Lalla Hirayama issues apology after TikTok video offends coloured women

[Nemus]

TV presenter Lalla Hirayama has issued an apology after what was intended to be a funny TikTok video ended up offending coloured women across the country.

Lalla has been added to the list of celebrities whose humour has rubbed people up the wrong way on social media. This after the video she posted of herself mimicking a coloured woman singing an adapted version of 2 Legit 2 Quit by MC Hammer attracted major backlash as the video found its way to Twitter.

In the video Lalla jokingly makes "funny" facial expressions and mimics the mannerism of some coloured women, which are quite stereotypical. Social media users came for Lalla for “attacking” coloured women for “cheap laughs”.

Watched the video, this is so ludicrous. Pretending to be someone else is a hate crime if that person is of a darker complexion than yourself :/

That is a good point you raise as she did not say anything as its a voice over if I am correct.

 

[Rickster]

Because she is "famous" people will try and make a big deal out of kuk.

If a nobody did this they wouldnt have batted an eye. Fk idiots man.
