Jada Pinkett-Smith and son Jaden slam ‘disgusting’ YouTuber Shane Dawson for ‘sexualizing’ 11-year-old Willow Smith
JADA Pinkett-Smith and her son Jaden Smith are furious with YouTuber Shane Dawson for “sexualizing” Willow Smith when she was just 11-years-old.
A clip of the 31-year-old internet star has resurfaced where he seemingly pretends to be inappropriately touching himself in front of a poster of Willow when she was still a pre-teen.
The video appears to have been originally posted around 2011, after the singer released her first song, Whip My Hair – which would have made Shane around 22-years-old at the time.
After fans blasted the social media sensation, he posted a lengthy 20-minute YouTube video on Friday responding to a series of recent allegations – which also include claims of “blackface.”
Though he does not mention Willow – who is now 19-years-old – he brought up the content he has made with or about minors.
“I swear on my life, I am not somebody who would ever talk about a child, like in seriousness.
“I would never talk about a child in any way that is inappropriate,” he said in the video he titled “Taking Accountability.”
Shane continued: “That is disgusting, that is gross, it is not something I would ever do.
“It is something I did for shock value or because I thought it was funny or, like ‘Oh my god, my child molester character,’ or whatever.
“It’s all gross and I promise that is not real, that is not me,” he assured.
However, the situation infuriated family matriarch, Jada, 48, who took to Twitter Saturday night to address the video with her daughter.
“To Shane Dawson … I’m done with the excuses,” the Girl’s Trip actress wrote.
Jaden, 21, was outraged with the vlogger and fired off a series of tweets.
First, the Karate Kid star sent out a line of angry cursing emoji’s before he exclaimed he was “SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS!”
The actor and rapper then went off: “SHANE DAWSON I AM DISGUSTED BY YOU.
“YOU SEXUALIZING AN 11 YEAR OLD GIRL WHO HAPPENS TO BE MY SISTER!!!!!!
“IS THE FURTHEST THING FROM FUNNY AND NOT OKAY IN THE SLIGHTEST BIT.”
Jaden also brought up the allegations of “blackface” from Shane in a plea to the younger generation.
“This Man Was Also Doing Black Face On The Regular. As The Youth We Need To Support Creators Who Support Us And Our Morals. This Is Not Okay,” he tweeted.

The stars dad, Will Smith, 51, has still not publicly commented on the resurfaced video.
Responding to the backlash for his past “racist” content, Shane admitted: “Blackface was something that I did a lot.
“Like, I did it a lot on my channel. There’s no excuse for it, there’s literally no excuse,” he added.
Shane’s reps have not yet responded for The Sun’s request to comment.
