YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA sunbed-obsessed UK teen has been accused of “blackfishing” — masquerading as a black person — after tanning so much that her skin became dark bronze.
“I just like having a tan,” said Taylor Humphrey, 18, who reportedly spends up to 20 minutes every day in her personal tanning bed, Caters News Agency reported.
The Mendlesham, Suffolk, resident first fell in love with fake baking after hopping into a tanning bed when she turned 18 — the age at which people are legally allowed to use the skin-bronzing accessory across the pond.
“I fell in love with it straight away because I have olive skin and could see great results,” gushed Humphrey, who eventually convinced her parents to buy her a sunbed of her own.
