Bobrisky has confessed to facing stress in maintaining her
light-skinned color since she decided to ‘bleach’ her skin color. She
made the confession in a documentary by Beverly Naya on colorism titled,
‘Skin.’
.
“If I can change something about myself, it will be
going back to my skin color as Idris Okuneye. Now, I’m Bobrisky and
light skinned but it is stressful being light skinned and maintaining
the complexion. Before I rub the cream, toner, cream my ankle, legs,
knuckles, and toes, it is stressful being a daily affair,” Bobrisky said
in the documentary.
.
In the exclusive interview, Bobrisky
explained why she decided to change her skin color from Idris Okuneye’s
skin color. “I came from a poor family and my father had three wives. I
knew I wanted to be popular and rich and I wanted to be a celebrity. I
have always believed that to get people’s attention, I have to be light
skinned because only girls with light skin get attention from people
generally and men,” she began.
