Willow Smith Posts Disturbing Gun Image, Worries Internet

I’m sure she gets asked this a lot, but WHERE ARE HER PARENTS?



Willow Smith is 15 years old and posting photos of girls holding guns to their head, according to Fishwrapper.


Not OK, even if the photo is of Claire Danes in Romeo + Juliet.

Teenage angst is the worst, but these days the kids have access to social media, which allows them to show their feelings to the whole entire world YAY!


I miss the good old days where you would write in your journal, tuck it under your mattress and cry in front of a poster of Gavin Rossdale.


And yes, I get that the world sucks right now and nothing is right, but posting a photo like this is kind of upsetting, not to mention a potential red flag.  Is Smith OK?  Is this a cry for help? 


We’re getting ahead of ourselves, of course, but to see this image tagged with “mood” on Instagram is cause for concern.


Smith’s account is very emo.  There’s one photo of an airplane window showing zero visibility outside, which Smith captioned “a window into my mind.”



Earlier this month, Smith and her dad, Will (in this story, the Suicide Squad star is billed as such) attended Chanel’s Haute Couture show.


“It’s not every day that a 15 year-old black girl with dreads gets elected to be the Chanel ambassador,” Smith told the Telegraph of her new appointment, given to her by Chanel’s head designer and creative director, Karl Lagerfeld.


Smith stars in the French house’s Fall/Winter 2016/17 eyewear campaign, and wants to use her position to influence a new trend in beauty.


“I know a lot of girls that look like me feel that they’re not beautiful and feel like they don’t have a place in the media or a place in the world,”


“I want them to know that’s not true, and if you’re confident and you love yourself, then everything you see, your perception, will start to change and you’ll see things differently.


“I want to show those girls that might not think they’re beautiful (that) they are.”


I like this chick.  Still, easy on the gun pics.
