Jada Pinkett Smith has defended her decision to let her two children start their showbusiness careers at such a young age, insisting they don’t shoulder the same burdens as other pre-teen stars because they have no financial pressures.
Jada and her husband Will Smith’s son Jaden, 12, already has a movie career, starring in last year’s (10) remake of The Karate Kid, while his 10-year-old sister, Willow, has launched herself as a singer and is currently on tour with Justin Bieber.
The Smiths have come under scrutiny for letting their young children enter the spotlight, with author Terry MCMillan even accusing them of “exploiting” and “pimping” out their kids.
But Pinkett Smith has brushed off the criticism and she is adamant her son and daughter remain “grounded”.
