You know how hard it is to be blonde? I have to get a highlight every month!
Do you know how expensive that is?
I literally f___ing went through hell and literally lived in different countries like every other month and didnt speak the language, she said.
I didnt speak Paris,
didnt speak Italian.
And I did that for like, two years.
She posted this apology on Sunday, saying how her comments really came across as incredibly insensitive.

(5,542 posts)I literally don't think this woman understands the meaning of literally. Unless of course she has actually been to hell.
It does not surprise me since she thinks Paris is a language.

(9,350 posts)Her comments were just too stupid and too self-absorbed. To compare herself to black women because she had lived in countries were she did not speak the language and due to her having blonde hair was completely stupid and self-absorbed. She cannot relate to black women based on those things alone. Black women have had to do with being mistreated in their own country while they spoke the language of their country. Having to pay large amounts of money to dye your hair is not the same as being mistreated solely due to your race.

(31,261 posts)Why would a natural blonde need highlights? We have plenty here in Florida and a lot of them are really, really blonde (even blonde eyebrows), none seem to do highlights.
