Tracee Ellis Ross flaunted her toned figure in a tiny black bikini… days after she made a brazen confession about her relationship with former President Barack Obama.
The actress, 52, shared a slew of sultry bikini pictures that showed her posing near a pool in a ruffled two-piece to Instagram on Friday.
The Black-ish star left very little to imagination as she raised her hand in the air and stuck out her tongue in one shot, while another featured her pressed up against a wall.
A third showed her leaning towards the camera with her ample cleavage on full display.
The 52-year-old completed her look with some massive, dark sunglasses; she wore minimal makeup and kept her hair in braids.
The post came just days after she publicly called out her longtime pal Barack for ‘failing her as a friend.’
Tracee has been close with Barack, 64, and his wife Michelle Obama, 61, for years, but during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she confessed that the politician let her down once when she came to him following a breakup.
She revealed on the show on Thursday that after she told Barack about her relationship ending, he said he had a feeling it wasn’t going to work out.

But she was disappointed that he didn’t warn her about his premonitions beforehand.
‘Well, I broke up with someone, and I remember running into the former president. And he was like, «I could have told you that,»‘ she recalled.
‘And I was like, «Well, you failed as a friend. Like, it was your job to say that before.»‘
Even so, she told the host that she still goes to Barack for ‘dating advice.’
Tracee did not specify who the breakup was with, but her last public relationship was with music manager Abou «Bu» Thiam, which ended in 2013.
She previously opened up about her love life during an appearance on Michelle’s podcast in April, and she confessed at the time that she preferred to date younger men.
‘A lot of men my age are steeped in a toxic masculinity and have been raised in a culture where there is a particular way that a relationship looks,’ she said.
‘Anything that starts to smell of that for me – I did enough of it where I was controlled and felt like I was a possession or a prize – I just have no interest in it. And I will not do it again.

‘I have long been past the age where I feel like it’s my job to teach somebody or grow them up. That, I’m not interested in.’
At the time, Tracee said she had ‘learned how to live life and enjoy it and not sit around waiting’ for a man.
However, she admitted that she was ‘grieving’ over the realization that she likely won’t get married or have kids.
‘I grieve the things that I thought would be and that are not. I’m not married. I don’t have children, and I think I grieve that at times,’ she said.
But she vowed that she was not going to settle, adding, ‘As much grief does surface for me around not having children and not having a partner, I still wouldn’t want the wrong partner.
‘I’m not interested in that. You have to make my life better. It can’t just be, «I’m in a relationship to be in a relationship.»
‘So even though the grief does emerge and that comes and I hold that, I think of what I’ve done.
‘I wake up every morning trying to do my best. I didn’t wake up one morning and be like, «I’m going to mess this day up.» So I must be where I’m supposed to be.’
