Can't make this shit up, sounds like a rejected MadTV premise.

To protect the identity of a teen sex trafficking victim, a French TV show put her in blackface and an afro-style wig.
The weekly show, Sept à huit (Seven to Eight), aired an interview on Sunday featuring 17-year-old "Nina," according to the Daily Mail.
The show's host, Harry Roselmack, who is Black, defended the show's reasoning to put dark "makeup" on the victim, leading her to appear Black. He said the decision was based on research and a "test" with his team as well as experts. He added that Nina and her parents were also on board.
"Without going into details that could help identify Nina, this choice was the most visually efficient," he said, according to theGrio. "It has happened that we approved, in a similar context, the opposite makeup: lightening the skin of a Black woman to allow her to testify."
