*Skai Jackson recently addressed the unwarranted criticism surrounding her newborn son, Kasai’s complexion.
After welcoming her baby boy in January, the actress was faced with an onslaught of online comments questioning why he appeared “too pale.” Instead of letting the negativity slide, Skai took to Instagram to educate her followers about infant development, MadameNoire reports.
In her post, Skai explained that just because a baby is a few months old doesn’t mean their skin tone is fully developed.
“Just because a baby is a month, two months, even three months… that does not mean the melanin has fully kicked in,” she wrote, adding, “Two, some babies are just light-skinned, which is okay!”
Jackson called the comments “the DUMBEST thing” she’d ever seen. She also noted her decision to stop posting pictures of Kasai due to the harsh commentary.

“I usually don’t care what people say about me,” Skai confessed, “But talking about someone’s child? That’s mean!”
The former Disney star urged people to be more respectful online, saying, “I think y’all need to stop making comments about people’s children because it’s not cool at all, and y’all wouldn’t like if somebody did it to you!”
Skai previously shared a photo of Kasai’s tiny hands in a sweet post on Instagram — see below.
