CORI AS SHAUNIE'S DOUBLE

Shaunie posted two pictures of Cori. Alongside the pictures, she wrote that she did not post a birthday wish to her sister as she was "too focused" on singing her a special rendition of the "Happy Birthday" song.

The TV personality’s younger sister is shown in the black-and-white picture beaming with a smile while wearing a white shirt. She also sported a nose piercing and large hoop earrings.
