Just six months ago, Sammy Sosa's skin looked the same as it always did. It is a fairly dark skin color and it is the way he has looked since people started getting to know him in Major League Baseball.
But the picture of him taken on a red carpet on November 4 shows a completely different man as Sammy Sosa seemingly has a white skin tone/complexion all of a sudden that many people are wondering about.
But what really caused the whitening of Sammy Sosa's skin? Was the skin color change due to lighting issues or something else?
Pictures of Sammy Sosa's White-Looking Skin Causing a Stir
One of Sosa's friends said according to ESPN that Sosa's white skin color appearance in the pictures was due to lighting issues.
But another recent article on ESPN.com said that Sosa actually admitted to using a skin lightening cream and also that the skin color change is not due to any sort of side effect from steroid use.
Sosa's whiter skin color apparently is something he has trying to achieve through the use of skin lightening cream but it still seems to be a drastic change from six months ago when he was much darker.
Does Sammy Sosa's Whiter Skin Color Really Matter?
Perhaps it's due to memories of Michael Jackson and what some people thought was a psychiatric decline (although prescription pills and their perilous side effects we always hear about on TV had more to do with that than anything else) , but the pictures of Sosa's white skin color seems to have people concerned.
They might say Sosa lost part of his identity when he used the skin cream/lightener on his skin to make himself look "more white."
Sosa was seen in the pictures at the Latino Grammy Awards with his wife by the way but seemed happy to be in public showing off the new look.
It is unfortunate that people in society often feel forced to try to measure up to stereotypical or unfair standards, however, and if Sosa did this to try and fit in then it could be the sign of an unfortunate problem. That's all conjecture, though.
