News has gone viral of a Sephora employee in Boston confronting white teenage girls for putting on blackface with products from the store. A TikToker documented the girls walking around with their faces caked in brown makeup, with their mothers seemingly OK with their behavior.
The since-deleted video showed the employee walking up to one of the girls as her mother attempted to take a photo of her in the offensive makeup. Another user, Reyah The Last Dragon, screen-recorded the original footage to re-upload after its removal.
“I walked over here, and you were about to send a picture of that. You want to document this? Go ahead,” expressed the employee. “This is the stuff that ruins jobs, college acceptances, let alone how incredibly offensive this is.”
However, the group seemed unaffected by the callout, with one of the mothers walking away as the Sephora worker continued explaining why it was wrong. The original user who took video of the ordeal repeatedly said how “shameful” the incident was, with the employee apologizing to other patrons for having to witness the offensive act.
