A Twitter user posted this video from a recent airing of Wheel Of Fortune that appeared to feature the images of slaves.
The image was supposedly for the show’s “Southern Charm” week. According to Page Six, a producer for Wheel says that the image will not appear on any future reruns of this particular episode.
According to Page Six:
“The image was taken by producers in 2005 during an on-location shoot at the Oak Alley Plantation in Vacherie, La. A spokesperson for the Oak Alley Plantation said they do not hire people to portray slaves but do employ tour guides of all skin colors who wear period clothing.”
