AceShowbiz - Lourdes Leon has defended herself after facing backlash over her racy magazine photo shoot. Responding to social media trolls who compare showing skin to being a h*e, the eldest daughter of Madonna dubbed the negative comments "ridiculous."
"First of all, I would say that showing skin does not equate with h*e activity, ok?" the 25-year-old told fashion designer Raul Lopez during an interview with Paper magazine. She added, "And I think it's a bit ridiculous that people are still living in this world where we're equating showing skin with wanting attention or being a h*e."
Lourdes, who goes by Lola, went on to say, "Literally, like let a b***h. Let her wear what she wants." She then discussed the pressures women face when they are in the spotlight, saying, "You have to follow these rules and be cute, be polite and be nice. Not do too much of this, not do too much of that."
"You can't talk s**t to anyone because people will be so mad at you, even though they're talking s**t to you in the first place, but you can't clap back," Lola continued. She stressed, "God forbid you to clap back."
Lola also shared that her "values" encourage people to be "as least or as most sexual" as they want. "People really place a lot of value in women on how they look and how sexual they are," she explained. "Be hot, but not too hot. Be the virgin and the w***e at the same time ... So the second you reclaim that sexuality as something that is your own, people are f**king mad."
Elsewhere during the interview, Lola admitted that she's not fond of comparisons of her to her mom Madonna. "I have a base layer of hatred because so many people like to hate on my mom, so it's obviously like I'm the spawn, I'm the oldest daughter, I'm going to see the tail end of that hate," she said of the backlash she received in the past. "So anything I do negative, it's, 'Like mother, like daughter.' Y'all are so unoriginal."
Recently, Lola's mom Madonna faced backlash after sharing NSFW bedroom pictures. In the comment section of the post, one wrote, "Please stop this pornographic ridiculousness." Another added, "Honey I think the angel flew off long time ago."
In the meantime, 50 Cent wrote, "[Eyeball emoji] yo this is the funniest s**t LOL [laughing emoji]." The "In Da Club" rapper then mocked her as saying, "That's Madonna under the bed trying to do like a virgin at 63. she shot out, if she don't [sic] get her old a** up. LMFAO [crying laughing emojis]." A few days later, however, he apologized publicly for hurting her.
