Joey Mead Philippine Flag scandal
Joey Mead stirred some controversy just in time for the nationalistic month of June what with the celebration of the Philippine Independence Day, June 12. She posed in the cover of Rouge magazine with only body paint to cover her bod (See pics below). This “technique” is nothing new, several starlets have done this already. What caused the scandal is the body paint design. Joey Mead is body painted with the design being the Philippine flag. This caused an uproar with some sector calling it abominable and against the law. Joey Mead is Australian-Filipina, her mother being from the Philippines. She used to be a VJ for Hongkong-based music channel, Channel V. She recently came back to the Philippines to host the Mega Fashion Awards with Tim Yap, after moving to San Francisco, CA with her Korean boyfriend, Richard Lee.
