Naya Rivera says 'white people shower more than ethnics'

NEW YORK, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Naya Rivera shared her controversial theory about races' different showering patterns while co-hosting The View on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old Glee star sat on the roundtable with panelists Rosie O'Donnell, Nicolle Wallace and the others as she revealed she has "a theory about showering, [which] is that I think that white people shower a lot more than ethnics."

"I feel like showering more than once a day or every day is such a white people thing," she said, later adding that she grew up with a half-black, half-Puerto Rican mother who "showers everyday." However, her new husband Ryan Dorsey, "a white man...showers a lot"

"Like, a lot -- two, three times a day. I'm like, 'What are you doing?'" she said.

As the rest of her co-hosts watching her in shock, Rivera shared some scientific facts about her theory on showers.

"A dermatologist says you are only supposed to shower once or twice every three days, so I'm right on the mark," she admitted.

When viewers took to social media to share their thoughts on Rivera's theory, the actress responded to the criticism with a tweet of her own.
