: MediaTakeOut.com got the entire media world in a frenzy over the weekend when we showed pics of baseball great Sammy Sosa with his skin bleached (see below). Well now Sammy's spokesperson came out with the following explanation:
He's not trying to be Michael Jackson. He is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin. Women have it all of the time. He was surprised he came out looking so white. I thought it was a body double. Part of (the photo appearance) is just the lighting.MMMM HMMMMM!!!"He is in the middle of doing a cleansing process to his skin. The picture is deceiving. He said, 'If you saw me in person, you would be surprised. When you see me in person, it is not going to seem like the picture.'"
MTO wasnt this the same exact post you had the other day??? How is this an admission when this is his original explanation, Plzz step up your game.... I acquired this from another web site
Sammy “Soft-White” has finally come clean about his skin whitening: Speaking publicly for the first time since photos of him from a recent musical awards ceremony were published on the Internet, Sosa said that the skin lightening is the result of the use of a facial cosmetic cream.
“It’s a bleaching cream that I apply before going to bed and whitens my skin some,” said the former slugger during the “Primer Impacto” program at the Univision Spanish network.
“It’s a cream that I have, that I use to soften [my skin], but has bleached me some. I’m not a racist, I live my life happily,” said a smiling Sosa during the interview.
The photo that has caused such turmoil was taken during the Grammy Latino Awards ceremony held last week in Las Vegas. It showed an extremely pale, smiling Sosa accompanied by his wife Sonia. The photo, distributed very quickly throughout Spanish- and English-language Web sites, caused speculation that Sosa was sick and quickly found its way to gossip-related sites.
Well, that bleaching cream worked its butt off on Sammy’s face. He looks like Ricky Ricardo now. SMH@ self-hatred and mutilation.

Sexymom-Yup, that is the most recent statement!
This FU.CKING self-hating mofo needs to stop with the BS. It is easy for a blind man to see, that Sammy hates anything that links him to his African roots. Eradicating his curly hair, skin complexion and covering up his genetically dark eyes. This dude is a fool for this. Yes, it's his body and his life. But he really does put Dominicans and other Blacks in a negative light, it shouldn't but it does. Now, some people are going to keep the stereotyple going that all Dark skinned or Black people have self-hate and that is NOT the case. Plus...
Lis You remind me of Dexter Jackson from the 90's movie, "Livin' Large" when he was trying to get a job on the news and ended up turning into a blue-eyed, blonde man.
haha if he only knew how ugly and stupid he looks white, no matter how much you bleach your skin, put on green contacts, straighten your hair to the white man you're still a ni99a, dummy!! Whats next speech calss cuzz that thick azz Dominican accent is gonna give your azz away no matter what!!! GTFOH!!! Sammy you're a effin joke
lookin like Dave Chappelle as Chuck Taylor
Even though it's very much his body & $$$ but this is just a ridiculous act of self-hatred @ it's finest!....He has the nerve to say that he's only applying some "moisturizing""cleansing" cream b4 he goes to bed every night that just so happens to "lighten" his complexion for some "odd" reason? please! save it! I've yet to see a mositurizing cream that actually strips a humans skin from it's God-given color. On top of that he slaps a relaxer in his hair as well as green/hazel contacts & claims he's proud of what he is..shame!
Frankenface loves the new skin he's in. Really? With color contacts to boot!! Go figure.
I still say the cream is just a camouflage for the truth. It’s a skin whitening pill or more potent IV form of the pill (celebs secret). A cream is not going to lighten Sammy’s scalp without bleaching his hair. He’ll be out marketing a product and making $$$ on a lie because the unknowing population are eager to believe that it's an external cream alone that will do this. Please. I’m no fool. Don’t buy into the cream B.S. It means money for Sammy and he’s selling a lie! Only the secret skin-whitening pil
A "skin cleansing rejuvination process"? Mmmmk, I never knew there was any such thing, not involving bleaching anyway. I have to wonder why and if there wasn't another process that would've produced a less-dramatic change in appearance. He used to be a cutie, now he looks like a wax-figure. I'm not trying to mean, just stating my opinion. It would really be sad and disappointing if the skin-lightening was intentional. Then again maybe it wasn't and it's just something us regular folk no nothing about. Smh either way.
HE'S IN DENIAL, LIKE CHRIS BROWN IN DENIAL ABOUT HIS ANGER ISSUES. I DO SKIN REJUVENATIONS OCCASIONALLY AND ALSO THE WHOLE NATURAL-ORGANIC THING, YOUR SKIN DOES NOT GET LIGHT. SKIN REJUVENATIONS MAY MAKE SOME DARK SPOTS OR HYPERPIGMENTATIONS MARKS LESS NOTICEABLE, BUT NOT LIGHTEN YORU FACE TO THIS EXTREMITY. HE HAS THE LIL KIM SYNDORM. MICHAL HAD A KIN DISEASE, AND THE MEDICATION MADE HIS SKIN LIGHT TO EVEN OUT THE LIGHT SPOTS EH ALREDAY HAD. SELF HATRED...SAD
SMH... This fool didn't know the backlash was coming, neither did Michael.
Maybe he never paid attention to how defensive he would get when people asked about his skin.
He wants to blame his days as an outfielder with the Cubs for the damage to his skin.
Use sunscreen but I bet there's way more sun in his native land.
Wait a minute!!! When was the last time he played for the Cubs. Get the funk outta here.
He would've gotten away with the bullish if he wouldn't have taken that photo op before the nose job... lol
Sammy Sosa has lost his damn mind! He claims to be cleansing himself? Well you shouldn't wanna be so clean when it changes your hair,eyes and skin color. What are we freakin idiots? That statement is a bunch of B.S this man is as soft as a first fallen snow to have lost his identity the way he obviously has,next he'll be dating men.... GET A GRIP SAMMY YOUR SLIP IS HANGING! 4u2.com
Man whatever with that bullshit! Keep it real tell us the truth! Don't lie about the obvious! We kno you bleached your skin, straightend your hair, even lightened your eyes with contacts! But don't sit here and lie! Because your new look alone just told the Dominican Republic, hell even the world that you don't want to be black! That black is bad!
I'm not a racist but it was very quite refreshing seeing a person of color may they be dominican,or puerto rican the top dawg on the cubs @ one point. I'm a sox fan but he was great with that team considering they are mostly supported by white Chicagoans.I've used softeners, exfolliated, and tryed micro derm abrasions and my skin never lightened not 1 bit. I had a reation which was a rash but never 3-4 shades lighter. Damn is all I can say..... Whats going on with these rich people. I wonder how much a bottle cost and how do his kids react?
Before you ppl are so quick to judge and listen to MTO of all sources you should try and do a little research. He said in a interview that he had a alergic reaction to a new skin cream from Europe and one of the side affects was mismatch skin patches. So give him a break. All you ppl know you wish you was secretly lighter.
He was on a spanish show call primer impacto and did a interveiw he said he was using a revjuvanating cream for his skin that he has been using from europe and he looked just like the photo on tv sorry and he even said he was going to markert the cream because he is a bussiness man look up the video he also had color contact so he is bs abourt he aint bleaching his skin he just went more further when he also had the matching eye color why deny your culture your skin
