A couple of days ago the beautiful Lisa Raye stopped by Big Tigger’s radio show on V-103 to promote her new movie entitled “Skinned.” She has taken the role of director for the film which takes a view into the world of skin bleaching through harmful chemical products.
Well at the beginning of her interview she jumped right into criticizing a popular dark spot removal product called “Whitenicious” that has been receiving a lot of backlash because many feel as though its being used as a skin bleaching product that causes cancer.
“This product thats on the market now called whitealicious and they use this cream like lotion all over their body to bleach their skin to become lighter,” the actress said. “Now what happens though their knuckles, their elbows stay the original color. Now you’re looking at them like ‘what did you do?’ We thought that this message was not only just educational but way to get get the message out in an entertaining way by doing it in a film.”
Well the creator of ‘Whitenicious’ , Nigerian-Cambodian pop star Dencia, was not here for the comments Lisa Raye said at all! In one of her latest Twitter rants she went off on the actress and has threatened to sue her over words:
Well it looks like Dencia made good on her threat because a source close to Dencia’s camp has just came forward stating that the singer has already begun the legal process against Lisa!
Heres what the source had to say:
“Lisa Raye made comments about her skin whitening products causing cancer during an interview promoting her movie. The pop singer who apparently made $20 million last year from the company wasted no time by hiring a top Hollywood lawyer to sue Lisa Raye. I don’t have the full statement but I do know that they wanted a retraction but she changed her mind and will be filing a lawsuit. She has already met with lawyers this week and yes Lisa Raye might need to put out some real coins or get a bigger lawyer.”
Dencía has recent intense scrutiny since 2014 (when the product made its debut) because she has appeared recently visibly lighter than how she used to be. Many people feel as though she is sending the wrong message with her product even though she stands firmly saying that her products are to be used for dark spots only.
