Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith are allegedly stressing over their 21-year-old daughter, Willow

In its Feb. 7 issue, Globe claimed that Willow’s popularity has gotten into her head. After all, she was recently named as one of Time magazine’s most influential people of 2021.

“Willow already had little use for her parents’ advice, but now it’s ten times worse. Willow goes back and forth between riding her parents’ coattails with the doors their famous names open and the opposite extreme where she strikes out on her own, hangs out with non-showbiz friends, and tries to be a normal, anonymous young person,” the source said.

The insider also claimed that Willow’s family thinks that her future success in the industry hangs on her not getting on the outs with them and instead pitching and helping everyone accomplish their goals.

Willow’s family doesn’t want her to rely on them completely and not pull her own weight.

“Although Willow always insists her folks are their own people, there have been times that it’s upset her. In a lot of ways, you can’t blame her for wanting to do things her own way and not take advice from her parents. But Will and Jada don’t see it in that way,” the source said.

However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt. It’s unclear what Will and Jada’s issues with Willow are. After all, the claims made by the tabloid seem inconsistent.

Initially, they said that Will and Jada are worried about their daughter becoming a brat and becoming arrogant after she was named as one of Time’s most influential people.

On the other hand, the tabloid also claimed that the couple wants their children to be independent and assertive. At times, they want Willow to depend on them but not entirely because she’s an adult that can make her own life decisions.

The inconsistencies suggest that the tabloid is just making up a story about Willow and creating issues where there are none.

Willow is busy doing her thing and she’s already an adult at 21 so she has all the right to make decisions for herself regardless of what the public might say.

Years ago, the performer was also criticized because of her hairstyle but she proved that she doesn’t care what other people think of her. As long as she’s confident with the way she looks then that’s all that matters.
