LisaRaye McCoy has been working hard to promote her new movie “Skinned,” a documentary that sheds light on black women who are bleaching their skin.

The actress sat in the director’s chair for the new project, hoping to help women accept themselves and avoid harming their natural hue in a search for white acceptance.

During her media tour, the actress sat down with Big Tigger to discuss the controversial film, and she called out a Cameroonian pop singer Dencia, who owns a skin care company called Whitencious.

Whitencious…really? What kind of name-brand self hate is that?

McCoy claimed the product causes skin cancer and also makes people look crazy (with dark knuckles and elbows).

Dencia clapped back asking for an immediate retraction of the claims, saying there is no evidence to link her lotion to cancer or discoloration.

TMZ reached out to McCoy’s camp, and they are standing by their statement.

We are glad the 48-year-old is sticking to her guns, but she better get some receipts before she lands in court.
