Willow Smith is attracting attention, and it’s not all good. The 14-year-old daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith posted a photo of herself wearing a sweater designed to make her look naked, or alternatively, adorned only in body paint. And although she’s actually clothed, the decision to post what’s being termed a topless photo is stirring up controversy, reported Fox News.
Although Willow responded to the freak-out frenzy by deleting her photo, several people have posted it again. And this isn’t the teenager’s first experience in surviving a backlash from a photo.
In 2014, a photo online showed then-13-year-old Willow in bed with a shirtless 20-year-old actor. A controversy resulted, with accusations that it was sexually inappropriate.
Defending her daughter, Jada Pinkett-Smith challenged those accusations, reported the New York Daily News.
“Here’s the deal. There was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation… You guys are projecting your trash onto it. You’re acting like covert pedophiles and that’s not cool.”
Willow’s father also supported his daughter’s photo, contending that she is old enough to make her own decisions.
“[She is] very mature,” said Smith about his teenage daughter.
The controversy comes at the same time that Kendall Jenner’s sexy campaign for Estee Lauder has arrived, reported Us Weekly.
As the Inquisitr reported, Kardashian “momager” and matriarch Kris Jenner has expressed her pride in her daughters’ success. She recently flaunted a photo of Kylie Jenner featured in Cosmopolitan magazine.
In addition, Kendall posed topless for Interview magazine, praising supermodels as her heroes.
“To be honest, this is exactly what I wanted to be. I was always looking up to supermodels. They were, like, my superheroes.”
But it’s not just Kendall and Kylie Jenner who are modeling. Just as with the open doors to the high fashion world provided for members of the Kardashian clan, Willow Smith recently was offered the opportunity to pose for Teen Vogue, reported People magazine.
Willow admitted her love of expensive attire.
“My whole family, we love Cartier,” admitted Smith.
However, she also appreciates the designer delights of Chanel maestro Karl Lagerfeld, as evidenced by her reflections on her favorite shoes that he created.
“They make me feel like a sophisticated Amazon woman,” revealed Willow.
She’s also an aspiring singer, as shown below.
