Alyssa Milano Slams Blackface Allegations, Says She Was Portraying Snooki from 'Jersey Shore'

Alyssa Milano Slams Blackface Allegations, Says She Was Portraying Snooki from 'Jersey Shore'

Alyssa Milano has no time for nonsense.

Over the weekend, the 47-year-old actress was accused of dressing in “blackface” after news outlet Lifezette, a website ran by Fox News commentator Laura Ingraham, ran a headline that read, “Alyssa Milano embroiled in blackface scandal – damning video comes back to haunt her.”

The video in question, came from 2013 when Alyssa took part in a Funny or Die skit when an makeup artist used tons of bronzer of Alyssa to transform her to Snooki from Jersey Shore.

After being accused of “blackface,” Alyssa took to Twitter to slam the allegations.

“Hey, a–holes. The below picture is me parodying Jersey Shore and Snookie’s tan,” Alyssa tweeted. “Snookie’s tan (she is a sweetheart by the way) is worthy of parodying as is Trump’s ‘tan’. So go f–k yourselves with your smear campaign.”

And she didn’t stop there. Alyssa sent another tweet, writing, “The right wing trolls are using a still from this funny or die video where a parodied Snookie from Jersey Shore. If you see the screen grab that they are using maybe you can shut them down with a link to the entire video.”
