Willow Smith has prompted a wave of reactions after sharing a tearful selfie on Instagram. The 22-year-old singer posted a close-up image of herself with a single tear rolling down her cheek, captioned with the cryptic word '≤pantomime≥'.
Fans and celebrities alike responded, with singer Camila Cabello commenting 'I love you angel,' while others expressed concern. One follower wrote, 'Big girls cry when they hearts are breaking,' and another added, 'Never keep it bottled in, always let it out.'
The emotional post comes amid a challenging period for the Smith family. Willow's talk show, 'Red Table Talk', which she co-hosted with mother Jada Pinkett Smith and grandmother Adrienne Banfield-Norris, was cancelled after Meta shut down its Facebook Watch Originals Entertainment Group in April. Jada later confirmed on Instagram that the show is seeking a new home.
The cancellation is part of broader cuts at Meta, which is laying off 10,000 employees following 11,000 redundancies in late 2022. 'Red Table Talk' first premiered in May 2018 and was produced by Westbrook Studios, owned by Jada and Will Smith.
