thoughts; it’s just that they don’t have defined features and make noises that we can hear! Point blank, it’s a way of life and natural. If you don’t want to eat meat that’s fine, but don’t try to push that on others. Also, Angela ‘s photo isn’t nasty but it’s pointless. She is so stupid, posing nude “for a cause.” These celebs who pose nude for PETA just do it to get a damn free photo shoot and show their a—es! Posing nude for this stupid cause is just disgraceful unnecessary.
That’s great and all, but I have a problem with people claiming “vegan” and “vegetarian” for ethical reasons, yet you look down at their shoes or handbag and it’s made of exotic skins. Guissepe, Manolo, and Loubitton ain’t makin them joints out of pleather. And further still- you find these same folks pushin whips kitted out with plush leather seats! Even makeup contains animal bi-products. Diet/Health reasons is one thing, but it’s a pretty bold move to claim vegan or vegetarian wthout transforming your entire lifestyle. Just sayin.
Let there be no food left on the planet and see how quickly people will eat their pets to survive…#justsayin
Judah do you have a blog, website? Anything? Just interested because I research a lot of of what you spoke of and I am interested in hearing more!
I was examining some of your articles on this site and I conceive this internet site is very instructive! Keep putting up. cpanel vps | unmetered vps |
