“Lovecraft Country” Extra Alleging Production Darkened Her Skin Color

HBO’s “Lovecraft Country” responded to the claim made by an extra alleging the production darkened her skin color using makeup. According to The Hollywood Reporter, HBO said that it was “very disappointed” to learn of the claim, adding, “This should not have happened, and we are taking steps to ensure this doesn’t occur again in the future.”

This comes after Kelli Amirah who posted a TikTok video last month explaining that her skin was darkened on the show. The reason was in order to play a younger version of a character in a wedding photo that appeared in one episode. The actress noted she heard makeup artists saying she was “a little lighter” then the actress she was playing the younger version of, thus makeup was used on her face and hands to darken her skin.
