DANI’S DERRIERE American Pickers’ Danielle Colby resurfaces in just a thong and leopard-print bra months after quitting social media

AMERICAN Pickers star Danielle Colby has returned to social media with a bold new post, months after stepping away from public life.

TV personality Danielle, 48, reappeared online earlier this month with a new Instagram account – and she’s already racked up 25k followers.

Danielle marked her return by posting a photo wearing only a leopard-print corset top and thong to promote a sexy burlesque show.

She also rocked a full visage of leopard style face paint.

The reality star had been absent from social media since January, when she quietly deactivated both Instagram and OnlyFans.

Her return comes after a few months offline, during which time she reportedly focused on their personal life and health.

In addition to her return to Instagram, she has resumed activity on OnlyFans, where she shares adult content with subscribers.

Danielle made a name for herself as a member of the American Pickers family.

For quite some time, there was confusion over whether Danielle was fired or left American Pickers after she stopped appearing on the show.

She did feature as a cast member in season 23, with IMdB crediting their last appearance as episode 14, entitled Pool Hall Picking.

The Iowa native was known for her role as Shop Manager and has been starring in the program since 2009.

In a 2012 interview with the Miami New Times, she said that “one never knows what will happen in the future”.

She said: “I highly doubt that Antique Archaeology is the last job I’ll ever have in my life, though it is definitely the coolest job I’ve had to date.

“It all depends on when my time there has run its course.

“I have an obligation to Mike [Wolfe] who put me in the position I’m in right now, and I’ll respect that ’til the end.

“My plan is just to stick around and see what happens. But I have a contract, and I’ll of course honor that contract.

“I guess that’s a sugar-coated way of saying I’d love a spin-off.”

In late 2022, Danielle underwent a hysterectomy after suffering from “incredibly painful” uterine fibroids.

She admitted she had “lost” their “desire to work” in the “emotionally taxing” time after the surgery.

However, she returned for season 25 in 2023.

The show is currently in its 27th season.
