Several celebrities including Jameela Jamil, Aubrey O’Day, and Akilah Hughes have come to the defense of Sasha Obama as she faces an onslaught of social media criticism over a viral photo and TikTok video.
In a clip that was shared on TikTok earlier this month, the 19-year-old daughter of former U.S. President Barack Obama could be seen dancing with a group of around six friends.
The user, identified only as @pixiestick222, quickly deleted the video, but not before someone else captured it and shared it on Twitter. It was on that platform that it took on a whole new life.
Sasha, who is a student at the University of Michigan, began trending as thousands of online commenters vilified her behavior while others were quick to celebrate and defend her.
