Movie star and wife to award winning rapper/actor Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith has taking a stand for 16-year-old rape victim, Jada. she wrote on her Facebook page that "this could be you, or me, or any woman or girl that we know." Actress Mia Farrow also noticed the trend and took to Twitter to ask parents and teachers to step up their game.
Jada was allegedly drugged, raped, and photographed and filmed at a fellow high schooler's party. The pictures of the 16-year-old's naked and unconscious body were soon uploaded prompting her friends to contact her about the incident.
"Everybody knows," Jada told KHOU 11 News in Houston. "And everybody's texting me, 'Are you okay? You're going to be okay.'"
The photos and videos also became something of a joke to Internet users who have started the tags #jadapose and #jadacounterpose to mock the teen's limp body in pictures of their own. Pinkett Smitth used the hashtag #justiceforjada in her Facebook post, writing: "This could be you, me, or any woman or girl that we know. What do we plan to do about this ugly epidemic? #justiceforjada"
"Parents & teachers it's time to step up! Teach boys to respect each other and all girls and women #JusticeforJada," While Jada has already reported her attack to the police, the perpetrator remains at large and reportedly called the teen a "hoe" who "snitched" on social media.
