Justin Trudeau Wore Brownface to Arabian Nights Party, Photo Reveals
The Canadian prime minister addressed the incident during a press conference on Wednesday, just hours after a photograph obtained by TIME was released, showing Trudeau with dark paint on his face, neck and hands as he wore a white robe and turban.
“I attended an end-of-year gala where the theme was Arabian Nights. I dressed up in an Aladdin costume and put makeup on,” he said, according to The Washington Post. “I shouldn’t have done that. I should have known better, but I didn’t, and I’m really sorry.” TIME reported that it initially obtained a copy of the yearbook, titled The View, earlier this month from Michael Adamson — a businessman who also had connections to the West Point Grey Academy in Vancouver.
“It was a photo taken while he was teaching in Vancouver, at the school’s annual dinner, which had a costume theme of ‘Arabian Nights.’ He attended with friends and colleagues dressed as a character from Aladdin,” Astravas told TIME.
