Meagan Good has changed her look many times throughout her career. But one change she’ll never make is the color of her skin.

The Think Like a Man Too star took to her Instagram page to address rumors that she had been bleaching her skin. “I can’t believe I’m actually going to address this nonsense,” she wrote, adding that she “felt moved to say something for every little brown girl that follows my page.”

“I LOVE my complexion- no matter what side of the spectrum I’m at at any particular time,” she continued. “I love the sun, I’m a Cali gal, but as I’ve gotten older and especially more recently, since I’ve gotten into my 30s, I tend not to be in the sun as much because it ages your skin terribly. Simply put -i’m opting to preserve my skin by protecting it and only making exceptions for vacations.”

The 33-year-old ended by saying she was proud to be “brown or tan, thick or thin, natural hair or weave or dyed purple or green.”

What do you think? Should she have had to address these rumors?
