Missed The Last Dance: Celebrities Who Didn’t Make It To Prom

- By

Paula Patton (and Robin Thicke)

Paula Patton didn’t go to prom because she was dating Robin Thicke and didn’t want anyone to know she was dating a white boy:

“I didn’t want people to know [we were dating]. I didn’t want people to call me a sellout or an Oreo, because I’d gotten that my whole life and it wasn’t the truth”

Robin wasn’t mad though — because he had no idea what was going on. Teenage Paula lied about the reason why they didn’t go:

“She had actually told a couple of people I was black. Then prom night comes, we’d been together a year and a half, and she just lies and says she didn’t want to go instead of saying she didn’t want to take me.”

Robin and Paula are married now and Paula says she regrets the decision:

“That’s the sad part. I missed it because I was afraid. I didn’t choose him because of his color.
