After Channel 4 tweeted the clip above, things got pretty heated between Dencia and Ava with Ava calling Dencia “intellectually dishonest” and also referring to her as Casper the Ghost. For Dencia, she emphasized the fact that the “dark spot removing” business is her business and that she has the statistics on what people use her products for.
See some of their tweets below.

You seem to know a lot about me. You were raised to be so confident you changed your skin colour. https://t.co/XWpRDnVEXX
