But whitening is a completely different thing than tanning - tanning comes off and is pretty natural - you know like you catch it anyways while on the sun - while whitening is a decision

I agree, tanning is a lot more natural and done by a lot more people both unintentionally and intentionally. But in the article she's talking about actively choosing to whiten her skin for beauty reasons, and so I'd reason that is the same principle as actively choosing to darken your skin by tanning, albeit a lot less common.

She's a nut job. And the worst kind of attention-seeking celebrity. 

HOWEVER

She's hardly alone in the practice of skin bleaching. This is a much more common practice than a lot of folks will admit. And it's extremely dangerous... skin bleaching creams have been linked to CAUSING vitiligo. It's just way too risky to mess with. 

So, on the one hand, I can appreciate the fact that she's being honest about something that lots of other celebrities are also doing, and not talking about. However, it's also extremely irresponsible. This is not a safe practice and by "defending" it she's putting lots of other people at risk who may follow in her footsteps. 

Not to mention, there is rampant "belief" that "light skin" is more beautiful than "dark skin" (it's been widely discussed; Oprah even had a special all about it last year). This is just feeding into this horribly wrong belief. A truly responsible celebrity would instead use their platform to remind people that skin color has nothing to do with beauty, no matter what shade or tone yours may be.
