Did 11-year-old Willow Smith really get her tongue pierced?
Did Willow Smith (who now has no hair to whip) get her tongue pierced at the tender age of 11? Is this another example of Hollywood kids growing up too fast?
Willow got the internet up-in-arms by posting this photo on her Instagram account, but it turns out it’s a false alarm. It’s not a permanent piercing, but a magnet. Gossip Cop has an insider who says it’s “Just a young girl having fun with accessories.”
Some parents probably wouldn’t even let their daughter even wear a tongue magnet at 11, but it does sound like this was all done in good fun.
If she had actually gotten her tongue pierced, her parents Will and Jada Pinkett Smith would have had to authorize it because she’s under 18. No word on if that’s a real labret lip piercing on Willow’s friend.
Next up for Willow is starting as the title role in the new Annie remake.
