Owner of Idaho Pizza Shop Apologizes After Posting Ad Featuring Him in Blackface
The owner of a pizza and chicken restaurant in Idaho is apologizing after his homemade Facebook video advertising the weekend specials caused outrage because it featured him in blackface. He was also dressed as a shark.
Brad Breakell, the owner of Pizzalchik in Northwest Boise, told local news station KBOI on Tuesday that he meant for his face, which was painted black for the video, to look like the wide open mouth of his latest creation, a shark character he dubbed Jacklyn Jaws.
