My attention has been drawn to recent media reports that I am bleaching my skin and the continuous nature of this wicked, unfounded and absolutely unnecessary misinformation have compelled me to once again respond.
These stories are absolutely not true and do not in any way put food on anybody’s table, does not add value to any body’s life and can only be described as mischief.
Truth is that even if I was bleaching, I do not owe anyone any explanation, but I am not bleaching, I have not bleached and I won’t bleach.
I love my skin just the way it is and I do my best to keep it healthy and nice.
If God has remained good to me and continues to make my skin nicer, I do not see how it should be a problem to someone.
In a society that largely frowns on skin bleaching, it would be unfair and very unkind to falsely accuse me of bleaching when I am absolutely innocent of that charge.
As an actress I take different pictures under different shades of light and with different shades of makeup depending on what the picture would be used for.
It is therefore not strange to find different pictures of me looking different. It does not mean I am bleaching and one does not need to be an industry player to know this.
Even in movies, depending on who the director is, there are different lighting angles and brightness levels that can be used to make a character look different and this is no secret. Even a change of weather can have an effect of one’s skin.
I want to use this platform to assure all persons who have expressed worry about these reports that there is no cause for alarm because I am not bleaching, have not bleached and would not bleach.
There are more prudent and beneficial things to focus on and these frequent distractions are of no use.
I should have spent this time focusing on my new movies or memorizing my next script and not responding to false gossips.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Yvonne Nelson

You really have time miss nelson!
ReplyDeleteI think she has a lot of time on her hands to be responding to bleaching accusations.next pls
ReplyDeleteShe's bleaching. Even though she may call it "toning" or "maintaining" her skin. Everyone can see she is bleaching. Who is she fooling?
ReplyDeleteno she's not bleaching and pls mind your business,go take care of your skin
Deleteyvonne has a nice body stature,really nice one
ReplyDeletePeople are stupid. Is this not just ordinary light effect. Women you guys can talk trash tho.
ReplyDeleteOkay we haf hear!!!!
ReplyDeleteshe is not bleaching but only hypoing
ReplyDeleteVery shallow! Like this girl has time sha! This statement is foolish and makes no sense. Why do I think a naija celeb will never reply to stupid allegations like this!
ReplyDeleteMy Lovly Yvonne,u really wasted ur Precious tym to explain urslf...ppl will talk dia rubbish..u shuld know better things to respond to nd not stupid talks...I wonder if na dia body evn if u D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ bleach.. Idle Gossips nd rumour mongers...pls live ur life
ReplyDeleteI knw ur nt bleachn dear, dnt mind critics
ReplyDeleteShe is not bleaching people. Pls take a look at her knuckles and her knees. No matter how much ones colour is being changed by bleaching agents,some parts cannot hide. She might just be toniing. And even if she is bleaching sef,how does it concern anyone na??? Abeg u people should leave the lady alone o! Nawa...
ReplyDeleteI'm so tired of this damn silly FOLKTALE.I do not bleach but I hav had darker knees and knuckes since I wz a child.And so do millions of other Human Beings.Uneven skin tone can be natural. It can also be a result of hyperpigmentation which easily affects africans, even asians.So skin "bleaching" is not the only cause pls. RME
DeleteHian she really has time linda
ReplyDeleteGo girl yvone nelson roll am, while tonto dike z getting high @eddyPayne
ReplyDeleteBleaching or no bleaching. So far what you do makes you happy and beautiful just keep looking good :)
ReplyDeleteeven if she is bleaching, its her choice, i see no reason for anyone to have a problem with that.
ReplyDeleteYvonne, there is a big difference bw a movie and a home video production.You know where u dey for now.
ReplyDeleteShe obviously has plenty spare time, abeg comot make we c road like we care
ReplyDeleteThere's a diff between bleaching and tonning of one's skin. Tonning is to maintain your complexion and that's exactly what she's doing and its nice on her. I don't see anything wrong with that. She's a pretty actress and I can see she tries to maintain not just her complexion but her physique as well which is a very good thing. Most of our actresses don't care about their figure, they just eat anything they like, get fat and start looking old,they should learn from her actually.
ReplyDeleteVery cultured and brief response unlike Tonto Dikeh who will start fighting like a tout.This is a typical example of how a celeb should behave.
ReplyDeleteNa waoh she is not bleaching nw
ReplyDeleteYvonne abi na weavon, U̶̲̥̅̊ get time ooh! All these ten page letter just to explain weda U̶̲̥̅̊ dey bleach or not. Who cares if U̶̲̥̅̊ bleach! Na ya body and U̶̲̥̅̊ owe no one any explanation! U̶̲̥̅̊ no even happy say dem no talk say U̶̲̥̅̊ get HIV.

ReplyDeleteSee speach
ReplyDeleteSee spelling
DeleteOmo see reply over something so trivial! We are in for it the day she is accused of something more serious. When she was accosted for selling fake lv bags why did we not see " so long a letter". Ewu gambia!
ReplyDeleteIts easy to call it trivial when you're not in her shoes. Being constantly probed over ur skin tone can be very Frustrating. Especially since its a sensitive topic in african culture.
Delete"I should have spent this time focusing on my new movies or memorizing my next script and not responding to false gossips."
ReplyDeleteLMAO. She cray.
Whether she bleach or she no bleach, how does it affect the price of fish in the market. Na her body, na she no. E no concern me jor. She get tym to reply to such rumors or truth, whichever one is correct.
ReplyDeleteYvonne should pls stop lying & take several more seats! She's getting lighter by d day. Anyway, it's her skin, her life. She's beautiful! But FYI, we ain't fools!

ReplyDeletebbe u even have time to reply with speech
ReplyDeleteCool reply from her
ReplyDeleteYvonne Nelson all d way...go girl u rock...bleach or no bleach
ReplyDeleteWhy won't she reply, see comments attacking her already. If I can "bleach" my skin to look that good, I WILL! She "chuk" d cream for una mouth? Headache worry somebody, anoda swallow panadol! Madam, carry on jare!
ReplyDeleteI get her anger.wen I wz in skl, I got soo tanned cuz of sun exposure and I'm naturally light skinned.Once I changed my enviroment after grajing my skin tone returned to its natural state and I even got lighter. I faced a lot of harrasment and accusations of bleaching. It wz hurtful and upseting.derz jst so much that cud alter natural skin tone and also make it better. Some people need to calm down with the "bleaching attack". Dark or fair..we all good looking.
ReplyDeleteAll of you guys are hypocritical with double standards. You constatntly accuse people of bleaching but when the person take time out to refute your claims, you ask who it concerns you. You can never please people. You can never win with Nigerians. Linda very soon, they will start accusing you of bleaching too.
ReplyDelete@str8frmdahips..says
ReplyDeleteBleaching has levels this days..so sophisticated...gone are days of black knuckles and ashy knees..the Yvonne I saw@Eko Hotel at the AY show was def much lighter..unless she's tonned down..
She's not alone Rhiana..Bey..Tonto..Rita..Ekanem have all tonned up a shade or two!!
I did not even expect her to reply this, to me its not a rumor, it is absolutely nonsense. when did bleaching become a scandal
ReplyDeleteWho flipping cares what she does with her body. Irritating girl.
ReplyDeleteI use coconut oil all over my body; as well as on my face and everyone keeps telling me I'm getting lighter. Is that bleaching in you guys vocab as well?
ReplyDeleteHisssss! please leave the poor girl alone and face pertinent matters in your individual lives!
Omo men, i find it ironic that many of the people here bash people that bleach meanwhile didnt a recent survey say that Nigerian women are the top bleaching cream users in the world? Even those that will claim they are "toning". All u hypocrites, if u or ur mama, aunties etc dey bleach/tone(all the same) then u really shouldnt be opening ur gaddamn mouf yabbing people about bleaching. And while we're at it, wearing weaves/wigs (esp those that arent ur natural hair texture) bears the same symbolism as bleaching. So if you're gonna knack people for one, pls dont forget the other.
ReplyDeleteMost naija women bleach, even though the ones in denial call it toning, LOL! So y'all really shouldn't saying ish!
ReplyDeleteMost Naija women bleach. Even though the ones in denial call it "toning" LOL! So y'all really shouldn't be chatting ish! U hypocritical lots!
