Willow Smith Began Cutting Herself After Whip My Hair Fame


Willow Smith speaks candidly about her struggle with self harming following the success of her hit single 'Whip My Hair...'

During a segment of Jada Pinkett Smith's 'Red Table Talk' on Facebook Willow admits,
“I would have to say — honestly I feel like I lost my sanity at one point. It was after that whole ‘Whip My Hair’ thing and I had just stopped doing singing lessons and I was kind of like, just in this gray area of, ‘Who am I? Do I have a purpose? Is there anything, like, I can do besides this?’”
“After the tour and the promotion and all of that, they wanted me to finish my album. And I was like — I’m not gonna do that. And after all of that kinda settled down and it was like a kind of lull, I was just listening to a lot of dark music, and it was just so crazy and I was just like plunged into this black hole, and I was, like, cutting myself.”
“I never talk about it because it was such a short weird point in my life, but you have to pull yourself … out of it. I honestly felt like I was experiencing so much emotional pain, but my physical circumstances weren’t reflecting that.”


Clearly Jada was not aware and taken off guard by Willows confession.
