The Internet Had a Big Problem With Skai Jackson’s Mother’s Day Photo Shoot, But Did You?

The former Disney Channel child star made some slightly negative waves over the Mother's Day holiday, but was it warranted?

On Sunday, folks all over the United States celebrated Motherโ€™s Day. But thereโ€™s one mother-daughter duo that became the talk of the internet in the days leading up to it: former Disney child star Skai Jackson and her mother Kiya Cole.

You see, the two beauties were recently featured on the cover of the Motherโ€™s Day edition of Deeper Than Hair Magazine styled by Wilfrod Lenov with hair by Annagjid โ€œKeeโ€ Taylor. They sported various denim looks complimented with roses for styling accessories, but it was one shot of the two of them sporting denim while showing off their Calvin Klein bra and underwear sets that got some folks on the internet in a bunch.

While Skaiโ€™s mother sported the bra outright and had only the upper part of the famous underwear brand peaking from the top of her jeans, Skaiโ€™s underwear was on full display albeit adorned with belts (see second slide.) However, folks online werenโ€™t feeling the look and took the comments on the Neighborhood Talkโ€™s Instagram post about them specifically to air out their grievances.

โ€œUmmmm pants PLEASSSSSE Iโ€™m so uncomfortable looking at this child like this. Beautiful faces but please lorrrdt,โ€ wrote one user.

โ€œOmg sheโ€™s a child why is she wearing that in front of her mother,โ€ said another (never mind the fact that her mother is wearing the exact same thing but go off, I guess.)

โ€œI donโ€™t see why she donโ€™t have pants on,โ€ said one user.

โ€œI have a daughter and I never plan to do a photoshoot with her and we in underwear IDK,โ€ said another.

However, despite the negativity, other followers were quick to come to the duoโ€™s defense.

โ€œYโ€™all be trying to keep Disney actors in a box. Skai is grown...,โ€ said one user.

โ€œFor allthose saying she is a child, this is a 22 year old woman who is in a underwear shoot. Plz calm down...ppl LOVE to judge, respectfully plz shut up,โ€wrote another.

โ€œStop acting like these child stars donโ€™t grown up and become adults. If youโ€™re 21 & up, youโ€™re no longer a child. No one cares what you would or wouldnโ€™t do because no one is checking for you. Skai and her mother are both beautiful black women and are snatched. I love it,โ€ said another.

Is this yet another classic case of not letting child stars grown up or did Skai take it too far?
