Moms are known for embarrassing their kids. But if you’re Dakota Johnson and your mom is famous actress Melanie Griffith, the embarrassment level goes up when she introduces you to the President of the United States.
While talking about some of her past movie roles, like The Social Network from 2010, Dakota shared with Vanity Fair how she felt a bit embarrassed during her first meeting with Barack Obama, all because of her mom.
“One time, I was with my mom, and we were meeting Barack Obama, which was a big deal,” Dakota recalled. “He was talking to her, and she said, ‘Oh, Mr. President, this is my daughter. She just did a movie. She’s an actress too. She was in The Social Network.’”
But instead of stopping there, her mom added an embarrassing detail, telling the former president, “She’s in her underwear.” In the movie, Dakota plays a college student who has a fling with Justin Timberlake’s character, Sean Parker, and in one scene, she wears an off-the-shoulder Stanford sweatshirt and bright red underwear.
About the experience, Dakota joked, “And I died. I died inside.”
In the same video, she talked about her thoughts before working with Justin Timberlake on The Social Network. “Are you kidding? I was just 19 and straddling Justin Timberlake and whipping him in the face with my hair,” Dakota said when asked if she had any ideas about acting with the former boy band member. “I definitely had some preconceived notions, but he was really nice and welcoming, especially since I was just a stranger.”
“You are an irresponsible mother !! You look at the phone, with the child at your feet… ” What was the woman’s explanation?
On the Internet, a photo from an airport showing a mother using the phone while her infant is left on the ground covered in a blanket has caused a lot of criticism. The young mother received a lot of backlash in the virtual space for leaving her infant on the floor, treating it like luggage, and instead choosing to sit on the phone.
When the picture was shared online with a well-known quotation from Albert Einstein, “I fear the day when technology will be more important than interpersonal relationships,” the image went viral. A new generation of fools is going to emerge in the world.
Although she appears to be a deranged mother at first, the reason behind the woman who abandoned her infant on the ground will cause us to reconsider our tendency to judge people based just on their outward appearance.
When the picture that was shot without her consent became viral online and was accompanied by derogatory remarks like “You are a distorted mother!!” The woman made the decision to be honest, saying, “You sit on the phone, the baby at your feet, and you don’t care about him.”
After their flight was canceled, Molly Lensing—a pediatric nurse by trade with two other kids at home—and her two-month-old daughter found themselves stuck at the Colorado airport for over 20 hours.
“After spending too many hours in her stroller, Anastasia was exhausted, and my hands were sore from carrying my bags and cuddling with her.” On a television broadcast, Molly said, “I had to tell all the family members where we were, and he needed a place to lay down.”
The woman added that she noticed her picture floating around the Internet a few months after the bad encounter she had at the Colorado airport. Molly started getting hateful remarks on Facebook after a few internet users recognized her name. While some commented that she was “a terrible mother,” others defended her.
“I felt as though someone had invaded my private. I was worried that my supervisor or one of my coworkers would see the photo and get fired because I work at a pediatric clinic. Fortunately, Molly Lensing stated that this did not occur.
