No Doubt Controversy


Victoria’s Secret Angels aren't the only ones raising eyebrows for allegedly “racial” costumes.  
Musical group No Doubt was under fire last week after lead singer Gwen Stefani wore a Native American-themed ensemble in the band’s newest music video, “Looking Hot.”
According to their website, the “multi-racial band” pulled the video and released an apology on Nov. 3rd, just weeks after it’s premier earlier this month.
The band said their intentions with the video “was never to offend, hurt or trivialize Native American people, their culture or their history.”
“Although we consulted with Native American friends and Native American studies experts at the University of California, we realize now that we have offended people,” No Doubt said. 
The band said the issue was “of great concern to us and we are removing the video immediately.”
“We sincerely apologize to the Native American community and anyone else offended by this video. Being hurtful to anyone is simply not who we are,” No Doubt said.
