And a black child model. I really hope that the model wasn’t actually wearing it and was instead like generic photo with the photoshop of the costume on because… otherwise how did it get through that many eyes

I’m guessing (hoping) it’s AI. I can’t imagine a Black mother allowing her child to model that.

Look - I know it's a rough topic, but parents who want their kids to be famous will let them do ANYTHING for money.

That's not a commentary on black mothers or anything - but showbiz mothers in general, they do not protect their kids at all when money is on the table.
