On Sunday, folks all over the United States celebrated Motherβs Day. But thereβs 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 Motherβs Day edition of Deeper Than Hair Magazine styled by Wilfrod Lenov with hair by Annagjid βKeeβ 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 Skaiβs mother sported the bra outright and had only the upper part of the famous underwear brand peaking from the top of her jeans, Skaiβs underwear was on full display albeit adorned with belts (see second slide.) However, folks online werenβt feeling the look and took the comments on the Neighborhood Talkβs Instagram post about them specifically to air out their grievances.
βUmmmm pants PLEASSSSSE Iβm so uncomfortable looking at this child like this. Beautiful faces but please lorrrdt,β wrote one user.
βOmg sheβs a child why is she wearing that in front of her mother,β said another (never mind the fact that her mother is wearing the exact same thing but go off, I guess.)
βI donβt see why she donβt have pants on,β said one user.
βI have a daughter and I never plan to do a photoshoot with her and we in underwear IDK,β said another.
However, despite the negativity, other followers were quick to come to the duoβs defense.
βYβall be trying to keep Disney actors in a box. Skai is grown...,β said one user.
βFor 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,βwrote another.
βStop acting like these child stars donβt grown up and become adults. If youβre 21 & up, youβre no longer a child. No one cares what you would or wouldnβt do because no one is checking for you. Skai and her mother are both beautiful black women and are snatched. I love it,β said another.
Is this yet another classic case of not letting child stars grown up or did Skai take it too far?
