Halle Berry Claps Back At New York Radio Host over ‘Disgusting’ Racist Comments
Halle Berry is sharing her thoughts on the racist on-air comments by a radio host who was fired for comparing her skin tone to numbered toast settings.
The actress tweeted out the 45-second 97 Rock clip of Rob Lederman’s racist comments comparing the skin tones of Black female stars like Berry, Serena Williams and Gayle King
“Disgusting, it’s ridiculous this type of nonsense is still being broadcasted across airwaves,” Berry tweeted. “ALL Black women are beautiful and worthy, Rob Lederman. GTFOH.”
In the clip shared to Twitter on Wednesday by ESPN reporter Marcel Louis-Jacques, Lederman said on The Morning Bull Show, “I may get into trouble for this,” before making his racist comments to his co-hosts Rich “Bull” Gaenzler and Chris Klein.
