But according to the Dominican Republic native neither is the case, instead he excused away his paler complexion on the bright television lights and a night cream.

The wife looks like she had a bad boob job. One implant is larger than the other. Sammy looks like a clown. What he did to himself was horrific! If he thinks he looks good, he is sadly mistaken.

I think he has vitiligo. In photos of him when he was darker you can see lighter areas of skin around his hair line of his forehead and under his bottom lip and around his cheek area.
