Ohio born influencer Maddy Belle poses in a neon yellow bikini during a beach day in Miami Beach, Florida. Best known for her Tik Tok account @itsmaddybelle with over 4.8M followers, Maddy is also a youtuber, model and an aspiring singer. Maddy was spotted dancing and posing beachside at the 1 Hotel South Beach after flying in from a girl’s trip around the Caribbean.
After graduating from Solon High School in Ohio Maddy decided to make a career in show business and has even dipped in the acting world after appearing in the 2018 film Wally Got Wasted. It was her social media that took off however, with her Tik Tok and Instagram accounts gaining millions of fans and followers. On Instagram she regularly posts her travels, showing her 1M followers her recent trips to St Lucia, Tulum and Australia. She rarely spends time in her native Ohio, as evidenced by these paparazzi pictures that captured her in Miami Beach.
Maddy looked glowing in her strappy yellow bikini on the sultry sands of South Beach and wasn’t shy to show off her famous curves in thong bikini bottoms. With Filipino and German ancestry, she strutted in her golden tan on a solo beach day in Florida. She is believed to be dating Youtuber Jackson O’Doherty but he was nowhere to be seen on this day.
The model is no stranger to controversy, appearing in a viral video back in 2019 that resulted in a Miami Beach police officer being fired from his job. Teaming up with fellow model Francia ‘Francety’ James they pretended to get arrested in lingerie by the police station. The Miami Herald then reported ‘Videos featuring a Miami Beach cop staging a fake arrest with three nearly naked models in front of Miami Beach police headquarters went viral overnight in the social media world.’
The prank drew a lot of criticism from city leaders, including then Miami Beach City Manager Jimmy Morales who said “These videos are highly offensive,” Morales said. “It is disgusting that a representative of the Miami Beach Police Department, and the City as a whole, would choose to participate in this distasteful video.”
The controversy landed Francia and Maddy numerous media interviews including on ABC Miami television affiliate, where Maddy claimed the cameo by the police officer was not planned: “We were just doing our own skit, just the three of us, and he came out of the blue and was checking on us at first. And we asked him, ‘Hey, you want to be a part of our video?'”
Now that Maddy is back in Miami Beach, she has no plans on causing controversy and instead is focused on herself and taking a self care day alone at her luxury hotel before getting back to her hectic travel schedule and music career.
