CURLS ALLOWED

-

FORMER Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson, left, is accused of ‘blackfishi­ng’ in her latest pop video, pretending to be a black person when you are actually white.

She says her new look was down to a deep tan she got from three weeks in Antigua and letting her straighten­ed hair go wild with her natural curls — no offence or cultural misappropr­iation intended.

To which I must add that, as an Aussie in these judgmental days, I promise I’m not trying to pretend I’m an Aboriginal woman now I’ve let my hair go naturally curly.
