Tammy Roman reality star before and after skin bleaching treatment

Is drama-stirring “Basketball Wives” star Tami Roman yet another celebrity victim of skin bleaching or this just a case of terrible makeup/bad judgment? You be the judge.






Tami Roman posted this photo, sparking speculation that she bleached her skin  Twitter
 “Please say this is just bad make up and lighting...” wrote @MsBabyDoll117 on Twitter.
“WTF did Tami Roman do to herself?! She’s on that Sosa juice…three shades lighter,” wrote @lovekivi, referring to former Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa, who first bleached his skin back in 2009.
Other commenters defended Roman’s shocking new look, saying it is only makeup. “I doubt @TamiRoman bleached her skin. Leave her alone. It’s something called makeup and women love switching up looks. Tami is too real 4 that! [sic],” said @StevenMcCoyB.
The notion of skin lightening has been problematic specifically within the black community since historical times, as dominant beauty standards tend to enforce white cultural norms and images.
As a result, these dominant views have been transmitted to black women and the black community as a whole.
Roman is not the first black person in the entertainment industry   to be accused of skin bleaching. Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé, India Arie, Dawn Richards and Lil’ Kim are other notable celebrities accused of lightening their skin in recent years. Roman has yet to address the skin-bleaching rumors.
