<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">LisaRaye is <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/lisaraye-defends-fired-radio-host-who-compared-famous-black-womens-skin-tones-to-his-toast-preferences-video/">clearing the air about some comments she made</a> in defense of a New York radio host who was fired after he compared Black women’s skin tones to his toast color preferences.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rob Lederman, who was let go after he made the racist statements, enraged a lot of people including one of the celebrities he name dropped in the segment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I have them to the attractiveness of women that I find to be attractive,” Rob said of his toaster settings. “So I will never go to a Serena Williams level, but I’m very comfortable with…a Halle Berry level. I mean a little bit of mulatto still coming through.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The whole ordeal was a topic of discussion on Fox Soul’s “Cocktails with Queens” after Halle Berry called out Lederman for his “disgusting” remarks.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While the rest of her co-hosts dragged Lederman for filth for disrespecting Black women, LisaRaye caught some heat for suggesting that Lederman said nothing wrong and that he was merely stating his preference.</span></p>

<p>Some fans even calling LisaRaye a colorist for not speaking out against Lederman&#8217;s problematic statement, but when TMZ caught up with her, she decided to defend her own name,</p>
<p>LisaRaye explained that she does not support Lederman but made it clear that she does defend his right to have a preference. She also stated she&#8217;s not a colorist and mentioned that we were living in &#8220;sensitive times.&#8221;</p>
