Ciroc reached out to us a few minutes ago and issued the following statement:

“CIROC Vodka has nothing whatsoever to do with this inappropriate and offensive casting call, which was done without the brand’s knowledge or consent. We are currently investigating how this occurred. CIROC Vodka has created a brand that defines sophisticated celebration for all consumers, and in no way condones this practice.”

We’ll drink to that!!!

    The white man had to step in and correct the dumb statement that the colored boy.. i meant puff.. what man calls himself puff..(lawd) this fool (puff) needs to write a statement about the remarks he made. If he didn’t make them he needs to address the person that made them. Like some one said b4. this dude is black himself (skin color)

    OMG Diddy is just a sad example of not only a black man but a human being.

    Diddys Dark Skinned mother and father should be rolling over in their graves. Its so sterotypical that he is choosing to represent only ligh skinned women because he is forgetting that to create brown skinn you must mix both black and white/yellow,tan together. Brown skinned sisters come from beautiful black people. He needs to stop mis representing his beautiful black sister. We come in shape, color and sizes. The one thing I love a about black people is our diversity of ethnicity within the African culture. This brother needs a history lesson.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Lu5ciou5_Chocolat3/ Lu5ciou5_Chocolat3

    Yeah Diddy does need to say something because he’s looking sad (and stupid) right now.

    yall know good and well these websites and bloggers spread rumors! So the lady who wrote this blog needs her ass cursed or fired for spreading rumors and defaming people!

    He posted a link to photos of him with dark skinned models advertising Ciroc last night on Twitter. Why isn’t this over and done with yet?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Stan_Vinyl/ Stan_Vinyl

    I don’t believe them… they did this and now are attempting to place some no name as the fall guy or gal… Damn shame.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rockwilder1911/ rockwilder1911

    black folks so dumb sometimes check your facts before u throw somebody under the bus. The same thing happens in the justice system guilty just because your poor or black! and in this case believing everything these idiots right and defaming a brother that prolly does more in charity plus the black community than of yall broke asses will ever do! put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Dreadibee/ Dreadibee

    The whole point “sophisticated”, the guy is rich and black is all. Never looked acted or even pretended to be sophisticated in no way. Smart maybe, black definately, comments not surprising. I expect he’ll do himself like lil Foxy did… More chocolate for this chocolate brother’s what I say… I drink Patron’ when I do anyway… LMAO
    Oh well.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Dreadibee/ Dreadibee

    Don’t yal think he’d post a video of chocolate now! Why wouldn’t he stipulate that? Who cares really? He prefers to advertise to the masses that have issues with people of darker skin. We all know we (darker skinned people) tend to not receive the preferential treatment that lighter skinned people do… Keep it real…. It is what it is!!! I think he knew very well what the deal was… Don’t blame the messenger.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/NessyD23/ NessyD23

    I believe that PEOPLE are so quick too judge one another at the first NEGATIVE thing that they here. If DIDDY had such an issue with darker complected women then why was his girlfriend KIM PORTER who they also had two beautiful twin girls a dark complected woman. People need to stop jumping to conclusions and quick to get offensive so fast…..yes, hes always said even himself that he can be arrogant but to him thats just another word for confident…… im not saying being arrogant is right but please he is who he is, just let the man be.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jus-2_chill/ jus-2_chill

    yall totally missed the f**kin point. i told yall this s**t was media induced. they never gave a f**k about skin complexion because they are trying to make money with selling their product. they did that s**t to cause controvrsey between us because they like to see us bicker, argue, and kill each other out of confusion. if they were so sincere about having nothing to do with offending “dark skinned” women, they would have said that. they did not! they admitted that it was inapproriate and offensive, and used that as a spring board to advertise their” definition of sophistacated celebration” for all CONSUMERS. since they claim to have nothing to do with something that was sent out in THEIR name, don’t you think it would be wise for them to APOLOGIZE to the PEOPLE who somebody in their outfit offended? then they really think were stupid and went on to say that “this was done without the brands knowledge or consent.” well of f**king coarse not the brand is the f**king vadka they are trying to sell! the vodka will never have any knowledge and will never consent to anything because it is an alcohlic beverage! yall people better learn how to read between the lines because that is how they write and speak. everything is between the lines with the devil.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jus-2_chill/ jus-2_chill

    then they put their seal on it. WE’LL DRINK TO THAT!” they dont give a f**k about hurting dark skinned women feelings! they divided us and had us bickering about it, then they came in and claimed to not have anything to do with it, then andvertised a sophistocated CELEBRATION for sale for all consumers. the devil has been doing that s**t since the beginnig of his creation and niggaz still falling for it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/loverGirl-89/ loverGirl-89

    what i will say is as a darker skinned young lady… i was alittle offended. but i was not surprised. i think black woman of all complexions are beautiful. its 2bad that the media and ignorant people are 2 busy keeping up with the mental mentality of slavery to notice the separation the media is tryin 2 put into our homes an communities. where wrapped up with the belief that the lighter woman is more beautiful than the darker woman. whos to say that…. the compextion of the skin shouldnt have nothing to do with beauty. i have seen but ugly light skinned woman. and butt ugly dark skinned woman. but ive also seen beautiful woman in all complexions of the black rainbow. if the media wants 2 continue with this type of advertising all i can say is that i wont support the brand thats all i can do. although i could care less cuz if thats how they feel an they advertising less to black people its for the better any way…. maybe less of us will pick up bad drinking habits…. so yall jus continue basking in the ignorance of sum big corporations foolishness. i know alot of people are gonna still buy this brand of alcohol, saying that this issue has nothing 2 do with them. but if ur black sum where down the line in ur family there was a person that was damn near close 2 midnight black. an if u was ignore that fact thinking ur peoples been light forever so be it. im happy 2 say im a darker complexion…. an if u got a problem wit me u can kick f**king rocks …….. have a blessed day =)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ladymizvee/ ladymizvee

    I clicked before I was done….sorry. What I meant to say was Ciroc said it had nothing to do with Diddy’s casting call, and condemned what Diddy did….the “We’ll drink to that” at the end was the blogger’s way of saying “good for Ciroc” for taking a stand against it. So Ciroc should not be blamed for this…and as for Diddy, well, I don’t like his casting call decision, but I ain’t gonna trip. Life is too short to waste thinking about a celeb who ain’t gonna give me the time of day anyway.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/WiiFYMaTeRiaL/ WiiFYMaTeRiaL

    People why are we so upset??? Has racism not been going on all our lives??? And did we not over come!! Whom ever wrote that statement is bitter and obviously does not know GOD!! Im rather dark myself but I really dont think this was just to BLACK WOMEN,But to all dark women of any race!! If I had applied for that casting and they made a statement like that I might would be angry and feel that would be discrimination of some sort. But since I didnt apply I will just lift them up in prayer!! Dark Lady’s they do not DEFINE our beauty!!! We not going to change the way we look we are still beautiful like GOD intended for us to be!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sensualseduction1986/ sensualseduction1986

    Shut the f**k up to the people who claims that we need to stop making a big deal out of it. Dark skin women have always been at the bottom of the f**king barrel. Light skin men had there shot, dark skin men are popping right now, and light skin women have always been popping. When are dark skin women going to get there shot? NEVER!! MOST Black men are too caught up with image to care, light skin women are token chicks. How is a dark skin man going to tell us we making a big deal out of nothing, you all don’t go through the s**t we have to go through. Personally i do not think that complexion makes you beautiful, in fact alot of those video hoes are not pretty at all in the face, but their complexion makes them stand out. People are so memorize by complexion that they don’t even care about the face no more. I don’t see why thats a preference anyways, its stupid. I never saw someone and was more attracted to them because they were lighter or darker. I’m not a dumbass who would pass up someone who looks better then the next person just because they are darker or lighter.

    Told yall yesturday that P. is the culprit , u cant escape the fact that it targeted everybody from the middle color ova to daylight ,only cuz he has a fetish , its cool ,but im like dont front fool ass clown, I kno dudes who like white or light skined girls only, some dudes are shook of them , yea i said that sh$t !! Yall cant take full court pressure, its cool cuz we kno how sistahs get ,but dont tell me bullshyt reasons like trauma ,ghetto, loud, or rude or whateva u claim u have that makes u see the other side, but try not to be 1 tracked minded! Sterotypes we grew up with got us thinkin like that , this is black planet, dont yall kno this goes bck to the ‘Willie Lynch era’??? Slaves that were RAPED gave birth to mixed racial baby, kinda like damn near everybody black child now from the western hemisphere, even in the carribeann , mountain folk (whom are lighter, righer and well off) vs. the rest of the pop (Whom are darker) ,it always been a sterotype about light n dark , whom is the best, sub conciously we want to be successful and not blame ourselves by hangin around ur peers ,so some of us flee not just the area ,but the culture , then pretend like u never was apart of any group until the time is right, the only problem is that too many ppl tryin to be and live like the very crooks for our communties and culture, bet the few of them wouldn’t even tell them about there history and rewrite anew , JUST LIKE MASTER OF WHATEVA HE DOES! PUFF! I mean immeadiately after u come to fame, football , basketball .models and rappers , shyt even blk women whom become successful do it, I thing it boils down to the very reason why were all here in this manner …. FEAR of goin bck to the “past ” GOD 4 bid!! where ur history begins, b uff dont care and it shouldn’t matter,but ONLY when somethin like this happens!!!!!!! F the casting call , they biased and cuz u like a certain thing doesn’t mean u gotta shyt on other for it , F that soft ass drink anywayz!!

    I doubt this is what Ciroc had in mid Why take the risk and have it all come down around your ears? The risk being that the demographic decides Ciro is uncool and stop buying the product. It doesn’t make sense that Ciroc would be behind something like that. They’re out to make money. I think this is the act of one individual. Who it is remains to be seen.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/know_me1st/ know_me1st

    I personally think the comment was made to keep the peace. How can you say with a straight face you and the company had nothing to do with this. I smell BULLSHYT and Puff Diddy Combs is in the front line as well as the end of the line.. You know how they do retract a statement or I’ll get to the bottom of this.. That is what I call the Blame Game.. Take responsibility for your actions.. It’s bad dealing with life of racial standards with whites, but of your own Race is uncalled for..

    C’mon yall we need to rid ourselves of this yessah massah mentality. Oh sure that’s all we see on the videos is “Lightskinned” women, but they do this for a reason. I mean have you really asked yourself why is that all we see on these videos are “lightskinned women”. When we as black people know that all shades of black is beautiful. Sure everyone might have their own preference but don’t ever demean another just because they’re a different shade. BLACK IS BLACK people…

To my dark-skinned lovelies who might get offended by this ignorant aSS fool; Please don’t pay attention to his dumb a$$ because obviously he’s a nicca with no business who spends all his time trolling for a$$ on the internet cause ain’t shyt happening at the crib!! If you feel offended just for a sec, please take the time to go to this fool’s profile and take the time to view his page and you won’t be offended too much longer. Because, his opinion doesn’t mean shyt and when you see how dusty, trifling, & desperate this fool looks you’ll understand why he has sooo much time on his hands. So, we’ll just all pray that someone’s gives his dingy a$$ some a$$ sooner or later then he’ll have something to do with all his free time. Loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/smack_u_silly/ smack_u_silly

    first, did he ASK for ‘light skinned women’?

    if he did…so fuggin what? if he PREFERS lighter skinned black women, what’s the big deal? its HIS PREFERENCES.

    i’m suspect of that ciroc letter…i’ve written advertisers, and almost always they leave casting up to their ad agencies, who in turn leave it up to their creative folks or an outside casting firm.

    i doubt very seriously ciroc would have said that the casting was ‘offensive’. why not give us the name of the contact person at ciroc, their title and email address?

    back to skin color…hell, many black men prefer light. this is no better or worse than a man saying he ‘prefer dark’.

    get the hell over it.

Lastly to Diddy it’s like the pot calling the kettle black…Think about it!!! your childs mother isn’t like. But I’m not the one thats offended and I agree with. Nichollih424.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/It_Iz_What_It_Iz/ It_Iz_What_It_Iz

    The ad discriminated against obese women too in more subtle ways by indicating a specific size as a prerequisite. Of course the out cry wasn’t as loud. My point is someone in life will always feel slighted or be intentially excluded from something. Being “inclusive” these days means being politically correct and stripped down even more it means faking the funk! Why should did have faked the funk to appease the insecurities of a certain shade of black women if that’s how he really feel. I If he likes what he likes then that’s just what it is. It’s the same difference of saying “what you eat don’t make me s**t”. How many times have I come across female’s pages on blackplanet and they have down amongst their preferences in men in some cases being light skin brothas, brown skin brothas or dark skin brothas. What’s the difference. There is none. We all have preferences. Folks are just using Diddy as a a convenient punching bag for an issue that will always garner hypersensitive reactions from people of color. I don’t think is the proper pulpit but carry on.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BornGApeachy/ BornGApeachy

    I never really thought much of Diddy anyway. The black community made him rich. Stop supporting him. Im not dark skinned but I come from a line of dark nubian queens. It is a part of my heritage and I am proud of it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Originoo_Oasis/ Originoo_Oasis

    In representing a product, his personal preferences should not play into whom is cast in the ad. This act is implying that the darkskinned woman appeals to no one(Certainly untrue). If this had been an offensed committed by a caucasion, we’d be ready to boycott the product (still not out of the question). On Tha Real, I think dude is in tha closet anyway. He TOO shiny

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/smack_u_silly/ smack_u_silly

    i love how a lot of black women here say ‘diva’ , ‘nubian queens’ and ‘dark and lovely’.

    that is NO MORE OR LESS ‘stupid’ or ‘keeping it real’ than diddy.

    face it…he seems to prefer lighter women. if you’re not light, you’re not in his preferece. oh fuggin well. it doesnt make him any more ‘stupid’ to prefer light than it does YOU for ‘being proud to be a dark nubian queen’.

    and guess what…it STILL ain’t gonna change HIS PERSONAL PREFERENCE. he’s STILL going to prefer lighter women.

    someone said it shows his preference for non-fat women. it also shows his preference for women with more than a second’s worth of hair. and a preference for relatively tall women.

    get over it…whining ain’t gonna change HIS or ANYONE’S preference.

    I don’t understand why people are upset… I cannot speak for dark skinned women, but I can speak on behalf of full-figured women when I say that no one should get to determine whether you have the right “look”. Your beauty is an extension of your character and at the end of the day if that’s in line then nothing anyone says can make you feel unnattractive.

    And pointing out that Diddy is black is not helping him either. Instead is making the problem worse by suggesting that there’s something wrong with it. When did the way God made you become a problem? Black is beautiful, whether popular culture agrees or not.

    Whoever issued the casting call definitely has some issues that they need to deal with personally, but it’s also very likely that they couldn’t care less. The bottom line is that they want to make money, period. So it’s our responsibilty to let go of other’s unjustified judgement and standards and focus on who we are.

    We are all God’s children, so we are all beautiful. If the person that wrote this, or anybody else, can’t see that, it’s their problem.

    Too late for me. Sean Combs will no longer get my hard earned money! Any time your name is going to be used to showcase a product, you should know who? what? where? when? and why? Mr. Combs did not do his homework. Maybe he will be more careful next time around….

    what’s wrong with having a preference as a man.. I prefer light skinned black woman… Are you going to get mad at me… Black people stop getting emotional very such small issues… Pick up a book, read about the New World Order, and the groups that control America

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mem613w/ mem613w

    I figured it out…diddy’s babies’ mamas are dark skinned and they are taking him for millions of dollars so that’s why he like light skinned women. that’s it…there’s no other explanation.

    it seems that white people love dark skin. the darker the better for them. they love the way we look more than we do. it is us that have a problem with ourselves, it is we black folk that think lighter is better, more classy, and more sophisticated and the circon marketers are just using that fact to sell a product

    WOW, THIS IS CRAZY! U KNOW, I AGREE THAT ANYONE AND EVERYONE CAN HAVE THEIR OWN PREFERENCE BECAUSE WE ALL DO AND IF U SAY U DONT, UR LYING, PERIOD! BUT WHEN UR DOIN A PROFESSIONAL AD CAMPAIGN THAT IS TARGETED TOWARD ALL AMERICANS, UR PREFERENCES SHOULDNT HAVE ANY PART IN THAT CAMPAIGN. ALL AMERICANS R NOT WHITE, HISPANIC, OR LIGHT SKINNED. NOW I DONT KNOW IF DIDDY FORGOT THAT THIS AINT HIS NORMAL MUSIC VIDEO SHOOT OR WHAT, BUT I KNOW THAT HIS PREFERENCE SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS CAMPAIGN AND THAT IS WHY ME, MYSELF EVEN DECIDED TA COMMENT. I AM A DARK SKINNED YOUNG LADY AND WHEN I SAW THE PHRASE “DARK SKINNED NEED NOT APPLY” MY EYEBROWS DID RAISE, BUT I AINT GONE LET NOBODY, AND I MEAN NOBODY DETERMINE IF IM BEAUTIFUL OR NOT. PLUS, I HARDLY RESPECT DIDDY ANYWAY BECAUSE I DONT REALLY LIKE HIS PERSONALITY AND IF HE WAS JUST ANOTHER NICCA FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WE PROBABLY WOULDNT GET ALONG ANYWAY . HONESTLY, IM NOT OFFENDED BECAUSE I KNOW WHO I AM AND WUT IM ABOUT. I FEEL THAT HE CAN HAVE HIS PREFERENCE, WHICH IS TOTALLY OKAY WIT ME CUZ I WOULDNT F**K WIT DIDDY LIKE THAT ANYWAY, BUT HIS PREFERENCE IS NOT THE ONLY ONES WATCHING THE AD OR THE ONLY ONES CONTRIBUTING TO THE SALE OF THE PRODUCT. HE NEEDS TA LEAVE THAT FOR HIS VIDEO SHOOT. POINT BLANK.

    Well I am not surprised that something like this is coming from Puffy. I don’t really care too much for him. Puffy is arogant and has a nasty attitude and wears his pants too little.LOl. Puffy isn’t the best looking man either but he will probably regret what he has said. He might need to ask Wesly Snipes what happens when you piss black women off.

    Why are we responding to Puffy’s stupidity? If Ciroc has any sense, they’ll drop him from their endorsement. Chiick, even though you may be light skinned or dark skinned and ashamed (i don’t understand why that would be) and some people may think that lighter is better (thanks to post slavery days, remember the brown paper bag), your personality will show your ulginess right through and that’s why many men are coming back to the darker women because we’re not stuck in the ass like you. Do me a favor, build a bridge and let that b***h collapse on you, you ignorant fool! Everyone, let’s not give idiots like puff and chiick any of our attention because that’s what they’re seeking.
    P.S: Chiick, i’m a dark skinned female who’s proud of my skin color and won’t get swayed by the media or anyone else to feel any different, look at my page for proof. Believe Dat!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/misssavannah911/ misssavannah911

    You all have to remember that Diddy and people like him are brainwashed by white society, when they think that lighter is better (comes from slavery and past down from generation to generation). Also, Diddy is not cute, therefore, he needs his ego stroked very often and some white women have the ability to do just that. Also, those women see a jackpot sitting in front of them so this is why they go along with it and they are dumb. Again, Diddy is not cute and he seems to have a terrible personality; WHICH MAKES THINGS WORST. I’m currently taking a graduate course on diversity and I know all about how Diddy feels and it’s sad! It is up to us to educate all people on what beauty really is because it’s really on the inside. There are a lot of pretty ugly light-skinned women that rest on pretty and have nothing to bring to the table but looks. Just feel sorry for them and move on!!! This is coming from an educated caramel complexion woman.

Diddy is a dumb ass for letting sumbody gas his head up with this bull*%&#. He should be honored that chicks even wanna hang around his ass. THINK ABOUT IT…. TAKE AWAY ALL THAT MONEY AND FAME…. WHAT U GOT A MUTHAF**KIN LAME. Diddy needs a wake up call f 4 real. When its all said and done U A DARKSKINNED NIGGA, dumbass!

He ws ready to marry JLo s**tey ass but not the mother of his kids get real he needs to get over hiself and come back down to earth. Diddy you ae not hte s**t hell you not even cute.

    As a people we should be ashamed. You know, we ignore this but it happens everyday and as black people we have always seen white and lighter as better and more attractive. This is how we think! We have a black president now and we still hate ourselves! Wake up people. Puff didn’t put out this add because he hates dark-skinned people. But he does know that we will more likely be attracted to light skinned and white! This is our history! So how do we make Puff change? We have to change out thinking! Peace out!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blaqueisback/ blaqueisback

    Who he should be ashamed of is his mother…and maybe thats why he is so shallow when speaking of a dark skin woman…His mama wears blue contacts and blond hair….LMAO…i don’t give a damn if she is paid are not and so what diddy is her son with his extra black ass but she be looking a HOT S**TTY MESS…Maybe Mr.Combs can hook his mama up with Michael Jackson people and get her skin bleached to go with the rest of that mess..last but not least his kids arent so bright. He might want to check that negative energy…Phewwwwww..my bad but i had to sound off.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/trying2getthere/ trying2getthere

    yeah its a shame that some people still judge by the color of the skin, black is beautiful and we are always told to embrace our color. he needs to really get over himself because if it wasn’t for the money he has he wouldn’t be able to get the beautiful women he has already been with. so ladies let him judge, love yourselves anyway no matter what color or size you are. it will only help fuel his ignorant ways by letting him get to you. he’s only hurting himself financially with his thouhgts.

    Ingorne this no longer. It’s time to take a stand. I’m so tired of our people putting us down. Who was it that kill Malcom X? A black man. As black as P. Diddy’s cross eyed ass. He can’t make money if we are still buyin his s**t. His last good income came from Biggie and that ‘s a shame that he died. I do believe Biggie would have shot his ass for this statement. This clearly shows that this statement comes from a man who has forgotten his purpose and Why God has blessed him the way he did. You don’t here this ll cool j or Jay z. This man has little impact in his kids life. Nip it in the bud.

    Ya’ll a trip. Ya’ll don’t get this upset when VH-1, MTV, B.E.T and various other motion picture companies in America continue to produce racist and stereotypical images of black people. Give me a damn break with all this pointless anger. And 50 Cent said it best that it’s easy to attack one man than it is to attack a corporation. And as much as some of you like to talk sh*t about P-Shi**ty and his penchant for light skinned females. Some of you in these forums are probably guilty of having sexual relations with someone light skinned or someone from another race. So spare me the pro-black bullsh*t cause there’s nothing worse than a hypocrite who know they’re a hypocrite. And don’t front cause a lot of you black chicks if you had the chance to f**k Brad Pitt or some other rich and famous white dude you’d practically break your neck at the chance. Especially if he’s going to be paying all your bills. And a lot of you fake dudes fronting like you’re Malcolm X are the same lame ni**gas in the clubs on the weekends sweating them skanky white chicks and buying em drinks. That sh*t is so funny to me how weak minded people can’t think for themselves and they’re quick to jump on the bandwagon and follow what everyone else is saying even if they know deep down it’s not what they really believe. Do you! Stand on your own two feet! And stop being a follower! And worrying about what the next man is doing!

I AM A DARK SKINNED BLACK WOMAN,and I wear my beautiful skin with pride, and i walk with my head high,because no one will ever make me feel ashamed,for carrying the gene of my forth father who was bound in chain,and carry across the shore to this land, that would find my skin offensive, because it too dark, not light enough. something that was embedded in our head and program over and over again, to make us start being that my beautiful dark skin is not beautiful, and SOME believe the lie. As black people we are a rainbow of many shade of brown from a soft brown , like warm honey with a kiss of sunshine to a dark chocolate so sweet like warm brown sugar.Again when will this programing end??
