Tone deaf much?
Recently, Kat Von D‘s beauty brand reposted (and deleted) a picture on Instagram that many fans called “racist” and “disgusting.”

The controversial snap features a bottle of concealer — that can “do all the hard work for you” — in front of a cotton field. Fans immediately noted the completely inappropriate reference to slavery.

People had some strong opinions:
Kat Von D really trying to sell us makeup in the most disgustingly racist way I think I’ve ever seen. Who the fuck takes a photo in front of a cotton field? @KATVONDbeauty this is trash. This is absolutely TRAAAAASH. https://t.co/kYbkQyvqjq

One. Why is Kat Von D still a conversation to be had?
Two. How many people did the cotton field post pass and NOT ONE thought to say hey, this ain’t it?

This isn’t Kat’s first accusation of racism. Back in September 2016, the LA Ink star was criticized for having a non-diverse team of makeup artists at a Dallas event.
