Serena Williams Firmly Rebukes Accusations About Bleaching Her Skin

by

Serena Williams firmly shot down rumors about bleaching her skin while discussing her beauty routine during a recent Instagram Live session for her Wyn Beauty brand. The clarification comes after a recent video from her daughter’s school play went viral and sparked all kinds of fan theories.

“And no, for you haters out there, I do not bleach my skin,” she said. “There is a thing called sunlight and in that sunlight, you get different colors. And, if I’m not posting and recorrecting my pictures and posting from my daughter’s– she had a play that I was volunteering on and had stage makeup on. Yes, I’m calling you out on this because it is ridiculous that everyone’s like, ‘Oh, she bleaches her skin.’ I’m a dark Black woman and I love who I am and I love how I look. And, that’s just not my thing. If people do it, that’s their thing and they have every opportunity and they should. I don’t judge. But you guys do. That’s what this world is about and I stay in my lane, the non-judgy one.”

Serena Williams Faces Skin-Bleaching Accusations As Fans Question New Video

by

Serena Williams recently took to social media to share a fun clip alongside her husband. Unfortunately, however, the clip has left some social media users concerned. The tennis star started trending on X today as users pointed out her skin tone in the clip, arguing that it looks much lighter than before.

“That’s really Serena Williams? Has she bleached her skin?” one user asks. “This what happens when you get with them rich white men,” someone else claims. While many commenters are pointing at alleged skin bleaching as the culprit for Williams’ seemingly lighter skin, others argue that there are plenty of other things that could be to blame. Several users argue that this could be a case of an incorrect makeup shade, poor lighting, or a filter. Others theorize that it could be due to Williams spending less time in the sun playing tennis than usual these days.

Social Media Users Think Serena Williams’ Skin Looks Lighter

At the time of writing, Williams has not addressed the skin-bleaching allegations. She’s far from the only celebrity who’s dealt with them, however. In August of this year, Cardi B was also accused of bleaching her skin but wasted zero time shutting down the allegations. According to her, she was anemic during her pregnancy with her third child. “Bleaching while pregnant😒😒😒? Why must yall be so d*mb? Actually NO! I’m pregnant I’m slightly anemic, this baby suckin all the energy off my body to the point I’m pale. Eyes sunken, veins green ASF, can’t tan under the sun cause I get hot super fast and dizzy…. PLEASE STOP THINKIN WITH YOUR A**HOLE,” she wrote.

Doja Cat has also fallen victim to these kinds of accusations, including in 2020. At the time, she didn’t hesitate to fire back. “Hey, how about I’m half white, not entirely Black?” she said. “My skin gets very light when I don’t tan. I was staying in doors a lot before that shoot. New f***ing subject. Dumba**es.”

Beyonce Shares New Pictures On Social Media After Skin-Bleaching Claims

by

Beyonce is causing a lot of buzz right now as usual, this time for the premiere of her RENAISSANCE concert film. However, this occasion also prompted some heated discussion and accusations to fly around the Internet concerning her look for the event. Moreover, many fans speculated that the superstar singer whitened her skin for the pictures, contributing to unrealistic or warped beauty standards that many saw as a bite of Kim Kardashian’s style. It’s quite the difficult situation to navigate, albeit one based purely off gossip and interpretation. Regardless, while she didn’t directly address this, she did post some new pictures on Thursday (November 30) to seemingly combat these claims.

Furthermore, the Houston native included various close-up snaps of herself in her latest Instagram post, including some with her husband Jay-Z. As always, she looks gorgeous, and is definitely leaning into fits that compliment her new platinum blonde look. Despite this narrative becoming part of the conversation, it seems like it won’t stop Beyonce’s movie from attaining massive box office success. After all, why wouldn’t one of the most sought-after live experiences of the year become a hit for audiences who can get close to it from the comfort of a theater?

What’s more is that Tina Lawson, the Destiny’s Child alum’s mother, fought back against these accusations. “Came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all of the stup*d ignorant self hating racist statements about her, lightening her skin, and wearing platinum hair wanting to be white,” Beyonce’s mom wrote on Instagram. “She does a film, called the renaissance, where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet, and suggested silver attire and you bozos decide that she’s trying to be a white woman and is bleaching her skin?

“I am sick and tired of people attacking her,” she went on. “Every time she does something that she works her a** off for and is a statement of her work ethic, talent and resilience. Here you sad little haters come out the woodwork. Jealousy and racism, sexism, double standards, you perpetuate those things. Instead of celebrating a sister or just ignoring if you don’t like her. I am sick of you losers. I know that she is going to be pissed at me for doing this, but I am fed up ! This girl minds her own business. She helps people whenever she can. She lifts up & promotes black women and underdogs at all times.” For more news and updates on Beyonce, come back to HNHH.
