Did Willow Smith intentionally spark another photo scandal?
Recently the 14-year-old singer changed her profile photo on Instagram, causing quite the stir as it appears that she is posing topless. Will and Jada’s daughter isn’t actually nude, she’s wear a shirt that depicts a woman’s naked body.
Critics have fired back at the young starlet for choosing such a provocative look. But why aren’t they firing back at her parents? After all, she is under age …
This isn’t the first time, however, that a photo of the “Whip My Hair” recording artist has shocked. Last May, when she was just 13-years-young, Smith posed with shirtless, 20-year-old actor Moises Arias (a close friend of the family) in bed.
Willow’s mom, Jada Pinkett Smith, fired back at the haters for attacking their family after that photo surfaced last year.
“Just don’t pollute something that’s not dirty,” she said in an interview with Net-a-Porter. “It’s really tough. I feel like the connection to the value of women on a bigger scale has decreased tremendously. Even though you look and go, ‘Women have so many opportunities,’ it’s like, ‘Yeah, but at what cost?’
“Are women valued for being women, or are women valued when they have more masculine qualities? Men and women encompass both female and masculine energies, but it seems like when the feminine is present, it’s not respected.”
Smith follows in the steps of other celebs, including Miley Cyrus, Rumer Willis, Scout Willis and Chelsea Handler, all of whom have posted equally racy images in protest of Instagram’s policy of taking down photos of women showing their nipples.
