90 Day Fiance star Miona Bell has fired back at those who have accused her of blackfishing. 

The reality star recently made her debut in season nine of the popular TV series alongside fiance Jibri Bell, 28. 

However, old photos purported to be of Miona began circulating on social media showing her with a much lighter skin tone, leading many to accuse her of blackfishing. 

Blackfishing is when a person changes their appearance, such as hairstyle and skin colour, to present themselves as Black. 

However, the 24-year-old has denied this and addressed her true heritage in an Instagram post. 

‘I’m Serbian! I will represent myself as such! I love my country and my people and I’m born and raised there,’ the make-up artist stated.

‘I don’t only have Serbian genes, based on DNA test [sic] I have both Mexican and Middle Eastern background, but I will always represent myself as Serbian because that’s my culture.
