Controversial Instagram Photo Shows Willow Smith, 13, in Bed With 20-Year-Old Actor

Posted byBy Taylor Gordon | Published on: CommentsComments (3)

Willow Smith is at the center of controversy yet again, after an Instagram photo revealed the 13-year-old lying in bed next to a shirtless 20-year-old.

At first glance, it doesn’t appear that the photo is anything to get riled up about.

Willow is fully clothed and lying on a bed and a friend of hers is sitting in the corner.

While the young man doesn’t have a shirt on, he also isn’t making any contact with actor Will Smith’s daughter.

The controversy started after the identity of the man in the photo was revealed.

Willow’s friend is 20-year-old Moises Arias, an actor best known for his role as Rico on Disney’s Hannah Montana.

The backlash is not new for Willow.

The young starlet has been criticized for not dressing appropriately for her age, and making music that is too edgy for a young teen.

Some commenters on the photo asked why Willow was being allowed to hang out with a shirtless 20-year-old in a bedroom in the first place.

Willow Smith admits to not taking lessons, going to school This comment and many others suggested that it is the unorthodox parenting style of her famous parents – Will and Jada Pinkett Smith – that needs to be called into question.

The Smiths have given their children more freedom than most American parents permit, and they have even been nonchalant about Willow’s education.

In a previous interview, Willow admitted that she doesn’t really go to school nor does she have time to do the lessons that her tutor provides.

“I never really get to go to school because I am always on tour or with my father,” she said. “There is a tutor most of the time, but usually I am working so I never get to do the lessons. The worst thing about math is all the kids are ahead of me because they go to school.”

Neither of Willow’s parents have spoken out about the Instagram photo, but the picture has since been deleted from Arias’s profile.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
