Willow Smith, 13, sparked backlash after a photo surfaced of the teen in bed with an older man. On Tuesday, May 6 a black and white picture popped up on the Internet that showed Smith lying on a bed with 20-year-old Moises Arias sitting up, sans shirt, behind her.
Arias is best known for his role as Rico on Disney's "Hannah Montana." According to TMZ, the actor posted the photo to his Instagram account but deleted after he started receiving negative comments. The site claims the picture was taken by a friend and was part of a larger group of images that also featured Jaden Smith and Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
It's not clear if the image was for an impromptu photo shoot but it has sparked major backlash.
"Willow smith needs new parents, lol," @Love_SuSu tweeted.
"That picture of Willow Smith and Moises Arias creeps me out," @TheKenyLane commented.
"That willow smith pic is not poppin! That's weird and creepy..." @TheHyphenate posted.
"Willow Smith lying in bed with a shirtless hasbeen from Hannah Montana? Now that's funny. Signs of bad parenting, but funny," @Kabblestone wrote.
The young teen was also criticized last summer after she released a music video for her single "Summer Fling." Many people felt the song's lyrics and the accompanying video was "too mature" for Smith, then 12.
"Don't really care what we do tonight. Good night kisses if the mood is right laying by the beach with you wishing this will never end. Thank you for the summer fling. It was nice," Smith sings on the song.
While some people were upset over the lyrics, others felt the video was even more inappropriate than the song. Smith, who used the name Melodic Chaotic in the song, is seen sporting blonde hair, a crop top and cut-off denim shorts.
Apparently, many people felt the singer's "boyfriend" in the video looked much older than her.
