Tonto Dikeh
Tonto Dikeh is not a newcomer to criticism and controversies. In fact, you’d probably remember her last controversy before you remember the name of her last movie.
However, the recently married actress is not fazed by all of these.
And neither was she fazed when she was accused of bleaching her skin numerous times. Tonto who seemed lightskinned before the fame, was accused of enhancing the color to a paler skin tone.
The Sugar Rush Singer who has shared photos of her after receiving Spa treatments (most recent from Freda Francis’ owned Oasis Med Spa in Ikoyi) has neither confirmed or denied bleaching her skin.
Toke Makinwa
The OAP’s most recent scandal might be from her marriage but way before then, the most popular scandal trailing her was her skin color.
A few years ago, after Toke came into our consciousness, many people branded her a “bleacher” and did not go easy on the media personality.
And the closest she ever got close to discussing it was in an interview with Liz Yemoja where she never really owned it.
One thing she said clearly though, was whatever she did it was her business.
Well said, Toke.
Rukky Sanda
The Actress is one of the people who had to endure the “She’s bleaching” backlash from the public.
But unlike most of her colleagues, Rukky stated clearly that she was born fair and she’d do everything to maintain her skin tone.
According to her, it is her and “her cream”.
Iyabo Ojo
She belongs to the arm of Nollywood that gets easily bashed and so she was probably prepared for the bleaching allegations she received (and is probably) still receiving.
The Actress/Producer is one of the Yoruba Actresses who has been accused the most of bleaching.
Tayo Sobola
Probably the only celebrity who has admitted to being born dark skinned, the pretty actress does however claim she got fairer “as she grew older”.
Not sure if her claim is that the process of skin lightening is natural but she definitely lands on this list because she has been accused of brightening her skin tone.
Toyin Lawani
The Celebrity stylist does not care to defend her actions for the public and we already know that.
So, she would probably never admit what happened to her skin tone. Besides, the pretty mama of two runs a business empire that includes skin care products, so talking about whether she bleached or not might never be a topic she’d ever fully discuss.
But, she has been accused many times over of bleaching her skin. Her and her baby Daddy.
Dabota Lawson
When you Google the ex beauty queen’s images, you’re likely to see a category titled “bleaching”.
The self proclaimed Billionaire Wife has been accused of bleaching her skin and recently, gossip blogger Linda Ikeji was set straight for trying to shade the pretty entrepreneur and her dark knuckles.
Before and after photos have also been put together in various collages and so we wonder, is this lighting or lightening?
Really, only Dabota can say. And that’s if she chooses to say.
Mocheddah
Mo took time off to rebrand, get fit and to stay away from the Eldee/Unclad photo scandal that trailed her and threatened her career years ago.
But when she returned, she looked absolutely stunning and raised the question about what exactly happened to her skin color.
The Singer has never addressed the rumors, but that does not mean they’d go away as we have seen many times here.
But she does look amazing, or whatcha think?
Dayo Amusa
She is undoubtedly one of the biggest names from the Industry but she is also plagued with the bleaching controversy.
Years after coming into the Industry, Dayo Amusa’s skin tone became of major interest to the Public.
But like the others, the Actress has not confirmed it.
What are your thoughts? Did these female celebrities bleach? Is bleaching different from skin toning? Does it matter whether or not they bleach?.
