Another blackface controversy


The blackface was apparently just part of some dressing up fun

BASKETBALL star Liz Cambage has slammed fellow Opal Alice Kunek for featuring in a photograph with her face painted brown.

Kunek, 25, posted a picture of herself on Instagram on Sunday, dressed up in ripped white clothes, a beanie and painted face alongside her Melbourne Boomers teammate Tess Madgen, who was also in fancy dress.

Cambage, whose father is Nigerian, put national squad unity aside to blast Kunek’s behaviour in a series of tweets.

For her part, Kunek delivered an apology within an hour of Cambage’s missive.

“I am so unbelievably sorry to all my followers who were offended by my previous post. It was never my intention to offend anyone at all. It was an honest mistake,” Kunek posted on Instagram.

Kunek also deleted her initial post, replacing it with a similar picture without the face paint.

These people who do these silly complaints are all paranoids and psycopaths
