Questions Roll in About Will Smith and Jada Pinkett’s Parenting After Willow Smith Post NSFW and Tear-Stained Instagram Story

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s marriage has been a topic of discussion over the years, as has the behavior of their two children and their unique parenting style. Every so often, someone in the family does something that is just a bit too strange to ignore. Will Smith slapping Chris Rock is one such example. Jaden Smith’s oddly worded social media musings are another. This time, it’s Willow Smith’s turn. The 24-year-old took to social media to post a photo of herself in tears. The post’s vulgar caption raised concerns about the young adult. Willow Smith’s follow-up Instagram post, aggressive and almost nonsensical, has fans now questioning Will Smith and Jada Pinkett’s unconventional parenting.

Willow Smith’s recent Instagram posts have raised concerns

On August 14, Willow Smith took to Instagram to post a photo of herself, with tears running down her cheeks. The caption, scrawled across the story, read “who ate all the p***y?”. The upload caught followers completely off guard, with multiple people questioning whether the singer was okay. Some social media users sounded off about the entire Smith family. One follower noted that someone in the family was “always crying.”

Smith apparently didn’t like the amount of concerned comments she received about the strange upload. In a follow-up story, Smith aggressively brought the camera inches from her face, yelling, “You all forgot funny existed.” She went on to call her followers “slow” and insisted her upload was “funny.” Most people still don’t get the joke.

Smith’s response to the initial concern did little to shore up her image or leave followers feeling better about her well-being. Following the upload, several social media users questioned the parenting choices Smith and Pinkett Smith made to get their children where they are today. Will Smith actually questioned that himself recently.

Will Smith regrets one of his parenting choices

Willow Smith’s strange Instagram uploads have reignited conversations about the way Smith and Pinkett Smith opted to raise their children. For years, people have questioned their unconventional parenting tactics and lack of guidance. Will Smith apparently has been questioning that, too. Back in June, just months before Willow Smith’s latest controversy, Will Smith appeared on Heart Breakfast with Jamie and Amanda and admitted where he thinks he went wrong in raising his kids.

Smith said he and Pinkett Smith practiced “radical honesty” with their children, which he now regrets. Their “radical honesty” policy meant that neither Jaden nor Willow would get in trouble, no matter the behavior, as long as they told the truth. Smith said the practice backfired. Instead of creating an environment of honesty, it created one in which his children did whatever they wanted and simply told their parents about it. Some fans suspect that might be the reason both Willow and Jaden Smith have struggled to understand societal expectations as young adults. Willow’s recent upload and even more recent meltdown are examples of that.
