Yet another woke celebrity has been called out for using “blackface” in the past.
Hollywood actress and self-described activist Alyssa Milano is now under fire for a recently uncovered video in which she wears dark makeup that some have found racially offensive.
The video was a comedy sketch for Funny Or Die starring Milano, who darkened her skin in an attempt to emulate Snooki from the popular reality show “Jersey Shore.”
The actress responded to “right wing trolls” by saying that “Snookie’s tan” is “worthy of parodying” in a tweet.
WARNING: The following tweet contains graphic language that some viewers will find offensive.
Milano isn’t the only celebrity who has come under the gun for donning blackface in past impressions.
Late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are also both under fire for darkening their skin for comedic impressions they had performed in the past.

“There is nothing more important to me than your respect, and I apologize to those who were genuinely hurt or offended by the makeup I wore or the words I spoke,” Kimmel wrote.
“I believe that I have evolved and matured over the last twenty-plus years, and I hope that is evident to anyone who watches my show.”
Kimmel’s fellow late-night host Jimmy Fallon was also harshly criticized for impersonating comedian Chris Rock in an SNL skit from 2000.
Fallon responded on his show by saying “I realized that I can’t not say I’m horrified, and I’m sorry and I’m embarrassed” according to the Los Angeles Times.
“And what that small gesture did for me was break my own silence. … Silence is the biggest crime that white guys like me, and the rest of us, are doing.”
