Anjelikaw Washington Speaks Out About 2017 Paint-Down Incident – Posts Shocking Photo
David Robb Labor EditorAnjelikaw Washington, who stars on the CW’s Stargirl, is opening up about a paint-down incident on another show three years ago – and how she spoke up when a white stunt woman in dark makeup and a black wig was hired to double for her.“Flashback to 2017,” she posted on Instagram. “My 4th job as an actor, my first recurring guest star, and my first time having a stunt double – and they painted her black.” Washington didn’t identify the show, and says that her black-faced stunt double was never used on the show because she’d “kicked ass” in her own action scenes.Once commonplace in the industry, paint-downs are rare today.
