Willow Smith sparked widespread concern after she uploaded a selfie of herself crying on Instagram. Fans soon took to social media to criticize her famous parents, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith — who share a complicated dynamic that has often been reported on — for their parenting. In 2019, the singer, who is currently signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, made headlines after she came out as bisexual and identified as polyamorous.
Willow Smith shares crying selfie on Instagram
The “Wait a Minute!” singer recently shared a crying selfie on social media.
“Who ate all the p—,” Willow Smith captioned the photo on her Instagram stories. Fans online reacted to the picture in a variety of ways. Some highlighted and questioned Will and Jada Pinkett Smith’s parenting, blaming it for the 24-year-old musician’s behavior.
“Why are Will Smith’s kids so weird?” a fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Will Smith and Jada have utterly failed as parents,” another fan commented. “Their kids are dumb as hell.” Moreover, one fan suggested that a documentary be made on the Smith family’s life. They wrote, “Ngl, we need a 6-part documentary on this entire family.”
The fan reactions also included discussions about Willow Smith’s sexuality. Previously, she came out as bisexual in a 2019 appearance on Red Table Talk, noting she loved “men and women equally.” Moreover, in a 2021 appearance on the talk show, the “Coping Mechanism” singer shared that she identified as polyamorous. She also noted that “antiquated” monogamy led to infidelity.
Smith explained, “With polyamory, I feel like the main foundation is the freedom to be able to create a relationship style that works for you and not just [to be] stepping into monogamy because that’s what everyone around you says is the right thing to do.”
Willow Smith later addressed the fan reactions in a separate Instagram story. She mocked fans for their concern, calling them “dense.” Smith wrote, “Y’all forgot funny existed!” Further, she compared their concern to “molasses” that was “slow but also sweet though.” (via E! Online)
