Kyla Pratt Controversies

Kyla Pratt is an American actress who has been in showbiz since the late 1990s. Despite her success, she has had some issues over the years, like accusations of colorism and feeling sensitive about how fans see her.  

Colorism Accusations

In "The Proud Family," the Disney Channel show where Kyla Pratt voiced Penny Proud, some people criticized it for promoting stereotypes and colorism. They pointed to Dijonay Jones, the only dark-skinned character in Penny's group of friends, as an example. 

They said the show portrayed her as having a "bad attitude" and being "aggressive" and "impulsive," which are negative stereotypes often associated with Black women.  

Karen Malina White, who voiced Dijonay, understood these concerns and encouraged viewers to think differently about what's considered "pretty." She explained that Dijonay is a confident girl who loves herself, speaks her mind, and stays true to who she is.  

Feeling "Triggered" by Fans

In an interview with Jemele Hill, Kyla Pratt admitted that she used to get upset when fans only remembered her as a child actress. They would say, "Oh, you used to be an actress. What are you doing now?" It bothered her because she had recently been on a TV show, but it seemed like people didn't know.  

Eventually, Pratt realized it wasn't the fans' fault and decided to reflect on why it bothered her so much. She wanted to understand what was causing her emotional reaction and work on it.
