Coco Jones<\/a> kept her composure during a New York City photoshoot while a rude passerby tried to push her buttons.<\/p>\n

In a vlog posted on Tuesday (Oct 21.), the Grammy-winning vocalist recapped her time during New York Fashion Week<\/a>, with one scene showing her posing for the camera outside a city bus. Around the 6-minute mark of the video below, Jones overheard a woman shouting \u201cEw!\u201d at her before thanking them and continuing her photoshoot.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou look so freaking Black! Blackie!\u201d the stranger yells, which Jones ignores.<\/p>\n

After two more snaps, Jones walks away, to which the woman again yells something, this time something inaudible. Rather than insult the stranger in return, Jones blew her a kiss before moving on.<\/p>\n

The entertainer, who will soon lead a Bel-Air spinoff <\/a>and reprise her role as Hillary Banks, has spoken about colorism in the past, noting her struggles as a child star. In the early 2010s, the 28-year-old was dropped from Disney\u2019s Hollywood Records after releasing one EP and starring in network shows and films like Good Luck, Charlie and Let It Shine.<\/p>\n

“I definitely used to have my issues with colorism and it wasn’t something that I kind of chose it was kind of what was taught to me, like, ‘Okay, I guess these type of girls are better. They get more jobs,'” Jones said on a 2025 episode of Sway In the Morning.<\/p>\n

She continued, “I’m just not going to let the world make me feel like I’m a lesser version of a quality girl, of beauty, of all of these things.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coco Jones kept her composure during a New York City photoshoot while a rude passerby tried to push…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":378847,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9,24,55,54,56],"class_list":["post-378846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378846\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378847"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
