So, somebody told country singer Julianne Hough that it would be a great idea to roll up to a Halloween party dress as Suzanne “Crazy Eyes” Warren (played by Uzo Aduba) on the popular Netflix Original series “Orange is the New Black”. The rest of her crew donned orange jumpsuits also, as they were all dressed as Orange Is The New Black characters, but only Julianne had the gall to ‘blacken’ her face.
It seems Tamar Braxton didn’t understand what the big deal was. Speaking to The Morning Buzz she said:
“I am African-American, but I’m just saying… like if you had four tans on top of each other, you know what I’m saying, like the spray tans? That’s what she looks like!”
Braxton also added:
“I think people are on team too much right now, cause it’s Halloween, and you should go dressed as you want to. Would you be offended if I wore a conehead and painted myself white? I mean, it’s not like you are trying to be racist or offensive or anything like that… “You’re drunk by the time you figure out who people are… It’s not that serious. And what she looks like is definitely not offensive to me. I mean I wouldn’t think nothing of it.”
Interesting viewpoint. But after that hot mess of video – “Hot Sugar” … can we really trust her judgement? Seriously.
Julianne however, recognized her error in judgment and apologized for the incident via Twitter

I dont think its offensive I just dont feel the black paint is necessary or using the n word to describe your costume.
Im sorry but im so tired of people playing this card of oh its offensive. Oh its this or oh she racist cause she did this… Every white person is not racist and every black person is not racist or a thug… Grow up people.. Halloween People dress up all the time as characters.. I can understand when the dude came out and did the trayvon martin as a costume.. completely understand to get mad.. but come on a tv show and people wanna pull that card out and get mad… Why no one got mad and blasted miley cyrus out for playing a female rapper that was apparently black .. or was it because oh she didnt paint her face that color so because she didnt get into details oh she good.. Please… some people are to much.. get over it..
I’m glad that someone else has some sense nowadays, even if it is Tamar. Maybe if she was the only one in her group dressed like the show, but they were the entire cast, it was Halloween, and it’s really not that serious. People need to chill and take a day off from being soooo sensitive to everything.
The coneheads example makes a great point. People wouldn’t have said a thing, but when we see it, we always have to make an issue of it. CHILL people…
No any and everybody knows how offensive that is. She could’ve just wore jumpsuits like everybody else.
First off, why do news and media outlets interview airheads regrding serious issues?? Anywho, I am not surprised she is cool with it… she bleaches her skin and has issues with her own blackness.
But yes, do love Orange is the New Black!!!
No! This is not acceptable!!! I love that show tho!
