Nicolette Van Dam resigns from UNICEF after offensive tweet
Nicolette Van Dam
Amsterdam - UPI
Dutch actress Nicolette Van Dam is in a bit of hot water after posting a badly-Photoshopped image of Colombian soccer players appearing to snort vanishing spray off a soccer field as if it was cocaine.
It seems as though the actress got caught up World Cup fever when she posted the photo to Twitter with the caption "Colombian Wall," playing on Colombia's reputation for being a producer of cocaine.
It also makes a reference to the newly introduced vanishing spray being used during World Cup games.
