Halle Berry is speaking out after a radio host from Buffalo, New York, compared the skin tones of black celebrities with a toast.
Morning bull host Rob Lederman was fired from Rock 97 show this week, after discussing whether or not he finds certain black women “attractive” during a segment.
“See, we have ours – and I may be in trouble for that – I have them to attract the women I find attractive,” he said on the air on Wednesday, March 24. “So I will never go to a Serena Williams level … But I am very comfortable at the Halle Berry level. I need a little bit of mulatto still going, it can’t be … ”
A co-host asked, “Is it Gayle king, isn’t that your kingdom? “To which Lederman replied,” No, Gayle King is not even on my toaster level. ”
On Friday, March 26, Berry called the comments “disgusting”. The Oscar winner wrote in Twitter, “It is ridiculous that this kind of nonsense is still being transmitted over radio waves. ALL black women are beautiful and dignified, Rob Lederman. GTFOH.”
