Amber Rose Calls Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie's Daughter A 'Transkid,' Addresses Shiloh As 'John' And Uses 'Him' For Her
Amber Rose is facing backlash for calling Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter Shiloh a "transkid." The hip-hop artist posted a picture of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt dressed in a black suit and a neck tie and said she was happy how Brad and Angelina are allowing her to dress the way she wants to. The 31-year-old faced severe criticism for her message and she has since deleted the post. It can, however, be seen here.
"How gorgeous is John Jolie Pitt?" Born into the perfect family for him. #TransKid #LoveurKidsNoMatterWhat #Support," Amber posted on her Instagram profile, with a photo of Shiloh. The picture shows the child standing with her siblings and father Brad Pitt during the premiere of film "Unbroken" in Hollywood. Shiloh can be seen wearing black trousers, white shirt, a black necktie and a black blazer. She looks boyish, with really short hair and hand in her pocket.
In her 2008 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Angelina said that Shiloh likes to call herself by male names like "John or Peter" and they call her "John" often. In 2010 interview, Angelina talked abut Shiloh's Montenegro style, a country in Southeastern Europe. "It's how people dress there. She likes tracksuits, she likes (regular) suits," said Angelina in one of her interviews, as quoted by E Online. "So it's a suit with a tie and a jacket and slacks, or a tracksuit. She likes to dress like a boy. She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair," she added.
Many commentators have said that Amber Rose crossed the line by referring to Shiloh as a transgender kind." "Kids are very sensitive. How can you not think Amber crossed the line?," writes Esoteric11 in the comment section of TMZ's site. However, some comments also have been posted in support of Amber's post, saying Brad and Angelina should not have encouraged Shiloh to dress-up like a boy since childhood. "I don't see how someone who hasn't even hit puberty yet decides they are the wrong gender. Sorry, I think the parents are forcing this," writes palermo in the comments section of TMZ.
