The House of Commons and the Indian Government have been rocked by the alleged racist comments against Shilpa Shetty at the Big Brother show. Danielle Lloyd, the Miss Great Britain who was stripped off her crown, has allegedly called Shilpa a dog. But the same Danielle Lloyd had, in an interview to BBC, given things an anti-racial twist. When she was asked, “WHo was Winston Churchill – a rapper, US president, the PM or King?†Lloyd replied: “Wasn’t he the first black president of America? There’s a statue of him near my place – that’s blackâ€
Lloyd, who has apparently not appreciated the way Shilpa Shetty has left the chicken ‘undercooked’, had on an earlier interview expressed her desire to eat Indian food. Said the model, “I love indian food but I think it probably tastes better than in the UK? IS that right?â€
Considering the disparity between her actual behaviour and what she had claimed earlier, does one conclude that celebs like her are acting when it comes to feeding viewers and fans with impressive sound bytes? Says Danielle Lloyd’s spokesperson, Angela De Fouw, “Danielle would be distraught to have been associated or linked with any form alleged racism. Many of Danielle’s closet friends are from multo-cultural backgrounds and are of diverse races. Danielle is the last person who would condone any form of racism or bullying.â€
Yet, issuing such a comment when viewers have watched Danielle use such phrases doesn’t change the coloured perspective.
