Was Meagan Good’s Dress Too Sexy For A Married Christian Woman?

twitter-instagram-reacts to meagan goods dress-bet awards 2013-the jasmine brand

Hands down, Meagan Good’s red carpet dress, caused quite a stir on social media, Sunday night, while at the BET Awards 2013. The newly married actress rocked a plunging, skin tight floor length gown that was an absolute show stopper. So what’s the big deal? Well, it depends on who you ask.

Some thought her body (breasts included) looked absolutely stunning. While others suggest that it was inapproriate because she was presenting a Gospel Award; not to mention, that her husband, movie executive DeVon Franklin, is an ordained minister. After posting the photo on my Instagram, the comments were endless:

tifwaltThat dress was not appropriate!

flymikejJust because she is married to a pastor doesn’t not mean she can’t dress sexy. She still leaving with him and if he doesn’t have a problem then I don’t have a problem.

alaya_mingleeThere’s a difference between sexy and inappropriate. She’s married to a pastor and she present the gospel award.#DoBetter

What are your thoughts on Meagan’s attire? Are folk being too judgemental, because she’s a Christian or was the dress 100% inappropriate for public viewing?

    I was hoping this would post. I Believe as a pastors’ wife, there should be some modesty and humility somewhere. As a first lady there is also some self respect due. She is not in Jennifer Lopez situation when she wore this style years ago, and I truly believe her husband should have handled that before leaving their home. It not only brings attention to her basically showing everything, but it leaves me questioning her husband as a minister.

      interesting point.

      • Mr.K at 1:37 am

        People keep calling Meagan Good’s husband a pastor. He is NOT a pastor. Yes he preaches from time to time because he’s a Christian, but actually he is a VP of production at Columbia Tristar Pictures. A quick Google search will tell you that. So with that said, how will that change your opinions, if at all?

  2. No... at 11:38 am

    LOL he’s ordained. I’m ordained and guess what you can pretty much become ordained online now no matter what your faith is.

    I think it’s hilarious that those very same people where cheering on R.Kelly in all of his Pedophile Glory. Someone who was lucky to get a break in a case with a young girl, and someone who’s a creep. In a time where the blame was placed on that girl for “knowing what she is doing” but not this guy who going there with her.

    But he can “sang” and people were quoted saying they didn’t care what he did in the past “he sure can perform” everybody is willing to let that slide but NOT this? She is wearing a dress so what…half of these same folks are in the club twerking it hard, and then tweeting that they give God all the Glory while still hungover.

    LOL and who is her husband to “handle” anything what is this 1950? Marriage doesn’t mean a MAN is in charge of what you do. He got that woman while she dressed this way,, so why would she change when he knew what he was getting into. He clearly was fine with it, now personally regardless of who or what he does she should have put a simple nipple protector on her breast doesn’t matter who she is.

    I think that it was inappropriate for her to wear it. She was presenting the Gospel award and she is a preacher wife. Even if she wasn’t presenting the Gospel award she is a FIRST LADY. When you become a Christian it is just some things that you do not do. There should be a change in us that others should see and want to be like us. You should leave the old ways/looks behind when you become a Christian. I also feel that her husband should have said something to her about it as well.

    I dont know about Meagan dress…BUT La La’s dress is HIDEOUS!…

  5. Kris at 1:36 pm

    I think ppl need to really learn the difference between Pastor, preacher and ordained minister. This main isn’t preaching at anyone’s church in Sun. He is movie exec. She’s a young beautiful woman that happens to be a wife. If her jusband loved it..them who am I to complain. I thought she looked gorgeous.

  6. Brandi at 1:42 pm

    At the end of the day she is a actress that is representing her brand and he knew what he was marrying she is a sexy beautiful women with curve.

  7. Parislesley at 3:16 pm

    One thing we must all get clear!! The man is not a pastor. He said it himself. He indeed is a minister. He delivers the word like one who has the gift. Megan married a man who has the spirit of Christ… But again not a pastor.. Nonetheless a woman of faith we are taught that our body is our temple therefore keeping it Holy for God. So yes the dress is a little scandalous but he without sin cast the first stone! #thatisall

    • I don't understand at 7:38 pm

      You’re right we’ve alllll sinned. And this dress is a dang sin too. She’s straight up naked. Just walking around naked, presenting a gospel award is NOT…I repeat NOT sexy.

  8. Strait Blak at 3:52 pm

    Megan is a sensual woman and sexuality pours out of her. And for the critics. Ask yourself, If I was that fine and could where that dress, would I? Absolutely. Good is the cream of the crop when it comes to beauty, no matter what race or religion.

  9. Dolcezza at 4:03 pm

    I think what really made people bring up the fact that she is married to a ‘minister’, in reference to her wearing the dress, is because she presented the Gospel award. That threw it over the top as being ‘inappropriate’. I think if she presented the Best r&b video award or something of that nature.. she wouldn’t have received as much heat as she did.

  10. C at 6:11 pm

    She may be a Pastor’s wife but she had a career prior to marrying him. I see worse then this in church every Sunday. If you go to a Mega Black Church then I’m sure you would agree. However, this dress does tend to evoke some sin..lust lol

  11. I don't understand at 7:35 pm

    She is straight up naked. Not much left to the imagination. She wore that outfit for men…and some women, to lust after her. Let’s keep it real people. It’s one thing to be sexy, it’s another thing to be straight up naked…and presenting a gospel award. Not appropriate!

    • Sara Ann at 9:21 am

      I agree. If u claiming Christianity, then please dress accordingly. Read your Bibles people….the dress code is there. A lot of us just choose to ignore it because it’s easier & more pleasurable to follow the sinful ways of this world of SATAN.

  12. M.Dot at 3:17 am

    I love Meagan, I love the dress, I am a Christian and see nothing wrong with it, she is gorg! however, Not the best choice to present a gospel award though.

  13. Kay at 3:50 pm

    “It is good neither to eat flesh, nor drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak” Romans 14:21- Her dress was not appropriate to wear because it can cause a stumbling block with the area of lust. She could rock that dress all day, every day with her husband. However, when she steps out in the dress and lets other men see her that way, they can lust. We have liberties but we’re not suppose to let those liberties assist others in falling. So, yes you have a responsibility for what you put on IF YOU are a christian.

    • I don't understand at 2:41 pm

      I agree. She’s beautiful. Her body is perfect! Go girl!…but do go presenting a gospel award. I wouldn’t walk around my own house like this my kids at home. Now in my bedroom…that’s another story. Or even at the club…do you! just maybe not gospel.

  14. Kay at 3:59 pm

    And….ppl please stop with all that cast the first stone response. In that situation they had stones in their hands about to kill her. And if you know the story, Jesus told the lady to neither do I condemn thee, go and sin no more. He addressed the sin by TELLING her don’t do it. He just wasn’t condemning her to death. You can address sin. People use this out of context to never have to address conduct.

    First of all, half the people on here are hypocrites. Yeah, I said it! How you gonna (here it comes…) JUDGE someone and call YOURSELF a Christian? So what she had ona dress that – by opinion – was inappropriate, when half the congregation go to the club in one the night before and come to work straight from the club to take their Spiritual shower? GTFOHH (decode this). And if you were to study the history of both religion and music, in some cultures, what we call “Gospel” music today, is considered secular music by the church. So, stop with the rants because you can’t wear it like she did…and if you can…GOOD for you. If her husband – regardless of his occupation – is fine with it, who are we to have an opinion? Oh yeah, I forgot, the sense of entitlement vs our social values are in direct contrast with our personal lives, therefore, we became fashion, music and movie critics, overnight.

    • Tammy at 8:19 am

      Seems like you’re the hypocrite. You’re judging people who are on here giving their opinions. And I hate when people rant about stuff off topic and fuss at others about did they say something when this happened or that happened. How about you shut your lip and see if my tail placed a comment somewhere about that other incident! This section ain’t about J-Lo or no dog gon cop that shot an unarmed man, that’s why ain’t nobody talking about it here. And if people talking about a dress makes you get that heated that you have to place multiple comments fussin at other people, STOP reading blogs regarding things you find trivial and putting yourself thru all this frustration. @ here’s a tip fo yo life.com

    Did anyone say anything (complain) about J-Lo when she wore her Versace dress with an equally low cut? It doesn’t matter that she wasn’t presenting an award for anything, she had on a similar outfit. I don’t think we cared then, or some of your were too your to even remember or notice. There is more important topics to debate or discuss, but not everyone hold the same thing in the same regard. OK. let’s talk about the cop who shot and killed…(fill in the blank) an unarmed man. Or the man who killed his (fill in the blank). Or, the schools in Philadelphia that will be closed and put over 3000 teachers out of work… #getmypoint? Half the people who complain, don’t vote. Majority of the people who complain about how another woman is dressed, can’t fit it, or is a hater. Why is it some women can’t compliment another woman and MEAN it? And those that are true to the game, you are appreciated and ask to continue to set positive examples for our sisters. Yes, ladies…we men are gonna look at eye candy…there is somebody, for everybody…So, let’s end this topic and work on solving real problems, not being fashion consultants or critics.

    Half the people who complain, don’t vote, or attend church on a regualr basis. Majority of the people who complain about how another woman is dressed, can’t fit it, or is a hater.

    As for her husband, rather he knew or not, they are grown, we don’t pay for their bills or any daily living expenses, nor do they pay – or care to pay – ours. So, why — WHY should we even CARE? Did anyone get hurt, robbed or mugged BECAUSE of her dress? Look at the women on Sunday with the panty lines and tight ass dresses IN CHURCH with 5 inch heels on…all sanctified and shit on Sunday…and tell me that there isn’t one person making the same judgmental statements about her, as the MEN watch – or pretend NOT TO.

    What I find more confusing than anything is this: pseudo Christians get upset, offended and bent out of shape, where as those who are strong and steadfast in their faith don’t, when dialogue that contradicts THEIR beliefs (system) or they are challenged…

    • be reasonable at 3:42 pm

      should’nt ur pastor address the ladies dressing indescently?,even at that lets call a spade a spade,what she wore was wrong.

    • Ms.Me at 10:31 pm

      I’m not a pseudo Christian, but when you represent the House of God and you are presenting an award for Gospel music what she has on is inappropriate all day. Now if she were presenting an award to Lil Wayne or Rick Ross or Diddy she dressed appropriately but because the lines are blurred and Christians like her and her husband think that they are not examples for young women who don’t know any better it is shameful and inappropriate all day. If you were going to a porn convention you wear what porn stars where, when you fight a fire you wear what firefighters wear, if you are a doctor you wear what doctors wear if you represent Christians you wear things that are decent and in order. She was neither decent and in order. The sad thing is that we have confused sexy with trashy, and what she wore was flat out trashy. Meaghan is a beautiful and sexy woman and she cheapend her beauty and her sex appeal by wearing a ho dress. If she would have covered up her tata’s she would have been just as sexy and not trashy. It’s sad that people still want negative press these days. Smh and Devon for him not being the man of the household and suggesting that she wear something more appropriate as a ” wife.” Let’s exclude the fact that she’s married to an ordained minister or a self professed Christian. What she wore is not appropriate as a married woman. Totally inappropriate.

  19. be reasonable at 3:45 pm

    i do no hate her and she’s got a nice physic,but what she wore was wrong

  20. Resa at 5:31 pm

    No.

  21. Ms.Me at 10:21 pm

    Yes, her tata’s out for a Gospel Award just goes to show what this world is coming to. If she were at a porn convention it would be right at home but it’s interesting the things we let people get away with depending on who they are married to. We know who is running that household… them tata’s. Any real man of God would have lovingly suggested a more appropriate dress but I guess pimping still exist in the ordained pulpit too. SMH and pulling out my hair! that’s a hot stanking mess.

  22. vapariga at 1:39 pm

    This dress was wrong! For the presentation, for her representation of a married woman to a man of God, and alludes to nothing but sexual connotations and all of this ridicule & rhetoric….which maybe is just what she wanted? People talking…think about it, she has fallen under the radar lately. But I’m mostly surprised by her husband’s acceptance, IF that was the case, and we really don’t know. I mean, the dress screams for attention on her ass & tits. PERIOD. Maybe she’s very insecure on the inside and NEEDS constant attention. Who knows, but I think the dress was very inappropriate. A little cleavage is fine but that was crazy, for both her AND J. Lo. Be a lady in the streets and a freak in the bed! You’re supposed to save that for your man, not show the world! She may as well put on display in playboy now.
