Tori Spelling has sparked a ton of outrage after posting a photo of her 8-year-old daughter, Hattie, dressed as "McQuisha," a character many found to be a stereotypical mockery of "ghetto" black women. Like many folks around the world, Tori and her family are practicing social distancing to prevent the further spread of coronavirus, and it looks like she's found some pretty questionable activities for her kids to do to kill time in quarantine. In a since-deleted Instagram story, the actress shared a photo of Hattie wearing a bandana on her head with Cheetos tied around her fingers—meant to emulate fake nails—and explained the character Hattie was pretending to be.
"Days kept inside we have to get creative," Tori wrote in the caption. "Hattie has become McQuisha in her cheeto extension nails." Yikes. The story garnered a ton of backlash, with many calling Tori out for dressing her daughter up as an offensive caricature of "ghetto" black women and encouraging racist stereotypes.
Tori has since apologized for the post, insisting that she didn't intend to do any harm.
"I posted a story the other day that upset many of you," she wrote on her Instagram story. "I'm truly sorry. That was NOT the intention at ALL. Hattie is 8. We watch and adore old reruns of 'Martin.' She loves the character Shanaynay. She made up that name with "Mc" bc her last name is McDermott. She was reenacting the over the top fun and amazing character from 'Martin.' She is innocent and didn't mean anything by it. I should have thought about how it could have been perceived and misconstrued before I posted. I did not. I'm truly sorry." Social isolation is really making everyone lose their sense.

Just six days after losing to Fury in dramatic fashion, Wilder has exercised his rematch clause. Top Rank president Todd duBoef confirmed the news to Yahoo Sports.
No date has been set, bu duBoef says it will take place during the summer.
Wilder’s trainer Mark Breland, who threw in the towel during the seventh round of last weekend’s match, will remain on the fighter’s team.”I understand that my corner and my team has my best interest at heart. Mark Breland is still a part of team Wilder and our team looks forward to preparing for the rematch,” Wilder said in a statement.
Wilder believes that his entrance costume played a major factor in his loss.
“I paid a severe price because my legs were how they were because of my uniform,” Wilder told ESPN, according to Complex. “My uniform was way too heavy. It was 40-plus pounds. We had it on 10 or 15 minutes before we even walked out and then put the helmet on. That was extra weight, then the ring walk, then going up the stairs. It was like a real workout for my legs. When I took it off, I knew immediately that the game had changed.”
Deontay Wilder Already Working On Costume For Tyson Fury Rematch
Deontay Wilder is already back at work for his supposed rematch against WBC Champion Tyson Fury.
Deontay Wilder experienced a crushing defeat at the hands of Tyson Fury last weekend. Wilder was looking to defend his WBC championship although he got TKO’d in just seven rounds. It was a devastating fight that left Wilder bleeding from his ear. After the match, Wilder had fans scratching their heads as he tried to blame his pre-fight costume on his performance.
“I knew I didn’t have the legs because of my uniform. I was only able to put it on [for the first time] the night before, but I didn’t think it was going to be that heavy,” Wilder said. “It weighed 40, 40-some pounds with the helmet and all the batteries. I wanted my tribute to be great for Black History Month. I wanted it to be good and I guess I put that before anything.”

According to TMZ, Wilder is already working on his next costume which will be worn during his rematch with Fury. In fact, Wilder has decided not to fire the company he was working with previously. Instead, designers Cosmo Lombino and Donato Crowley have already been commissioned to make a brand new suit that won’t be so heavy. Clearly, Wilder wants to make a good impression but doesn’t want to sacrifice his abilities in the ring.
After that last fight, it’s going to take a lot more than a flashy costume to defeat Fury in a rematch.
