Bhad Bhabie posted controversial videos last week where her skin appeared to be a darker
shade and now she’s addressing blackfishing allegations getting herself into even more
trouble online.
What’s up?
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News bringing you all the entertainment updates
from my in home Clevver studio and Danielle Bregoli has found herself in hot water yet
AGAIN.
This time, it really isn’t pretty!
I just wanted to give a quick trigger warning before we get into this story, there are some
pretty serious racist remarks made and only continue watching this if you feel comfortable
doing so.
Alright so let’s rewind to last week for a second when Bhad Bhabie got backlash for
posting videos of herself looking pretty different than what fans are used to typically seeing.
And Danielle later clarified that it was her makeup and filters… but either way she looks…
different.
I’ll let you see for yourself.
Here’s the first video that was in question.
And then here’s the second one.
And as soon as she posted, the comments about her appearance started flowing in.
Many fans accused Danielle of cultural appropriation and blackfishing.
One fan commented writing quote, “Okay, i think we can all agree she’s trying too
hard to be a part of a culture she’s not.”
Another said quote, “This is what I like to call blackfishing”
And another wrote quote, “She will never be us no matter how hard she tries”
And now Bhad Bhabie has made it clear she wasn’t trying to do that at all.
We’ll get into everything she said, but first, go ahead and subscribe to Clevver News
if you haven’t already so you never miss out on any breaking news updates.
Alright so Danielle went on Instagram Live and went off about the backlash she received
for those videos.
She explained that she was wearing a dark foundation to make her look tan, but then
she addressed the blackfishing in quite possibly the worst way imaginable.
Obviously people were deeply hurt and offended by Danielle’s remarks and took to Twitter
to share their thoughts.
One person wrote quote, “It’s not about being black or wanting to be black.
It’s about reaping the benefits of black culture and features without having to pay
the price black people pay everyday for being black.
So in actuality about not being black and not wanting to be black.
Lest you pay the price.”
Another said quote, “she asked who wants to be black like it’s not her.....”
And another wrote quote, “She's over... case closed…”
And others are just tweeting #BhadBabieIsOverParty.
But this wasn’t the only part of Bhad Bhabie’s rant that upset fans.
She also argued that she “acts black” because she grew up quote “in the hood which
is similar to Tarzan's upbringing.”
Tarzan as in THIS Disney character.
We’ll get into all the issues and implications with that statement too but here she is talking
about it.
Alright so just in case you needed a little refresher on the story of Tarzan, it's about
a young boy who is found in the jungle by a gorilla and then is raised by gorillas.
Fans are extremely upset because Bhad Bhabie essentially compared her upbringing and the
way she acts to Tarzan acting like a gorilla because he was raised by gorillas.
And we’re not sure if Danielle realized the racial insensitivity in this statement
when she said it, but fans on Twitter definitely let her know.
They found this statement from Danielle even more shocking than her first controversial
remark.
They took to social media and you can guess what they did next!
Really quick I’m very curious to know your opinions on Bhad Bhabies statements of “who
wants to be black” and comparing her upbringing to that of Tarzan.
Get to talking down in the comments!
One person shared this GIF and wrote quote, “Bhad Bhabie compared her acting black because
she “grew up in the hood” to Tarzan being raised by gorillas???
Man”
Another said quote, “I see where her empty-headed ass is trying to go with this ‘argument’
and it makes her look even worse!!!!!!!!!
TARZAN grew up with APES sis!!!!
LMAO”
And another wrote quote, “still in shock she actually tried to make the comparison”
And while I would say I agree with being shocked, after these statements, nothing Danielle says
or does can shock me.
She definitely crossed a lot of lines here.
2020 is not looking good for Bhad Bhabie!
