Coco Austin is known largely for her body, if not her body of work. When you consider the physique of the 34 year-old actress/model, it's not hard to figure out why. And when you've got the body that Austin does, it's not surprising that people constantly throw out rumors that you've had work done. Austin discussed those rumors with Tamar Braxton and the other hosts of Fox's "The Real" talk show, and assured them that her tush was more than legitimate. In fact, she was surprised to hear the rumors at all, because up until recently, she was embarrassed by her posterior.

"But I really kind of hide my hips," she said. "I hated my hips. Now, I flaunt it. I was always flaunting my boobs. I loved my boobs. I bought them at 18. I loved them. I was taking away from the hip area."

She thanks her husband of 12 years, rapper/actor Ice-T, for helping her appreciate what she had going on.

"I was covering it up and it wasn't till I got with my husband, Ice," she said. "He's the one, I give him credit for me being me to this day because he's the one who's like, 'You have something to work with, work it. It's unique.'"

Even with Austin's testimony, the rest of the cast was still a bit dubious. As we all know, touching is believing, so Austin invited the ladies to give her backside a feel for good measure. All obliged and were forced to acknowledge there was nothing plastic about it.

The model then gave a demonstration of what she could do with such a thing, treating the hosts to a lesson on twerking. As Austin noted, with Braxton in agreement, the idea of "twerking" was a new one to her. She referred to as good old-fashioned "booty shaking."
