Attention shoppers Not all Halloween costumes are a great idea.
Julianne Hough learned that lesson quite publicly this weekend. At a Halloween party on Friday night the actress dressed up in blackface adding an orange jumpsuit and a name tag that read Crazy Eyes as a nod to the character on Netflixs Orange is the New Black.
Soon the image was everywhere. Bloggers were in disbelief and Twitter users swiftly condemned the act. A sample tweet No Julianne Hough. Just NO. I can not believe blackface is not okay is a conversation we still need to have wrote user danie_bagel. By Saturday Hough was apologizing on Twitter. I am a huge fan of the show Orange is the New Black actress Uzo Aduba, and the character she has created. It certainly was never my intention to be disrespectful or demeaning to anyone in any way. I realize my costume hurt and offended people and I truly apologize Hough tweeted.
