Skai Jackson Confronts Online Trolls Criticizing Her Baby’s Appearance
In a series of videos shared by The Shade Room via LiveBitez, the talented actress firmly responded to individuals labeling her son as “pale” and “too white.” She took the opportunity to educate her audience, clarifying that an infant’s true skin tone isn’t fully apparent immediately after birth. Babies undergo gradual changes in melanin production, and their complexions can evolve significantly over time.
“Just because a baby is a month, two months, or even three months old, that does not mean their melanin has fully developed. Additionally, some babies are naturally light-skinned, and that’s perfectly okay!” Jackson asserted in her response. Her comments highlight the natural diversity in skin tones among newborns, emphasizing the importance of understanding these variations rather than making superficial judgments.
Skai further expressed that the color of a newborn’s skin should not be a topic of concern for anyone outside the family. She categorized the negative comments as “the dumbest thing she’s seen.” This experience has reinforced her decision to limit her son’s exposure on social media, stating she “won’t be posting him.” While generally indifferent to public opinion about herself, she believes it is cruel to comment on a child’s appearance.
“People need to cease making comments about others’ children because it is simply not acceptable, and I’m sure you wouldn’t appreciate such remarks about your own kids!” Jackson added emphatically, advocating for kindness and understanding in online discourse.
