Baseball great Sammy Sosa has finally come clean about his lighter complexion after rampant rumors of skin bleaching hit the Internets last week.
Sosa says his new, brighter complexion was caused by a “cosmetic cream” that he’s been using for “a long time.” He didn’t say how long. But he did say the skin cream that he used to “soften his skin,” combined with harsh camera lighting contributed to making his skin appear much lighter than it normally is.
We would be inclined to believe him if it weren’t for the fact that his skin tone if at least 10 shades lighter than it used to be. Sosa stopped just short of calling the skin cream a bleaching agent. so we’ll do it for him:
Sosa used a bleaching agent AND he’s wearing colored contacts to lighten his eyes.
Self-hating Sosa gets props for at least admitting to using something on his face and not falling back on a sorry excuse such as he had some sort of skin disease like Michael Jackson claimed before taking his secret to the grave with him.
