I’ve seen a picture of Eric, and he’s definitely not dark dark like she is saying. He is of medium complexion…I wouldn’t even call him olive.

Oh my she was joking please lighten up people, she’s a comedian and the show that she was on is nothing but jokes. As a black woman I love my biracial child his skin tone everything, not every biracial child will come out looking how you think they would. My child was whiter than his father when he was born and he has fairer skin now I wanted him to stay how he was but he’s just as cute as he was when he was born. I think that what she was feeling like every new mother and a woman in love,she wanted him to be a lil replica of the love of her life and there is nothing wrong with that. Everyone that has a child has that image of what they picture their child to look like, so stop acting like she said something wrong because I’m sure all the haters that have kids wanted them to look a certain way or to look more like them than their spouses.

I have three children and always wished for them to inherit my husband’s full, luscious lips rather then my pencil thin ones. Who knew the thin lip gene is more prominent then the full one? All three inherited my lips. Oh well… at least they’ll never have to experience sunburnt lips like my husband does at times. I’m glad they inherited my butt chin, though!

She meant it as a joke, she is a funny lady in general. Baby looks just like her, just with the dad’s nose IMO

I’m pretty sure she was joking. I think the baby looks exactly like her, especially in the nose and coloring.

But I understand the context. I mean, I”m a redhead with fair skin-which I love. I wouldn’t want it any other way..but naturally there is that curiosity to what I would look like with darker hair and darker skin. My dad is very dark, and has dark hair and olive skin tone while my mom has the red hair/coloring.

Yogadaisy,

I remember a time when blonde, fair skinned children were the standard of beauty. I’m glad to see that beauty of all shades are equally appreciated. I hope we can all have a sense of humor at some point about all this.

I think she was likely kidding about the skin colour thing. I remember her talking about when she was pregnant, she didn’t like it because she got bigger and she was used to being ‘hot’. She’s always joking around. I think you need to take it with a pinch of salt when celebrities say something like this unless you know they’re being serious in a bad way. I don’t think Dezi looks a whole lot like his mummy, but he is very cute.

Sarita, Love the skin you’re in! White, porcelain-like skin is just as beautiful.

I do think Jamie was joking but there is an underlying message in there…

Sorry! I’m not trying to stir the pot more or anything just pointing out if a darker skinned woman married to a white man said she wished her baby was more white there would be an outrage.

I would love to have a child with beautiful brown skin. I’m so white and I just think a little darker is more beautiful. I’ve been joking for years that I need to find a darker skinned man to have my babies with! Of course I know it doesn’t matter at all, it’s just joking around.

If her husband is “very very very dark” why didn’t he take something after him? Is it possible HE is not the natural father?
