After facing backlash over her recently uploaded crying photo on Instagram, which also featured a contentious caption, Willow Smith has come out to respond to her critics with yet another social media post. In a recent update, the up-and-coming singer gave a strongly worded reply to the people who had called her out on her controversial post of late.
Here’s how Willow Smith reacted to backlash over viral photo
On August 15, Friday, the “pain for fun” singer took to her Instagram stories to share a short clip of herself, calling everyone who reacted negatively to her crying photo “slow.”
“Y’all n—– so dense, y’all forgot funny existed,” Willow Smith said. She added, “Y’all n—– like molasses–slow. Also sweet, though. Be sweet, too, yeah. But it was funny, shit!”
Smith’s response comes after several internet users shared their displeasure over the crying photo she posted on August 13 on Instagram. The said image featured a close-up of the 24-year-old’s teary face, along with the caption, “Who ate all the p—-?” Since then, she has garnered immense backlash from the general public, with many even pointing fingers at her parents, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, as well as the dynamics of her family.
Notably, the Oscar-winning actor had recently shared his regrets over introducing the concept of radical honesty to his children. During his last appearance on the UK radio show Heart Breakfast with Jamie and Amanda, he noted, “We made a very, very, very terrible mistake with our children and we went with radical honesty.”
Will Smith then added, “The deal was if you tell the truth, you won’t get in trouble. The only way you can get in trouble in this house is if we find out you did something and you don’t tell the truth. It’s a mistake, it’s terrible, because they do whatever they want and then just come tell you.”
