The social media feeds were buzzing over the weekend about some Hollywood celebrity wearing blackface to a costume party.
Julianne Hough?
That’s not pronounced “hoe” as in garden tool. But “huff” as in “rough.”
But it’s hard to imagine she didn’t expect any kind of reaction when she showed up to a party in heavier than normal makeup.
It was an apparent tribute to actress Uzo Aduba, who plays the character “Crazy Eyes,” in the Netflix series, “Orange is the New Black.”
Maybe she thought just by putting on the bronzing cream extra heavy, no one would notice. It’s not like she used Shinola and big lips.
She must have thought her homage was a little different, with the hair, the orange smock. She looked like the character a bit. But a Halloween party isn’t a “Go as your favorite Negro,” party.
