Enrique Santos "The King of All 'Spanglish' Media," radio jock and TV personality was kicked out of a party for retired baseball slugger Sammy Sosa Saturday night for mocking Sosa’s changing skin tone.
Enrique Santos, morning jock on the Miami-based WRTO-La Kalle-98.3 FM and a Sunday night stalwart on the Spanish TV network Univision, said he was given the bum's rush for having had his face blackened, according to Santos' website.
A publicist who worked Sosa’s 41st birthday party at the Fontainebleau Resort in Miami Beach stopped the Cuba-born Santos on the red carpet and accused him of making fun of Sosa, a native of the Dominican Republic.
Slammin’ Sammy, one of baseball’s most prolific hitters ever, made news over the past few weeks when it became apparent he’d had his face bleached a la Michael Jackson. Sosa has said he’s just undergoing a skin rejuvenation procedure.
So, why couldn’t Santos do the opposite, even for a publicity stunt?
“I explained to (the publicist) that it was a special cream I was using that darkened my face and then I asked her, ‘How many women in here are wearing makeup?” but she wasn’t having it,” Santos told the Miami Herald. “Was I not white enough for Sammy’s party or have the millions gotten to his head . . . I mean skin?”
