Jada Pinkett Smith Calls On Media to Stop Bullying Young Stars

ACCORDING TO ESSENCE.COM

Jada Pinkett Smith isn't pleased with the way the media scrutinizes America's young stars.

In a lengthy post on her Facebook page, Pinkett Smith writes that many of today's biggest stars—mainly Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Quvenzhané Wallis—aren't given a fair opportunity to be themselves in the spotlight, even if that comes with making mistakes. "Are these young people not allowed to be young, make mistakes, grow, and eventually transform a million times before our eyes," writes Pinkett Smith. "Are we asking them to defy the laws of nature because of who they are? Why can't we congratulate them for the capacity to work through their challenges on a world stage and still deliver products that keep them on top."
