Kapamilya actress Liza Soberano was recently criticized online because of her latest social media post that allegedly discriminated black people.
KAMI learned that the gorgeous actress uploaded a photo of her for an advertisement, and it was evident that she was imitating Spice Girls’ Melanie Brown.
The former “Dolce Amore” star wore a leopard print outfit and an Afro hairstyle to mirror the famous English singer and television personality.
A lot of netizens also accused the celebrity of wearing a black face, a kind of makeup that artists use to look darker, especially if they need to portray a black person’s role.
The said makeup is believed to be an insult to black individuals since it was originally used by white people to portray caricatures of African slaves.
“What the she did black face?!” a social media user commented.
