‘You Have Mocked Our Religion’: Jordyn Woods’ ‘Triplet’ Photo With Her Mother and Sister Sidetracked by Viewer’s Accusatory Comment

A photo of Jordyn Woods, her mother Elizabeth Woods and sister Jodie Woods left people on social with mouths wide open as the stunning trio looked more like sisters and than a mother with her daughters.

With a beautiful white and gold mosque in Abu Dhabi as the backdrop, most people were caught up taking in the beauty of the Woods family — except for one person.

Taking notice of how Woods and her mother and sister were covered with abayas, one person commented that the photo and attire were blatantly disrespectful.

“Haram and you have mocked our religion in an offensive way …”

In the Quran, “haram” designates forbidden or unlawful acts and behaviors in the Muslim culture.

Jordyn Woods, who usually is not one to respond to comments perceived as negative or accusatory, responded to the comment by saying, “I’m sorry if I offended you but in order to enter the Mosque you have to wear an Abaya..in no world would I try to mock another person nor culture.”

Fans jumped to Woods’ defense.

“Honestly, if you were religious, you would know never to tell another muslim brother or sister that what they are doing is bad.”

“Don’t listen to them you women are beautiful. I am Muslim and I think it was amazing idea for you guys to wear hijaab.”

Others paid no attention to accusation and instead tried to wrap their heads around the beauty of the photo and the uncanny resemblance shared between the three ladies.

“Black definitely don’t crack. You mom looks like an older sister 😂😂”

“Jodie is LITERALLY identical to you 😭😭💜 . It’s uncanny”

When she’s not taking swoon-worthy pics, the 22-year-old is seemingly getting to the money with acting gigs. Last year she joined the cast of ABC’s “Grown-ish” for an episode, and this year she is starring alongside Wesley Johnathan in the thriller “Trigger.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
