Life in the spotlight is tough at any age, but for celeb kids, even youth-fueled mistakes
can prove disastrous.
Here are some reasons why we're worried about these celeb kids.
"I just wanna be confident in my knowledge, in my intelligence."
Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith's biological kids, Jaden and Willow Smith, are wise beyond their
years, at least, according to Jaden and Willow.
Jaden told GQ in 2015,
"Everything for us is a scientific test upon humanity.
And luckily we're put in a position where we can affect large groups of human beings
at one time."
We admit that their social media followings are proof of their influence, but maybe a
pinch of humility could serve them well, too.
Willow stirred the pot at just 13-years-old when she posed for a risque photo of herself
in bed with a 20-year-old, and followed that up by posing in a racy topless than a year
later.
While her mom defended both so-called scandals, according to E! News, there's reason to wonder
how deep that wild-child streak actually runs.
"There are more synapses, nerve connections in your brain, than there are stars in the
galaxy.
MY GOD!"
As for Jaden, he's perhaps most known for his alarmingly bizarre Twitter, which HuffPost
reported famously features his musings on life; like "The Biggest Flex Anyone Will Ever
Have Is Dying."
Hopefully, he wasn't still reeling from Pitchfork's scathing 2017 review of his album SYRE, which
it called quote, "upsetting," "scatterbrained," and "constantly in pursuit of a voice it never
finds."
Maybe he should have just tweeted his lyrics?
Models and sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid are the daughters of The Real Housewives of Beverly
Hills star Yolanda Foster and real estate mogul Mohamed Hadid.
While they've crafted their own Hollywood pedigrees, they haven't escaped the pitfalls
of fame.
"Those are my earrings."
"No, Rodarte sent these to me."
At just 17, in 2014, Bella had a run-in with the law when she allegedly ran a stop sign
and nearly crashed into an L.A. County Sheriff's patrol car.
According to TMZ, she failed a breathalyzer test and was reportedly "driving on a suspended
license."
And according to ET, older sis, Gigi, was accused of using cocaine at an event for Victoria's
Secret, in 2015, which she denied.
Gigi also found herself embroiled in scandal over her 2018 Vogue Italia cover, which critics
called, quote, "blackface."
Gigi apologized, according to the Independent, explaining it as a "bronzing and Photoshop"
mishap.
Fortunately, the sisters seem to have avoided repeat offences.
Here's hoping they can keep on the straight and narrow from here on out.
North, Saint, and Chicago West
Through no fault of their own, North, Saint, and Chicago West had us worrying about them
since before they were born, starting with the time their mom, Kim Kardashian, obsessed
over finding a stroller that would, quote, "match her baby's skin tone," according to
Us Weekly.
"I think being a mom has definitely influenced my business decisions."
Sure there are the concerns about being raised in front of the cameras, but there are more
serious matters at hand for these kiddos.
Like when Kardashian thought it was no big deal to post a topless photo of herself, that
North took, which, according to Allure, wasn't a win with fans.
Then there's their dad.
According to Blast, not only was he reportedly wrapped up in a gang beef in 2018 that resulted
in death threats against him, but his divisive politics may also put his family at risk.
"How does it feel to be in the Oval Office?"
"Oh.
It is good energy in this."
An insider told Heat Magazine in 2018,
"Kim is worried some sick weirdo could seek revenge on Kanye and try to punish him by
attacking his family.
She's blasted him for putting their children in danger."
Miley Cyrus' little sister, Noah Cyrus, started her teen years off with a dangerous bang.
In 2015, she allegedly rear-ended another vehicle while texting and driving, according
to TMZ.
And two years before that, Noah was spotted driving her father's car at the unlicensed
age of 13, with dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, in the passenger seat.
"If you need a laugh, you call my dad."
When Noah began to follow her older sister's pop star path, the move predictably came with
controversy, such as her collaboration with the late XXXTentacion, who was accused of
domestic abuse, according to Spin.
But it was Noah's relationship with rapper Lil Xan, the tumultuous end of which played
out on Instagram, that really gives cause for concern.
"Look at him, look at his cute little like face and his smile, and he's like the sweetest
ever and treats me like a princess."
According to The Cut, there were cheating accusations, and a wild conspiracy theory
that Noah's record label cooked up the whole thing for PR.
When the social media smoke cleared, Noah told ET that she was glad it all happened,
because it was emotional fuel for her album.
She said,
"I had nothing to talk about until I, like, lived."
As the late Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris Jackson has plenty of pressure on her shoulders.
She has reportedly spent time in treatment facilities for substance abuse and multiple
attempts on her own life, which she revealed to Rolling Stone in 2017.
"Loss and grief no matter what situation it is, it's still grief and it still sucks and
it still really hurts."
In 2018, Paris' family expressed concern for her safety after she posted "disturbing videos"
to social media, according to Page Six.
Paris responded by asking why her family spoke to the media instead of just calling her.
"When was the last time you called me?
If you're worried about me, call me."
But back in 2016, Paris clapped back at pressure from the media and fans, posting on Instagram,
"The expectations for my DAD were f---ing ridiculous.
He didn't owe you anything, yet he was ripped to shreds DAILY.
I will not let that happen to me."
