Halle Berry calls out 'disgusting' racist comments made by a NY radio host who compared her skin to

toast

Halle Berry called out a New York radio host who compared Black women's skin tones to toast.

On Friday, the "X-Men" actress criticized "Morning Bull" host Rob Lederman, who was fired from Buffalo's 97 Rock for his comments on Wednesday's segment.

"Disgusting. It's ridiculous this type of nonsense is still being broadcasted across airwaves," wrote Berry. "ALL Black women are beautiful and worthy, Rob Lederman."




In a clip shared by ESPN journalist Marcel Louis-Jacques, Lederman was heard telling his co-hosts Rich "Bull" Gaenzler and Chris Klein that he set his toaster's level to the skin color "of the attractiveness of women I would find attractive."
