Once known
as the naïve, innocent, and cute actress; daughter of the infamous Will Smith
and serious business woman Jada Pinkett Smith, the angelic devil has turned
into a sinking ship. Primarily, this was a result of her outlandish music
videos; eccentric haircuts and dyes; and arguably her “coming out of the closet”
at such a young age. Nevertheless, this sort of barbarity has presently become
a trend with celebrities and does not exactly alarm the every-day teen post the
ice-age. She is no longer just a sinking ship after her picture in a bed with a
senior guy…
Titanic is
what Willow Smith has evolved into.
Recently,
the somewhat failure to the Smiths had posted an eyebrow raising snap of
herself in bed with Moises Arias, an actor aged 20. Now, this would have been
tolerable if little Willow was at least three years older than 13! She has
literally put her parents’ reputation on the line, with investigations
attempting to extract a piece of evidence, anything, to make the Smith family
seem less than mediocre. The controversial picture has not only sparked alight
the chain of criticisms to her upbringing, but also to her common sense.
Despite the fact it has not been proved or disproved that Arias and the Devil’s
little helper have been involved in any sexual activity together, Willow should
have had enough IQ to realise that posting an image as such would raise a cause
for concern.
“Life is
not fair”, we’ve all heard it before (unless you’re an antisocial introvert
hiding in a shed somewhere). Seriously, though, this time it is unfair on Will
and Jada. Poor mummy and daddy haven’t done anything to deserve the uncalled
for actions of their daughter. Although I certainly do not have inside access
to their household, and neither does anyone for that matter, it can definitely
be argued that ‘atrocious’ parenting is not something connoted to the Smiths. Yes,
Daddy may be too busy filming his iRobot or whatever big-hit, money magnet of a
blockbuster. That doesn’t mean a thing. Zilch. Jada. Oops, I meant nada.
Jada is miles
away from being like Rapunzel’s mother (even though she has pride like the
Queen of Corona). From what is printed on the news, she is a successful
businesswoman and essentially all her business is promoting her offspring and
ensuring they have a satisfactory career, if not more. Yet, if she is willing
to allow her children to consume her time 24/7, she is bound to care, nurture,
and most prominently love them.
Thirteen.
It is the age of transforming from a cub to lion. One way to look at this case,
is to notice that Willow is just learning how to roar and cope with her fame,
and has not yet quite come to terms with it. Once she has grasped the concepts
of being the daughter to such a role model she will surely accentuate the real
side of her parents’ parenting…
All we can
now do is wait and see.
