Jackie’s Oldest Daughter
When it comes down to my reality television, I’ve been slipping, however recently I caught the episode of Basketball Wives:LA. Ms. Jackie Christie should be ashamed of herself! If your kids are telling you how they feel about a certain situation, then 9 times out of 10, you need to believe them. Here we have another “celebrity,” (if that’s what you want to call her) who is trying to show face, so she seemingly disrepects her and downs her eldest daughter her entire life for being dark-skinned and thicker than the youngest daughter. She tries to blame it on her daughter having low self-esteem, but if you were uplifting your daughter the way you say, then there shouldn’t be a problem. SAD! Drop down bottom for more.
“We have a daughter [Chantel] that’s very light-skinned, very fair or pale-skinned, so in our family it kind of goes across the gamut,” Jackie told Carlton Jordan, adding that her older daughter, Takari, has a harder time loving her reflection. “And we have a dark-skinned daughter that’s a little older and she fights with that self-esteem issue a lot, too.”
For Jackie, Takari’s shade is an advantage and that only enhances her beauty. She’s baffled by her daughter’s attitude toward her skin tone. “She’s very pretty, but she still feels like, ‘Why did I have to be born dark?’ I tell her, ‘You’re beautiful,'” Jackie said. “You can wear whites, and baby blues, and lime greens, and it looks stunning. So don’t worry about that.'”
Jackie said that Takari’s issues are not rare among women with deeper skin tones, though.
