The part about Alba's genetic breakdown appears to be simply incorrect
I'm challenging this edit on 4 January 2015 by User:Anen87. The part of Alba's Finding Your Roots 2014 episode where she was presented with her genetic breakdown is widely available on YouTube and it is drastically different than what was added in that edit on 4 January 2015. For example, she is 33.5% British and Irish and 20.8% Native American, not 22.5% East Asian/Native American. The test found that only about 1.2% of Alba's DNA is "Broadly Native American and East Asian". Any objections before I pull what appears to be flatly incorrect information?

1996 kidnapping
I swear this used to be in the article, but I don't see it in some older versions I checked. Anyway, seemed like an important incident to overlook. 178.67.196.87 (talk) 09:54, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Because it never happened; it was made up wholesale by some fetishist on the internet and somehow gained legs. 149.168.204.10 (talk) 17:45, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- just replying to this as i've seen this info circulating around instagram and want to leave an answer for anyone else wondering; she definitely was not kidnapped. she gave an interview to Chris Connolly in 2005 for Complex where he asked her about it and she said "no."

Semi-protected edit request on 29 January 2025
Script error: No such module "protected edit request". Under the Personal Life section: "Alba was raised a Catholic[132] throughout her teenage years,[133] but left the Church because she felt she was being judged for her appearance, explaining, "Older men would hit on me, and my youth pastor said it was because I was wearing provocative clothing, when I wasn't. It just made me feel like if I was in any way desirable to the opposite sex that it was my fault and it made me ashamed of my body and being a woman."[134]"
The sources provided (133, and 134) provide context that this quote was about her experience in the born again Christian Church she joined after leaving the Catholic Church, not the Catholic Church. Below is the provided context from the linked sources.
From 133:
“I would go to the beach,” says Alba, “and my born-again friends would be like, ‘Your jeans are too tight! You’re tempting me!’ ” In church, her youth pastor forced Alba to wrap a sweater around her swelling posterior to hide her sin as he read from the Bible; soon the only stories she could relate to were those of Bathsheba and Jezebel.
From 134:
"After four years as a born-again Christian, Alba backed away from religion because "older men would hit on me and my youth pastor said it was because I was wearing provocative clothing, when I wasn't. It just made me feel like if I was in any way desirable to the opposite sex, that it was my fault, and it made me ashamed of my body and of being a woman."
I would suggest that this section is changed to "Alba was raised a Catholic throughout her teenage years but left the Catholic Church due to feeling unaccepted because of her multi-ethnic appearance. After a four-year stint as a born-again Christian, she backed away from religion because she felt she was being judged for her appearance, explaining, "Older men would hit on me, and my youth pastor said it was because I was wearing provocative clothing, when I wasn't. It just made me feel like if I was in any way desirable to the opposite sex that it was my fault and it made me ashamed of my body and being a woman."[134]"
